Zack and his companions, slowly made their way to the palace, at the center of the Dark City .
The people were excited to see their King return, and just like his earlier return ,the people could feel the power and presence of the king had increased, the king was growing stronger, and that gave the people of the dark city confidence, there believe and trust in the King was growing , people had a renewed faith of the King, and their belief that the King would once again rule the lands of night ,and the dark legion would raise to their rightful place once more, at the side of the vampire king.
Once again celebrations, would go on for a few days throughout the dark city.
Zack and his companions, made it through to the palace, a walk that would normally take them a hour ,had taken them three hours ,with the people celebrating and all wishing to chatch a glimpse of their king .
Zack reached the throne room in the palace of the dark city, and collapsed on to the throne he was tired, all he had wanted to do was see how Louise was, and now finally he had reached the throne room, and Louise and Nyla, had just entered the throne room ,and were both there to welcome them all back to the Dark city.
Zack Sat up straight and smiled ,as he saw Louise and Nyla enter the room.
Zack's heart skipped a beat ,when he looked at Louise ,she was breathtaking in her appearance ,she was wearing a black fitted dress with blood red roses, embroidered around the neckline and hemline,a golden belt with a red ruby in the center ,and black high heels ,all of which showed off her figure and toned body .
Zack noticed that Ninx was fixated on Nyla, and his smile grew even bigger, he was happy that his friend had found someone he wished to spend his time with, Zack could tell that Nyla had feelings for Ninx .
The two women now stood before the throne, and both Women curtsied before the King ,and said" welcome back your majesty ."
Zack was taken back, he felt flattered and respected ,but at the same time it did not feel right ,for his friends to have to use protocol ,especially when they were alone .
" Please don't call me king when we are alone ,we are all friends you are my most trusted companions, remember you are my council my inner circle ,so please just treat me as you have always done .
To you I am Zack your friend, not just the King "said Zack.
Louise was smiling at Zack ,she felt relieved knowing that Zack the king, the man she had developed deep feelings for, considered her a trusted member of his inner circle, and because of this she had made her decision, she would be honest with Zack and reveal her true feelings she held for him.
She would tell him how she felt ,and she would accept what ever fate decided to give her .
" let's move to the library ,where we can relax and talk ,about everything that has happened here ,and what we have experienced while we have been away "said Zack.
The group moved to the library and a relaxed atmosphere could be felt by all.
Ninx summoned some servants to bring food and drink.
Zack introduced the Louise an Nyla to the oracle, and soon stories were being shared, the group ate and drank and talked late into the night, and as the night progressed Nyla and Ninx had been getting closer to each other, and Louise and Zack were so relaxed after drinking wine infused with Dragon blood, Louise was sitting on Zack's lap looking at a book together, and laughing. Zack was listening as Louise was reading him the stories from the book .
The oracle looked at the seen before her, and her eyes went white as she looked into the future, the oracle could see Zack in his armor ,his black hair blown in the wind, blood dripping from his sword and armor, a wicked smile on his face, and the crown on his head, and by his side in matching blood armor was Louise, also with a crown on her head, and a smile equally as beautiful and wicked as her husband's, the oracle saw that Zack would make Louise his wife, she would be queen, and Zack would recover his crown and all his powers.
She had foreseen a great battle, between Zack and the shadow king .
The eyes of the oracle returned to normal, and she took her leave from the company, saying that she was tired and it was very late, and she had to arrange with Dain about relocating her people, to the dark city .
Nyla wasted no time and dragged Ninx away, saying that it was also time for them to retire for the night, and suddenly Zack and Louise were alone in the library .
Zack went to talk and was silenced, by a look on Louise's face ,he had not seen before, she looked at him intently, and at the same time she looked timid and apprehensive.
" Zack I know that you are my king, and I know you consider me a friend, and I consider you my friend, but I have feelings for you.
I think I'm in love with you, at first I thought I was enamored by your beauty, and the fact that you are the one who turned me, as well as being the king, but after awhile I realized that my feelings were real, I don't expect you to feel the same as I do ,and I will accept what ever you decide, I just needed to tell you the truth, I hope you understand and don't hate me or anything said Louise.
Zack laughed he couldn't help it he was so happy to hear that Louise was in love with him ,Louise looked at Zack with a worried expression and Zack seeing the look upon her face stopped laughing and smiled at her and she instantly relaxed.
" Louise please don't misunderstand me, I was laughing because I'm happy, I love you too .
I have wanted to tell you my feelings for so long ,but I thought that you would not want my advances "said Zack .
As he kissed her gently on her lips ,she embraced him and kissed him back, with all the passion in her body and soul .
Zack made love to Louise over and over, and they drank each other's blood ,the two were lost in their passion and love ,until eventually they had used up all the energy ,and fell asleep in each other's arms, they woke late in the day, Zack looked at Louise and smiled , she smiled back at him with a joyful expression .
Zack got down on one knee and took hold of Louise's hand .
" Will you marry me Louise and become my wife and queen," said Zack in an emotional voice.
" Yes Zack I will marry you, nothing would make me happier than to be your wife and queen "said Louise .
Zack called for his friends, and informed them that he and Louise were to be married as soon as possible ,the announcement was made throughout the Dark city, and the celebrations would continue.
The wedding ceremony would take place in the palace in five days, and the entire event would be televised throughout the Dark city .
