The God King's voice boomed through the courtyard, startling the birds from the trees. "What is the meaning of this?" he demanded, his eyes fixed on Markus. "Why have you brought this man here?"The guards shifted uneasily, glancing at each other before one of them stepped forward to speak. "Your Majesty, this man was found lurking near the palace grounds. We do not know his intentions, but thought it best to bring him before you."Markus' mind raced as he remembered the battle that had taken place not so long ago. The God King had spared his life, but the memory of their fight was still fresh in his mind. He knew that he was on thin ice, and that any wrong move could spell disaster.Fiona's eyes were fixed on him, burning with hatred and resentment.

The king was actually quite taken with Celeste."Mrs. Blackwood sniffled and wiped her eyes. "Are you sure?" she asked. "I thought it was a disaster.""Celeste is a smart and capable woman," Mr. Blackwood said. "She can handle this." He tried to sound confident, but he knew it was a difficult situation....The next day, as Celeste and Leo sat down to dinner, the in-laws were determined to make sure nothing would ruin the meal.

As Fiona soared through the sky on the Pegasus, she couldn't help but feel a twinge of envy. She had long been enamored with Markus , and she had hoped that one day he would see her for the goddess she was. But now, he was spending all his time with that pesky mortal, Celeste.She wondered what he saw in her. Was it her intelligence? Her wit? Or was it simply the fact that she was different from all the other goddesses he had met?As Markus and Fiona flew through the sky, Fiona was unimpressed by the view below them. She had seen many kingdoms in her time, and Leonidas's kingdom was nothing special to her. She was more interested in the drama that was unfolding, and she couldn't wait to see the look on Celeste's face when she and Markus arrived. She wondered if Celeste would be angry, sad, or simply resigned to her fate. Whatever the case, Fiona knew that it would be a moment to savor. As the goddess of chaos, Fiona was indeed a powerful and irresistible force. She could have anyone s

"I will accept you as my husband," she said, her words clipped and sharp."But we have not gone through the proper courtship yet. We must follow the proper steps." Leo's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "You would accept me as your husband?" he asked, his voice trembling slightly. "But..."Celeste felt a twinge of jealousy as she watched Fiona and Leo getting closer. She knew that Fiona was moving on with Leo just to show her up, to prove that she was better than her in every way. And the worst part was, Celeste knew that it was true. Fiona was a literal goddess, and Celeste was just a lowly mortal. No matter what she did, she would never be able to compete with someone like Fiona.Celeste had never felt so alone. Despite being in a relationship with Markus, she felt a distance between them that she couldn't seem to close. He was blooming with powers, growing stronger and more confident every day, while she felt her own vitality slipping away. It was as if they were on different paths, m

Fiona was stunned by his words. She realized that she had been selfish, and that her actions had hurt both Leo and Celeste.The sound of the door slamming echoed through the house. It was followed by the sound of footsteps, fading into the distance.Fiona stood alone, her heart pounding. She couldn't believe what had just happened. She had said something she didn't mean, and now she had lost the person she loved most. How could she have been so stupid?She knew she had to apologize, but it wouldn't be easy. She had to swallow her pride and admit that she was wrong. But would it be enough to win back Leo's trust?...Fiona looked at Celeste, her eyes full of remorse. "I'm so sorry for what I said," she said. "I know that you have a big heart, and that's what drew Markus to you. I was just jealous, and I said things I didn't mean. Please forgive me."Celeste was taken aback by Fiona's apology. She had never seen this side of her before. After a moment's hesitation, she hugged Fiona."Of

She seemed to hold him in contempt, but there was also a hint of something deeper.Her sudden appearance made Markus wonder about her true intentions."Leo is busy caring for the animals," Fiona explained, a hint of annoyance in her voice. "He's been holed up in his study, researching some obscure text on animal husbandry. He says it's important, but I t

"Enough of this nonsense," Fiona snapped, her patience wearing thin. "Tell me the truth. Are you really a troll?"Wyatt's hands trembled, and he took a deep breath. "Yes," he whispered, his voice quivering. "I'm a troll."As the group gathered around the campfire, a tense silence hung in the air. Fiona couldn't shake the feeling that something was off about Wyatt, but she decided to let it go for now. She figured that whatever his secret was, it would come out eventually. For now, they all needed to rest and recover from the long journey.As Wyatt stood by the lake, fishing rod in hand, his thoughts turned to his friends back at the camp. He knew that they were counting on him to catch some fish for dinner, and he wanted to do his best for them.As he cast his line, he couldn't help but reminisce about his first fishing trip with Markus.

It was something that had always haunted him, and now it was threatening to ruin everything he had worked for.He looked at Markus, his eyes filled with fear and uncertainty.As Wyatt and Fiona set off on their journey, it was clear that tension was brewing between them. Fiona's comment about catching up only added to Wyatt's anxiety, and he could feel his stomach churning with worry. But he knew he had to push on, despite his fear and uncertainty.As they rode through the forest, the silence was thick and uncomfortable. Wyatt could sense Fiona's eyes on him, and he could tell that she was still skeptical of him. He tried to ignore it, focusing instead on the road ahead. But the tension in the air was undeniable.Wyatt shut his eyes, trying to block out the sight of the endless sky and the sound of Scales' weary moans. He couldn't help but feel guilty for the burden he was putting on the dragon, but he was even more afraid of the consequences of revealing his secret. So he tried to pu

