104 Incoming

Clarence

The night was silent from the monsters. Yet it wasn't from the crickets, frogs, and other insects that are making sound around the temple-like house. I tried to sleep but I couldn't. Guinevere and Gibson weren't sleeping. Davin had fallen asleep, like Danica and Rosy and other girls.

My back itch and there's a hint of pain from the muscles inside. It is squeezing and it felt like something is coming out from my skin. I uncomfortably flip into my stomach and glanced at Guinevere who is outside the door with Gibson. They are talking silently.

The night was cold and it is surprisingly clean. There's no mosquito biting us or what. Nobody has complain about it. Was it true that Gibson talk to the mosquito and feast on other living that has a blood?

I glanced at Davin who seemed like dreaming, and moaning. I sat up and stare at up. Was he having his visions right now? He move closer to see that he's sweating and when I hold him, he's cold. I gasped and pull out my hand when I felt electricity and few images appears on my mind like it was from the electricity.

"Davin?" I mutter and hold his hand. My soul feel like grabbed inside his mind, swirling and very painful in head.

I fall down on the ground and saw Leona. Wearing a black dress, black heels that are sinking on the grass. I just realized that we are on the grounds and fountains of the Gods and Goddesses. I groan in pain as I look around. Leona has gigantic men with her. Men that are bald, very disgusting skin and got an eye only. They don't have any nose bridge just two holes on the nose part.

"What are you going to do?" The voice caught me. I look directly at Guinevere who has two men holding her. She is petite and seemed that she couldn't fight. Of course she couldn't fight in army combat. "Kill us, like the way you did to Adhiti."

"Guinevere." I mutter but I couldn't move. My whole body is in pain and something twisted on my back.

"Maybe, I will." Leona smirks grabbing a sword and lifting it. "This sword is from your château. Am I right?"

"You are, but aren't you worried on what these people here thought about you?"

"They wouldn't do anything. They are my students and they will do as what I wish."

"Do it. Kill me with that sword, and I swear to you, you'll never live happy." Leona lifted the sword and it shines on the sun that blinded me for a while.

"NO." I only mutter and I was dragged again.

I fall down flat on the floor and groan in pain on my back. I couldn't contain the pain. I scream loudly and shut my mouth just to keep quite or perhaps grit my teeth. I heard them going toward me. I heard Guinevere's sweet voice hushing me.

I closed my eyes and I saw visions. I saw people coming to us. I saw them. Their beasts face, their guns and their sharp things. They are laughing though it was too away from us. I murmur that they are coming but it seemed that they are preoccupied on me.

"Let's…" I breathed. I am run out of breath from the pain that I am feeling. "G-geet out…" I murmur.

"It's going to be okay." Anya said. I growl at them in animalistic way and Davin is standing right now. I look directly into his eyes.

"They are coming!" I scream at them.

"We are safe here, nobody is going to come here." Gibson said. Though he was a God he don't have an instinct like I had.

"Leona… Leona's people!" I scream at them.

"They are coming for us." Davin finally said. Fuck him for not saying anything a while ago.

Lancelot

I was stunned to see her almost naked. She has a beautiful body inside. I knew it. Though I feel guilty to myself for seeing the part of her breast where her light brown nipples are peeking for me. Her whole body was a masterpiece from head to toe as the silk robe molds her whole body like her skin. Though I wanted to look at her more, I have to respect her as a woman.

I don't know what else she hates. I am sure that she doesn't hate me at all. She wasn't too conservative. She wasn't really too lady-like. She was very peculiar. The whole walk was worth it as we talk and laugh a little about ourselves.

The kiss she gave stunned me. It was really sweet and no woman has ever done that to me that wakes me up. Probably they would think that I won't like to be kissed. I had kissed few woman and had a peek, but no woman has ever stir me up, and make me feel like I was the luckiest man in the world.

I turn back and turn back in front of the door and listen to her inside. She got a sweet voice and all. I heard her prayer. I don't understand few of things but I know that she's suffering from something. After a few moment, I don't hear her voice anymore. I waited there for almost an hour yet she hasn't come. Laurence, youngest brother walk toward me. He's been the one who gather the torches and put it on our way as we walk around.

"So, how was it? I thought you guys are already sucking faces." I frown at him and cover his mouth. I peek on the door. He tried to peek as well but I push him. She's lying down. Is she sleeping? I hold him and push him away from the door.

"Would you bring me a very warm blanket?" he blink for a while and saluted. I look around to feel the same aura slithering like a snake around. Was it was the reason that she's afraid of the dark? Laurence was already here less than a minute and gave me the blanket.

