Alex slept late that night. He already knows what to do, but he has to come up with a good plan to watch over the girl without making it so obvious. On top of all, he needs to tell his Alpha about this. Dimitri will definitely wonder why he frequents the cell and without a proper explanation, Dimitri might become suspicious of his actions. Alex would not any of the sorts, at least not when he could not explain the whispers very well. Not to Dimitri who hardly ever believes in god.

Alex woke up early the next day. He needs to prepare for what he is about to do. The best time to talk about it with Dimitri is over breakfast. And he needs to get in contact with the sacrifice as early as possible. The sooner he gets the girl’s trust, the sooner he will get his job done, and the sooner they will be able to hold the ritual. Alex washed his face and prepared himself for

breakfast. Then he left his room and took the shortest hall towards the dining room.

    “All right,” Alex said as he saw that Amanda was ready to listen to his tale, “I shall begin. . .Even before the time of the First Demon King, our people have already been living in the forest. We – the Werebeasts – along with the other non-humans and half-humans lived in the vast forest that was provided by the Earth Mother. Each race was given portions of the forest to govern, maintain, and protect. Of course, given that each portion was equally abundant to the rest of the forest, the races mostly only tended to themselves. But of course, that abundance was short-lived.“The Races started to multiply and we started to need more and more resources, and requiredmore land. That was when the races started to think about expanding. Although there weretensions, there wasn’t really any real threat by then. There were still enough spaces between the territories. I bet the gods have thought about that.&l

  • Demon King: The Werewolf And The Lily   Plot Of The Humans

    The Demon King wreaked havoc on the whole continent around the great forest during his time. It took the humans about a century to actually rebuild their cities and another 50 years for the cities to be the thriving and busy places that they are now. After almost 500 years, the humans have almost forgotten about the pain of the experience and it has only become a part of their stories, their legends, and the experience has been reduced to nothing but bedtime stories for children.Humans desired nothing but peace after the Great War. Although they had reservations towards the other races that joined the Demon King’s army, they were too busy rebuilding the lives that they had very little energy to discriminate against other races. But as the human cities improved, and their lives became better, their hatred towards the other races resurfaced, and from the moment their empires grew they have begun to treat the nonhuman races poorly.For decades, the nonh

Tell me!” the Emperor asked like a child.“Ok. This is really quite an amazing find and I am pretty sure that you will change your mind about the whole tale once you hear me out,” the steward explained.“Just say it already, don’t leave me hanging!” the Emperor replied like a child in tantrums.“Alright, here goes,” the steward replied and explained what he found out about the AdhradhDorcha and the Demon King – about what happened after the fall of the Demon King and the artifact that has been lost to the ages.The Emperor’s mou

    “Do you have any news about the human soldiers?” The Werewolf elder asked the leader of thescouts.“Yes,” The scout leader replied and continued, “The scouts reported that the humans seem to be looking for some sort of a lost artifact. They said they heard the humans talking about the said artifact to from the time of the Demon King and that maybe-” The scout paused, hesitating to continue the report.“What’s the matter?” the elder asked, “carry on.”“Well,” the scout leader replied and cleared his throat, “They say that maybe we have the artifact and we are hiding it.”“Hmmm. . .” the elder merely hummed and remained silent for a bit, “Interesting. This couldbecome troublesome.” There was a long silence. The scout leader is waiting for orders. He knows that the elder still has things that he wants to say. H

    The Human Emperor looked outside the window of his Royal Carriage as they went on their way to the Beastfolk settlements. After not hearing any news from the messengers he decided, against advice from his council, to personally meet with the representatives of the beast-folk and talk about what was happening. He jolted up and was taken from his reverie as the carriage suddenly halted to a stop.“What is the matter?” he called out to his coachman.“The convoys in front suddenly stopped, Sir,” the coachman replied, “It seems like we are metwith a roadblock,” “A roadblock?” the Emperor asked, preparing himself in case of an attack, “Are they, bandits? Or beggars?” There was no answer. The coachman seems to be talking with the convoy outside. He was forced to get up and go out of his carriage.It is times like this when he wished for the steward to be with him, but he left hi

