Stars align"yes Maugrim, I'm your son and you are my father" I saidMaugrim looked dumbfounded at first, then he bursted into dry laughter."Amarog must be even more than a clown than I thought he was" he said "what did he think will happen when you tell me this concocted lie?" he bellowed, his laughter subsiding, taken over by rage for being supposedly taken for a fool.I shook my head "It is true, Lord Maugrim...I am your son" I told him firmly.He looked at me for a while trying to see the seriousness of my claim in my eyes.Then he laughed again."Why exactly do you claim to be my son? Is it so that I can relinquish my desire to crush Amarog to pieces?" he asked"No, I do not hold any loyalty to Amarog except to his daughter who is the love of my life...and I am not claiming to be your son, I am your son" I said"All right, tell me exactly how you happen to be so" he enunciated like he was talking to a two year old.I wasn't annoyed with this. I expected this reaction, so I calmly

The letterNate and I walked for about thirty minutes before getting to the castle gate.He had been quiet throughout the walk. He had not bothered me with questions that I was sure he was itching to ask.When we got to the place where soldiers had attacked us with shooting arrows, I pointed it out to Nate and he nodded and looked around the place speculatively."We are sorry about that" he said gruffly and I nodded."You don't need to apologise, Nate...we expected that" I said and he nodded.When we got to the castle gate, Nate said "go in, I will watch your back""All right, Nate, thank you" I told him and smiled at him, he blushed and averted his gaze shyly.I giggled and disappeared through the magic portal. That must have left him even more speechless than before, I thought giggling.When I entered into the castle, the guards became alert and rushed to my side "My lady, is everything all right?" one of them asked"I'm fine....where is my father? I need to see him immediately" I s

The partyThe party was already in full swing when Maugrim came arrived at the castle with up to ten of his soldiers, including Nate and his deputy included.Amarog was seated on the head of the long table that had been filled up with different assorted meals while Kasla sat beside him.At the opposite end of the table, a seat was kept for Maugrim as befitting his stature.I was seated with Hera on the left side of Maugrim's chair and Kimi and Lucian had taken the seat next to Maugrim's chair on the right.Theo had made sure he sat next to Kimi, his infatuation with her still intact, while Fyr and Theo took the chairs next to their mother.Before Maugrim arrived, Lucian and Kimi had provided us with laughter, making the mood if the hall boisterous. Lucian has been finding it difficult to bat him away and we have been laughing at him. Kimi had joined in the fun by flirting with Theo, further pushing Lucian to the brink of violence against his brother.Kimi had then taken pity on her bel

Forgiveness abound"Maugrim? is that you?" my mother asked, her whole body vibrating with shock."Yes, Nymeria, it's me...long time no see" Maugrim replied, with all the love he had for her shinning in his eyes. "Oh my god" Mother exclaimed and she and Maugrim locked eyes for a long while, it was very obvious that they were still in love.Thane and my other siblings looked on at the spectacle with fascination mixed with horror. Except Akela of course, she had probably seen everything already in her visions.Beowulf, growled, he had a look of hatred in his eyes for Maugrim and I felt like punching him on the face.This man made my mother unhappy countless times and now that she is about to find her happiness, he wants to spoil it."Shut up, Beowulf!" My mother shouted, her eyes blazing with rage at Beowulf. I almost cheered for her."Thane, where are the mountain men? what's happening here?" Beowulf boomed"Tys vanquished them all...in one minute, father... Our enemies from the mountai
