Fated Souls (Unveiling Dawn)

Unveiling Three

"Kako se vikaš?" Asked Achlys as she slighty pulled the Pariah.

"Achlys, stop being stubborn." Amara said to stop Achlys.

"I-I... I became a Pariah after my father was killed." The Pariah started talking that made the Princesses look at him. My mother is an enchantress, so they tried to search for her to kill her. But they failed because they can't cross the border that separates us from the enchanters. They killed my father, because for them, it's betrayal. That's why I left. I don't want to be the head of a clan that doesn't know how to accept. How can they follow their ruler if they can't even accept him? "

"Nero Clan." Azrail said when she touched the Pariah's hair. "You're the Prince of Nero."

"Not anymor-"

"You will always be." Putol ni Azrail sa kanya. "Even if you turned your back on your clan, you will always be their Prince. Their ruler."

"You can't be a Sephtis." Amara said while shaking her head.

"He can." Achlys said that made her sisters look at her. "For now... You will be one of us, just for now. And when the right time comes, be the ruler that you are."

"Achlys!"

"I can't release him, Amara. He saw us. And I can't kill him either." Achlys said and dragged the Pariah with her kaya wala ng nagawa ang dalawa pang prinsesa. 

"Is this an orphanage?" Tanong ni Azrail kay Amara habang naka tabingi pa ang ulo. Amara just looked at her sharply before walking towards her throne. Napa ayos naman ng tayo si Azrail at umalis na bitbit ang kanyang pana at mga palaso.

"What's your name?" Asked Achlys when they reached the training ground. The Pariah just blinked a couple of times while looking at Achlys bago nito mahanap ang boses niya para sumagot.

"Y-You're a triumvirate." He said and Achlys just looked at him boredly. "R-Ryder. My name is Ryder."

"The Knight of Nero." Achlys said while smirking. "I'm Princess Achlys, and this is Sephtis Clan. Your temporary home, Prince Ryder."

"I will still be a Pariah if-"

"I know."

She walked slowly towards Ryder before holding his hand. Her lips then reached for his wrist and it touched his skin. Ryder was just looking at her until her fangs were visible and Achlys bit him while looking at him.

After that, Achlys let go of him while smirking. "Pledge." She said, her fangs are still visible.

"I, Prince Ryder of Nero Clan, promise to make a bond with Sephtis Clan on the day of my ruling, until my last breath." He said while looking intently at Achlys.

"Sealed." She said, almost a whisper. She then raised her hand and tried to stab Ryder but he held her wrist until she lose grip on the dirk and it fell to the cold ground. Achlys smirk grew bigger while looking at Ryder.

"Fast and super strong. You are really from Nero Clan."

"How old are you?" He asked and Achlys just let out a playful chuckle. "Ask someone else, I lost count."

"A hundred? A thousand? How come you guys are still alive?"

"Are you just curious or you're underestimating the rulers of Sephtis Clan?"

"I-I'm sorry. I was just wondering why-"

"We don't know either." Achlys said and then took a step backwards while still looking at him. She then threw a throwing star at him but Ryder is fast and he just moved sideways. Achlys then continuously threw throwing stars, waiting for him to pick a weapon to fight her.

Ryder just used the spear to blocked every dagger that Achlys is throwing at him. Achlys then stopped and walked towards the bow holder.

"Fight me, Ryder." She said while standing proud, holding her shinning black bow. "That's an order."

Ryder took a deep breath and just picked up a sword. "A close contact warrior." Achlys said with a smirk while looking at the sword. Ryder just run towards her and she release a bow but Ryder ran fast until she felt him at her back. 

"Turn around, Princess Achlys." May panunuyang sabi ni Ryder. Achlys didn't like what he heard so her fangs grew and she ran straight until her feet touched the wall and she made a flip to face Ryder as she continuously release a lot of arrows.

Ryder had a multiple shot but he just removed them and let his wounds heal before blocking the last arrow by his hand that Achlys released. "You're testing my patience, Prince Ryder." Achlys seriously said that made Ryder's look soften.

"Am I?" He nervously asked. Tinignan lang siya ni Achlys bago ibato ang kanyang pana. Ryder was just looking at her, confused. Achlys is just looking at him trying to control herself until her fangs grew more as she started growling lightly. She was about to shift fully when someone stopped her.

"Stop playing, Achlys." Amara said and walked towards her. "Fenris is howling. Go." Achlys then took a glimpse of Ryder before leaving the training ground.

"I just saved your life, Knight of Nero." Amara said while checking the pointy weapons.

"What was she's about to do?"

"Achlys? I heard her wolf howled, really loud. And I hate it when I hear him do that."

"Zošto?"

Amara shrugged before answering him. "Because that means a chaos is coming. And Achlys is the bringer of chaos." She said. "You will know soon." She then put the swallow down and looked at Ryder. "Follow me."

Ryder followed Amara and they walked towards the hall where their thrones are. Pag pasok nila ay naroon si Azrail kausap si Achates.

"I'll remember that, Prince Achates. Vi bladogaram."

