Zara's p.o.v

I 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

    Ducan's p.o.vI heard it all in the throne room and I was now aware of what the female warrior wanted to do.Eleanor went back to our bedchamber after that and rested for the night.In the morning when she woke up, I was still in my other room where I had chosen to stay for hours. I couldn't stop thinking hard about everything.Was she going to betray me?. Yes. But would she betray my human side?. That I didn't know, that's why I wanted to see if she was going to tell me about the warrior or keep it a secret from me. If she truly had feelings for me as a human, then she wasn't going to keep me in the dark."Serve me." I whispered in a low tone as the twin dark fairies appeared."Prepare my wife for the day. We will be going somewhere together. Don't tell her anything and make sure to treat her gently." I ordered.They bowed to show their respect then disappeared.Since yesterday I felt low and uncomfortable. The last time I felt like that, something bad happened. It wasn't that seri

    Ose's p.o.v I stood at the entrance to the kingdom with Oni beside me. Oni looked very focused and serious with his tight grip on his staff. When he reported to me over the hero's approach to our territory. I quickly rushed to the entrance expecting to find the generals ready, but they were nowhere to be seen. "Did you inform the generals?" I asked seriously. "Yes, I did." He answered calmly. I didn't understand why there was no one guarding the entrance!. They all knew their duties and how important it was to protect our kingdom!. What was so important that they could neglect their duties like this?. "Ose, even if they aren't here, we are. We can handle humans by ourselves." He said then looked at me seriously. "Of course, we pledged to protect our people and kingdom." I answered. The hero was hardly defeated because he was very strong and the gods seemed to favour him. Although he had no holy sword, he still had an anointed one, which was dipped in holy water. It was dange

    Victor's p.o.vI was thrown into the dungeon like a bag of rice by the demon king as I groaned in pain.He glared at me then walked out without a word. I forced myself to sit upright and look around. The dungeon I was in was a little dark and it smelled very badly. I looked at myself and noticed that my hands were in chains that were linked to the wall."How the hell am I chained!. Is it magic he has used?" I asked myself silently then sighed heavily and pulled on the chains to see if they could break."Damn it." I whispered while trying again.It was a clear suicide mission coming here, but I had no choice because I wanted to see Eleanor no matter what. She was my best friend and the woman I loved. How could I sit by and act like a coward as I did back then when the demon lord took her away from me.For weeks I was haunted by what happened. Whenever I closed my eyes I saw her trying her best to defend herself from him. I blamed myself for not always being prepared and for being a s

    Eleanor's p.o.vI quickly stood up from the bed when I heard loud footsteps approaching.I had no idea who it was but I was hoping it was Ducan.After helping me prepare, the demon fairies left without a word. I began counting numbers and letters while waiting for Ducan.He wasn't going to keep me waiting, that I knew, that's why I felt so calm and relaxed.The door opened and the demon king walked in and looked at me seriously.He stopped moving and clicked his tongue then went to the pool taking off his robe.I turned and faced the other side refusing to look at his naked body."I reek of human filth!" He spat furiously then groaned loudly.I slowly turned and looked at him with a frown. He stood with his back towards me, washing his face.Were his words directed to me?. I was the only human close to him and the only one who spent most of the time in his bedchamber."Disgusting." He muttered to himself as I felt my heart ache.I looked at myself sadly then raised my hand to sniff

    Ducan's p.o.vI slowly rubbed my hand against her back, trying to calm her down as she cried in my arms.I had no idea why she was crying and claiming that something was wrong with her. I wanted to ask what she meant by that but first I needed her to stop crying.A few minutes ago I was very pissed at those two humans who had wounded Oni. Ose wanted to go after the hero. I could sense that, but I had to stop him because I could pick up some scents of more humans ahead. The hero wasn't alone, he was with some warriors and he wanted Ose to follow him just as he had planned. If Ose was to follow him, he could have ended up being killed.The hero was very skilled but also clever and tactful. Everything he did was well calculated and planned.I looked at her calmly then kissed her head gently.I was seriously in love with her, that's why I valued her life and treated her kindly. I could have easily killed her brother and her childhood friend but I didn't. I had to stop myself because I d

    Zara's p.o.v "Bring him in." A female voice ordered. I looked at the demon fairy with a glare as she dragged me in a creepy looking bedchamber. The chain around my wrist was hurting each time she used force to pull it. A huge bed which was covered in dark sheets at the center came into view. On the far end to my right was a big pool that had red flower petals floating on top and a few bottles of oil were at the edge of the pool next to the folded robes. When I looked to my left, I raised a brow. A woman stood with her back towards us. She was looking at something which was on her desk. But just by looking at her back, I could guess that she was beautiful. She wasn't that tall, because she looked close to my height. Her curves were amazing through her transparent robe. She had firm buttocks and a small waist, her beautiful brunette hair fell on her back like silk. I really wanted to see her face badly. "Ancient one I have brought the slave." The demon fairy said, then forced

    Eleanor's p.o.v"Go in." Ducan said at the entrance of the palace."Okay." I whispered then stood still staring at him seriously."Why wasn't he kissing me good night like he usually did." I asked myself silently.Most times when we were out, he kissed me on the way or at the entrance. It was risky but I was so used to it that I couldn't go but wait for him to do it. After all, we chatted all the way without him making a move on me."Eleanor, go in." He said again."Alright." I answered, then took a step forward and tip-toed, kissing his cheek lightly."Sleep well." I whispered then turned and walked to the bedchamber.Something was definitely wrong with him, I could sense it. Although we talked and discussed a few things on our way, he kept on staring at me as if something was on my face.He was acting a little different than usual. I guess he was shaken up by Oni being injured badly.When I reached the door to the bedchamber it opened by itself.I stood still for a minute looking at

    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
