Chapter 39: Recall This Feeling Later
Luveas nodded and stayed silent throughout the journey.
Their journey took another countless hours before they arrived at a village, a deserted village. There were cottages but, the buildings collapsed to the ground. The wild grasses grew abundantly, covering nearly half of them. The walking trails were all covered by dirt, remnants of the explosion, and moss took over some of the places.The smell of decay and burnt wood lingered in the air for there were lots of dried-up skeletons covered in clothes lying around; some still held swords and arrows. Some got arrows piercing their skulls and bodies.Amethyst froze where she stood. Her chest tightened. The memories of the horrendous day flashed in her mind. She could vividly hear the screams and cries of her kin floating around as if she had stepped back to the past; to the day when humans ambushed her, once peaceful and thriving, village.The elf covered her ears when their voices only grew loudeRelated chapters

On the other hand, Amethyst pursed her lips and followed Luveas to the burial site. There, she saw mounds everywhere. Each mound was showered with flower petals.Again, the elf found her composure slipping away slowly. Her chest tighten as she got emotional. All of her people were lying there, resting in eternal slumber. She couldn't believe she'd be one among the elves in Ancea who mourned the loss of her entire tribe; she hoped some survived and hid in the woods...She glanced at Luveas. He was busy placing the bones in the holes that he had dug out. Her heart ached, but it wasn't because of anger. It was more like she was touched deeply by his unexpectedly humble side.Tears filled her eyes. "Thank you, Luveas..." she said faintly. 'Now, I'm glad I marked you as my husband...' she added inwardly....After burying all the bones, Luveas went into the woods. "I want to find a flower that suits your sister," he said before he went fo

Amethyst nodded. "Yes, and please repeat after me...""Wait, wait..." Luveas stopped her. "What Oath are we talking about now?"Amethyst eyed him piercingly. "Are you doubting me?"Luveas shook. The elf nodded. "Then, since you have nothing else to say, then follow what I say. From today onward and until death do us part, say my name, is mine and I, say your name, am hers. I shall be granted freedom to roam Ancea just as her."Luveas hesitated. "Uh, that sounds so strange for an oath...""Just do it!" snapped the elf. She was getting impatient for she wanted to end the process soon. Luveas, despite his wariness, said, "From today onward and until death do us part...""Say my name, is mine and I, say your name, am hers.""...Amethyst Elan is mine and I, Luveas Dayn, am hers. I shall be granted freedom to roam Ancea just as her."Amethyst beamed in satisfaction. Then, she glanced at his chest which was h
The Bound Of Love Chapter 42: Forget Everything And Remember The Warmth
Luveas began, "During my childhood, my parents were killed. Humans ambushed us when we were picnicking in the palace backyard..."Melancholy danced in Luveas' weary eye when he revisited the painful memory lane. Humans appeared out of nowhere and killed his parents. Strangely, on the day of the former king and queen's assassination, not a single guard appeared on the scene. That moment was still a mystery to him until today."I was too young to understand anything and the one thing I knew was humans took me in as something they studied," he added painfully. His voice bore pure hatred when he mentioned 'studied'. Amethyst knitted her brows. "Something they studied?" She had no idea Humans would do such a thing to other races.Luveas nodded. "Humans studied the endurance of young vampires to estimate the strength of adult vampires. They wanted to find the best weapon to kill us if they could find our weaknesses,” he paused again, seemingly inhaling a deep breath although it wasn’t cert

