The blast whirl of sand blows down the empty land of south Neitheria. The place is arid, dusty, and dry. The voice of the harsh winds echo through the unseen horizon beyond the starry night with only the smiling moon as its light. Behind these spectacular view, seven shadows of people in red cloaks are sighted standing in the middle of the borders…
“What a sight! They really are going all out tonight, huh?”
“Hey, are you hiding with your tail in front, Matt?”
“NO! You should be—“
“Everyone…”
“ARE YOU READY TO RUN WILD?”
The six look at the person in their middle with adornment. It was Conri in his werewolf form, whitest and mischievous looking at the battalion of Lighten armies. “Now…”, he raises both of his hands heightening the excitement everyone is feeling. “Let’s run free!”---
Everyone scatters shouting from the ends of their breath. Each of Conri’s squad take on one army on their own and face them with bewilderment. On the left side of the battle, Calamity and chaos are indeed taking control of the field. Matteo, he is a wielder of an earth element. He defeats the foes with ease using his earth bending technique, breaking the land in two and molding the sands in boulders and extravagantly throwing them to the scaredy-cat Lightens running from the big boulders falling like meteors to them. There is also, Ceire who controls the wind and Athena who wields the elements of fire, turning every part of the battlefield as molten lava flowing to the enemies’ bodies.
“Woah, they are evil! Right, Royu?”
“Shut it, Esca!”
Royu controls the thunderous lightning and Esca wields the element of water that can freeze her opponents in ice. They run havoc in the right side of the battle field conquering the enemies with no single life remains. While, in the middle of the battlefield, Conri rages in insanity, running wild breaking every bone of his foe…
“You’re as mad as ever, Con.”
“Rai…”Conri smirks at the maiden behind him. It was Risse, a beast tamer. She can tame anyone just by letting them look at her tantalizing purple eyes.
“Rai, behind you!”—Conri rush to grab her in his arms and bite the foe to its bone with his sharp fangs until his fangs detach the Lighten’s shoulders from its body. “Careful…”
“Oh!” Risse frost for at the moment while keeping her heartbeats beat loudly, ”I’m sorry.”
“HELL, THE ENEMY IS ESCAPING!”
The five chase the escaping Lighten and manage to block him from his way. They laugh at him devilishly. “Yah, Con almost let a witness escape.” They look at the poor Lighten shrieking in fear and stamp on his chest. “Yo, did you really think you can escape if you sacrifice a part of your body?”
“You, a-all…a…all of y-you! I must tell th-this t-to t-the r-ruler…” The Lighten coughs in blood trying to resist from the five beings.
“This is hilarious! He really thinks he can still live after this.” Matteo grab the Lighten’s head and let him see the battlefield. “See?”
The southern borders is covered with blood and corpses of the defeated battalion. The sand is all red, dark, and stinky. The battle has almost ended and the sight has brought pleasure to the victorious squad. “See?’’
“c-Cr-cro-crossbr-…crossbreeds…I-“ Matteo strikes him to death with his sharp stone mold. “That ends it here.”, Matteo satisfyingly said while looking at the dead Lighten.
“No, there’s still another one. Esca, capture him.” Conri ordered. “He is entering the borders on your right. Kill him.” Esca molds an ice archer and deliver the bow to the remaining Lighten running from the reaper of death. “Amazing! Your smell is really amazing, Con!”
“Well, he is just the son of the strongest werewolf. And, his mother is a crossbreed.” Risse exclaims with pride.
“Even if he’s a half-crossbreed, his ability is still above us. Ugh! I can’t stop from admiring you, King!” Esca jumps to Conri’s arms and hugs him.
“Well done, Esca!” Conri pats her head gently while looking at the battlefield. He saw the captured Lighten in his peripheral view, struggling from the attached ice bow in his left knee. He runs towards it and, “Hey…”
The captured lighten is shocked and cannot even move a single step from where he is. “Don’t bother thinking about getting out from here alive.” Conri growls…
“Cr-crossbreeds…You a-are in-indeed a c-catastrophe…Y-you must vanish or else…I must inform them-“
“Do you know what? Why crossbreeds remain legends?”
