[Isabella’s POV]When I woke up, the sun has set and it was already dark outside. The moon was in the quarter phase and so the stars were brightly shining in the night sky. "To think I slept after confronting Ragnar." I sighed and got up from bed. I looked around and Ragnar was not around. "Maggie?!" I called out. And in an instant the door opened. "Your majesty, you are awake." Maggie said with a smile. She hurriedly lighted the lights inside the room. "His majesty was called by vice-captain Victor once again because of an urgent matter. He has entrusted you to me and Sir Philip." "Oh..." I replied. I was about to ask her where my husband was but she answered before I even asked. Ragnar must have instructed her to tell me where he was once I have woken up. "Would you like to eat your dinner, your majesty?" Maggie asked. "I will wait for Ragnar to return and eat with him Maggie ." I replied with a smile. "Thank you." "Then let me at least get you some biscuits to snack while wa
After dinner, Ragnar and I had a quiet walk hand in hand along the sea shore once again. But because the moon is in its quarter phase, it was not giving off too much light. The huge night pearls that were here a few nights ago were collected and are stored in a safe place. "Let’s not stray that far." Ragnar said with a calm voice and I nodded in agreement.We were still near the stairs going up the mansion where the lights were brightly lit. The sea was dyed in darkness because of the little light. All I can hear was the calm waves washing up the shore. "We still have a few days left to admire the sea. We will be going back to the capital of Wales after you have regained your strength." Ragnar said. "Why don’t we fly over the sea on Avatar tomorrow morning?" "That sounds like a great idea." I said with a huge smile on my face. "It is a shame I cannot swim on the beach for now. But at least I can admire it from above."Even though Ivy gave me permission to swim in the beach, Ragnar
[Ragnar’s POV] I woke up in the middle of the night stretching my hand to feel the warmth of my wife. But what I felt was the cold bed sheets beside me.I sat up on bed and gently rubbed my eyes, scanning the room in search of my wife. But all I saw was an empty room in the darkness of night with only a lamp to give a warm light. "Isa?" I called out to her but without any reply. "Where could she be?" My heart was starting to race but I tried to calm myself and do not think of anything negative.I stood up from bed and found my bedroom slippers. I quickly slipped them into my feet and wore my night robe that was hanging at my bed side. I took the lamp and slowly walked towards the bathroom to see if she was inside.Upon reaching the bathroom door and opening it, I did not see anyone inside. That was when I started to panic.My heart was thumping even faster. My steps was faster than the normal and walked towards the door and opened it. Outside, I saw the night guards standing by the
[Ragnar’s POV]I was a top of Avatar when we flew to the open sea in a dim lit night. Because the moon was just a quarter full, the surroundings were dark. Good thing that Avatar’s wings were burning, we can at least see a few feet radius below us.Our destination was the location of the faint glow. At first the glow was dim that can be ignored. But when Avatar and I were getting closer, the light became distinct. "I can feel a strong wave of magic where that light is coming from." I said out loud. "Yes, I can feel it as well." Avatar replied. "I feel something familiar and yet ominous in the vicinity of the light." "Can you sense any danger?" I asked him. "There would be danger, probably." Avatar replied without thinking twice. The strong magic I am sensing from the direction of the light might only be one thing. "The forbidden magic." I said it out loud. I unconsciously got shivers all over my body after saying its name. "I am sure that is what it is." Avatar said after hear
My eyes went wide when I saw the person that just spoke. He does not have a solid body and seemed like a mirage. Looking at his physical features, long silver hair and eyes, it is undoubted that he is of Spartan royal blood line. "It is nice to see you again, young king of Avalon." The man greeted me with a bright smile. "You... who are you?" I asked out of curiosity. He seemed to not be a threat, but I still kept my guard up just to make sure. I looked around and it was like time had frozen around me. Only me and the man before me are the ones that can move. "Oh, it is understandable that you do not recognize me." The man replied. "The time I met you, I had the feature of an old man. Now I am in my young form." The man smiled brightly at me once more.His words puzzled me for a moment, but when I looked at him closely, I remembered the incident the time the fish witch dies. I remember that the soul of the almighty One came to fetch the fish witch and send her to the after life. "
"Who has come to disturb my master’s return?" The voice of the dragon was quite menacing. "I am here to see my wife." I said holding my ground but I can feel the heavy aura the dragon is emitting.The dragon was focused on looking at us. There was silence for a moment, and the tension was getting heavier with each passing second. ’I can feel his menacing aura, Erik.’ Avatar said to me telepathically. ’I know. I can sense it as well.’ I replied as well. I am not sure if the dragon right now is a friend or foe. But with the aura he is emitting, Avatar and I cannot let our guard down. "I see. So you are the husband of the body where my master chose to be born from." The dragon replied. "Yes." I replied, having hope that the divine beast in front of me would at least let me pass through. "I wish to see my wife and guard her while your master’s soul and magic is being absorbed into her body. The baby inside of her is my child as well." "Hmm... I see." The dragon nodded its head. "B
While I was floating at the water surface, I felt the pressure from under me. In no time, the dragon flung me up in mid air and I was about to be swallowed whole in his big mouth. I was suspended in mid air when I saw the dragon opening its mouth wide and baring its sharp teeth. He was about to swallow me from where I was. I felt myself falling, while the dragon was heading my way from under me with his mouth wide open. When my body was just at the entrance of his mouth, I stretched my arms and got a hold of one of his fangs. I was able to prevent myself from going straight into the dragon’s mouth and into its throat. But that was not the end of my predicament. The dragon was about to crush me with his big teeth. He was about to close his mouth with me in between, but I was able to hold his lower jaw down with my feet. "Ahhh,dammm!" I cursed at the current state I am. I was using all of my strength to prevent myself from being crushed and grinded by the dragon’s teeth. "Ahhhhhh
The sun was yet to rise, darkness still clouded the surroundings. The air is tainted with the saltness of the sea and dawn was just around the corner. I was standing at the sandy beach while holding Shadow’s reigns. We are preparing to set out and retrieve the remaining key fragments that are missing to complete the key. My men have formed two groups, each one tasked to get the key fragments in a specific location. I will be leading one group while the other one will be led by Chris. "Your majesty. All is set for our journey." Victor said with a solemn face. "That is good." I replied. "Remember, we are short of time so we will need to retrieve the key fragments as soon as possible." "I understand your majesty." Victor said while bowing his head as affirmation. "But make sure to be careful." I ordered specifically. "We might be in haste and time might be of the essence, but I do not want anything bad to happen to any of you."The look of the men before me had a mix of gratitu
