Mortal RealmCity of RhodesSouthern Garrison•LOTHAIRE• Three days have passed and we still remain to defend the dwellers of the land of the living. We retrieved survivors from their hideouts and we easily determined if they were an enemy based on the color of their eyes. Arwald ordered Denali to take the wounded warriors to Solum and offer them healing. The city was drenched in blood and flooded by corpses. We stank like the smell of the Apophian remains. We strolled through the dense forest to see if there were warriors we could recover. I threw a death wave and all the living organism withered. "I reckon that is unnecessary," Naeitha uttered. "We need to be certain," I replied. It was sundown when we confirmed that there were no enemies left. Arwald attempted to make a downpour through the clouds. A sudden copious rainfall came. "What is the reason of this deluge?" Bryndis asked him. "It is intended to wash the

Underworld RealmLothaire's DemesnePalace •PHAELIN• Hereafter this day the union will occur. I looked at the balcony of the palace as the denizens of the underworld prepared their finest wardrobe. I told them offerings were unnecessary for their presence were more valuable to me. I went back inside as I heard Lothaire having a word with Azael. He met my gaze as I went close to him. Delight filled his face as he acknowledged my presence. The servant bowed and left. “Custard Apple…” I uttered as I saw a platter of Cherimoya. It granted my nose a sweet scent and taste of vanilla. “The fruit is intended for the ceremony, my lady,” he replied. “I

Underworld RealmLothaire's DemesnePalace •PHAELIN• I opened my eyes as I felt myself being shaken. My sight was hazy at first. There was a hand placed in my shoulder and a maiden stood in front of me. Her face was not familiar and she spoke, “My lady.” She stopped what she was doing as she realized I gained consciousness in that moment. She took the weight off her feet at the edge of my bed whilst I let out a yawn. I rubbed my eyes as I sat and she arranged the pillows beside me. “Who are you?” I asked, “You entered my chamber without a key.” We both let out a laugh albeit it was quite strange to me. “The lordship gave me a spare, my lady,” she answered, “My name is Ronoe.

Underworld RealmLothaire's DemesnePalace Grounds •LOTHAIRE• Custard Apple. There was a sudden pause before she took the crimson seeds and placed it in her mouth. I let out a sigh of relief. "We are now granting you the gift of immortality and eternal youth,” Bryndis said as she offered the glass of Elixir. My little flower took a sip from the glass and a haze of glistening light surrounded her entirety. She tightened her grip on my hand. It persisted for a while before it faded and her appearance glowed in my eyes. She breathed heavily as she met my gaze. The servants offered the Alkuhsia poured in a wineglass as Bryndis u

Underworld RealmLothaire’s DemesneValley of Judgement •PHAELIN• The voice of the three judges echoed as Lothaire and I walked towards their direction. They acknowledged both of our presence as we arrived in front which seemed the court of the dead. There was a council as well beside them. "I reckon the queen is here to judge souls,” Fardoragh said as he looked at me and let out a smile. “Indeed,” Lothaire answered. Two thrones rose above the seats of the three judges. It was made of black obsidian crested with stones and an elegant coat of arms. It impressively signified the power of dignitary. “We should take the weight off our feet,” he added as we headed towards the seats. &n

Underworld RealmLothaire's Demesne Palace•PHAELIN• I used a dark porous carbon as I sketched Lothaire’s face. I emphasized the shade on his eyes and the curve of his jaw. By means of my finger, I smudged the quantity of darkness in the folds that surrounded his mouth. I smoothened and rendered the portraiture. It has been three consecutive days from the first time I testified souls in trial and the judges declared I already mastered it. I sat on the bed whilst I waited for him here in our chamber. I received a sudden knock on the door. I ceased what I was doing and spoke, “You may enter.” I tried to look at who it was. Lothaire came inside holding a piece of scroll and he closed the door. His helm was on his left hand and he placed it on the bedside table. “My love…” he greeted, “I apologize that I kept you waiting.” “I do not mind,” I told him as I hid the illustration behind my back. He noticed what I did and he let out a sm

SolumArwald’s RealmPalace•LOTHAIRE• “He certainly asked for a trade?” I tried to confirm as I faced all of the gods. I clenched my fist whilst I tried to make a decision. “Indeed…” Arwald uttered, “Five demi-gods—Tiva, Ameyalli, Kabecka, Brynhild, Inghard, and Trygve—were in his hands.” “Apophis wants the key in exchange to them,” I stated. “What if we deceive him?” Naeitha asked, “We should think of a plan where we can retrieve the five demi-gods without granting him the key to the Void.” “It would not work,” Caliban countered. “Why?” I asked. “If ever you grant him an inaccurate key and he headed straight to the underworld, Lothaire’s realm will be in danger,” Lorcan replied and I clenched my jaw in his statement. “Neither will I risk my queen nor put my denizens in peril,” I said as I agreed with Lorcan. “He desires for it within seven eventides,” Arwald stated, “Otherwise he will slaughter

Underworld RealmLothaire's DemesnePalace•PHAELIN• Two days have passed and Lothaire had been preparing to face Apophis. I looked at him as he trained with one of the underworld warriors. His movements were calculated. He swiveled his sword swiftly like a runner’s certain feet. When he called for a short period of rest, he headed towards my direction and took the weight of his feet. “Are you doing alright?” he asked whilst he breathed heavily. He placed down his sword and I reached out for a glass of water to quench his thirst. “Without a doubt…” I replied as I gave him a smile. I know throughout my entire being that I will long for his presence. However, I have to be valiant.
