Chapter 83 Memories of Amouria
The Nightingale weighed anchor near the hidden kingdoms of Antilla. A secret island dedicated to religious practices. Zinjo strapped the partisan on his back, and Gael shook his head, "You can't come. The people here will tolerate one or two outsiders on their beach, but any more, and they will do everything in their power to keep us here. It is why we left the other ships behind."
"Why would they shun visitors?" Aurelia asked.
"They fear their enemies are still looking for them. I found this place by accident. Lucky for me, I had exotic goods to trade, or else they wouldn't have let me go," Gael smiled and rolled up a list. "I don't mind coming here. People don't ask too many questions."
Zinjo seemed halfway to grumpy or sad. His facial expressions made it impossible to read him at times. It mattered little in the end, as his actions often spoke louder than his words. "I wish I could come on this journey, but Ayasu would say communion with gods is a personal

Upon her return to the ship, Aurelia sought out Zinjo right away. She almost knocked the door to the cabin off its hinges. "Zinjo, get up." She jumped on him with the weight of her lion form. "Gahhhh," the air left Zinjo's lungs in a hurry. He stared up at Aurelia, desperate to catch his breath. "What in Kivuli's name is wrong with you. I am all for being surprised awake, but what is that look in your eyes?" Aurelia clasped his hand and smiled, "I spoke with Amouria, and we have to get married so I can make the bottle or bottles." Zinjo stared at her like she was from the moon, "Excuse me?" Aurelia rolled her eyes and straddled her soon-to-be husband. Soft hands ran across the muscular torso, "Amouria will anoint me during the ceremony, and it will grant me the power to forge the bottle." "Are you sure you saw your goddess?" "She let me in on what Lebende Dunkelheit has been doing," Aurelia smacked him on the chest, "What's the matter?
The Lion of Shadowfen Chapter 85 Maternal Rescue
With the wedding to occur the next day, Aurelia had little choice but to seek Zinjo out and fill him in on the situation. Tang Sai had already taken off to find out why they held Sophie. Antilla may have been half the size of Shadowfen, but it did not make the search for Zinjo any easier. Liling headed back to the boat, as she did not have combat experience or wanted to participate in such activities, "I hope you succeed, but I must think of my children." She longed to shed her human form and take to the skies as the Anzu. Her better sense told her to keep that aspect of herself hidden until she needed it. Ayasu put her hand on Aurelia's shoulder. "I sense you are conflicted about your mother's rescue." "Before the Heart's Call, we were inseparable. When it failed the first time, she backed away from me. Then when it failed a second time, she withdrew further, and our relationship eroded over time," Aurelia opened and closed the parasol. "Mothers and
The Lion of Shadowfen Chapter 86 False Goddess
Aurelia, Tang Sai, and Ayasu stared at the great cathedral. They had temples back home, but this mountain of stone and glass was a marvel of architecture. The trio donned religious robes and slipped past the guards with ease. Aurelia scowled at the death moth banners. Why would the bishop continue to worship the living darkness? The inside was almost a replica of Carmen's temple on the island, except it smelled better.People lined the pews with their heads bowed in prayer and said nothing to the heroic trio. They padded toward the rear entrance. They were ten feet away when the bishop entered the main chamber. He stood behind the twisted Pulpit and cleared his throat."What should we do?" Ayasu hissed."We need a distraction to clear the building," Aurelia watched the door, "I don't want to hurt innocent people."Tang Sai grinned wickedly and rubbed her hands together, "I have just the distraction, and you won't have to hurt anyone."Aurelia sighe
The Lion of Shadowfen Chapter 87 Reconciliation
Luckily for Aurelia, Zinjo and Nian Chose to return to the ship early that night. Gael managed to get the other ships supplied and ready for the trip back to Shadowfen. Sophie locked herself in a cabin and refused to open the door for anyone, "I have nothing further to say to my traitorous daughter," She said before the door slammed shut.Tang Sai joined Han Xin up in the crow's nest, "I sense a lot of family drama on the horizon, and I'd rather not be a part of it."Ayasu headed toward Sophie's cabin, "I will speak to her, mother to mother, perhaps she will see reason," the lioness didn't make a noise as she approached the barricaded door.Aurelia headed to the bow of the ship and leaned against the railing. She stared out into the endless waves and sighed. The princess felt the loving arms of Zinjo wrap around her waist. Aurelia leaned back and allowed her to kiss him, "How do you manage to find trouble where ever you go?" Zinjo smiled as he spoke."I d

