The Night King's Wife

Chapter Three: The Nightstarel with Two Haldas

The Aylix fell backwards and landed with the thump on my carpet. Dark green blood pooling around it.
My eyes met Kalia's. She was still on the bed,her body shaking.
I looked down at the dead monster on my bedroom floor and grimaced.
"This carpet is going to stink so bad," I muttered. I heard her let out a tiny giggle and smiled.
I grabbed my black robe I use after my showers cause I knew she was cold.
I sat down on the edge of my bed. Wrapping the robe around myself. I looked at her for a moment, lost in her gorgeous golden eyes.
"Come here." I whispered, unable to talk any louder.
She crawled over to me and I opened the robe and wrapped it around her once she was on my lap.
I kissed the top of her head. Stroking her deep gold hair.
"It's ok, Kal." I said, a little louder this time.
She twisted to meet my eyes. "What did you do to the Aylix?"
I sighed, debating whether to keep my secret from her or not.
I decided to tell her. She already knew most of my secrets anyway.
"I used my second halda." It felt strange to say the words aloud. It was as if I was in front of a thousand eyes all staring at me.
She frowned, confused. "What?"
I repeated myself. "I used my second halda."
"Hold on, you mean prince Alerin of Nareth is one of the one in a million Daylights and Nightstarel to be born with two haldas?"
I stayed silent for a moment.
"Yes, I am."
The frown was replaced with a curious smile.
"What is it? Can you see the future or something?" She asked.
I laughed. "No I have something better."
Kalia looked intrigued. "Better, huh?"
I nodded. "I can make weapons from darkness." I said into her hair.
