Ducan's p.o.v I watched sadly as she wrapped her arms around her legs leaning against the wall with her gaze fixed to the floor. A few hours had gone by in silence but she was still sobbing and trying so hard not to make a sound. I wanted to ignore her but sadly I couldn't. My heart was aching over seeing her this sad and my hands were itching to touch her. I couldn't understand why I felt that way. What exactly was I to do if she didn't even want me close?. I stood up from the bed and moved closer to her. She quickly buried her face in her lap as her sobs got loud. I touched her head gently releasing my magic. "Sleep." I whispered softly as her sobs stopped and her breathing stabilized. I carefully moved and lifted her in my arms. Her face was wet and her eyes were slightly sore. I moved her to the bed and carefully put her down to rest while I sat at the edge next to her. "Serve me." I whispered as the twin fairies appeared. They were the only ones I summoned without a n
Eleanor's p.o.vI was woken up by loud movements that scared me. I blinked a few times as I quickly sat upright.Ducan sat in front of me with a smile.His hair was tied neatly in a half low bun and he wore a red expensive robe that was made out of silk and a beautiful flower design."Morning." He greeted me softly.I frowned then quickly looked around to see if the demon king was around. The last memory I had of him was when he approached me and touched my head."Eleanor." He called, getting my attention."You can't be in here Ducan, you can't." I said strongly.I was scared of what he would do to him, if he found him sitting next to me on the bed."Relax, the demon king has stepped out of the palace to handle a few private matters. Once a week he does that and it takes him approximately sixteen hours to return." He answered as I sighed in relief."What of the servants?" I asked seriously.Even though the demon king wasn't in the palace, his servants were. If they saw Ducan go in a
Zara's p.o.v "Son, try and eat something please. It took me a lot of hours to prepare this." My mother whispered softly. I glared at her coldly then stood up from the bed. She was to be blamed for everything that was upsetting me. If she didn't agree to give Eleanor to the demon king, she would have been here next to me. "How do you expect me to eat happily when my future concubine is obviously warming the bed of our enemy!" I exclaimed furiously. She moved closer and pressed her hand on my shoulder. "Son, there are a lot of women who want you in this village, even girls of your age would love to have you as a husband in future." She said as I furiously hit her hand. "I don't want girls and women. I want Eleanor." I said with emphasis. She frowned for a second before walking out of my bedroom without a word. My plans were ruined!. Everything was now going the wrong way. Right now I had no power or great connections with anybody because I wasn't a chief yet, although that did
Ducan's p.o.vAs we walked outside of the palace, Eleanor kept on looking around nervously. I could sense that she was scared of running into someone."I told you this before leaving the palace, no one can see past my invisible spell, only the demon king can." I said softly then held her hand in mine hoping she would relax and enjoy our walk to the place we were going to.She looked at our linked hands then at me seriously."Holding hands is a little too much Ducan." She whispered in a complaining voice."It will be fine, trust me." I whispered back softly.She swallowed hard then nodded as we continued to walk.My eyes were stuck on her every movement because I was mesmerized by her beauty. She looked too natural yet I couldn't shift my eyes from her.She wore one of my simple robes because she refused to put on something that was see through. Although the clothes were somehow baggy she still looked amazing. Her hair was tied into a messy bun and the slippers she wore were rather big
Ducan's p.o.v "Just look at the surroundings!. It is so magical and that fountain over there is captivating!" She exclaimed then grabbed my hand pointing at it. After breaking down in front of her, it took me some minutes to fully compose myself. When I pulled back and looked at her, she laughed softly then grabbed my hand and went with me outside. There she began showing me things I already knew and saw. She was acting very nervous and trying her best to cheer me up. "Eleanor." I called softly. "Just look at those beautiful trees." She exclaimed, ignoring me. "Eleanor." I called. This time a little louder. She stood still and faced me seriously. "You don't have to worry about me because I am fine." I said as her expression softened. She moved her hand and pressed it on my cheek with a sad smile. "Ducan, I know I might sound selfish or foolish but......, why don't you come with me to the human territory?" She asked softly, angering me. "What!" I exclaimed while I took a
Eleanor's p.o.vI slowly dragged myself forward with tears running down my cheeks. I understood he was angry with me for trying to rush him and forcing myself on him, but his words were just too cruel.I couldn't believe that he saw me as someone without morals or respect. His words were hurting my heart and they were still ringing in my mind.He was right, I was stupid and very crazy because each time I spent with him I didn't care what he was or what his past is. The only thing I cared about was our time together. I felt at peace and more happy around him than I had ever been in my entire life. What I felt for Victor could never even start to compare with what I felt for Ducan.I ignored the cold breeze and walked to the edge of the cliff standing there sadly."It wasn't my intention, you know." I whispered in anger then huffed loudly "Is it my fault that you are the first person to make me feel like this?" I screamed as tears ran down my cheeks."You touch me as you want and kis
