Werewolf Kingdom:

Raziah was still at the same place, not moving, as she continued to cry until she felt a hand on her shoulder. Being startled a bit, she turned her head to see who the hand belonged to, to see who dares touch her but her eyes widened a bit when she saw the Vampire Prince. She has been crying out her eyes and couldn't believe what Dark had done to her for her not to notice the presence of the Vampire Prince.

"What happened here Raziah?" The Vampire Prince asked. When he had gotten closer to the Palace, he saw the rising smoke and freshly burnt smell filling his nose, entering the Palace, he gasped out in shock as he saw the state which the palace was in and he wondered what had happened. It didn't take him time to find Raziah. Was this why Chaos said Raziah was in trouble? Who could have done this?

"What are you doing here?" Raziah asks as she returns her gaze back to her mother's bones.

"Chaos told me you were troubled and I have to rush and get here as fast as I could. Tell me, pretty," he said carefully remembering how Raziah always gets angry at the mention of 'Beautiful .' "What happened here?"

Facing him. "Dark did all these."she answered finally.

Looking around him. "You mean he did all this including destroying all your palace?" he gestured around them.

"No, he did the burning and we fought. I was this close to killing him when that stupid girl of his appeared and took him away." she explained further. "He burnt down the place where my dead mother's body was kept and has the guts to deny it."

"What about those dead people? Was he the one who did it?" he asked, pointing at the dead guards and servants. He had made sure not to step on any of them.

"No, I did it to them for not trying to stop Dark and watching the fire spreading without doing anything." Her reasons were valid and they deserve more of that. Her mother was important to her and they all know it. They all fuc .king know it and instead of stopping the fire they watch as it raze down the only thing that ever matters to her. "I had hoped for her to return to me, Aragorn but now Dark has ruined all of my hard work."

" I'm sorry it happened this way," Prince Aragorn began as he closed the space between them and pull her for a hug, surprised when Raziah didn't push him away. Her scent was heavenly but he controlled himself knowing this was not the time to satisfy his hunger. "I'm sorry Dark did this to you."

"I hate him and I will kill him the day I see him." Raziah said over his shoulder, welcoming his embrace and inhaling his scent. His cold body warmed up to her hot body.

Prince Aragorn danced a happy dance inwardly when he heard those words from Raziah. He was glad that Raziah now hates Dark, though he didn't know if she hated him before but hearing this from her gladlys his undead heart. 'Thank you Dark for doing this, I promise not to take this chance you gave me for granted.' he silently thanked Dark.

Disengaging from the hug, Raziah returned her gaze back to her mother.

"I will have to finally bury her after all these years."

"I am here for you Raziah, always. " Prince Aragorn told her hoping he couldn't get bash by her for saying that.

"Thank you." she said, facing him once again.

"So what are we going to do?" Prince Aragorn asked.

"I bury my mother, then I rebuild my palace and prepare for war." Raziah answered and walked past him , leaving the room and Aragorn followed her. "I will also bury them." She added looking briefly at the dead bodies in front of her and her eyes looking around the palace, her eyes once again landed on the spot Dark was and her hands clenched and unclenched.

"What war are you talking about?"

"I defeated him. Dark will be back for me, he will heal and he will be back and we will continue from where we stop. This time around I will show him the stuff I am really made of."

"Yes, we will, together." Prince Aragorn said. "I will help you in this war, we will fight him together."

"Thank you Aragorn, I appreciate this. One day, I will find a way to repay your kindness you've shown to me even when I was hostile to you."

'Yeah, by marrying me.' he thought and held himself from saying it out loud. He didn't want to ruin this closeness he has started to have with Raziah. He will tell her but not now, not when she is still hurting.

"You said Chaos told you I was troubled?"

"Yes , he did and I left everything I was doing to come here right away."

Raziah smiled at him and led the way and stopped to address a guard who was hiding. The guard quickly bowed down to her when he discovered she was staring at him. "Call the builders and let them come and meet me quickly. Also, bury those," she pointed at the dead guards and servants. "Then, prepare a space in my palace where I will lay my mother to rest. Also, send a message to general Ivon to come and see me right away. I will be in my throne room waiting for them."