Amethyst stayed silent. "You tell me how far you can go. I leave that choice in your hands," she said, trying to lead him. But, her mien stayed the same; no changes in her emotions. She was calm and fixated. Luveas fidgeted. "But, what if I want to take it too far? Would you allow it?"Amethyst smiled. "Of course, I would allow it," she responded. "You are the only person who gets such permission from me."Because of the spousal markings.Luveas eyed her keenly. "I might treat you as someone dear to me.""Treat me as how you like. I am yours, remember?"Luveas stayed silent. He forgot about that. After all of the fiasco during the day, he forgot about the oath.Then, he asked, "But, what if I want us to get intimate tonight? Would that become a problem for you?" He thought he ought to ask that crucial question for he had no idea what she was thinking.Amethyst smiled even more widely. "That would not become a problem. You are my traveling companion and we can get physically close..."
The Bound Of Love Chapter 01: A Permanent Separation
Everything happened too fast. The misfortune came like an avalanche and no one expected doomsday was coming again after so many years of living in peaceful hiding. In a once peaceful village of the White Elf Tribe or the Healer Elves, a cruel onslaught took place; humans namely bandits, poachers and black merchants ambushed and pillaged their village.The screams and cries of the grieving elves poisoned the peaceful air. The weather turned dark and murky adding tension to the already tense scene."Run for the forest!"The elves shouted as they ran away from the river where the humans emerged fully armed. The river that flowed down from the mountain was the passage that humans used to sneak into the village as the mountains were the borders that separated Ancea from Numany the human territory and Luthien the vampire territory. Elves, young and old, who couldn't fight, fled into the forest where they find refuge from Mother Nature. Innocent animals scattered everywhere but some perish
The Bound Of Love Chapter 02: Fleeting Freedom
Suddenly, the sound of flapping wings came to her hearing and she lifted her face. A pigeon had just flown into the cage and landed on the shoulder of the elf who sat beside her. She saw the elf gently caressing the pigeon's silky head and heard her say, "I understand and thank you".When the pigeon flew out again, Amethyst asked the brown-eyed elf, "What did it tell you?"The tired elf looked at her and answered, "It says, we're now in Numany, the human territory."Amethyst's face turned pale and so did others.Suddenly, the carriage, that carried the cage, came to an abrupt stop, forcing the captives forward in their seats"Get out, you lots!"A rough voice along with the loud banging on the cage, shook everyone.The elves in the cage got out, and their hands were bounded as soon as they stepped on the ground. Then, they walked on foot, literally dragged, towards a massive tent that was located far from where they were dropped off. Along the way, humans were everywhere and they wer

"But, why?" Amethyst asked seriously amidst her confusion. The elves exchanged glances among them. Then, one of them revealed in a whisper, "Wearing this dress helps to please the eyes of men..."Amethyst went mum. That was unexpected but heart-wrenching!The azure-eyed elves looked at the surprised Amethyst and one of them added, "...this place is a pleasure house that the humans established and we're just slaves here.""Yes, we have no power here but to follow their commands to continue living," the other one said and grievance embedded in her voice. "And you are one of us slaves meant to pleasure the humans.""What?" Amethyst was dismayed by the shocking truth. "Hey, are you done in there?!" a man's rough voice along with the loud bang on the door, took all three elves jumping in fright."W-we're almost done!" the female elf replied to the man who waited outside. Amethyst eyed the two pitiful elves before her. No, she was pitiful too because soon her fate would be the same as th
The Bound Of Love Chapter 04: Sold Again
Two men, different from before, dragged her out of the cold dungeon. Amethyst was too weak to stand on her feet and thus, had to rely on the men's strength to lift her. They went out through the same back door and reached a waiting carriage. There, a tall man wearing a black mask that covered his entire face was waiting."The elf is here!" Lord Leteas said as he beamed at the mysterious masked man. "What happened to her?" asked the man when Amethyst's dirty, weak and battered body came into his view. Plus, her tattered and soiled nightdress was disturbing to see. Also, she reeked of blood! Lord Leteas smiled and replied, "Well, she misbehaved and thus was sentenced to confinement to correct her manners. But, I assure you that she has broken nothing on her body. It's our creed to make sure anything we sell still retains its highest quality."It was a happy day for Lord Leteas when he heard about a mysterious wealthy man looking for golden-eyed elves. The greedy lord reached out to h
