The Fall Of Zombie Kingdom 2

To their surprise, it passes though him. “Your skin.” Donton said in awe. “It dosen’t affect you because you are not grey. You are immune!” “I am? So I can stop this? What do I do?” “I don’t know, but you will find a way. I trust you. For now you have to leave. Go!” A pulse hit Donton. His eyes turned red. Roydo screamed his name and tried to touch him. But he pushed him away violently and attacked the Knowledge Master fighting nearby. Roydo looked round helplessly, trying to find the way to the kingdom gate. It was that way. He started to run, then paused. He had to find his brother first. He ran around calling his name. Finally he saw him hiding under a table. As he ran up to him, Tok darted from his hiding place and made for the Temple. A pulse hit him and he fell writhing in agony. Without thinking Roydo threw himself between the pulse and his brother. “Tok! Are you okay?” “Wha…t is hap..pen..ing?” Tok asked weakly. “We have to run! Come on!” Tok passed out.

The Luna Plots

The uproar in the Great Hall could be heard across the courtyard. As usual the loudest voices belonged to Alpha Som and Alpha Nic. “Silence!” Jerry yelled impatiently. “This meeting was called to decide how to move forward from the failed ceremony at the Moon Pool, instead it had degenerated into a shouting match. Let’s have some order.” “We would have order if this incompetent wolf wasn’t a part of the council.” Nic said, glaring at Som scornfully. “I know you are not addressing me Alpha Nic, a wolf like you whose whole life screams incompetence can’t call anyone else’s incompetent.” Som said calmly. “An Alpha of a waste pack like yours, shouldn’t be here.” Nic retorted. “Waste pack? How is your wife by the way? I’ll need a sack to carry the waste from my pack. Is she available?” There was a burst of laughter from the other Alphas. Nic’s dark face darkened even more. His claws came out and he began to shift, ready to rip Som’s head from his body. “Enough!” Jerry roared,

The Luna's Plan

Don’t you see eating here is better father? There is peace and quiet. No Alphas behaving like children. Imagine the disgraceful way Nic and Som were behaving.” Frank shrugged. “Their animosity goes back decades. I doubt even the Goddess can bring them together.” “Is it so bad that Nic would oppose a good idea just because Som suggested it?” She asked, pretending not to know the answer. “My dear, Nic would watch his pack burn if it meant accepting water from Som. That’s how bad it is.” Her eyes widened. “Hmmm…. Everyone knows Som is the Alphas strongest supporter. And Jerry admires him too. Don’t you think Nic would support anyone who tried to destroy that friendship? Say if someone tried to take the throne away from the Alpha?” She asked carefully. The piece of meat Frank had been about to swallow suddenly got stuck in his throat. So this was why Mona had personally brought him his lunch, to pitch her ill thought out ideas. “Think about it father.” She said eagerly. “Ni

A New Ally

“Then let’s begin. The first step is killing Jerry –“ “Shhhh…I know. But wait.” “Again? You said once Jerry came back from the Moon Pool –“ “We'd kill him. I know. But the ceremony didn’t go as planned. Give it some time. Let’s see what happens. If Lupus Tenebris doesn’t show his face again then the threat is really over, and we can continue with our plan.” “How long do we have to wait?” Mona asked gnashing her teeth. “Till we are sure the evil wolf is no more. Meanwhile leave the gathering of allies to me. Your concern should be getting the people to like you. It will help make the throne more comfortable when you eventually sit on it.” There was a knock and a servant brought in the pie. Mona mumbled an excuse and stalked out. She managed to contain her anger till she entered her solar. The nanny was there, playing with Kyle. One look at the Luna's face and she fled with the child. She had worked with Mona enough to know when she got like this no one, not even her

Whispers Of Treason

"So my Luna, what did you want to talk about?" Nic asked, as they walked away from the palace and into the garden. "Like I said, our common enemy. Som." "I didn't know you loathed that despicable son of a vampire as much as I did." "Of course I do. Didn't you see how he humiliated me the day the Alpha came back from the Moon Pool? Before then he encouraged a servant to disrespect me. And he is insufferable! Strutting around as if he were the Kingdom Beta, when he is nothing more than the Alpha of a pack not even half as worthy as yours. He needs to be taught a lesson in humility. Unfortunately Jerry is too weak to do what needs to be done. Wolf Kingdom needs a strong ruler." "And who do you suggest is strong enough?" Nic asked cautiously. "My son of course. Kyle will be the strongest Alpha to ever rule Wolf Kingdom. Have you seen him at the training? He is already showing promise." Mona said proudly. Last I heard, you nearly tore the palace apart when the Alpha suggested the boy

Last Happy Day

Nic sat in his small tent polishing his sword, his heart pounding with excitement. The roar of the crowd was so loud it seemed to shake the ground. The Annual Lunar Games were always a time of excitement. All twenty packs of Wolf Kingdom gathered together while their young nobles competed in archery, swordsmanship, racing, and other contests for the coveted, Lunar Medal. Nic was the reigning champion and was determine to keep his title. Black Fang was the poorest of the twenty packs, bringing them glory in the Games was the least he could do. His retainer entered the tent. "My lord, you have a visitor." "Later. I'm busy." The retainer lowered his voice. "It's Lady Fira. She's waiting at the edge of the tournament grounds. She says it's urgent." Nic stood up immediately. “Stay here. If anyone asks for me, say I went to relieve myself.” He instructed the retainer. He hurried to the woods surrounding the training ground, where he knew Fira would be. On the way he ra
