Ancient Mystic's War of the Realms Saga by Lady Adellandra Dratianos (hot novels to read .txt) 📕

long and my memory is still in pieces."
"As is mine." Adellandra told them. "So, between the four of us, we will destroy Orthos' Empathy, Logic, and Magic, thus destroying him completely."
O'Dell blinked at that and she grinned. "You did not think I was going to do it all by my lonesome, did you? We have been fighting with him for months. I want him gone and the only way to do it is to bring an outside party into the picture."
"I agree, totally." Draconis responded. "I have powers immeasurable now, more than I had before, and I would do anything for you both, without question." He turned to O'Dell. "Which also means, destroying the menace of the one you called Bratton."
O'Dell nodded and stood, conjuring a sword in his hands. Adellandra took her cue and unsheathed Spiritblade.
Draconis' eyes jumped in alarm and he automatically placed himself in a ready-position.
"We're not going to fight you, Draconis, so you can get that thought out of your mind." The Lady told him. "We're going to make you Lord Guardian."
Draconis relaxed and nodded, stepping up to face them. "Whenever you are ready."
O'Dell pointed his blade to him, a brilliant midnight-blue colored energy of his Lord Guardian's Wizard's Magic flowed through it to wrap itself around and be absorbed by Draconis' body and own magic.
"By the powers of the Ancient Mystics and Wizards, Gods and Goddesses and all that I have within me, I hereby bequeath you, Lord Draconis Dratianos, all titles, ranks, and powers as Lord Guardian of the Realms, to be consort and mate to Lady Guardian." O'Dell rasped. "May your reign be peaceful, our Realm remain happy, and all the days of your lives be filled with joy. So mote it be."
It was Lady Guardian’s turn. "I take you, Lord Draconis Vilinos Dratianos, my love, my mate, my all, as my Lord Guardian of the Realms. Do you accept your new position and all duties it entails?"
Draconis looked up at her lovingly and nodded. "I accept."
The Lady tapped his left, then right shoulders with Spiritblade. "By all the powers that I have within me and those of the Ancient Mystics, Wizards, Gods and Goddesses, I name you Lord Guardian Draconis Vilinos Dratianos, my consort and mate, Lord Guardian and Protector of the Realms. So sayeth I, it is done."
Both of them sheathed their swords and Adellandra was given a long, soothing kiss by Draconis.

Story #3:
Orthos’ Final Destruction

O'Dell hugged him. "Welcome back to the Realm of Dreams, Lord Guardian."
Draconis nodded. "I would say it is good to be back, but under the current circumstances, that is left to wait." He cleared his throat. "As my first duty as Lord Guardian of the Realms and my Lady's consort and mate, I will, by all the blood and power that is in my veins, rid all three of you of Orthos."
"I agree, but there is just one problem with that, my love." Adellandra told him.
"Problem?"
"Grand Magus is wreaking havoc among the Realms with Orthos' Dark Magic." She said. "We have to find and stop her first."
"Follow your new ties, Lady Guardian." O'Dell told her. She turned and he smiled. "She did use the Sphere to tie all the Ancient Mystics together recently. Use that tie to find her."
"Grand Magus was able to control the destructive magic of the Dream Realms' Sphere?" Draconis asked, incredulous.
"Aye, Draconis." O'Dell supplied.
"When it comes to the Grand Magus, never underestimate her or her abilities." Lady Adellandra remarked. "She has always been the twin that could handle the more darker side of our Ancient Mystic Magic. She learns every kind of magic quickly and controls it easily after a few self-taught lessons. That is why she is called Grand Magus."
"I see." Draconis supplied. "That sounds like someone else I used to know." Adellandra stared at him and he grinned. "You do remember your own duo-sita Adarramena, do you not?"
"I do now, thanks to you. Did you want to know something funny?"
"I could use a chuckle." Draconis supplied with a smile.
"Adarra is the Grand Magus' Craftname, from the Magick of the Blue Moon Coven's own High Priestess, Darlene Bennington, otherwise known as 'Red Shawl Starchaser.'"
"That is funny." Draconis said. "I recall one of your memories of her being blood-bound to a Firestorm." Adellandra nodded. "Dweller-kin Watcher and a Draconian. Firestorm must have felt something in her that needed release, and was the only Dweller-kin to do anything about it."
"Hmmm." She said, in deep thought. "You're right. He did." Adellandra closed her eyes and searched through the links to find her. It didn't take but a second, and because they were twins and had that bond already, she knew what her sister was doing. Adellandra opened her eyes. "Let's go remind my sita of who she is."
Draconis blinked and smiled, and O'Dell just nodded.
"Pleasant Journeys, Lord and Lady Guardian." O'Dell announced as they took flight.

