Hey Guys i wanted only to say that i'm sorry for the delay i was with some personal problems but now i think i can start working again soooo enjoy the chapter ;)
(Alexandros P.O.V)
"la la la la"
Glasha was singing on my back shaking her legs back and fourth while wee kept walking throught the forest, the moon letting out a glimmer until suddenly Oscar said behind me looking to his sides feeling a little scared
"how were gonna know if we are in the right direction ?"
i looked at him with a small smile and Glasha said looking at him
"keep calm okay ? the heart of healing blosoms near lakes and there's only one lake close to this location and on fullmoons which is today so i'm sure we're gonna find it"
Glasha said with a small smile looking at Oscar and after that explanation she returned to her singing and he relaxed a little and said letting out a sight
"okay Glasha"
but he kept looking to his sides a little on edge but we kept walking until a question popped in my head, i looked at Glasha and asked
"Glasha can i ask you something ?"
"sure Alexandros"
she said stopping her singing and waiting for the question
"why you're mommy need this flower ?"
she gave a small laught and said with her hands on each side of my head
"sorry Alexandros but it's a secret, i can only say that is for my older sister...."
and she continued giving a little laught, i tried to understand what she mean but then i was interrupted when a little light flight in front of my face and Nen-ra said looking at the light
"what is that ? a fairy ?"
i kept looking as the light flow around me until a soothing voice said close to my ear
"hello Vampire~"
i looked at my right and saw that the light was indeed a small fairy
i kept looking at the little fairy and i said looking a little awkward
"huh....hello miss"
"please call me Xala~"
she float to my face and said close to my eyes
"and what's your name~?"
"ehh...Alexandros"
"humm...Alexandros, i liked~"
and then Xala looked at me up and down and asked floating above us
"what are you guys doing here~?"
and Oscar said looking at Xala
"we are looking for the heart of healing"
Xala float to him and said looking at his flaming skull
"ohh~really ? and who and what are you ?"
"my name's Oscar and i'm a Specter"
he said giving a bow and Glasha asked me with a small voice
"Alexandros what's a Specter ?"
"well Glasha a Specter is the soul of a once living being raised again from the grave"
she looked at me and said with a thumb under her chin and a thoughtful look on her eyes
"so... it's like a Ghost ?"
"yes it's like a Ghost"
she gave a nod and suddenly Xala apeared in front of me and said with a smile on her face
"so you're looking for the heart huh~?"
"yeah i'm helping this little Raider"
i said while giving a little jump making Glasha giggle and i continued
"can you help us find it ?"
Xala looked at each one of us for a moment and then looked at me and said
"well i can't but my lady can, just follow me~"
and she started flying throught the forest leaving a trail of bluedust and i said looking at Oscar and the others
"we must follower her"
and we started following the trail heading deep into the forest
timeskip
we've kept following Xala until she stopped in front of a bush and said looking at us
"throught here~"
and she float throught and when we passed we saw something astonishing
and Xala said with proud on her voice floating on my right
"welcome to the forest of dreams~"
and then she said floating ahead of us
"my lady should be near the lake, come with me~"
and we started following her through a small path, i kept looking around in amazement at how beautiful this place looked, it was like it was taken from a story, a faint light kept glowing from the mushrooms that were stuck on the walls and gardens full of flowers keeped swaying back and fort with fairies flowing around them, we started to climb a hill and i kept thinking of a question that kept lingering on the back of my head
'how did i never know of this place ? i never saw this forest on the maps '
and we kept walking throught the clearing and i asked Glasha
"Glasha did you know about this place ?"
"i never saw with my own eyes but i've heard i't from my mommy"
"but...."
i was gonna ask her but i was interrupted when we arrived at the top of the hill and there we saw the lake
and Xala said to us
"she is in there"
and she pointed to a cave on the side of the lake, we started to descend the hill until Xala told us to wait and floated to the direction of the cave and started to speak to it presumily talking to the woman, we kept waiting until Larasha nudged me on the shoulder, i looked at her and she said
"Alexandros do you really think we can trust her ? if they never had the heart here ?"
"i know Larasha but i trust this little raider here so i think were good"
and i gave a smile to prove my point and Larasha only gave a nod while looking at the ground with a small tint of red on her cheeks and returned to look at Xala while she returned to us and said
"my lady said she agrees to meet you but only you Alexandros"
we all looked at each other in confusion until Nen said behind us
"this is very strange,he going alone ?"
