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
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
