Spike felt a knot of frustration in his stomach. He had been so sure that his plan would work, but it seemed to have backfired. Now, Travis and Carnelian were even closer than before. He had to do something, but what? He wracked his brain for another idea, but nothing came to him. He felt helpless and defeated.But then, a thought occurred to him. What if he could make Travis seem untrustworthy, without doing anything obvious? What if he could make Travis look bad without anyone knowing it was him?Travis felt a sharp pain as a rock hit him on the head. He turned to look for the source of the rock, but he couldn't see anything. The only other person there was Carnelian, and she was standing there with a look of innocence on her face. But Travis knew that something was off. He was convinced that she was behind the rock, even if she was pretending to be surprised."Did you just throw that rock at me?" Travis asked, his voice shaking with anger."What?" Carnelian said, her eyes widening.

"Spike, I need you to tell me what's going on," Carnelian said, her voice gentle but firm. "Why have you been acting so strangely? And why have you been trying to interfere with my relationships?"Spike looked at her with tear-filled eyes. "I'm just trying to protect you," he said, his voice shaking. "I've seen your future, and it's full of heartbreak. I know that if you get too close to Travis, it will only end in pain. I'm only doing this because I care about you. I'm sorry if I've upset you."Travis clenched his jaw, his hands balling into fists at his side. He had taken a leap of faith by pursuing a relationship with Carnelian, and it took every ounce of courage he had to do so. And now, Spike was trying to ruin it all. He felt betrayed and angry, and he couldn't help but wonder if Spike was jealous. He wasn't sure how to react, but he knew he needed to stay calm and try to resolve the situation.Spike's eyes were filled with tears, but Carnelian stood firm. She knew that he was o

Mrs. Blackwood continued to fan herself, looking smug. 'We are coming with you to Star Valley, and I will make sure that the emperor marries my daughter,' she said. 'My wife, you mean,' Markus said, his voice firm. Mr. Blackwood walked over and stood toe to toe with him. 'Not if I have anything to say about it,' he said, his tone threatening. Markus felt trapped. He knew that as long as this alliance was in place, his in-laws would never stop trying to put a wedge between him and Celeste."So enjoy your 'so-called wife' while your marriage lasts, because this will be your last," Mr. Blackwood said, passing the letter to Markus. Scales lowered her head and nuzzled his shoulder, sensing his anxiety. Markus's shoulders trembled, and he felt torn between anger and fear. The emperor had not yet made his decision, so there was still a chance that this alliance could fall through. But if it didn't, he knew that his marriage would be in danger. Celeste was a strong and independent woman,
Rise of The Fallen Son-in-law Vol. 2 Chapter 75
The emperor nodded, and a servant ushered the Blackwoods to their rooms. Another servant led Aviva and Celeste to their own rooms, while Markus was left standing alone in the throne room. The silence was deafening, and he could feel the weight of the situation pressing down on him. He took a deep breath, trying to stay calm and focused. He needed to be ready for whatever came next.Celeste's eyes were red and puffy, and her voice trembled as she spoke. "I can't do this, Markus," she said, her voice breaking. "I don't want to marry the emperor. I don't want to be a bargaining chip in this political game. I just want to be happy, and I can't be happy if I'm forced to marry someone I don't love." She buried her face in her hands, her shoulders shaking as she sobbed. Markus put his hand on her shoulder, wishing he could take away her pain.Markus opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out. What could he say to make this better? He was just as lost and confused as Celeste, and he fe

The emperor smiled, a cruel and satisfied smile. "Then it is settled," he said. "You have until the end of the week to prepare for the duel. May the gods have mercy on your soul."Markus nodded, his heart pounding in his chest. He had just agreed to a fight that could very well cost him his life. But he knew he had to do it, for Celeste.It was clear to Markus that the emperor was playing a dangerous game. He had given Markus the illusion of choice, but in reality, he was forcing him into a deadly situation. It seemed that Uriel had no intention of honoring their original alliance, and was only using it as a way to manipulate and control him. But Markus refused to be a pawn in the emperor's game. He was determined to find a way out of this, for himself and for Celeste.Markus had no choice but to face this unknown warrior in a fight to the death, but he was determined to find out everything he could about his opponent. Perhaps there was some weakness he could exploit, some way to gain
Rise of The Fallen Son-in-law Vol. 2 Chapter 77
The emperor's gaze was cold and calculating as he considered his options. He could dissolve the alliance, casting Celeste aside like so many other women he had used and discarded. Or he could simply dispose of Markus, silencing the one who posed a threat to his power. No matter what he chose, it would be a cruel and selfish decision, made without regard for the people whose lives he held in his hands. His arrogance and entitlement blinded him to the human cost of his actions.As Markus watched Aviva and Roman, a knot of tension and anxiety formed in his stomach. He had seen them together before, but never like this. Something was different, something he couldn't quite put his finger on. Roman's usually confident and arrogant demeanor seemed to have softened, his face betraying a hint of vulnerability. And Aviva's expression was a mix of joy and sorrow, her eyes betraying a deep sense of longing. What were they talking about? And why did it seem so important?The words that finally cam

