[Ragnar’s POV] "Be careful." Isabella said when we parted lips. "I always am." I smiled at her. "Because someone is waiting for me to return."I took my sword that I layed on the ground. I stood up and walked towards the door. I looked back one last time before exiting the door. "Wait for me." I said with a gentle smile. "I will." Isabella smiled back.I walked outside and see my remaining knights guarding the entrance. "Guard the entrance well. Be sure not to let anyone in." I ordered them. "Yes your highness." The knights answered.I look around and all I could see is a sea of flame blocking our path. My magic leans on the fire, wood, and wind elements and so I don’t have any means to stop. We can’t escape from here without any outside help. I need to find a way to send a message to Kyler and fast. ’Avatar, where are you?’ I called my familiar telepathically. ’I’m here flying around in your vicinity.’ I heard Avatar reply. ’The fire encircling your area is too strong
[Isabella’s POV]I can hear the fighting that was going on outside. I can hear swords clashing and men screaming. I can only imagine what kind of battle was raging outside now. "I am sorry that I am of no help outside." Philip said. He was groaning in pain due to his ribs being broken. "It’s okay. I am sure Ragnar’s men are quite capable in battle." I smiled at him to relieve his worries. I was still pressing his wound on his forehead to stop the bleeding. "I just feel useless." Philip sighed. "Don’t think like that." I scolded him. "You are my personal knight. Of course your place is here by my side."That is why I agreed to be left here beside Philip. Even though I want to go outside and help Ragnar in fighting, I decided to be left here with Philip so that he won’t think of anything stupid like going out and fighting in his condition.The sound of the fighting is getting nearer and nearer. Not long I can hear someone exchanging sword swings just outside the door.My heart w
"To prince Darius you say?" I looked at her with contempt. "So he was the one that planned this attack." "If the prince wishes something, then he will have it." Luna said with confidence. "Well I am afraid I will disappoint you Ms.Luna”. I smirked at her. "I am one person your so called prince will never have, not in this life or the next, and I don’t have any plans of coming with you."There was a moment of silence inside the room and then Luna laughed out loud. "Hahahha!!!" Luna looked at me with amusement. "Well you have no choice in this matter princess. Don’t think that with your higher magic abilities can stop me."I looked at her maintaining my calm demeanor but inside I was rather curious why she would say my magic abilities can’t defeat her. "We know beforehand that you are of royal blood line and with higher magical aptitude than us normal Spartans. Judging by the defenses that you made, you have practiced your magic well even without a Spartan teacher. I can guess tha
"You did it Isa. You won." Philip looked at me with surprise and praise. "I guess I did." I was panting lightly. I have won my first real one on one battle.Judging by Luna’s confidence, I was sure that she is a capable fighter. But I know I have an advantage because she didn’t know my true capabilities. She let her guard down and that was her down fall.I looked at the unconscious young woman on the ground and saw the metal she was holding beside her. I picked it up and started to inspect it.Looking at it closely, it looked just like any ordinary metal but with color as black as charcoal. Its surface was smooth to touch and it felt cold on my palm. "Philip, it’s better for you have this." I handed the metal over to Philip. "Are you sure?" Philip took the metal and looked at it. "This will be of use to you in the future." I insisted. "Hmm, okay." Philip nodded and put the metal inside his pocket. ’Should I kill her?’ I thought to myself while looking at the unconscious Luna.L
I was running around searching the vicinity of where Ragnar might be. All around me were Ragnar’s knights fighting the enemy."I have to find him." My heart was racing rapidly.Remembering my dream, Ragnar was fighting with a man with black robes and I wasn’t able to see his face. But judging by the circumstances, Ragnar might be facing Darius in person.Darius was the one behind this ambush just to get me. He knows he can’t get me while Ragnar is still alive. For sure he would face Ragnar himself because he is the only one that can do so. I was frantically searching the area but still can’t find Ragnar. "Where might you be, Erik?" I was getting frantic by every minute.In my dream Ragnar was able to handle his opponent with his master sword skills. What I am afraid of is that Darius was like me, a Spartan of royal blood. For sure his magic abilities are like mine or maybe even stronger. And remembering the arrow that pierced Ragnar on his back, just by remembering it sent chills up
I turned around fast and tried to stop the arrow but my magic isn’t working. I see Ragnar was struck by the arrow on his chest. I see him fall down on his knees. "NOOOO!!!" I shouted in agony. It felt like my heart had burst open, it felt so painful. "You really are something." Darius said with a smirk. "You evaded the arrow that was about to strike your heart. But no matter, because you will fall down by my sword."Ragnar was still breathing but heavily. I can see blood coming out from his mouth. Hope blossomed in my heart. The arrow didn’t hit his heart. Ragnar looked my way and our eyes met. He gave me a comforting smile and worded me something. "I love you." Ragnar said. I might not have heard his word because of the distance but I read his lips say that.Darius lifted his sword and pointed it towards the kneeling Ragnar before him. "Die, crown prince Ragnar of Avalon!" Darius yelled. "STOOOOPPPP!!!" I shouted on the top of my lungs.I want to stop him from striking that swor
[Ragnar’s POV]General Marcus and the crown prince Williams had persuaded me to go back to the palace and get treatment for the poison.Once I was laid down in bed in my previous living quarters in the Wales royal palace, the royal physician Dr Crane was the one that came to look at me. "It’s a wonder that you can still move with this kind of poison in your system." Dr Crane said while concocting an antidote. "This kind of poison is strong and can kill a normal human being within only three hours. You were lucky that I have the necessary ingredients in my possession to make an antidote." "My body has been accustomed to different kinds of poisons since I was young." I replied. "I am immune to majority of poisons." I remember when I was still a child, many of father’s concubines tried to kill me with poison just because my mother was greatly favored by him. They were afraid that I will become a thorn to their sons’ future. Luckily my mother was an expert with herbs and was able to ma
"I will take my leave your highness. I have to relay this news to her majesty and the prince." The maid said cheerfully. "I will be getting some food for you as well. I am sure you are famished after sleeping for so long." "Uh...Wait..." I called out to her but she dashed outside the room and closed the door behind. "Is it really been six months? It has been that long?"I thought about the events that happened before I woke up here. The ambush that prince Darius planned was a major event that can stir problems between the two Kingdoms, not to mention my being here in Geneva against my free will. I am the fiancée of the crown prince of Geneva, kidnapping me can be seen as a major crime between the two Kingdoms. And to think six months have passed after that. "Ragnar must be so worried about me." I said.I walked towards the door and turned the knob. "It’s locked. Heh..." I scoffed.Of course, I was brought here against my will. I was being treated as a prisoner here in my so call
