Ziah now had only one last question that has been bugging her and she was hopeful that the Queen could have the answer. She looked at the queen for few seconds and finally managed to ask "so what am I? I can feel am no longer the same human girl I used to be. I feel like I have some weird feeling inside me like am powerful, I can't explain but I can hear even the furthest noise. I can sense peace and danger from people, aah what am I? Am not normal anymore? Is it because Raven bit me?" She had released all her questions and worries now she was only waiting for answers which could solve the puzzle in her head.
"I don't know what you are Ziah, but I also can sense you have powers in you. We must start training you so that you can be able to control your power and use them to protect yourself. And about Raven biting you umh there's something you need to know about that situation " the queen explained
"what's it?" Ziah asked
"By biting you, you've become his mate. And by being his mate, it means you are now his future wife and future crown Princess . You're now bound to be his partner in this life time, the only thing missing is the marriage and the bonding night " Queen Samantha explained to Ziah and Ziah was awed and shocked as the news were kind of heavy to swallow. 'Bonding night what's that? Like husband and wife oh no am not ready. Marriage, am supposed to be married to a Vampire! But at least this life has good people who look like they love and care for me' she screamed inside her head.
"I would want to know about my powers first, about the bond and marriage I'll understand them later" Ziah explained well and the Queen was pleased because she didn't say no . So now she had to help her understand and control her powers and as her future mother in law she'll gladly do it.
"That's a good idea my dear, first we need to know how we can trigger your powers then we can know how to control them" said Queen Samantha
"I don't know, we'll try." Ziah suddenly had a strange feeling and without notice her hair started glowing and her eyes glowed into a deep gold and her body was emitting strong aura and she had like lightning bolts on her hands building up. The queen was shocked what's happening 'oh my this girl is really so powerful, I've never seen anyone in Silersia having this much power' and suddenly Ziah stood up and looked at the queen and said "I feel danger is around us" and after she said that a soldier came in to break terrifying news
"My queen, the Prince's in danger. He went to the northern gate to hunt and later we received news that he has been ambushed by a group of urafians and their monsters" the soldier who looked wounded explained to queen and nothing but worry was on her face, she knew this stubborn son would not leave a fight so he must have sent his wounded soldiers to warn others and now he might be all alone. She turned to look at Ziah she didn't know why but she felt Ziah can save that wreched prince, but before she could say anything Ziah had disappeared.
"Come on take me to the prince" the queen commanded but the guards and soldiers stood like statues.
"We can't your Highness it's the Prince's order" the soldier explained and the queen was now angry very angry
"What order? Don't I have orders too, take me right now or I'll go myself" the queen shouted
Ziah was now in a place she didn't know, she just found herself here. And the place was rough, it looks like a heavy fighting is going on here. She sees Ashley and then Raven who was fighting intensely but whatever he was fighting with was more strong than him so he can't outhold them, she has to help him but how she was just standing there watching. She has no skills with swords or knives, what will she do? She was frustrating and when she saw that one of the beast's claws was about to Slash Raven. A sudden feeling erupted inside her and without warning she had sent lightning bolts to the beast which had slashed the beast's leg. Raven was waiting for the impact but no it didn't come, when he looked at who saved him he was surprised. What's she doing here? How did she save me? While looking at her and forgetting the one leg beast infront of him, he was shocked by a big bang and after looking the beast was now dead on the ground and was it's head was slashed. Ziah was there looking like a Goddess, Goddess of lightning oh she was glowing like the sun.
Ziah had managed to kill all of the beasts in one move and few Urafians but others had managed to run away. After few seconds of fighting and using her powers she was now breathing,even she was surprised how did she kill those huge things? Oh she's so cool now? Why was it that when Raven's not okay she's triggered? They were staring at each other and Ashley broke the spell.
"Come on we need to head back to the empire, they might come back" Ashley spoke and finally the two released each other from the gaze they had looked. Raven headed to Ziah and took her hand but the bolts on her hand zapped him.
"Am sorry I didn't mean it, I don't know even how to take them off" Ziah struggled to be normal after zapping Raven.
"Maybe try to calm down, maybe" Raven suggested and Ziah tried as he said and yes it worked and she was now back to normal without bolts or glowing and Raven grabbed her princess style and leaped with her to the castle where he found his mother shouting at the soldiers and guards.
"Raven are you okay? Oh Ziah ? What happened is she okay?" The queen asked after seeing them and Raven just nodded and asked his mom to let Ziah rest first and he'll explain everything later. After Raven took Ziah to his room and tucked her to bed he was leaving but stopped to turn and said " thank you " then he left before she could say anything.
