ANGEL
Being in a relationship sucks sometimes, I mean don’t
get me wrong Richard is a great guy but sometimes he
just acts like a kid who has been denied candy by Daddy
but still refuses to take no and so he shows his grievance
by sucking.
Perhaps I am a little hard on him but I expected better
from him. I know sleeping with your sister seems crazy
but I know it was for his own good.
But then, his reasons might be justified because it turns
out Audrey was not just his sister, she was the exact
replica of his wife in times before now, just how crazy
can this whole show get. Richard didn’t just live in times
past, he was Said to be a tyrant at least according to him.
Richard, a tyrant? Nah, not the man my heart aches for
every second. His resolve to help orphans, he visits kids
with various syndromes, I mean how painful can it be for
him to watch and play with these kids when he visits
them when right within him, he has the power to heal
them. But that doesn’t stop him from visiting them and
the scene that took place after our little wolf play that I
wish won’t end till like forever confirmed Richard’s pure
heart of goodness.
This kid’s backbone was so badly twisted, I still wonder
how it got that bad but Richard was calm even when all
thought the kid was gonna die. I mean I was shocked just
like everyone else when Richard just kept his fore limb on
the kid’s back and magic that I never thought could
happen, took place right in front of me. Richard
performed what witches call the bond of Damocles, a
very difficult spell to perform because of the massive
amount of energy and of course the pain that one would
receive. It has a 0.2% chance of ever working because
whenever performed, the initiator and even the receiver
dies because of the massive energy expelled and the pain
received. I don’t think it has ever worked before but
Richard took a great gamble and it paid off. Right there
and then my love for Richard was sealed for eternity, it
still baffles me that such a selfless soul is one Audrey
called a tyrant.
Well, the ride back to town was really boring with the kids
just asking the young lad who survived the spell countless
questions. I dropped them and returned the bus to it’s
rightful owner. I decided against taking public transport
and checked well before running at my fastest back to
the clearing. I thought with my vampire demon gone, my
speed will take a downward turn but it seems that I have
gone even faster. I was surprised at my speed, I reached
the clearing in no time and quickly recited the spell for
entrance. I was on the second step on the magnificent
gold plated spiral stairway when I froze.
“You killed our son, William, you killed him. ” William?
Was that Richard’s name then and they had a son
together, Waoh! Their bond was that strong, but why was
she blaming Richard for their son’s death?
I slowly climbed up the stairs as Audrey’s tears echoed
through the house, I know Richard enough to be cuddling
her right now. I gently opened the door to find Richard
crying too. Something was off, why would Richard cry
about something he knew nothing about…. except…. If he
was actually the cause of the kid’s death.
“Richard tell me it’s not true, tell me you’re not the cause
of the kid’s death “I asked but Richard couldn’t answer,
he just continued cuddling Audrey. Audrey did the
answering by saying,” There was a war then, a big war
and it was certain we wouldn’t be able to win it. But
before the war, in fact after the birth of our son, Richard
actually William grew cold. He was very happy after
William Junior’s birth but few months later he just
withdrew into his shell and up till now I still don’t know
why. I did my possible best to please him but he kept
moving from me and his son and just dived more into
matters of his kingdom. This strange decision of his
continued and this made our son felt unloved and
unwanted and severally, he tried running away but was
always caught. This just made William mad and his
disdain for his son continued until when our peaceful
Kingdom was plunged into battle. A new world power
were knocking on our borders, this world power had
armies consisting of undead soldiers, soldiers that were
so fast and vicious that within a blink of an eye, hundreds
of enemy soldiers died. Swords and battle formation were
useless against them, even fire was useless. We were
clueless as to how we were to confront such monsters
and feared for the worst, until one day a strange woman
arrived at our palace . A woman who brought both good
and bad tidings, a woman who started this feud between
vampires and werewolves. The woman whom we all
thought brought balance but she was the actually the
goddess of chaos.
