Princess Laura lashed at king Eric but the guards were quick to stop her. The heavily built guard carried her like she weighed a zilch and hoisted her on his shoulder faces down. The princess screamed, hitting his back but he didn't bulge. He is grasps on her thighs we're still firm.The guard threw her on the bed and the princess shouted when her head hit the headboard of the bed. Her hands on her head, she massaged the spot of her head with throbbing pain then sat up on her, a scowl etched in her features. The princess spat at the old king just across her room. He was seated on the chair for her dressing mirror and he had two guards standing on each side on him. She stared hard at the door. It was locked. She turned to the windows and it's small frames wouldn't fit through her body. She needed to escape. She wanted to. Having the vampire king now ruling over the werewolf kingdom was hell. The old man was crazy and was obsessed with the craze of having an hybrid as heir. It was ev
Of Glory and Of Doom SIXTY FIVE - Scowls
The commander was tired of hearing the people murmur. It saddened her heart that her people thought that way. They were her people and she would never put them in danger. She always risked her life for them. It was something she had learnt from baba Mbari. Leaders were risk takers and they had to sacrifice for their people. It was one of his teachings that stuck to her brain.Nicholas being there made things worse. The people were further reluctant to follow their commander. They were afraid to have the vampire prince in their midst. Many of them had their heart palpitating as they all murmured.Lily was agitated. She was tired and drained. The murmurs were getting on her nerves and she didn't have a plan. The priestess had said she was going to led them to victory but how was that going to be possible? Her head was blank. She had no plans, no strategy, no blueprint and no layout. She had no idea what to do to lead the people to victory. She was utterly confused on what to do. She d
Of Glory and Of Doom SIXTY SIX - Nightfalls
Lily practiced till nightfall. She turned and turned till the pain subconsciously ebbed away. Till she acclimatized with her wolf and with the strength it offered. She had never felt so freeing and she revelled in it. In the feeling it gave her. She had just gotten to the camp, after going many miles away from there to practice her werewolf transformation, and so she was surprised when she saw that everywhere was quiet. Since they'd set camp, the grounds have been busy with Vampires and Werewolves, all practicing and learning how to work as a team. Sure, they have been some hitches and in total, everything was yet to go smoothly, but she saw the progress that they made, even as they didn't. She walked stealthily past the tents, trying not to make a sound and hoping that she won't step on any branch. She heard a rustle to her left and squatted down behind a tent, looking around it as two men - her men, walked past her. One had his arm around the other and the other tried so hard to
Of Glory and Of Doom SIXTY SEVEN - Confessions
Lily was gazing faraway, thinking of Him, again. She had moved further away from her warriors that were training on the plain and sat, surrounded by a parchment of wild daffodils, overlooking a swords clashing and grunts could be heard afar off from her warriors as they trained rigorously. They would be there till mid day but, it was always worth it. They were the undefeated Kayaans and she meant for it to stay that way. She picked up a smooth stone from the soft earth, brushing off leaves and dirt around it. She tossed it in watching as the waters formed larger ripples from the place where the stone had landed. She felt like that was the way her mind worked at the moment. A small thought or sight would trigger her thoughts, making her to loose focus. These days, it seemed he was all she could think about. She had already resolved in her heart that she would focus only on protecting her people and dealing with the Vampire King. But, everytime she saw Nicholas, since he joined forces

Lily and the others had stopped walking and waited for their arrival as the priestess had already told her that they were not far away from where they were nestled.It didn't take long before a buzzing sound was heard followed by a gentle sweet breeze. A signature entrance by the fairies. Everyone was on their feet, alert as always and anxious, Lily didn't know about anybody else but she was anxious. The soldiers all lined up, their fingers in a twist position for defense and their king at their center. He walks out as graciously as he could manage, it was a wonder still tahg he could still think of grace in this position and at
Of Glory and Of Doom SIXTY NINE - A clash of worlds
They had broken out of the woods and were now crouched in the bushes, just outside the palace. Thanks to the excellent tracking skills of the bear shifters, they were able to navigate the woods, be treated to a very nice meal of roast meat and be protected from wild animals by the fairies. The trip had done alot more than Lily had expected. It had created some sort of bond between the kingdoms and there was no doubt that after this war, there would be a lot of strong allies to be called on.Despite the tense situation where they found themselves, Lily was feeling awfully good. It was a refreshing feeling, very different from all the adrenaline she usually felt before a match and she was finding it a good break. It didn't matter that Nicolas was even there, she didn't care. All that mattered was the euphoric feeling she was feeling."One of my fairies just came back with info," the fairy king announced, drawing Lily's attention to the now crouching fairy that had appeared out of nowher
Of Glory and Of Doom SEVENTY - Liason
Everyone bowed before the commander. The kayaans, the fairies, the werewolves, the witches, the vampires, the angels and the gnomes were all faced down paying homage to the commander. Despite the lives lost, they bowed before her singing her praises and celebrating her leading them to victory. The commander was standing next to the prince. Their hands were intertwined, both staring at each other. The people stood up cheering and dancing in victory while Nicholas engulfed her into a hug. He smiled when he got a whiff of her lavander scent. The scent had a mix of foul odour so he grimaced in disgust. The groaning coming from Lily made them pull out of the hug and etched on Lily's face was a wide smile.Prince Nicholas skimmed the commander's body taking in the bruises on her skin. Some parts of her skin were swollen and she had a black eye. "Thank you." He breathed out, holding her hands. Lily gave a smile and he added, "I should still come take the fighting lessons though." The both
Of Glory and Of Doom SEVENTY ONE - Toast
"How long has he been in darkness?" "Ever since I got into the werewolf kingdom." Prince Nicholas answered. All the leaders were in the dining hall having dinner in the werewolf kingdom. It was in celebration of their victory. Lily put a forkful of chicken into her mouth then sipped from her wine. "How did it happen?"The prince recounted the whole story and the commander gave desolate sigh."The doctors?" She raised an eyebrow. "Have you taken him to other kingdoms? They could have the antidote." Lily ended with a shrug, watching princess Laura feed her father.Nicholas took a sip from his wine. "We've called all the doctors, magicians and healers we know and there as been no change. " Lily felt pity for the werewolf king. She couldn't imagine being a leader and not having her eyes working. She wouldn't be able to lead the war if she was blind. "The kaayan healer could be of help.""Lily, we've had a lot of doctors come in from different kingdoms but there hasn't been any changes