II

“I don’t understand why you’re training us so hard, Wolf.” Adarra as the Grand Magus whined to her old Companion-Crusader friend Sire Wolfton Stargazer. She was practicing her sword-work with him. “I mean, isn’t the war over? Aren’t the Realms in peace? I don’t get it.”
“You never get it, Grand Magus.” Wolf supplied with a chuckle. “Now, Hak-tia!”
That word, she thought. It’s Wolf-Speak and means “attention.”
Adarra stood at attention, her blade meeting his in the middle of a sparring circle.
For the better part of an hour, they sparred with their swords.
In the middle of their fourth round of sparring, they sensed a large She-Wolf bounding up to them.
“Sulheya, Wolfton my old friend.” The She-Wolf called as she tackled him. He fell to the ground, sword flying out of his hand. She licked his face and nudged his nose in greeting.
Adarra grinned, holding in a laugh.
“It surely has been awhile, Lady Guardian.” Wolfton laughed, hugging her. “I know that She-Wolf form of yours anywhere.”
Adellandra stepped back and shifted to her Dragonwolf form before helping him up. He retrieved his blade and sheathed it.
"I think we are done for the day, do you not agree, Grand Magus?" Sire Wolfton asked her sister. "It was a good workout, I will give you that."
"Fine, I'm finished." She sheathed her blade and hugged her twin. "Well, sister, you've returned to us."
"Not only have I returned, but I'm on a mission." Adellandra told her what happened at the Palace.
Grand Magus looked at Lord Draconis. "I knew you looked familiar."
"Do you know who you are, m'Lady?" Draconis asked her.
She was in her Grand Magus-mortal form she liked to take as her title.
"I am the Grand Magus of the Realms." She told him, shrugging. "Who else would I be?"
"Well, for one, you are Lady Adellandra's duo-Sita, Adarramena." Draconis just grinned.
"Lady Adellandra?" Adarra was confused. "Duo-Sita? Huh?"
"I have heard stories from the Packs," Wolf started. "Matéré used to tell us about the Lost Ones, with Lady Adellandra being their own Matéré. Tell me, have they been found?"
Draconis nodded. "You are looking at Lady Adellandra, my wolf friend."
Wolfton looked at Adellandra. "Lady Guardian? Your mate? I hope you told the Protector about him."
"In fact, we just came from there." Adellandra supplied. "I not only told him, I showed him. The Protector is now at Monarch's Glen with the Countess Dracora, who just happens to be Draconis' younger sister."
"I see." Sire Wolfton replied then smiled. "My, have we changed since we last spoke?"
"You wouldn't believe how much." Adellandra told him. "Adarra, Wolfton, meet Lord Draconis Dratianos, Emperor of the Dragon Nations and now Lord Guardian of the Realms. Draconis, meet my close, personal friend Wolfton Stargazer, Sire of Stargazer Castle and the entire Canine Valley."
"Not to mention Companion-Crusader and Head of the Companion Armies." Wolfton reminded me.
"How could I forget?" The Lady grinned.
Wolfton laughed. "Well, I did save your butt more than once, my friend."
"You can call me Lady Adellandra." She told him. "For that is who I am, just as Adarra here is Lady Adarramena, my duo-Sita."
"Wait just a minute." Adarra supplied, folding her arms. "I don't believe a word of this."
"What do you not believe?" Draconis asked her, without emotion.
"This. That you're now the Lord Guardian of the Realms with my sister by your side."
"I'm afraid you are madly mistaken, Sita." Adellandra told her, deliberately using Ancient Wolf-Speak. Maybe if she used it enough, her sister would remember? "It is Draconis that stands by my side here as Lord Guardian. I stand by his as Empress of the Dragon Nations."
"Whatever," Adarra huffed.
Draconis frowned, then took her temples in his hands and stared directly in her eyes. Adellandra and Wolfton recognized what he was doing. He was sharing the same memories with Adarra that he shared with Adellandra; those that had to do with her and who she really was.
It took a moment for her to shake out of the daze she was in after he released her.
"Now, Adarramena, tell me if you have doubts to our words."
"Not anymore, Lord Draconis." Adarra's voice whispered. "You've filled in a lot of gaps in my mind. Thank you. I believe you now."
"I would hope so, because there is no lying in the mind." Adellandra told her. "Now then, shall we head back to the Mystic Palace?"
Adarramena nodded. "As curious as I am about the Dark Magic, Brattona, I do not like being plagued by it my very waking hours."
"On that, even I can agree." Draconis announced. "Was a pleasure meeting you, Sire Wolfton of Stargazer Castle and the Canine Valley.”
Wolfton blushed. "My Lord, you can call me Wolf. I am a Companion-Crusader and close friend of your Lady's."
"That's true, my love." Adellandra told him.
Draconis shook Wolfton's paw. "In that case, call me Draconis. Any friend of my Lady's is a friend of mine." He turned back to Adellandra and grasped her hand. He shifted to his own Dragon self. "Shall we, ladies?"
Adarra was awed, Adellandra just giggled.
"You can shift, too Adarra." She told her twin. "You don't have to get rid of your Grand Magus Robes but you can shift to your natural form."
"And what would that be?" Adarra asked.
"A Dragonwolf, like me." Adellandra told her. "After all, we are duo-sitas."
Adarra grinned, then shifted to Dragonwolf form. "You mean like this?"
Adellandra laughed, taking to the skies with Draconis.
"Hey you two, wait up!" They heard her cry as she tried to catch up with them.
"I do believe we have our Adarramena back." Adellandra told Draconis in her mind.
He looked back at her and nodded. "I cannot wait for her to reunite with her mate, my twin Drakkar."
"That is going to be interesting." Adellandra laughed.

All three descended to the ground, and Draconis shifted back to his smaller Dragonwolf form so he could fit through the Palace door. They walked in, and the ever-silent Dranus, who'd been following close-by the whole time, stayed outside the Palace and waited.
"You know, sister, that male is creepy." Adarra supplied.
"That male has a name, and it's Dranus." Adellandra told her. "He's Draconis' and my bodyguard."
"Bodyguard." Adarra wasn't convinced. "Right. Let's just get this over with, shall we?"
"Ayaeska," Adellandra mumbled, rolling her eyes.
"Enough, you two." Draconis grinned. "You're cackling like a couple of old hens."
"In case you have forgotten Lord Draconis, we are a couple of old hens." Adarra stuck her tongue out.
Adellandra laughed, patting her twin on the back. "Good to have you
