Chronicles of a thousand realms: Saga 1

Part 3: Chaos is brewing

“Verena gets to choose whoever or whatever she wants to do. But heed my words, the one who seeks her out will stop at nothing to have her as his own.” Eiran spits his words out as he glares down at Finlo and Aarush. I wasn’t expecting this to happen at all. Why now all of a sudden? I think I’m going to be sick.

“I..I don’t know what’s going on right now…I’d prefer to just to pretend this isn’t happening. I don’t feel comfortable going with you and leaving my people alone and I’m certainly not afraid of whoever comes. If they’re here to kill me then I’ll stand my ground.” I knew deep down inside I was afraid and it didn’t help my eyes betrayed me by glowing a fiery yellow which Aarush and Finlo saw as they looked back at me as I spoke.

Eiran c***s his head puzzled by my words and lets out a hardy laugh. He looks back at me and sighs with a smile on his face.

“My dear Queen, my brother doesn’t want to hurt you. He wants to turn you into his bride. You’ve been fated with my brother, king of the gods. He’ll stop at nothing until he has you all to himself.”

I couldn’t help but laugh by his statement. The elvian guard look at me with confused horror on their faces as I continued to laugh. This sure wasn’t what I was expecting. I can see Eiran eyeing me as I move closer to his grylion.

“And what brings you here then king of the underworld?” I say coyingly as he raises an eyebrow while I begin to reach out and touch the grylion. I’ve never seen one in person until now. His paws were the size of the books in the library, not to mention how tall this grylion is. My height being at 5’0 aligns my eyes ever so perfectly to his nose. This beast for sure wasn’t something to mess with during a fight. He sniffed me and proceeded to lick me and place his head on my shoulder.

“Verena watch out!” Aarush yells as the elvian guard takes their fighting stance ready to attack when need be. “It’s fine Aarush. See? He’s not harming me.” The grylion continued to push his head into me begging for affection and I began to softly stroke his face and mane.

Eiran looks down at me and proceeds to mount off of his grylion. He stands taller than Aarush and Finlo. I couldn’t help but admire his chiseled face, solid yet soft muscles that gave him a god like shape and his hair braided back to give him a distinguished fighting look. He inches closer to me and places his cold rough hands under my chin to tilt up and meet his gaze.

“I’ll make a deal with you my queen”

Puzzled, I stopped petting his grylion and gave him my undivided attention.

“What’s that?”

Eiran bends forward to place his head next to mine grazing my ear with his lips. “It’ll behoove you to befriend me Verena. You’ll need me in the near future more than you know.”

I can’t help but blush at his approach making me want to feel more than just his lips on my ear. What am I saying?? I’m more annoyed with his whole tough guy act…very clique if you ask me.

I return the favor by whispering in his ear letting him feel my lips against his cold skin, “and what if I don’t?”

My body tenses up as he laughs while he wraps his hand around my neck, gripping me from the harsh reality that still lays between us.

“Your kingdom will fall, your people will perish, and everything you’ve known and loved won’t ever exist again with my brother’s wrath. If you want to spare the unnecessary bloodshed, I’d suggest you’d choose wisely in befriending a god like me.”

As I try to look around I could feel everything stop moving. It’s like if everything and everyone was frozen in time except for Eiran and I. Eirans grip on my neck gets tighter and he begins to lift me off the ground letting my feet dangle as he brings me closer into his embrace. “What will it be my dear queen?” He presses his nose against my neck kissing my skin with his soft lush lips. My body tingles from his touch and I try to wiggle from his grip but with no effort, I give up. As he brings me back to eye level still in his grip, I desperately search his icy blue eyes hoping for him to listen to me.

“Y..you promise m..my people will be safe?” I didn’t know what I was asking in regards to but I knew I needed to do something quick before he decided to kill any one else here.

“I’ll lay down my kingdom for you my queen if it came to that.” I can feel his grip loosen but he still holds me close to his chest. My breast gently brush against the top of his pecks.

“T..then it’s a deal Eiran.” As soon as I spoke those words, he immediately placed me down on my feet and let go of my neck. He looks down at me and gives me a kiss on my lips. In complete silence and embarrassment I blush red and look away. I’ve never been kissed by anyone before. Eiran smiles and mounts back on his grylion.

“Well my queen, a deal is a deal. I shall keep a close eye on you and your people. If you ever need me, I’m always a whisper away.” Eiran winks at me and vanishes into the forest as the elvian guard becomes unfrozen and puzzled by what all had taken place. Aarush and Finlo rush to me to make sure if I was alright. I nodded and looked down. I didn’t know why he came but I knew it meant chaos is brewing.

“I need to get back to Hagan now.” Without saying goodbye, I immediately ran through the forest back to the castle. Whatever is coming, Hagan knew how to handle it.
