Bloody Eyes

"And what part about you inheriting the descendants of Suregon fits all this, Layton?" - Daniela's question sits on the other side of the sofa where the prince is also accommodated.
“Just like a woman, I can transform into a huge dragon with huge armored wings that look more like bat wings and burn an entire city in a matter of seconds with the fire I spew.” There was no amused in his voice even though his voice was audible. "Is this really normal?" Layton asked to see the suregon twins frowning.
Apparently the Crown Prince is still not used to being a Suregon. And he must have gone through all the transformations alone in a place far away from the castle. Regardless of the description that was supposed to make the sisters tear Layton's neck, they smiled at him as if they understood and nodded in agreement.
“And there is also the fact that as a magician capable of changing forms, his main form is a tiger. This already explains why the mark is the beast - Luana concludes when Zoey leaves a little.
Daniela gaped at him, turning to her uncle.
“You mean, you have visited the castle more often than I thought?” tanyakanya. "What do you do almost every day in the park near the castle's northeast tower?"
Layton laughed.
“The last time I was in this castle was during a silly dinner where the daughter of our beloved Gods silenced her father. You don't know how much fun I've had with it, actually.
"Liar," he murmured. “Before I thought it was some shifter guard who was on patrol because he always went into the forest and did not return until dusk. That's why I've never been close.
“I think you didn't notice when I said that Merleah also inherited our late mother's witch ancestor and her form was also a tiger.
- How can I be sure? The princess curled her well-groomed eyebrows.
A golden light enveloped Layton and the mist tiger reappeared, as big as the meeting point of Luana's mind with the prince. Daniela stiffened slightly as the large animal walked towards her, but her eyes softened as she noticed the size of the tiger and she began to judge its fur in awe. When the animal stopped at his feet, a golden light flashed again and there was Layton, grinning like a cat due to the admiration he saw in his nephew's eyes. A big wild cat.
“Males are usually larger than females as you can see,” her lips, her eyes glittering mischief.
Daniela rolled her eyeballs.
“Three guards?! - Daniela and Luana's questions in unison.
Zoey sighed, sitting next to Daniela in a disrespectful manner, as if such a huge burden of wisdom had knocked her unconscious.
— When the Moon Goddess was with me — the witch's gaze changed considerably, as if remembering that scene — she said that her daughter would have three guardians, three protectors. He also said that they would have rare powers and when they took the blood oath to Luana, the two would be marked. Like the tattoo that came up when Layton got it. His mark on him and his mark on him. Her third task is to protect her and guard her with their lives if necessary - Mahasiah starts to say something, but Zoey cuts her off first. “But not only those three bodyguards, there was also something the Goddess referred to as 'Shadows.' A woman who has the gift of controlling the world, any world if she wants to. People with this gift only appear once every millennium. And I went looking for this shadow all over the world. I couldn't find it for decades.
"And what gift is that?" - Mahasiah asked to sit on Zoey's empty side.
— Think with me: the world is a space. If this shadow power could control any world, it meant that it controlled something that the world possessed. The kind that only appears once in a millennium? At that time I understood that if I looked for it I would know the answer. It was a charade. Because "time" exists and flows in "space", the two are interrelated. Something the world has in common: time. Power once in a thousand years: time. This power only appears once per millennium because if the user spins the flow of time the wrong way, the world could warp. Do you understand?
"So you're saying The Shadow is Daniela?" Melael whispers.
— Shadow is the card on Luana's arm, because that's what Owen least expected. Enemy daughter of the Gods,” Zoey concludes.
The Queen and Daniela were transfixed, the second even slightly gaping as they stared at each other unblinkingly. Layton put himself behind the armchair that Luana was in, without even realizing that it was a defensive and protective position at the same time.
"And besides me, who are the other two guardians?" the prince's question arch his eyebrows.
"The other two, you mean," correct Zoey and Layton blinked in surprise. “Even I don't know who they are, but now I know what rare power the Goddess is. I wouldn't say rare, but extinct. Suregon that went extinct in wars centuries ago is rare - he thought. "And I don't think there's a coincidence of three Suregon in our midst, do we?"
“Two of us..” Mahasiah stopped, his eyes widened in surprise.
“That's a possibility,” Zoey observes. "We'll only know by blood oath, and I don't think Luana has the time or energy for that." In addition, there are still cases of werewolves...
“Yes,” said Daniela, out of her glass state, information from Shadow that she will digest later, “if Layton does not mind, I have a plan.
