Damien,

The next morning I woke up with anticipation to see Mother. Immediately, I turned to Mother hoping she was awake, but she wasn't.

"Why the hell wouldn't she wake up? What is her problem?" I muttered, frustrated. I can't do this alone. I am confused. These wicked people have taken everything away from me. I have never lived without my mother’s guidance. What do I do?

I got off the bed and stared at my mother for an unhealthy amount of time, waiting to see any change in her, but it was all the same. Damn, I need to clean her up, I made a mess of her.

I carried Mother off the bed to the bathroom, cleaned her up, and bathed her. After that, I dressed her in a silk gown and laid her back on the bed. Now I am alone, left to deal with the reality alone.

Each time I see Mother lying quietly on the bed, my heart shatters into minute pieces. I left her in the room and then stepped into the palace room to see the scene I ignored yesterday. All my men are dead, Mother’s app

    Damien I dashed back to the house right away, but I knew it wouldn't be a refuge for me for long. I had to get things done quickly. My mother taught me how to cast protective magic when I was very small. She told me to use it anytime I was in danger, but I never believed I would use it. I had little idea about the outside world back then; I was young and a little naive. All I knew was that my mother, who was ultimately assassinated by the palace, was only thinking about what was best for me. According to my mother, everyone was aware of my mother's passing and played a part in it. I was a young, confused person. Every time I closed my eyes, the night devils would crawl in. Sometimes I would hear devils speaking in my ears and being told to commit horrible acts. I would try to evade them by running to a corner, but it never worked. Mom would come home to find me shaky and afraid. She would put some powder on my tongue and teach me some spells. It would protect me, she sai

    Damien My demons did fight for me today, I am grateful to them. The villagers now understand that, despite the deaths of all of my soldiers and allies, I am still the kingdom's monarch. I am aware of my mother's presence. I'm not sure how to help her escape this world in which she finds herself. I feel emotionally spent and bewildered. I'm unable to fathom this. I'm feeling heavy with reality. This kind of crap cannot continue. Edward will discover that he has entered the lion's lair as soon as I feel ready to punish him for his transgressions. My vulnerability makes now the ideal time for my enemies to launch an attack. Hopefully, Edward won't return anytime soon. I don't have any men, rouges, or sorcerers. I will be forced to leave with my mother and return when she is fully conscious and aware of everything that has transpired if this knowledge leaks out from Avalor. When Mom learns that all of her apprentices have perished, she will be furious. Finding a new group of

    r is breathing heavily and so am I. I don't know what just happened but I think I fucked her back to life. “Mother? You’re alive!” I exclaimed in joy “Come out of me boy…you’ll send me back to the spirit world,” Mother said in her husky voice I quickly got up from her. “Oh, mother!” I could not hide my excitement. “I’m so happy that you are back, it's been over a week now, why did you leave me?” I couldn't stop myself from hugging and showering her with kisses. “Why are you penetrating me while I am on a spiritual journey? Did you know what you did to me? You killed me!” MotherI said aggressively as she tried to sit up from the bed and i assisted her. “What are you talking about Mother? I brought you back to life!” “No son, you sent me to the world beyond. You killed me!” she yelled. “So how are you alive?” I was stuck in the spirit world and I couldn't find everyone I came with so that we could complete the ritual. It is a good thing that you pushed me out of the tran

    Edwina It's been a week since I arrived here, and strangely, I feel a bit better than that first day. The air is still heavy with uncertainty, but I'm adapting. Yet, there's this constant thorn in my side—Edward. His presence sets me on edge, a simmering anger bubbling just beneath the surface. Why does he hover over me, watching every move, offering assistance I never asked for? I can't fathom his motives, and frankly, I don't care. He's wasting his time. There's nothing left for him or anyone else to take from me. I'm hollow, an empty shell of what I used to be. From now on, I've decided not to bother contemplating consequences before every move. Life's become a precarious dance, and I'll waltz through it as if I'm on the brink of my demise. There's a certain freedom in living without restraint, without a plan. Perhaps that's my way of coping with the chaos around me. I'll just exist, each day a step closer to the unknown, uncaring of what lies ahead. The second day I

