The Fated Queen 60: Lily
There was a momentary silence that fell over everyone. The once morphed decayed bodies melded together by black ichor had completed dissipated from their sights. Even the once thrashing waters of the lake returned to their usual calm state. The only evidence that remained was the splattered ichor on their clothes and exposed skins, and the remnants of the bodies of critters that scattered the ground around. The Celestial text hovered and hummed around her body like a slow, spiraling vortex. The vibrant white Angelic wings bristled behind her as she remained hovered in the air. Lily peered down at her hands, her skin illuminated with a soft radiant glow. Her chest felt strangely light. As if a weight had been lifted from her soul. "Lily?" His voice reached her. Her head swiveled around until her eyes settled on Jayce. His chest was heaving lightly, as if he had sprinted all the way back here. He appeared unharmed, with his own share of ichor splattered on himself. His usual piercing
The Fated Queen 61: Willow
Well... This is... Uhm...Willow glanced about Aiden's semi destroyed living room with a slightly perplexed expression. The remnants of black ichor stained the wooden floor, leaving behind streaks to whatever creature was here. That should have been an eyesore if not for the silver haired Demon that sat cross-legged on the floor and the young girl braiding his hair as if they were long-time friends. Even Nol, wait, Myra had called him Xander, seemed uncomfortable by the intense glares he was receiving from both Jayce and Aiden. Lily seemed unsure of what she was witnessing, but it was also evident in her expression that she felt relief that her children were alright overall. Rayleigh, per usual, didn't seem phased nor interested in the turn of events, but Zalakai found great amusement in all of it. Amira stood close by to Aiden, keeping a watchful eye mostly on the two Alphas than the Demon with the child. She knew what they were capable of and was aware they would cause more damage t
The Fated Queen 62: Jayce
The firm soil crunched under the weight of his boots. The autumn air was brisk on his cheeks. Several other footfalls aligned with him. The soft embrace of Lily's fingers entwined with his settled his nerves. Slightly. The reassurance of what they were about to do wasn't enough for the Werewolf King. The tree line broke away to reveal the open dead clearing. It was only a few days ago when he charged through this forest and into this clearing. He didn't pay any mind to it before, but now that his head was remotely clear, he felt the heaviness in the air. There was an invisible weight in this clearing he hadn't felt before. A dark presence that lingered. He felt Nox stir within him. A low rumble in the back of his consciousness. A hunger. An intense craving to the darkness that haunted this place. Jayce felt ill at the thought. Lily squeezed his hand tightly. She felt his unease, just as it mimicked her own, but possibly for a different reason. Unlike the hunger his Wolf felt, he co
The Fated Queen 63: Lily
The weight of this place was heavy on her heart. As Jayce took a step back with the other men, the women surrounded her with both support and caution. She had a gist of what needed to be done, but still held the uncertainty of doing it. But the moment she knelt down and placed her hands on the ground, everything fell into motion afterwards. As if her powers surged forth on their own accord based on the emotions and thoughts she carried. Her desire? To rid this place of the darkness that consumes it. She could hear the humming in her ears and nothing else. Perhaps that was for the best. If she heard anyone or anything else, she wouldn't have been able to concentrate. "A-Amira..." A haunting voice drifted through her subconscious. Lily focused on the voice that probed against her thoughts. There was a presence within this cloud of death that blanket this space. No. There were two. "She's grown." A woman spoke. Her voice was tinged with nostalgia and longing. "Keep her safe." A man
The Fated Queen 64: Jayce
He crossed his arms over his chest as he bear witness to the scene before him. He knew the wind was played by Willow's Magic. Yet, the moment Lily's eyes turned white, it took every nerve in his body not to react. He wasn't aware of what was to happen, but he knew he trusted her. "She's a big girl." Zalakai's mocking tone caused Jayce to bristle with annoyance. "She's finally come to terms with what she is." "Out with it, Demon." Jayce growled as he side eyed him. Zalakai smirked deviously. His black eyes took on an eerie shine. "You can't continue to ignore it." "Leave him alone, Zal." Aiden warned him. "We're all on the same team." "On the contrary..." Zalakai held up a finger. "I'm team Rayleigh. If any of you fools died, I couldn't care less." "In that case, why stick around?" Jayce asked him. "If you're only here for the woman, you could easily stay hidden, yet you bother us with your presence." "Your majesty, I'm hurt." Zalakai feigned pain as he pressed his hand to his
The Fated Queen 65: Lily
Waves crashed against the cliff side. The warmth of the glaring sunlight seeped into her cheeks. The vast ocean before her was a sight she had seen once before. Stone steps led up to a crumbled temple. History etched in the cracks of the stonework. "This is unexpected." Her soothing voice reached Lily's ears. Azura grumbled pleasantly. Lily spun around, finding Leto standing on a lower step with her Wolves at her side. She hadn't aged a day. Suppose a Goddess wouldn't truly age. Leto smiled warmly with her hair draped over her shoulder in a braid. Brass leaves adorned through the twists of her hair. Seeing her again brought down emotions Lily had fought to keep locked away. Anger, mostly, but also relief. "Who is that, Lily?" Amira's voice broke through her. Lily swiveled around and found not only Amira close by, but Willow and Rayleigh as well. "A Goddess..." Willow's words came out in a breath as her knees wobbled for a moment, but Rayleigh steadied her. "If I had known I was
The Fated Queen 66: Willow
The presence of the Goddesses was overwhelming. It surprised her that her knees hadn't buckled yet. Leto's kind and welcoming smile. Hecate's cool yet stern gaze. Artemis's curious incline of her head. It was an unexpected trio to come across. But perhaps, not so much unexpected. Lily was the first to follow Leto up into the ruined temple. The Wolves that acted as a barrier had curved around Lily as well in the same protective manner. Though, she believed it was more so for the sake of the Wolf that resided in Lily now than the Human counterpart. Amira took her place alongside Artemis without question. The Huntress placed a hand on Amira's shoulder and gave her a squeeze of reassurance. There was a silence between them, but words didn't need to be spoken. There was an understanding between them that a shared look was the only thing necessary. Rayleigh trailed along after Amira quietly. She seemed out of place here. Was she questioning her own beliefs? Willow was aware that Rayleig
The Fated Queen 67: Rayleigh
What a way to stand out. Rayleigh silently observed the other women that accompanied their Goddesses. She was unaware of Lily's devotion to Leto or if there was devotion at all, but the Goddess seemed rather doting on her. Like a mother to their child. Then there was Amira alongside Artemis, but instead of a parental figure that Leto aired for Lily, Artemis and Amira were as colleagues. A mentor and student, perhaps. Artemis had taken off her bow and was going over step by step of its creation while Amira listened intently. Rayleigh was mildly aware of Amira dabbling with bows over the past year now before crossing the waters to retrieve the Werewolf Queen. She just wasn't aware of how seriously Amira was taking the Hunter role now. Rayleigh glanced back as Hecate, a towering presence, glided in alongside Willow. Willow, a soft and innocent woman, looked out of place beside the night Goddess. Hecate, who not only radiated with otherworldly beauty but also had a confidence about he
