We creaked open the large gates as white mist surrounded us where we could see as if everything had been erased onto a blank canvas, nor could we see each other, other then the clasp of our hands together.We took another step and suddenly all the mist had been gone as if it had never been there to begin with. "Magic is weird." I noted to myself out loud.Ariel didn't reply, just gasped what she saw before her. I looked where she was gawking at and realized what was before us.If I didn't know better I would have thought there was a fight to the death in the trees.Unfortunately we both knew what truly happened here, the treants finally had their flesh filled meal.The image was nauseating, and this time they have not been swallowed whole. Instead it was a tortured act among the tree-people-eating monsters.One guy, over weight and hair loss, had his eyes wide open, there were no color in his eyes, white and life less.His mouth and chin covered in his own spattered blood.His body
I sighed scratching the back of my head. "Sounds like a bad idea," Lucifer said grudgingly.Those words were all I needed to make my decision. "Yeah, okay. You can come with us." I agreed. "You're such a foolish boy." He stated ambiguously.I mentally rolled my eyes. "Alright where are we?" I asked myself taking a look around. "The middle of no where?" The women said obviously.I gave her a quizzical look making her reply with. "Sorry, that much is obvious but I dont know where we are going." She said innocently. "Don't tell her anything," Lucifer whispered as if others were listening. "We are going to Avalon." I said out of spite.Lucifer groaned in the back of my mind and Ariel looked at me as if I betrayed our mission. "Avalon? I thought that was just a myth..." she trailed off looking from Ariel back to me. "I knew it you two are witches!" She exclaimed picking up a tree branch and holding it against me, my eye brow raised in amusement.My mind went back to wha
I walked past her, but changed my mind and turned around to face her again. "I heard about you, I know what you are," I said with a smirk. "Many people know who and what I am, so don't flatter yourself," Ashley said through sputter. "I heard about you from Merlin," I said in a low mumble.Ashley's eyes flashed in recognition as she eyed me closely. "What do you want from me?" She whispered. "Not sure what you mean, you came up to us, remember?" I said cheekily. "I don't know what game you're trying to play, but it won't work on me." She lashed quietly.I felt my mind shift and suddenly I'm watching from the sidelines. "I'm pretty sure you are quite aware," Lucifer spoke imitating my voice changing our eyes to a soulless black.Her eyes turned ember as wisps of hair licked around her through the wind and then shifted back to emerald green. "I'm going to ask, one more time. Why are you going to the lake?" She wasn't looking at us, she was looking at the naked blistered w
I took her hand and pulled her quickly to the entrance as it is only a couple dozen feet away from us.The specks of sand dusted on my bare arms felt blistered as I moved agilely towards the next sand dune, I felt my skin redden and began to blister in this ridiculous heatwave. Once I got to my destination, I fell back against the dune feeling the burning sensation on my back making me sit up straighter and bolstering despair. I looked back making sure they didn’t hear me hiss in pain, they were walking toward me. ‘Shit’ I thought in my head as I strategically moved around it trying to not wince or make any sound. I looked over to where the girls were standing, and Ariel hid on the other side holding Gracie with her hand covering Gracie’s mouth making sure she doesn’t make a sound. “That was strange I swear I heard someone or something over here.” The first soldier spoke. “I think we are just hallucinating from the heat, we are in metal suits dressed in the desert, whose b
"Okay so, who are you?" Ariel questioned eying him carefully. "Ah my dear, I fear if I tell you, you will not listen." He replied a small smirk placed upon his lips. "So will you not going to tell me?" She questioned getting irritated. I kept quiet I know what happens when she gets mad. "I have to tell you, whether I want to or not, it is my duty." He sat up straighter. "Alright well, hurry up I'm very tired." She replied. He took her hand gently in his and took everything in me not to let go of my anger. "My darling girl, I am your father." His words came like swords and they were meant to cut deep. "What kind of joke is this?" Ariel half-laughed. "Its no joke Ariel, It's true." The man said holding her hand between both of his. "Lies!" She pulled her hand away as if he'd burned her. "Shall I explain?" He asked calmly. "If you were my father you would have kept me, instead of sending me off to an orphanage," she stated quieter because the dirty looks the
Margons' P.O.V I stood over the hills of the town of Playtom, you could smell the food and beer from here. My eye socket encrusted with blood, the one who stole my concubine will be killed and slaughtered. I could smell the magic in the air, the lust of killing was also quite strong. "Little concubine I can smell you from here, did you really think that it was over?" I mumbled under my breath. "Sir we have news," Garofalo stated. "Well what is it?" I demanded. "Sir we have gotten news that King Arthur has been reincarnated and he may or may not be located here." He explained. "That's ridiculous, King Arthur's been dead for over a milionia and reincarnation is a myth." I stated. "We know that sir but he's been seen here." Garofalo stated once more. "Then I reckon we must move quickly." I say loud enough for my group to hear me. "Yes sir!" They exclaimed. A knights P.O.V "I think we went the wrong way," Galaine insisted. "Why do you suppose that?" I question
Luke’s P.O.V “Just chatting amongst myself,” I replied. “You’re weird,” He commented with his face skewered at his opinion of me, I Shrugged ignoring him. “Hey, mister wanna buy a newspaper?” He asked as he held it toward me. “No, thanks,” I said starting to walk away. “Awe come on, I need to make money for some food for my sisters.” the small boy said in despair. I stopped in my tracks as I had a sudden memory about how awful it was being back on those streets of mudhaven panning and pickpocketing for hours just to get enough money for a slice of bread. I took a breath as I effortlessly put my hands in my pockets looking for a change, knowing I had none, and instead of an empty pocket, I found coins in place. I was shocked, where did all this money come from? I gave him five dollars, and he passed me a newspaper and went in his change hat, and started picking up change. “Keep the change kid,” I said walking away. “A-are you sure?” He called after me. “You need
I have to make it to Ariel quickly before they find her alone. Quietly I made my way through the alley the cobblestoned walls rough and rigid as I placed my hand against it cautiously. I took a peek around the wall where they were standing, I forgot how large and muscular they were. "The only way for you to defeat them is if you let me take full control." Lucifer objectified. "Since when do you ask or need permission?" I questioned rolling my eyes. "That's only partially my power, in order to use it fully I must ask your permission to do the rest." He explained gritting our teeth. "Is that like a consensual thing, or?" I questioned teasingly. "Will you shut up and answer the question," he asked irritated. I took a minute to think about it, how do I know he isn't doing this to trick me? "Sorry not going to happen." I said slyly. "Better not get caught then," Lucifer said with a grunt. That's when it happened, something caused me to lose my balance and I fell rig
