To all Asian children there, you most likely already know what happened to dear Xander. *sigh. When he didn't have anything to do, he was forced to kneel with his arms raised above his head. Poor Xander. These days have been quite similar. Though we were, thankfully, excluded from the whole private between-us-only relationship. Once Xander was done with his duty we would always go out on dates, and maybe a few make-out sessions here and there.I've been staying a lot at Xander's place. So much so that at least half of my clothes are at his place and I already have my daily necessities there. It's like I'm already basically living there. But there are things that have been concerning me these days. Not in the mortal world but rather back home, the world of hex and myths. The wind, it's whispering, it's anticipating war, blood, and cries of pain in my home. I need to go home. I don't know what to tell them. Whether I should tell them the truth? How I should tell them the truth?I just c
Ah. I've been dreading the part ever since I found out about the news. I am now about to have a real one-on-one talk with Xander. I'm about to tell him the truth, right now. I took a deep breath before I realized something and started panicking. Oh, my goddess! I'm about to tell him the truth! Oh, goddesses. Fuck. Fuck. What am I going to do?!Okay. Breath in breath out, Lilan. Let's all calm down. You can talk to him in the same manner when you talked to Clarise. Shit! No, this is a whole lot different from talking with Clarise! This is Xander who we're talking about! "Hey, you okay?" Xander suddenly approached me and it scared the shit out of me. "What? Oh, yeah. Yeah. I'm totally fine!" I said laughing awkwardly. Okay, Lilan. Since he's here now might as well talk to him, right? Okay. Here goes nothing! "Hey, um Xan. I have something to talk to you about." I said stuttering out of the nervousness I was feeling. "Huh? Yeah, sure. Is there something wrong?" He said again with the sa
"Try to maintain the composure of your breathing, remember that your emotions can jeopardize the flow of magic in your system," I said, guiding Xander. We've been in my dome all afternoon. But, I'm impressed! He's a rather fast learner, but still, there's just so much I could do in a day of training. At least he is now able to control it by himself and conjure his gift at will."Now, slowly feel your energy seep through your veins and onto your finger. Open steadily let your magic flow out of it. Don't be afraid. Feel that sensation of magic going out of you. Focus on positive memories, we can't have you losing control over your emotions." I said, walking around him to assess how he's doing so far.I suddenly saw him flinch, then shudder. I knew instantly what was to come. He's losing control again. I knew it will be very difficult the moment I knew what his affinity was. Being a dark warlock meant his powers are immensely aggressive. And if that person with this certain affinity does
I am now back. I'm finally home. Home to my birth land. My world. My future kingdom.The other side of the passage opened up in the thick forest of ice, found in between the Water and Air kingdoms.When I finally landed both my feet on the other side of the portal, I could hear the familiar buzz of the wings of fairies. The scent of snow came rushing into my nose, carrying the smell of trees and magic.I could feel the peering eyes of the little ice fairies watching me. Well, I couldn't blame them really. It wasn't every day that you would a dimension skipper coming back from whatever world they came from.I chuckled lightly as I heard the faint whispers of them discussing who I was. When I pulled down my hood, I heard their gasps."My goddess! It's the one and only princess of the Air kingdom! She must've heard the news of the war coming from the winds!" They said in whispers in their tiny pitched voices.So I was right, after all, there was indeed war coming. A blood bath. I continu
Xander's POVWhat is this place? Wow! it's so beautiful! When I followed Lilan to this weird portal of some sort, I never imagined this would be what was on the other side! I am still following Lilan when we reached some gigantic, medieval period type of castle. This must be the castle that she lives in. She did mention she was a princess of some kingdom. I heard some faint whispers when I looked back I saw some little blue fairies, they shined beautifully when reflected by the sun. They looked like Ice, no, glaciers. Glacier Fairies!WOW, just magnificent! Lilan continued walking straight ahead but I stopped following her at some distance from the castle, still making sure not to be seen by the guards. When she reached the courtyard and was finally noticed by the maids, she greeted them so humbly and happily. By the looks of it, I think even before she came to Earth she's always been kind. And here I was thinking that she came to our world because of some attitude problems and was c
Lilan's POVIt's been a few days since I've come back. Throughout I've been busy getting ready for my upcoming coronation, although legally I am already the queen of the Air Kingdom what's left needed is the coronation ball and all those fancy publicity appearances to appease the other nobles. But when I heard the announcement of attacks in the Fire Kingdom, I knew I had to go there instantly. Help them and lead my kingdom and the others to victory and safety. Hence, The coronation was done in a rush. No balls. Not anything fancy schmancy. The following day I immediately ordered the knights to set out on the borders of our kingdom, of course, supervised by the leaders of each of their groups.I instantly set out to go to the Fire Kingdom, together with a few of my own army soldiers, to help with the war. Macy their newly crowned queen and a good friend of mine are leading all of them, together with the leaders of the other kingdoms. A few miles from the kingdom, the winds are crying,
Xander's POVIt has been three days since I heard the news of Lilan setting out for the Fire Kingdom to help in the war. The soldiers patrolling the kingdom including the borders have been quite tense so much that even the villagers have become nervous. They were given the orders to be meticulous with their work, if they have been before they have to do it twice more than before. I've been so worried about Lilan ever since she left that I have been tossing and turning in my sleep. She's out there fighting for the well-being of her kingdom and the people that she cares about while I'm here not being able to do anything for the woman I love. I should be able to do something, no, I have to do something, anything for her. To end her suffering more because of the war.But because of the war, I really can't do much if I were to be caught I'll be hanged in the middle of the town for everyone to see, and have my head chopped off and displayed on the kingdom walls as a tribute to both warrior
Lilan's POVThis is getting way out of hand. The battlefield is drenched in blood, bodies are found in every inch, and dying moans have become a norm. In every whip of your head you'll see dozens, if not, hundreds of bodies now a mix of warlocks, witches, wolves, and fairies. Hope has been long gone in the eyes of soldiers. This has come too far. When night falls and the light of the moon comes and shines over us, that is the time we are being pushed back and even now we can't do anything. We witches and fairies are sorcerers that take life from the sun, while warlocks and werewolves take them from the moon.Our forces are weakening. Hope has been long gone in the eyes of the soldiers. I can't let this continue on. I can't let my kingdom, my world suffer when I could obviously do something for them. I must do something.When the day came, the most I could do was pep talk them into having the will to even fight and not just run off to the field to commit suicide. Encouragement did no
