Zolan and Luc saw how the determination was showing on Evie's face. They guessed that the thoughts currently occupying the princess' mind would somehow be related to her unique abilities and what she had planned for this journey to the heart of the forbidden lands. Zolan recovered first before Luc. "Now get out of there and go get dressed!" Zolan yelled at the other vampire who was still standing in the stream when he just stood there and looked as though he was still trying to pull himself out from a…-

The night sky was not as clear as the night before from where the group had settled down. There were smoke-like wisps of mist creeping right at the trees' crowns, covering the thick forest like greyish white blanket. Without the glowing stones, Evie was certain she would not be able to see anything at all because of the inky-black darkness. While Elias was preparing her meal and Reed started setting up her tent, Evie approached Zolan who was busy checking on Luc's wound. He seemed to be the worst…

Evie bravely gripped her weapon and pulled her hood back. The moment her eyes landed on the figure of the savage beast her body froze up. This beast was unlike anything she had imagined. It was a far cry from what was the worst possible thing she could have come up with in her imagination! "F*ck! What kind of savage orc is this?! This one's not normal!!" she heard Levy's yell and Evie could hear the word orc reverberating in her mind. Orc? This was an orc?! How did an orc find its way across their…

Evie had ended up spending the night in the tent that the men had set up for her while the vampires, except Elias took turns at carrying out guard duty in the area. As soon as daylight came, the group continued on their journey. Somehow, they had fortunately not encountered any beasts which Zolan had mentioned that was quite rare. "Now this is strange. The beasts tend to increase in number the closer we get to the heart of the land. Normally, by this time, we should've encountered at least one savage…

"We will stay here for tonight Your Highness," Zolan said when they finally stopped moving, "the savage beasts usually roam around at night, and they tend to be more ferocious and are quite harder to deal with." "Savage beasts?" Evie asked as she sat on a round and smooth glowing stone. It was already dark but due to the glowing stones that were scattered everywhere, Evie could see the men even without the light from any fire source. "They are the beasts between the darkwolves and dragons. They are…

Leon immediately squatted before Evie at Zolan's signal. "Please get onto my back, Princess." He said and Evie did as she was told without any hesitation. She was not going to pretend to be strong and end up slowing everyone down, or worse, endangering everyone's life. She knew when she can push herself and when to pull back. Once she was tucked securely on Leon's back, Zolan stood by her side and asked. "Are you ready, Your Highness?" "I'm ready," Evie replied Zolan and nodded at him with…

Evie turned and looked at the men. She felt touched at their willingness to follow along with her plans without questions. However, she could not possibly take all these able-bodied men with her. They are Gavriel's most trusted men, warriors most elite and the best of the bunch. There are people here who will be needing their protection as well. Evie thought of all these as her eyes looked around, noticing the older women and young children. They would need more protection than she did. "I am very…

Zolan was rendered speechless, not only because of the shocking thing that the princess had revealed about their dream but also from the way she spoke and brought herself. Was it even possible for a person to grow so much overnight? But then again, thinking back, Zolan realised that the princess had been maturing and changing over the course of time when she had been with the prince. Looking up at her at that moment, Zolan suddenly felt his entire being wanting to bow down to her. He did not know if she…

"Gavriel!!!" Evie screamed as her eyes flew open. She looked around wildly, eyes full of confusion. The first thing she saw was Elias crouching down at her side with worry plastered all over his face. "Princess! Are you okay?" the vampire asked as he helped her to sit up. Evie did not respond. Her eyes wandered around the area in confusion. They were currently in a forest, a beautiful forest filled with otherworldly things, strange ice-blue colored trees and colorful stones and glass-like flowers.…

Gavriel stood up where he fell, as if turning himself into the wall that would be protecting and shielding Evie and his men from any attacks of the dark fae itself. "All of you… enter the dungeons! Leave this creature to me!" Gavriel said without turning back to look at them. His gaze was firmly fixed on the slowly approaching dark fae. "No! You're coming with us!" It was Evie who screamed out with a broken voice. "We're not going to leave you!!! Gavriel!!" Evie who was held back by Leon, had her…
