The Enchantress of Snow (Delaney Series #1)

Chapter 21: The Lord of Death and Soul

The Lord of Death and Soul

Percival's POV

"Is she alright?" Leon asked when I came back to the mountain.

The empress was sleeping in my arms, for the first time, I saw her sleeping peacefully, she was not frowning, just sleeping with no worries. And I want to keep it that way.

My wings have already disappeared. "She's fine, just sleeping..."

Leon was holding Adelaide who had wounds on her face, I wonder what happened to her?

I am mad... mad because she just let herself fall from that cliff like she was just ready to accept whatever may happen to her when I know that it was easy for her to dodge the attack.

For the first time, I saw her give up. She was tired, and too burdened because everyone was relying on her. I want her to share her burdens with me.

I want her to know that she is not alone anymore.

"Magnus?" I called his brother who was looking at her, worriedly. "Will you carry her for me?"

Without saying anything, Magnus went and got her sister from me. I then bore my eyes to the surroundings, I can feel that there are still enemies around us.

"Leon? Can you create a portal? Take your lady away from this place..."

He nodded and then a dark portal appeared, I glanced at Eira one last time as they entered the portal.

"Pusta ko gigising rin to at hahanapin si Percival," Magnus said as they were entering the portal.

"Now, where was I?" I pushed my hair back and rested my hands on my hips.

I started looking around and then a smirk formed in my lips when I sensed an enemy watching me. "Why don't you come out with your pets and fight me?"

And at that, they all surrounded me, I don't know how many they are. I catched the arrow before it could hit me and then tilted my head. Life slowly left the man's body and he laid rotten in the ground, with only his bones left.

"You will die in one minute," I told the ten men in front of me.

This is what happens when you control death and soul. I can easily drain the life of my enemy and just leave them there, rotting. I can also touch them and they would start decaying.

There is too much I can do with death. "Want me to get back your dead girlfriend?" I asked the man when I saw his memories with a girl but unfortunately she died. "You want to meet her?" he slowly nodded so I smiled. "Then, die."

I collected the man's soul and smiled when his strength went to me. "Next?"

I frowned when the ten men I told that they were gonna die in a minute fell to the ground. A man was able to shoot me with a small blade, and it caused my arm to bleed.

"You want to be next?" I asked. Hinawakan ko ang ulo niya, parang pinipiga ang lahat ng meron siya. He was alive, but he was dead? I don't know, he was still breathing but his soul wasn't there anymore.

I dodged another katana and held the neck of the man beside me who tried to tie me with a vine. Slowly, I collected his memories, from the beginning to the end, he would still live but he is clueless with the world.

"Percival, sumanib ka na sa amin," a man with an eyepatch said to me.

My brows furrowed. "I don't even know you," I answered him.
