Myth of The Broken Throne CHAPTER 10
Astraea's POV. Zeus leads me through a corridor. I followed him till we reached the door at the end. He opened it for me and I entered the room, Zeus walking behind me. I gasped in awe. The room was so beautiful. The walls of the room were made of glass except for one on my left, which was plain-white painted. But the most panoramic and impressive things were the paintings. Numerous painted canvas was kept on the stretcher bars all around the huge room. The direct glow of the radiating sun and the fresh scent of the newly bloomed flowers had such an aesthetic effect on the overall expanse that it almost felt overwhelming. I turned back to see Zeus leaning on the closed door with arms crossed, looking at me. There was a new light lustrous in his aureate eyes. I didn't need to say a word, nor did he. The silence now was so consoling and alleviating. The canvas was all veiled under a white linen cloth. "Why cover them ?" He looked into my eyes, for once there was no barrier or gua
Myth of The Broken Throne CHAPTER 11
Astraea's POV It was already evening when I came back from Zeus's place. On the way back Roman didn't speak much about Zeus's father. But safe to say that seeing their expressions, I could assume that the man kept both the boys on their toes. And knowing them, it was a huge deal. Two hours later, Mom and Dad were back from their date. Their cute little banter took my mind from wandering back to today's event. However coming back to the comfort space of my room, the memories gushed back in. The Zeus I saw today was someone new but still, it felt like I have just seen the glimpse of him I have known all along. This pull was an earning coming from the deepest corners of my heart, one which has never been shined upon. A part of me I never realized I had. I sighed. These things only make my head hurt. I took a book off my table and fell back on the bed. Opening the book, I turned to the page where I left and started reading it. ~*~ The Cerulean clan and The Royals became the epitome o

Astraea's POV Mindlessly combing my hair while sitting in front of the mirror, I noticed the little similarities between the Queen and me.My hair was the same blonde, so was my skin tone, and the shape of my eyes-almond-like. However, she seems to make herself glow in those simple attributes. I went into my closet. Wearing a black sundress with simple heels, I was ready for the day. Emily's familiar car parked in my driveway. But I genuinely was not in the mood to entertain anything.She must have noticed the unusualness in me. "What happened to you? Is everything okay ?" I know that I couldn't hide anything from her and she was the only one I could talk to."I read the book yesterday --" "And let me guess, something is connected to your dream again. Right ?" I smiled lightly. Of course, she knows me so well.I hastily opened my bag and took out the book from it. Opening the last page, I showed her the portrait. "This...she is related. I saw her in my dream." "Well if you rea
Myth of The Broken Throne CHAPTER 13
Astraea's POV It has been a week since I have seen both Roman and Zeus. Not gonna lie the curiosity has eaten me up alive. Maybe it's related to Zeus's Dad. Opening my locker, a little card fell down. I sighed. This has been going on for the past few days. "A new love letter." Miranda chirped beside me. I flinched. "Where the hell did you come from ?" "That is not important. Come on open it." I looked at her and narrowed my eyes."What ?"I gave her one of my stinky eyes look. "You don't want to open it in front of me ?" She said "Why are you so excited Miranda ?" "Oh come on, it's not every day your friend gets cute love confessions." "Well, I do get it every day." "Yes we know, but open it will ya ?" Emily said suddenly appearing beside me. I reluctantly opened the letter as both of them literally pushed their heads inside my locker to read it. "Love ceases to be a pleasure when it ceases to be a secret."Maybe this is why I want to be your secret and admire you from afa
Myth of The Broken Throne CHAPTER 14
Astraea's POV Like a raging storm, he entered and all the focus was shifted. He climbed the aisle with silent steps, but ironically his silence seemed of an infuriated wolf. The silent killer. He took the only empty seat beside me and settled down. Ms. Brendon kept staring at him and so did he. But it didn't last long as Ms. Brendon backed away from the staring contest. "Thank you, Ms. Kingston. You may take your seat." I was literally confused on why she hasn't said anything to Zeus when he barged into the class like that. But that was the least of my worries. From the corner of my eyes, I observed him. He simply played with the ring on his finger. My eyes moved through his figure. His black hoodies with black slacks made him look so dangerously hot. The same messy hair, like he just ran straight from his house after waking up. I knew he could feel my gaze but he never, not even once looked at me. Sudden suffocation was burning through every pour of my heart in the desperation t
Myth of The Broken Throne CHAPTER 15
Astraea's POV The evening sun hid under the bright clouds. The darkness of the night enclosed the view of my window. It was already midnight and sleep was still the last thing on my mind. The portrait in my hands shines under the bright moonlight. The mystery hidden under the disguise of this painted warrior was messing with every part of my head. The search for the truth always ended with a dead end. I knew that somehow there was a connection with all these unexplainable happenings. But the source was concealed under the cloak of a cryptic enigma. But I can't just sit and admire the moonlight while thinking about the circumstance being woven into a mess. There wasn't a single part of my life except for my parents and Emily, who were normal. But how long will they stay apart? Who will assure me that they won't somehow get entangled in the mess? No, I really can't wait for the riddle to get solved. I had to do something, even if it meant knocking on every dead end. I took a blu
Myth of The Broken Throne CHAPTER 16
Astraea's POV My breath hitched as I counted on the possibility of getting slashed under so many wild paws. Will they even give me time to feel pain or will I be dead before I could feel anything? Clink... The forgotten knife fell on the grass near my leg. Hastily picking it up I pointed it towards the pack of the wolves. Even though they were standing on the other side of the lake, there was a high chance they could swim toward us. I was afraid to move and not wanting to show my fear, I firmly stood my ground.They weren't as big as Coffee, but that still wasn't comforting enough. One of them growled as it moved a little forward, its black eyes were penetrating into mine. Those sharp canines were covered with drool. They are really going to eat me, aren't they? The view, however, was blocked by the furry beast beside me. Coffee stood before me and howled so loudly that it made me shriek. I put my hands on my mouth to stop myself from screaming. Slowly, I took steps back. I wa
Myth of The Broken Throne CHAPTER 17
Astraea's POV The cold increased near my neck like invisible frost-lapped hands were choking me. I yelped in pain and immediately shut my mouth with my hands. If Zeus or the girl saw me in this state, I really won't know how to explain them. Pulling myself together, I stumbled down the corridor. The biting icy feeling was slowly spreading throughout my body and paralyzing me. Yet, I walked and dragged myself till the huge door of the old library came into view. The university was almost empty and students don't use this library much. Hence, no one is going to be here. I pushed open the huge oak door, and the light of the corridor dived through the little opening into the cold, dark room. I collapsed near the bench. Taking deep breaths I tried to calm my heart.Essence is the part of the soul. I remembered.If the words are true and not a myth, if these blue flames are truly part of what I believe they were, then I am bound to control them. I have to. For a moment, I tried to forg
