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

    Ose's p.o.v "It's not that you can't stand humans, it's just that you are stuck on wishing for someone that can never be yours." Those words were ringing in my head until now and they made me furious. My heart was aching badly and my form wasn't human any more. "Ose." Oni greeted me with respect. I ignored him and went to the main dungeon cell, looking at the women who all sat down in silence. Their feet and arms were chained to the chains that were linked to the walls, limiting their body movements. I could tell that they were strong and strictly trained. All weak humans would have been scared and in tears, not quiet and collected. "Dark fairies, I call on you." I said calmly as a few appeared next to me. All dark fairies had no specific gender and they were referred to by rank / name or the word it. They took any shape or form of anything they liked. So while others looked like male demons, some looked like female demons. A lot of them served those of high rank because they

    Clair's p.o.v I was in so much pain as I kept my voice in. My body was trembling badly and it was covered in sweat. I couldn't hear my friends' words clearly but I could tell that they were panicking. I was grabbed by a hand roughly and forced to stand up. I looked at the snake man in front of me then stumbled. Before I could fall, he quickly held my waist lifting me up on his shoulders ( caveman style ). I wanted to hit him badly and yell at him to drop me, but I had no strength left in me. All I could do was stay still as he walked out of the dungeon. I closed my eyes when I felt dizzy and tried to normalize my breathing. My throat felt like it was closing up and it was getting hard for me to breathe. I was thrown on the bed roughly in a second as the pain Intensified. I wanted to sit upright but he pushed me down. "Stay still." He ordered when he leaned in. I was about to refuse when he bit down my neck. The sharp stabbing pain that pierced my heart made me tear up. I k

    Ose's p.o.v "Ose." The ancient witch called for my attention. She sat on the ground with her legs crossed and in a drawn circle while drawing some symbols. "Yes, ancient one." I answered softly. "Is there something troubling you?" She asked. "No." I denied then focused on what she was doing. I was more than troubled because of the female warrior's words. The way she acted was unlike any other being I had been with. What shocked me the most, was how she admitted to liking my demon form. She was definitely trying to get me to lower my guard because I knew humans hated snakes. All those years I spent watching Eleanor, I understood that snakes were either killed or treated badly by humans. Some humans even ran away from them thinking they are all evil or deadly. "Ancient one, pardon my question but, was there any human being who had ever liked a demon besides Ducan's late mother?" I asked curiously. She stopped drawing some symbols on a few cloths that had the female warriors'

    Zara's p.o.vI was moving back and forth in the holy temple furiously.How dare my father treat me like a damn kid!.The whole way he was trying to get me to sing lame children songs in the carriage and he was laughing all alone like a mad man.Once he got to the capital, we went to the temple where he forced me to wait for him while he went to meet the high priest in his office.For half an hour I was standing alone like a stupid statue!."No, I don't have to listen to his words." I whispered to myself then matched out of the temple.The temple was very big and the wall fence that surrounded it was even bigger. Taking a walk to pass time was a good idea and that's exactly what I was going to do.I moved and slowly walked to the back while looking around.When I heard some voices ahead, I quickly rushed there.There was a door in the wall and it was slightly open.I knew crossing it would put me in trouble, but I just wanted to see what was going on there. I was so curious to know.I

    Eleanor's p.o.vI turned calmly and opened my eyes with a smile across my face. I felt well rested and at peace.I looked at the door ahead, then frowned deeply when I remembered how Ducan was still in my room last night.I quickly sat upright and turned only to meet the demon King's eyes.He sat behind his desk looking at me seriously without blinking.I shifted my gaze to his hands which were on the desk with a rapid beating heart. I wanted to see if he had blood on them or not. The thought of him finding Ducan on his bed and killing him made me very scared.A sigh of relief escaped me when I saw how he had no blood on his hand or clothes."Get up." He ordered, then raised a finger to me as a gesture to do it quickly.I nervously moved and got off the bed."Take off your robes." He said as I moved my hand to the chest grabbing the robe in a fist.No, I didn't want it to happen again. I don't want to get hurt or harassed by him like last time.I would take hits and I would fight back

    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
