"Your Highness, we need to talk!" Bagdana crossed Alex as he made to enter the palace. His face looked worrisome."What is it about?"He asked but realized Bagdana was keeping quiet because of his men still standing behind. He waved at them to dismiss and they all went back to their posts."Shoot.""There is every tendency that Sathanas is looking for the book first."Alex climbed the steps and pulled the other man by the shoulder to the empty guest room, closing the door behind him."What do you mean?""What I'm saying is this. Sathanas needs to destroy the Orb to avoid or prevent any obstruction such as you, me or Lilith. But before he can do this, he has to know the element of the Orb, and trust me when I say that everything is in that book." Bagdana explained to him.If the book contained such vital information, he would have taken good care of it and ensured it never leaves his sight. Unfortunately, he seems to have forgotten its worth and he could the same. Forget about the darn
Krepe snapped his eyes open, for the fifth time according to Asmodeus' instruction. He was laying on an iron table with a narrow tunnel like hole where hot smoke was emerging from. It was burning his back and he looked like one who just got out of a bath. He was soaked in sweat from head to toe and he was wearing nothing but a small towel wrapped around his waist. His eyes were as red as blood and he kept gritting his teeth in the small room where Asmodeus kept chanting some words.Asmodeus was wearing a long black cloak with black gloves, her hair packed in a black hat. Her face was covered in black makeup. Black eyeliner, black lip gloss, and she even dyed her hair."Skorios! Beasta nami'an seriosa kelith a krahgh. Tellimenta kathri grugriensos guthrie sos manio pellebrato, alolan akolab bingisosa. Oh ye spirit of power. Oh ye spirit of might. Oh ye spirit of strength. Behold your host and make it your abode. Take him in as your own and forsake him not. Thou doth hold a lot captive.
Selena unmounted her horse and walked towards the palace with a heavy heart full of rage and pain. She knew in her heart now that she had been deceiving herself. If she was to think of it, Alex has never really confessed that he loves her. He has never professed his love with passion for her. Maybe she should have been worried about that and not gone about seeking his validation.Is that all everything she has done had been about? To seek his approval? She hoped not. And she didn't think so. Deep within her, she knows she cannot get mad at him for long.As she climbed the steps and went on to the huge building supported by pillars, she heard hushed voices just by the left. Who are those in the guest room? Could it be her Father? Why will he be there? Not like he is coming to spend some days with them. She walked up to the door after dismissing her maids."You may all go." She told them and they all dispersed. Opening the
Selena looked for the nearest furniture which is the chair and sat on it, legs wobbling. She had just heard the most unbelievable story of her life. As she looked up at Bagdana with tears in her eyes, she felt like tearing apart the two men."This is by far the best fairytale I've ever heard." She muttered softly, hoping it was as she said, a fairytale."It's not a fairytale, Queen Selena." Bagdana replied."Alex is Alichino.""That explains...""Yeah, the day I came here. I called him that." Bagdana smiled.So, Alex was the Devil and she never knew about it. She had been married to the actual Devil but she never knew. But then he knew it himself. She looked up at Alex and could see how guilty he looked."So, it's true?" She asked, voice breaking."Selena?" Alex began to talk."I was created for you by Fate? As in Fate fate?" Her eyes were burning just like her chest. She felt hurt that everything was just becoming clear to her. So, she was the reason why Craig had died. They killed h
The sun shone high in the sky above the clouds when Krepe stepped outside. It was almost noon when he and Asmodeus prepared to go out to meet Cadmus. This is the second day since he woke up in another soul and another destiny. He had planned earlier to first see the King just as Asmodeus had advised.Krepe and Asmodeus were now heading for the palace to meet with the King of Hyenas. He was feeling impatient with each steps he carried. What was he not doing? Why is Alichino still alive? Krepe got to the front of the palace gate and flung it wide open, ignoring the guards trying to stop him."We've got no time to waste," he was saying. "Alichino must be stopped. But to do this we have to be careful enough to study him or we will be doing things the wrong way."They turned and walked into the lengthy hallway before them, confident and ready for war. He felt content that he can finally be outside the walls of wherever he transports to in a human body, giving him the opportunity to strike
The room was as quiet as a graveyard, with Alex looking outside the window and Bagdana standing behind him, silent. How many times had he wished he never met this man? A million times today.In fact, too many to count."This is your fault, you know.""My fault? I couldn't hold it all in and then get blamed in the future for causing damages worse than this. You can't push the blame on me.""Your words sent her over the edge. I'm afraid I'll lose her.""You told me you wanted to protect her! If you really do, then letting her know about this soon is safer. At least, she knows she should be on the lookout for danger. You know how this works, don't you?"Alex snorted, went over to the mini-bar from across the room, grabbed a bottle of wine, and began to pour it into a small glass cup. He downed the drink and banged it on the wooden furniture. "You know it's hard to comprehend." 
Alex moved into his large palace room, his robe flowing behind him. Two guards on each side of the room bowed as he walked towards his throne and sat, placing a folded knuckle on his jaw and replaying the incident in his head for the hundredth time."I need you to call me Rebal." He gestured towards one of the guards. "Ask her to see me here, now.""Okay, your highness "The armoured guard moved away and he exhaled, expecting his loyal soldier to show up. Instead, Drake walked in and for a second he had forgotten he was around."Couples problems?" He asked, tapping his staff on the floor as he walked towards one of the chairs on each side of the throne to sit on it."Yes. It's..." He couldn't say he had upset Selena as he would have to explain how. "...about me bringing Cher back to Forester.""I thought you all resolved that during dinner when I came here.""She is
At 9:00 pm, Selena was standing in front of her Father's mansion, coming down from the cab she took earlier after deciding to leave the palace, for a brief moment of being alone. Staff from the house saw her from afar and ran towards her, collecting the small bag which contained a few dresses, from her."Queen Selena! Welcome home." The petite grey-haired woman greeted her with all smiles and she was sure she missed her."Thank you, Izzy.""You must be very tired.""Not much. Just a little."They entered the house and a wash of familiar warmth engulfed her. The walls were still as she had left them; grey and boring. The hallway was lined with fluorescent bulbs and when she got to the living room, the golden chandelier that poured down orange light still hung from the roof. The sofas had brown leather surfaces and a white and black, four-by-four, three feet table stood in the midd