As he spoke, Roman's hands began to glow with a fiery light, and he balled them into fists. The fire crackled and flickered, illuminating his face with a terrifying intensity. He took a step towards Markus, his expression grim and resolute."You're wrong about me," said Markus, his voice barely above a whisper. "I'm not as weak as you think."With those words, the two men charged at each other, fists raised and ready to strike. The air between them seemed to shimmer and spark with energy, and the temperature rose with each passing moment.As they neared, Markus dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding a blow from Roman's flaming fist. The heat was almost unbearable, and he could feel the sweat pouring down his face. But he knew he had to keep fighting, for if he didn't, all would be lost.Roman swung again, this time connecting with Markus' shoulder. The pain was excruciating, but Markus gritted his teeth and kept moving.With a snarl, Roman extinguished his fire fists, knowing that phys

The guards scattered, some of them shouting in alarm, others simply staring in shock. Aviva was the only one who remained calm, watching the scene unfold with a look of steely resolve. She knew that Roman was capable of great destruction, but she also knew that he was capable of great compassion.Uriel struggled against Roman's grasp, but he was no match for the strength of the god of thunder. He could feel the heat of Roman's flames against his skin, and he knew that if he didn't do something soon, he would meet a painful end."You can't do this!" Uriel cried, his voice high with panic. "You'll be no better than me if you kill me!"Roman's eyes narrowed, and he brought his face close to the emperor's. "Maybe so," he said, his voice low and menacing. "But I'm not the one who murdered my own father."Roman released his hold on the emperor, stepping back and letting him slump to the ground, defeated. "I am not a murderer," he said, his voice shaking. "But you have forced me to confront t

"Roman, you have to kill them for good this time." Nicklaus said."Not if we kill you first!" Kel roared.Roman's eyes flew around calculating. "I can't, it's against my code. I've spent my time watching people die_"Nicklaus pushed him out of the way before Kel stomped on him."Nicklaus, you saved my life, I thought you hated me." Roman said with a tone of slight there.Nicklaus didn't respond to his mockery and he held up a dagger."Remember, love, love." Laureline sprayed glowing blossom and rose petals in the air.The brothers averted their eyes. "Resist the temptation brother!" Grendel groaned.Kel's eyes watered and he gazed at Nicklaus with teary eyes. "Your life is worth more than all the gold and the accolades, Nicklaus, run wild and free, my friend."Nicklaus didn't know if Kel meant it or if he was under Laureline's compulsion.Suddenly he punched his brother Grendel."What are you doing?!" Grendel instead was driven by anger and he couldn't resist."Saving a damsel's life.

Roman shook his head, his face grim. "I don't know. But we have to find him, before he does something we'll all regret." And with that, they set off in search of Nicklaus, not knowing what they would find. As Laureline and Roman searched for Nicklaus, they realized that they would need help if they were to find him. So they turned to Biscuit, Roman's dragon companion. With Biscuit's help, they were able to track Nicklaus' trail, following the path of destruction he left in his wake. They flew high above the trees, searching for any sign of Nicklaus. And then, finally, they spotted him in the distance. The Titan brothers sat with Nicklaus tied to a stake and placed over a fire set up."You guys don't want to eat me? I haven't even showered."Grendel and Kel laughed at Nicklaus' feeble attempt at humor. "You're not funny, little man," Grendel sneered. "You're about to become a burnt offering to the gods." Nicklaus struggled against his bonds, but it was no use. He was completely at th

Valor fought with all his might, but Kel's grip was like a vice. The giant's fingers dug into Valor's feathers, holding him fast. Nicklaus watched in horror as Kel's hand closed around Valor's neck, ready to snap it like a twig. Nicklaus could hear Valor's cries of pain, could see the fear in his eyes. He had to do something, anything, to save his friend. But he was powerless, trapped in the trench. He could only watch as Kel prepared to end Valor's life. Nicklaus picked up. "Valor!"He lifted a boulder shaking and Kel looked at him and laughed hard."Look the so-called half-god can't even lift a rock."The brothers laughed and in their merriment Nicklaus saw a large figure coming hard and fast. Roman roared in his giant form and he shrunk but his momentum made all the difference. Kel fell flat on his face with a loud BOOM! and the terrain cratered leaving a cloud of dust.Grendel protected his eyes from the dust and he saw that the griffin had escaped from Kel's grasp! He beat his