Ducan's p.o.v We walked back to the palace hand in hand and in silence. It felt nice and peaceful just watching the horizon at the cliff. I finally understood why my mother loved that place. It also gave me closure to them despite them being dead. When Eleanor stopped walking, I too did. "What's the matter?" I asked calmly. "We are close to the entrance." She whispered softly. I looked ahead and noticed that she was right. We were a few seconds away from the entrance to the palace. I dropped my hand from hers with hesitation. Her warmth made me relax and forget where we were for a minute. "Go in." I said softly. She looked at me seriously then shocked me when she tiptoed and kissed the corner of my lips gently. She was about to pull back when I kissed her lips. She instantly wrapped her arms around my shoulders and kissed me back. My arm went around her waist pulling her closer as I thrust my tongue past her mouth, enjoying her low moans and response. "Ducan?" Ose called
Ducan's p.o.v As the generals left the throne room. Ose remained behind as ordered by me. Once they were all gone, he quickly moved closer with a concerned expression on his face. "Ducan, is there something you want to tell me?" He asked seriously. "Yes." I answered. "Okay, but I too want to ask you something. Was it the right decision to keep the female humans here?" He asked loudly. I understood his concern but what did he expect me to do?. Kill them all?. "What exactly did you have in mind?" I asked back. "I thought you were going to send them back to human territory." He answered. I smiled then raised my hand, gesturing to him to move closer which he did. "Sending them back would make me look like I'm weak. The priests would think I value the female humans a lot and they would be sending more of them every time until we fall." I said seriously. He kept quiet then sighed heavily. "You sure do have a point but then think about what they could do to our generals and warrio
Eleanor's p.o.v "No running in the passage!" I said loudly to my kids. They giggled and ran ahead completely ignoring me. "They sure are stubborn," Iris whispered. "Yes, they really are," I answered with a smile. My son who was the oldest (eight years old) looked very much like his father. He also had two forms, one a dragon and the other one human. He was mostly with his father because he loved magic and learning new things. My young daughter who was five years old was an angel. She was usually quiet, and she was very skilled in archery. At first, I was very concerned about that, but Iris assured me that most demons began training at a very young age. I felt confused because there was never a day she showed her demon form, so I had assumed she was only human but Iris was so sure she too had a demon form. According to her, her powers would show any year or day, so I paid no attention to that because the most important thing was that I loved them no matter what. "So my son is rea
(Ten years later) Clair's p.o.v "General," Charity called, snapping me out of my thoughts. "Yes," I answered calmly. "The queen has agreed to your request, and I was sent to report to you directly." She said in my office. "Thank you, captain, that's great news," I answered with a smile then looked at the future plans I had written in the scrolls on the desk. Life wasn't the same after ten years had gone by. Everything was different for us. When we decided to go back home, it wasn't because we missed our land. It was because we wanted to say goodbye to the ones we cared for and loved. Those were our siblings and parents. The other thing we wanted to do was to overthrow and kill the priests and elders that were against the demon kingdom and that's exactly what we did. The humans hated the demons and that was because of them. Every chance they had they poisoned our minds. As long as we would have stayed in the demon kingdom nothing would have changed, so we decided to go back. The
Oni's p.o.v "Me," Zara answered as I gasped loudly. Iris looked at him in disbelief. Her grasp on her staff tightened. "It was nice being a part of this beautiful kingdom. Its power, people, and everything were beyond what my mind imagined. You demon king you were kind enough to not kill us all, and I found love with one of the most powerful women in all territories. As much as I would love to stay, I can't. My parents aren't getting any younger and I never said goodbye to them, so they must be depressed over my disappearance. Also, I am the next chief in line because I'm their only male child. If I wasn't, I would have gladly stayed. Sadly I can't turn a blind eye to my people, not after all that I have learned." He said seriously. "In that case, come closer," Master said as Zara slowly did. Master raised his hand and pressed it on his head. I watched as Zara slowly began to revert to his previous young self. When he looked at his hands he quickly looked at Iris who lowered her
