Chapter 435 The Twin’s Power (2)

I can see Regaleon running towards me with a mix of shocked and worried expression. Who would not be, seeing that a swarm of these creatures are all running in one direction and that direction is towards me.

It was as if the voice that is carried in the air hypnotizing these creatures. They are dead set on me and they are not even giving kind to Tempest and Snow attacking them.

Tempest and Snow are doing their best to lessen the numbers of these creatures, but as if unfazed with the fall of their brethren they are still charging my way.

"What the hell is up with these guys!" Snow said. I can feel the irritation in her voice. "We attack and kill them, but more are keeping on coming."

"Just focus on keeping her majesty safe." Tempest said while raining fire from the sky.

"I am doing my best here." Snow shouted.

"Reinforcements are coming!" I shouted.

Not long, Regaleon and the ones with him were fighting their way towards us. These creatures are encircling the position from where I am standing.

'Better me than my children.' Is what I thought. But my own predicament was not something to be happy about.

These creatures with their menacing appearance are all here to get me. I would be lying if I say that I am not afraid, but to keepy children safe I would be willing to be the bait anytime.

"Alicia!" Regaleon's voice is getting near, but I cannot see the exact location because of the swarm of creatures that we are defending from. "We are coming!"

"Regaleon!" I shouted so that he would know my exact location.

*ROAR*

I can hear loud roaring than before. I can see these creatures being thrown to the air as if they were rocks being parted.

"GET OUR OF THE WAY YOU WARGS!" Belgor's voice roared out loudly that it shakened the core of these creatures.

A path was cleared from the swarm of these creatures with Belgor leading the way. I can see Regaleon's blazing fire in their wake.

Not long, Regaleon and Belgor's warriors got to where we are.

"My love..." Regaleon ran to my side in a heart beat. "Are you alright?" He asked with concern.

"Yes, my love." I replied, feeling relief now that he was beside me. "I am fine. The children, they are inside."

Regaleon saw the fire wall that was guarding the place where the twins were. A small smile crept on his face.

"It looks like our children are growing up faster than I expected." Regaleon said.

"We need to go to them Leon." I said with urgency.

"Yes, and we will do just that." Regaleon replied. "Belgor, can you handle the situation here? I will make another fire wall behind us to secure our children. I will leave Snow and Tempest here to aid you."

"Sure thing Regaleon." Belgor said with confidence. "Leave these wargs to us. We will wipe them all out!"

"Thank you." Regaleon replied. "Come Lili. Let us go to our children."

"Hmm..." I nodded in agreement.

As Regaleon had said, he made another fire wall just behind us to defend us from attacks from behind. He made the fire wall encircle the fire wall that was defending the cottage where the twins are.

Regaleon held my hand and we ran towards the direction where our twins were. When we are getting near, the fire wall defending the cottage was getting smaller and smaller until it was extinguished entirely.

"They know we are coming." Regaleon had his smile from ear to ear. I can see how proud he is as a father seeing such talent from our little ones this early.

"I wonder where they got that taleny from." I cannot help but feel what Regaleon was feeling. I can feel the joy of being the parents of our talented little ones.

"They are our children, so they got it from the both of us." Regaleon replied with a sweet smile.

"Your majesties!" I heard Tricia's voice coming from the cottage. Not long I saw her carrying Alphonse in her arms while another maid was carrying Aerith.

"Stay there Tricia!" Regaleon shouted. "We will come to you. It is still not safe."

Tricia stopped in her tracks and nodded. I can see streaks of tears coming down from Tricia's eyes. Poor Tricia, she must have been very terrified with the attacks just a while ago.

Regaleon and I were running towards them and saw Alphonse and Aerith were calm. When the two of them saw me and Regaleon coming, they beamed with delight and started to wiggle and come to us.

"My babies..." I cannot wait to put hug them in my arms.

But when we were nearing, a flash of light suddenly passed my vision. It came at a lightning speed and I was caught by surprise.

When I looked down my chest, I can see my dress started to have a stain of blood. I cannot believe my eyes that I stopped suddenly stopped my tracks and touched the fabric that was stained. Blood smeared the palm of my hands.

"B-Blood..." I was quited shocked that I cannot feel my feet under me.

My body collapsed in an instant and I can see Regaleon was in shock as well.

"Alicia! Alicia!" Regaleon shouted. "Stay with me. Stay with me!"

I can hear his voice but it felt that it was distant. I can feel something warm on my chest in an instsnt. It was calming and numbing the pain I was feeling just a while ago.

I looked at the direction of my children and saw them crying and wailing. They were trying to get free from the ones who are holding them. This was the first time I saw them cry in agony.

'Do not cry my little ones.' I want to tell them but my voice is not coming out.

The cries of my children are fading in the distance. The noise of the battle around me is fading as well and darkness had taken over me.

(Regaleon's POV)

"Stay with me Lili!" I was using my white magic to heal the wound that was in Alicia's chest. "Don't you dare leave us!" I said with conviction.

My white magic is closing the wound nicely. Fortunately I was quick to heal Alicia's wounds. If I was even a second to late, I csnnot imagine what might have happened.

"Do not worry my love, I will not let you die." I said.

I can hear my children crying behind me. In their year of existence, this was the first time I heard them wail like that. I am sure they can feel what had happened to their mother was bad.

While I was healing Alicia, I can feel a killing intent directef my way. Maybe it was the same person that did this to my wife.

"Sh*t!" I cursed out loud knowing that I am currently vulnerable while healing Alicia.

I can then see a flash of light headed directly towards me. At first I was caught by surprise when it hit Alicia, but now I can see that it was an arrow made by magic.

I was contemplating on standing my ground and try to dodge the arrow or at least hit my less vulnerable spot or carry Alicia and run for it. Seeing thay Alicia's wound has not yet been fully closed, I chose the former and stood my ground waiting for the right moment to dodge.

"Your majesty!" I heard William's voice at the opportune moment.

William deflected the arrow conjured by magic with his sword.

"Your majesty, are you all right?" William asked when he got near.

"Can you defend me from the attacker while I heal Alicia?" I asked.

"Of course, your majesty." William replied in a heart beat. "It is my duty to protect you with my life."

William took a defensive stance right in front of us where the arrow had come from. I then got back to focusing on healing my wife when I felt a surge of magic power behind me. When took a glance behind, I saw my twins were holding each other's hands. I can feel their magic surging higher and higher until a white light bursted out from them. This light traveled around the vicinity like a huge wave.

I felt a calming effect when the white light went through me. After that I realized the noise from the battle just stopped. The fire wall I conjured was extinguished and I saw the lycans were standing in confusion. On the ground were piles of ashes as if something was burned to a crisp.

"What just happened?" I asked.

"It looks like the battle is over." William replief with the same confused expression I had. "I believe the little ones were the ones that did it."

I looked around and saw my twins trying to get free from the arms that were holding them.

"Let them come here." I ordered.

Tricia and the maid carried the twins and safely put them beside me.

"Mama..." The twins looked quite concerned about their mother.

"Do not worry, I will not let any harm come to your mother." I told them.

I continued to pour white magic towards Alicia's wound. The twins saw what I was doing and held my hands that were healing their mother. I can feel my white magic quickly amplify in strength. Then and there I knew that the twins do not only amplify each other's magic powers but also others as well with both their touch. In no time, Alicia's wound was healed.
