Cursed By The Moonlight - Chapter 110

“What happened to Shelly?” Damien asked while rushing towards his unconscious mate.

“She suddenly fell on the floor. She was babbling something to Ari when she grabbed her hand.” Maxine answered.

“What did she say?” Zion asked.

“Cursed by the moonlight. A love that was never meant to be will end all creatures. Seek for the sword hidden in darkness, concealed by fire. Those were her exact words.” Diana responded.

“What sword?” Cole asked.

“My father’s sword.” Amaris said while pointing at the mark on Zion’s neck.

“I thought it was just a symbol.” Zoila commented.

“It was not.”

Everyone looked at the woman who had just spoken.

“Eiris?” Zion frowned.

“Hello, Zion. We meet again.” Eiris answered.

“So it’s true that you’re in Terra.” Zion said.

Amaris felt irritated seeing Zion and Eiris looking at each other. She grabbed Zion’s hand and pulled him beside her.

“Now continue.” Amaris ordered.

Eiris glared at Amaris, but thinking that she had no choice and sure that the Luna wouldn’t let her go, she decided to tell what she knew.

“You’re father’s sword isn’t just a symbol. It is a weapon. Phoebus had a prophecy about Phelan, but I don’t really know exactly what it was. I just heard it from the Gods in Caelum. They said that when two different realms collide, it will bring unbalance into all realms. The Gods will not let it happen, so they tried everything to avoid Phelan seeing the titans.”

“But he’s in the Underworld, and almost all the titans lived in Caelum. The Fallens were not allowed to go back, and they should never meet with those who lived up there. They will go straight to Tartarus when they break the law.” Prince Elwyn commented.

“The law was only applied to the Fallens, but those in Caelum could actually enter any realm. The Gods didn’t expect that someone on their side would want to see those who lived in the Underworld, so they didn’t impose any law preventing the Caelians from entering that realm.” Eiris continued.

“So what about that sword? You said it was my father’s. Why did Shelly say to look for it.?” Amaris asked impatiently.

“The sword was personally created by your father. Phelan discovered the prophecy, and he knew that his life was in danger. He made it for his protection. The sword was made out of the souls from the Underworld and the blood of the Death God, Thanatos.”

“Thanatos? He’s dead? He’s the Demon God’s lackey. How did he die?” Damien asked.

“He’s not dead. Phelan took his soul and imprisoned him inside the sword together with other souls.” Eiris answered.

“W-Wait, I’m confused. I’m not sure why that sword is important? Why do I need to find it?” Amaris asked again.

Eiris took a deep breath before answering.

“The only reason I could think of is that that sword could kill anyone. No one could break that weapon. It was forged in the Colossal Mountain made with the hardest metal in Caelum, Abrium. When Phelan died, he gave the sword to Selene. No one knows where she hides it.”

“Shelly said it’s hidden in darkness and concealed by fire. The only place I could think of was Tartarus. ” Zoila commented.

Amaris touched her temple. She suddenly felt like her head was being smashed.

“Let’s take everything one at a time. Our main goal now is to look for the last protrea in Ocearia, and then our next destination is Tartarus to look for Phoebus and Amaris’ corpus. If the sword is in Tartarus, we could also look for it there. Now, I want to know why Eiris is here?” Zion asked.

Eiris glanced at Amaris, then turned to Zion.

“Tell me why you’re here. I don’t want to hide anything from Ari.” He said.

Eiris felt disappointed but nodded in agreement.

“I’m here to deliver a message.”

“From who?”

“Him. He wants you to see him.”

Amaris wanted to know who was asking Zion to see him. But she had a terrible headache and couldn’t think straight. She couldn’t even clearly understand the things Eiris was talking about.

“Can he wait? I need to help Ari.”

The others were listening to their conversation and were confused and curious about the topic.

Eiris shook her head. “You know you can’t make him wait.”

Zion looked at Amaris, who was still holding her temple.

“Love? I need to go, but I promise to come back in two days.”

Amaris’ vision became blurry. She couldn’t answer Zion. She couldn’t tell him not to go. Her head was a mess, and she felt so exhausted, so she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Zion turned to Zoila and the others.

“You can go to Ocearia without me. I know you can find the last protrea without my help. Stay there and wait for me in two days.”

No one dared to talk back to Zion since he’s their Alpha. But Maxine didn’t care about it.

“Zion, why do you have to go with that bitch? Amaris said that she’s attracted to you because of the power of Ignus inside you. She showed something to Ari. I want to know what it was.” Maxine said while looking directly at Eiris.

Zion turned to Eiris again. “What did you show Ari?”

“T-The day she was caught by the guards of Caelum.”

“Why?” Zion asked again, but this time he was almost shouting.

“I-I”

Zion growled and walked towards Eiris, grabbing her arms.

“Did you show her? Answer me!”

“N-No! I was supposed to, but she was babbling about the day I gave you the mirror.”

Maxine felt that Zion was hiding something.

“Zion! What is it? Why are you mad at Eiris? Is there something that you didn’t want Ari to see?” She asked.

Zion released Eiris and glared at Maxine.

“I have no obligation to tell you.”

“I will accept your answer for now. But I want you to know that the reason I follow you is because of my cousin. If you hurt her, I won’t hesitate to kill you.” Maxine said before checking Amaris, who was sleeping on the couch.

Azalea walked towards Amaris and touched her forehead.

“She has a fever.” Azalea whispered.

Zion was surprised and rushed beside Amaris.

“She’s fine. She just needs a rest.” It was Eiris.

“Shut up!” Zoila and Maxine yelled at Eiris at the same time.

Zion turned to Zoila with a pleading look on his face.

“What?” Zoila asked her brother.

“Z, I really need to go. Can you take care of Ari for me?” Zion pleaded.

Zoila couldn’t reject his brother’s favor. Although she was against Zion leaving with Eiris, she agreed because he never called her Z if it wasn’t that important.

“Ari will get mad when she wakes up. But I’ll explain it to her.” Zoila said.

Zion smiled and looked at Amaris again before leaving the hotel suite.

“I can’t believe it. He left with another woman while his Luna lay in bed with a fever.” Maxine ranted.

“Max, I know my brother very well. He would not leave Ari without any valid reason.” Zoila responded.

“Fine! But I just hope he really has a good reason.”

It was seven in the evening when Amaris woke up. She was still a little dizzy, but she mustered her strength to go out of the room.

Prince Elwyn saw her then rushed towards her to support her. He took her hand and grabbed her waist, which surprised Amaris.

“Are you alright? It would be best if you don’t move around for now. Let’s go back to your room.” He said.

“Where are they?” She asked.

“They went out to eat at the hotel’s restaurant. I’m on first watch, so I was left here.” The prince answered.

“Is Zion with them?” Amaris asked.

Prince Elwyn didn’t answer. He helped Amaris go back to bed then prepared her a light meal.

“Prince Elwyn, I asked you earlier if Zion is with the others, but I did not receive a reply from you. Did he leave with Eiris?”

The prince sighed and nodded.

“But before you get mad, think about it first. Your mate would not leave you behind without reason. Maybe he really needed to go with that woman.”

Amaris didn’t care and couldn’t control her anger. She started screaming and throwing things inside the room.

Elwyn could understand Amaris. She was hurt because Zion left while she was sleeping and sick. He sighed then grabbed Amaris, pulling her into his arms.

“Stop it! Don’t act like a kid! He will come back. For now, let’s focus on finding the last protrea then we’ll wait for Zion in Ocearia. I got you. So please calm down..” The prince said calmly.