Aurelia greeted Sojobo with a bow and smiled, "What brings you out here?" She embraced the Tengu king, who blushed at the attention.Sojobo collected himself, "A little birdie told me you were to be married. You and your groom were unique enough for me to leave the mountain for a few days." He paused and ran a finger down his long nose. "I also wanted to thank you for handling the clockwork guild. The machines have been banned, as per the order of the emperor.""I should think so. The Machines went crazy. They were using the souls of the Huli Jing to power them," Aurelia opened the parasol and slung it over her shoulder."Foolishness, the Huli Jing's power almost rivals that of the Tengu. How many people died?""I don't know. We wound up taking a hundred and fifty when we left the city. They are now on the way to Shadowfen with us, along with a pair of Huli Jing."Sojobo bowed to the princess, "The emperor did not find any survivors. He feared no o
The Lion of Shadowfen Chapter 89 Dueling hearts
The whole town of Sea Meet came out to watch their princess get married. Well, they came for the duel between Aurelia and Zinjo. At the beginning of their adventure, Aurelia felt great swarms of butterflies in her stomach at the very sight of Zinjo. The moments before the duel brought the same feeling to the princess.She peered across the dueling yard at the local guardhouse. Aurelia's enhanced hearing picked up on all the people who bet against her. Three-quarters of the crowd came to see Zinjo victorious over aurelia. Once upon a time, such actions would've crushed her spirit. Today it left her with a deep thirst to prove herself.Ayasu and Sophie approached the princess and smiled. The elder lioness held a red paste in her hand, "I will now apply the ceremonial markings." She dipped two fingers in the paste. Aurelia's nose detected fruit of some kind, "Zinjo is excited. I don't think he's stopped smiling since this morning."Ayasu smeared the thick substance

Aurelia couldn't get over how wonderful her dress looked. The black and purple lace For the last time in her life, she applied the gothic makeup the people knew so well before Zinjo entered the picture. Aurelia straightened the purple sating sweep and opened the velvet box with an amethyst choker. The Crowned veil awaited her on a nearby bench.A long-standing tradition of Shadowfen brides was to stand in front of a mirror and practice saying I do. No one is sure who started the tradition or why, but all the same, Aurelia found herself engaged in the activity.She felt rather silly at first and used a deep voice, "I do." She held her silence before she giggled at the action. "That won't do at all, will it?"Aurelia tried again. This time, she added a snobby tone. A knock at her door paused her preparations, "I'll be right there,"The door creaked open, and Tess entered with her long dirty blond hair in braids to signify she had gotten engaged. She held ou

In Celebration, the entire town of Sea Meet held a great feast for all. Jugglers and fire eaters entertained the children, and musicians played traditional wedding songs. Aurelia enjoyed the scene. Zinjo drank in every last second.Aurelia raised her hands for silence as she and Zinjo faced the crowd. She cleared her throat, "In a few short days, I will be your queen," she opened the parasol, slung it over her shoulder, and twirled it while she paced. "I have decided it is time for Shadowfen to change. For too long, we have isolated ourselves and hid from the world. I intend to change this."She motioned for Lord Nian to come forward, "Lord Nian will be assuming the role as our minister of defense. I have seen the discipline of the far east and feel Lord Nian make our soldiers a force on the continent."Lord Nian bowed, "I shall do my best to meet your expectations," Lord Nian gave a slight bow and stood next to his family."We brought some refugees from
