로그인The Ten were in session when the Noxbinder came in with a Noxala. “Sire, this Noxala brings news from Wolf Kingdom.” The Noxbinder said. “What news do those fools have?” A lord wondered aloud. “Speak!” Dusk ordered. The bird began to give it’s message. The room fell silent and every face paled. Then chaos descended as every lord began to panic. Dusk raised his voice to call them to order. “How is this possible?” Elena asked, “we did as the Goddess asked. How could Lupus Tenebris still be so powerful?” Dusk shifted uncomfortably in his chair. “Perhaps we should have performed the ceremony.” A lord said. “What do you mean? We did, didn’t we?” Elena frowned. “No my lady. We felt the wolves where rambling so we decided not to.” Another lord explained. Elena look at her husband and Feng. Both refused to meet her outraged eyes. “It dosen’t matter.” Dusk said dismissively. “Lupus Tenebris won’t dare come here.” “Are you sure?” A lord mummured. “Zombie Kingdom is stron
“I can’t believe you would want that ugly disgusting thing in our palace.” Mona said, cornering Jerry as he made his way to the conference room. “And I can’t believe you would be so mean to a child in public.” Jerry snapped. “A Luna is supposed to have compassion. Luckily there was a pack member who had it. Maybe you should learn some from her.” Mona’s face reddened. “How dare you suggest that worthless thing is better than me!” She fumed. “I don’t have time for this. In case you didn’t hear, Zombie Kingdom has fallen and we maybe next.” He walked past her. She glared at him hatefully. “Well done.” Frank said coming up behind her, “you seem determine to push him away, keep this up and you will.” “But father –“ “I have an important meeting to attend, I’m sure you are not too childish to understand that.” He pushed past her, boiling she marched to her room. As soon as Jerry sat down all the Alpha’s began talking at once, each one anxious to offer a solution to the cr
"Oh, hello." Roydo smiled at her."Fina! Come here." Her mother hissed. Toby tried tugging her away.Seraphina yelled and stubbornly held on."I think the Goddess is trying to tell us something." The priest muttered."I agree." Jerry nodded. "Toby, is seems your little one has taken a liking to the boy. Will you allow him stay with you? It will be for a little while, till we get him other accommodation.""Why are you asking? You should be ordering him." Mona snapped.Jerry glared at her to be quiet."Mona!" Frank hissed.Toby hesitated. "I have no objections Alpha, but it's not my house alone. My wife has a say too." He turned to Anna. "Would you allow it my dear?"All eyes turned to Anna. She winced. She didn't want the abnormal look boy in her home, but she couldn't refuse without looking bad. Thanks to Seraphina."He is welcome to stay. Since it will be for a little while." She said reluctantly."Thank you." Roydo said shyly.Seraphina smiled and raised her hands up at him. Laughin
By the time Nic reached the courtyard the place was packed. Every wolf had heard the gong and come out. He noticed the crowd seemed to be gathered around something, or someone in the middle. He strained to see but couldn't. He gave up. He'd find out soon enough.Jerry and the pack alpha's had also heard the commotion and they all came into the courtyard."What's going on here?" Jerry demanded.A guard stepped forward. "Sire, this boy was caught trying to enter the kingdom. He says he is a prince." The guard forcefully parted the crowd. A dirty, ragged, tired-looking boy stood in the middle, an unconscious child cradled in his arms. The child he carried was unmistakably a zombie, but the boy himself was different. Though he bore the features of a zombie, he lacked their gray skin, and one of his eyes was completely black."Who are you?" Jerry asked."Sire, I am Prince Roydo, son of King Corpa of Zombie Kingdom. This is my brother Tok."A murmur rippled through the crowd. Most had hea
It was exactly as Ruto had predicted. His father listened to him with a bored and annoyed expression then said sharply,“So? That arrogant oaf wants his son to marry the daughter of another oaf, why should it bother you? Don’t you have better things to occupy yourself with?” “Father weren’t you listening to me? Fira and I love each –““Love is for idiots and common fools.” His father snapped. “You are a noble. Never mind our pack isn’t well to do, I know it will change one day. Till then, concern yourself with gaining more glory and not the affairs of our enemies. Dennis can trade his whole pack from a bride if he likes. Better for us if he using his grain to get wives for his sons. He will soon run out of resources and be as poor as a Zombie field mouse.” He laughed.“Father please. Fira can’t marry Som. Let’s offer more grain to Alpha Gorey. He would reject Dennis’ offer and Fira and I can get married.” Nic suggested.His father gaped at him.“Are you out of your senses? How can y
"Ruto, I wasn't expecting you." Nic told his brother."I know. I came to wish you luck, but met your Retainer who told me you went to find some limestone to shine your sword. Is that true?"Nic almost rolled his eyes. Had his Retainer forgotten the lie?"Yes. It is true. My sword needed a little more sharpness.""Where is the limestone?" Ruto asked staring at his empty hands."I didn't find any.""Really? Oh wait," he slapped his forehead. "Your Retainer actually said you went to relieve yourself, so which is it?"Nic stared at him, realizing he had been tricked. Ruto laughed."You know, I don't think you went to do either, I think you went to see Alpha Goreys' pretty daughter. Am I right?""Keep your voice down. If you already know why ask?" Nic said, sitting on the bed beside him.""I want to see your blush when you talk about her." He laughed again.Nic playfully punched his arm."She came to wish me luck," Nic explained, "and she gave me this." He brought out the fan, from where h
Judy gasped as shadows burst from the mountain itself, twisting through the air like living smoke before slowly coiling around her body. For a moment she felt invincible and stronger than she had ever been. At first she welcomed the power flooding her veins, hot and intoxicating. She could
Now as Toby looked at his laughing daughter, he again wondered how she’d gotten up that tree. “We are the only ones at home right?” He asked Anna. “Of course, why?” “Well,” Toby said carefully, “if no one else is here, and neither of us put her on the table, then it means she climbed up herself.
Corpa listened to their news with an angry frown. “Are you saying killing this thing would invite disaster in the kingdom?” He asked finally. “Killing the child, will invite disaster upon the land.” Donton nodded. “Are you sure you are not misinterpreting that scroll?” Nessa scoffed. “ It mi
For days, Donton locked himself in the library, reading book after book, scroll after scroll, searching for any record of the prince’s ailment. The Master of the Library, whom he had confided in, joined the search. But a week passed with no answers. “Nothing,” the Master said at last, slamming a b
