Bright's p.o.vI raised my hands in surrender whenConner raised his sword to my throat."I surrender," I whispered Softly."I figured." He answered with pride.Thinking back to how we came here made me want to whine.It was very late at night yet the camp was so noisy because it was Wednesday.Conner was struggling to sleep, and I too was getting annoyed at the loud screams and moans coming from both the women and the warriors being intimate. It was also becoming awkward for the three of us who lay in our tent just listening.When an idea popped into my mind I quickly sat upright and asked him to go out with me to train for a bit.At first, he was about to refuse but later changed his mind and grabbed his sword and another wooden sword for me.We carefully sneaked out of the camp and went to the back alley of some buildings which he was certain no one used at night because they were scared of the stories they had heard about the placeThe moon was brightly shining, and we could see m
Edith's p.o.vI stood watching my Mistress as she sat where a circle and a pentagram was drawn on the ground. On each end of the pentagram was a lit candle. Her legs were crossed, and the holy sword was floating right in front of her. Below it was the ancient dark book of spells and magic.Her form was one which I wasn't comfortable with, the faceless form.She was sweating, and she looked tired, yet she couldn't stop to eat or rest.Dark energy was coming from the book and entering the sword. The first few hours she had to change into her second form and ask me to bring a bow of animal blood which I complied with, then she asked me to leave the room which I did. But after hours I decided to return because I was concerned about her well-being.The door was locked from the inside and a barrier was put up that only the demon king, the queen and I could penetrate.She wanted no one to disturb her and I too would have been among them if not that she needed me to help out with some of her
Oni's p.o.v I watched in shock as Clair threw her sword at Eleanor who was running towards her. I was about to run to her side but stopped when Eleanor went down on her knees sliding forward and getting on her feet in a second with her sword pressed on Clair's shoulder. The whole training field went quiet and the only thing we could hear was our loud breathing. I couldn't understand how a friendly fight between them could quickly turn serious. Were they fighting or was one of them angry at the other?. I frowned, feeling confused when Clair smiled widely at her. "You are perfect, my queen. How the hell have you improved so much in just a few weeks?" She asked loudly. "I have two great teachers," Eleanor answered, then lowered her sword. "You mean someone is training you besides Oni?" She asked loudly. I, too, was interested to know exactly who it was. "I was just messing with you. I only have one teacher, besides him, I have this great sword that Ducan had given me." She answ
Ducan's p.o.v I was woken up by a loud ringing sound in my ear. I slowly sat upright on the bed and looked at Eleanor who was still asleep. Not only was I uncomfortable I felt uneasy. I groaned softly then slowly moved to the edge and got up. "What is it?" I asked huskily knowing that the ringing I had heard was a secret calling from the ancient witch. "The holy sword." Her response came. "I'll be there in a minute," I answered calmly. I was about to move when I heard Eleanor yawn. "Ducan." She called softly. I turned and looked at her. She was rubbing her eyes while moving to sit upright. "Who were you talking to?" She asked in a low tone. "Iris, she wants to have a word with me about the holy sword," I answered honestly. "Can I come along?" She asked. "I think it's urgent, and you have just woken up so...." "Please." She whispered, cutting me off. "Fine," I answered feeling defeated. There was no refusing her when she said please in such a tone. She moved from the be
Eleanor's p.o.v"Here," Ducan whispered while he handed me a cup of warm milk."Thank you," I whispered in a cracked voice then got the cup from his hand.I had a lot of thoughts running through my mind on the bed that I sat on and Ducan too looked like he had a lot going through his mind.The place below my eyes was throbbing, and my throat was hurting badly. This was the first time that I had cried so much for hours without stopping.I felt so terrified at the thought of losing my husband. He was going to war in his bad condition and there was no way I could stop him.The other disadvantage we had was that, if he wasn't going to stand for his people then a lot of them were going to die.I took a sip from the cup and moved it from my lips."My heart, how are you feeling?" He asked softly.I looked at him sadly then forced a smile on my face as tears formed in my eyes."I'm better," I answered and quickly took another sip from my cup.He moved his hand to my back gently rubbing there
Zara's p.o.v"Is it still okay for me to spend a night here?" I asked Victor seriously.He looked at me and then nodded.Ever since Iris locked the door, I couldn't go in or open it, that's why I went back to the demon fairies and asked them to take me in for a day or two. At first, they hesitated but later on gave in when Victor talked to them.For the past few days, I dearly missed Iris and at night I did my best to train with Oni to keep my mind off of her.I sighed loudly then leaned against the sofa."What's wrong with you?" Victor asked."Nothing," I answered without looking at him."It can't be, nothing when you have been sighing for quite some time now, this is the seventh time." He pointed out."I'm exhausted from night training." I lied."You can't be serious, you only began training recently." He said loudly.I looked at him and then sat upright."I miss her," I answered in a low tone."You mean your witch lover?" He asked."Yes," I answered sadly."I'm sure she does too."
Bright's p.o.vI appeared in the demon palace and looked around to see if anyone was close by.My act in the human camp was flawless, and they noticed nothing besides me disappearing. According to them, they thought I had run away and left my precious friend Conner behind. They took that opportunity to tease me thinking I was Conner. They mocked me over how no one stayed longer with me. Furthermore, they even brought back his sad past and that made me angry on his behalf because I could feel his every emotion.He could see everything and feel what I felt, sadly he had no power to take over because his will was weaker than mine.As I walked in the passage going to the demon King's bedchamber, I could hear women's laughter. When they came into view, they all stopped moving and looked at me coldly.Oni, who was behind them, quickly moved in front of them and drew out his sword.I was shocked when the women did the same and moved to stand beside him.They were humans! Female warriors sent
Hero's p.o.v "No slacking and no holding back," I whispered under my breath. I was more than ready to fight and take down the demon king. Not only was I furious and disgusted with his kind, I also wasn't going to let any of them live. The hero that took down the late demon king was reckless and stupid. How could he let his child survive?. Did he not know that he would grow up!?. For years, I had trained my mind, body, and heart to be the best I could be. I was immune to all mind tricks and illusions. Unlike the first hero, I was very ambitious, and I saw what I could become with the blessed maiden beside me. I was going to end the demon kingdom and take the blessed maiden for myself. Once she would bear my child, I would then toss her to my three lead warriors who would take turns with her and make her conceive. The three of us would become invisible, and I would be a damn god who everyone could fear and pray to. Just the thought itself made me chuckle. The excitement I felt was
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
