chapter 18

Ian's POV

I scoffed as I thought of Roshan apologizing. Images of him displaying his creepy smile came to my head. That looked more like him.

As we slowly moved through the city and the beautiful sites came into view, I began to wonder,who was Roshan.....

He didn't seem like the type to lie about owning the place if anything he was bragging about it. And his brother....

The looked nothing alike but the had something in common..., Confidence.

And that type of confidence can only stem from a level of strength and power. I turned once again to look at Zimri as he walked gracefully his feet gliding on the ground in light steps and his blond hair moved with the wind. Is he really human ....., I wondered.

Turning to look at the Princess,I realised she must be enjoying this out door trip more than me as her eyes darted left and right and a big smile was plastered on her face.

Seeing her this way caused a small smile to come from me but soon my eyes furrowed and my expression became smug as I realized we were being followed.

Not again...,I hissed in my mind.

Who could it be this time. Pierre..? Clove?

Serina?

I stopped to take in my environment as I tried to pinpoint their exact location.

"Someone has sharp senses." Zimri praised nodding slightly as if liking what he was seeing.

I turned briefly to give Zimri a doubtful look but soon focused my eyes to the front as two figures came into view walking towards us unafraid.

"My my, who do we have here? "

"The crimson wolf in person" he said grinning answering his own question.

I raised my eyes brows as I wondered who they were. But one thing was for sure, the certainly knew who I was and the were here for me.

The spokes man was blonde and he had this playful expression to him almost the same as Roshan.... His lips curled into an upward smile as he looked at me his eyes gleaming with excitement.

Taking my eyes off him for some minutes, the landed on the person slightly behind him. His silver hair stood motionless even with the wind. His eyes gazing intently at me probably not even blinking.

Closing the gap between us in a second, the blondie came at me his fist already taking the motion for a punch. So fast...,I said in my mind.

But not as fast as Roshan...

Seeing the direction of his punch, I leaned back at the last minute using my fore arm to throw the direction of the punch slightly to the side, stamping my left leg at once and crashing my fist into his torso.

He skidded back a few steps stopping soon after. This was the same punch I used on Clove and I began to wonder how strong he really was and silver haired was yet to join. This was going to be tough....

The blonde looked surprised as he cleaned few streaks of blood from the side of his mouth. His expression became serious for a slight second and soon his smile appeared again.

"This is OVER", he shouted sprinting faster than before. I readied myself as I could see his movements and I ducked from his incoming punch but soon a voice rang from my back

"Missed me ...", He said and I knew it was too late as I gritted my teeth preparing to bear through the pain.

"My my, you were told to only greet him", a familiar voice said from behind me. Turning I could see Zimri holding up the blondies hand and was telling him off to which the blondies lips turned into a pout.

" No fun...", he said and sighed disappointed.

I raised my eyebrows slightly in confusion and I soon noticed the silvered hair was walking towards me. Sensing no evil intent, I let down my guard.

" You have to excuse him", he said pointing to the blond haired.

"He can get carried away sometimes", he added later slightly shaking his head.

"The names Kael ", the blonde one said walking over.

"And the boring one is Dorrien", he added after.

"These are Roshans students, Zimri said walking over and clearing up the confusion.

"You three will be training together so try to get along, he added after looking at Kael.

But Kaels attention was on something else or someone..

Walking over to the Princess and giving a slight smile, he took her hand raising it up to his lips.

Gently taking the Princess's hand off his , I looked at him with killer intent which seemed to add to his amusement as he chuckled loudly.

Dorrien came and dragged Kael along as I decided to walk with the Princess still not trusting the two.

Walking passed stalls, we were greeted by different merchants who seemed luckily to have no knowledge of us.

Maybe this place isn't so bad.., I thought.

We approached what seemed like the centre of the city and Zimri walked through a mini gate into a large group of houses. The path way was lined with different kinds of exotic gardens and golden rails and every detailed looked like it was crafted with care.

We stopped at one the biggest houses there and soon the door opened and a middle aged lady opened the door showing a friendly smile.

" Welcome",she said looking towards me and Nyx after which she nodded to Zimri and escorted Nyx inside.

Taking a step inside, I felt a tug on my shirt and I turned to see Zimri.

"Why don't me and you have a little spar "