“Yo-“
“It’s because…no one has ever lived after seeing them.”
“Ug----kkk!” Conri pulls the ice bow from the Lighten’s knee and watches him slowly losing his breath.
"Con, is it not done yet?" Royu flashes in front him like a flowing soundless lightning.
"Yeah, let's go. Where is everyone?" Conri asks.
"Matt is already cleaning the mess. What should we do after this?"
"Collect all the weapons..."
"What? We don't need them though." Athena appears out of nowhere and joins the conversation.
"We will give them to the bandits in the north. It will help them protect themselves.." Conri explains.
They go to the stinky leftovers of the battle and starts to collect the weapons that the Lighten enemies have left. Risse, on the other hand...
"I heard you're getting married?"
"Yeah, I am."
"What's the tea? It's very unusual for you to decide on something in a rush manner." she stands beside Conri who is taking a break from his battle, tending the fresh wounds he got.
"S-she's a crossbreed... but a different one."
"What do you mean?" Risse asks while helping him cleans his wounds. Risse is also a Galen, a healer.
"Her scent is different from you a-all...You know I can distinguish a race just based on their scents, and hers is very unique. I..I--"
"Did you think she can help you with your revenge?"
"Yeah.. she just needs cultivation. I'm planning to help her control her powers if we got married."
"You're cruel, taking advantage of a maiden's heart just to get what you desire..."
"Rai..."
"Okey, okey! Just what the hell did you see in her? We can help you too, and we have been doing that since--"
"Since mother died? I know, I know. You six are the young crossbreeds she have saved from the Lightens."
"Your mother is so brave...and...strong! She's a great crossbreed."
"If only she didn't help that girl..." Conri is burning from rage. His white fur is getting longer from anger that is trying to get out from his entity.
"Con..." Risse looks at him with sympathy. She felt sorry for the wolf king's past.
"Uwaaakkk! uwaakkk! uwakkk!" A messenger flies in circles in the dawning skies of the south borders. The squad notice it and look at where it's going to land.
"A messenger..." Conri confusingly raise his right arm to let the messenger crow lands on him. It has a piece of loincloth in it's left claw. Conri grabs it and open it.
"What does it say?" Esca asks.
Thunderstruck, Conri remains calm and manages to send their last command. "Go to the north and deliver the weapons to the bandits. Careful on your way." Conri transforms in his whole wolf form and howls loudly that echoes to the ends of the horizon. The sun is almost rising...
"H-hey...wher--"
"A ruler has visit the realm! I must return to the castle!" Conri immediately runs to the vast land of nothing but sands and heads to east where the sun's rising. A beautiful white wolf's shadow is casting the rays of the first gaping of the daylight.
"Aria, I hope you're safe."
