“I am his son."Seth grimaced in pain, that he tried so hard to hide but couldn't. The other men tried to rush to his rescue but Kwan pulled out his daggers and gave them a warning look. They stopped in their tracks knowing better than to fight a demon who was known for his skills to kill other demons.Seth looked like he was being strangled. His face became pale and he fell on his knees. He could barely utter a word and all nicklaus was doing was holding his arm. Kwan wondered what was going on.Finally, when Seth looked like he was going to die Nicklaus let go of his arm. As soon as his arm was free Seth fell back and crawled backward as if afraid to stay anywhere near Nicklaus. The other demons stared surprised, even Kwan.Seth was a demon lord. He was much older than nicklaus and he was known to be fearless and ruthless. For him to look so scared, Nicklaus must have done something even if they saw him do nothing.The other demons looked at each other, scared and confused. When Set
The next day after their meal, Nicklaus officially assigned Dalton, Miguel and Rex their roles within his troop. The others were assigned as commanders as well, while Zane and Yael were told that they will be in charge of Tiana’s protection details. They could tell that Nicklaus already knew what he was doing.Nicklaus had planned to make his team ready for war, he had royal army on his command, the demons too and maybe the vampires. He was not bad off, but he didn’t want to slack, he needed to bring the fight to them not to wait."How about me?" Tiana asked, pointing at herself with passion. "I believe I am qualified to stand next to you now, Klaus. I think I can be your right hand woman now."Nicklaus was visibly surprised. Even the others were speechless at what the queen had said. However, with her powers of being able to summon griffins, she is now definitely the second most powerful person in their group. So, it was not actually a totally baseless thing, what that the queen had
Tiana was surprised at his sudden actions. He was all gloomy and dark just a little while ago, and here he was now, acting for all the sake as though he was a sick little puppy.Comparing him now to his person during sex, was like comparing between heaven and hell. Though, she mused to herself that she would not go as far as to compare him to hell when they were having sex. She thought that he was more of a mix of ecstatic heaven and flaming inferno when he was making love with her last night.Smiling again, Tiana saw the door closing quietly without any more disturbance to them. It seemed that Zane had seen what was going on between them and had decided to excuse himself silently and close the door after himself."Klaus…" she called out softly, her palm gently caressing his back. His mood was so much better now, compared to when she saw him upon last night. Since he seemed more approachable now, Tiana wanted to speak with him.Tiana did not want to waste any opportunities because she
As though they were in a rush, Nicklaus grabbed onto her and suddenly, using his demon powers, the two of them disappeared from sight, leaving everyone heaving a soft sigh before all of them looked at each other with an unspoken understanding and dispersed from the gates and returned to their posts.When they emerged again, Tiana quickly raised her protest before tiana could activate his powers to make them disappear again. "Wait! Klaus…" She pulled away, causing the man to frown and he wondered what is it that she wanted again this time. Is she feeling dizzy?“Are you okay? Aren't you in much of a rush?" Nicklaus questioned her. "Then why are you asking me to wait? Shouldn't you be asking me to hurry?""Well… I…" Tiana could not finish her words as her eyes caught the beautiful land arcs. He had teleported and brought them over to the entrance of crystal valley!Tiana’s heart began to throb in her chest, she remembered the first time Dalton, Rex and she escaped to the valley a strang
Upon arriving at the entrance of crystal city dark gate, Yalck was seen lying in wait there at his usual post. His fiery eagle eyes stared hard, not at Tiana but at Nicklaus as soon as the duo arrived and stepped into his territory."Yalck!" Tiana cheerfully ran towards the dark brown griffin the moment Nicklaus set her feet on the ground, as if the massive creature was her pet waiting for her return. She immediately circled her arms around and hugged the griffin’s neck and caressed his brown feathers fondly as she had missed it so much.Watching her, Nicklaus stared back at Yalck cautiously and the griffin then rose and issued out a low screech. Tiana was startled at the sudden dangerous sound Yalck made and she immediately realized that his eyes was currently fixed on Nicklaus.Her eyes flew towards Nicklaus and her mouth dropped open at the sight of him glaring back at the griffin aggressively as his demon fire was starting to swirl and gather on his palm him. Oh, no!Hastily, Tian
Dragging his hand through his hair, Nicklaus could only sigh helplessly and follow after Tiana and that irritating griffin. He stayed very close to her as he reared lazily, floating in the air using his powers.Looking over at him, Tiana could only part her lips in awe. She did not know he could do this too. His demon powers were truly something far more superior compared to what she had seen from Yael or hers. As she continued watching him, Nicklaus felt the weight of her gaze on him and turned to see her staring shiny eyed."Want to walk in air with me?" his voice echoed across the short distance between them, and Tiana realized the man had read her expression. "Come, wife." he stretched out his arm towards her welcomingly, but Yalck suddenly picked up his pace and flew a little further from the man, so Tiana’s outstretched arm could not bridge that sudden gap that widened between them to reach for his hand.Tiana saw how Nicklaus half-bite his lower lip in frustration and she could
