CHAPTER 10 - WOLF SHIFTER
YULLI opened his eyes and alerted himself when he heard loud knocks on his door inside the Krieger’s house. He was nearly dozed off after he freshened up. The training earlier exhausted his body. And who could be disturbing him in this ungodly hour? It was past midnight. Then, he heard the familiar female voice.
“Yulli, I need to talk to you.” There was an urgency in her voice.
He lazily opened the mahogany door of his room. “What’s the matter, Argana?”
The middle-aged clairvoyant appeared to be in a panic. She looked paler than her normal complexion, and her golden eyes blinked hard. Her long swirling black hair was disheveled as if she only came from sleep.
“I saw a vision. The princess is in danger, Yulli.”
His eyes widened. “How can you be so sure?”
Argana heaved a sigh. “You know my vision never missed. I heard she left home a few days ago, and until now,

Malaika CHAPTER 11 - BAD NEWS
YULLI was out of breath when he finally found the commander. Alleki was standing near the entrance of the battleground. It appeared that the training had just finished.The commander immediately glared at him when he materialized in his sight.Yulli didn’t mind. His scolding was nothing compared to the bad news he brought.“Where the hell have you been? Why did you skip your training today? You deliberately disobeyed my order! What do you take me for?” Alleki’s face was red.“I’m sorry about that, but I have bad news, Commander,” he said, still trying to catch his breath. He took a shortcut to be back here as quickly as possible, and his mana was nearly drained.“You’re just creating an alibi for skipping your training,” Alleki said with unconcealed disappointment. “If we are defeated in this game with Axum again, I will blame you for not cooperating,” he added.&n
Malaika CHAPTER 12 - ENEMY
MALAIKA slowly opened her eyes. She had to blink many times to adjust her blurry sight. It took her a few minutes before realizing the danger she was in. She was tied within a large wooden pole and could not move. Her feet and hands were bound. It seemed impossible to escape. She carefully examined the place, and it seemed they were inside a cave. It was dark, and the light was coming from a large torch resting a few meters away from her. The air was somehow dry, and judging by the temperature, she was sure that the place was not in Hala. It was freezing. She might be anywhere in Axum! Her eyes widened when her vision caught the dark elf walking towards her with a dagger in hand. “What do you want?” she gritted her teeth and tried to free herself, but it was futile. The dark elf played the dagger in his hand in a circular motion. Slowly, he examined her from head to foot. Then he smirked, flaunting his sharp canine teeth. “The r
Malaika CHAPTER 13 - FLOODING
EREVAN laughed like a maniac as Malaika screamed her lungs out. It seemed he had an immense pleasure seeing how she suffered. “Show me your power, princess. Or die!” Erevan swung his dagger again and targeted her heart for the second time. Malaika was too tired to scream this time. Her throat swelled for wailing nonstop. At this moment, she knew that she would draw her last breath anytime now. Memories have come like a flash since she was a child. She saw how her father loved her when she still had her gift. The gentle pat of the Commander every time she did something horrible that would bring her father to shame. Alleki always stood beside her every time she failed, telling her it was all right to mess up as long as she would rise again and come back stronger. And then there was Yulli, who always brightened her day with just one smile. My life ends here. I’m sorry. She clearly visualized the smiling faces of her friends, who always made her feel she belonged to the circle despite
Malaika CHAPTER 14 - PREPARATIONS
VALIN was waiting in the battleground along with the other shifter delegations. There were two females and three males beside the Captain of the Aerial Army. Mainly from a well-known clan. Yeke, the jackal shifter. The sibling Luch and Rys, both lynx shifters. The females Kaca, a snake shifter, and Ayi, a bear shifter. There were several Halan Cheetah that was almost triple their normal size. They used them for fast travels like this since it would be a hassle if they would shift in their animal form because they have different animal attributes. They immediately gave Alleki a salute when he arrived. “We’re ready,” Valin said confidently. A few meters away from them, the spectators were the family members of each delegate, giving everyone a blessing for a safe journey. The Chieftain came along with Argana, who would give then the final blessing as she prayed fervently to the water goddess to provide them with strength and
Malaika CHAPTER 15 - HUNT
THE storm finally abated, but Malaika was nearly freezing. She tried to make a fire, but everything was still dripping wet.Although until now, she was still wondering where all these waters came from. No matter how she pondered about it, her memories were still hazy.“Darn!” She repeatedly cursed in frustration.“I told you to prepare for a hunt. There are lots of snow leopards around this area, preying on elks. Get the snow leopard fur to keep you warm and kill an elk to fill your stomach.” Xoxo lectured her as it was glued to her shoulder.“I’m already chilling here, and I’m getting frostbite. Can’t you see that I might bleed to death once I step outside?” She tried to be rational since she didn’t even have her slippers on. The sharp diamonds that mixed in thick snow would cut her feet!“Since when you became this coward, princess? Do yo
Malaika CHAPTER 16 - TRAVEL
NEAR the western part of the Great Lake, Seti gave a pouch of gold to Baliq. The latter beamed as he checked the several gold coins that cost a fortune.“You’re indeed generous, lioness.” Baliq grinned.“I just want to make sure we’re safe once we cross the Great Lake.”“Of course! I’ve been in this business for years now.” Baliq said proudly, and he winked. He put the pouch in his pocket.“Smuggler,” Attisha murmured.Seti rolled her eyes and looked at Attisha. “You can still go back in case you change your mind. You know the possible outcome of this mission.”Attisha shook her head. “I’m ready for this. I want to help our friend.”The Escort clapped. “All right! I guess everyone is ready. I am doing this since my nephew also asked me to help you. You know Kane Gunther?”The ladies did not reply
Malaika CHAPTER 17 - DANGER
MALAIKA spent the night with the couple, and at last, she had finally got a chance to fill her stomach. Frode helped her out to dry the leopard’s skin. He also cut a portion of his fur cloak to make a temporary cover for her feet. She was thankful for their generosity, especially now that she felt warm. Frode had excavated the ground to put on the leopard’s carcass. And he also gave his passing prayer to the dead animal. Everyone settled into the deeper part of the burrow to hide the smoke coming from the fire they created. “I guess we’re safe here tonight,” Frode reassured them. “However, this is not a safe place for you, dear—because this is Axum,” Helga said in the midst of their dinner as she focused on Malaika. She held a stick of roasted elk. “I know,” Malaika breathed out. She took another bite of the meat, and it tasted delicious. Just now, she realized how she was starving.She offered a small piece for Xoxo
Malaika CHAPTER 18 - ENCOUNTER
MALAIKA, along with her newfound companions, walked at dawn amidst the freezing breeze. Xoxo was somehow giving her body warmth, just enough for her to function. “It’s a full day walk, Mala. Are you sure you can make it?” Frode asked. He carried the dried skin of the leopard and the remaining meat of the elk. “Of course, she’ll make it, darling!” Helga sounded optimistic. She clutched all the weapons to help her husband carry the load. Malaika only nodded and smiled. Despite the feeling that she would freeze anytime soon if Xoxo didn’t lend his magical warmth. Then she heard Xoxo’s voice in her mind. “This is the only temperature I can give, Princess. It’s enough for you to survive this harsh climate when you reach your destination. At least, your body is covered now.” “Yeah, thanks.” She murmured. The journey seemed an eternity for Malaika. The coniferous forest was vast as t
