Alphard leapt over his men, bit them, sank his fangs in a few and clawed his way out as fast as possible. But in the sea of Nyxers that were all going out, he could hardly succeed. He roared at his men to obey his command to give him way, but would his men listen? Everyone was in a hurry to leave after the chaos that were the fireballs.
But as soon as he reached the exit of the large crack, a fireball was hurled in that direction and hit the werewolves that were behind him. It got attached to one of them and blasted. Blood curdling shrieks emanated as more bodies exploded. Limbs and fur and hair and flesh fell on him.Follow current novels on novelb((in).(com)
With every kernel of energy he was left with, Alphard ran out of there, panic and terror setting in. He didn't want to die. Not so soon. If he survived this attack, he was going to go to his king and ask him to leave his useless war and rather focus on changing things in the Kingdom of Hydra, like giving equal rights to women, like letting Nyxers mate or marry.
When he reached the exit and was about to leap ahead and out of it, he turned back to see the mayhem. He shouldn't have. That one second cost him. A fireball came along his way and if he had jumped and left, it would have attached to another Nyxer, but it came right over his face.
"Noooo!" Alphard shouted as it burned through his skin. He tried to claw it out, but it exploded, killing Alphard. Every wish he had in his life came to an abrupt end.
Once finished, he rode back to his soldiers. And then he ordered them to construct tents. Felis took a long bath, removing every drop of blood from his body as he strategized for the next part. Since Aquila hadn't fallen, he knew it was time to focus on other kingdoms, but he had to be very clever.
He was going to target the faes. He was going to take them down one by one and for that he had to attack Pegasii. But he had to do it in a way that he killed every and each fae individually.
He also had to take care of the portal that was between the two realms. He had to close it somehow. And the only people who could help him close it were the monks of Cetus Monastery some of whom possessed dark magic. And so his first target was Cetus. Once he had Cetus at his feet, things would become easier.
The only problem was that between him and Cetus was the kingdom of Pegasii.

"They are all gone, Your Highness," said one of the faes who was standing in the court of King Biham.
Biham had received the message from Princess Tarazed about the impending attack on Aquila.
Her spies had noticed a very slight movement on the other side of the border. They were not sure if the Nyxers would come towards Aquila or not. Tarazed didn't want to take a chance. She knew that if the Nyxers came, Aquila, being a small kingdom, would fall very soon. She didn't have much time to reach Draka and she approached Pegasii.
