(Werewolf world).
In the werewolf realm, an eerie quiet settled, disrupting even the birds' usual songs. The atmosphere was heavy with sorrow as thousands of people mourned the loss of their queen, Luna.
Among the grieving crowd, Andrew's heartache was the most profound.
"They truly cherished each other," whispered one of the mourners, hinting at a deep connection.
A man whispered amidst mourners, "The curse seems to be taking effect." One man from the crowd, replied, "His world will undergo a devastating transformation with no chance of return.
"This curse is linked to the moon, but Luna is innocent. It was the erroneous act of King Andrew. the witch had to curse him, that triggered this calamity."
"Let fate unveil the unknown," he added sorrowfully.
From off amidst the crowd;
Andrew gazed downward with a sense of sorrow, "I should have heeded your advice."
His appearance became inconsequential to him, as onlookers observed him with sympathetic eyes.
Andrew appeared devastated, his expression a blend of astonishment, sorrow, and hopelessness. His eyes were swollen, red, and filled with tears, his eyelids filled with uncontrolble weeping.
His complexion was pale, tinged with a gray hue, and his lips were parched and chapped. His hair was unkempt, tousled in all directions, and his attire appeared crumpled .
Every crease on his face seemed to reflect his anguish, his grief, and his shattered heart. He resembled a man who had lost his mooring, his beacon of light, and was now adrift in tumultuous waters.
He remained silent except for repeating the earlier word he had uttered, as he gazed upward, longing for his dear wife who was absent.
.....
(Human world).
A dark mist emerged from Prince Lucian's hand, and Lily gasped in shock. "You're practicing dark magic!" she exclaimed. "Took you long enough to notice," he replied. He raised his hand and choked her, causing Lily to die instantly.
"Lily" Acia yelled as she saw her best friend lying motionless on the floor. She glanced around frantically, but a large man pinned her down, preventing her from moving.
. "Lily, please wake up!" Acia cried out. Although she was just a child, she understood much more than most kids her age she knew Lily is dead.
"How can someone die like that" she thought welled.
Meanwhile, the focus shifted to Arola and Derek, the ideal couple who seemed like a perfect match made in heaven.
"How could you choose him over me just because he's the king?"
Lucian asked desperately. "You love me, don't you? You only love him for his power and wealth, right?"
"Never!" Queen Arola retorted. "I love Lucian for who he is, not for anything else."
"Shut up!" he shouted angrily.
"I loved you arola but it's your fault you left me for him now you are causing your death" he laughed wickedly.
"Remember your promise to us," King Derek said. "You won't forget your promise, will you?" His eyes were filled with despair.
"Of course not. I won't harm your precious daughter," came the reply.
"Because you chose him, you're suffering like this," he said.
"Can we hug our daughter?". Arola asked sadly
Queen Arola asked. Prince Lucian smiled tiredly and replied, "Let her go; we don't always want to be the villains." he smiled sheepishly.
Acia was released and quickly ran to embrace her mom and dad.
"Daddy, Mommy," she said, trembling. "Come here," Queen Arola said to her daughter. Acia stepped closer and whispered something, "Make sure you keep the pendant safe."
She said in a low voice but what acia saw next nearly caused her to lose her soul.
She saw blood oozing from her mother's mouth, and when she looked to the other side, her father was also bleeding heavily. "Mom, Dad!" she called out, trembling. "Acia, take care of yourself," her mother said. "Mommy, no! Your baby is still young; don't leave me!" she cried.
"Daddy, we haven't finished playing the guessing game," she said, trying to comfort herself. "M...y baby, take care. Mom loves you," Queen Arola gasped, struggling to breathe. "You will be fine," King Derek reassured her.
"Goodbye."
"Mom, Dad!" Acia screamed in agony.
She saw her parents' lifeless bodies in front of her; they had been murdered. How could life have any meaning without Lily, her mom and dad?.
"Oh, princess, I poisoned your parents with the venom from my dark magic," he said casually. "Just kill me!"
she screamed. "You can't take your own life, niece. I still need your blood."
Her mouth fell open in shock. "You're still so young, Acia," he smirked, licking his lips.
When you turn eighteen, your true self will emerge, and I will use your blood to gain immense power. Do you really believe I will honor my promise to your parents? I won't. Just wait until you're older. You come from a pure royal fairy lineage, and I need your blood.
.....
I took a deep breath as I came to understand where my future was headed. In just a few days, I will turn eighteen, and I feel like I'm expected to be a source of strength for someone like my uncle. I plan to escape, and I'll let Alex know, she thought to herself.
She looked at herself; even though her purple eyes were among the rarest, they enhanced her beauty.
Acia possesses a stunning face characterized by a heart-shaped jaw, prominent cheekbones, and a petite nose. Her beautiful purple eyes stands out from all of her appearances.
Her disheveled raven-black hair frames her face, emphasizing her pale complexion. Clad in ragged clothing with faded colors and frayed edges, even though her uncle had neglected her , she still exudes a quiet strength and resolve.
There's a hope and defiance in her eyes, even as they reflect a mix of sadness, fear, and determination. Her purple eyes seem to express a form of desire for freedom and connection. She carries herself with a slight slouch, suggesting she has been bending for too long. Hunched shoulders and a bowed head contribute to her vulnerable and defeated demeanor.
She heard a knock on the door, and her heart raced with fear at the thought that her uncle might want to kill her before she turned eighteen. Trembling with anxiety, she said,
"Come in." A small voice responded, and she realized it was Elizabeth, her assigned maid.
"Elizabeth?" she thought, surprised. She had completely forgotten that if it were the king, queen, or Floria, they would enter without knocking.
Elizabeth is one of the maids who delivered a message from the king to her and has since become friends with Alexander and Inyan. However, Floria has been spoiled since childhood, which might explain why she enjoys bullying her and supports the king and queen. She sighedI
Although she has been well-fed, it's not due to her uncle's concern for her; rather, he intends to use her to gain power.
"Princess" Elizabeth called out, and she looked up, snapping out of her trance. "There's a way for us to escape now," she said to her.
Immortal realm.
....
Blood was mercilessly scattered across the floor. A man sat majestically in a chair, exuding an aura of power. Two other men were chained, their bodies barely recognizable. "Do you really think your little trick can work on me?" he spoke. "How dare you poison my drinks? It's foolish of you to think the poison would affect me," he smirked. "Please spare us, your majesty," one of the men stammered.
"Spare you?" he replied with a smirk. "I am the devil; you know I will never show mercy. You know my rules," he smiled. A bright light emanated from his hand, and the men were obliterated, leaving no trace of flesh behind—only blood remained.
He wiped his hands on his kerchief before stepping out the door, where the bright sunlight illuminated his face, highlighting his striking features, including his beautifully sculpted nose and sharp jawline, complemented by his stunning blue eyes that resembled the ocean.
Although devils are typically depicted with horns, he possesses a dangerously captivating beauty. As the sole prince of the immortal realm, it is said that he shows no mercy; not even his father can compel him to do anything against his will.
"Your majesty" his came to his side and said beside him.
"Your attention is needed the king want to discuss something with you" his peronal guard said
"I wonder what the old man want again" devilin said non challantly.
