SLASH
*Blood Spurt*
Howl!
Cedric's loud howling sound echoed in the area, catching Selene's attention and others. Dylan and Serena recognized that voice. It was Cedric Morgan.
Without further ado, everyone moved, running in the direction of that howl. What if Cedric interfered in the duel between Kira and Dominique?
"Damn it! The traitor showed up!" Dylan mumbled through his gritted teeth. He hated Cedric to the core.
Meanwhile, Serena had a bad feeling about this. She could feel that Dominique was not moving in his spot. Was he defeated? Was he alright?
The Moon Goddess was following the group. She didn't have any idea what was happening on the battleground. However, she could smell the metallic scent of blood. It belonged to a werewolf!
The moment they arrived there, everyone was shocked at the scene. Dominique's body was lying on the ground with so much blood. But the unsightly scene was Kira holding a werewolf detached limb.
A few moments ago, Kira broke Cedric's arm that was targeting Dominique's head. If not for Kira's quick action, Dominique should have been beheaded by now.
Kira saw Cedric attacking the immobilized Werewolf King. He used his vampiric speed to save Dominique. Using his strong arm and sharp nails, Kira injured Cedric, causing him to lose one of his arms.
Cedric was now howling in pain. He just lost his arm. His blood spurted around.
Dominique was speechless. He had never expected that Kira would save him. Why did he do that?
"What is happening here? Did Cedric help Dominique to attack Kira? Are they working together?" The Moon Goddess asked. She moved closer to Cedric who was now slowly turning back to his human form.
"No, Moon Goddess. Dominique didn't break the rule of our duel. Our battle was already finished when Cedric appeared from out of nowhere, launching a sneaky attack against Dominique. I just stopped him from harming Dominique," Kira explained the situation to them.
"Why? Why did you save me? Don't you want me to die?" Dominique asked Kira in disbelief. They were mortal enemies so it was unlikely that Kira would save him. He couldn't understand his motive.
Kira gave him a meaningful smile and said, "The moment I defeated you... you were no longer my rival... nor my enemy. We are promoting peace for both our clans. Since I defeated you, you can no longer say no to the peace treaty! I protected you because you are the King of Werewolves... and Selene's father." They couldn't change the fact that Selene was reborn to be the daughter of Dominique and Serena.
Serena immediately ran toward Dominique, assisting him to stand up. "Thank you, Kira... for protecting my husband."
Dominique didn't want to admit it but he felt touched by Kira's words.
Dylan, on the other hand, captured Cedric so that he could no longer move. The Moon Goddess put Cedric into sleep. She didn't want him to interfere once more.
"So what is the result of the duel?" Victoria questioned them.
"I won..." Kira responded, pulling Selene into a hug. Selene hugged him back, rejoicing.
As he watched the two, Dominique motioned Serena to help him walk toward Kira and Selene. Upon reaching their spot, Dominique kneeled and apologized for his evil deeds.
"Forgive me... I acknowledge my mistakes... my wrongdoings..."
Dominique also apologized to Raizel and Victoria. He humbled himself in front of them. "I was wrong... I put the vampires under slavery..."
Raizel and Victoria exchanged glances with one another. They never imagined that things would turn out like this. No more bloodbath! No more fights! Nor war!
'Is peace really achievable in this situation?' Victoria asked Raizel through their mind link.
'Let's trust our King. He is back... and of course, our dear Moon Goddess,' Raizel simply responded through their mind link.
'We can't defeat them both if we insist on continuing the fight.' Raizel added, cracking some jokes.
Victoria just rolled her eyes skyward. But for some reason, she felt like a heavy burden had been lifted off her chest. Maybe, deep inside, she was also hoping for peace!
"So this is final. We are going to sign this Peace Treaty between werewolves and vampires. Every creature must abide by this treaty to maintain the peace in the Kingdom of Phantasia." The Moon Goddess declared to them.
Everyone agreed, even Dominique Silvano. The Moon Goddess felt so happy.
"But we have to do a certain ceremony. It will be a union between the Vampire King and the Werewolf Princess." The Moon Goddess was referring to the wedding ceremony of Kira and Selene. All the creatures must witness it. Their union would symbolize and represent the Peace Treaty between the two clans.
"Oh, wedding bells!" Dylan blurted out excitedly.
"We will follow your words, our Moon Goddess," Kira respectfully said, pulling Selene closer to his body. He couldn't wait to do the wedding ceremony with her.
"I still have something to do. We will settle this after I heal everyone." The Moon Goddess planned to treat everyone who was injured during the fight. The Moon Fairies were already on the move.
But before the Moon Goddess could leave, Selene and Kira approached her.
"Moon Goddess... I just want to know how you were able to protect our son even though I died?" Selene still had so many unanswered questions.
The Moon Goddess held her hands and gave her the answer she sought. "Selene... you didn't die right away. In fact, I preserved your body until your son was born. Unfortunately, you died after he was born. I gathered your spirit and preserved it for your reincarnation. Your son's soul and power were sealed. Lowell possesses the strongest power in the land of Phantasia."
"The blood of the legendary white wolf mixed with the blood of the Vampire King... Lowell is the most powerful creature in the land of Phantasia. I have to protect him against the greedy creature who wants to abuse Lowell's power and extraordinary ability."
They were still talking when they heard the little one's voice.
"Mama! Papa!"
When they turned around, they saw Little Lowell standing next to Riemc, the White Witch. She brought Little Lowell with her.
"He can speak now? Our son can utter words now?" Kira mumbled in amusement.
The Moon Goddess let out a soft giggle. "I healed him."
Without further ado, Kira and Selene ran toward Lowell. The three hugged each other!
