BRYAN
Bryan stared at Nina's sleeping figure. It's been 2 weeks since they have confronted his brother and up until today, she still hasn't woken up. And Adonis.
Well he still blames himself.
But everything went fine, the hell holes suddenly closed, and the Ruler of the four great Kingdoms went back to their own Kingdoms to resume their work and duty. Everything seems to go back to normal.
"Alpha?" Bryan turned around to see Eris carrying one of her pups. The boy was named Reiner. Bryan smiled at Eris and he step aside to let them see Nina.
"I was just passing by to see how she's doing. Is there any sign that she's going to wake up soon?" Eris asked him, Bryan sighed and he shakes his head
"No, still no sign at all." The two of them fell in silence.Bryan sat beside Nina and he held her hand.
"How is Alpha Adonis?" Bryan looked up at Eris.
"He still blames himself for what happen." Eris nods her head.
"Did you try to talk to him?"
"I tried everything. I talked to him but he won't listen. I don't know what to do next. I still have some jobs to do for the pack." He said, as his grip on Nina's hand tighten, waiting to see if she would squeeze back.
"She needs to wake up. Or the pups won't survive."
ADONIS
He layed there on his bed all curled up. A single tear drops from his eyes as the guilt of the crimes he had committed slowly eats him up. He couldn't shake the image of Nina as she struggles to breath. He couldn't shake the fear that struck him down
His hand clench even more together,
He doesn't deserve to be alive right now. A lot of people have died because of him, because of his lack of control, he even put the life of his mate in danger.

He growled when someone knocked on his door.
"Go away!" He shouted, but the intruder didn't listen instead she kicked the door open and walked inside the room. Adonis sat up only to see Lucy standing there looking mad. She suddenly grips his shirt and punch him in his face, Adonis hear the cracking of Lucy's fist as it collided with his face.
"You fucking Bastard!!! What are you doing here moping like a bitch?! Crying your eyes out for a useless reasons! While my sister is there lying! Without even the possibilities of waking up! Why are you being a coward?! Why are you hiding when your mate and child needs you the most?" Adonis stared at Lucy wide eyed as she clutch her broken hand.
"What are you doing Adonis?" She asked him. He couldn't answer, because he was still shock by the impact of Lucy's fist, but the question made him aware of the situation that he was facing.
"Is your ego bruised? That you can't even go out of your room? Is your conscience eating you alive? Since when did you feel guilty? You've already killed many Adonis? And is this really the time for you to mope around and feel guilty? Well let me tell you one thing! You've chosen a wrong time to cry and act like a bitch! Stop crying here and get out of this room!!! Nina needs you! " After Lucy said that she went out of his room leaving him there with a bruised cheeks.
But he didn't mind the ache, all he could think about was... Nina needs him, she needs him to be there by her side to hold her hands. Adonis shakes his head and he realized what he was doing. He was crying and being selfish in the wrong time. With that he steps out of the room and search for his mate.

"Eris." She called Eris when she saw her walking out the room. She was shock to see him.
"where's Nina?" She pointed the room that she came out of and Adonis quickly entered, He first saw his brother,and he saw her, lying there on the bed looking peaceful.
"Glad you decided to join us brother"Bryan said with a smile on his face. Adonis slowly walks towards them, his heart beats even faster. Adonis kneeled beside Nina's bed and he kissed her palm.
"I'm here now, please Nina, wake up. I need you. We need you." Adonis said, he felt Bryan's hand on his shoulder.
"I'm sorry because i did this to you, but i promise to make it up to you once you wake up. We will start design the room of our babies once you wake up, i'm sure you'll like. Then were going to think of names. I was thinking of naming them Artemis and Athena or Algea and Circe. What do you think." He asked her as he placed his hand on her still flat stomach.
"Hey, you need to wake up, so the babies could finally have the nutrition they need." He added, kissing her hand again.
"The whole pack is waiting for you Nina, they are excited to hear this announcement. And also Eris wanted you to meet your nephews. Reiner and Rex. They are two healthy boys. They got their father's look." Bryan said, they waited for a minute to see if Nina would responed.
"Your mother found her second chance mate by the way. He is a nice man, you'll probably have another sibling. Oh! And Lucy is also pregnant. Can you believe that? And your friend Sky promised you that she'll visit once in a while. And that we should visit the west sometimes." Brya added holding Nina's other hand.
"We've got a lot of things to do together so wake up already, so we could already start. So we could already creat a new path for the future." Bryan smiled at Adonis who returned his smile.
"And we kinda miss your beef stake." The two of them laugh. They both look at Nina, still waiting and still hoping. But when she didn't open her eyes, Adonis sighed, and tears broke out from his eyes, it drip down on Nina's hand as he sobs. The guilt that he had felt is slowly crushing him, to think that he was the reason why his mate was lying there on the bed, not knowing if she'll wake up or not.
"I'm sorry, i'm so sorry." He sobs. He closed his eyes and prayed, he prayed for the first time in a long time. He prayed and beg to bring her back to them.
"Hey.... Why are you crying?" He suddenly opened his eyes, when he felt someone wiping his tears away.
"Don't cry....you look ugly." Adonis slowly lifted his head to look at Nina...and there she is...smilling at him.
"Hi"

And so begins the tale of a young knight and his reluctant companion, in a journey that the order most definitely would not approve of and could very well spell a life of hardship and strife for him in the future — but hey, doesn’t that just add to the thrill of it?

Are things ever so crystal clear in life, those of us with experience know that it can be considered a blessing to have such a straight forward path in life. Sometimes things go right, sometimes something occurs that was simply never imagined. Sometimes life seems to flow so quickly but sometimes it just seems stuck, cursed to repeat itself. Cycles upon cycles we see around us, but perhaps in only a moment things change. Can this be stopped or do we even want it to be stopped? Are things always as evil as they seem, or are they so similar that we find it painful. Come visit this little spot and decide for yourself what you interpret this is... _________________________________________________ This fiction is a mix of many things and for simplicity sake is the story of one man's rise to power in a fashion fit be called a demon lord. Ever read all those novels where you get a here is this bad guy we called you here to go deal with by the power of our god so here is some magic and training go kill em. Here is the other side's view of their rise to power in a fashion that perhaps seems evil, perhaps not. Is our MC truly that evil or is he simply following what he feels like is best for him, who is to say that he is truly a blight aganist the gods for surely it is not so simple in life. This will have some elements of dungeon building but it takes mostly a back seat to things as a background thing, a weak to strong theme well yeah but it won't really be personal power since we are doing what is essentially nation building. Don't worry there will be no romance as a main theme, if you find any it is unintentional or simply a very minor element overall, hopefully won't be any of the social/relationship gender issues from last time for those that read my first ficiton since that really is not what I want the story to be about. Progress in story is a bit of a mix of fast and slow I felt overall for the story, time skips were short and things piled up quickly then calmed down before building up again. Not sure how I did with characterizing and writing some concepts but at least I wanted people to think a little. Some attempt to keep things realistic to a degree considering you know magic since I wanted a bit more depth to things. Come check out the story and decide for yourself how you feel about some things.
