Zara's p.o.v "No, that's impossible!" She exclaimed. I understood her reaction because no one in their right mind would easily accept it when I was ten years older than they had left me months ago. "It's me, Eleanor, you can ask me any question and I will truthfully answer," I said seriously. "You are not my brother and I won't stand here and have you manipulate me. Ducan, I don't want to be here." She said strongly as the demon king smirked. A minute ago he looked like he was getting upset, but now he was enjoying her denial. He wanted her to reject me, I could see it in his eyes. "Ancient witch, you heard my wife. She no longer wants to be here, so we will take our leave." He said, then linked his hand to hers. "Let's go, my heart." He whispered as I glared at him. "You hate the color pink and love the color black. You like singing while collecting herbs, and you are bad at acting. You rarely react whenever mother slaps you because you are rather used to her outbursts and tan
Victor's p.o.v I was silently counting numbers knowing today was the day I was going to be given food. I had no idea who or what brought me food and water in my cell. All I knew was that they had a kind heart because if a demon was in my position in the human territory they could have been slaughtered by now. If by chance they were still alive they would have been starved to death. But that wasn't my case. Everyday food appeared in my cell once a day with a glass of water. At first, I refused to eat thinking it was poisonous, but as days went on it became clear to me, either way, I was going to die, so I might as well try to eat. The food I was given looked rather disturbing because it was sticky soup mixed with a piece of bread, but once it was in my mouth it tasted a lot better. I quickly finished eating and drinking water with only one thing on my mind, my death. The whole night I waited for my death, but surprisingly I survived. When the food was brought in the next day I ate an
Ducan's p.o.v "Can I join you?' I asked Eleanor softly. She was bathing in the pool with her back towards me while I sat on the bed watching. "I swear I won't do a thing, I'll just look," I said then frowned and stood up when I felt someone's presence in the room. "You can bathe immediately after I finish." She answered. "Yeah, that sounds awesome," I said then looked around. "Whoever you are, meet me in the throne room right now," I whispered seriously. "What?" She asked. "Nothing my heart, I just want to step out for a few minutes. I will be back." I answered, then went out and walked to the throne room. Immediately I entered I found the two demon fairies standing near the throne. I went to my throne and sat down looking at them seriously. "What is so important that you had to come into my chamber without being summoned?" I asked. "Master." They called together and then gave a bow. "Speak! What is so important, is it the female warriors, did something happen to them?. Is
Eleanor's p.o.v"So I have to shed tears of joy on the map?" I asked for the second time."Yes. That's the only way to pinpoint where the sword is." He answered.I kept quiet thinking of all the sad times I cried in demon territory."Eleanor." He called softly as I blinked back the forming tears."I have a lot of bad memories here," I whispered, honestly."I know, that's why I won't ask you to do it by force. Even without the sword, we will do our best to fight back." He said softly then smiled."Okay," I murmured.He linked his hand to mine and inhaled deeply.We immediately disappeared and appeared in our bedchamber."I'll take a bath, you can just sit there and wait for me." He said then began disrobing himself."I want to, but I have to talk to Clair about something." I lied."Alright then, you can go. Just don't take long to return." He said then walked to the pool naked.I swallowed hard and turned walking out of the room.I wasn't going to sit down and keep on admiring or lusti
Victor's p.o.v I was in shock as I walked through the passage without chains on my wrist. I looked at the twin demon fairies and then focused ahead. I had chased them away when I asked them not to watch me as I ate, that's what I thought. When they came back I was surprised. "Did you forget something?" That's what I asked them once they were in front of me. They silently removed my chains with their magic and asked me to follow them. My heart was rapidly beating, but I wasn't scared of them at all because if I was going to be killed, they didn't need to get rid of my chains. They were either taking me to face the demon king to answer for what I had done to one of his warriors, or they were taking me amid the generals or council if they had any, so I could be given proper punishment. When we reached two large doors, they instantly opened by themselves. The twins moved forward while I stood still looking carefully ahead. There was a passage and a turn in front of us. Besides that
Ducan's p.o.v I was looking at the map seriously and somehow in shock. I couldn't believe that she had managed to make everything visible. Not only that, I could see where the sword was, and it was in a territory that wasn't far from my own. "Serve me," I commanded seriously. One of the twin demon fairies appeared in front of us and bowed. I looked at her from head to toe then looked around. "Ducan, what are you looking for?" Eleanor asked softly beside me. I was looking for the other demon fairy because they were rarely separated. "Nothing," I answered, then looked back at the fairy. "Summon the generals and the ancient witch right away," I ordered. She bowed and then disappeared. I moved and rolled the scroll happily. Now that I knew where the sword was, what was left to do was to retrieve it. I pressed my free hand on Eleanor's with a smile. "Thank you, my heart," I whispered softly. "It was nothing." She whispered back. "It's not nothing when it means a lot to me and m
Eleanor's p.o.vI watched as the generals all left the throne room."Master, forgive me for saying this, but you can't just go in that territory blindly, what if something happens to you?" The ancient witch asked seriously."That's exactly what I wanted to say." Ose backed her up."Thank you," I whispered under my breath.Maybe he would listen to them because he trusted them so much."That's the risk I'm willing to take." He answered seriously."Ducan, maybe you shouldn't go to that territory, It really could be…""Eleanor, kings do take risks to protect their kingdom as well as their people. You should know that because human kings are the same." He said cutting me off.I bit my lower lip and lowered my gaze to the floor. I could see in his eyes that he was getting annoyed at how we were trying to stop him."If that's the case then I will be the one to go to that territory." The ancient witch said as I looked at her seriously."What?" Ducan asked seriously."The reason you asked us h
Clair's p.o.v I was looking at the door impatiently waiting for Ose to walk in. Every time the doors were sealed or locked in it wasn't good because that meant the generals were summoned to discuss something very important. That time I was called in to join the meeting. They all seemed to have accepted my help, but in this meeting, I was completely left out. When the demon fairy came into our bedchamber to summon him she said only a few words. "Your presence is required in the throne room, general." And that was enough to make me worry The upcoming war wasn't going to affect the people in the human territory because the warriors were going to come here, but that didn't mean I wasn't worried about the well-being of Ose, my fellow female warriors, and Eleanor. Because of that, I was going to wield my sword against the people I swore to answer to and those were my commanders. When I heard the sound of the door opening, I quickly rushed to the bed and sat down. I didn't want to look d
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