    Edwina He was quiet after hearing everything I had to say. There was a look of confusion and remorse on his face. His eyes searched mine, seeking some kind of understanding or forgiveness. I couldn't bear to see it. “I had no idea what was going on…your father? Mother? Edwina…” he stammered, his voice trailing off in an attempt to console me. I cut him short in the middle of his unnecessary condolence. “Please, Edward, save your remorse and shove it up your ass. I don’t need it! I don’t need you, and you should have never tried to save me,” I snapped, my emotions boiling over. “You should just go back to your kingdom and get married to your bride. I’m glad she escaped death, but I would sacrifice her over and over again if that is what it means to get my mother back. I don’t regret what I did, so if you want to punish me, you better do it and make sure the punishment is death. Make it quick, King Edward!” I roared harshly but kept my voice low, a venomous mixture of anger

    I find myself haunted by the ghosts of irreversible mistakes. Edwina's pain, a weight too heavy for my shoulders, lingers in the air like a tangible sorrow. It's heartbreaking that I cannot undo the loss of her parents or the scars placed on her tender heart. The gravity of my shortcomings becomes painfully apparent as I reflect on the years gone by. Edwina, with vulnerability in her eyes, sought solace in my presence. She trusted me with the fragments of her shattered world, only to receive my misplaced fury in return. I was blind to the genuine need for comfort that she extended to me. Now, with clarity, I see the wreckage of my life. For three years, I've been living a lie, channeling my rage into the wrong avenues, misled by the venomous words of others. The loss of my mother, a tragedy that scarred my soul, became a breeding ground for resentment, clouding my judgment and leading me astray. Edwina's heart, once a delicate flower, now bears the weight of my transgression

    EdwardMy royal council felt it was wise for me to have relations with the next potential king of Oakheart, so they went ahead to request Sebastian’s daughter’s hand in marriage.

    Edward,Everything seemed like a dream when I saw that the palace where I had left Edwina had caught fire.I did not understand how it happened, but something told me that it was my fault.I feel quite guilty because I was part of the reason why she sustained so many injuries. I had no idea that she was there, so I just climbed over the door to save Edwina, but I had no idea.I was glad that the healers were able to save Rebecca, even though she had sustained so many burns. But hearing that she was pregnant was the last thing I expected to hear.Of course, she is pregnant. This is what she has always wanted. This was what she aimed to get when she drugged my food and took advantage of me. But how do I begin to explain that?I have finally fulfilled all the promises that I made to Edwina, and I am supposed to be happy with her right now. But Rebecca obviously is the enemy that was sent to ruin my happiness, and she is doing a good job at that.I feel so sad that Alfie is gone. He was l

    EdwinaI was stuck here in the palace with this hideous-looking creature. I remember the terrible things that I saw with her and Damien. Why would Edward leave me in the same room with this bitch?I want to strangle her, and I want to take the life out of her. She looks so fragile; it would be very easy for me to kill her.As soon as Edward and Alfie left the both of us in the room, I knew that this was the perfect opportunity for me to end her life.I did not care what Edward was saying to Alfie when he wanted to take his swing at her, but I will not listen to any of that. She is as guilty as Damien for killing my parents.As soon as I was sure that Edward and Alfie were out of our way, I went for it.I was at her neck, my hand around her stupid neck, and began to press as hard as I could. She tried to push my hands off, but she obviously wasn’t strong enough, and I was not even willing to let go until I am sure that the breath has left and she is truly gone.“Plea…” She begged, but

    I couldn’t understand what was going on. Alfie should not be fighting in his condition, but he continues to fight. What the hell is wrong with him? I tried to stop him from fighting, but at the same time, Damien made it difficult.Each time I pulled him away and fought the man myself, he ended up coming back to fight.“Leave my body alone, you fucking witch!” When he yelled those words, I knew that everything he was doing was not of his own will; he was being controlled. The witch is here somewhere.The second time Alfie went to grab Damien, I rushed to him to pull him away, but Damien delivered a massive blow to me and I landed on my back. Damien succeeded in pulling out a massive part of Alfie's heart, and it was then that Alfie finally stopped fighting…“Alfie!” I yelled as I watched him fall to the ground, breathing badly.His heart had been tossed aside, and I thought that if I rushed to pick up the heart and put it back into him, it would heal because there was still time.

