NOAHEverything seemed to go back to normal after he managed to control his instincts after such an intense period of heat. I've been getting back to my routine, but that strange dream won't get out of my head. A pregnancy, and the ring she told me not to wear. It's been hammering all the time, I tried to tell Duric, and he told me to be on the lookout for the ring. As I do my training, I think about everything that happened, the dream, and what might happen in my future. I feel someone grab my shoulders, squeezing them lightly.— What's it? Are you still thinking about that dream? — I turn to face his face.— I can't forget it overnight! — he looks at me attentively, takes his face to my face and caresses it, before I say anything, we are interrupted.— Noah, Noah, Duric said to let you know he needs to talk to you! — Yan says as he approaches the two of us.— Okay, I'll see him! — I answer, he nods and walks away, turning to the others.[...]When I arrive at Duric's house, I look a
NOAHBalck gives me a lost look, I quickly snuff out the candles he holds. I close the door, and pull Noah's brother's arm so that we stand in the corner near the door to the relic room, so that as soon as someone opens it, we won't be seen, as we will be behind the door. By the noise the great door of the throne room opened, and I hear a very familiar voice.— So what do you have to say to me? Did you find Killian? — my father's voice is present in that environment.— Not yet, Your Majesty! But I discovered something very strange...— What?— As soon as we discovered the place he uses for the meditation period, I sent some soldiers to investigate, they found the small castle overturned, there was nothing and no one there...— But he must have used another place for meditation!— I don't know, what I do know is that Killian is missing, the soldiers haven't found any trace of where he ended up, and that's very strange.— It's not enough that I have to accept this heir of Moriam, my go
NOAHDagma speaks to me, for her anyone who approaches me when I am carrying her is an enemy. That's what happened when Balck tried to touch me. I drop the sword on the ground, I run to him, I help him up, he's scared of me.— Sorry Balck, I didn't mean to hurt you, it was the sword, it has powers or something, I'm not sure...— All right...Andrew approaches with a startled look, then stops at the sword that continues to glow brightly.— Noah, since Diric gave you that sword, has anything like this happened before?— No, it's the first time I've seen her like this!Dagma glows even brighter in the middle of the darkened forest. Despite everything, the fear of being caught in that palace, I know that everything is fine now. She belongs to me now. I move away from Balck slowly, I reach down to pick up Dagma, I grip her with my right hand, she is light as a feather.I start to smile frantically. I feel her energy again throughout my body. She's completely with me now, it's like she's be
BALCK— I wouldn't forgive myself if something happened to you either, Yan! — I hold your hand, bite my lip, and courage comes. — I think that... that... that I like you!— What are you saying to me? he asks, and I can feel his voice breaking as he speaks.— I'm not saying, I'm stating, I like you, it's not as a friend. But if you want to get away from me because of that, I'll understand!My heart beats desperately when his hands touch my face lightly, caressing it gently. He brings his face close to mine, I see my reflection in his eyes, and this closeness makes me very nervous. I bite my lip hoping to feel his touching mine, and to my delight, his lips brush mine lightly. I close my eyes and intensify our kiss, my lips suck his, I feel his tongue invading my mouth.Tasting his lips for the first time is the best feeling in the world, the way he tastes mine is even better. His arms wrap around my neck, I thread my fingers through his hair, and his tongue teases inside my mouth. Somet
BALCK— What?— I want you to come live with me! — that request really surprised me.— Live with you? Like this?— It's a fact that we're in love, and we know that living here in the territory doesn't have much guarantee of survival, one day we're here, and the next we're wounded in battle, and I don't need to say the rest, you know what I'm talking about!— I know, but you took me by surprise, I didn't expect you to ask me to move in with you. I understand very well what you said, but...— I know, we're going too fast for you, aren't we? — he asks and I nod my head, he kisses my hands and continues. — Okay, we can wait a little longer until you're sure, or feel more comfortable.— Yan, don't get me wrong, but even with all the problems we can have living in rebel territory, I wouldn't want to skip steps, all right? Please don't be upset, I...Before I finish my sentence, Yan places his lips on mine, not giving me a chance to speak. His lips are extremely soft. A tender, soft kiss. My
NOAH— That barrier Killian created to protect the territory? — he asks and I nod my head in confirmation. — How did it happen? Did Killian show up?— No, I was the one who got it...— What? How did you get? Was it the ring?— No, I used the sword! — Hearing my answer, he looks more astonished than before.— Tell that story, because when I left here I don't remember any of that, so...— Actually, it was after you arrived from Yan's house...— Like? Explain this to me!FLASHBACK ON Lying in bed I remember everything we went through that night, how much I risked myself for Dagma's sake. I know it was crazy, but it was what my heart was telling me to do at that moment. I feel an uneasiness in my chest, in my mind, as if something is calling me. I get up, look to my side, Andrew is sleeping peacefully, in front of me I see Dagma standing, leaning against the corner of the wall. I walk towards her which reflects the shine of her diamond, something that catches my attention. I approach, my
NOAHDagma glows brightly, and I know I need to open it. Even though I don't know what awaits me, I inexplicably feel safe in that moment. Gradually, it lights up in a dim, slightly yellowish light, like that of a candle. I stare at her, not understanding what is happening, the sense of calm intensifies now, I feel calm all of a sudden, almost like the way I felt when I was transported back in time and saw everything that happened to my adoptive and biological parents. .I open the door. I look up slowly and startle, nearly knocking the vase over behind me as I stare into the face of King Moriam, that is, my father, or his ghost. He's here, his same messy black hair, his beautiful blue eyes, looking at me fondly. He doesn't say anything, just smiles at me, waves his index finger, behind him is another runner. I continue to look at him, who turns his back, and goes down this new corridor, while I stay there, trapped in the same place.He nods, and smiles showing me the way, so I follow
NOAH— Then why would Direl be holding Killian captive?” Could he be planning something against the King? — I ask, Duric and Andrew stare at me, their gazes at me seem thoughtful.— It's a great question, and I think we should better think of it as something that could happen, or has already happened! — Duric exclaims.— You know, I once heard some stories about Direl back at the palace...— What did you hear? — I ask. — What did he do?— That he was Killian's apprentice, and became corrupted because he wanted to use magic for his own good…— That's true! — Duric confirms. — Direl became corrupted and Moriam threw him out of the palace at Killian's request, and after Alexander was crowned, he became the King's Wizard and advisor.— I didn't know that part of the story, but thinking about what I questioned, what could be his motive for rebelling against Alexander?— Very easy, if Direl got tired of being Killian's apprentice, wouldn't she get tired of being my father's doormat?"— It m
