“ Oh my God, see how beautiful you look in this wedding gown. I can't believe my sweetheart is getting married” Lilliana Rowland said as she cleaned the lone tears that dropped from her eyes.“Mom, stop getting emotional. You know Clara will start crying if you don't stop and this will waste our precious time. I can't afford to wait another hour for the makeup artist to redo her face makeup just because it is spoiled by tears.” Lilly cautioned her mother. She knew how much she treasured Clara, but she didn't want them to start the reggae of their stories.Clara was like an aunt to her and she could not trade her for anything. Lilliana picked her up from the street, she was homeless and she refused to stay in an orphanage because she valued her freedom.She had worked at a club bar as a server and a waiter at a cafe. Lilliana met her at one of the cafes where she worked as a cleaner. She mistakenly hit one of the customers with a mop and the aggressive customer didn't wait to give her
Brimming with excitement, Lucas moved closer to Lilly and drew her for another deep kiss. He was imagining her look in a wedding gown and when he would finally call her his. Everyone present applauded him and they wowed at their public display of affection. Some minutes later, the clapping and laughter died down but there was a distinct and deep clap that echoed through the hall.A young handsome man dressed in a black tuxedo matched into the hall majestically. He didn't care about the plenty pairs of eyes that gazed at him, he kept on clapping until he got to where Lucas stood with his fiancee.Although everyone was surprised at the sudden downpour, they had turned their attention to the strange man that nonchalantly walked into the wedding hall.“ Who is he? I cannot put a name to that face, because he doesn't look familiar “ Justin whispered to his wife.“ I think he is related to Lucas, he is focused on him and my daughter. He doesn't look dangerous, so there is no cause for alar
“Yeah, the task at hand determines the special monitoring. A day-old dragon egg is not a child's play. It also takes a whole day before we can reach the cave, so we won't be sleeping in this temple most of the night.” Asher explainedLucas listened with keen interest, he eyed Albert to warn him against interrupting the twins.“ One more interruption from you, I will teach you the lesson you will never forget in your life. From now on, you are allowed to speak only when you are asked any question.” He pointed a warning finger at Albert.“ I apologize on his behalf, it won't happen again. Albert please, stop complicating matters with your interruption, can you just listen without any complaint?” Alex said tiredly.After the dialogue, they all went to bed. During the midnight, Lucas woke up with a startle, but he didn't disturb other people. He tiptoed outside the room and he went to sit under the tree that was opposite the temple.“ You are a man of light, what are you doing alone in t
“ I want all of you to stand behind me, this creature won't spare anybody if care is not taken” Lucas instructedThe twins and the two brothers immediately rushed to queue behind Lucas. Albert closed his eyes and he held Alex's cloth for support. “ Calm down, buddy. Lucas is here to protect us, just have trust in him” Alex tried to calm his brother who was jiltering behind him.Lucas stretched his two hands to his sides, then he started chanting some incantations while closing his eyes. After some minutes, he opened his eyes abruptly when he felt the presence of the creature before him.The creature was faintly visible to only Lucas. It was a beautiful woman with a fierce look on her face. Her head down to her waist was human while the rest of her body took the shape of a fish. Water started coming out of Lucas's hand to show the woman he was also a descendant of water.“ Beautiful goddess, why are you blocking my ways? I'm also a child of the water source, why are you directing your
“ Thanks so much for hosting us, especially the glorious entertainment you gave us, we really appreciate everything. We will take our leave now?” Lucas said to Selena.They woke up early and they assembled in front of the goddess’ mansion to bid her farewell.“ I'm equally honored to host the great warlock of our time. May you never encounter any difficulties as you proceed with your journey. Your Highness, please don't forget the warnings. I will be highly honored to see Lilly when it's time. Just tell any goddess you visit to summon me, I will appear to grace the occasion instantly” Selena said and she bowed.A maiden led them to the entrance of the mansion, she stopped at a spot where clouds were rolling. She clapped thrice and a narrow passage appeared between the clouds, then she turned to Lucas and his men.“ This is where I will leave, your Highness. Enter this passage, then you will be taken to your destination.” The maiden said, then she went back to the mansion.“ Here we go
“ I want you to be my master and I want you to summon me when it's time for the real war. I have something to settle with Jeffrey” The dragon said.“ What business did you have with my father?” Albert weakly asked from the ground. The dragon attack on him had rendered him weak,so he could not shout.“ It's not in your position to know. I had a deal with your father, not you. I smelled him in your blood immediately when you attempted to pick up my egg, and this raised the anger in me. You would have been dead if not for the warlock's intervention. You are not going to follow his steps, so that saves you from my wrath.” The dragon yelled “ What if I don't agree with your condition?” Lucas asked tactically“ You will leave here with no eggs and you will never set your eyes on your father again” The dragon said.At the mention of Lucas's father, Alex clutched his head in pain when a loud bang sounded in his head.Lucas rushed to his side, “ Are you okay? Do you need to take a rest?” He a
Lucas looked at Alex and Albert for answers, “ I thought you have mapped out a plan on how she would enter Lucifer's house, why aren't you saying anything” he said “ Alex is the one forbidden to enter Lucifer's house, I am not yet forbidden. So I planned to gather the bodyguards for a drink tonight that I'm celebrating being the only successor of Robinson corporation. Alex had called Alfred, the butler that he wanted to discuss something important with him outside Lucifer's house. When we have already cleared the road, Elena would enter the house without any obstacles. Her job is to figure out how to find the magic mirror.” Albert explained their plans.Elena smiled as she heard the brilliant idea, then she rushed inside to change her outfit.“ I know you are still angry, but don't forget the dragon's warning, you must forgive her. I have experienced the portion of the pain that comes along with loving someone, it's now your turn to feel the pain.” Lucas warned Alex.“ I believe ther
Elena became terrified, she started shivering with fears. She couldn't scream or shout, because that would attract the people outside the mansion. Moreover, she was warned not to say anything because of the dragon's egg in her mouth. She muffled her sobs, then she started walking backwards, until her back hit a cold iron door. The iron door opened abruptly and she fell into another room.The room was dim with red light. There are many artifacts hanging around the four walls of the room. She stepped forward to check the room further until she hit a hard object on the floor. Someone yelled out in pain and the force made her fall.“ Ouch! Can't you watch your steps? Do you want to break my legs?” The person uttered furiously.Elena turned to her right side,then he saw a haggard looking old man in shackles. He had gray hair on his head, with hair covering ninety percent of his face. The cloth he put on was torn and there were traces of lashes on his body. His hands and legs were stretch
