The battle was over with Edmunds twisted and returned dark force was finally over. The smell of magic filled the air. The earth still trembled with magic. The people were happy and cries of victory filled the air. Lyon stood on the battlefield surrounded by the wreckage from the war and the bodies of his people. Though the loss wasn't so much, still they had lost some people.The kingdom was safe and the trust of his people in him was renewed. Lyon could feel it in him that the curse that had begun the problem in the kingdom had finally been defeated and there was a kind of lightness in his body.For the first time in his lifetime, Lyon could feel that a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulder.As they were putting final touches to the repairs after the battle, a strange feeling of calmness settled over Lyon. He knew something strange was happening within him. There was a shift almost like he was experiencing his soul being renewed, even though he couldn't place what exactly was
Now that Lyon had the support of his people, his mind raced faster than he could on his feet. He had done all that could be done to prepare for the battle ahead. But deep in his heart, he knew that fighting dark magic was something that can never be predicted no matter how prepared you are. He knew that Drake was biding his time, watching and waiting for the right time to strike.Elora stood, always by his side. Grounding him. She rested her arm gently on his. Even she could sense that this wasn't going to be just any ordinary battle. This battle was more than just a fight. It was everything, the curse, the power, the fear. All of it had brought them to where they were today.“Hey mate, are you good?” she asked. Even though she did her best to sound calm, Lyon could sense the unease in her voice.“I'm fine,” Lyon nodded. Even though what he felt was far from fine.“Was just... thinking.”“About him?” Elora asked as she stared far into empty space. Her thoughts had been filled with Edm
The day had just started and Lyon needed to attend to a couple of things. He had called for a meeting with members of the council and he knew that with Edmund Drake back, he needed to make sure that the warriors were ready. He had also sent messengers across to Seraphina and her husband Leandro. As his instincts told him that the enemy was definitely going to strike sooner than they expected and he needed people whom he could trust around him. Though he had Elora, he also needed Seraphina too as she was much more experienced in the use of her magic.Everything that Caelan has said to him yesterday was still going through his mind as he paced to and fro in the kingdom palace. His mind was not at rest at all.The words Caelan had said to him still very clear in his mind. “You must give up the very power that has defined your bloodline, the power of the Pure Alpha. You will no longer be the ruler of the kingdom. You will no longer have the strength that comes with the curse. The questi
Chapter: A Hidden AllyLyon was very shaken. They had returned from the search on the eastern border a few days ago and he couldn't get the income out of his mind. He sat on a chair in his room, one hand resting on the oak table in the room while the other hand was mindlessly ruffling his hair as he was deep in thought.Suddenly Isabella and Seraphina walked into his room especially as he had left it open. They both had worried looks on their faces.Lyon looked up at them and only acknowledged them with a nod.“Lyon, Seraphina and I have been trying to make sense of Eve that you have told us about the figure at the eastern border of the kingdom,” Isabella said.“I can't believe that Edmund Drake is somehow alive.” “Are you sure it was Edmund Drake?” Seraphina asked,confused.Elora entered the room just then, her footsteps soft against the stone floor.“How are we supposed to fight this?” Elora asked no one in particular. “This is still very hard to believe, though he mentions someth
Finally for Lyon, the curse had been broken. And the storm was over. The people had begun to trust him again, and everything was getting back to normal. All he wanted for this peace to continue but little did he know that there were more storms ahead.Elora was standing by his side. They both looked out the palace balcony. Watching the children sparing playfully under the sun. They had both been Theo so much together, and now, Lyon just wanted a chance at peace.“I'm glad that all of this is over. Everything about the curse. Though it's so strange how even the first battles and my father's sacrifice still wasn't enough to end it.” Lyon said.“Anyways I'm happy to see this day of peace after all the doubts and fear. It feels like a lifetime ago.”“Very true Lyon,” Elora said. “We've all come this far together. The kingdom is healing, though it takes time, and trust is something that has to be earned.”“I know,” Lyon replied, I'm just glad that we are finally on the right path. We've fa
The battle had been won, but now it was left for the kingdom to be rebuilt. They had fought like true warriors, with strength and with Lyon and Elora’s magic but now,they needed to fight for the heart and the minds of the people. The unity they had once shared then unity that had held the kingdom together had been fractured by Lyon's power outburst and now there was so much work to be done as he needed to reassure his people. As there had been so much fear and doubts in their hearts.Lyon stood watching as the council members gathered. Their faces masked with concern, each of them wondering if the peace they had enjoyed for years could be restored. Lyon had won the Battle yes, but then the rebuilding of the kingdom was going to be his true test of responsibility and that made his heart heavy.“Hey son,” Isabella called out to Lyon in a soft voice. “I can sense a heaviness in your heart. And I dony want you bother I so much about it. You have proven yourself to be worthy. The people