Chapter 137: A visit from death
Before he could even think about what to do, he heard the pounding of footsteps behind him. He turned around to see a massive, ferocious-looking dragon barreling towards him. It let out a mighty roar, and Carlisle felt the ground shake beneath his feet.Finn was the one who had sold the dragon babies, and he had been motivated by greed. Carlisle, on the other hand, had been scarred by a dragon years ago, and that had shaped his entire life. He was terrified of dragons, and he had devoted himself to keeping them away from people. But now, he was faced with a situation that he couldn't control.The momma dragon let out a deafening roar, and Carlisle could feel the ground tremble beneath his feet. He knew that he had to act fast. But what could he possibly do? He didn't have any weapons, and he was no match for a dragon. All he had was the baby dragon in his hands. It was then that he had an idea. He held the baby dragon out towards the approaching momma dragon, and he began to speak in a
Chapter 136: The mistake
Markus' eyes narrowed, his tone growing more urgent. "But what you've done is much more than a challenge," he said. "You've gone against the very principles of our alliance. We can't have you doing things like this, it could tear us apart!"Finn sighed, his gaze turning distant. "I know it was a risk," he said. "But I couldn't stand by and watch those dragons be harmed. They're just like any other creature, they deserve to be treated with respect and dignity."Markus shook his head. He couldn't argue with that. "You're just making things more complicated. You're looking for an excuse to run off and hide like some hermit!""How dare you say that to me!? After what you've witnessed, you still think I'm trying to run away?""I'm not saying that to insult you," Markus said, his voice growing calmer. "But I have to wonder if you're looking for an escape, rather than a solution. Our alliance was founded on the principle of coexistence, not just hiding away. If we're going to create a better

"...The dragons then were ruthless, not these plush toys"Markus' eyes narrowed, his tone growing more urgent. "But what you've done is much more than a challenge," he said. "You've gone against the very principles of our alliance. We can't have you doing things like this, it could tear us apart!"Finn sighed, his gaze turning distant. "I know it was a risk," he said.

Chapter 134: Dragons and chaos
Markus understood Finn's worries, but he remained hopeful. "If we work together, we can show the people that dragons are more than just fearsome creatures. They are intelligent and majestic beings, deserving of our respect and admiration. With time and effort, we can change the way people see dragons, and make the world a better place for all."In his own words, Finn's conditions were as follows: He would agree to help the alliance, and to bring the dragons together under one banner. In return, the alliance would promise to leave him and the dragons alone once the conflict was over, and to allow them to return to their isolated home. They would have no further demands or expectations of him or the dragons.It was a bold request, but Markus and Elliot could see where he was coming from. They needed to find a way to make this work, or risk losing their best chance at victory.Finn's request was understandable, but it presented a challenge for Markus and Elliot. They needed the dragons to

"I'm not here to cause any trouble," he said, his voice wavering slightly. "I just want to talk to you, to explain what happened. Please, just hear me out."Finn looked skeptical, but after a moment's hesitation, he nodded. "Alright, I'll listen," he said, his tone still gruff. "But you'd better make it quick!""Please, Finn, this is important," Elliott pleaded. "Markus needs your help.""And who the blazes are you?" Finn demanded, his tone sharp. "I don't recall inviting you into my home!"Elliott's cheeks flushed with embarrassment. "I, um, I know Nora, and I know Markus."Finn gave Elliott a long, appraising look. "So you're a friend of George's, eh?" he said, his eyes narrowing. "That doesn't mean I have to listen to you.""Hmph," Finn grumbled, shifting from foot to foot. "I'm listening, but don't expect me to be swayed by a bunch of sob stories."Elliott took a deep breath, and began to speak. "It's true that George, as you knew him, made some mistakes. But he was a good man, onc

'The story of your father is a sad one,' Nora said, her voice tinged with sorrow. 'He was a brave and kind man, but he was a soldier, and he saw much death and destruction in his life. It changed him, and he began to believe that violence was the only way to solve problems. He became angry and bitter, and he could not see any other way to live.'Markus listened intently, his heart heavy with grief. He knew his father had been a good man once, but the years of war had taken their toll. He wished he could have known his father as a child.She paused, as if considering her next words carefully. 'But he did love me. And I believe he loved you, too. He simply could not see beyond his own ambitions. And in the end, those ambitions destroyed him. He used his friends as pawns, and they in turn betrayed him. Revenge and power consumed him, and he was lost to the darkness.'Nora's eyes were bright with unshed tears. 'But you, my dear, you have a choice. You can choose a different path, a better

"Hey, slow down!" Markus called out to Elliot as he raced toward him. "I'm not going anywhere without you. And I can't have you tripping and falling on your face in your rush to catch up!" He smirked and shook his head.Elliot skidded to a halt and tried to catch his breath. "I heard you were going to look for the dragon tamer. I want to come along!"Markus nodded, already in motion again. "Of course you can come, but you'll have to keep up. And we'll need to be quiet when we find the dragon tamer."Just then, they heard a familiar voice from behind them. "Yoo hoo! Markus?"Markus sighed and turned to see his mother approaching, carrying a pack on her back and her son in her arms. Scales let out a soft purr as they drew near."Mother, thank you for coming with.""You're welcome, my dear," Nora said, her voice gentle. "And you know I could never pass up an adventure like this! Plus, I have some history with the dragon tamer myself. I can't wait to see how he's changed over the years."

One after another, they asked her questions, their voices growing louder and more desperate with each query."When am I going to get my big break!?""What number combination can I use for the lottery?""Is my job at the market worth it?""Why is my business stagnant?""Your big break will come when you least expect it," Eloise replied calmly, her words soothing the anxious crowd.
