Seraphina sighed as Jade vanished into the shadows. She was really sad and confused but she had successfully concealed her emotions from Jade. Seraphina had made up her mind that she would enver reveal her sadness to Jade again. She walked down the oath of Silverwood and she looked at the flowing waters and sighed again. "I am so sorry father", Seraphina said, she felt like she had failed her father. "I couldn't keep my promise" Her father who was a high mage had committed everything to Seraphina, Seraphina had promised her father that she will protect everyone and everything until the given time. "I don't know what to do Father, I am lost. I need guidance, what do I do with Jade?", Seraphina muttered. She felt like she had no idea what to do now, Jade had become a problem. Seraphina wasn't sure of how to proceed, she could see Jade had become a big problem. Jade was already very talented in magic, she had great affinity to both light and dark. It was a talent that was extremely
Hyperion looked at her, he was surprised by how emotionally she was talking."What do you mean fail him?", Hyperion asked."When I was a kid, my dad asked me to look out for my sister. It was his dying wish bit since his death, Jade has been distant since then. She has only made more wrong decisions since then and we have only drifted apart more and more.""How has this been affecting you?", Hyperion asked."Well I have a lot of responsibilities now and I worry a lot about her. I feel like I have let my father down and I have failed him.I can't lose Jade. She is all I have left, she is the only family I have. I don't know what I would do if something happened to her. I fear she will take the dark road.""I don't know what I should do. I am so confused, I don't know where to begin.", Seraphina said sadly.Hyperion looked at her with a sympathetic gaze."You are strong Seraphina, you have to push on and not let anything slow you down", Hyperion said.Seraphina looked at him and sighed,
As Seraphina sat by the tranquil waters of Silverwood, her thoughts swirled with memories of her past. Her mind lingered around her father's last words and it made the reality of the unfulfilled promise to her father more unbearable, It hung heavily on her shoulders like a burden she couldn't shake off. She had tried her best to protect her sister, Jade, but it seemed like darkness had taken hold of her, and Seraphina couldn't find a way to bring her back.Tears welled up in Seraphina's eyes as she remembered her father's words and his loving smile. Herod had believed in her strength and entrusted her with the task of safeguarding Jade. Yet, despite her efforts, Jade had spiraled down a dangerous path, and Seraphina felt like she had let her father down."I'm so sorry, Father," Seraphina whispered to the memory of Herod. "I couldn't keep my promise. I've tried, but I don't know what to do with Jade now.Turns out that I'm not the person you thought me to be, I couldn't fulfill such a
Lucian and Hyperion were gone for a few days, most people in the capital had barely noticed their departure. Seraphina counted the days of their absence with patience and she hoped that they return safely.One evening, while she sat on the porch of the Blackthorn residence, She normally spent her evenings looking out across the capital, seeing the hustle and bustle of the city in the evening had a calming effect on Seraphina. She heard some commotion within the premises, she rushed down to investigate and to her delight she saw Lucian and Hyperion standing before her.Lucian led the way, his piercing blue eyes filled with determination. Beside him was Hyperion, the two men had a look of exhaustionon their faces but more importantly, Seraphina could feel a sense of dread coming from them and she knew that they had discovered the worst."Seraphina," Lucian greeted with a nod, his voice carrying a peculiar exhaustion and weariness.Seraphina walked towards them, concern etching her featur
While Argon remained in the capital, the army of the Lycans begun their march. Deucalion had decided that he would push the realms into chaos. He had a plan to bring all the realms under his banner. The army marched towards the human settlements first.News of his new plan spread through the capital like wildfire but Lucius and his allies were ready. The Queen assembled all the noblemen and the Alphas to the Royal Chamber, it was a large room which was made of pure white marble and had markings of Gold on the walls and pillars. Certain parts of the room had other precious metals and stones like Ruby and Amethyst. This room was only used in preparation for war of conflict, it had been ages since the room had to be in useThe Queen began her speech, "I am aware that Deucalion's forces have begun their march, this is the signal that we are now in full scale war. This room was created eons ago by our forefathers as a promise that this realm shall not fall into darkness, but now we face a
The room quickly quietened down as Lucius's voice echoed throughout the hall. He stood in their midst and admonished them."Now is the worst time for infighting", Lucius said sternly.Lucius's stern voice resonated through the Royal Chamber, and all eyes were fixated on him as he talked. "Now is the worst time for infighting," Lucius began, his gaze sweeping across the assembly of nobles and Alphas. "We stand on the precipice of a great conflict, a battle that will define the future of our realm. It is not a time for division or discord. It is a time for unity and strength.We have come a long way and so many people have sacrificed their life, so many people have placed their trust on the hope that in this moment we will set aside our differences and fight as one. Our predecessors all died with the hope that we will get this right. They all gladly lay down their lives because they believed, the saw from afar the possibility of what can be. They believed in us all even when we had no i
Ser Novas, who had been skeptical moments ago, now wore a grave expression. "Traitors among us... This is a grievous offense. We must act swiftly and decisively to root them out."Lucius nodded in agreement. "Indeed, Ser Novas. The traitors pose a significant threat not only to our realm but to all of us here. We cannot allow their treachery to continue unchecked.But surely these can't be just mere allegations are they, you have proof and you have names.""Indeed we do...For days, we have been tracking the movements of every Alpha and nobleman in this room", Lucius said."You were what...", Hal Mer said."It was necessary, we had reason to do such", Lucius continued. "On whose orders....", Hal Mer sneered."On the orders of the crown and the Royal seal", The Queen replied. "We have reason to believe that some of you have been in league with the darkness so I charged Lucius with the task of fi ding out who it is"Magnus, who had been listening attentively, spoke up with a hint of an
As the two traitors, Alpha Nyx and Lord Randall, were led away from the council chamber, the atmosphere grew even heavier. Lucius, who had played a crucial role in uncovering their treachery, was tasked with overseeing their execution.The courtyard outside the palace was chosen as the site for their punishment. Alpha Nyx and Lord Randall were brought before a crowd of onlookers, including members of the council, nobles, and commoners. They were placed on their knees, their hands bound, and their heads lowered.As Lucius stepped forward to carry out the sentence, Alpha Nyx and Lord Randall, realizing the gravity of their situation, began to plead for mercy. Their voices quivered with fear and desperation as they begged for a chance to explain themselves."Please," Alpha Nyx implored, his eyes filled with remorse, "I know what I did was wrong, but I did it out of a misguided belief that I was protecting our kind. Spare me, and I will spend the rest of my days atoning for my sins."Lord
