Chapter 13 ~ Descendant

The sirens went off. The Lunar castle was going on lockdown. The main door was sealed tight and all the windows were shut. Guards were everywhere, their armour shifting  loudly.

Oliver and Saint were rushed to the throne room. They were supposed to attend a ball at the Crystal kingdom that day but something got in the way.

"Oliver, I sense a different presence in the castle. I don't know why," Saint stayed close to him, something didn't feel right.

Oliver kissed her forehead, "It's going to be fin-". Before Oliver could finish, a winged creature was flying haphazardly, it was hitting the walls in distress. The guards had attached chains on its legs.

"Let me go!" it screamed. It was a boy with wings. Saint noticed that the boy had a golden crown, "A crown, he has a crown. Stop! Let him go!" Saint motioned for the guards but they didn't do anything. This wasn't Saint's kingdom.

The guards looked at Oliver. Oliver was skeptical but he nodded.

"I'm sorry about them treating you this way but who are you?" Saint said as the boy landed on the marble floors.

"I am Lachlan, descendant of Hermes," he said through breaths.

Saint was confused, "What kingdom are you from?" she asked him. Lachlan looked at her and his heart skipped a beat, he had never seen somebody as beautiful as the girl in front of him.

"I-I don't know, I just woke up in the middle of the forest with wings and there was a note that said I'm the descent of Hermes. I don't remember anything else except for my name," Lachlan sat down on the floor and so did Saint. Saint wanted to know more about the boy with wings.

Oliver, his pack, and his guards observed the golden pair in front of them. Lachlan had black wings with golden highlights sticking out of his back.

Saint looked at Oliver, "I'm taking him back to my kingdom. He says he doesn't like wolves," she scrunched up her nose. Oliver and his pack raised their eyebrows at him, "Alright but I have a question, how come I couldn't sense you if you were in the forest. I've marked every square inch of those grounds,".

Lachlan shrugged, "I don't even know why I'm here,".

Oliver looked at the guards, "Yrrac no htiw rouy seitud, Ll'i eldnah siht,". (Carry on with your duties. I'll handle this) The guards bowed at the royal and marched out of the throne room quickly. "s'tel og kram eht sdoow niaga," (Let's go mark the woods again) Oliver walked through his pack to get out of throne room. He didn't bother to say goodbye to Saint, he just left while his pack followed close behind him.

"Alpha, era uoy suolaej?" (Are you jealous?) Kalavan placed his hand on Oliver's shoulder, "No," there was a tinge of coldness in his tone and everyone around Oliver felt it as his words lingered in the air.

Saint watched as her boyfriend walked away, she could feel Oliver's cold aura and she didn't like it. She didn't understand why Oliver's mood dropped so fast, they were having so much fun before the lockdown happened. But she knew that she had to deal with that later, at that moment, she had to help the fallen angel.

"I just realised that I haven't introduced myself," Saint shot him a smile, "I'm Saint Olympia Alectrona and I'm the King of the Solar Kingdom,".

Lachlan quickly changed his position and bowed down to Saint, "Oh my. No, it's okay. You don't need to bow, you're a young god too,".

Lachlan sat on his legs and tilted his head at Saint, "But you're the King of the Solar kingdom and I don't know why but I feel like that's the most powerful kingdom on earth,".
