Jamal Kunis POV Was it just me or was my head getting clearer and clearer? I tried my best not to believe that there was some sort of hangover from the curse the Dark Witch had placed on me that lived on till this day but as the days went by, I was having a feeling that I was wrapped around more dark magic than I knew or cared to realize. The way back from the cave we had fought to the palace of the wolf world was not as treacherous as the going. Unlike the going where I had tailed the White Witch, we came back in unison and it was easier to keep an eye out for danger. The outcast settlement I had noticed before was now gone and according to the White Witch, there was a perfect explanation to that. The souls of the dead in the Outback often times needed to feed on the souls of others to keep them attached to the mortal world. As such, the souls of mortals were easy targets and raiding settlements was one way to make sure that they had excess souls to keep them locked on earth. “Why
Jamal Kunis POV “I don’t know. In the library. He is always there. He almost lives there.” She wiggled the fish as she spoke, absentmindedly staring at it and admiring her win. “Is he really my twin?” The question hit me in the face and I looked down at her. “Why would you ask that? Of course, he is.” “Well, my friends say that twins are usually alike. And he behaves nothing like me.” And neither you like him, I thought. I bent down to level with her. “If you both behaved the same how will we tell who is who?” I joked. Summer giggled at the joke. “I am a girl; he is a boy. It is easy to tell.” “Everybody has a separate behaviour, a distinct demeanour. So if your brother likes to read, then he likes to read. Not even twins are alike. But that doesn’t stop him from being your brother and that shouldn’t stop you from loving him.” “I do love him.” “That’s the spirit.” I encouraged her. “Now, could you go outside and throw that fish away it is staining the whole floor.” “OK, Daddy.
Methis Delis POV “Alright. Make another guess.” I crunched my face, forcing myself not to laugh at whatever he would say next. “Ehh. Let’s see.” He raised his eyes to the ceiling, thinking of his next guess. “YES!” “Don’t!” I exclaimed still trying to force myself to stay stoic. If I laughed again, my tummy might hurt. “I thought you wanted to hear it?” he whined like a little girl which was even making his whole act funnier. “Alright. Bring it on.” “You have a hot crush on one of the footballer in the city team we are reporting on and you are to interview him today.” A crooked smile crawled up the side of his mouth. “You are nervous, are there butterflies in your tummy?” At this point gripping the table was all it took me from not screaming the laugh I was holding. “There are no butter – “ I began laughing again. Some of the waiters who must have noticed my mood earlier were not giving me looks. “Please don’t woo him.” Xander continued talking. “Those professors giving you the
Jamal Kunis POV Was it me, or was Conrad actually just growing beard? I laughed within myself for noticing that little detail amidst all that was happening. I had never taken time to observe his face under certain conditions. The candle that was underneath him in the dark room lit his jaw and obscured the rest of his face from the light. It was 12 the midnight and we were in a forest just on a clearing the White Witch had made for us. After my guard had left the castle, he came back immediately with telling me that he had met the White Witch on her way here. The White Witch informed him that she needed me at her place this night and that it was concerning the broken staff, the very reason I had sent a guard at her in the first place. I knew I could not miss an appointment with the White Witch. Not now when I desperately had unanswered questions so once it was dark, I took Conrad along and we both headed over to the White Witch before she led us to this place. It was a full moon so
Methis Delis POV Matchdays were loud. It was the loudest thing you could ever imagine. Think of sitting at a club far away from the dance floor in the exact spot the speaker stood and it was blasting on 200 Percent volume directly in your ears. Whatever noise you must have imagined it's probably half of what these fans were making here. And the game had not even begun. Maybe I was exaggerating it because Xander seemed to love it but for someone who has, all her life, abstained from noise, this was too plenty. It was more than torture. The day before when I and Xander arrived at the stadium, we had to go to the training camp where all the players were training for the game they had at hand. There we did what of expected of us and did a bunch of interviews with a lot of the players and the members of the coaching staff. We even interviewed some dedicated fans who had come out to watch the training. While we spoke to the fans, all I could think of was how someone in their right senses
Jamal Kunis POV It has been two days since I was in the forest that night when the White Witch had tried to communicate the Moon Goddess to reveal unto me who my mate was and unsurprisingly, it worked. I never doubted the White Witch powers. After I blacked out that day, I appeared in a river the colour of the moon. I sat there for a long time, alone pondering on life. I was told that I had only spent a few minutes’ unconscious but to me it felt like I was out for years before a glimmer of something came. I had sat by the river side for hours not knowing what to do. Eventually I got bored so I started looking around. I found the answers behind an old rock. Ancient scripts were engraved on the back of a stone and while reading it, it sounded oddly like a prayer. I said the prayer and the runes faded. Another set of runes appeared and instructed me that in about an hour time, a shooting start was going to appear past the moon. If I was lucky enough to see the star, then I should proceed
Jamal Kunis POV "Why take the children along?" Conrad asked. "Methis might be a young girl, but she is still a mother." Conrad's face broadened with a smile. He knew where this was going. "And there is nothing a woman likes more than her children." He patted me roughly on the shoulder. "She'll do anything for them. Even come back to the wolf realm." "I like the sound of that. Do you wish to call a council meeting on this one?" Conrad asked. "No. I hate the sound of old lads debating over matters that concern them not." Conrad took a bow and walked out. "You are a good man, my friend!" he called back as he made his way out. *** I waited till it was well into the night before I broke the news to my children. Though I tried my best not to make it obvious that we were going in search of their mother. I let them stay up a little later than they were used to hoping the intoxicating effect of sleep that they weren't used to could act as some buffer to make the news easier to break. I
Methis Delis POV After loads of tea and finally, though against my better judgement, some sleeping pills, I was able to fall back to sleep but this time I was sure to do it on my bed so I had all the comfort to prevent me from waking back up. Luckily for me, daylight came in a flash. it was a big relief to finally have to leave the house and carry on with my life if that was going to stop me from overthinking about the past. By the way, it was just the past, not like there was anything I really valued from the past. They are just memories at the end of the day. I started the morning with a cup of strong black coffee. I could only hope that there were no health hazards waiting for me at the end of the road. First there was me taking sleeping pills to help me fall asleep at night and then there was me just barely 6 hours later, taking black coffee to keep me awake. Surely I might just be walking on tight rope here. I waited before the day had broken very well before I left the house.
