Chapter 17: Throne
The General was guessing it would take a while for Princess Lamea to come. Thus, he did not expect to see her waiting for him as soon as he entered the room.
There were no guards visible around. An indication that the princess had dismissed them and does not wish anyone to overhear their conversation.
"Something is amiss."
Her grim countenance in full display, the moment he arrived. Her words though softly spoken still echoed along the walls of the empty throne room.
Wulfric was about to kneel and genuflect. However, Princess Lamea waived her hand in dismissal and instead urged him to come closer.
"It is only the two of us, Wulfric. No need for formalities. Now, tell me.”
"Yes, Princess Lamea. After moonrise today, an attack to the Eastern border caught our soldiers by surprise."
"The Elite Guards of Grendlar? Are you certain?" Her brows creased in contemplation.
Wulfric did not have to voice out his affirmative response.

After General Wolf left, Princess Lamea remained unmoving on her throne. Pondering the events that happened; from her father’s death, Luna’s existence and the attacks that lead to this day.She is beginning to suspect that everything is connected.Before her father died, Lamea recalled, he had been adamantly on guard around her. Though he had never let Lamea freely read all his thoughts; the blocks were never that obvious as on the days leading to his death.It was clear that he was hiding something from her. Thinking hard, Lamea tried to recall any incident from the last time her father came back from the human realm, that may give her a clue.But aside from that one occasion he told them about Luna and her mother, nothing comes to mind.“What am I missing…?” she keeps on murmuring, repeatedly drumming her index finger on the throne. On it was a ring made of pure gold, inlaid with small diamonds. It’s wide and

Luna woke up early the next morning feeling restless. Shifting in her bed, she gazes upon the conch left by General Wolf. He must have arrived at the post by now. Getting up, Luna picked-up the shell and placed the opening close to her ears. The sound of the waves can be heard at first followed by the baritone voice of the general. It was all instructions for what she needed to work on. Including the fact that Commander Ortho will supervise her training. Puffing air out of her mouth, she jumped back on the bed, enjoying a little more lazy-time.

Looking like evil villains in a horror movie, the two princes continued to engage in an awkward laughter. After a while, Luna’s amusement turned into a shudder. When both showed no signs of stopping, Luna bravely intervene.“Cough… I think that’s enough…Please stop.” Upon hearing Luna, the guests immediately stilled mid-laugh and shifted their probing orbs on her. And in unison said, “As you wish princess.”Luna was relieved but would probably have nightmares when remembering the strange sound."Okay, you guys haven't answered any of my questions. Who are you? How did you get in here?" She would probably regret later, staying and talking with them instead of running away. But at that moment, Luna’s curiosity was piqued by these creatures. She needs to know why they risked coming just to meet her."Our apologies, Princess Luna, Royal Princess of the Kingdom of Con

Across the kingdom.Under the heat of the rising sun, General Wolf rode into the Eastern Post. His imposing figure on top of Beast drew blatant stares.The general, though fearsome, is a presence akin to salvation and relief in a battlefield. Him, arriving at this time of unrest brought a sense of security to the affected villagers.Whispers began to spread of Wulfric's arrival as soldiers met him. In the forefront is Keith, who was bent on one knee with his head bowed in respect; looking exhausted, clearly from an eventful night of chasing enemies.Reigning Beast to a stop, Wulfric got off and handed the reigns to a waiting stable boy. Then immediately demanded from Keith the situation."Tell me.""The remaining villagers had all been accounted for and those slain were prepared for burial. Unfortunately, we lost a few warriors, two of them were shadow messengers."Keith had to take a momentary pause to compose himself from the emotio

The dungeon’s heavy gate was already visible when Keith suddenly remembered something.“The tattooed warriors also came. They should be waiting.”Wulfric just raised his eyebrow at Keith. The situation in the Kingdom may really be serious. The magnitude of the attack was small but how it was executed was very sophisticated. This means a lot more is at stake.“They sneaked in the dungeon right before you arrived. The chieftain posted warriors at the gate. He is waiting for you to start questioning Ember.”Keith shuddered as he recalls goosebumps on his arms watching the mystic warriors appear one after the other in this darkened underground. Though they are known to be the protectors of the land, he cannot help the cold feeling that creeps on his back whenever he meets one.Wulfric smirked noticing Keith’s shiver.“Do you remember the first time you met- ““I would really appreciate

Crazed to the point of madness, Commander Ember’s blood lust eyes continued to stare at Wulfric in hunger.Wulfric did not care much and turned to the corner where the other half of the commander stands separately; looking meaningfully at Ember as he sheathed his sword.The chained commander made a sound of whimper as he followed the general’s gaze, understanding his silent words.He is vulnerable. Wulfric knows that very well. And he is letting him know he will exploit that fact to threaten him.In this form Ember is almost unshakable. Except when his lower half is attacked. And right now, his weakness is fully exposed.“Let us get this over with, Ember. Tell me, were you behind the attack? And setting fire of the villages?”“Aren’t you giving me too much credit, General? Me? A meek commander, lead the attack against the warrior of Constancia?”Looking at the sinister face, Wulfric felt justi
Luna and the Land of Lore Chapter 25: Found his match!
Outside, all the warriors including the tattooed ones flinched at least once. The wailing was not for the faint of heart.One way or another, it all got them thinking it was still best to stay on the good side of both The Wolf and the chief.When the cries finally stopped, the warriors almost sighed in relief and thank Bathala.A few minutes later, the two lead warriors came out one after the other. Chief Abian came out first, cleaning his whip as he walks. His bare tattooed torso covered with spatters of gore. On his heels, was General Wolf his expressionless face dotted by blood. Unlike the chief, he seems not to care and left it to stain.The two were also having a conversation as if everything is normal.Chief Abian was heard saying, “Tsk! It seems that the instigator is very cautious. And clever if I may say. Only certain parts of the plan were revealed to each member. They thoroughly prepared for the eventuality that one may be