    Dimitri is troubled. The voices have started calling out to him again and he thought that hismother’s lullaby would drown it out. He could still hear his mother’s voice singing but the whispers have gotten even louder that he could hardly make out the song that his mother sings. The cacophony of whispers and his mother’s singing sounded like an orchestra of people playing different scores and Dimitri felt like his head is about to explode.He tried to cover his ears but the sound came from within him. No amount of blocking can silence the voices that come from within someone’s head. Dimitri tried to scream to drown the voices, but it was his own voice that was silenced and muffled instead. He decided that he needed help from his mother. He looked around but the whole place was black.It was not dark, it was pitch black. In fact, everything around him seemed to have disappeared, leaving him in an endless void – Alone with

    “So, how did you get out of the forest?” Amanda asked Alex as he took a break from talking,“There should have been some humans who went after you, right?”“Yes,” Alex replied and continued his tale, “There were humans that we're able to catch up to our group. But they were nothing that the females of our tribes cannot stop.”Amanda noted the glitter of pride in Alex’s eyes. It was not the pride that comes from egoism; it was one that came from his faith towards his race.“No one expected for it to happen that night,” Alex went on, “I can remember playing with the others during the day. We were talking about our dreams. Dimi- I mean Dimitri made us loyal to him that day when he told us what he wanted for the village. We were all drawn by his dreams that we all swore our allegiance to him then and there.“No one could have predicted what happened that night.

    Amanda woke up the next day feeling refreshed. She has found a new motivation and she would tell Alex about it. But she also has to look for the best opportunity to do so. She is still not really sure if Alex is really a friend that she can trust, or if he is just doing it for the sake of his Alpha.Of course, it also goes without saying that the plan might even offend Alex, the only prospective Ally that she has that is already close to the Ringleader. She needs to play her cards right if she ever hopes to have the chance to get away from this place again.The Harpy brought their breakfast in and they had a relatively quiet one that day. Amanda barely spoke and they only talked about the weather and what the plans for the day were. Then suddenly, a thought crossed Amanda’s mind.“Do you think Alex is really a friendly person?” Amanda suddenly asked the Harpy and her friend was caught off guard. It took quite some time for the quest

    Amanda woke up from the sound of the food trolley being wheeled in. Half expecting that it was the centaur that is bringing her breakfast in, Amanda jolted up as she realized that it was the Harpy. Her friend silently prepared the meal. She is trying not to meet Amanda’s gaze and is just putting all her attention into preparing their meal.Amanda took the breakfast with the Harpy silently. She understands how her friend feels and does not want to put her on the spot by asking her about the issue out of the blue.Amanda finished her meal and placed her tray on top of the trolley, making enough noise to get the attention of the Harpy who is eating at a distance. The Harpy jerked and looked at Amanda, she seemed to have finished eating before Amanda did but did not move an inch from where she is sitting down. Amanda and the Harpy looked at each other, trying to wait for whoever would give in and break the silence. Being the more mature between them, Amanda gave way an

    There was an awkward silence. Amanda could not believe what she just heard. She did not expect Dimitri to feel that kind of insecurity. She thought that he was always sure of himself, that he always believed that people would choose to be with him no matter what. The unexpected gap in personality made Amanda’s heart skip a bit even for a little. Her face started to flush again.“So,” Dimitri continued, “If you had no choice but to choose between the two of us. Who will you choose?” Amanda could not answer. She could not even speak. She hates being put in a spot like this. She has always been asked this question even back in the village. The boys who liked her would all ask her to choose someone from them. But she knew that most of those were just superficial. She understood that not all of those boys liked her for who she really is, they only liked her because she was pretty.“As I said,” Amanda replied. “I could not choo

    Amanda opened her eyes and found herself in a different area of the forest. Apparently, Dimitri took a break and decided to rest somewhere. Amanda could not see him anywhere but he might be close, looking after her while she slept. At least he gives her some privacy to do so. Amanda looked around and realized that the area of the forest is quite familiar. In fact, it was too eerily familiar: it was the place by the lake, the area where she would go with her parents.“Amanda?” Amanda froze as she heard a familiar voice, one that she did not think she would hear again ever, “There you are, come here. What are you doing here?”“Mother?” Amanda is confused, the person standing in front of her is definitely her mother, and she is too real to be just a phantom, “What are you doing here mother? I thought you were”“What are you talking about, you silly,” Amanda’s mother continued to speak as she did back

