Bethany sat on her bed with her open laptop on her thighs. The news of the accident was all over the internet, but despite the rage, she did not care about the accident. All she thought about was Adonis and whatever it was he had done to her. She could still feel it in her body, the magic he had used to heal her. "Or, you could just be making this up, Bethany." She said to herself when she could not imagine herself saying this to her friends or anyone else. No one had seen him or mentioned it, but she had felt his presence and essence on all of her body. "What if you call him and ask him? You may just run mad if you don't find out the truth of what happened." She said to herself as she craved Adonis' voice. When she had stepped onto the bus earlier in the day, she could have sworn that she never wanted anything to do with Adonis ever again, but right now, she was craving his voice.Finally, letting out a groan, she picked up her phone and dialed his number which she had saved in
Kalta's face widened into a grin as he held the potion he had just finished preparing. "Adonis, if you are back to take this throne from me, be certain I won't give it up without a fight. This potion might not be able to stop you completely, but it would inhibit your growing human body." He chuckled darkly. Just then, he heard a knock on his chamber's door.Quickly, he hid the potion in his inner pocket and faced the door. "Come in." He ordered. Tarada stepped into the chambers with his head bowed low."I hail thee, the end of all beginnings," Tarada said, nervous, but certain that his life was going to get spared"Do you have the kid and his mother?" Lord Kalta asked. Tarada shook his head. "Unfortunately, no my Lord…""How dare you? I thought I left clear instructions to you not to come back here if you do not have the boy and his mother in your possession." Kalta yelled in fury. His eyes glowed red and Tarada was visibly shaken, knowing that all it takes is one wrong move for
"I am sorry Mom, but you can not come with me," Adonis replied his mother with a shake of his head. "What do you mean by that? You have never been there. I have to go with you and protect you." Audrey replied, not wanting to have her kid out of her grasp. "Mom, I can take care of myself alright? Moreover, this is dangerous for you. I don't want you to get hurt." "I know that son, but I won't get hurt, I promise. I have you right by my side, trust me, I know so much about that place. You would need me. Allow me to help you, son. I have kept you in the dark for too long." Audrey pleaded, knowing that was probably going to run mad if she didn't stay with Adonis to protect him. Adonis stared at his mother and knew that she was not going to relent. But the Palace of Ice and soul sounded so dangerous and he did not want to increase the stakes against him. "Mom, this sounds very dangerous. You do not have to worry too much. I am a smart kid. I would be able to find my way around. You ha
Adonis' rage was over the roof. He could not believe what he was seeing. He refused to believe that what he was seeing was happening. But the smug look on Kalta's face as he drank from the slow beating heart in his hand told him that this was happening. His mother was dead and Kalta had just killed her. With rage and pain so powerful, he expended so much heat that a lot of the Death Agents around him sizzled out to dust. Bethany stared wide-eyed as the boy she had come to love so much and care about was showing a part of him she had never seen before. She had always known there was something odd and weird about him, but she never would have imagined to see him this powerful. Immediately, she ran behind Kalta's throne, shielding herself from the rage of Adonis' power. Kalta saw the display of power from Adonis and was not perturbed. He knew it was the rage and anger inside of him fueling him in that manner. Adonis was still a kid, and now, with Audrey's heart and blood in his body
As soon as Adonis realized that Kalta's plan had failed, he knew he had to act fast or run the risk of losing his life. He had no idea how that attack on him had gotten destroyed, but this was the wrong time to try and figure it out. Immediately, he gathered his wits formed a ball of his own, and surrounded Kalta with flames. Kalta stared at the flame and tried to quench it with a ball of ice, but was shocked to see that the fire did not budge.Immediately, Tarada and the rest of the Death Agents rushed off to Adonis and made to go to battle with him. "If you take one more step towards me, I would send a deadly blow to your master. If you want him to live, stand back." Adonis ordered. The death agents shared looks amongst themselves and knew that they could not risk having their master die under their watch. Gently and delicately, they stepped back.Adonis saw that as his chance and quickly called out to Bethany. "Bethany, let's get out of here."She quickly ran out of where she
Desmond was about to close his eyes as he so much needed sleep when a knock sounded on his door. "Come on now. Who the hell is there?" He cursed as he climbed off his bed and grabbed his shirt from the sofa.The knock came again and he shook his head at the person's impatience. "Chill, all right. Now who is there?" He asked as he neared the door. "It is me, Adonis." Came the reply. Desmond immediately opened his door and heard who it was. Adonis and Bethany scampered into the house as soon as the doors were open. "Hey, Kiddo, how are you?" Desmond asked taking note of the looks of the two kids. He wondered who the girl was, but felt certain she had to be someone special and close to Adonis. "Are you guys okay?" He asked when he saw their tired and bloody body. "What the hell happened to you guys?" "We have been to hell and back," Adonis answered in one breath. "I have to call your mom and report this to her," Desmond said and quickly made for his cell phone. "There would be n
Bethany stood in front of Uncle Desmond’s door with a smile on her face. She was meeting Adonis today and she felt a happiness she could not explain. Despite the warning from her parents not to stay out late, she was willing to spend all day with Adonis.“Hey, Bethany. You are here?” Uncle Desmond asked as soon as he opened the door.“Yes, sir. Is Adonis in?” She asked, craning her neck into the house to see if she could catch sight of Adonis.Desmond stared at the girl and a small smile played around the corners of his lips. He knew love when he saw it and he was certain the two kids would have a beautiful love story. He hoped they would not be like him and ruin a beautiful love story.“He is in. Come in.” He said and stepped away from the door, giving her more room to step in.“Thank you.” She said and stepped in."He is in his bedroom. You can go and meet him." Desmond brought her out of her thoughts.“Oh, yes.” She nodded and went in the direction Uncle Desmond had pointed her to.
Adonis stared wide-eyed at the glowing golden orb of fire that had materialized out of Bethany. It was very similar to the golden orb that had destroyed Kalta's deadly blow to him.“What is that?” Adonis asked, surprise evident in him.Bethany stared at him and shrugged, showing her confusion. “To be honest, I don’t know what it is, but it was deadly and powerful the first time it happened. I was so scared to be honest that I hated myself. I guess it was my use of magic that had caused you to use yours. This is why I believe this whole thing is my fault.” She explained.Adonis finally understood why she was insisting this was her fault and honestly, he felt some sort of relief getting the news. Finally, he was not the only one with some sort of magic of his own. Maybe he was not so different and weird after all. Even if he kept her away from him, there was no guarantee that Kalta and his men wouldn't come for her and her magic. The best way he could protect her right now was to keep h
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
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
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
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
