The atmosphere was cold and silent as only the sound of ruffling leaves could be heard accompanied by a loud cry of a powerful werewolf, the night dark and far from safety.An awful smell polluted the air as birds of the night cried out for safety. Through the thick darkness, a young man was seen running fiercely through the deep woods, his hair dark as coal as it rested firmly on his shoulder. His lips were red as blood and his green eyes sparkled through the night in great fear. The heavy sound of his panting echoed through the woods which were fully guarded by tall trees as its leaves swung to the touch of the night breeze.Adolphus turned back with great panic in his eyes as beads of sweat formed on his forehead. His skin was as white as snow and his uncovered chest was filled with full hairs. He panted loudly as he ran faster than any werewolf that has ever lived but the more he ran, the more his strength faded.Adolphus glanced at his fingers which sprint out in the long and poi
"This is the myth of the legendary werewolf of mankind, evil and fierce and he kills without mercy, so brutal and relentless" The voice of Mama Gunad, the oldest woman in the village echoed in her small abode surrounded with candles and little children who sat in her most, their eyes wide open in fear and curiosity."Is he alive, mother?" a young child among the children asked with little eyes that were covered with fear.Mama Gunad's expression was suppressed as she looked at the child with a scary face, "Yes!" She roared, her eyes scanning the little children before her, "He lives far away from the reach of humans, bound with a curse that can never let him out, he…" A soft chuckle cut her through as a figure walked into her hut, her long black hair flowed gently behind her back, "Oh mother, when will you ever stop telling such tales about a legendary werewolf, we all know that he doesn't exist" Princess Lilia said on sarcasm as she stood beside the children who stared at her with a
Lilia strolled through the hallway and headed towards the throne room. She glanced down at the pink gown she decided to wear. It stood elegantly on her body but not regarding its beauty, Lilia felt very uncomfortable in it. She glanced at her hands that were covered in white long gloves, her hair was nicely packed by her maids with hairpins that added more radiating beauty to it. As she sauntered further, her blue eyes twinkled as unspoken words filled her mind. She wondered which kingdom this suitor comes from and his looks but one thing is certain that no man can ever win her heart. She got to the door of the throne room, from where she stood, she heard her father's voice along with an unfamiliar voice. The soldier at the door opened it widely for her as she stepped in, her eyes fixed on the young man next to her father.King Arthur looked up at the sight of Lilia, he smiled proudly at her look and was sure that her suitor would be thrilled by her captivating beauty. Queen Mena n
The sound of galloping horses was heard across the kingdom. Soldiers rode through the kingdom with sticks of fire in their hands as they safeguard the kingdom against invading enemies. Lilia hid behind a cart, a scarf tied around her head as she waited for a soldier galloping towards her. The soldier rode past her not noticing her presence, Lilia inhaled deeply in relief and quickly walked towards Mama Gunad's door. She knocked quietly not to attract the attention of a nearby soldier approaching her. She heard a voice indoors, "Open mother, it's Lilia" she whispered with her mouth pressed on the wooden door. Instantly, the door opened, Lilia quickly burst in and closed the door. The noise of the closing door attracted a nearby soldier. Quickly, Lilia hid under the old woman's bed, her hands over her mouth."I heard a noise in here," the soldier said firmly as he stared at the woman with angry eyes. Mama Gunad weakly held onto the door as she faced the intimidating soldier, "It's n
The sun shone brightly without mercy, the chirping sound of insects filled the woods as squirrels ran past the grass up to a tree trunk. Lilia's eyes flickered around as she walked on, she had been wandering around for hours but couldn't find a nearby village. Every moment she felt thirsty, she brought out the bottle of water in her bag, took a sip, and dumped it back into her bag just to preserve it. She doesn't know when she will find a village so she shouldn't be wasteful. As she walked on, her feet stepped on dry leaves as the rustling sound occupied her, she looked up at the tall trees before her, some of them had dry leaves which fell drastically to the ground but the rest were green and filled with fruits of its kind. She must find a way through these trees and get to someone as soon as possible but the more she walked, the more she became confused and paranoid. Lilia bit her lower lip with puzzled eyes, at a point, she began to feel weak and her feet began to hurt. She surv
Lilia began to struggle in the dark but the hand that held her was far stronger than her fading strength. She kicked the figure hard on its leg which was so firm that she thought she hit a rock instead.The figure said nothing but refused to release its hand from her mouth no matter how hard Lilia strived.Slowly, a tiny ray of light emitted from a crack above, and slowly, Lilia saw a pair of dazzling green eyes staring at her. At first, she couldn't see anything else but those green eyes that were pierced deep into her soul. She closed her eyes and struggled more but the more she did, the more she realized that her effort was fruitless. With sad eyes, a tear slowly fell from her left eye as she begged the green eyes which stared at her nonstop. Slowly, the ray of the light became brighter and shone on the necklace around her neck, its radiation filled the room.The green eyes before her shone in shock at the sight of the necklace and suddenly his eyes became so angry and violent.
A ray of light pierced through her skin, her body burned up in enormous pain. Slowly, Lilia opened her eyes to find a pair of eyes staring at her. She narrowed her eyes at the image before her as it became clear, the eyes that stared at her were not the green eyes she was expecting to see but her mum's blue eyes that shone in worry."My Child" Queen Mena muttered with a happy smile as she quickly cupped Lilia's hand in hers, her face beaming with joy.Lilia blinked with a confused look, she scanned around and was surprised to find herself back in her bedroom, her mum seated next to her with a relieved face. She squeezed her forehead puzzled as she wondered how she got here, "Mother" she whispered as the pain in her mouth prevented her from speaking. She winced in pain, her eyes shut together as her back ached badly."Stay calm child, don't stress yourself, you are still healing" Queen Mena caress her hand slowly, her eyes welled up with tears, "I thought I have lost you forever" she s
The sound of the galloping horses was heard as they left the palace and headed to the village. Lilia glanced out at the open window of the carriage as she gazed at people who stopped as soon as they saw the royal carriage approaching. Finally, she could get answers concerning the necklace that was given to her by Mama Gunad, she needs to know its origin and maybe get answers of the beast in the cave. The carriage rode gently, the pain in her body made it difficult for her to stay put but she insisted that she would, no matter how hard it would take.Soon, they got closer to Mama Gunad's house, the people around stared at Queen Mena in glittering eyes as they admired her beauty and royal clothings. They were used to seeing the princess but the presence of the Queen gave them goosebumps as their heart raced with awe. Lilia got out of the carriage, she didn't care about her twisted ankle or the villagers watching. With pains, she limps towards the door of the hut, her heart filled wit
