--The Nydisian Kingdom, Eraregord, Othes Forest--Katherine looked up to see his red eyes staring into the fire. It wasn't until now that she noticed the slight scar on his lip. It was a thin line that crossed on the very edge of his upper lip.As if knowing what she was staring out he looked down and caught her gaze. She quickly averted her gaze and looked to where Llewellyn was once standing as he walked into the forest.Lucian was still seated calmly behind her with his back against one of the trees and with her seated directly in front of him, her back to his chest.Being unable to bear the silence, Katherine finally spoke, "Tell me a story,""Milord," She quickly added wanting to remain respectful.His already deep voice was low and sounded like a hum, "You have to be more specific than that, do you wish to hear about the tales of the creatures below sea level or the creatures that plague the earth realm,"Kather

--The Nydisian Kingdom, Eraregord, Othes Forest--Katherine could feel the warm breeze of the summer sun brush against her skin.She was slightly awake but her eyes remained closed. She began thinking of what Lucian and her talked about last night and truthfully, she was genuinely worried.Worried that she was supposed to rule a kingdom full of all these creatures yet she was nothing but ordinary.When she first arrived at the castle a week ago, she was adamant about returning home but the more time she spent at the castle, unknowingly the need to stay there grew.Katherine was still dazed with sleep but the sound of gnawing skin kept disturbing her sleep. Slowly, she opened her eyes and saw Lleweelyn feeding on what looked like a deer.There was something in the way he fed that frightened her. His eyes were filled with hunger and with blackness and only the rim of his natural red eye colour could be seen.Katherine s

--The Nydisian Kingdom, Eraregord, Royal Academy--"Dane, comprise a list of your best students and have them submit their names to be before tomorrow at noon," Lucian ordered as he took a seat in the headmaster's study.Dane was a tall yet lean man with olive skin tone and piercing red eyes, the colour eyes most vampires seemed to have."Consider it done, Milord. Do you still wish to hold the tournament?" The headmaster, Dane, asked. His Highness had sent word to him a few days ago that he'd be arriving in a week's time to gather the academy's best as well as strongest fighters."Yes, we'll take them based on ranking but make it quick, I can't stay here for long." Dane nodded in understanding before leaving the room to tell one of his subordinates to get started on the announcement to the students.When Dane left the room, Lucian turned to Llewellyn and spoke, "More and more people are starting to believe the throne has been corru

--The Nydisian Kingdom, Eraregord, Royal Academy--Courtesy of Lucian, who had gone back to the castle two days, he had Llewellyn organize and go through the participants of the tournament, leaving Katherine in Llewellyn's care until he returned. Katherine, however, was partially glad she didn't have to see or speak with Lucian for some time.She walked into the private dining hall that was on a higher floor than the main dining hall. The sun shone through the large glass montage and glowed up the entire private room.Immediately, Katherine noticed the eight people seated across the dining table. Llewellyn mentioned to her that he had made arrangements for her to remain out of sight from the majority of those that schooled here.Little did Katherine know that most of the people seated in front of her were related to the royal family one way or another.Katherine tried not to let the number of red eyes in the room frighten her as sh

--The Nydisian Kingdom, Eraregord, Royal Academy--Elizabeth tilted her head upon hearing Katherine's question as she was trying to think of the best way to narrate what had happened."Well, as the human world found out about the existence of supernatural beings, things began to change drastically. Humans felt threatened and retaliated against a threat that wasn't there.""Safe zones for the supernatural were opened up to the world but places like Peru, Elysian, Avingora and more, were quickly invaded by the human population.""This led to angst among the leaders of the world and the situation made people grow weary fast. Many things that are now accepted today were forbidden in the old era. One of which involved species and societal norms.""As is known, a single breed supernatural cannot choose their mates, and as time went on werewolves were becoming mates with humans, vampires becoming mates with werewolves, this gave birth to
