When he went to the underworld to fight for the thorn, he had fought with elite demons that protected the king and devoured their power and grew stronger making him almost same level as the king back then. With his determination, he went head on with the ruler and being the master of devouring power, he had managed to suck out all of the previous king’s power and energy dry and when he had succeeded, the ruler had turned into nothing but a pile of bones and skin before busting to flame and vanishing. The power of the ruler was powerful and he didn’t have it easy controlling it at first but later on cultivated those powers to obey him making him most feared ruler of demons ever. When Nicklaus heard his father’s story he decided that was what he was going to do to Cyrus, he was going to devour his power but unlike his father who was all alone he was not he had his father to help him take most of the power. Though he had not tried it on anyone he was determined to do it.Uziah had warne
Nicklaus could feel himself getting lost in his own mind and he knew he would not stand a chance from this kind of power that was now owning him. He had been carried away by his urge to kill Cyrus that he had let go of his father’s hand the only thing that as balancing the power and making him sane. There was only one thing he could do now before he descends completely into madness. He shut his eyes and emptied his mind and let the small consciousness that was left in him fall deeper and deeper into the endless void that was within him. And then as he had expected, he saw what he was looking for at the very bottom of it. A woman who always make his heart stop, her smile warm as the morning sun and her eye that were shining bright like the stars. The woman who make him sane. To avoid losing himself Nicklaus decided to remember his wife he knew the power of love he had for Tiana would make him sane and think of something. But the memory was not enough, he needed to see her, he naviga
Uziah could not do it, he could not kill his son. He knew Reilla would kill him and worse leave him, but he could do something for his son now that he could help him with no consequences."Wait a minute…. I think I can still draw some power from you’re as I am powerful enough to take it in …" he said."I told you. It's too late. And I am not going to regret it. Not when I have already come this far. This is the only way to end Cyrus and his demon power and thus, protecting Tiana and the phoenix witches… so long as this power is in me it will take over one day and do the unthinkable. And no you can’t take in some more power as it will unleash the other that you have struggled to cage and you will be corrupted. This is my decision." Nicklaus said trying to take Uziah’s hand that was already on him away."And I have said I won’t let that happen… when you came looking for me I told you that you could use me right…. So let me take those powers. Just say this is my way of helping you… and I
"It's time for you to leave, Tiana and your kid is waiting for you. Don’t make her wait for long… don’t make her sad anymore…" Uziah’s expression became serious. His eyes were blank with no emotion. "Trust me, everything will be okay."The longer he spent these moments with Nicklaus, talking to him, looking at him, helping him, he felt better and the guilt he have been carrying for centuries were somehow being pacified. He felt as though his guilt and shame had slowly regressed and become a lot better compared to before he had meet him.He remember the first time his son approached him asking why he abandon him, he felt bad, ashamed and guilty that was why he didn’t ask for forgiveness coz he knew he didn’t deserve it at all. So helping his son with this small matter was like his way of saying am sorry.Uziah knew his son may be cold on the outside but he was kind to people he cared for, so when he heard his son anxious voice he knew his son had started accepting him as part of his
As soon as everyone came out from the dungeon, the quaking of the earth only became stronger, more recurrent, and more violent with the passing of every minute. Everyone could tell how fierce the battle being fought was underground.Everyone was concentrating on what would happen next that no one not even Tiana who was busy monitoring the fight saw it. Nicklaus had gone next to were the demon lords were, this was the first time he was meeting Kwan’s father but not first time meeting the others.When the demon lords saw him, he was still in his demon form, they bow to him, Nicklaus nodded slightly and then faced Kwan’s father. Emperor Wang looked at his cousin’s son and nodded to him. Nicklaus didn’t want to waste time so he went straight to the point, “how can we save Uziah? Am sure all of you know that is demon power taken form the core of hell, is there a way to help Uziah?”Emperor Wang looked at Nicklaus for a while the responded, “we can help but we will need more demons, this po
When Tiana had opened her eye Nicklaus saw it as a chance to go in with the fellow demons. They teleported into the dungeon and saw how vicious the war was, but they didn’t have the time to think or pounder on it. Uziah was still attacking the griffins like crazy. Nicklaus timed when his mad father was concentrating on one of the griffin, he approached Yalck, “I need your help.”As if the griffin heard him, he roar lowly and Nicklaus continued, “make the other griffin leave first so we can help him.” Yalck heed to his command and made other griffin leave. Now the seven demons and Yalck were the only one in the dungeon.When Tiana saw that the other griffins were coming out, she waited for Yalck but it didn’t appear. Yalck was trailing behind other griffins acting as the rear guard. The mad Uziah seemed hell-bent to bring the great dark brown griffin down. As it was prevent him from harming other griffins, so he took all that on Yalck.Seeing that Yalck was not coming out from the sink
Tiana was getting pressure from the witches, each voicing his or her idea.“While they are still preoccupied with transferring power to Yalck, this is the best time for you to trap and cage them inside a box. Demons are cunning creatures" Yadier continued and she knew he was right. This might be the only chance for her to aim her spell at him and trap him."He is right, Your majesty. You need to decide now. If they takes control of all the griffins and have them all go against us… things might go beyond miserable for us. They may come at us witches and eradicate all of us" The other phoenix witches encourage her with earnestness.Though seven hundred years ago, the war was not cause by the demons but the witches had experience extinction brought by powerful magic and seeing the demon passing such tremendous power made them scared and act intuitively. They didn’t want any war that may eradicate them completely and war with majestic creatures like griffins was a suicide mission.Inaudib
The dark mist that was radiating overwhelmingly from around Yalck’s body became thicker and the great ancient griffin now looked almost like a shadow that had emerged from the lowest depths of hell itself. Uziah and the seven demons on the other hand had started to lose the darkness that had been enveloping them a while ago bit by bit. It was as if Yalck had consumed all his darkness by now. The beam of dark power that initially was coming from the seven demons palm slowly thinned out and Yalck thundered mightily, spreading out his magnificent wings, and the shadow it cast on the ground was dark and menacing. "Your majesty!" Yadier voice echoed out. "The griffin! Aim for the griffin!" Tiana had already moved to target her hands towards Yalck before Yadier even finished shouting out his words. She could see that it was Yalck now that the darkness was trying to control. She did not know if the demons had forced his dark power onto Yalck or if Yalck was the one who had intentionally pu

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?

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
