Game Of Heart and Truth

3rd POV. 

Somewhere at the Veil, an island that holds the covenant between the dead and the undead.

"Just stop, please! " She snapped pretty hard at him, her blonde, box-braided hair was drenched on the influence of the mysterious rumbling clouds, striking down heavy rains.

She did not know she could do that, betraying him was not on her bucket list. Why would he come back, knowing the consequences? Why didn't he just go afar? She was thawed.

"I...I don't love you!" Her voice uttered the absolute opposite of her mind, shattering her soul, her heart.

"No, I don't believe you." Then came his broken voice, forcing her to shut her eyes. Unable to hold back, warm tears ran down her cheeks. 

"It's done already. We've... our blood is mixed." She knew she betrayed their love and her actions could never be forgiven, but it wasn't her fault. She had reasons. ""In the Veil, lovers shall stand, their blood entangled. When the moon rests on the sea, they shall know their hearts is one. Their covenant is above death". The moon is resting on the sea. The mate vow is complete." Her voice was just a whisper. 

"The bastard is ruining us, and you're allowing it. We were supposed to be mated. You and me. Not that betrayer." He began to stutter. "He's killing all of us. He uses forbidden powers. You can't be with him. I won't allow it." 

"You cannot stop what has already been written." A man came from the shadows, earning an awful glance from the distressed man and woman. There was a glint of amusement on his features.

When he got near the woman, he picked up her hand for a kiss. "My love. The vow is complete. You're mine now."

"You wretched soul..."

"Follow my Lord, Allen. He shall escort you to our chambers, Arabelle."

"Please, don't hurt him, Frederick. You told me you won't banish him if I become yours." Within their hug, she muttered. 

As she left with Allen, she dared not look back at her true mate. She believed he must loathe her.

After Annabelle had left the scene, Frederick finally said. "You know, I once took you for a man with honour, Slyvester. I thought you'd matter in this world but like the rest, you're a weakling. Because of you, I lost everything only to gain all the power in the world. Now, I'll be the end of you." 

For a second, everything froze then all of a sudden, Slyvester screamed, running towards Frederick but with a swift of his hand, the ground shifted. 

"What...?"

"Surprise surprise. Now I bend all the four elements, not just fire. Take him!" 

As Frederick's guard surrounded Slyvester, he quickly hurled a hurricane towards a number of carts nearby, leading to a collosal explosion whose effect crumbled the southern tower.

"Neither you, nor your men would stop me! " He boisterously spatted, anger and hatred evidently showed in his tone. In a flash, he choked the guards to death, counteractively heading towards Frederick and gripping him by the neck. Air benders were known for super-speed and agility.

"What have you done to her? What sorcery do you possess? Everyone you banished, where did they go?" One could sense the desperation in Slyvester's composure.

"Oh, you are so naive. Well, it won't be for long. He said you'd become just as barbaric as me. You just won't last long." 

Frederick's voice broke as Slyvester's grip tightened. "He...who's that?" Massive blow of wind torn the ground as Slyvester's anger rose. "Who the fuck are you talking about?" 

"Oh, you humour me, and you're lucky the plan didn't suit killing you myself." Under Frederick's influence, Slyvester fell down to his knees, his eyes bulged and his blood boiling, turning his skin reddish. 

"Anabelle made me promise not to kill you, so how about I banish you just like I did to your family?" Gratingly, Frederick laughed at the man he's just blood-bended.

With a brush of his fingers against the air, Slyvester flowed towards him. 

"Dolores inferni circumdederunt, Ares. Da electi regis imperium posset. Hanc discussis squalentibus. Atque ingratus homini de terra. Periculum esse debet, sicut ille est destrui. "

A white sparks of electricity flowed through Frederick's veins, and like the weave of a thread, the lightning moved across his oceanic eyes. The sky roared, thunder lucidly mumbled through the clouds. The blazing rage of Frederick's power was overwhelming.

"Nos eiciant vos." Frederick's voice was not his, they held piles of voices. His dark-god, and they amplified with authority by each second passed. 

"The world isn't what you think it is anymore."

A flood of shadowy thread with screeching sound devoured the beloved as he screamed. His heart beat incredibly fast, not because of the unbearable pain he was passing through, but because of his loss. Hatred and rancor was all he felt as they pierced his heart. Soon, all faded out...

~Author's Note~

Yo, bubble butts. 

Welcome to the land of Changeling where only the fittest survive.

Straight to business, I'm going to start by appreciating you for taking up this book. This novel explores a fantasy world of benders, except when you think that's lame and unexciting, ask yourself: have you ever seen a fire bender who can command nuclear weapon with a swift hand movement, channels the energy of life from a human to himself?

Ooh, does that grab your attention?

The main character of this sorry is Liliana Rosalyn. I love her so much, and I hope you guys find her intriguing as well. She captures the personality I want for you. Now, I put in my all into this book so please engage with it. I welcome corrections as well.
