The man in front of Darun was dressed in a white robe that barely covered his chest as he sat firmly on the ground, and even though his face was mostly obscured in the darkness, the small tinge of light reflecting from the inside of the house on his body, was enough for Darun to admire the deeply outlined muscles on his arms and chests, which was a big contrast to Darin’s body regardless of how often he exercised.“Come here…” Darun heard the young man in front of him order as he continued to beckon towards him with his left hand.Darun stood there without moving a single muscle almost as if he was frozen in place.“I’m only here to enquire if you could share some of your food with me,” Darun said, not taking even a single step closer to the man in front of him.The only reason he still continued to stay was simply because the young man in front of him, seemed a little tipsy which meant that the distinct wolf smell on his body would most likely be the last thing he would notice.“Food?
KALENIdentifying Hurai’s quarters wasn’t difficult in any way.With one of his two unique abilities called “Charm” doing such a thing and more was as easy as giving candy to a child.Kal smoothly snuck out of his quarters past the guards that had been placed there to watch him. After a while of silently staring up at Hurai’s quarters, like a blur in the wind, he dashed up and dived in.He had just landed in the brightly lit room, and had just straightened up to look around when his eyes met those of the person standing in front of him.“Hurai,” Kal said with a gentle smile, while looking around at every corner of the room to make sure that they were alone.“Kal,” Hurai whispered back with a shocked expression on her face, which she quickly covered up with a look of annoyance.“I would expect a prince to know better than to jump into a princess’ room at midnight. Or maybe you’ve spent too much time in the forest pretending to be commoner, you’ve forgotten your roots,” Hurai said, pulli
Still, at that moment she did as she was told, not wanting to wait longer for the knocks on her door to increase even more in both intensity and volume.Forcing a small smile onto her face, Hurai opened her mouth to speak.“Then, I wish you a good night, Prince Kal,” Hurai said, as quickly as she could, her eyes communicating for him to leave as quickly as she could in every way she knew how.Kal was tempted to continue to stay and even ask her to call him “Friend Kal” but seeing the expression on Hurai’s face Kal knew when not to push, especially since she looked like she was about to explode and yell at him to get out, damning every consequence that came with it.“Goodnight, Friend Hurai,” Kal said with an even bigger smile on his face before he turned, ran forward, and jumped out the window without hesistating for even a second.The moment Hurai saw that Kal was gone, not at all caring whether or not he landed safely on the ground and somewhat hoping he didn’t, even if she knew the
Chief Horansi(King of the Lunera Kingdom)“Knight Sitanfi at your service,” he said right before his knee hit the ground.“The preparations for the contest are almost done. In two days everything should be ready in time for the match,” Sitanfi said decked in black from head to toe, kneeling on one knee in front of King Horansi.His entire face was covered, leaving just enough space for his eyes and nose, in a way that his sight wouldn’t be impeded in any way.“Your other instructions about the area around the arena as also been followed. I have arranged for enough silver weapons to be made. Almost all the knights have also been contracted to be on sight,” he continued to say, not at all betraying the thoughts in his mind, as he knelt in front of the king, giving his report.The preparations that were being made were more than enough to escalate into a full-blown war, if things went south, especially since the winner of the match would decide who gets to have the Forest between both kin
He reached forward to grab his shirt which was on the right side of Geran’s still sleeping body and was just leaning away with it in his hands when he saw Geran’s eyes flutter open.The slight confusion in his eyes was obvious as he looked at Darun, looked around, and at himself before his eyes finally settled back on Darun.He slowly opened his mouth, about to speak when Darun beat him to it.“We’ll never speak of this ever again. We were drunk and nothing happened,” Darun said speaking clearly and as confidently as he could as he looked at Geran’s eyes which he could clearly see were still fixed on his exposed chest.On his chest were tiny bite marks. His neck was covered in it. Some were too tiny to be properly seen, while others were big and glaring.“I wouldn’t call that nothing,” Geran replied plopping himself up using his left elbow, not at all caring about his own half-naked state.“The ones on my body are even more than the ones I gave you,” Geran spoke, not at all hiding the
Two days later( The day of the match)A huge portion of the forest had been cleared and built into a big arena made of wood, where spectators could sit around it, while watching whatever events that took place in it.By noon, which was the agreed-upon time, most of the citizens of Lunera had arrived dressed in colorful clothes and well-made dresses. The only thing was that regardless of the clothes they wore, from the way each of them carried themselves, anyone that looked a little closer would realize that they each had a military air to them.They weren’t the only ones.Everyone from Blodinek also had red eyes, dressed in colorful clothes, but the animosity streaming from them in waves could be seen miles away. It didn’t help that each of them also looked like a capable fighter.Instead of actually bringing citizens to watch the match in a peaceful manner, while hoping for a great end, both kingdoms had the same idea and brought soldiers both male and female, masquerading as citizens
“You cold-blooded creature. YOU MOVE. It's not my fault if you don’t want to stand beside me. How the hell am I to stand in front of my target if I move any further than this,” The werewolf responded in a loud and irritating tone, glaring daggers at the vampire beside him who, irrespective of his complaint, continued to stand close to him.“Who did you call a cold-blooded creature?” yelled another vampire from the side.“Who the hell did you call a stinky werewolf?” another werewolf called out from the side as he too left his starting place.Each of them held a bow in their hands, and even without the arrow it was enough for a big fight to start. However, that couldn’t be allowed. They were the contestants, if a fight broke out before the match even started then it would defeat the purpose of why they were all there in the first instance.Before the fight could escalate any further, a general from each side stepped forward.Without being told, each side backed off and behind their gene
The moment both kings agreed, the order was given and passed down the arena.ONE MATCH. All others were canceled.The only matter left for both sides to conclude on was their sole contestants on whom the future of their kingdom would depend on.King Locan didn’t hesitate and instantly called out Prince Kal his son, shocking both sides of the audience into shock.The moment the one-match information got around, almost everyone in the arena had been expecting their respective side to bring out their most powerful Knight, probably the ones closest to the king, but instead, the Vampires got Kal, whose prowess on the battlefield was still unknown.“He’s ready for war,” was all Horansi could think of when he watched King Locan call out his son with a completely confident expression on his face.Still, King Horansi didn’t care…he went ahead and called out his best knight- Sir Mallum, amidst cheers from his people.“Wish me luck…” Kal said the second he jumped to his feet with a proud smile on
