Lord Adonis and Pearldina walked into Audrey's ward, she was the same. Burning out and sweating profusely. Lord Adonis had watched many suffer immense pains watching Audrey groans in pains made his heart ache. Maybe it was a good thing, he had taken her voice, he imagined how loud she and how sore her throat would've been from the torture of the pain. Sedating her was not an option so Audrey had to go through this suffering all by herself until a solution is found. He had to put his emotions in check as he watched Audrey whined in pains.Pearldina moved towards Audrey, she could feel the heat emanating from Audrey's body even without touching her. She looked at Audrey keenly trying hard to figure out if she was the same girl Lord Adonis had rescued from the water. If Lord Adonis was going against his nature for her, then she must do everything to have Audrey back on her feet even if it was temporary and use her as a bait to get her freedom. There must be a way to set herself free fr
Genevieve and Swift had concluded their plans on summoning ichneumon. It was going to be a full moon the next day. It was their only chance at survival if they're to keep their heads intact, they've made up their mind to take it and everything was going according to their plans. The only thing remaining was taking care of Osman so that they could have undenied access to his underlings as food to Ichneumon."Once I take this," Genevieve was referring to the enhancing drink in front of her. "There is no going back on our mission""What is that?" Swift asked curiously looking at the cup that housed the dark drink."Oh, it's an elixir to boost my powers for few minutes while Ichneumon leads us to where Elkanel is.""I knew you would come up with something, you're a indeed the greatest witch I've known all my life" Swift gave Genevieve a smile that was filled with admiration."This is no time for flattery, we have our necks hanging remember?" Genevieve responded in a bid to refute his clai
The death kingdom is supervised by three archangents who are subordinates to the king of death in person of Lord Adonis. The three archangents were gifted in several ways and they used their gifts in serving the king of death.Azrail gift were his beautiful eyes, he could see farer and better than legions of death agents packed together. His precision and accuracy made him the envy of many as they not match him, comparing him to an eagle was an insult to the gift he bore. He was the most gentle and calm of the trio.Pearldina, the only female archagent was gifted in the art of healing, she was vast in medicinal knowledge and could tell a sickness from a glance. Her body is also immune to different types of poison. No one dare cross her path rashly without first preparing for the worst.Acris gift was his impeccable and brute strength, His strength was his biggest weapon. Everyone feared him and he was constantly being compared to his brother Lord Adonis since they share the same bloo
Kalta drove as fast as he could, he could not bear seeing Azrail his master in a state of despair. The earlier Acris got on his feet, the earlier his master regains his sight and the earlier he will be able to serve beside Azrail once again just like the good old times. Right from the beginning, Lord Adonis felt more like a stranger than a master to him. He had only consider Azrail as his one and only true master, it doesn't matter to him if his master had another master.Acris was amazed at the pace of development of the human world. "Humans are indeed unpredictable" he found himself saying. "Who would have thought they would live in such a beautiful time as this?" Soon, they were greeted by the roaring sound of the body of water."We are here" Kalta announced."I guess nothing remain the same forever, even here in the human world. The changes are evident." Acris body was still very sore, he tried to move on his own but couldn't. he removed the necklace that was hanging by his neck
"Oh no, what do you suggest we do now my lord? Should I find you a safe place to stay while you nurse yourself back to health?" Kalta suggested in a calm and convincing tone, he need not to be told that he was on his own from that point. It was better to let go of Acris who was beginning to be more a burden than helping him."No place is truly safe except home""What do you mean my lord? When you mean home, are you referring to-""Yes, I need to get into the palace of ice and soul.""What?" Klata asked shocked, he had expected Acris to go undercover." I know what you're thinking, but it is very important for me to talk to Azrail in person before drawing out a plan. Take me to him.""I'm sorry I do not weigh such powers to take you to him my lord, since our departure from the death kingdom, there has been a barricade mere agents like me dare not thread but archagents are exceptions seeing how my master was able to open the barricade for me to access him.""So you're saying I can only
"Here are the items you requested for" Kalta handed them over to Acris with a grin on his faceAcris noticed Klata was smiling."What happened?" Acris asked. "You seems to be in a better mood than you left.""I made an acquittance.""So you mean while I was all by myself, you were out there making some new friends?" Acris could not hide his disappointment."That acquittance gave me this" Klata gave the ointment to Acris."What is this""An ointment that could help with your numbness""Is this why you're all smiles?""I'm not smiling my lord""You'd better be careful with your frozen heart, Adonis won't spare you a second glance the moment you're caught in the act" Acris warns."What I feel for her is admiration, besides I think she is someone way out of my league."How do you know that?" Acris asked as he collected the ointment from Klata but as soon as the the ointment touched his hands, he immediately sensed a sense of deja vu. "Because she is extraordinary." Klata replied but noti
Pearldina's spirit was once again broken. She took her seat at the reception hanging her head down. She had thought of using Audrey as a distraction to plan her escape but who would've thought Lord Adonis would set a barrier? "When will this nightmare be over?"Her thoughts were dissolved by a running nurse who had worries written all over her face. "What's going on?" Seeing that the nurse was running from the direction of Audrey's ward, her mind quickly went to Audrey. "I hope she isn't dead on my watch?" Pearldina panicked. She stood up from her seat and made for Audrey's ward to see what was happening"Have you heard?" The worried nurse asked"What is it this time? You ran like it was an emergency" Sophia one of the two nurses at the desk sounded pissed at the running nurse insensitivity."Of course it is emergency, do you know Doctor Kyle is dead?""Why do you mean by that Coby? I saw him yesterday, he was hale and hearty" Morgana the other nurse who had been observing silence bro
Pearldina trembles as she watched Audrey but could not move an inch. "I've always known you're not ordinary even before we met but what are you really?" She has never seen anything like it before and didn't know how to approach her. "How can a fragile and mere mortal like you have a yin and yang so fierce?In the spur of the moment, Audrey sat up as though nothing was wrong with her all these while but the blazing fire in her eyes remained. She couldn't explain how she was feeling but somehow she knew she was not the same anymore, she felt some kind of break out from within which made her felt so strong and powerful.Pearldina looked away, afraid if she kept on staring at Audrey's eyes she could go blind.Audrey could feel herself shivering from the cold emanating from her body but she wasn't bothered by it. "Where am I?" That was the first statement that came out of Audrey's mouth on noticing she was in a different environment. "In an hospital" Pearldina found her voice.Though Audre
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
