The Purple moon

Chapter 8: ZaLion

Weeks had passed since the last full moon and once again little ol quiet Lunarville has days to prepare for the Queen's "Do you have them?" The queen asked urgently as ZaLion one of the king's watchers, walked into her room with locks and chains. "Yes Ma'am father said not even a Algonquian couldn't break them. The king warned ZaLion with a glare. "No offense you're Majesty" Bowing to Hyland. "Good I can't what happened last time happen again, I can't bare another loss" the queen's voice broke. "We won't my love" Hyland lied making Maia smile. "Promise if anything happens this time you think of Jovian's plan" Maia Azul said looking into her husband's eyes. He just slimed as he kisses her eyes. "Holly make sure those girls of mine aren't around when my wife turns. The last might have been the worst but there is always a worse I don't want to hear about what happened or couldn't have been stopped guilt apologize story" Hyland Azul orders. "Yes sir any particular place you might want?" Holly asked shyly. "Think of something" He ordered. "As you wish"Holly said as she grabbed her dress and bowed to both Maia and Hyland. "Go with her Za" The king orders ZaLion as Holly walked out. Zalion's heart dropped. He's been waiting years to confess his feelings to Holly so all or nothing. "Very well sir" ZaLion said leaving without greeting the queen good bye closing the door behind. "Miss Holly I am told to follow along" ZaLion calls behind Holly as she hears his footsteps echo in the castle's empty hallway. "Oh ok if that's what you must do Mr. Kurr" Holly replied softly. "Please Zal miss Holly, it's what my mother called me" ZaLion stated. "Called? No longer around?" Holly asked curiously. ZaLion explaining everything on what happened to his mother. "Oh dear, I have no words I am so sorry. If you don't mind me asking but how are you not afraid of The queen?" Holly asked as they made it to the twins playroom opening the door and walking in. "Maia found me when she was just a young girl so she never knew about her the wolf side yet. She found me sobbing like a whip covered in my mother's killers blood and wrapped me in her favorite cloth and helped me walk away from my mother's body" ZaLion explains looking out the window as if trying to see the memory in his head. "How old?" Holly asks grabbing two blankets for the twins. The wind is a Blizzard. "Six miss Holly" he replied opening his arms as she placed Asna in his arm and she carrying Asnia. " Oh my Zal,that's so young I'm sorry you went through that" ZaLion's heart stops for a second. "Thank you Ma'am" now let's get our highnesses to a safe place" ZaLion states following Holly out the castle into the Valley.

"So tell me about you miss Holly, What was life like before all this wondering life of yours?" ZaLion asked not realizing he said something wrong. Holly went quiet for a moment. ( So much for your explaining your feelings Zal) ZaLion thought to himself. "I apologize miss. Holly I hadn't thought you could yourself have past pain, please accept my apology" ZaLion softly stares. "Its ok Zal you didn't know I just have trouble finding words to explain things so I just end up going quiet" Holly states honesty. ZaLion smiles in returning feeling his heart grow butterflies again. "We should rest here the moon isn't full until another Seven hours". ZaLion says as he notices Holly start to take small steps. "I suppose you're right, I'm sure the babies are hungry anyway" Holly agreed.

"I hope they are far away Hyd i couldn't live with my self if i turned on them" Maia Azul said worried as Hyland places the chains and locks on his she-wolf wife. "They are my love" He said even doubting his own words. "Now my love you have Seven hours you might as well rest before you have to stop me" Maia said as she tries lowering her head into a bow. "Never bow to me my queen it's I who bows down my love" He grabs her chin and raises it her head up. "I will see you in a few hours my love" Hyland softly said as he closed the door behind him.

"Oh ZaLion this place is so beautiful" Holly stated as they came upon a beautiful wooden area with ice cyles that hung above vines that hanged over the branches floating from the sky. "It was the kings favorite place until queen IceLilly was murdered" ZaLion said now placing a blanket on the only dry spot on the snowy grass and places Ansia on the blanket as Holly did the same with Asna. ZaLion blushes as Holly's hand brushed against his. *Just tell her her eyes are brighter then any smile you have came across* ZaLion said to himself.

You wouldn't have wrinkles if you smile sometimes" Vesa Kaida said as she passed Seren Kallisto at the market in the valley. "I will hurt you Kaida" Seren warned. "If only" Vesa winked and disappeared into the crowd. *One day he will give in and ask me to wed with him* Vesa thought as she watched Seren eye the crowd looking for her. Vesa gave a giggle then walked farther into the market.

"Don't worry my dear you will soon be out of this prison i can promise that" Mastermind Elara Zuriel calls out into the lighting that formed in the dark and gloomy night sky.

"It's almost time sir" One of the night guards announced to the king as he looked to the night sky and seen the moon coming into full. "Seems you are right , gather everyone up and bring them here.I want to make sure everyone is safe this time" The king orders. Hyland Azul stops in his tracks and turns back to the guard. "Name?" Hyland asks the guard. "Fetti,Motty Fetti my king" the guard answers boldy as he puffs his chest out. Hyland softly let out a small laugh. "Alright then Mott better get going" the king said as he walked on.
