Chapter 53

Death (Part 2):
They were in Ruthless room discussing quietly when Vala suddenly screamed in pain, touching her stomach.
Ruthless, knowing what was happening quickly went to inform Galore who swung into action and ordered his faster messenger to come with the palace midwife who didn't live too far away from the palace.
"Didn't I say that her delivery is closer than we think?" Galore said as he watched his son trying to cool down Vala's sudden hot body with his ice power.
The midwife came down from the messenger back who had turned into his lycan wolf to carry her and bring her to the palace fast.
She was taken to the Ruthless room where she excused everyone except Ruthless. She quickly began her work immediately.
Vala was in pain as she was told to push. She did as told and pushed with all her might, biting into Ruthless arm which was on her forehead, but he didn't seem to mind as his concern was on Vala.
Galore on the other hand informed the same messenger to tell Pula to come to the palace immediately.

Unknown Cave:
Teleporting himself back to the cave he knows his mother dwells, he drops a conscious Ares and Athena on the ground, going to meet his mother who was discussing with Zelik. He still noticed Haule was still asleep.
"My Lord you have returned," Zelik said, bowing down before Lord Daniel.
"Yes, did you do as I said?"
"Yes my Lord, I took all the supernatural king's powers except for the King of Dragons, Queens of Elves and Galore." Zelik responded.
"That's good, you did a good job Zelik."
"You are so kindful with your words my Lord, thank you," he said with a large smile, pleased with himself.
"Mother, is he awake yet?"
"No, not yet," his mother replied, "How was it with the gods?"
"Defeated and shamed, except for these two who I want to join us in this Battle." Lord Daniel told his mother.
"I have got news for you son, Vala is now legally married to Ruthless. They got married today and her stomach now looks like someone who will give birth any time soon."
"She shouldn't have gotten married to him, now she will become a widow, but that is good because with Ruthless out of the way, she will learn to love me," Lord Daniel said, turning to face his two new prisoners. "Will you join hands with me to kill Ruthless?" he asked.
"Yes," Ares said immediately
"No," Athena said, "How do you expect me to kill Ruthless, the man I am in love with, if you ask me I would say we should kill Vala, she is the person who ought to die not Ruthless."
"If Ruthless really loved you, he wouldn't get married to Vala in the first place," Lord Daniel said.
"If Vala really loved you, she wouldn't get married to Ruthless in the first place," Athena threw back his words at him.
"Athena, do not speak to him like that, do you want to lose your life just like the way he did to the rest of us back then in the realm of the gods? Please my dear sister, don't speak to him in such a manner."
"And you have forgotten that she is pregnant for Ruthless."
"I am still not joining hands with you to fight against Ruthless," Athena said, "He will win you."
"I am running out of patience Athena, your brother has swore allegiance to me." Lord Daniel told her and lifted one of his legs to hit on the ground, ice surrounded her in the shape of sharp spikes. "Those are poisonous spikes, one touch with it from your body, I don't need to tell you what happened."
"Ares, are you keeping silent and watching him hurt me? You want to join hands with this mad man who Ruthless will defeat?"
"Athena, be careful of what you speak," Ares warned his sister, "Or else I will be forced to kill you." he added, "I was the one who made way for Daniel to come into the realm of the gods. I gave him my support and pleaded with him not to take your power away or turn you into stones that you will join hands with us to fight Ruthless."
"You betrayed us Ares,"
"Did I?" Area asked getting up to his feet, "I don't think so."
"Enough of this chit chat, you will stay here until the Battle is over," Lord Daniel said, "It's time to bring my falcon's in."
"You won't succeed,"
"Just watch me," Lord Daniel said, "Mother, Zelik and Ares let's go." He added and created a portal that will lead them to the falcons.
His mother sealed up Athena lips so that she won't make a noise or inform Hauled when he wakes up.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Coming out of the portal, Lord Daniel wasted no time breaking a small part of the wall Ruthless had used in holding the falcons for years.
"I wonder how he was able to hold the wall when he is no longer strong," Zelik said.
"Don't get deceived by that Zelik, even though he is still punished by the Creator, there are a bit of his powers still left inside him," Lord Daniel said as the falcons who now noticed the hold made out of the wall, started pouring in. "Head straight to the Lycan kingdom, do not hurt the people but head straight to the palace that's where you will fight the one who created you." He shouted in command at falcons who stopped in front of him. Obeying his command, they all began to run with inhuman speed, faster than a vampire, towards Galore kingdom.
"Who created the Falcons?" Ares asked, as he watched the creatures coming out from the hole Daniel had made, running towards Galore kingdom.
"Ruthless," Lord Daniel replied.
"But I thought Nilela was the one who created the Falcons before his sudden disappearance three thousand years ago, so how come Ruthless created them? And also remember when I met Ruthless, he was just a child."
