Chapter 442 God Of War
The following morning, Draven awoke to find Ember in a deep slumber. Gently, he adjusted the blanket to cover her naked body, noticing the marks adorning her delicate skin, stark against her fair complexion.
He couldn't deny he failed to hold back the previous night as it felt like an eternity since he got the taste of intimacy with his mate. Not being able to take him, she finally begged him to stop despite trying to keep up with him for long. He stopped at her plea and allowed her to rest. Deciding to leave Ember in the care of the servants, Draven returned to his own chamber. After dressing in fresh clothes following a soothing bath, a sudden sensation caught his attention. His expression turned serious as he realized something significant.
"Sire, your meal..." Erlos began, but Draven had already vanished from the chamber.
"Where did he go?" Erlos muttered, shaking his head. "I hope this time he doesn't bring someone else back, or Ember would roast him in her hellfire."
Draven reached the riverside in the dandelion field, where a woman stood. Her back to him, she gazed at the river, her long honey-blond hair flowing with the gentle breeze, giving her an almost divine appearance.
"Evanthe," Draven uttered, his expression one of surprise.
The woman turned to face him, her beautiful features framed by a gentle smile, her very presence exuding a comforting warmth.
"Draven," she greeted him. "I knew you would still sense my presence and come here."
For a moment, he seemed at a loss for words before finally asking, "How have you been?"
"Just as you see, as usual—beautiful and powerful," she replied with a playful tone. "And you, still the cold iceberg." Updated from novelbIn.(c)om
Draven silently acknowledged her words; being called a 'cold iceberg' by her was nothing new to him.
"Did you come here because of Morph?" he inquired, knowing that like him and a few others, Evanthe must have seen the dream that dictated the prophecy.
Evanthe's playful demeanor shifted to seriousness as she nodded. "He..."
"He is still with us," Draven informed her. "We need your help to heal him."
Evanthe managed a light smile, tears still lingering in her eyes. "As I am here, I will bring him back so I can continue to annoy him like before. He's not allowed to leave us until I've had my fill of troubling him."
Draven had heard this name before in his dream but was surprised to this woman calling with the same.
Evanthe approached Sierra. "Who is Raven?"
Sierra seemed to take a deep breath for composure and then said while pointing towards the red eyed man, "That's him, Draven Aramis, the God of war."
The revelation left both Evanthe and Draven in a state of shock, mirroring Sierra's earlier reaction.
"God of war?" Evanthe repeated, her voice laced with surprise.
Sierra nodded. "The one we thought had vanished into the realm of nothingness," she said, focusing on Draven. "I didn't expect to find you here. It explains why she is with you."
Confusion spread across Evanthe and Draven's faces.
"Who are you referring to?" Draven inquired.
Sierra responded, "I'm talking about you and the reincarnated one. Are you here in the human realm to protect her?"
Draven was skeptical. "I believe you're mistaken about me," he said. The idea of being a god, let alone the God of War, seemed preposterous. Why would a god be on Earth, striving for peace in the human realm for centuries?
"Don't you remember anything?" Sierra probed, noticing his disbelief.
"What am I supposed to remember?" he asked, a realization dawning on him that he truly didn't know his own history.
"That you are a god of war," Sierra stated. "And I'm not mistaken. I can sense your powers, even though they're weakened from how powerful you used to be."
Draven and Evanthe exchanged looks, at a loss for words.
"It seems we have more to discuss," Evanthe finally remarked, as an uneasy silence fell upon the group.
