Blood and Darkness Chapter 33: Lucia's Summoning
"Honestly, reading is not my hobby at all, Ophelia. So I only remember vague details about it. Plus the writer wrote it in riddles that made it more difficult to understand for me.""Riddles? What kind of riddles? Do you remember any of it?"She shook her head. "I'm sorry. I only remember one and I don't know if it could even help.""Let's just try. Maybe it could help," I said. At critical times like this, you should see hope in everything for you to see solution. Because if you go negative and full of doubts all the way, you would not solve anything."Under the full blood moon, the wind gushed softly in the middle of dawn. Cries in the forest echoed and the man in the boat kissed the shadows of dark souls..." Lucia stated the riddle she remembered.I contemplated in silence."I don't know what is the meaning behind that at all. No matter how I try, I just couldn't understand," Lucia said frustratedly."Wait... the wind gushed softly in the middle of dawn... cries in the forest... th
Blood and Darkness Chapter 34: The Fire's Foe
The moment I stepped onto the blazing pool of flames, I didn't feel any heat. I only felt warm as though I was traveling in the middle of the winter and it was one of the few times I stop by to warm myself up. It didn't hurt me at all. In fact, it even comforts me at some point."Woah."I opened my eyes at once and turned at my back to see if I failed and got Lucia and Orion hurt. I was relieved when I saw them totally fine."You didn't get hurt at all?" I asked to make sure. I don't want them to be hurt in any way because of me."No," Lucia shook her head at the same time Orion did.Then my eyes drifted to Raja. He was just a couple of yards away, looking at the surrounding in a defensive stance as if he is expecting an unexpected attack from somewhere.I turned to look at my surrounding. Contrary to its name, River of Flames is nothing like a river. It is a cave, a huge stone cave. Only that, all the things you can see around are on fire, blazing, glowing red. And the path in the mi
Blood and Darkness Chapter 35: Not Burned
"Why weren't you burned by the pool of lava?" I asked Lancelot."I think it's because you want to protect the people around you. You went here with a friend, right? You were shielding them from the fire, so that is why when you fell onto the pool of lava at the same time I was awaken, you also unconsciously shielded me, that was why I wasn't hurt.""Did you mean you were sleeping down that blazing lava?""Yes, I was. But I was froze inside a huge ice that was made the witch who cursed me. She was very powerful that was why the ice where she caged me protected me from being melted by the lava."I nodded. "I understand.""May I know your name?" He asked carefully as if he was being careful not to annoy me in any way."Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Ophelia, Lancelot. Thank you for saving me."He shook his head with a warm smile plastered on his lips. "No, Ophelia. It wasn't me who saved you. In fact, it was your presence who awaken me. You saved me from the curse. You
Blood and Darkness Chapter 36: Death Didn't Come
"Yes, but as you see, just a little trick I made and I got so weak." She smiled bitterly."You are still young, Lucia. There are so much rooms for you to grow. You are a princess by birth and I know that just like your ancestors, you would be a great summoner, too.""I hope so, Ophelia. I really hope."I was about to speak when all of the sudden, the ground went shaking. My eyes widened and I was about to hold Lucia when a huge crack of the ground went in between us, it grew larger by the moment, and showed a large mass of burning lava."Lucia!" I shouted in horror because we were at the opposite sides and there was a huge drift between us that would surely melt anything or anyone if one would fell to it.I turned to see if Raja was still at my back but what I saw was the red smoke going to my necklace."What happened, Raja? Are you all right?"'I am fine, my lady. But there is something in this place that forced me to go back to the necklace. It is forbidding you to summon me. I supp
Blood and Darkness Chapter 37: Hiding in Shadows
Even if I will soon have to marry Lancelot, I don't think I can ever love him the same way as how I love Demitri. It would be unfair to him, but Lancelot would also be unfair to me right? Even though he doesn't know that he is just being fooled, I would still know that the real me isn't the one he is in love with. We will be unfair to each other, so I guess that is just fair.Lancelot was indeed right. It didn't take long before he had killed the two tigers. He just sliced their heads up with a sharp metal he made out of stone and it was done. Plus the fact that the monsters were really slow compared to the fast Lancelot. Now I understood why he was very confident earlier. He indeed knows his capability as a fighter."Phew!" Lancelor smiled at me."You know, all I can say is, that was effortless. Maybe because you were frozen under the pool of lava for decades that is why you are that strong and fast?""Maybe. But I was really fast and strong even before I slept for decades," he said
Blood and Darkness Chapter 38: Nerissa's Pets
My eyes were all alert as we moved deeper to the cave. I haven't seen Lucia nor Orion yet and I'm pretty worried of what they have been going through at the moment. I was the reason why they are here that is why if ever something bad happens to them, I can't forgive myself. They are very good people who truly treated me like a friend despite us knowing each other for barely a few days. I know it sounds crazy but I can really feel that connection pulling us together. I don't know why I feel that way but maybe because they are somehow connected with the mystery behind my identity?If that is the case, the more I should not let anything happen to them. If they are the way to my father, to the truth of my existence, I should grab the opportunity. Though aside from that motive, I am truly worried about them because I already treated them as my true friends. They are like the princes in Solterra. The bond between them reminds me of the bond between Demitri, Prince David, Prince Martin and P
Blood and Darkness Chapter 39: Vile and Lethal
"This one looks a lot stronger than earlier," I said to Lancelot."You had fought with monsters?" Lucia whispered."Yes tigers that has two heads and snakes as it tails. Lancelot killed them all in no time, though. But I don't think this monsters guarding Nerissa's den are as weak as them. If they are her main guards, then that means they really are strong.""What about this," Lancelot suggested. "I will fight with the monsters to distract them then you two will go inside and find your another friend?""Do you want to kill yourself? There are three of them, plus they look really strong," Lucia said to Orion."Yes," I agree. "As what I had said, they don't look as weak as the ones you fought with earlier so it might be difficult for you to defeat them. Are you sure you can do it?""Trust me, I would be fine. But if you are still doubting, then if I can't do it, at least I would buy you enough time to get in?" He smirked."But one more thing, as far as I know, Nerissa is so strong. Do y
Blood and Darkness Chapter 40: Make You Slaves
"Well..." Nerissa only laughed. Even her laugh was not evil-like, it was as soft and sweet as her voice. I wonder why she had to through to the extent of luring men and killing them back when she was a living witch? But I guess that is too much to ask, and why would it be my business, anyway? It has nothing to do with me, so all I should think of is how we can finish this as soon as possible so we can get out of this place at once. I hate all the monsters and I hope I won't see another kind of monster again. Fighting with monsters is time consuming and worthless so if I only have a choice, I won't fight with them. I just really hopes that Lancelot is skilled and strong enough to fight those strong monsters outside."You are wrong, I'm not a princess. She is the only the princess between us," I said and glanced at Lucia.Nerissa raised a brow, the corner of her lips rose slightly, evilly. It was like there was something in her mind that she chose not to say. I can't figure out what it
