Chapter 22
Darkous woke in a cold sweat, the claws of the demon tearing into his canopy bed. The psychopathic lord snarled the recurring dream of his past lingering in his thoughts. That night was forever locked within Darkous’ mind, torturing both him and the demon. He slowly rose to a seated position, snapping the demon back into the far reaches of his mind. The psychopathic lord thought once more of the pup, regretting the moment he gave her the opportunity to run. Darkous had a momentary lapse of judgement believing that she wouldn’t run, but; he would be damn sure not to let it happen again.
The psychopathic lord rose from what was left of his bed, giving out a deep sigh. He would need to order yet more bedding, perhaps even a new bed as he looked down at the shredded wood. He had been experiencing the recurring dream for years, the nightmare of what happened following him through the centuries. How could he have been so weak and powerless to stop his father? Why did he

Dorian growled, pushing Michael’s hand from his shoulder as he rose from the animalistic crouch, continuing to glare at the princess. “This show of power needs to stop; she’s having too much time to escape.”Elika began to walk backwards, both her and the hissing wind forcing the hurricane forward when a creature approached; flinging them away from her. She watched as the feral man snarled; his demonic yellow eyes eradiating with rage. Her breath caught slightly as the winds jittered, realising that her time was almost up. The princess turned suddenly, bolting between two large birch trees. She heard the pounding of feet and hooves behind her, causing her to push harder on her already strained legs. Dorian and Michael shouted for her to stop, warning her that the consequences would worsen if she did not surrender to them. She shook her head in amusement, knowing that they were lying; attempting to trick her into stopping. She launched herself to the si

Elika would be unable to stop Dorian from taking her back to the dark lord without the aid of her connection, her connection weakened from strenuous use. What if she ran? Bolted deep into the woods and hid ... Would she make it? Manage to escape again now that her body shook and trembled, her legs barely able to hold her weight as she leaned against the towering oak tree. She sighed, knowing that she had lost. There would be no escaping the clutches of the three men as they surrounded her, scowling down at the princess.Dorian smiled, gently placing his hands on her shoulders as he began to speak. “You have been caught. Isn’t that a shame ...” His grip tightening as his smile increased, his demonic yellow eyes locked onto the princess. His elongated nails savagely dug into her shoulders, causing Elika to whimper in pain as she squeezed her eyes shut. “I’m sure my old friend has something in mind for you, no doubt it’ll be an old trick of mi

Elika tightened her arms around her legs as the car turned onto a gravel driveway, slowly coming to a halt outside the front doors of the dark lord’s mansion. She took a gasping breath as Darkous stood beside the car, glaring in at her.“So, you have returned. Enjoy your little run?” The dark lord questioned, before turning his attention towards Goodwin as he exited the car. “Thank you Corporal, you will be paid well for this.”Goodwin nodded, a small smile appearing on his face as he spoke. “Thank you Lieutenant Major.”The princess watched the exchange, turning her head towards Michael as he also exited the red ford. She closed her eyes briefly, attempting to calm her racing heart. Her fear increased as she remained in the car, the stranger taking the keys with him when he got out.“Good. Are you just going to leave her in the car?” The dark lord questioned, his tone almost commanding.“

Elika’s eyes flickered as she forced her mind away from the pain, wheezing slightly.Michael walked towards them his tone soft and welcoming; though it wasn’t towards the princess. “I also have to tell you that the girl has showed more potential, she has a strange ability to control the wind it seems.”Darkous smiled, turning towards the princess as she cowered; fearful of the next blows. “Tell me about this power princess.”Elika continued to wheeze, her voice barley audible. “I don’t have the power to control the wind. It was just that the wind was trying to help me escape.”The dark lord tilted his head to the side, “What do you mean girl? I have never heard of such a thing.”The princess sighed heavily, wincing as a deep and searing pain shot through her chest. How could she explain it to them without revealing her power?“If you do not tell me within the next three

Meanwhile down in the basement...Elika had fallen asleep with her head on her knees, the tears that had fallen from her eyes as she thought of her mother and brother’s death still lingering on her cheeks. She stirred slightly, stretching as she woke, every muscle in her petite form aching. She shouldn’t have fallen asleep in the corner of the room behind the boxes, but she was too terrified to move; the voices that came from the living room drifting down towards her ears. She sighed softly, her small hiding place concealing her from the basement steps, the light having gone out hours before. What was she going to do now Darkous knew of her ability? What could she do other than obey him? Her mind swelling with the realisation that she would never be anything but a prisoner, her life forever in someone else’s hands.The princess froze suddenly, fear rising in her chest as the sound of someone approaching echoed down the basements steps; her pulse incre
A God’s Tale Chapter 28
Elika once again bit her bottom lip, attempting to find something to say; or ask. She spoke with hesitation, fearful of how the feral immortal would react when she voiced her questions. “Erm ... How did you and Darkous meet?” “Well that story, little girl; is one I will never forget. I was stranded on an uncharted dimension, living off animals; as well as living with the dirty fools. I had been living there for centuries. All of a sudden, I heard a loud bang; causing the whole pack to scatter. I didn’t know what to do, so I just stood there.” He paused, the memory of how they met still fresh in his mind. The princess slowly slid down the wall, crossing her legs beneath her as she listened to Dorian tell the story of how he met the dark lord. “That was when Darkous appeared. He gave me food. But then a large army began invading the dimension, saying that they wished to purify the lands. Darkous and I fought them all off, ripping each one to shreds. He is my best and only frie

Elika pulled her power back, her sudden ability fading as quickly as it had appeared.“What the fuck were you thinking? What happened?” The dark lord questioned, his tone filled with confusion and slight concern.“I ...” The princess stammered, attempting to understand what she had done as her eyes shifted between the three men.“What were you trying to accomplish?” Michael asked, grasping her wrist as he checked her vitals.Elika forced a small smile, turning towards the feral man as he stared down at her in confusion. She took a long breath, wincing as the pain continued to shoot through her chest. “Your mother and little sister miss you...”“How do you know?” The animal-like immortal queried, his demonic yellow eyes coated in curiosity as it mixed with the confusion.“Because ... Because I was in her mind...” She muttered, briefly closing her eyes as she attempted to
