The Throne of Arbediin

Chapter Six

All of them are in shock, Daniel literally describes the three men who are using glamour spells to disguise their elven features.

“I'm sorry you must be misunderstood something, we will be going now, sorry to bother you.” Aileen tried to lose Daniel's grip on her arm, but surprisingly he didn’t budge, for a man that just got a fatal injury he got a strong grip.

“Look, whoever you’re now as an Elven, I recognize your soul immediately, so, care to explain something?”

Aiden moves forward and looks at Daniel intensely, he grabs Daniel's hands and then lets Aileen's arms loose from his grip.

“Who are you? I’m assuming you’re not human?”

Daniel chuckles and stares at all of them one by one. “Well, isn’t that obvious? I’m one of you.”

“What the f*ck! You’re elven?” Fenrir now upfront protecting Aileen from Daniel’s view.

“Relax wolf, that’s my best friend soul that you have there, I will never harm her in any way.

It was a heartwarming sentiment from Daniel, even Aileen couldn’t ignore that. She steps forward, ignoring Fenrir's objections.

“You, you recognize me? Even in this new body?”

“Honey, I will always recognize that beautiful soul of yours, the sparkling beauty of purity and innocence.”

Caleb, finally talking after being silenced in the corner. “You, you’re a soul reader, am I right?”

“Bingo! oh, I’m surprised that some of you still recognize my clan, even though it went extinct like 2000 years ago.”

“Well, obviously the extinction part wasn’t true at all.”

“You can think of it as the truth anyway, I’m the only one left from my clan.” Daniel then closes his eyes. “Now, I just want to sleep, if all of you want some answer from me, you have to protect me.”

Aiden gave a long sigh. “I figure as much, that’s why we let Aileen visit you, you have something that Dagna wants.”

Daniel opens one of his eyes, looks at Aiden, and then smiles widely. “You can say it like that, now let me rest, so I can meditate to heal myself faster.” He closes his eyes again but continues to talk. “Or maybe you can let Aileen cast her healing spell, I bet all of you will love to give her more stamina afterward.”

Hearing those words, make Fenrir almost punch Daniel in his gut, thankfully Aiden and Caleb hold him and then throw him out from the room.

“Seriously I hate that man, he knows everything!”

Everyone in the hospital hallway now looks at Fenrir and Aiden.

“Psssst… will you shut up, obviously since he’s a Soul Reader, he will figure as much.”

“So, what are we doing then? Just let him go, let Dagna minions have him.”

“No! I have a feeling that we are going to need him, we need to bring him back to the mansion.”

“How? He's f*cking injured.”

“Not for long,” Emir speak to them from the other side of the hallway, his hand are in his pocket mantle, his face is solemn.

“Sh*t f*ck did you teleport?” Fenrir couldn’t hide his shocking face.

“Yeah, of course in front of this audience, I came here by car, you dirty dog.” Emir rolled his eyes, and with a high fashion, the walk goes inside the room.

“F*cking dandy magician.” Fenrir got back to Emir's remark.

Emir goes inside the room where he saw Aileen sitting beside an empty patient bed, Caleb leaning against a wall while checking his phone.

“Where is he?”

“Daniel? He's at the bathroom.”

A flushing sound can be heard and then Daniel gets out of the bathroom, not even look like a man that got injured so bad yesterday.

“Sh*t dude, I’ll never imagine, the famous Soul Reader clan, I mean I heal you and all.”

“Well, if you could recognize me, it means I didn’t do a good job hiding.”

“Fair enough, I guess you must have your reason.”

“Oh indeed I am, at first I just want to run away from all of you, good or bad.”

Aiden and Fenrir go back in, Aiden looks at him with a suspicious face. “Why not hiding from us then? You could easily manipulate everything with your magic, but you did not do anything like that.”

Daniel lazily stretching out his body, looking at Aileen with a mysterious expression. “It’s because of her, you have my best friend soul.”

“Oh c'mon, just that? Tell me you’re joking?” Emir laughing but his eyes fixed to look at Daniel hard.

“No I am not, she was… still my best friend, I knew it from the moment I saw her, my destiny will bound to her.”

