Alastair braced himself as Lilith hurled at him, slashing his face with her long claws. Her smiles were always deceptive, anyone who saw her smile whenever she possessed a human would probably fall to her charms. He did, a long time agoAs she came at him again, he quickly ducked and dodged the attack she sent his way. She yelled as he did like she was expecting him to fall prey to her attack. She came at him again but that time, he was not fast enough. The claw ripped through his arm and he groaned. But then, he caught her hand, twisted it, and kicked her in the guts. She cried out as he did and pushed him to the ground, falling on top of him."You should have told me what I wanted to hear. Then, you wouldn't be going through this!" She spat at him and punched him repeatedly in the face, snarling as she did. But grabbed her tail and squeezed it. She screamed as he did."You should not have lied Lilith. How did you come here? How did you gain access to the mortal realm?"He asked but
The pain. That was the last thing I remembered. My head was blank after that. Hela, myself and the mages I had managed to convince not to follow my brother anymore had been heading to the palace. Something had smacked my head and knocked me out.But what was it? Who did it?My subconscious mind continued to question itself when I felt like I was being drawn into a dream. The feeling was calm and inviting, and unlike other dreams, I have had in the past, the feeling was different.But I followed it.I suddenly found myself inside the palace. But it was not the palace I could remember at that point. It was from a time, about sixteen years ago. I still remembered because I helped set up the designs.What was I doing there? How was I even there?"Hello?"I called out but no one answered. No one was home. I was all alone and that began to freak me out. Imagine being the only person inside a large palace. It was not a nice feeling"Anyone here?"I called out again but yet, but I was met wi
The mind link was completed and it did not feel like anything Miranda was expecting. She was still inside her body, but she was one step behind Alastair. He was almost in total control over her. They slowly opened their eyes in the palace and unknown to them, their eyes had turned cloudy white, like someone in a trance. Kevin arched a brow when he saw his sister sitting up like some zombie and when he saw her eyes, he proceeded to try and shake her back to reality. But it wasn't working."Kevin, stop. It's me, it's still me." They spoke, and in their voice, Kevin could hear Miranda. It had been a long time since he heard Alastair speak and so, he could not recognize the voice anymore."Miranda, what is going on? You seem...""Possessed? That's because I am, Kevin. Alastair is inside me right now." They said and Kevin scoffed."Alastair? How? It's not possible.""It's possible, my boy."The king suddenly said out loud and both of them looked at him. He raised his hands weakly and they
"Ahh!""Hela screamed as the horse came to a stop. Tears fell from the sides of her face and when Miranda approached her, grabbing her by the arm, she sobbed."Kevin, help me!"Miranda called out to Kevin who quickly unmounted his horse and grabbed Hela, bringing her down from the horse. They helped her sit but she still kept on crying.And she was losing so much blood."This is bad. Really bad."Kevin said as he checked the Dept of the wound. He was no healer but he wasn't blind as well."We need to get her to a healer. We do not know how far the wound goes. And she is losing so much blood." Miranda said to Kevin."Yeah. But question is, where do we get a healer? We are still at least thirty minutes away from the capital and not to mention, we probably have other sorcerers looking for us right now. The best place she can get the treatment she needs is the Keep." Kevin replied."But the keep is too far away. She might not make it. We have to look for other alternatives." Miranda ment
"They found us."Kevin added as he armed himself with a lot of Elle's knives. Hela was standing up by then and so was Elle."How many?" Miranda asked Kevin."About a dozen. Sorcerers and Mages alike." He replied."We are completely outnumbered." Hela said to them"And outmatched," Elle added."Is there another way out of your house?" Miranda asked Elle but she sighed."There is only one and it is through that door." She said, pointing to the main door. "That means we have to fight then. Our main priority right now is getting Miranda to safety. She is the future Queen if not the Queen of this kingdom and she needs us right now. So we will escape and think of a place to go." Kevin said and the others nodded."We cannot go to the keep. That's out of the question." Miranda told them"What about Lord Henry? Their manor is very much reachable from here. We can take you there. He would be delighted to host you." Kevin said and Miranda shot him a look.But she had no choice. That was their b
Cara slowly opened her eyes as the waves from the river washed up on her. She groaned, her head banging severely as she tried to adjust her eyes to the rising morning sun.The sun itself was not friendly for the first thing she saw was the round yellow globe sending a bright directly into her eyes. She squinched her eyes, breathed shakily, and tried to get up.But her entire body arched.It felt like she had been beaten. She tried to move her leg but she received intense muscle aches which made her cry out. What the hell happened with her? She wondered. She could hear ravens cawing from a distance and the river bank she was washed up on was mostly empty, save for a few things here and there that littered everywhere.She managed to stand up and looked across the river. She knew she was no longer in Brheila. Everything had changed. She realized she needed to go back as soon as she could. What was the last thing she remembered? She wondered.Nothing came to her at first, so she took her
"We cannot let her stay here."Cara heard someone say from the background. She was beginning to wake up and the first thing her body noticed is that she was resting her head on a pillow. She mumbled as she opened her eyes, groaning from the terrible pain in her head that nearly killed her."Are you alright?"Someone asked her and she sighed. She took a closer look at the face of the person that was speaking with her. And her stomach had butterflies when she saw his face.He was a bit older than she was, with full hair and brown eyes. He had a well-shaved beard and a striking jawline to follow. She found herself going breathless at the sight of him. He was so good-looking!"Are you alright?" He asked again and she slowly nodded. She tried to sit up but her head was killing her. She groaned as she grabbed her head. But then, he quickly grabbed her and helped her lay back down."Kay?" He called to a girl Cara saw standing by the side of the fairly large room they were in.She gazed at C
*Few days before meeting Alastair*Cara watched as the man she was targeting made a pass toward a tavern. There weren't a lot of people outside at that time. She crunched behind the large empty barrels and observed the man go inside. He was rich and she knew that fact. She needed t steal from him, or like she always says 'pick his pocket.'She did not consider herself a thief, at least not a real one. So when the man had gone inside, she slowly stepped out of her hiding place and proceeded to go in. A cart filled with wine suddenly pulled up before her and she had to jerk back to avoid getting hit."Watch where you're going, boy!" The Rider spat.She scoffed right at his face and walked into the tavern. She dressed like a boy. It was her trademark.There was a large man at the door who would have refused her access but luckily for her, he turned away for a moment and she quickly dashed inside. She was able to locate the man she wanted to steal from. He was gambling at a table and they