"Tell me?" Tiana asked, her eyes wide in surprise and relief to hear that there was a way.Nicklaus, who had learned a lot about the phoenix queen and her powers from books, his mother and even his father, knew how powerful the queen of the phoenix witches was and what her magic could do, so he was certain that Tiana who was to be the phoenix queen could cure the dying griffin from what he had from his father.Nicklaus looked at the griffin wound first before answering Tiana’s question. "You can still save him as his wound is at the stage where it's still curable." he said, "all you have to do is touch the wounded part then call forth your healing magic.""I have healing magic?" her eyes widened. How come Yael did not tell her anything about this? But she then remembered when she healed Dalton’s arm but that time she didn’t that it was healing magic but could that save the griffin such a gigantic creature."From what I have read and learnt about phoenix witches, they have healing magi
It was already night when Tiana and Nicklaus entered the throne room of the massive frozen castle.Tiana had her hand loosely held in his as they walked together towards the throne. She was telling him everything that she had heard from Yael while Nicklaus looked around, listening to the sound of her euphonious voice, and not making comments on anything. All that she is telling him, he knew all of it already, but he did not make any comment and simply listened. He was happy that she trusted him to the extent of telling him all these without him probing and did not hide anything from him.Truth was that Nicklaus had not planned on agreeing with Tiana’s plan to awaken these phoenix witches. Though what she said was right, that these witches were certainly strong. Therefore, they will definitely be a huge help coming war as their allies.However, Nicklaus did not want them to be awakened just yet. In the striking scheme of things, now was not the right time to awaken the phoenix witches.
Imagine living in a world full of fiery, feral beings, hiding in the shadows, roving in our dreams, creeping under our skin. Eavesdropping, manipulating our minds, and exploring our bodies. They are savages, beasts but some of them are companions and childhood friends. Some are dangerous, others even more dangerous. They live amongst us. Some of us call them Demons, vampires but some of them should never be called….There is one man. A mysterious silver-eyed stranger who keeps appearing in her dreams. Who is he and what does he want? Is he a friend or an enemy?A/N: I may take two to three months before writing again i have some health issue i need to treat first. thank yoyu all my readers for supporting me lets meet when all goes well on my side bye love you all!!!
Nicklaus sat at the end of the table. To his right side, his family were sitting and to his left side the family who had saved him. They were dining and chatting happily. Nicklaus looked at each one of them and warmth filled his chest.Once in his life, he had been completely alone. He had no mother at all and no father who cared for him. His siblings were his main enemies and he had no friends. There was no one who knew what he was and no one had cared to know. Even he didn't know who he was. He had been confused, sad, lost and alone. He had given up on life. Until he met her. His wife.The woman who brought light in his dark world, the woman who brought happiness on his gloomy world. The woman who warmed his cold heart and comforted him when he was alone and sad and defended him when he was bullied. She took the darkness away and borough happiness and bliss in his life. Not only did she bring happiness, she gave him a priceless gift their daughter.Tiana. His joy and day light. His
When Tiana heard his footstep she looked up and put the letter away quickly. There were tears in her eyes that she tried to hide."Is your mother fine?" Nicklaus asked as he walked closer.Tiana nodded. "She is fine." She smiled giving him a comforting look. Nicklaus sat next to her on the bed. "When do you want to go and see her? Or do you want her to come here?” He asked hating to see her sad. They had planned to meet Tiana’s mother, but back then Tiana postponed it because of pregnancy and after giving birth raising a child took most of her time. Tiana mother was also queen mother and had a lot of thing to do back in Nephus. But the two would always write letter for each other.Tiana looked at Nicklaus, she has been planning to meet her mother but she had to postpone it. “Not any time soon, Briella is still young to travel.” She said then carefully she reached for Briella. Once Briella was in her arms a smile lit up her face."I can't believe she grew so fast. It feels like I gave