"Father, I know what you're going to say," Nicklaus said, bracing himself for the lecture he knew was coming. "But Valor is more than just a protector. He's like a member of the family to me. I know he has an important job to do, but he's also my friend." Darius looked at his son with a mixture of exasperation and affection. "Nicklaus, I understand how you feel," he said, "but you must remember that Valor is not a human. He is a griffin, with his own needs and desires. You cannot expect him to be like a brother."Valor is not just some plaything for you to amuse yourself with," Darius said sternly. "He is a powerful creature with an important job to do. You need to take this seriously." Nicklaus looked down at his feet, feeling ashamed of himself. He knew that his father was right, but he also couldn't help feeling a deep connection with Valor. The griffin had become more than just a protector to him; it was like a true friend. "I'm sorry, Father," he said, his voice barely above a w

"Valor, I'm warning you!" Nicklaus said, growing more and more agitated. "If you don't move aside this instant, I'll..." His voice trailed off, unsure of how to finish the threat."Nicklaus, what's gotten into you?" Roman asked, a note of concern in his voice. "You know that Valor is just looking out for you. Why are you trying to force it to let you bond with the dragons?""Because I can!" Nicklaus snapped, frustration evident in his tone. "I don't need Valor's permission to do anything. I'm the one who chose to bond with it, not the other way around."Roman shook his head. "That's not how it works, Nicklaus. Valor is your companion, not just some pet you can order around."Roman looked over at Laureline, relief flooding through him at the sight of her. He'd been worried that things might escalate if Nicklaus kept pushing Valor. But now that she was here, he hoped she could help diffuse the situation."What's going on here?" Laureline asked, frowning at the tense scene before her. "W

Ugochukwu wanted answers about the confrontation between Nicklaus and Roman, but Roman was nonchalant, as if it were no big deal. Instead of dwelling on the drama, he shifted the focus to the truth, implying that Nicklaus was acting on false assumptions. Roman didn't need to justify himself, but he made it clear that he would take action when necessary. And Ugochukwu seemed to understand and respect that. They bonded over their mutual understanding of the situation. "You were right Roman, about the non-violence thing but I'm still going to fight when necessary."Ugochukwu acknowledged that Roman was right about avoiding violence whenever possible. But he also made it clear that he would not hesitate to fight if it was absolutely necessary. And Roman showed his understanding and respect for Ugochukwu's position. It was like they were two warriors, bonding over their shared code of honor. ... Ginger, sat on the bed, Pebbles perched on her head. It was a strange sight to behold, the sm

He watched as the Pegasus and its rider disappeared into the distance, and a feeling of hopelessness washed over him. But he couldn't give up on her, not now, not ever. He would find a way to make things right, no matter what it took.Leo felt torn. He knew that Fiona was his wife and the love of his life, but he also had a deep bond with Ginger. He didn't want to choose between them, but it seemed like he was being forced to. With a heavy heart, he headed back to the castle, Ginger following close behind him. He hoped that Fiona would come around, but he wasn't sure what the future held.As the imp continued to grow, Ginger's body began to sag under the weight. The cat let out a yowl of discomfort, and the imp jumped down from its perch, landing lightly on the ground. It stood there, looking up at the two of them with a sinister smile.As the imp spoke, his body began to stretch and expand, growing larger and larger with each passing second. His robes billowed around him, and he bega

As Fiona lifted the cat, it let out a loud yowl and struggled in her arms. Undeterred, she carried it to the door, determined to find a new home for the animal. But just as she reached for the doorknob, a voice behind her stopped her in her tracks."Fiona." The voice said. She turned to see Leo standing in the doorway, looking concerned. The cat, sensing an opportunity, leapt from her arms and ran to Leo, winding itself around his ankle."Leo, I'm sorry, but this cat is causing nothing but trouble. Just look at what it's doing to the furniture, not to mention the way it's been hissing at me." Fiona said, trying to stay calm. "I just think we would all be better off if we found it a new home."Leo's eyes narrowed. "I can't believe you would even suggest such a thing. Ginger is a part of this family, and I won't just give him away like some piece of furniture."Fiona was taken aback by Leo's words. "I'm not trying to "...be heartless, but I just don't think it's safe to have this cat ar

Before he knew it, he was charging towards Ugo, fists raised.Time seemed to slow down as the two friends faced off, ready to fight.