"it was a request from my lady, also she said when she is talking to Alexandros your group are our guests"
and she bowed before looking at me, i kept looking at her until i nodded and placed Glasha on the ground and looked at her and said
"Glasha i need you to stay here with Oscar okay ?"
she only nodded and walked to Oscar
"you guys wait here okay ? i'm gonna meet her"
they only nodded and started to rest on the shore of the lake while i started to walk to the cave with Xala until we reached the entrance and a deep but caring voice said from the darkness
"you can go Xala"
Xala only bowed before flying away to the rest of my group and the voice returned
"please enter Alexandros"
i gave a sigh and entered the cave with only the moon giving light as i plunged deep into the unknow
(Nen-ra P.O.V)
as Alexandros entered the dark cave and dessapeared into the dark to meet this so called "miss", my eyes traced across the lake but my mind kept thinking on Alexandros, since we left the dungeon i couldn't stop thinking about him, that moment he awakened me from that cell, he the hero came to save me the villain, i didn't know why but when i think of that my face always starts burning and my heart starts beating faster, could this be....love ?
"i..am i in love with Alexandros ?"
i could feel my face heating again and my hand started shaking, i looked at my reflection on the lake and i could see, i am...blushing
'could it be true ? i general Nen'ra heir to the trone of Airirus Empire, what my family would say ? i'm in love with a Vampire ? my father would never aprove but Alexandros saved me from Death so he would at least let him speak...or not'
i was lost in thought until a hand landed on my shoulder awakening me from it, i looked behind me and saw that it was Nara looking at me with worry on her eyes and she asked
"Nen are you ok ?"
"oh yes i'm okay just a little lost in thought that's all"
i gave a small laught hoping that she doesn't find out, my hopes were high until she asked
"but your face is red are you....oh"
in that moment she gave a small smile and said
"Nen. Are you fancying someone ?"
when she said that my face become red as a tourch and i let a small squeak and in that moment i knew i was discovered, she letted out a small smile and said
"let me guess, his name start with A and his not human am i right ?"
i nodded while looking at the ground and she continued
"i knew you loved Alexandros"
i looked at her with a surprised look and asked
"how did you know ?"
"please Nen, since we escaped that castle Dungeon i've seen how you look at Alexandros, every time your face becomes flushed and you look at the ground with a nervous look"
'i couldn't belive her words, did i really do all of those things ?', i gave a sight while sitting on a log of wood close to the lake and put my hand on my face while she continued
"why don't you tell him then ?"
in that moment i looked at her and said with despair in my voice
"NO !!!, i mean no i can't do it and by the way he would never accept me"
i said as i looked at the ground with a bored look until Nara continued
"what makes you think that ? only because your an Argonian ?"
i only nodded and said with a sad face and my eyes closed
"Nara look at me ! he would never love me by all the things i have done, all the cities i destroyed i am a monster"
Nara stayed in silence for a moment and kept looking at me until she asked something that surprised me
"do you feel remorse for what you have done ?"
i looked at the ground for a moment and a tought came to my mind
'i've never tought about that, all the time i've spent helping that bastards i've never felt remorse until i've met Alexandros and in that moment i started to feel diferent, he made me see the wrongs that i have done'
"yes, i feel remorse for what i have done"
in that moment Nara placed her wing over my shoulder and said with a smile
"then Alexandros will not judge you, i'm gonna tell you a little secret okay ?"
i only nodded as she leaned closer to my ear and said
"i'm in love with Alexandros too"
my eyes widened as she gave a little laught and i said
"really ? when did you started to love him ?"
she gave another small laught and said with a small tint of blush
"i've got feelings for him when we meeted on the prisions of Uschtenheim, he acepted me the way i am, i may be a monster but he looked beyond what was on the outside and looked on the inside and saw that i was a good person, Alexandros is indeed special, i can feel it deep in my heart"
and she putted a wing over her heart and closed her eyes with a little smile and i kept looking at her and could only think of what she said, i looked at the lake with the moonlight shining on the surface and little fairies flying above its gentle water, the leaves kept swinging back and forth and the stars started twinkling on the night sky only giving more beauty to the scenario but my mind could only think of one thing or more specifically someone: 'Alexandros', i kept looking at the lake until Nara said something that surprised me
"i don't mind sharing him"
i looked at her for a moment and said the only thing that came to my mind
"what ?"
"you heard me, since you and i like Alexandros we could share him instead of fighting over him don't you think ?"
i placed my hand under my chin for a moment thinking of that ideia,'it was a really good ideia but the problem was: if more girls started to like him and they don't agreed to this ideia ?' i looked at Nara and asked her
"it's a good ideia but if others girls start to like him too ? what if they don't agreed to this ideia and instead try to take him from us ?"