"I will do that right away, my King." the guard said and quickly went to do as ordered.

"Why is Chaos in your kingdom?" Raziah asked as she walked straight to her throne room which wasn't affected by the fall of the palace. The other half of the palace weren't destroyed and luckily,her throne was amongst the half that weren't destroyed.

"He came to teach me how to unlock the dark power I possess and teach me some fighting techniques also so that I can be as strong as Dark."

At the mention of his name, Raziah growls.

"Don't worry, you will kill him for sure this time around and there will be no one to save him because we are now two and together we will be undefeatable." Prince Aragorn assured her. They entered the throne room and Raziah sat on her throne chair.

Gesturing to one of the empty seats on the around table. "Have a seat Aragorn while we wait for them to come."

Dark's Castle: Behind The Mirror:

There was a black pool behind the mirror. Three large dragon's were seen at the edge of the black pool. When they saw Dark,they all began to shrink their size and became small.

Then a fourth one large head emerged from the dark pool and growl at Dark.

Smiling back at the dragon in the pool who spat out Barwolf. If not for the clothes he had worn on the night Dark took him, you wouldn't have recognized him. His eyes were gone now and his body was all filled with open wounds which had refused to heal even though he was a werewolf.

"Why are you here?" He asked. Barwolf was his enemy but bringing him to his secret hideout no one knows surprised him. He could see that Barwolf's lips had been chewed up and he could see that he had no tongue. "I can't remember why you are here but whatever you did, you deserve your punishment." he added and the three small dragon's all perched at him and began causing Barwolf more pain.

Ignoring the whimpering of Barwolf, he slowly entered the pool where the dragon whose head and not the body was seen.

Dark touched his chest. No one knows that his heart wasn't at his left chest area but at his right.

Grinning at the Dragon who had continued to growl at him, he took a deep breath and went inside the dark pool, soon afterwards, the dragon's large head went inside the pool.

Amaya's Room:

Amaya was seen pacing around in her room. Dark has told her to prepare his army and instead of going to instruct the Demon general, she went straight to her room to think.

She had succeeded in making Dark forget all about Raziah and was proud of herself. At least things will go back to the way they were before Raziah showed up.

Raziah, Raziah who doesn't even recognize her even when being reborn.

Seeing that little girl's face that night had shocked her even when she hid her shock expression. She has no idea that Raziah has been reborn, and as a werewolf Princess, a fucking princess. She was grateful that Dark had paid a visit to Barwolf that night or else she wouldn't have met little Raziah.

"Still thinking about her?" a female voice was heard in the room.

"Yes, you know all these years, I thought she died after killing her lover but I never expected her to be reborn and now she has grown strong." Amaya admitted.

"It is to our advantage Amaya, stop thinking about it. She doesn't remember and that is good."

"I wouldn't have found out the Creator gave her a second chance if not that night, even though she has proven to the Creator that the blood running through her veins is her father's."

"That's why you want him for yourself, right ?"

"Yes, I will not make the same mistake two times. Dark is mine, before and even now and I will kill if I have to."

"Good for you Amaya but that's not why I am here. What's the plan? " The unknown woman asked.

"Dark is healing and will soon go to war with Raziah. This time, I hope he kills her for good so that I can forget she existed."

"My days of hiding will finally be over soon." the woman said. "I hope Dark has no idea of ​​who you are yet?"

"No, he doesn't. Though something baffles me, the eye of the Sun was inside Dark's body, you know Chaos also wanted the power and that's why they fought and along the line, Dark lost the power, how then did the power find Raziah?"

"The power went to find its true owner or have you forgotten who she was before her death?"

"But still yet, how did Dark possess the eye of the Sun?"

"Knowing Dark, he would rather cut his tongue than tell you," The unknown woman said. "Focus on the mission Amaya and keep me informed."