"Isn't it odd?" Laurence asked me. He cock his head around. "It's full of darkness."

"That's why we need torches. Go, I'll take care of her from here."

"What about them?"

"Ignore them, their motives is her not us." Laurence didn't ask anything else and started walking away. Calvin was standing a bit far away from us. They have been listening to us and following us secretly. Of course just to make my first night with her perfect.

I open the door and glare at those shadows. I lifted my hand and show the light of Soul that was part of her give for me to show light to those who are in need. They all back away and run away. I should've done that for a long time but I have to find out if she wasn't evil. She wasn't though she has hatred in her heart that is slowing fading.

I walk toward her. It must be really cold here. I pull her dress gently and her robe to wrapped her around. I unfurled the blanket and gently put it on her. It didn't woke her up and I gather the oil lantern. I refill the oils. Once that I put light on it, I put it around to lighten the whole chapel and sat down few paces away from her.

I don't know that I had fallen asleep and I am already lying down on the long sit. I sat up and, wipe my mouth if there's any droll and then remove a thing on my eyes. There's none. I look directly on where she is sleeping. She's not there anymore and I just felt that the blanket is on me.

I heard voices outside. So I immediately got out and saw her paces away talking to a man in a black cloak. She is kneeling in front of him.

"God of Sky." She bow her head.

"It will be time for you to leave. Soul and Death are in danger." She look up at him in a snap on what the man told. "Rise my child." He scoop her chin and mutter something. They both look at me. She look back at him and murmur something. The man turn and she did left without saying anything at all.

I look at the man and now he is standing close in front of me that startle me. I bow my head and he smiled at me. He wasn't evil. In fact, he was all light and goodness. And, yes he was a God.

"Can't take your eyes off her?" he asked slyly.

"She's my soul mate, and I don't know when I can take my eyes off her."

"I'm not a God of Love or Goddess of Desire, but I would like to let you know that she's kind of femme fatale type."

"Femme fatale?" It was French and Femme is a woman inevitable.

"You got it." He even winks and the skies open and he left. I shook my head. Had he been outsideworld?

I told the cook to prepare a heavy food for Princess Althea, like the one they prepare for the knights and the Kings who visit their castle. The breakfast will be prepared on the pavilion. I dressed up and fix myself formally, I even take a bath for Princess Althea, and where I don't usually took a bath early in the morning. I am more of going there with the rest and start for sparring.

I heard the thump, thump, thump sound. The one I usually hear early in the morning. I wasn't mistaken it was the arrows and the target. But to my surprised, it was Althea, wearing the usual clothing. A white shirt that has buttons on the collar, long sleeve that is rolled up on her elbows, a skinny pants and boots.

She's doing the same thing. To my surprised, there are lots of arrows on the red target, the same spot at the same time and lots of arrows has been split open and until the other split again. She didn't even blink. She keep pulling arrows beside her.

She change direction and shoot every target right on the very middle. Commander Lopez just facilitate things while few of the guards started making an arrow to replace everything that she breaks.

"Hmmm," Calvin smelled me. "Did you take a bath early this morning?"

"Sod off." I felt Calvin's wet skin on my cheek that makes me revolt and push away. He keep laughing as my other brother even smelled me. I glare at them and walk off toward her. I bow to her. "Good morning, your highness."

She didn't say anything. Commander Lopez cleared his throat and I look at him. He wave his hand telling me not to bother her. But I stood beside her and watch her shook the arrows that hits the same spot on each targets. Even the farthest target. I look at Calvin who nodded and the amazement on his eyes was priceless.

I took my own bow and took the last arrow and shoot the farthest target. I glance at Calvin who shook his head.

"That didn't hit the target." I mutter. She sigh and only look into my eyes and walk off toward Commander Lopez. He gave a cloth for her and she wipe her sweats. "Althea, could you teach me how to do that one?"

"Think of the target. That's all it cost." I ask for another arrow and I think of the target. However, it didn't hit the very middle but between the red and the black that surrounds the red. "You are getting it a little." She told.

My father walk toward us and greet Althea. She greet him back and they talk as they walk toward the swords and other things that is used in battle fields and protection. Father called for me and I walk toward them.

"I need a smithy, lots of golds and silvers to cover the wood and steel if possible." She ask.

"My son here, will help you on what you needed."

"Thank you."

"Anything else, your highness?" Her emerald eyes catches mine. No smile at all. I wanted to see those smile today. It will completely make my day perfect.

"We will talk about it when we are done discussing on few more things." I bow to her.

"As you wish, my Princess." I smiled at her. There's no smile on her lips at all.
