Of Glory and Of Doom TWENTY THREE - I can't see
----Unknown---The candle light in his chambers flickered and danced as the cool breeze from the window softly blew across it like gentle breaths caressing a flame.He was seated on his bed, a queen sized bed and was staring at his ceiling, deep in thoughts. It seemed like it was all he did these days, sit and think in silence.The soft bustle of the castle was almost muted from his Chambers. If he strained his ears a little, he would be able to catch the sounds of metals being kept in the storage room, the sound of the kitchen women giggling as they stocked the remaining food in the pantry. He would hear all these if he just strained his ears a little but tonight, he was oblivious to all these.His mind was far away, miles away plotting on how to get the perfect potion to render the king helpless once more.He'd been reading about it for months now. He'd heard that there was a perfect blend of nightshade, rosemary, elderberry and wolfbane that when applied right could cause instant
Of Glory and Of Doom TWENTY FOUR - Disgruntled
Her father was blind.Laura couldn't help the sobs that racked her small frame. She leaned heavily on Elaine as her father protested loudly. She'd seen him before she went to bed last night and everything was well. He was perfectly fine, just a bit down with the flu, but he wasn't meant to be blind.Sure, his sight has been failing for a while but Laura thought that it was all due to old age. He wasn't supposed to just wake up one morning, completely blind. She had seen the blindness coming slowly, but this change was too drastic and it wasn't right. It didn't feel right with her. Mr. Finch was saying something to him and Laura tried to force herself to listen to whatever it was that he was saying, but her heart was beating too loudly and it felt like her chest would cave any moment now. "... You didn't tell anyone about it." Those words brought her out of the fog clouding her mind. She turned to look at her Father, wincing when she saw him dart his eyes around, like he was trying t
Of Glory and Of Doom TWENTY FIVE - Breakfast
The horse carriage finally came to a stop at the Werewolf palace. The prince had been awed by the mass of land the werewolf kingdom owned. He had heard tales about how wide the kingdom was but he thought they were all myths. The palace was huge, it even looked bigger than theirs but he didn't want to agree with that. What he didn't understand was why the kingdom was the shambles. Flowers were dying, the place was desolate but it seemed they tried to put up some decorations.The king got out of the carriage first. He was tired and needed a cold shower. The drama with the bandits and the witch made his head ache. It looked cheap of them coming over and not bringing gifts but he knew King Francis was understanding. He just couldn't wait to tell King Francis of their horrible experience traveling down here.Nicholas got out and followed his father's steps walking briskly into the kingdom. . An old lady was standing before the gates waiting to receive them. "Good not, your majesties." She
Of Glory and Of Doom TWENTY SIX - Wedding Dress
Sipping the wine, prince Nicholas hated the werewolf kingdom all over again. He was used to taking fine, exquisite wine but the wine over here wasn’t the same. And each time he recollected that they had with them wine to bring over as gift and they were stolen by the bandits, he almost wanted to hit his head on the wall. Princess Laura had gotten the best seamstress to make her ball gown. She had put in deliberate efforts to ensure she was looking her best. Mary had helped her style her hair. Everyone wouldn’t stop looking at her. It was either because she looked beautiful or that the news of her father’s blindness was spreading and it was funny to see her celebrating when her father just lost his sight. The werewolf king had chosen to stay indoors from the arrival party of the Vampire prince. He didn’t want his subjects seeing him as a weakling. He was trying his best to stay brave but it was impossible to think of what would happen to the kingdom when his daughter, who was his e
Of Glory and Of Doom TWENTY SEVEN - Love
By the gods, this man was nothing short of a miracle of a face and a hot bud for a body. She looked at him longingly and willing that he would pin her against a wall and ravage her with his eyes only, like she was currently doing.She couldn't believe her eyes, after all the despair for her to be married and now looking into her lover's eyes, she wanted to shake everyone, to hug everyone... Everyone and anyone that had ever gone in favor of her getting married. It was right, it felt right with him, in this moment and right now.They took a break from their dinner, seeing as her father still threw a party for his arrival despite everything that had transpired before he came, her eyes wet at the realization that her father, the wolf king loved her as deeply as he loved himself, some might even add 'more than he loved himself' The moon peaked out of the starless sky, out in pearls that cast their glow on the withered gardens and the little pond as they walked by it in silence. Laura cou
Of Glory and Of Doom TWENTY EIGHT - Nuisance
He said cute! Laura was in over her head at the way he dropped his eyes, she thought perhaps it was just a thing that she imagined but really, she could believe that if only, he hadn't taken his height to hers and in her face gave the sexiest vibe and said in a really deep voice that came from his throat or better still behind the Adam's apple and whispered in her ear 'cute' . Her heart did a marathon in a beat and he must have noticed because he hadn't regained his height, his eyes were still eye level with hers and she could practically feel his breath on her and the ripples of tiny tingles it created, sent her on an extra drive. She didn't understand what this was but although she knew for certain he was in love with her, she needed to be sure first. Hence when he stood upright and cast a gaze from above her with his nose, she found that demeaning but in a sexual way that just felt right."Cute huh? But you're just seeing me for the first time, how'd you know I was cute?' She had a
Of Glory and Of Doom TWENTY NINE - Red Cheeks
Laura woke up late in the morning, her eyes hurting. She had cried herself to sleep last night, thinking about her Father. Sure, she enjoyed herself in Prince Nicholas's presence, even as she thought that she'd hate it. But that little distraction wasn't enough to take her mind off what her Father was going through. She stood up and made her bed, placing her things in order. She sometimes did this when she wanted to calm her thoughts and she decided that this was not going to take her mind off of it. Grunting with annoyance, she marched to her door and threw up open, startling the guard who stood outside."I'm so sorry, but can you get my maid, Suzy. She should be down in the kitchens." She noticed that the guard's gaze was locked on her face and she didn't need a mirror to see that her face was splotchy and red and that her eyes were swollen. She grew frustrated at all that was happening and snapped at the guard. "Yes, I'd been crying. Can you get Suzy? Now."The guard, who was a
Of Glory and Of Doom THIRTY - Fight!
Lily took her stand and slowly started to surround this creature, moving in a clockwise position, he followed her trail... It wasn't like the way it was the last time that she had fought with someone in an open field or in a ring, she painfully remembered how it had gone. She won of course but she didn't know then that she would be fighting a soon to be traitor. She looked at this creature, her head filled with all manners of conclusion as of where did he emerge from. He had the palest skin she had ever seen, skin so pale, it would make her skin crawl. He had the sharpest jawline she had ever seen, an inverted dimple on the chin and tiny ones on his cheeks that seemed to showcase themselves every time he frowned and sucked his cheeks as he was doing right now."Who are you!" She shouted at him with her kaayan accent thick on her tongue. He looked at her with the eyes that she had only seen in dead fishes, his was worse and yet there was something so fierce it made her almost want to