"For you, My Highness." Achates said and bowed at her before turning his back. Gulat siyang napa tingin kay Ryder. "Prince Ryder." He murmured. Ryder smiled at him and nod. "Angel of Celia Clan. It's been a while, Prince Achates."

"How did you..."

"I was chased by other pariah because someone saw me. Sa tagal na panahon kong nag tago, hindi ko alam na may nakakakilala pa pala sa akin. I tried to lose them but I didn't notice that I was standing on the land of Sephtis Clan."

Achates flashed the brightest smile and walked towards Ryder and they hugged each other. After they pulled out from the hug, they looked at the Princesses that are now sitting at their throne, except for Achlys.

Azrail raised an eyebrow at them and they just chuckled.

"We're childhood friends." Ryder said.

"Oh are you? For like what? A thousand years ago, oldies?"

"Well, you can say that." Ryder answered Azrail and Achates looked at her.

"Azrail, we're just 18 years older than you." He said as if he's being screwed around.

"Yeah. You were our father's faithful companion even before we are born. I wonder how many lovers you had." Kabit balikat na sagot ni Azrail kay Achates and he just took a deep breath and licked his lower lip that made Amara chuckle.

"Achlys already turn him into a Sephtis. Walang makakapigil sa kanya kay wala na kaming nagawa. And I think he's not harmful. Please take him with you, Prince Achates." She said and he just nod and went out the regal hall with Ryder. 

Pero maya maya lang ay sumilip ulit si Achates at tinignan si Azrail. "I'll see you tomorrow, Azrail." He said and left again, so Amara looked at Azrail with her eyebrow raised and she just avoided her gaze and cleared her throat bago tumayo at umakyat. Amara just shook her head while smiling.

"Where's Ryder?" Achlys asked na kaka uwi lang habang naka sunod sa kanya ang kanyang lobo.

"He's with Achates." Amara said and looked at Fenrir. "He grew bigger." She said in disbelief.

"He did."

"An Alpha indeed." Amara said and Fenrir ran towards her and jump on to her lap. "Oh, big man, you're heavy." And Fenrir just howl that made her chuckle.

"He howled not because I'm bringing a chaos. He howled because he's growing and he's calling for me to see him." Achlys said and sat in her throne.

"How was it?" Amara asked while caressing Fenrir.

"It's enchanting. I saw it with Acheros."

"Having a bonding with the Second Prince of Celia Clan, huh? Are you in good terms again now?"

"Whatever, Amara." She then stood up. "Da odime, Fenrir." Achlys said and just walked upstairs so Fenrir followed her.

"Whatever, ex lovers." Amara said and smiled before standing up and left the throne hall. Amara is walking in the woods to hunt.

"Still no signs of crimson moon, huh?" A guy asked Amara. "Am I right that you are the Princess of this Clan?"

"I am right that you are not from here. You can now leave." Amara said and started to walk away.

"How long would it be?" He asked again that made Amara stopped.

"I am not here to have a talk with someone."

"At least give me some numbers." Pilit ng lalaki na naka akyat sa isa sa mga malalaking puno.

"Deset. Now leave." She said and in a second, she already left the guy. She stopped in the middle of the woods and jumped at the largest tree and kicked someone. Because of how fast Amara moved, the woman fell from the tree but landed on both her feet so Amara followed her and she is now at the back of the woman.

"I don't remember sending an invitation to the Baphoment Clan." Amara said, pointing a dagger on a woman's neck. She sensed that a vampire is watching her. "Princess Kasadeya, you may now leave. It's too late for your visitation."

"So you are the Princess of Sephtis Clan. I'm sorry but I'm not here for you. Nandito ako para kuhanin ang isang bagay na maaring dito ko na iwan." Sagot nito.

"This is our land, and what ever you left here is already ours." Amara replied to Kasadeya that made her smirk in disbelief. 

"Ang sa akin ay akin, prinsesa ng Sephtis. The thing a left here will never be yours." 

"Tila hindi mo yata na intindihan ang sinabi ko." Sagot ni Amara. "The necklace that your great mother gave you is already mine. I saw it, I picked it up, and now my name is written on it. Send her my heartwarming thank you, Princess Kasadeya." Amara continued that made Kasadeya mad. She moved fast and she's now behind Amara. 

"Give me my necklace back before you lose your neck." May diing sambit nito. Tumawa ng mapanuya si Amara at siniko si Kasadeya ng malakas dahilan para tumama ang likuran nito sa isang puno.  Kasadeya groaned and tried to attack Amara but Amara choked her. 

"How about you lose your neck first? Baka nakakalimutan mo, ang lupang tinatayuan mo hindi sa inyo. I can crash your neck and kill you anytime here because I rule this land. Fortunately, because I'm not her. Pero dahil sinira mo ang plano ko ngayong gabi, I will atleast make you pay." Amara said before pushing her that mad Kasadeya hut her back on the tree again. Amara then threw her dagger at her direction at tumama ito sa damit niya na ngayon ay naka ipit sa puno. 

Kasadeya tried to remove the dagger but a serpent is now crawling up to her. 

"I'm not the angel of death but you're not suppose to mess with someone like me." Amara said. "Thank you for the informations." She whispered at her and left.
