***~~Amara~~***A cold chill swept through my spine as I turned, my gaze falling on him. He was now clothed in a black robe, his hair wet and disheveled. He held a towel in his left hand and stood against the fireplace. The glow of the flames illuminated his body, making his chest and abdomen glint like some sculpted golden figure. I swallowed.“You are one tiring person, you moon goddess reborn,” he said as he moved away from the fireplace and helped himself to one of the cushions. “First you create a commotion by kidnapping a wolf, now you create another by trying to leave. Do you so desperately crave attention?”I jerked slightly and frowned. “Your Majesty, if what you mean by attention is you saving me from Lan, I'd like to remind you that i in no way persuaded you.”His voice rounded the room as he laughed, “Is this how you thank the man that saved you?'I clasped my palms together, “Well, Your Majesty. My mother once told me the thin line between gratitude and servitude can

***~~Amara~~***"Y.... Y... Your Majesty," Lan stammered like a fool as he bowed to Tirion. Tirion sighed, ignoring Lan as he moved away from him and walked to me.His face was expressionless, eyes stone cold as he peered at me. I squint my eyes, trying to read what could be going through that small head of his, but I couldn't.Was he angry? Furious? Livid? or was he happy? Sad? Remorseful? Why was he here? What could be the reason that made him come here? My brain spined as the barrage of questions swarm in my thoughts.It was always a puzzle when it came to him.He turned away from me and sighed."Do you mind telling me, Lan." He voiced, "Why you have a maiden of the palace strapped on a stretcher like a street dog?"Lan shuddered, clearing his throat as he forced up a smile, "Well, it is not what you think, your Majesty. You see, she was cast with a spell by a slave of the dark one. I just wanted to help."Tirion raised a brow, "And by help, you mean strapping her on a torture c

***~~Amara~~***“I said don’t move,” she repeated, her voice low and icy as she pressed the blade firmly on my throat, “One twitch and I will drag this blade across your neck."A cold air swept through my skin as I swallowed, my eyes locked with hers as I asked, “What do you want?”"What I want?" She tilted her head, "I want you."My heart dropped."Me?" "Yes, You." She said , tracing the blade down my collarbone, "You killed my colleagues, it is only right I give them the closure they deserve."I flinched as she slit the blade through my skin, "Is that what you tell yourself, Lilith?"She paused."Is that how you make it easier for you," I hissed through clenched teeth, "You killed your colleagues not me. Their blood is on you.""No!" She barked, eyes blazing with fury as she slammed her fist beside me, "You are the reason they died. If you had not called my name, I wouldn't have a reason to kill them.""But you did, Lilith!" I yelled back, "You did. You had a choice and you made

***~~Amara~~***"Preposterous!" Begritta's voice rang across the hall, "First, you create a distraction, cohort with slaves of the dark one to steal the orb and now you challenge the authority of the mother superior?"She turned to Queen Nianieve, "If this is not treason Mother, I don't know what else is. I strongly suggest that we give her the death sentence!""It has not gotten to that, Begritta." Vera grunted."Oh, yes it has Vera!" Begritta loomed, "Do you forget that she is the reason the king almost sent me to an early grave. Have you forgotten that she is from Falme, a community of betrayers and oath breakers?"A silent rage seeped through me as she said the last sentence."The first moon goddess's daughter almost had the dark one released," She continued, "how are we sure that history is not repeating itself?"Vera clicked her tongue irritably, "The orb is missing, there is a high chance that the dark one is being released as we speak and you want to kill the moon goddess re

***~~Amara~~***How can you kill someone in the most torturous and painful way possible? Gut him with a knife? No, too easy.Throw him in a pot of boiling oil?Hmm, fair enough.Break his kneecaps, toss him to some wild beasts and watch in relish as they shread and scrap his bones to pieces? Well, Maybe."There are one thousand ways to die, Lan," I groaned, anger brewing inside me as I stared at him with churning rage, "But you choose one."He grinned, "And what way could that be, dearest?"I clenched my fists, fury seething inside me as I said, "Dieing by my hands."He chuckled, "I would like to see you try."Flash! I charged at him, spreading my arms as weaves of lights seeped out me, morphing into a blade, aiming at him when—He brings out an orb, squeezing his fingers around it and Morgana's wolf shrieks violently."If you come any closer towards me, dearest moon goddess reborn. I assure you she will not be the only wolf screaming in pain."I looked back at Morgana's wolf, stil

***~~Amara~~***Daughter?I muttered to myself as I watched mother cheer happily with Lilith.She called Lilith, daughter?I stood rooted to the ground, barely able to decipher what was playing in front of me.Why would mother refer to Lilith as daughter? And what was Lilith doing here? In my house? In my clothes?And Lilith. She looked like she was comfortable here, Like she had lived here forever.I watched as mother chatted gayly with Lilith—happy, both of them not even seeming to know that I was standing in the room.My stomach churned with rage as I stepped forward, stretching my hand to touch mother but as soon as my hands landed on her, it went through her.What the hell?I did it again, same thing.And just when I try to reach out to her for the third time,a huge gust of wind swept around me pushing me out of the room."Mother!"I screamed, stretching my hands towards her as the wind pushed me further,Further,And further,Until I vanished. Falling through a dark void, landi