    Dimitri could not move. Just earlier, he saw the girl behind that tree watching them. But now it seems like she is gone; like she has just disappeared for no reason. Thinking that he just looked over at the wrong tree, he looked around – trying to find the tree where the girl is hiding. But no matter where he looks, there isn’t a single sign of the girl, at least not in any of the trees nearby.“What’s wrong?” Alex said as he noticed Dimitri’s troubled expression, “Call her out now and let her choose. Or should I do it?”“No,” Dimitri responded in a low voice, “She will not come out even if we called out to her,”“Why?” Alex asked, he starting to worry as well, “What happened.”“Nothing! Just,” Dimitri said and eased his pressure up, “Just don’t move from here.” As he said it, Dimitri got up and released his hold on Alex. Then he l

    The Harpy has returned to the castle for the second time that morning. This time, the Centaur and the Lamia are waiting for her by the gate of the outer wall. The Harpy circled above for a bit and started to descend. She landed right in front of the Centaur cook who had an inquisitive look. The Lamia had the same look as well and the Harpy was immediately bombarded by questions.“Did you find her? Did Lord Dimitri and the girl meet? What did he tell you? Why did you return first? What happened in there?” the Centaur and the Maid’s voices were overlapping as they inquires without end.”“Mama! Snake Boss Lady!” the Harpy spoke with a loud voice as she tried to fend off the two, “Me not talk when Mama and Snake Boss Lady talk together!”“Oh! Oh dear,” the Centaur said as she realized her folly, “dear me. I am really sorry.”“I apologize for my rudeness as well,” The Lamia mai

    Alex got up and put his pants back on. He picked up Amanda’s nightdress and threw it towards the crumpled shape of Amanda who was on the bed. He could hear her sniffling, muffling a cry. For a moment, Alex felt guilty about what he did. It is true that he was attracted to Amanda and that he desired to have her. But what happened was driven mostly by the fact that they were alone, his high spirits after being alone with her in this isolated place, and the urgency that came because of Harpy’s discovery.If he had another chance, if Alex could turn back the time to 30 minutes ago, he would have chosen differently. But there is no use crying over spilled milk. Amanda might despise him now, but he will do everything to make her fall for him. He will take her away from this place and then he will have the rest of their lives to make up for this offense. At least that is what he thinks.“Put your dress on,” Alex said as he sat on the edge of the bed, &

    “It seems like you will not have to worry about food,” Alex said as he closed the window again and turned to face Amanda, “aren’t you a lucky one?”“Are you sure about that?” Amanda asked, still suspicious about Alex’s intentions.“About what?” Alex replied with a question, pretending not to know what Amanda meant.“Letting her go,” Amanda replied, trying to gauge how far Alex plans to take his ruse,“Keeping it a secret to your Lord.”“Oh?” Alex looked a bit surprised, “Have you grown concerned about my well-being now?”“Never,” Amanda replied coldly, “I am just not confident that she will be able to keep it a secret from her Lord,”“Doubting a friend, are we?” Alex replied mischievously. He tries to keep his cool but deep down he is already bothered by this unexpected turn of events. Having

    The Harpy is bothered. She is relieved that Alex assured her that Amanda will not be punished. At least she knows that her friend is safe for now. What bothers her is the reason why Alex does not want her to tell anyone about it. On the surface, she is glad that Alex does not seem to plan on returning Amanda to the castle. She will not be punished by Dimitri yet. The problem is in the way that Amanda looked at the Harpy as she left. There was something about how Amanda looked that felt odd.The Harpy is torn about what to do. For starters, she needs to get to the castle as soon as she can. If there is any person who could tell her what to do, it would be no one else but the Centaur Cook. She is not sure about keeping it a secret from the Lord, but the Centaur cook could at least suggest ways to the Harpy how to deal with this issue.Not having to look for someone in the dense forest below, the Harpy saw the castle sooner than expected. She sped up even more and landed

    Alex felt something change in the air around him as soon as he entered the forest. It was the first time that he was this deep after a long time. Dimitri has since stopped hunting in the forest and without anyone to actually challenge him, Alex also decided to stop. But entering the forest was not really the reason for his sudden feeling. It was something else, something that springs from way back: When Alex and Dimitri were still young, and when they were still living in the village.“Dimi is going to the forest again,” one of the young village girls who admired Dimitri said as they gathered together, “What does he do there?”“I don’t know,” the other girl replied, “Why don’t we ask Alex? Alex goes to the forest with him as well, right?”“Alex! Alex!” the girls called out to Alex who is sitting by a large tree, “Come here!”“What is it? You are so noisy,” Alex