How long has it been?How long has it been since the intruder arrived at the fearsome land of the dreadful beasts? Aria has long been accustomed to the surroundings. She no longer whines and get scared over odd and peculiar things around her.It is the third night after their wedding. The room's corner is filled with different books and there, lying in her soft pillowcase is the new queen of Neitheria. Aria is reading a book about pleasuring one's husband. Odd, isn't it?"I have decided to accept my fate!" there she said it. She thinks that there's no point going against her destiny. Conri also offer her strength and will protect her for all his life. But she didn't know that his vow is an empty promise. His hidden desires is buried to the deepest of his soul that Aria couldn't sense any of it."Oh! Honeymoon? What is this food?" she excitedly asks.In the mortal realm, specifically for elites, Honeymoon is a luxurious period of harmony for a newly
A fragile royal glass has fallen to ground that creates a trembling noise of a surprise. Conri is standing on his throne with his eyes and mouth wide open. He seems shocked over something. The servants are bowing to the ground, shivers in fear. The terror of the Darken King envelopes the whole hall..."W-what did you say?"mutters KIng Conri to the man in kneeling in front of him."You have heard it right, my Liege. The siblings were sent out of the clinic room before your wed and your cousin was there to pick them up. But..."His fists clinches in rage. He doesn't know how things ended when he even raise the security for everyone's safety. He remembers his wife. Aria has been looking for the two servants ever since he separated the three."Alright...Let's just assume that the two are with the company of Fabien. I'll look at things here. Thank you for informing me.""As you wish, my Liege." the hell soldier bows."...Also-" utters Conri. "Thi
Encantos are celestial beings that has been living with us in a parallel world. They take on the same physiques as mortals but they similarly homogenize with fairies. They live in a world just the same as us but the only difference is that, they are unseen to those unworthy to see them.Lord Fabien and Lucia is following the encantos who let themselves revealed. They walk to the brown and drab path between the autumn trees. The air is cold but the sun is out keeping its hotness to the ground.As they walk, the two spot odd animals on the way. A very friendly skvader has been following them since they enter the cold forest. It has a peasant body and a pair of wings as an epitome of an eagle. Lucia sometimes look back with adornment in her eyes, taking a sneak peak to the skvader behind the trees."What is it doing?" asks Lucia to the Encantos."Oh, it's Peter. He must be curious of your presence." explains the Encanto. "I'm Lieve. I am the leader of our sq
The most awaited day has come and the penalry of the nether world rejoices in triumph..."The crowd is gathering! I can't believe Con is really getting married, Royu." Esca showers crystal waters in the venue while sneakily snatches drinks and foods on the tables."What are you doing, Esca? You're drunk!" Royu accompanies her as they guards the internal venue and the rest on the boundaries. Apparently, Conri seems unsatisfied and wants to strengthens the security in the ceremony for some unexplainable reasons."I'm not. Why would you say that?" slumps Esca not too far from the Hinterhof. They limit themselves from being seen by the Darkens who come to the ceremony."You're slumping! Stop it, release the alcohol in your body!" complains the bothered Royu as he drags the tipsy Esca out of the line of sight of the people."Oh, is this a bird?" Esca amazingly points on the flying creature."NO, it's a butterfly you idiot!"It is a summer
Unknown of the other vicious event, Conri and Aria are having a special night under the touch of the lovely half moon. Turning back to the time when King Conri gifted her the dress, a message was also left behind to the cloth which says to meet him in the top of the castle when the first half moon appears, night before the awaited day. And, now... The dimlights casted by the moon sparkles the alexandrite stone castle. They stay in a turret where the moon is widely open. Conri prepares the red blanket where he sprinkles it with white rose petals. He surrounds the blanket with small lit-up candles and a tray of crimson grapes and green apples. The air is cold but the ambiance gives a hot, romantic vibes, especially when Aria finally arrives at the spot wearing a fitted midi satin slip white dress with a spaghetti strap. "H-hi..." "Oh, you have arrived. Come! Sit with me." Conri takes her hand and guides her to his side. Aria seems confused at the romant
W-what is this place?" the dark place echoes an adenoidal, breathy, disembodied tiny voice from afar. Splashes of waters are heard as the black bats chirps hanging above the walls."I-it's so dark.""Aw, thank you. Y-you have such an amazing ability."The echoed sound of the disembodied voices are coming nearer and louder. The loud splashes of waters has stopped as if someone has been walking in the waters awhile ago. The ray of a torching light that traverse the rough path created by tap roots is getting bigger and lighter."We're under the old tree, isn't it Lord Fabien?""Yeah, it seems that way, looking at this big arm roots and the structure of the walls above." Fabien moves the waning torch to the surroundings."I feel like we've been wandering here for ages already. Are y-you sure that my little sister is here?" Lucia says in a brittle tone. She is terribly shaking in cold behind the werewolf hell general. They are walking step by ste
