A strong rush of adrenaline filled Adonis as he ended the lives of the death agents in the place. His entire being was filled with anger and hatred, he found his anger depleting as he sniffed life out of the death agents, so he continued to sizzle them to nothingness, completely ignoring Kalta. Talina felt super proud of Adonis, especially now that she saw a strong possibility of them winning this battle. She knew that with most of the death agents out of the way, killing Kalta would be easier. The moment she saw Kalta stand up from his throne with a death glare in his eyes, she immediately activated her shield. She knew how sneaky Kalta could be and she was not ready to risk anything being around him. "Kalta, you better give up now. Your men are retreating and soon enough, you will be left alone with no protection." She yelled at him."You know, I can never give up, but be certain that you will never see your parents ever again." He said and balled his hands into fists and began t
Adonis ran up to Bethany's parents to ensure they were safe. If Bethany was going to give herself up for her parents, he may as well ensure that they do live and that her sacrifice is not in vain. He could never trust Kalta. The blood-sucking demon could decide to kill them even after having Bethany and it was the more reason he wanted Kalta dead.Just as he was about to take them somewhere safe, Bethany's mom whispered in a very weak voice, "What is that bastard going to my daughter?"Adonis immediately spun his head in the direction of Kalta and his body grew weak from the sight before him. Kalta's lips were buried deep into Bethany's neck, drinking her blood. "Kalta!" He yelled and stretched forth his hands, this time around ready to bring down the entire palace and the world way if he had to. Everything in the direction of Adonis' hands began to freeze, traveling so fast that there was barely any time to react to the ice cold that took over everything. But not Kalta. The power
Bethany looped her hand around the crook of Adonis' arm as they walked down the path.It was winter now and though the roads were filled with snow, her life was filled with joy. She was happy, more happy than she had ever been. With Adonis in her life, she had had beautiful experiences and she wanted those experiences to continue. Well, today another beautiful experience was set to occur and she did not know how to react to it."Do not worry. You would not miss me too much." Talina replied back to her raging thoughts."I would definitely miss you. You have been in my body since I was a baby, how do I live without you?" Bethany said to her."You have Adonis now and now, your body is sitting enough to function on its own. Most importantly, it is time for me to get the rest I have so desperately wanted." Talina replied in Bethany's head."Are you okay?" Adonis squeezed Bethany's hand. "I am just asking Talina if it is necessary for her to leave my body? I am already used to having her
"Who... Who are you? How did you get in?" The aged man asked. He was bed ridden, his eyes were heavy voice was weak and his hands were shaking, trembling even as he shivered from what seemed like a bad cold. "I came in through the air" The other man responded, his voice filled with the manliness that his appearance alone could show. He was dressed in a three piece black suit and his eyes were of a special color, they were not black, not brown, not blue and not green, it was red and that was the natural color of his eyeballs."Through the air?" The old man's voice croaked."Yes and through the air will I take you away""Who are you?" The old man shivered with fear as the other man approached him."I am Adonis" "Get out of my home, young man!" He tried to sound firm."Young man?""I have been alive since the beginning of the earth" he stretched his hands out and grabbed the trembling hands of the old man.His hands were cold, bloody cold."Wh... Who or what are you?""Are you life?"
Audrey dialed the contact yet again and waited with her anxious heart, for him to pick the call but there was still no response.""Oh no!"" Beads of sweats formed on her forehead."Desmond, please pick up" she begged as if he could hear her as she redialed the contact that she had saved with 'my heartbeat' with an heart emoji to it.She had been calling him the entire day but he was not picking up her calls still. She had sent several messages to him but he was not responding to her messages either. "He... He probably got into some trouble. He would be back soon" Audrey tried to tell herself but she knew that was most probably a lie to comfort her aching heart.Desmond was her first boyfriend, he was her first love and they had been dating for two years. Desmond was not so well to do and she was the same. They both had average lives except for the fact that her average was better than his average.For the past six months, Audrey had heard different advise from her friends, telling he
Audrey's eyes opened slowly. She looked around her and figured that she was lying on a bench. She slowly got up and sat up on the bench.She took her hands into her wet hair and wondered how she had left the middle of the alley to sleeping on the bench. She knew someone must have helped her but she was not so grateful for that person's help.Now that she was alive and awake, what was she supposed to do next?She looked to her side and found her phone and her bag. It was a complete surprise that it had not been stolen by some of the boys living around the alley yet.She picked up her phone and turned it on. She raked her hair backwards, realizing that her phone was having some issues from having stayed in the rain for so long.She groaned and after a couple attempts. She was able to unlock the phone and she had a message, it was from Desmond.Her heart skipped a beat as she hurriedly opened the message. Her phone malfunctioned for about a minute before she was finally able to successfu
Audrey's life flashed in her face, old memories playing in her head as the waters began to quickly flood her nose."Granny!!!" Audrey called out as she ran into her grandmother's arm.Jumping into her grandmother's arm everyday she came back from work had been nice therapy for Audrey."My beautiful sunshine" replied Henrietta, her granny. Henrietta would never get enough of her grand daughter. Henrietta and Audrey would get locked in a tight hug."Did you miss me granny?" Audrey would ask, giving a her a childlike look.Henrietta would never be able to hold back, seeing that look, she would always burst into laughter."I missed you so much, child" she would admit while painting Audrey's face with kisses.A tear slid out of Audrey's eyes into the waters as her heart squeezed in pains.Audrey felt the natural instincts to struggle but she did not as another memory came replaying in her head."I love you so much Audrey" it was a memory of Desmond, the one who had caused all of these pain
Lord Adonis stared at the umbrella he had earlier taken from the bridge and he remembered the girl he has saved two consecutive times in just one day. She desperately was seeking to end her own life while he was consistently saving her against his wish. What an irony!Lord Adonis took the umbrella and hid it in his safe.***The sun was rising and the sounds of birds chirping could be heard from a distance.Audrey tried to open her eyes but had to shut it immediately as she felt her head banging. 'Where am I? Am I dead? Is it over now?' She asked herself multiple questions at a time.Audrey tried to open her eyes again but this time very slowly. She was welcomed by the sight and noise of water. The events of the previous day came replaying slowly in her mind.Who was the man that had come to her rescue?His eyes were crimson red and his body was so cold.Again, she saw someone else or was it a mermaid? Or was it just her imagination?She was jolted out of her blurry memory by an awake

