Gwenn pov
“Alal, time is of the essence, I know that but you have to help these people, they are your people. Doing well will cement your reign, you know that.” Silana suggested as I watched as giant rocks fell from the top of the cave to cover the mouth of it.I couldn’t help stopping in every town on our way, to help the people in the settlements with few of their problems. Almost every town had some issue or another. One had a well that had dried up and the villagers thirst was increasing, I helped with getting the well flowing again by channeling a river to it … I didn’t even know all the intricacies of what I did but I knew that I made the villagers life better.
This people problem was more on the side of the unnatural, one of those whom I think, I might have awakened. A beast comes out of this cave at night and eat the food crops of the villagers, no matter where they are hidden. The logical thing to do afte
Kastav Pov.It was time, time to kill Arius for good. It took me longer than expected to heal but I kept my wrath with me, if I had attacked Dahlia immediately, it would have tipped my hand and someone will Arius from me and it was not like I had access to his wife so I can link to him through her.This time, I didn’t turn to a cloud of vapor or even try to hide my identity, I strolled to Arius quarters which was right beside mine and I couldn’t wait to occupy this one.Strange enough there was no Nisse around, it was like someone had told them to stay away but I didn’t think much of it. One of the foreigner orders before she left was that the help should be reduced to the barest minimum, she wanted Arius not to be in danger from them but she didn’t know that the danger was going to come from his family. Her edict is soothing though as no one will see me and think that I had anything to do with this.The tim
Gwenn povSomething was wrong and I felt it, someone had just died and this person was closed to me, I jumped up from my bed just as Silana screamed and her eyes went open.“Who?” I asked Silana who shook her head at me.“I am sorry Gwenn. So sorry.” She added as Tears came down from her eyes. I would have demanded to know more if my attention was not taken from her. The air felt wrong.“What’s going on?” I asked Silana.“Death, the reign has come.” Silana replied, her words and the somber way she said it sent chills down my spine.“All that is left is that you find what you seek and return before Northshore will be left with nothing.” Silana said.Adela brushed her body against mine and when I looked at her, she moved towards the door. “I have to go?”“You have to continue your journey from here by yourself a
Kastav Pov The last time I went into the council hall, I escaped weak and with my tail between my legs. It will not happen this time around. Not when the control was firmly in his grasp, I waited until their usual meeting time, if I was going to take control then I better do it well, after all what is an insurrection without any deaths. Yes. That is it. Let me kill them. “You will but remember, they get to suffer first.” I responded to the voice out loud, the Nisse that just past me, looked at me weirdly before hurrying on as if when she get out of my sight, my presence will no longer reach her. She does not know that very soon. The whole world would not be enough for anybody to hide in to escape me. I opened the door to the council hall. “Finally, we were wondering where you two were…” Kayd started only to stop talking when he realized that I was not who he was expecting. “Prince Kastav. I th
“What is going on?” Catia approached me the moment, I entered. I watched as our other siblings eyed us, my brothers especially. They must have guessed what was.“What mother wanted for me.” I replied my sister. I watched as Catia eyes farrowed as she tried to reason what I said. I saw the exact moment she understood. The joy in her gaze and then she hugged me.“I am happy brother. Congratulations.” She replied before she went back to our siblings.I walked to the throne, the direction which everybody was facing and in front of everybody, I sat down in the seat meant for Yama. Utter silence filled the room, regardless of the people in it. All eyes on me as they realized that this was me over throwing my brother.“Any questions?” I asked.“What about the king…” A Mareikura asked
I wanted to ask so many questions, so badly but I could not. My tongue was tied as I watched the entity that was partly inside me since. I apparently crossed the world of the living to their world. I had passed through a physical gate and landed myself here both body and spirit.“Am I still alive?” I questioned.“Yes.” She laughed. “Very much so. Oh how I wished that I could get to spend time with you and know you, my newer self but I cannot. Time has ran out and our world is in jeopardy. Both of our worlds. You need to defeat Mazikeen but for that to happen, we need to go back to the beginning because for the future to be safe once more, the genesis of it all has to be known. Are you ready?” She asked.I nodded my replied. I have been ready ever since I started this journey.“Mazikeen did not go out looking for power, he stumb
Catia povMy brother is possessed by a drude. That alone makes him unable to rule but I would not be the person to tell him that, not when the last few people who did, died. I now know why Silana said I was the biggest scum at Kastav side. I pushed him to this. If I had allowed him to be contented with his life when he was just a prince and stop his ambitions then maybe this would have never happened.And now I was on my way to see my favorite brother who killed three of my other brothers and made me his queen. The only time I was ever this scared was when Father became ill and even then, he was present to calm me down but who is going to calm me of my fear from him.“You took your time.” Kastav growled the minute I entered the throne room. A room that has become his favorite in the castle even though he hardly do anything in it.“I got the message le
Themis PovI was tired of falling. I have been falling for what felt like hours now because since Kastav sent us into the portal he created, I have not been able to stop falling. My only consolation is that Orel and my son has been on the same length as me, no one of us ever leaving the same length so we could keep each other in the same eyesight. That should have been the first marker for me but I had ignored it. We stopped shouting when the fall did not stop and even started conversing and that was when something different happened.“I wish this would just end soon.” Orel grated.“It should have ended because we are not of the same weight and yet we are still falling at the level of falling.” I voiced“My wife must be tired of viewing my face since she wants me to fall faster.” Orel replied wryly.“No, that is not it.
Themis PovI had appeared at the right time. Gwenn was in shock, staring at a body on the ground. Without looking at the body, I knew that it was Silana, one of the blind spots in my gift. A blind spot that might have saved the world.“Would you look at that, the same way I killed Sorens, I also killed that brat. The next on the list is you.” Kastav crackled as he moved towards Gwenn in a leisured pace.I could not allow that to happen, there was not much I could do except throw a dagger, which I collected from Orel, his way. I needed to get Gwenn to snap out of her mind and tell her what I learnt. She needed to tap into my gift so she could win.When the dagger met its mark, I ran towards Gwenn even as he grunted.“You.” He growled as he sent something my way but it never had the chance to reach me becau
