All Chapters of Taboo Heat: Tales Too Hot To Handle: Chapter 901 - Chapter 910

"Your Majesty?" one of the soldiers in dark armor addressed his king. Arik stood off to the side, hidden under a dark hood as dark as the circles under his eyes. He towered over everyone around him.Cedric, clad in heavy red armor, sat on his black horse at the foot of the hill. He nervously swallowed as he noticed a flock of white birds overhead.It was time."Follow the plan," Arik said to the soldiers. He looked up at the sky, at the sun, and at the birds. "After tonight, the world will be forever changed." He turned and descended the steps, heading back into the city.Cedric raised his hand, signaling to his commanders. Hundreds of eyes fixed on him, awaiting the order."Today, we will take what belongs to us!" Cedric's voice thundered over the ranks of soldiers, cutting through the noise of the morning wind. "This city will fall! For Solarion! For Eternal Life!"Shouts of "For Eternal Life!" echoed through the army's ranks like a wave, and silence fell once more, broken only by t

"It's always been about her!" Elowen angrily gripped the armrests of the throne, crushing the marble with the owl's powers. "It's always been about her from day one! You didn't care about the Eclipse; you didn't care about saving the world. You just wanted her - you needed your precious Mommy. You wanted to be her new husband, and when it turned out that saving the world meant killing Arik, you became an obedient dog and went off to do what you were told. You're just a pawn. You're an idiot, Cedric.""Elowen, I beg you... You should be on my side. You are my sister.""I am the Eclipsian Queen. I am the chosen one, and you are my enemy."Emerging from behind a column, Tilidus stepped forward. He held a prisoner in his grasp, silver hair cascading over the man's face."Gargantua?"Even through the veil of hair, the disfigured face, marred by scars and cuts, was unmistakably visible. Tilidus smiled as he brought a blade to Gargantua's throat."This man was the leader of a Cult that dedic

Cedric brushed a lock of dark hair from her pale face. "If only you hadn't lied about the 18th descendant...""Lied?" Arik moved to the edge of the throne room, watching as a dark object was about to completely obscure the sun. "You cling to these prophecies, believing I have deceived them, but they have all turned out to be true, haven't they? The true 18th descendant wed the last descendant of Leronse, your mother. And you - you will forever be remembered in history as the 18th descendant who betrayed his homeland. You will die, eventually, for the 20th to be born. I won't kill yours and Seraphina's child. I'll let it live and raise it as if he or she is mine--the 20th descendant. You are the enemy of the Dynasty, created by these prophecies. And

The bolt of lightning coursed through Cedric's wet body.Everything went dark before his eyes.His heart stopped.====Cedric slowly opened his eyes. His first thought was that he was surrounded by snow. Everything was white, as white as white could be. It was a white void, or perhaps his vision simply couldn't pierce through the white emptiness to see what lay beyond it."Am I... dead?" He touched his body."Not yet, kiddo."Cedric recognized this voice and turned around. It was Eligh. The old man looked exactly as he remembered him, as he had seen him last time--tired, with a sword at his waist and kind eyes."Eligh!" Cedric hugged the old man, burying his head in his shoulder. They both smiled."I missed yo

Conrad cleared his throat. "Cedric, do you take Seraphina to be your lawfully wedded wife, to love and cherish her through all seasons of life?""I do," Cedric answered."Seraphina, do you take Cedric to be your wedded husband, to support and stand by him, in times of joy and in times of sorrow?"With a gentle smile, Seraphina replied, "I do."Conrad's eyes twinkled with warmth. "By the power vested in me by nature itself, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may seal your vows with a kiss."Seraphina's eyes never left Cedric's. "I choose you, now and always.""And I you. For every season that comes."They kissed. A gentle little kiss between not just mother and son, but wife and husband, Cedric leaned in, his forehead resting gently against hers."I love you, Mum.""And I love you, Cedric." Seraphina said with a smile and proud, her eyes closing as she breathed in the crisp autumn air.They savored the moment of peace, a moment of love."Thank you, Conrad," Cedric said."No need
