Twilight of a Hybrid, стр. 83

VILE BETRAYAL

A great flame had flared greatly in Valverno’s hybrid eyes. The anger that was swelling in him went from a small glare to an extreme dose of intensifying heating. His legs and his wings could feel his body heat boiling with extreme hatred and anger that he was ready to unleash of a fury of fire across the capital city: a place where a million of people live.

His eyes caught the appearance of the woman he knew to be the one who experimented on him and the woman he had called mother: Belverda. He hasn’t seen the woman all his life and now he was looking at her, in the flesh. The human partner of the dragon Ralenskrit was standing right in front of Valverno and the people standing in the throne room of King Uragiru.

The woman he thought was his mother, the woman who experimented on dead animal body parts and brought unnatural, undead creatures to life was a sight he always wanted to see for seventeen years, but he could not bear to see the woman he once called mother. After Valverno learned he was the legendary Demigod that lived over ten thousand years ago and this woman (or this witch) and her dragon friend were the ones who brought him back via experimentation, he wants nothing more than kill her right there right now.

For the moment, Valverno holding back his anger he was ready to unleash it against Belverda.

However, Valverno was softly growling, which was meaning he was ready to dive in and kill her without a moment’s hesitation. He would fly to her, strike her down, and let his frustration be killed when he would kill Belverda.

Marina could see the anger swelling in Valverno’s eyes; she saw the skin around his eyes grew some kind of big veins. She seemed afraid the hybrid she fell in love with is consumed by a demonic spirit residing in his body.

Belverda stood with grace. Many surprised eyes watched her reveal herself from her hiding place. “My, my. Quite a crowd I have suddenly drawn.” She slowly walked away from her hiding place and slipped to the king’s throne.

Geraldus was in complete shook when he saw his oldest friend standing in front of him. He hasn’t seen her in seventeen years and all of a sudden she comes from out of nowhere in the blink of an eye. The middle-aged man couldn’t find a word of what to say after not seeing her for such a long time.

From his eyes, Geraldus saw Belverda didn’t age a single day. Her facial image hadn’t changed or aged in the rancid of time. He was told by Valverno that Belverda was a witch who knew how to stay young, and was a sister to four other witches; witches Valverno and Marina killed back in the Northern Region. And of all places, Geraldus had never expected to see his old friend in the capital city, yet along in the throne room.

“Geraldus, you haven’t aged a day,” said Belverda. “Although you grew some grey hairs on your head.”

“I could say the same to you, Belverda,” said Geraldus. “Seventeen years it has been. You still look the same as ever.”

Belverda smiled and looked at Valverno; his eyes were glaring with hatred and anger, but she didn’t seem to mind at his evil, demonic appearance.

“And you have grown a lot the last time I saw you.”

Suddenly, without any moment to think or putting any thought in a proper greeting, Valverno latched out so suddenly.

“Wait!” Geraldus shouted for Valverno to stop, but the hybrid had already made up his mind. By the time Geraldus tried to halt Valverno, Valverno charged down the hall, and used his arm to push Belverda against a wall.

Valverno used his left arm to hold Belverda against the wall, nailing her by the throat of the massive force of his arm.

“What are you doing?” shouted the king.

“Brother, don’t give into the anger you’re being consumed by right now,” said Sora.

“Have you people just forgotten?” shouted Valverno. He voice echoed in the entire hall if it was a cold, dark mine. “This is woman tried to play the role of a god. She experimented on many dead animals that needed to stay dead. She is the one who created many ‘failed experiments.’ She was the one who experimented on me when I was an embryo. She used me as a lab rat. Why shouldn’t I kill her right here right now after the many years I thought her to be my mother?”

Belverda shrugged against Valverno’s arm, as if she wasn’t breathing. She could feel the force of Valverno’s might choking against her neck.

“For seventeen long years, I thought I was left behind. For seventeen years, I thought I my mother left me behind as she didn’t want a son. I wanted to see you my entire life. My life I had no mother to live under and you have left me on the doorstep of a stranger’s house. And you were afraid of what I was or who I was, of what I would be able to find out what and who I really am.

“And now the truth has been revealed: I am Valverno, demigod of the Second Generation of the Living Life and you are never were my mother, witch. From your perspective, I was known as ‘Vaeludar.’ A science project you had dubbed a ‘Project Failure.” Me! A failure!

“You had created many undead animals and used my DNA to
