Sophie rushed to hug Alpha Jones. She was terrified."Are you okay?" Alpha Jones asked calmly. He rubbed her head soothingly.Sophie nodded. She buried her head in his chest.There was a violent knock on the door. Both of them were startled"Who is that?" Alpha Jones was the first to break out of his startling.There was another round of hard knocks instead of a verbal response.Alpha Jones headed to the door. He clearly wanted to go and open it without a proper thought."Wait!" Sophie pulled him back. "We don't know who is there, what if....." she panted."Whoever it is, standing out there. I will open the door" he insisted."Do you know their numbers? What if the whole guards have turned on us?" she was too scared."At least, I still need to open the door to get you to safety" Alpha Jones replied slowly. He took her hands off his body and went to the door. He opened it swiftly. David jumped in, with readiness for a fight. He looked around and saw the dead guards. He looked surprise
David couldn't walk uprightly as he stormed out of the throne room. He believed that must have been caused by the goddess, Tonia.Though he did nothing wrong but she must have been angry that Alpha Jones escaped death."I'm sorry, goddess" he whispered to himself and continued fidgeting towards Tonia's compartment. He was going to tell her to put all the blame on him.He wanted to be punished for what he knew nothing about. He didn't even know when Tonia sent the guards to kill Alpha Jones. But now that the mission had failed, she would be angry. David wouldn't want that.The goddess' anger should be avoided at all. cost.He knocked on Tonia's door.She opened it instantly like she had been waiting for him. She stared at him for a while like she was surprised."David?" she made her mouth hollow in shock."My goddess" David struggled, trying to fight the pain going round his body. "I'm sorry" he begged."Sorry for what?" Tonia asked helplessly."You are angry. And the anger is taking t
In the hallway, Sophie hesitated. She could hear some light footsteps. She stared around looking for who it was.Someone was obviously sneaking behind her.She didn't see anyone. She continued walking to her room with extra carefulness."Sophie" Tonia called her softly from behind She was sure it was her voice but she wouldn't expect her to be snooping around her this way. They weren't friends, though they were not enemies."Tonia?" she asked without turning to face her."Yes, it's me, my Luna" Tonia replied politely. "You don't want to see my face?" she chuckled.Sophie chuckled with her. She was wondering what she was up to."I hear you are a goddess" she teased her as she turned to face her. "How do you have a Luna?" she scoffed."Being exalted doesn't mean you should be disrespectful" she said briefly.Sophie was stunned, she felt insulted and it showed on her face."I'm talking about myself" Tonia said to calm her. "I just realized I have not been given you enough respect and re
Sophie rushed into the Mage's compartment."Who the hell is that?" the Mage asked before looking up. He turned around and found Sophie standing right behind him. "Oh! My Luna!" he exclaimed in surprise.Sophie was breathing heavily. She couldn't say anything. Though Tonia failed, she was still terrified."You are acting like you just saw a ghost" the Mage said in a funny way to calm her."What I saw is worse than seeing a ghost" she sighed and tried to catch her breath."This Manor is very secured. It isn't easy to be infiltrated by a ghost talkless of something scarier than a ghost" he asserted confidently."Very secured?" Sophie said sarcastically. She remembered how her mother, Cassandra came in and left without being caught and the Mage could still claim it was secured."So what is it that you see?" the Mage cut to the chase."Tonia!" Sophie moaned. "She is the being scarier than the ghost" she exaggerated."Don't tell me you have fallen for her and see her as a goddess too" the M
Alpha Jones was worried. It had been few minutes that he had been looking for Sophie. He thought she would be in the throne room.He couldn't find her there. "Where are you, where are you?" he muttered to himself repeatedly as he ventured back on the way to the compartments.He met a guard groaning along the hallway. He was staggering back and forth. He was obviously in a lot of pains.Alpha Jones abandoned his mission of finding Sophie. He rushed to the guard and assisted him to sit down with his back against the wall.The guard was shaking all over his body."What's your name?" Alpha Jones asked him."Tedline" he groaned."What have you eaten?" Alpha Jones thought he might be suffering from food poisoning. There was no cut on him and no bruises."I need to share this with someone right now" he managed to speak but Alpha Jones couldn't understand him. His eyes were scarily bulging."Where are the others?" Alpha Jones looked around to find another guard that could assist him to the h
Sophie could hear Alpha Jones' voice. She scampered outwards to meet him."You are here" Alpha Jones was astounded. "I've been looking for you for a while. Where is the Mage, there is something he needs to know about?" he was clearly unsettled."He is preparing some things for an important mission" Sophie said reluctantly. She felt Alpha Jones might not be in support of their little escapade."Important mission?" he chuckled. "Nothing can never be more important than what I'm about to tell him" he said boastfully.Sophie believed that could be more important than what she had the Mage working on. It was a matter of life and death of Alpha Jones himself but he wouldn't know."He will be through with it in few minutes" she moaned."Do you think I'm blabbing?" Alpha Jones seemed seriously worried. "Mage!! It is better you bring yourself out or I will have to drag you of wherever you are" he cried out."I'm coming. This is a matter of life and death" the Mage said loudly to reply him. He
The Mage sighed. He realized Tonia wasn't in the room. He needed to wait. That was a sign his plan wouldn't go down well."Bad Omen?" he murmured"Omen of what?" Tonia appeared suddenly"Your little trick again?" the Mage said after getting out of bewilderment."You are looking for me, why?" Tonia sat down confidently."I have been hearing some news about some people getting people bewitched. That's epic. Things like that do not happen again" the Mage also sat down."Who are those fools carrying the absurd news?" Tonia questioned. She didn't really deny it."The question is, is it true?" the Mage ignored her question."It isn't true, if what they call it, is bewitchment. What I am giving to people is salvation. I give them happiness and harmony" she lauded herself."Do you think you are capable of giving all these things you listed?" the Mage increased his attentiveness."Who else is capable of giving all these things of not a goddess? I am a goddess" she proclaimed"Of course, that's
Alpha Jones watched David as he walked in towards him. He came so quick after he sent for him."I was made to believe that you are not in your right mind anymore" Alpha Jones said awkwardly. "I don't know what to think if that's true or not?" he scoffed.David stared round the throne room probably to confirm if they were the only one present."You're a wise leader. You always make good decisions, better than what anyone could make. I will also leave this decision for you to make. Whether it is true or not, I'm okay with whatever you say" David said submissively. Like he was, always. He was even smiling which showed that he had confidence in Alpha Jones judgment."You sound like the true David I know. You are not bewitched as I was told" Alpha Jones was convinced. "Why would anyone think I've lost my mind? Have I come short of my duties? If you think I have been inaccurate in some aspects, it will be good if you tell me" David related calmly."Actually, there is nothing weird in what
