AriusHaving dreams of Themis turning into a giant cat and eating me for breaking the marriage bargain has been giving me sleepless nights for days since I heard that my dearest wife has made friends with a cat of that kind. Hearing and seeing are two different things and seeing the cat behind my wife, acting like my wife would protect her from all was frightening, especially since Gwenn was already bonded with this cat. I don’t think there was another reason why she would kill a warrior because of her pet. “Gwenn.” I greeted with a smile. “You haven’t been home for an hour and we are already without a warrior.” I said as I folded my hand across my chest. “Arius, I have been gone for only two weeks but it seems like everybody already forgot my temper when those I love are threatened.” She responded mimicking my posture. Arius eyes went to Sorens who stood up and came clos

Kastav PovThe time was right, there is discord between the king and the queen. Now was the best time for me to act. To bring myself closer to the throne. My blood was better than his, Yet he remained my father’s favorite, I had the best marks in everything we did. I was better than him and yet just because of the love for his mother, he became king while I was stuck as a prince. We were born the same day but I was cursed not to reach the king’s post. I was meant to only see it. Even curses can be changed. I formed out of the shadows of my father’s room as I watched while he struggled to breathe. Give it a few more weeks and he would be no more. That was the position, I place him in. To be slowly wasting away while not be able to do anything and knowing that there was no salvation coming, just death. Well death was here, in form of his younger heir to the throne. I needed to remove this Yama and cause havoc between my brother

“What are you saying Silana?” I asked her as my heart thumped in my chest. There was no way in which she could be right, snow doesn’t fall in Northshore but I do know that following the time frame and all, Snow would have just melted and the baby would still be tiny, why would they start travelling now?  Yes I knew that I was important to them as I am their family just like they were mine but I still didn’t see it as enough reason for them to take the risk which they would take if they were here. “Themis, the lady with the completely white hair and old eyes, eyes that look like they can peer right into your heart and Orel. The man who is cradling a small Miniature version of him, at least the black hair matched, with the fiercest face and an angry scowl on his face unless when he looks at the child or his white lady. Those two people. You know them right?” Silana asked and I nodded, speechless. “They are in the hallway, on their way to the throne room, th

Dinner that evening was something else but at least Catia, Vala and Vestia had enough preservation spirit in them to keep their mouth shut for the first part. I had almost thought that Arius warned them, including consequences of what their words and actions might mean for them but then again, when Sorens entered the room and smiled at me before sitting, it proved too much for them. “How long are we going to continue enduring the presence of this person at our table?” Vala started wrinkling her nose to show her distaste for the situation. “Vala, please Father was just laid to rest, don’t start up with this.” Severa begged, I honestly don’t know how she and Silana managed to share the same father with the rest of their siblings, they were the only good ones out of the whole lot.“Exactly, I just lost my father, I am grieving. There should not be something that will stress me out or make me mad right now. Queen Gwenn…” She started. “The next w

Kastav PovPissed off was a word which didn’t describe the way I truly felt, it was not enough and I was basically fuming, when I saw Sorens while I was in my mist form again, I didn’t think of it and I continued to my room, as soon as I entered and shut the door, I threw my table at it in anger. How dare he pull the Yama card on me? Father has been dead for less than a week and he was already wanting to punish Catia, Who gave him that right?It didn’t matter that Catia was a little out of line but then again when is that girl not always out of line besides, it was the foreigner’s fault. They all were exactly the same, Gwenn, Themis all of them, none of them had a right to be here in Northshore and be talking about issues which doesn’t concern them. Catia life was not related to Themis concern at all. She should have kept her mouth shut. I hate being powerless and not being able to do anything, not just that but having no choice to stomach Arius r
