“I am not sleepy!”, the little girl grumpily said.Her father was trying to put her to sleep with a lullaby, yet failing at the same time. He let out a sigh and said,“ Zeru, you have to sleep, it is late and you have lessons early in the morning.”Zeru, “But father, I am not sleepy. How about you tell me a story instead, please.”Father, “You little troublemaker! Do you know your way out huh?! Okay, but promise you will sleep after the story and no excuse.”Girl, “I promise!” Father, “Alright. Once upon a time, there was a god who was the supreme creator of all lives. He had two twin daughters. He entrusted them with the task of life and death. For him, life and death are a circle that keeps rolling like a wheel. The elder of the sisters was entrusted with life while the younger with death. But the younger one grew envious of her sister as she considered that
King Xavier, was gearing up to welcome the convoy of from Illusontis as per Queen Niamh’s promise to lend help towards the monster problem. The security has been beefed up around the royal palace following the unexpected scene caused by the captured werewolf. Things were naturally on Nezeira since it happened under her watch. But, she went and explained what exactly happened. The King and Queen were embarrassed to death to hear Nezeira. Yet she withheld the other shenanigans of the prince out of sheer respect for them, as they are visibly troubled by this rowdy son of theirs.While in conversation the king informed Nezeira about the sorceresses from Illusontis who will be sent here to help them. Nezeira, bowed and took note of it and promised to comply. After coming out of the palace she received a call from Yihan.“Yes, tell me,” she answered.Yihan, “Mr. Malcolm is on a business trip to another province and will return after two days.

Euphenia was reeling under the encounter last night. Her head felt occupied by the handsome prince of Cresia pushing away the determination and focus she came here. But she shook off the distraction and concentrated on the real purpose of her visit. She dressed and headed out to meet the princess of Vladmore. The woman she was keen to meet for a long time. It intrigued her to finally see Rhain's obsession with her. Suddenly something struck her. Rhain showed her a picture of the princess once; exquisite looking with extraordinary blue eyes. But yesterday when she saw her she didn't have blue eyes and looked pretty normal for a vampire. With all these thoughts in her mind, Euphenia didn't notice Nezeira came standing by her side. "Princess!", Nezeira spoke which startled Euphenia a little and she turned around. Letting out a smile she said, "My apologies I didn't notice you come. Shall we discuss the situation here?" Nezeira, " Yes, of course. We can speak at the guest house if that
Nezeira came out of the ball and walked towards the open terrace facing the sea. The stars were twinkling in the night sky with the sound of sea waves crashing on the rocky shores. The silence of the night and the rumbling of the sea was more soothing to her than the music and people's endless talking inside. Her eyes glowed in the semi-dark terrace as she for some reason sharpened her vision through the darkness of the night. She looked directly at the sea, and saw every minute detail underneath of waves; the sand whirling with dead shells in them, and other organisms. She also spotted bioluminescence as well. The joy of watching such fascinating details didn't show on her face but it definitely made her heart content with it. Her expression turned serene. The Nezeira four hundred years ago would have had a lovely smile on her face watching the waves but the present one is so embittered with her past that she hardly lets out the locked emotions inside her and now it has become natural
The cries of a woman echoed through the walls of the Temple of Uraos, as she was in labor. Few men stood outside the birth chamber of the temple and waited. One of them briskly walked to and fro with a worried expression. Seeing him stressed, one of the men called out,“Elyx, do not worry. All will be fine. Remember today is the auspicious day of Uraos. Look, the red star has risen and shining brightly. It is a sign that this child will be special.”Elyx looked up to the night sky and saw the bright reddish star glowing in full vigor. He looked at it and whispered, “The auspicious star, Nezeira,” and smiled. At that moment loud cries of a baby replaced the screams of her mother. Then a midwife came out and said with a big smile,“It is a girl sire!”Congratulations poured in for Elyx. He was elated but restless to meet his newborn daughter. After a while, the midwives came out and invited Elyx into the birthing chamber. His wife Fayah looked exhausted yet gleaming with happiness with
Euphenia slowly crept out of the bed without waking Yihan up. She felt soreness all over her body yet her mind was at peace. She slowly reached for the night robe and wore it. Taking her bracelet and slowly came out onto the balcony. She touched it and made a connection with Rhain. As soon as the connection was established as Euphenia saw that Rhain is a somewhere desolate place, weak and struggling to keep up. His clothes were blood-soaked with a severe bite wound on his left neck. Euphenia aghast at Rhain’s condition asked,“What the hell happened to you?”Rhain, panting with a quivering voice spoke, “Help me. Please. I will die at this rate. I need blood.”Euphenia, “ Now?! Alright, where are you?”Before Rhain could answer her, he collapsed due to blood loss, and the connection was swapped abruptly. The bracelet connection works through the energy of one’s consciousness and life force as it was made by binding their blood. So when Rhain collapsed as his life force was withering aw
The giant oak tree stood at the edge of the meadow. Two children; a girl and a boy, were playing under its cool shadow. The boy had scar marks on his wrists and ankles. The marks are like of being chained up. The little girl curiously asked him,“Are you hurt?”The boy, “Not really. These help me not to hurt anyone.”The girl, “You hurt anyone then?”The boy remained silent and did not answer. He has overgrown hairs all over his body. It looked more like fur. For a seven-year-old kid having this unusual appearance was something challenging. Every other child in that village gets irked by his unusualness and avoids him, except this little girl. The boy’s loneliness disappeared the day this little girl arrived in the village. Being a half-werewolf comes with its own setbacks. Especially for a kid. The werewolf traits are unstable and fickle. It can get triggered at any moment with the slightest emotional nudge during the full moon days of the month. It starts from a week before the full
The heavenly realm erupted in days-long celebrations. The supreme god Uraos had conceived twin daughters. For a long time, he had desired for an heir to take over the responsibility of the Heavenly Realm. For that, he came down from his heavenly abode and spent years in mediation and cultivation to conceive his divine child on a secluded mysterious island on earth. As the supreme divinity, he coalesced his virtues and powers into one entity. He wanted his successor to have no vices or weaknesses. So he poured all his divinity into it to make sure there was no negativity or evilness in it. The energy pool condensed into a physical culmination and took the form of a baby girl. The baby had perfect delicate features and the surroundings glowed in a powerful aura. But, within a few seconds of her birth, an unknown energy surge happened just where she lay, in the color of black smoke. The energy then condensed into another physical form of a baby girl just like the first one. As soon as the