Oni's p.o.v We all stood looking at the burning bodies of the dead warriors quietly. It was so sad for us all to say goodbye because they were our friends. I held Charity's hand and glanced at her to see if she was okay. Since Ose's words that day, I was very considerate towards her. That day I rushed back to hug her and tell her how happy I was that she was alive, was the day we got closer. At first, she froze looking at me seriously before breaking down like a baby. I never knew simple words would mean so much. I moved and embraced her without a word. We didn't need to talk in that moment of bliss. Since then, we were acting like lovers, and it was because we both had this understanding between us, and we were very fond of each other. My only wish and hope were that we would soon fall in love with each other and be together for as long as we can. "All the warriors and generals report to me in the throne room at once." My master said loudly then disappeared with the queen from
Ose's p.o.v"You are safe now, you can all go back," I said happily to the elderly who were at the entrance of the maze.Luckily they were all safe and protected well.The grounds were clean from blood because of a spell Iris had cast and everything was back to normal.We had lost a few of our warriors and most of the creatures, which was sad.The ritual to help them (the dead) cross to the afterlife was going to be held by Ducan in the next two days, for now, we didn't want to disturb him. Iris, Oni, and I were overlooking everything and for hours we couldn't rest or see our lovers."Are you done with what you are doing?" Iris asked behind me.I turned and looked at her with a wide smile."Yes," I answered, then took a step closer."I still can't believe how easy it was for us to win the war," I said softly.She laughed then moved her hand to my shoulder."It was easy because we were united and had each other's back." She answered."Yeah, you are right. Are you done with what you wer
Eleanor's p.o.v"Stop it, that's dirty," I whispered in a labored breath.I was leaning against my elbows looking down on Ducan between my parted legs with sweat running down my forehead."What's dirty? You mean this?" He asked, then thrust his tongue into my wetness roughly.I threw my head back and screamed out his name in a voice that was unlike my own.What was this sensation I was feeling, it was new to me, yet it made me excited.His tongue was slightly painful, yet it was giving me so much pleasure. I wanted him to keep doing that, so he could satisfy this growing need I was feeling."My heart, you don't want me to stop do you?." He asked huskily.I bit my lower lip refusing to answer him. It was embarrassing to voice out my true thoughts.I was a virgin, yet I was acting like some indecent lady who had experience in doing this."What if he loses his interest in knowing that I did want him to continue?". That thought was making me uncomfortable.I sighed heavily, hearing the so
Eleanor's p.o.v The V formation was brilliant because the human warriors were trapped between the demon warriors, the generals, warriors, and creatures. I stood next to Iris watching everyone fight because I couldn't move. I wanted to help out in any way, but she couldn't let me. My feet were stuck to the ground by her binding spell and she looked relieved over that. Her defense was that she was only doing her job by keeping me safe. At first, I was furious with her and I kept on screaming at her for quite some time. But when she completely ignored me I gave up and decided to just stay put. I smiled when my gaze went to the female warriors who had formed a straight line fighting the male warriors seriously. Behind them were the generals covering their backs and making sure they were safe Ose was using his demon form, the gigantic python that was fast in striking down the human warriors with its tail. Each blow he made was fatal and deadly to them. I looked at Oni and noticed that
Hero's p.o.v I quickly got off the horse in shock looking at the lifeless, headless bodies on the ground. In front of me was a pool of blood of the village warriors. Richie stood with his hand wrapped around his waist like he was in pain. I angrily matched where he was and grabbed him by the neck. "Who did this!" I asked at the top of my voice. He coughed then dropped his sword and grabbed my hand removing it from his neck. "That stupid whore did this!" He answered furiously. This was the first time I was hearing him curse right in front of me. He was very angry that I could see. "Are you telling me that only one woman did all this to our warriors?" I asked in disbelief. "Yes sir. It is hard to believe, but it was a woman. Not only was she strong, but she also used dark magic." He reported. I tightened my grip on my sword and then patted his shoulder with my free hand. "I don't care how strong she is, I'm taking her down," I whispered then walked ahead leaving him in JD's ca
Iris's p.o.v I stood with Zara next to me right on the road that led to the palace, waiting for the human warriors to come into view. My job was simple, to protect the blessed maiden as my master had asked me to, but that didn't mean I couldn't destroy the first group of warriors. I felt stronger than I had ever been. My master was against the idea of me standing on the road because he didn't want anything harmful to come my way. I had to beg to finally have his approval. The creatures of the dark were outside the kingdom hiding in the trees and woods waiting to be summoned by me to attack the human warriors. What I first wanted was to have all the warriors come forth. After that, the creatures would go and stand at the entrance to take down any human warrior who would try to retreat from our kingdom. I closed my eyes feeling the vibration of the ground. They were approaching by horse, not foot, but the vibration wasn't strong which meant the warriors weren't all that. "Get read