Six months later.The sun shone brightly in the blue sky and the warm seasonal breeze spread the scent of flowers in the air. But despite the beautiful weather and view, all Nicklaus could do was stare at his now six-month-old daughter in his arms. Nothing was more beautiful to him in this world.The last six months of his life had been a blessing. He was surrounded by people he cared for. His wife, his daughter, his mother even his father. The relationship between Nicklaus and his father had become better since that talk they had six months ago. Now Uziah was even living with them in the castle but sometime his parent would go back to their hidden nest. What more could Nicklaus wish for?Tiana was well and healthy, and an amazing mother. She was also a wise empress. Nicklaus was proud of his wife. Now being half demon, half witch, she became even stronger and emitted magnificence and confidence. Now he wasn't afraid to hurt her as before and they could go wide with their activities…
"Your Majesty. I need to clean the princess." The midwife said with a pleading look when Nicklaus didn't want to let go of his daughter.Tiana chuckled. "Okay Klaus give the baby to the midwife so she could clean her and then I can feed her.” She said and Nicklaus unwillingly handed Briella over to the midwife carefully.But he had forever to spend with these two precious people and he began by spending time with them today. He was still very emotional and all he wanted to do was hold both his daughter and wife in his arms. As they lay in their bed, Nicklaus leaned in and planted a kiss on Tiana’s forehead."Thank you for this beautiful gift. Love you so much wife." He said and then looked at their daughter who was sleeping between them."Love you too Klaus…" Was all Tiana said, as she was falling asleep as well. He could see the exhaustion on her face.Nicklaus kissed her on the forehead one more time before slowly getting out of bed. His mother had kept her distance, probably letti
And then the day came, after a few painful days, the pain hit Tiana like never before. She remembered telling the midwife to just take the baby out and make it all end and sometimes she really thought she would die. The pain was so much that she felt her mind go numb. Then she heard the cry of her child and the pain fled to the back of my head in a flash, so far back she didn't even know or care that she was in pain few seconds ago. The melodious cry of her baby was enough for her to forget all the pain she went through just seconds ago. All she wanted was to hold her child."You have given birth to a princess, Your Majesty." The midwife said sounding sympathetic. Everyone knew that Tiana always thought that her child was a boy while the emperor always wanted a girl and would always call it little princess and the couple would always end up quarrelling about the gender of their child. The midwife was just sympathetic because Tiana didn’t get a boy like she always wanted but a girl th
One night as Rita and Tiana spent time together but Rita seemed sad and absent. "What's wrong?" Tiana asked. But riata being Rita just shook her head. "Nothing.""Is it about your marriage? Did you and Kwan have a fight?""No, we didn’t have a fight, Kwan have been so sweet and understanding. It about my brother, I think he know about Kwan being a demon.” Rita said.And Tiana almost laughed out loud but pushed it down by coughing instead. She found it funny that this was the reason why rite was so distracted. Derek and Kwan had been together during the war and even if he didn’t know about Kwan’s true nature in the past, he would have learnt about it during the war in human land. so hearing Rita’s concern, Tiana found it cute but she could not blame her, the woman was not there during the war, and dint know what might have happened there so too her, she still thinks her brother who is the ruler of all werewolves doesn’t know about demons and that Kwan is one of them. So cute and innoce
Five-month later….Thing were in line, the affected kingdoms like Nephus and Zavion were already back in their feet. Human clan had Leo as their king with twelve other rulers of each state. And the same was for other clans too with Nicklaus and Tiana being the supreme leaders. Crystal city was back in its full glory under the leadership of Yael and Rex who were now married and Yael was expecting a child too. Everything was peaceful and harmonious and those who were not happy about unify of the land, were now happy about it after seeing and experiencing the benefit of it.On Tiana side, her pregnancy was now big and showy. Pregnancy was not easy as she thought. It may be a happy thing but it had its difficulties, it come with insecurities and body changes that first time may shock you and on top of that was fear, she realized that as her stomach grew. She became more and more afraid and worried, she was worried about all the things that could go wrong during labor. The stories she read
“You may live…”“Thank you so…” Rafael thanked Nicklaus cutting him from completing his word but was cut off by Nicklaus next words “but… you will show Leo all the hidden labs in this kingdom and other kingdoms. Don’t try to lie because I can read you mind. If you don’t want to die like your master… give us the name of all the hidden labs and tell us everything you know and you will live. You choice.” Nicklaus said leaving Rafael to Kwan who the handed him to Leo and his men. “He will give you names and places of all the hidden labs, destroy them and then you can see what to do with him.” Kwan told Leo before following Nicklaus.Nicklaus’ group didn’t lose much in the battle. The casualties they suffered in terms of deaths and injured were still in an acceptable range. And those who were injured and died were the vampires. The demons had no casualties on their side. Gabriel Abel Noah and Maria were dead and Rafael was imprisoned by Leo as they continued uncovering secret layouts of N