Nara started to think for a minute and in that moment i knew i found a flaw on her plan until she looked at me with a serious face and said
"well we will have to fight them for him, do we have a deal ?"
and she raised her wing for me to shake, i looked at it for a moment and shaked with a smile on my face
"we have a deal"
Nara gave a smile too until she looked at Larasha and saw something interesting and she said
"Nen look at Larasha"
i turned my head to her direction and saw that she was collecting...flowers ? and Nara continued
"i think i know what she is doing, come with me"
we started walking to her direction until we started to hear her voice and she was talking about...Alexandros ?, while she looked at a Blue star wich was flower with a star shape with a blue color on it's petals, she kept looking at the flower and said while passing her thumb over one
"wich one Alexandros would like ?"
she said with a small blush on her checks but she haven't noticed us aproaching her, i reached closer to her and said with a small smile
"i think he will like that one"
she letted out a small squeak and looked at us with huge blush on her cheecks while we looked at her with a smile, she letted out a laught and said
"hehehe what are you talking about ?"
we looked at her for a moment and in that moment she knew that she was caught so she gave a sight and said looking at us
"how much did you hear ?"
"ohh not much just something about flowers to a certain Vampire"
i said as the blush returned to Larasha and Nara with a smile asked her
"you like him don't you ?"
she only nodded, i looked at Nara and she looked at me with the same tough as me
"we like him too"
she looked at us with a surprised look on her face and said
"really ?"
we only nodded and Nara continued
"yes, so how about we share him in that way we don't need to fight over him"
she kept in sillence only looking at us until she said
"okay"
we all gave a smile and moved our separated ways but then something came to my mind
"where are my soldiers ?"
i brushed that aside and sitted on the log again and looked at the lake until a tought came to my mind and a huge blush appeared on my face along with a smile
"Alexandros~"
(Alexandros P.O.V)
it's been half an hour that i've been walking throught this cave and i found no sign of this so called lady, thanks to the heavens torchs lingered on the walls to aid me, i kept walking and walking and walking when suddenly a gush of wind passed through me and knocked me to the ground and snuffed out the torches letting the darkness settle in,
"perfect"
water drops were the only thing i could hear as i could only see what was in two feet in front of me but suddenly a deep yet sweet voice echoed in the walls of the cave
"Welcome Alexandros, come foward~"
i looked in the direction of the voice until Death voice echoed on my mind
"be careful Alexandros, i sense a powerful presence in this cave."
"thanks Death but i can't see anything"
"focus your vision"
"what ?"
" thanks to your Vampire powers you can focus your vision to see where others can not, just close your eyes and focus, but be aware that cost your Mana and if you use it too much you wouldn't be allowed to cast the simple of spells "
i did what Death told me and in the moment beneath my closed eyes i could feel my eyes tingling for a moment and when i opened them all i could see was red but i could see the end of the cave and the path to the Lady
"thanks Death, you're amazing"
"eh..eh..you..re welco...me Alexandros"
and in that moment her voice disappeared leaving me alone on the once Dark Cave, i continued on the path until i reached the threshold of the cave and when i entered the room my vision returned to normal leaving me alone on the darkness once more but i continued walking forward until i started hearing the sound of metal, every step i took the sound kept following me until i understand that the sound was coming inded for under my feet, suddenly a few torches ignited and i could see that i was in some kind of ruins and by the look of the pillars i was in a structure builded by...Dwarves ?
i could not believe what i saw, in all the Books that i have readed not even one told me about Dwarves living in Nosgoth let alone raising Structures here, but that didn't explain the sound i heard before, but that question was answered when suddenly more candles suddenly ignited themselves and what i saw letted me...surprised.
"that explains the sound"
i said as i holded a golden coin in my palm but then i dropped amidst the others and looked for a way out of the chamber until my eyes landed on a set of stairs, without any other options i made my way to the stairs and climbed into the unknow until i reached a wooden door, i turned the door handle and when i entered i saw the so called "Lady"
"What ? a dragon"
suddenly the Dragon raised it's head her emerald eyes glistening on the darkness of the room,its golden earrings swinging back and forth and its wings opened up releasing a wave of air in the entire room making piles of gold to fall on the ground and then it voice manifested
"Welcome Alexandros~"
i looked in shock as the dragon looked with amusement at me and she continue
"not what you expected am i right ? "
to be continued (for real)