A strong rush of adrenaline filled Adonis as he ended the lives of the death agents in the place.

Talina felt super proud of Adonis, especially now that she saw a strong possibility of them winning this battle.

Talina saw the fear in the eyes of the death agents and wondered what was going on. The ones around her had all stopped in their tracks and were exchanging looks with one another. She immediately swung her head in the direction where this fear was emanating from and found that more than half of Kalta's men had been frozen to death by Adonis's magic. "Great job!" She praised him and took on a defensive stance at the rest of the death agents. "Come on. I can't wait to kill all of you." "You all have the chance to leave here with your lives intact. Do not allow a coward like Kalta to ruin your lives." Adonis warned the rest of the death agents who were standing by the other side contemplating if they should fight him or not.The death agents exchanged looks among themselves and stared at one another weighing their options of of living or fighting to their certain death. Kalta saw the decision his men were struggling to make and knew that if he did not do something really quick, this b
Kalta's blood boiled as he realized it had been a full day and Bethany and Adonis were not at his palace yet. Bethany was supposed to be back here, begging him to release her parents and willingly offer her heart and her blood to him. He stared at her mother who had been in the trance-like look for hours. She had definitely made the connection and except if Bethany did not care about her parents, she was supposed to be here. Well, there was nothing a little more pain could not guarantee. He thought and squeezed his arms at the woman’s body. She let out a loud yell of pain and Mr. Blake fell to the floor and clasped tightly to his hand. "Please, have mercy on my wife. You have put her in a lot of pain already." The man begged. "Well, your daughter does not think I have put her in enough pain. All of these would kindly end if your daughter comes here now. It is all in her hands." He chuckled and tightened his fist harder on the woman's body. The entire palace of Ice and soul shook w
Talina stared at the tiring look on Adonis face and knew that if they were going to face Kalta like this, they might just be finished in seconds. She knew Adonis was powerful, but he had yet to harness and master his powers and if he wanted to defeat Kalta at his palace, then he needed to put some more effort in. The problem however was that they had no time and her body was already getting weaker from the Kalta was sending her way.She tried to convey her disappointment to him, but the pain rolling off her body did not permit her to talk. Bethany was in so much pain and it was taking a toll on her."I am so sorry," Adonis said as he rushed to her. He hated to see her in pain and it was weakening him in ways he could not explain. It was the more reason he could not channel his energy in the right direction right now. "You'd better be, because if those weak blows of yours are what you want to win Kalta with, then I am sorry to tell you, but we would be toast as soon as we enter into
Kalta watched the man beg him a thousand times to have mercy on his wife. He could see the love between them and it reminded him so much of his love affair with Talina. *Fifty Years Ago*He had been a low-ranking death agent and as it was usual for death agents of his rank, he was bullied and sent off to silly assignments. On this day, he was returning from an assignment when he came in contact with some powerful witches. He had not been scared of them as he was a death agent, but when they launched an attack on him, he knew he had to fight back. Unfortunately for him, his powers were no match for the witches. He was on the brink of death and was getting ready to breathe his last when he saw a swift flash of magical energy swizz in. The witches were confused by her sudden appearance and she used that to her advantage, taking a swift blow at them. Before the witches could make sense of what she was doing, she had sent them all to the ground. “Who are you?” He asked when she offered
Adonis fluttered his eyes open and was welcomed by the cool sweet ambience that was the fairy's house. There was peace in the air and everything was happy. He could feel the happy energy emanating from this place and he wished he had known this place sooner. He sat up and touched the wound on his shoulder. It was almost completely healed and he could use his arms as he wanted. “Ah! I see you are awake.” The fairy walked up to him with a smile on her face. "Yes, I am. Thank you so much for helping my wound heal." Adonis answered, his heart swelling with gratitude. “Kid, you should not thank me. You should thank Talina. But no matter what, ensure that the death that pursued you in here doesn’t follow us as well.” She warned. Adonis swallowed at the woman's word. It has never been his intention for anyone to be hurt because of him and he was certain he would be out of their village as soon as possible to avoid Kalta from hurting these kind hearted people. "I promise, no harm would c
Kalta stormed from one corner of his room to the next. This was not how he had imagined any of this playing out. He was supposed to kill the Espino and be the strongest being in the world.He was supposed to be celebrating his victory at this point, but here he was with no Espino. To make matters even worse, Adonis was with her and he knew Talina hated him enough to want to kill herself just so that Adonis would get the power he so craves. "No, I would never allow this to happen." He yelled and ran a hand on his study desk, throwing off a couple of books seated there. He let out a breath and slumped on his chair, knowing that much, if not all, of these was his fault. If he had just plunged the knife into her heart earlier while she was still bound to the floor, he would not be going through this. It was too bad that he had allowed his emotions to cloud his sense of reasoning."If only you had been decisive enough, Kalta. If only you had kept your head in the game, none of this would