    AlfieI knew that Edward was not as smart as he thought he was.What was he thinking? Taking all his men at once into Valencia to fight?Does he think Damien is stupid?Damien has been fighting wars since before he was born, and yet Edward thought his men were just enough to take Damien down.Well, he should be glad that I am here with my men. Even though I do not want to wear my men out, I know that they will come in very handy. But it is just too early for Edward to use his men; we haven’t even gotten to Damien yet.By the time that I did, it would have been toast.My men came in and slaughtered all the fools that Damien thought he had fortified with powers. I knew that they were in the palace, so that is where we are heading.

    EdwardAs we were fighting, I felt like we weren't being challenged as much as I thought we would. Something is off, and it is hard for me to place my finger on it. Why have I not seen Damien yet? Suddenly, I felt a change in the atmosphere when I saw some of my men fighting against each other.I could not understand what was going on. They were all dressed in the same uniform, and it was a bit confusing for me to fight and defend.Why the hell are my men fighting against each other? It became apparent I made a mistake by recruiting men from outside. News could have gotten to Damien about this, and he might have managed to bring in some of the bad eggs into my ranks. Now, it is difficult for me to know who my men are and who they aren’t. It's impossible for me to know all my soldiers, but I know a few...I managed to find my way out of the crowd and stood in front of them as I watched my men fight each other."Retreat," I yelled. "By the order of the king, I command you all to retreat

    DamienI didn't mean to hit Venus like that, but the things he was saying weren't right.Venus was on the floor after I swung my hand at him unexpectedly, driving him off. He didn't just land on the ground; he hit a very heavy stone, which made it difficult for him to stand up for a moment. I didn't know how much damage my action caused him, but I didn't care.“So it was you? You killed my mother and laid the path for my own life, making me hate my family just to use me as your puppet, and now you want to abandon me… why, Serena?”“Damien, take it easy. Remember, I am your mother, and I know what is best for you. There is war in the vicinity; this is not the right time for us to turn against each other. Stop acting crazy, Damien,” she said.“No, you are not my mother; you are Serena, the evil witch who took over my life, and turned me into a monster, hurting the people that I thought were my family. You took my right from me, but it was you all along, you lying bitch!” I was about to

    EdwinaMy heart has not beaten normally since we set out on this journey. From the moment we left Galentia, I knew that my world was about to change, and I couldn't sit around without playing a part in it.The air became tense as we rode for Galentia. I wondered what was going through the minds of Edward and Alfie at the same time because I knew that my own heart was not settled, and it was hard to even pin down my thoughts. My thoughts were all over the place.It's time for Damien to die, and I'm afraid that we might not get it right this time because we have been missing it for a very long time. Damien has a powerful sorceress with him, and even though Edward managed to chase her home last time, we're not sure if she's still alive or not.I have zeroed my mind on any possibility of failing in the battle with Damien's life.This is it! I'm trusting Edward and Alfie to do a complete job. Edward is strong enough to take down Damien, and he has tried it before, but because there were so

    EDWARDWith the fastest of our horses and a determined resolve, we set off from Valencia to Avalor with swiftness.Every step of the journey, I pondered what to expect when we arrived in Avalor. I feared the worst outcome: that Damien had amassed more forces than we did, and perhaps he had bolstered his ranks with dark powers.I lack any dark powers myself, and I often wonder how I manage to face him. Whenever I confront him, I never dwell on whether I am strong enough to defeat him or not. I am always driven by the anger within me, always ready to inflict as much damage as possible, and that is exactly what I intend to do this time.I am in no mood for smiles; Damien has had enough respite, and now it is time for him to face his reckoning.As the night grew dark, we decided to take shelter in a small village on the outskirts.We built a fire, and the men set up camp all around. I am not afraid of the night or what dangers it may bring, for I have so many allies that it would take a g

    DamienMother is not taking this seriously, but Edward is already on his way here and it seems like he has a massive army.Some of my men are within his army, this is a tactic that I made a while ago, but why the hell does my heart still beat upon his arrival?I hurried downstairs to gather all my rogue army too. Edward is still far and hasn’t entered Avalor's gates, so there is still time for us to prepare.I had gotten a message earlier that Edward was coming today. How could I be so stupid to forget?This is all Mother’s fault… if I hadn’t been so distracted by her, seeking attention all the time, I would've remembered. I got this message a month ago that Edward would be arriving here on this day, but I totally forgot about it.Damn it!It is not too late. I ran outside and got all my men, telling them to guard the gates while I deal with Venus.I went back into the house to see that Venus was done packing his bag and changed into a different attire, ready to leave the house."You
