ZERON
Dread sinks into my heart like the cold blade of a dagger at the thought of Alanna being in grave danger. Could it be that Valdrin had taken my wife with him? Or worse still, had Lochan succeeded in taking her away from me?No, no, this can't be happening.Talon shifts his weight to his left leg, his gaze refusing to meet mine. Now that I think about it, there's an air of uneasiness around him. It's almost as if-- he knows something about Alanna's disappearance."I want to be alone" I say and the rest of the guards leaves the chamber. Just as Talon starts to leave, I stop him."Talon, I believe we have something to talk about" I say and he stiffens. Slowly, he turns to look at me."What is going on, Talon?" I demand and he lowers his gaze, an air of remorse around him. This doesn't help with my growing frustration. Now, I'm definitely sure of the fact that he knows somethiRelated chapters

ALANNA The tiger gem begins to glow brightly, the palm of my hand barely containing it's radiant light. "How do we use this?" I ask Azalea who quietly takes out a knife. "Here, the tiger gem can only be activated by non-magic users. Your blood just needs to make contact with the gem" she replies, maintaining eye contact with me. "Okay" I breathe and quickly make a cut on my palm. As soon as it begins to bleed, I tighten my injured hand into a fist, positioning it directly above the gem. The gem begins to glow even brighter as soon as my blood makes contact with it. Then, all of a sudden, the whole place begins to turn grey, then white. Finally, we find ourselves standing in a field of Jasmine flowers. Standing few metres away is a very old man with wrinkles on his face and a bald head. Judging from the cloak he's wearing, he must be Azeroth's guardian. He has a grim look on his face and he

ZERON Lying in bed with pain coursing through every inch of my body, I close my eyes, trying not to give in to the pain. It's been a while since I felt like this and it's strange how I've almost forgotten what it felt like. I don't know if I'm hurting more because of Alanna's absence or maybe I'm just hurting because I'm really trying hard not to loose control. One slip up and I'll literally become a maniac who wouldn't be able to tell the difference between those who are with him and those who are against him. But now that I think of it, what's the point in holding back?Alanna's gone, probably gone forever and she's not here to keep me sane. I can pretend for as long as I want to but the truth is that I'm loosing control. For all it's worth, with me fully immersed in darkness, Lochan wouldn't stand a chance against me, so why fight the only thing that I have left? Taking a deep breath, I s

Time flies rather so quickly and as the years go by, I'm grateful that I was gifted the chance to experience true happiness with my husband. It's amazing how much my husband has changed within the past few years. He shows more emotions and when I see him laugh, smile or even cry tears of joy, there's an overwhelming rush of ecstasy that washes over me. Sometimes, his emotions gets shuttered, but that only happens in rare occasions. I can remember, clear as day, what happened the night our first born child was brought into the world of magic. I remember falling into labor while I was in the tea room with Azalea. Our son indeed gave me a tough time during labour, but at exactly midnight, Kyraz was born. Zeron had been by my side all through my labour but as soon as he saw the baby, he took off. I was worried that something was wrong with my baby but Albina assured me that my baby was perfectly fine. Zeron was apparently feeling emotions that were probably t

"Your majesty, I think we should go back to the palace, you look really tired" Valdrin, an ice witcher who was the winter king's best friend, said to the king."No, Valdrin. I can't. Not yet. I feel like she's so close. I can feel it. I just need to find her" King Zeron replied, pushing his weak body forward. Zylon, his other right hand man, heaved a sigh."You're pushing yourself too hard, my king" he said. Zeron knew deep within him that they were right but he couldn't resist the urge to seek his cure. He felt a sharp pain in his chest and doubled over, coughing up blood. "Sire, you should rest. The queen mother will be upset if she found out that you pushed yourself too hard" Valdrin said, helping the king to sit on a bench in an empty park. Zeron's eyes and ears were alert. They were in the mortal world but they were invincible to humans. It was late at night, very close to midnight. Zeron didn't want today to be another disappointment especially since he woul

ALANNA I take a deep breath, my gaze wandering back and forth; my heart skipping a beat each time I hear small sounds. Walking along the empty streets, late at night isn't exactly my favorite thing. I'm all alone and it scares the shit out of me. I begin to hum slowly, trying to relax as I quicken my pace. I hadn't planned to work late. Robin, my co-worker, had fallen sick and I'd taken his shift. More work, extra pay, I think it's worth it. I live alone. I don't exactly have anyone to care for me apart from my best friend, Samantha and dearest Robin who is such asweetheart. Now it's close to midnight and I'm walking home. Stupid, right?I clutch my bag tighter, my heart beating faster. The air becomes cooler and I shiver unconsciously. The streetlights begin to flicker and I increase my pace, nearly bumping into a still figure. I yelp in surprise, taking few step backwards when he doesn't move

ALANNA My heart starts to beat faster, my stomach churning uneasily. The king sits up, his burning gaze intense. I swallow hard, my gaze rooted to the floor. I have just committed a crime. What's my punishment? What if they decide to whip me a hundred times? What if I'm going to be thrown into a furnace? "I'm s-so s-s sorry, I shouldn't have c-come h-here. P-please don't be mad at me. I'll be g-good from now on" I stutter, tears blurring my vision. I'm panicking too much to even notice that the king has gotten out of bed and is now standing right in front of me with his robe untied. I don't notice his presence until I perceive the sweet smell of roses and lavenders. Oh my God. What smells so good? Someone touches my chin, caressing it a little.Slowly, my head is tipped back and my gaze locks with the king's heated gaze. I shiver, biting my lower lip."Curious, are we?" He smirks. His voice is like vel

Centuries ago, "Gael! I'm definitely with child and you're the father of my child!" "No, I am not. Do you think I'm stupid? Rohanne, you've always been power- hungry. I know you would do anything to get power! I never touched you. You're not carrying my child!""How dare you accuse me of lying about something like this? Do you not trust me anymore?""Rohanne, what we had is over. I'm married now and I'm happy with her-" "Father?" a raven haired six years old boy said as he cautiously opened the door and stepped into his father's chamber. "Zeron, you shouldn't be here. Go back to your mum!" King Gael ordered. A look of jealousy appeared on Rohanne's face and just as the little boy tried to open the door, she used her magic to lock the door. A blast of purple fog appeared around her outstretched arms and she channeled it towards the king. It hit him right on the chest

ZERON Fiery red eyes gaze back at me from the full length mirror in my room as I stand in front of it, shirtless. Dark red liquid dribbles down the length of my arms and splats on the shiny floor, leaving behind vivid stains of blood. I tilt my head, staring at the self inflicted wounds and lacerations on my chest and arms with lifeless eyes. I can barely feel the pain despite how much I'm bleeding. This is because I've become severely attached to this disgusting act. I lost the ability to control myself centuries ago and I'd just been holding up a good image for the petty little human. I almost feel sorry for her. She doesn't know what she's gotten into. She doesn't know that it might be too late. She doesn't know that I have become quite the monster. I close my eyes, feeling the shadows of the darkness calling out to me. I exhale slowly, humming low in my throat. My mother had once said that my voi
