Keeping himself in check, Wulfric cleared his throat and tried to bring the princess back to reality.
"Have you released all the pent-up emotions? Shall we begin?" He took a stand facing Luna. "Let us see if you can accomplish all the moves you just completed with an actual opponent. Topple me down."
"That's it?"
Luna clarified as she rotated her neck, then bends her knees alternately, stretching her taut muscles. She w
Time passed quickly and it has been more than a week since Luna arrived at Contancia. Every day she trains her gifts and skills.Her body was soon covered with bruises and small wounds. But her gift of sight still failed to come back to her."Urgh! How come I still cannot see anything (visions)?"Luna shouted while sitting crossed legged. Her eyes closed, was supposedly meditating.She was doing this at the edge of the veranda surrounding one side of the castle. Strands of her hair were in array as the wind blows and flew it in all direction.Opening her eyes, she heaved a sigh massaging her legs while murmuring to herself."My legs is already dead. How much more meditation do I need, to adapt to this world's energy? This is so annoying!"Morga had explained to her that her visions, may be hindered by the fact that the concept of time in the Land of Lore passed faster compared to the human world. A week spent in here may
Wulfric cannot stop the excited youth from dragging him all the way to the gate. All those who saw felt admiration and amazement for the overzealous girl.If anyone from the Kingdom would be asked as to who is brave enough to demand anything from the uptight general, only a few can be mentioned. Even the princesses themselves respects him and still feels fear every time they look upon his scarred face.Therefore, just like the page in the castle, they were shock to see "The Wolf" with his ruthless face smiling, willingly towed by the princess.
After an hour of riding, Luna began to wonder if what they seek will take more time to reach.She cannot get any straight answer from Wulfric. With increased paced she rode right beside him."Is it still far? How much farther do we need to go?""We are almost there."“B
"Wandering Mirror of the Moon?""Yes, because along with the moon it wanders around, never found in the same place.""How?”Not comprehending Wulfric's words, Luna knitted her brows."This whole place, the pond, the waterfalls. Moves around, making its location unpredictable. The Mirror of the Moon does not appear to just anyone. No existing map can point you to its specific spot. If it chooses to conceal its location no one can find it. Only to those who were invited, will it reveal its location.""Really? It keeps changing its location? So, once we leave, we can never find this place again unless invited?""Yes, no traces of its existence will remain and this part of the forest will go back to the way it is. Until the next one is invited and again its brilliance shall be revealed. It is a resting place for those seeking guidance. A respite to wandering souls and a place of healing for the broken."Since time immemorial the Mir
The sun was already setting when the Luna and Wulfric emerged from the cluster of trees.Seeing the red-orange hue of the sky, disoriented Luna. She was expecting the bright moon to greet her. Still looking confused, Luna was ushered by Wulfric to her horse."What-"When Luna finally got her head sorted and wanted to ask Wulfric to explain. She saw the giant of a man already galloping away."Forget it. Yeah... I know... Enchanted... Why did I ever have to ask?" Lips extended in a pout, Luna followed muttering to herself.The journey back was uneventful and they soon reached Mirage Castle.Luna and Wulfric went up and the rest parted to go back to their own dwellings.Though Wulfric, as the General, has his own quarters at the palace. He seldom stays there. He has his own dwelling to go home to and was only accompanying the princess.While in the lift, Luna's mind was still stuck at that mysterious pond they visited. And her fro
After making sure that Luna got inside the castle safely. Wulfric did not leave just yet.He waited for few minutes before a shadow appeared beside him.Wulfric did not even blanch a little and directly spoke without looking back."Speak."The hazy image of a shadow messenger
The General was guessing it would take a while for Princess Lamea to come. Thus, he did not expect to see her waiting for him as soon as he entered the room.There were no guards visible around. An indication that the princess had dismissed them and does not wish anyone to overhear their conversation."Something is amiss."Her grim countenance in full display, the moment he arrived. Her words though softly spoken still echoed along the walls of the empty throne room.Wulfric was about to kneel and genuflect. However, Princess Lamea waived her hand in dismissal and instead urged him to come closer."It is only the two of us, Wulfric. No need for formalities. Now, tell me.”"Yes, Princess Lamea. After moonrise today, an attack to the Eastern border caught our soldiers by surprise.""The Elite Guards of Grendlar? Are you certain?" Her brows creased in contemplation.Wulfric did not have to voice out his affirmative response.
"It is true. It already happened." Was Princess Lamea’s dejected answer to her sister’s silent query. “No…”She was too late. Again.Like a wilted flower, Morga crumpled and collapses at the seat next to her sister’s. Her almond shaped e
