East region……Ella paced back and forth in the throne room, everything wasn’t going according to plan, in such a short amount of time everything had been ruined and a little girl's life was lost along the line. Where did she go wrong?She still couldn’t believe how her sister could do such a thing and to her own child at that, another thing she couldn’t believe was that Veratora was real, their mother always told them about her and that she wasn't to be trusted, what she took in exchange for a wish was always extreme.But Elena still went along and asked her for a wish. Did her search for power make her irrational? She had to do something about her before she ruined another person's life.She was lost in thought and wasn’t paying attention when the guards announced Serena’s arrival. Serena walked in, drawing her out of her dark musings. One glance at the girl showed she had been crying. Ella’s heart constricted with empathy. She knew Serena loved Stephen like a brother even if they j

Adrian dropped his long sword as he pulled out the daggers from Malik causing him to cry in pain and finally turned his attention to his opponent.Simon was waiting for him in the center of the sandy arena, unlike the others he was dressed in his full armour but his helmet was missing. Making his face a perfect target, because the armour he was wearing reduced Adrian's chance of hurting Simon. Simon took a short dagger in one hand, a curved dagger in the other.Tightening his grip on his daggers, he approached the knight. As he got closed, the guard fell into an attack stance, the short dagger was placed in front and the curved one behind him. "You can't beat me Noble," Simon said. It appeared his confidence has returned and it was now fueled by anger. Adrian figured he was trying to save face. He must find it humiliating to be challenged like this in front of his men.Adrian adjusted his step, circling to his right -- just outside the reach of the guard's short dagger. "Wanna bet,"

Belle searched through the books in the castle library and everyone keeps telling her the same thing, with a sigh she fell into the nearest chair, it's been a week now and she as found nothing to help StephenShe was in the final book that had anything related to magic induced coma when she felt some strange aura wrap around her. Belle git yo her feet moving away from the table to look around if anyone else was in the room with her."Who is there?" Belle asked but got no answer in return. Then a gush of cold air washed through the room and next thing Belle knew she was in a dark dirty old house."Whoever you are, this isn't funny, this prank is going too far," Belle said into the empty room but her voice just echoes off the wall of the house."I'm not someone you want to mess with" Belle said as a fog of smoke began to form and a figure was standing inside itBelle tried to make out what it was but she could see anything."Hello Belle" the figure said in an unearthly voice."Who are y

Then a knock came from the door and Alison came out of a room, Belle guessed it was her bedroom, as she opened the door shocked crossed her face..“My queen---" she exclaimed, surprised that she had come to her cabin. Elena push through the door and walked into the modest living room. Her nose turned up as she assessed the simple decor. She scoffed silently. “There is absolutely no need for pretence, Alison. I know you must hate me and wish me death---"“My queen----" Alison gasped in dismay. “Shut up and let me speak!” Elena snapped in contained rage. Alison swallowed. A little disappointed that the other woman had not come to make peace. She had been hoping that one day she would come around, and accept her relationship with her son. But it appeared it was nothing but a pipe dream. “I have come to offer you, your last chance at redemption, and if I were you, I will think well before I push further, the mother of a man which you have stolen!”“I'm sorry that you feel this way ---"

After their meeting was over Adrian and Serena went to their room after eating dinner. Once they were in their room Serena wrapped her hands around Adrian placing a quick peck on his lips Then He bent down, his lips against her cheek, brushing it lightly—and still that light touch sent shivers through her nerves, shivers that made her whole body tremble. "Serena, I want you" Adrian whispered. When she still said nothing, he brushed his mouth against the hollow of her temple. He traced the line of her cheekbone, his lips were against hers. "Make love to me Adrian, I want you too" she said before reaching up to wrap her hands around his neck and pulling him down so their lips could meet. He kissed her gently, carefully, but it wasn’t gentleness she wanted, not now, not after all this time, and she knotted her fists in his shirt, pulling him harder against her. He groaned softly, low in his throat, and then his arms circled her, gathering her against him as he deepened the kiss, as the
