Chapter 71 : Past - Achilleas & Amaltheia
A glimpse of the past
- A thousand years ago –
A man sitting at the top of the mountain, he stood up then looks around. He saw one of his men from the distance running towards him.
He spit the meat at his mouth and asked “What? “. His servant’s hesitantly look around and whisper “The mad king was here”
The young man glare at his servants and repeatedly asked “What is he doing here?”. The servant’s scrab the back of his head and says “You run from the house, the king was mad”
He rolled his eyes and took a deep sigh then waves his hands “I’ve got it. You’re dismissed”
He took a deep breath then look at the Sky and mumble “I hate those people”. He flinch when he heard a voice from the distance, he hesitantly walked towards it.
He saw his father- the mad king, angrily look at him. He calmed himself and flash his fake smile “Father !”.
The king clench his fist then throw a punch at his face and shout “Why did you run?”. He stood up gently wipe the blood from his mouth “I don’t want to marry”
His father angrily pulled his shirt and shout “You don’t need to worry marrying someone you didn’t love. We need power for our family”
If he wants to marry someone, it must be a person whom he loves. “Does he think marrying someone is easy? “ he thought
The king slams his hands at his face and took a deep breath and command their guards “take him”
“We apologize Prince Achilleas but the king’s order is absolute”
He tried to struggle and shake his hand but the guards are holding both of his side and forcefully enter him at the carriage.
He took a deep sigh as he surrender himself. He can’t win over from his father.
He put his head at the window as he look at the surroundings. He wasn’t happy with his father decision.
As the horse carriage continues to travel towards the house, his face became gloomy.
He took a glimpse at his father and saw his calm face. He couldn’t understand his father, why suddenly announce a marriage without his notice.
“Well, it can’t be helped. My father known as a mad king was an absolute” he mumbles.
He closed his eyes until the carriage stop. He blinks for a while and look outside.
Their house has a lot of guest. He can see it from distance, their lively gesture and the ambient light coming from inside. It seems they’re waiting for their arrival.
Their clan ‘werewolf’ was known for being a merciful and powerful entities living at this world, even the witch nor the human and the vampire will bow their head.
He took a deep sigh as he look at them with his bored face.
He can hear them clap their hands as he calmly walked aisle. His father was beside him waving his hands and say “Smile, today’s celebration is your marriage proposal”
He hasn’t known this woman whom his father wants to marry. It was their first time to meet each other.
He was walking behind his father until they stop at the center. Their he saw a woman wearing a beautiful dress smiling widely at them.
He constantly smile and whisper his father “Is that here?”. The King nod then clear his throat.
A servant walked towards them with a glass of wine and gently gives it to the King.
The King raised the wine and makes a toast “To my son and his lovely wife”. All of the guest clap their hands and make a toast.
The woman smile and took an imitative and extend her hands at him “Hi”. Prince Achilleas held her hands and shake then says “Hello”.
An old woman from her side smile then hugs towards the King.
The king smile and started a conversation “This is my son Achilleas”. The woman blushed as she hide her embarrassment from them.
“You daughter was so lovely the same as you” says the king
The old woman flushed a smile “Thank you”, suddenly an old man came out from their behind and smile “Your majesty” as he bow his head
The woman smile and cling to his side “Father !”
The King clear his throat and repeatedly says “This is my son Achilleas” he paused for a while and look at him “They are from D’Raizel’s family and this lovely woman” he paused for a while and hold the women’s hand and continue “I want you to meet their lovely daughter Amaltheia”
The woman flushed a smile and shakes the prince hand “Nice to meet you”
- Back to the present –
Dorothy and Alice combine their magic and cast a powerful spell. They cast a powerful barrier that can protect them from enemies attack.
The young man from the enemies shape shifts into his werewolf form and continuously attack them.
Alice step back and grisly hold Dorothy’s back shirt and push her to the ground.
Clona and Ryga duck from the ground while Mr. Tom defend himself using his claw.
Alice stood firmly as she looks at the woman. “She’s still powerful as ever. Eve have you forgotten our promise?” she thought to herself.
It seems the woman couldn’t recognize her, as she continuously attacking them.
A young man from the enemies smiled deviously and cast a spell. It’s a lullaby song. He started singing the enchants forbidden spell.
“That’s – that’s a lullaby song for their child” Alice think.
Adam & Eve happily love each other and their endless love brings a child to the world. Years passed by and the enemies killed them including their child.
On Eve’s last breath, she sings a lullaby dedicated to her child. Those people who heard that song started to vomit a blood and it became a forbidden lullaby to all.
Eve put a curse on the song. Those who remember their death will pay badly, as everyone was looking at them. No one tried to help.
Alice bite her lips, remembering the past make her head hurts.
The woman stops attacking and unconsciously feels at the ground. The young man from the enemies hurriedly took them and run away.
Ryga shout but the huge explosion emerges.
