Zara's p.o.v

I 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.

    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

    Clair's p.o.vI stayed for hours waiting for Ose to come back. Since he left the room I decided to stay put and not do anything that would put my life in danger. It wasn't wise going around an unknown kingdom when I was their enemy, attacking him too was out of question. Besides liking his form, I didn't want to be attacked by all the demons and have my friends killed because of me.The fact that I was still alive was a good thing. Yesterday I panicked and acted rashly by attacking those demons in the dungeon. It was a wrong move that would have cost us all our lives. But after hours of thinking carefully, I decided to play my role of a slave very well, since I already liked what form my master had, it was going to be easy to have him lower his guard.While earning his trust, I was going to befriend the maiden and convince her to go back with us. If she agreed, I would proceed to study the whole kingdom and know where all entrances were. I would also know all the duties of each dem

    Ducan's p.o.v I sat on my throne tapping my hand on my thigh trying to calm down. I was feeling impatient and uneasy. A few minutes already went by and Eleanor wasn't yet here. Was I too hard on her?. No, of course not, I didn't treat her badly. Was it my words?. Did I scare her again?. Or was I too demanding when I told her not to make me wait?. Was my hand on her body aggressive?. I couldn't stop thinking about how I acted and it was slowly making me lose my composure!. She wasn't thinking of running away again, was she?. No, she couldn't do it without telling me about it in my human form. Then why was she taking so long to come to the throne room when the demon servants were going to attend to her?. "Ducan." Ose whispered in front of me, snapping me out of my thoughts. "What?" I asked seriously. "The generals are wondering why you look very upset." He whispered under his breath. I shifted and looked at the generals who were looking at me with concern. A few of them

    Eleanor's p.o.v I couldn't believe the demon king spared her life. I was shocked at the same time I felt confused. When I looked up, I noticed the python demon looking down at me seriously. "Thank you." The woman behind me whispered while the demon generals left the room. I stood up and faced her as she did the same. At first I was in doubt that she was human, but when she wrote the name of our gods on my palm, I realized there and then that she really was. Because all demons knew of our gods, but there was never a day they wrote or called out their names. According to myths and stories, a demon who dared to call upon their names or write it down, faced a calamity. "I don't know why you are here but I'll tell you this honestly. The demon king doesn't hesitate to do as he pleases, mostly when he is angered. Today is the first time that he has shown mercy to a human without the demon python's plea. Next time he won't hesitate to kill any one of us if he is angered again." I said s

    Ose's p.o.v I walked back into the palace furiously. Was he in love with her?. No that wasn't the case. Ducan hated humans, that I knew. But then why was he gentle with her?. The way he looked at her and how he acted towards me, it was like he was jealous. She was so happy to see him and even tried her best to cover my words!. I was so annoyed and angry for some reason. I matched into my bedchamber and stopped near the bed when my eyes landed on my slave who sat on the bed looking at me with a warm smile. "What?" I asked loudly. She frowned then slowly moved to the edge. "Ose, did I upset you in any way?" She asked when she stood up. "First of all, let's start by your pure disrespect of addressing me by my name." I pointed out. "But you told me your name yourself, I just...." "Shut up human!" I yelled on top of my voice startling her. "Not only do you address me by my name, you acted high and mighty in front of our demon king. Did you not notice all the slaves kneeling dow

    Ducan's p.o.v"Was I rough with you?" I asked seriously while we walked to the cottage.Her lips were a bit swollen and redish. She looked at me then shook her head."No." She answered softly.I could tell that she wasn't being honest with me because I was really rough with her. Her neck had little hickeys on the side and all because I got excited over hearing her words.When she said all that to me, I felt very happy and I couldn't stop myself from kissing her in the manner I wanted.I felt so confident in telling her who I truly was, just not at that moment. When everything was settled with the human slaves that still held bad intentions for us, I was going to come clean.But first I had to wait for the right time.After the kiss, I decided to go to my late mother's cottage with her so that we can spend some quality time together, as well as to calm myself down."I'll say this again. This place is beautiful." She whispered then walked ahead to the well.I stopped walking then glanc

    Zara's p.o.vI packed my things in a sack bag and carried it, slowly sneaking out of my room.It was very late at night and half of the village was already asleep.My father was fast asleep with my mother due to heavy drinking of wine. I took it upon myself to praise them and make them feel so good that my father had to order one of the villagers to serve him and my mother his best wine.While we all laughed and chatted away, I poured wine in their cups whenever they were empty, so they could drink more. In just a few hours, they were already passed out.I came out of the house cautiously looking around while walking to the entrance of the village.Once I had crossed it, I smiled then rushed ahead to a nearby stream where the hero had asked me to meet him.Ever since that day we talked, we only met once to discuss where we were going to meet and what to carry.For the past few days I collected and stole holy items from the village people. While some kept those items in their rooms to

    Eleanor's p.o.v I looked at the open door seriously then composed myself and walked into the bedchamber. Ducan escorted me to the palace's entrance and went back after saying his goodbye. I felt nervous and I didn't know what to tell the demon king if he was to ask me where I went. When my eyes landed on him, I stopped walking and tensed. He sat on the bed with his robes slightly parted, revealing his chest. Although he didn't look upset, he didn't look happy either I lowered my gaze to the ground and waited for him to yell at me or order me to do something against my will. "Were you out for a walk?" He asked softly. I quickly looked up, surprised at his question and the tone of his voice. "Yes, I....I wanted to tour around the palace." I answered in a stammering voice. "Did anything catch your eye?" He asked seriously. I kept quiet for a few seconds, thinking hard on how to answer his question. "Yes, the flowers on the walls were quite unique." I answered then swallowed h

    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
