LOGINClaire stood by the window, staring out with her arms folded under her chest, while Stella sat on the chair. Claire had a serious and dark look on her face as if she was thinking about something.
"That was a close call, Claire... I think we should listen to your mother and stop going off to the meadow all by ourselves," Stella started to nervously say to her, sensing her foul mood."Would you just shut up and let me think for a minute?!" Claire snapped at her over her shoulMoon's Call (13)That evening, Astrophel and Theresa walked side by side through the village.After being in bed for hours to regain her strength, Theresa had requested that she should be allowed to clear things from her mind by taking a stroll because she was feeling cooped up from being indoors for too long, and Astrophel, despite his mother's disapproval had offered to accompany her.It was as if he was afraid to leave her all by herself and he just wanted to keep spending time with her every chance he got, despite knowing that his parents disapproved of his silent intentions towards Theresa.Theresa watched the children play, running around and across the paths. She tried to ignore the stares they were getting from most of the adults as she walked slowly beside Astrophel, who just put his arms behind him without a word."You are quiet..." Theresa finally said, without looking at him. "Always quiet."Astrophel glanced her way. "You don't find that weird, do you?""Not really, I don
Claire stood by the window, staring out with her arms folded under her chest, while Stella sat on the chair.

I think we should listen to your mother and stop going off to the meadow all by ourselves," Stella started to nervously say to her, sensing her foul mood."Would you just shut up and let me think for a minute?!" Claire snapped at her over her shoulder. "It is your fault we were out there in the first place, unprotected!"Stella's eyes widened in shock. Claire was always fond of putting all the blame on her. "But, you-"Claire cut her short. "We would not have had that damn creature after us if you didn't want to go to the meadow and sulk over Astrophel!"Stella solemnly looked away without a word. She knew Claire mostly taunted her with the knowledge of her crush for Astrophel, her brother, and sometimes even threate
Claire smiled in triumph and turned to look at Mathew. "Well, go back and tell my mother that you couldn't find us. I still need some time out here..." She shaded her eyes from the sun with her hand, and narrowed her eyes at the horizon. "This is the easiest place I can find Lycidas...passing by," she said dreamily. "What!" Mathew and Stella exclaimed in unison. Claire put down her hand and glared at both of them. "What?" "The mistress is mad at you two and she wants you home right now!" Mathew said firmly. "And besides, if we don't go now, it only worsens my punishment!" Stella stated. Claire shrugged. "My point again; things we do for love, isn't it? Like I said, we will wait until I see Lycidas," she turned to Mathew now. "And you, scram!" She snapped at him and the boy almost stumbled backwards. "But a beast is loose in Pragoth right now... It is somewhere out there!" Mathew said in dread, scanning around with a wary look. Claire frowned at him, puzzled. "What do you
"What's the Amphisbaena?" Theresa who had risen from her chair and had watched the couple in concerned silence, finally asked, unable to contain her curiosity any longer. "I've never heard of it before.""According to history, the Amphisbaena was spawned from the blood of the Gorgon, Medusa. It's a serpent which has two venomous heads at the head and the rear, and one can hardly tell the main head from the rear head."Herrick met Darius outside the house and announced. "The two-headed serpents are approaching the village; we have to stop them now."Darius stared at the horizon then instructed: "Herrick, get Moon's Call as quickly as you can; we can't do this without him!" He turned to the other men gathered around him. "The others, with me!" He shifted into a wolf and Astrophel and the other men did the same then they all darted out of the village.Herrick shifted into a wolf and darted the other way in search of Lycidas while Elaine and Theresa came out
Once they were alone, Theresa had a chance to scrutinize her supposed mate. His features were strong and his somewhat chiselled face was handsome. His eyes were beautiful and distinct and he had a fierce aura despite his quiet demeanour. She couldn't let her eyes wander to the rest of his body because she sure didn't know how to look at a man apart from his face anyway. Besides, she had almost no experience with the opposite sex, especially during courtship.Glancing down at her lap where she was nervously wringing her fingers, she tried to do away with the uncomfortable silence that hung in the air. "I'm Theresa..." She began feebly in an attempt to start a conversation.He turned to look at her, tapping lightly on the table top with his nails. "I know," He said impassively.She hesitated and asked: "And you are Lycidas?"He answered with a grunt.This was all awkward for her and she felt very nervous. "I heard you are a lone wolf; an omega to be
"I've never seen anything like it before," Medea whispered mesmerized by thebeauty of the galaxy moving slowly in its transparent head.Berry's eyes finally settled on Theresa's worried face and he began jabbing one of its three fingers at her, gibbering as if accusing her in a language only she could understand. All heads diverted to Theresa who bit her lower lip nervously and cringed, turning a bit red in the face."Does it know you?" Karen was the first to ask.Theresa nodded and stared at Berry who was still hauling accusations at her. "It is mine."Claire snorted again. "Can this get any better? The weird princess gets weirder by the minute."Astrophel shot her a glare and she frowned at him."What is it saying?" Herrick curiously asked."It is mad at me," Theresa answered."Why?" Stella asked."It is obviously because I abandoned it in my room. I even forgot I brought him along," Theresa said ruefully.
"Just look at her blossom like a flower in spring." The queen in distaste said as she watched Theresa from one of her windows. She was walking out of the castle with a gathering basket on her arm. “I hate to admit that with the physical attributes of Adolph and that nymph, she turned out to be the

“What? The dire wolves got your tongue?! How dare you walk into my chambers like you own the place?! You came to spy on me, didn’t you?!" the queen hissed. "You good for nothing scheming whore! You have had my husband and now, you would have my throne?!" Alethea quickly shook her head in fear, sti
"She's lovely, isn't she?" Alethea crooned as she caressed the baby's cheek with her knuckles. King Adolph nodded trying to mask his wariness. Not that he was not pleased that he finally had a child and an heir to his empire, but he was just not really pleased that it had to be a girl. The kingdom