Everyone went silent, they know that whatever Daniel was saying, it’s the truth.

“Sh*t, then we must get you out of here, fast.” Fenrir looking exhausted rubbing his face trying to think some way.

“We have to get out of here fast, I’ll heal you at the mansion, I know that you don’t fully heal yet.” Aiden grabs Aileen's hand, together they’re walking outside of the room.

“Why can I heal him first?”

“No!! You will not, afterward, you will need bigger stamina, we aren’t ready for that yet.”

“Oh, I see.” Aileen drops her head, sounding her disappointment.

Aiden looks at her and then grabs her chin, he smiles warmly at her, his amber eyes are shining when Aileen looking back at him.

“I know you’re feeling useless and powerless, please don’t, we do all of these for your sake and we don’t want to make you have an assumption that all of us just using you as a tool or even worse a replacement.”

“I… how do you know that? You can read my mind?”

Aiden couldn’t help it, the moment Aileen says the words, he just has to do it. He takes Aileen's face so close and then kisses her lips softly.

Aileen gasp but then she enjoys every moment of it, Aiden’s lips full of affection, trying to be loved fully by Aileen's lips, he traced his tongue to her full mouth, waiting for an invitation.

Aileen can feel his lust over her, but then he abruptly stops the kiss and walk away from her. Aileen just standing there with a surprised look, not knowing what to do.

Caleb poking her shoulder, not realizing what kind of mischief Aiden do to Aileen. “Hey, why are you standing here?”

“Oh, yeah nothing, so how we are going to take Daniel out from this hospital?”

“Well, that’s the whole reason Aiden drags you out, so you can pretend to be Daniel's sister.” Caleb looks around trying to find Aiden. “Where is he anyway?”

Aileen's face reddens when Caleb mentions Aiden. “He, he got out.”

“Hmm… Why?”

“I… I don’t know.”

Caleb is puzzled by how Aileen reaction, but he’s not going to push her for some answer.

“Okay then, let me accompany you, it will not be long, cause he practically just has a minor injured by now.”

It turns out Caleb was right, after Aileen reported to the nurse's office about Daniel, they let her take him with some medicines for precautions.

Aiden appears in the room avoiding looking in Aileen's direction, but so does Aileen.

“You do know I don’t need the wheelchair.” Daniel was pointing at the wheelchair which the nurse provided.

Fenrir grabs the handle of the wheelchair and shoves it in front of Daniel. “Just shut up old man, sit on it, and play along, you supposed to be cared for by your sister now.”

“Excuse me! Whom do you call old? I may be 2500 years old, by I have the vigor of a 21 years old human!”

“Yeah, yeah, just hop on!”

Daniel sits on the wheelchair even though he’s grumbling all the way into the parking lot. Aiden opens the door for Daniel, Caleb goes into the front.

Aiden stops Aileen when she wants to accompany Daniel.

“You should go with Emir and Fenrir for now.”

Aileen totally agrees with that, things totally get awkward after the kiss. She goes into the passenger seat of Emir's car, while Emir and Fenrir go to the front.

“Amyra? Why are you here? Don’t you want to accompany Daniel?”

Aileen wasn’t answering and just staring at the window, Emir and Fenrir look at each other, Fenrir gave him a shrug and he starts up the engine of the car, they drive away from the hospital with Aiden’s car tailing from behind.

Daniel’s making himself comfortable in the back seat of the car, he looks at thoroughly the two of the elven men. “You know that I always realized that the big shot investors for our bank were actually an elven, right?”

“Yes, we can see that now.” Answered Caleb with some annoyance.

“The funny part was, that you never even realize that I was elven after all. Hahahaha.”

“Seriously Aiden, a good call to separating Fenrir from this clown.”

“Figured as much, Fenrir will be blowing a fused if we let them in the same room, not to mention an hour together in a small car.”

“Hey, it’s not my fault, your subordinate just too wild in nature, so sad though he’s actually my type.”

Aiden and Caleb snorted from his realization, the two of them imagining Fenrir being seduced by Daniel makes the two of them almost laugh so hard. Until a huge thud from the open road and they can see Emir’s car fly and roll around into the forest under.

“F*ck, they’re here already!”

