Chapter 2
"ELRAD, NOOO..." Her hands clasped securely on her ears. She did not want to hear him say it. His words were final and she knew it but whatever was said after that, she was oblivious and aware at the same time.
She looked at her mother, the silent cries that came out of her quivering mouth and the despair she so much tried to hide. "What deal is that father?" Era asked, not fully getting the picture but boldly confronting the situation with her eyes still so much glued on her mother.
"Elrad no. Please do not do this to me. Not to our daughter at least," Emerald pleaded again.
"I am sorry, Emerald. I love you and ur daughters." Turning his gaze back to Era, his face gave away his emotions as he uttered it out. "Your marriage."
BADUM! BADUM!

"Yes sir." The doors pushed open and they strode inside the bright but dark throne room. Although bright, the aura in the room spoke a different story. The den of the monster himself.