Caleb stops the car and the three of them rushing into the wrecked car under the big cliff.

“Amyra!!” Aiden shouted so hard while he was expanded his wing and then fly to the wrecking car below.

He checks the car, it's empty, a rush of relief came into him.

“Aiden, how was it?”

“Don’t worry they’re not…”

Before Aiden finishing his sentence a sudden blow to his wing makes him drop to the forest below.

“s**t, Aiden!” Caleb shouted, with Daniel on his side looking to the culprit.

“Caleb! We have some company!”

Daniel pointing at the sky to see two elven in a wind sphere looking at them, it’s Kawan and Daef, the two elven wickedly smiling from above.

“Well, Daef, good to see that you can still stand after the abused.” Caleb mocking him, he is sensing that all of his friends are nearby, so he makes a plan to prolong the conversation to give them enough time.

“Shut up! You dirty blood clan! Just give me the men, and we’ll give you a quick death!”

“Who? These men?” Caleb pointing his finger at Daniel.

“Yes!!! Who else other than him, you stupid dirty blood!”

“Oh, I’m sorry, I thought you want someone else from around here.”

“Shut up! Shut up!” Daef the little elven was basically hysterical by now, his decrepit features look so funny jumping ups and downs because of how enraged he was.

Daniel cannot believe his eyes, he whispers to Caleb. “Pssst… I must tell you, I feel so embarrassed those two overpowered me before, I mean they look like tiny peanuts compared to my power.”

“Don’t be deceived by their act, they’re Dagna Amyr's choice for his guardian, they’re powerful.”

Daniel observes the two of the villains once again, Kawyun just standing there, while Daef still jumping ups and downs like a mini toy with a spring.

“Are you sure?”

“Positive, though well, they’re not right in the head.”

“I’m guessing too many blows taken when they were on the battlefield?”

Both of them now on the verge of laughing. Kawhyun saw their exchange expression, he transforms into a big white wolf and the jump directly to the two of them.

Caleb anticipating that already takes Daniel's hand and makes the two of them into a huge pile of black smokes, whirling away from the white wolf.

He transforms back nearby and told Daniel to hide away, he refuses and tells him that he can also fight along. Caleb then goes to strike at Kawhyun the white wolf, while Daniel chants a golden rope to cast down Daef.

Caleb's eyes are reddened his fangs are now visible, he uses almost a hundred percent of his power, he knew that he cannot underestimate Kawhyun.

Kawhyun, growls at Caleb, his big claw are now ready to tear Caleb's flesh, he jumps and aims at Caleb Jugular, but the Vampyr avoids the wolf in the Nick of time, he then punches Kawyun right in his guts.

Caleb then slicing his veins, he let his blood flow into the ground, the blood then transforms into a sword, a blood sword. Caleb gripping the sword hard and then tried to slice Kawyun with it.

Meanwhile, Daniel, who dropped Daef into the ground, now has to face the cunning little elven, Daef running away, and then shoot some fireballs towards Daniel, Daniel conjures a shield, he looks hard to find cunning little sorcerer but to no avail.

Daniel can hear him laughing from the shadow of the trees, he just needs to find his exact location to give him a hard blow. Suddenly, he sees a movement from one of the thick bushes, he readies the spell and then conjures a large steel frame and drops it into the exact location, he can hear a shout and then a groan.

Daniel, finally sees the little sorcerer being trapped in his steel jail, smiling widely at him. “Well, got you, you little flea!”

“Release me you damn maggot!”

“Oh shut up, just remain there, for now, I need to help my new friend.”

Daniel then running back to Caleb who still fighting with Kawhyun, he can hear Daef protesting in his tiny jail, a sudden movement from his left almost make him thrown to the ground, it’s Emir, with the already transform Fenrir.

The three of them rushing to the battle and then shocked by the end result, Caleb unconscious with Aiden, who got a broken wing by his sides, while they can see now a monster, not actually a wolf, but two feet form with a head of a wolf, a larger version, a bulky body of a wolf standing with two feet, eyes red, big bloody fangs and a huge claw ready to mangle anything.

Aiden looks at the three of them with a grim face. “We have a bigger problem now.”
