I lay in bed, unable to sleep, with Lana and the other thoughts from my past swirling through my mind. It occurred to me that she couldn’t be me, as she was over 100 years old, and I couldn't breathe underwater. The night dragged on, and I eventually moved to Camila’s room for comfort.

"I wish there was a way to forget Nixon and June's death," Camila said, looking me in the eyes.

"I miss them," I replied, my lips turning down.

"We must avenge their death," I added.

"I will make sure to tear Lucifer apart," Camila said, her tone resolute. I nodded in agreement.

"We need to get some sleep," I replied, closing my eyes and quickly drifting off.

I woke up to a loud buzzing noise and opened my eyes slowly, trying to turn off the alarm.

"Come on, Destiny, we don't want to be late," said Camila. I nodded, getting out of bed with her.

"I don't think I'm ready to fight Beelzebub," she said, voicing my own thoughts.

"Me neither."

"Maybe the Master might give us some time to train more," I sugges

    Kelvin and I were pretty close, but his sudden change and working himself to death was okay. I missed my best friend, and while I had no romantic feelings towards him, I wouldn't let his confession spoil the friendship we had.Buzz buzz...My alarm sounded, and I woke up instantly, jumping out of bed and heading to the bathroom. Today was the day our journey continued, and I was more excited than I could imagine. Shouldn't I be scared? But funny, I wasn't.I came out shortly from the bathroom and started packing my clothes from the closet. I had no time to waste. I needed to get this mission done once and for all. The time we spent here wouldn't benefit anyone. Master Son Matthew would be following us. He was one of the strongest among us. Even Lex couldn't stand a chance with him.I headed downstairs and saw that the others were already prepared to leave."Won't wait for breakfast?" Yung's wife asked."No, we're fine," Lex replied, giving us the signal that it was time to go.Master

    Destiny’s POVI was stunned to hear that coming from Lex. I might be dreaming, or all of this was just my mind playing tricks on me. His hands went around my waist, holding me closer to himself."It's time to get going and enough with the lover’s reunion," Kelvin said, standing behind a tree and snapping us out of whatever was happening at that moment.He seemed upset, furious at me, or rather angry at Lex. I knew he had feelings for me, but I just couldn't feel the same way towards him.We came out of the water shortly, and I went to Kevin to clear all his thoughts, but he walked away before I could reach him. We headed to our camp where the others were."Where have you guys been?" Camila mumbled."Just hunting," Lex said curtly."Yeah, right," Kelvin rolled his eyes."Let's go, it's time," Matthew muttered."Where are we heading to this time around?" I asked."There's a city near here. We can go there to get some food stuff and find a place to rest for the next day," Matthew replied

  • Destiny   Chapter 26: Secrets

    "Gold's POV" Two weeks ago The eerie atmosphere created by the deadly trees and lifeless grass made the surroundings look creepy. I wandered through the forest, attempting to find my way to Master Yung's house. It had been a living nightmare for most of us. We didn't want to die; we just longed for an end to all this suffering and to be reunited with our families. "It won't be easy to distract them," I heard a familiar voice with another coming from the other side of the forest. Who could that be, I wondered, trying to locate the source of the voice. "All of them trust you, so it won't be a problem," another voice replied. I hid behind a tree, shocked to see Lex engaged in conversation with a half-demon. I couldn't tell for sure if he was a demon or a human, but his eyes were as red as a hungry lion that hadn't eaten for weeks. His fingers were long like those of a bush rat, and he had red hair just like Lex. His face was smooth, making it difficult to determine who was older

    DESTINYWe went back inside while Mila was looking at me curiously. She gave me a soft smile and then reached out for a cup of water and drank it. Her eyes never left mine."Destiny, I remembered back then when your mother and I were close friends," she said."Huh... You knew my mother?" I asked, and she nodded."She was a great woman. All she ever wanted was peace," she smiled."I miss Lana so much," she added."Did you just say Lana? My mom's name is Floria," I said."I guess she didn't want you to know about her," she mumbled."Lana and Lucifer were lovers, so how could my mom have loved a demon?" I said."And my mom got married to Zack, my dad," I added, and she smiled."You will understand everything when the time is right, I assure you," she replied, going to her cabin and taking an old big book. She brought it closer to me and showed me some pictures of her and my mom back then."You are really my mom's friend," I smiled."Your mom is so beautiful, just like you," she said.I k

    "It's either we make it out alive or we die here," Matthew muttered, drawing out his weapon. I looked at him in shock, but he was right in some way. This was a win-lose situation. Either we fight and make it out alive, or we die here, how would we kill Lucifer? I thought.The demons surrounded us, and they were even stronger than the ones we fought outside the demon world. We fought relentlessly, trying to break free from them but they were too many."There are too many of them. We need to find a way to reach Beelzebub. If we kill him, the demons will die," Matthew shouted over the demons roaring as he plunged his sword into one of the demon’s heart."We need to leave this place so we can gather our strength to finish off Beelzebub with the powers we have before they get drained by these demons," Gold added, sliding under a demon and stabbing it from the back to his heart.I closed my eyes, and suddenly, it became cloudy, with rain pouring down and wetting the floor. I opened my eyes

    I stood there, hiding and trying to listen to every single thing they were saying. Beelzebub had an evil smirk on his face. I could tell he wasn't an easy one to handle.His heart was my main target, and I was waiting for the perfect time to attack. The others didn't take any action either. Beelzebub walked calmly to his throne and sat quietly, playing with his left hand lazily."What are you waiting for? Fight," he said."Destiny, you can come out now," he added, looking at his nails. I stood there like a rock, wondering how he knew I was there and how he knew my name."Come on, Destiny, don't waste my time. I know you've been standing there. Won't you come out and join us here?" he said, playing with his left finger.I stood there quietly, wondering if I should go or not. Hiding here wouldn't do me any good either. The others needed me so we could finally get this done once and for all.I took a deep breath, ready to face my enemy. This was a fight I was eager to win and finally put

    "You look just like her, Destiny," he said with a smirk. I struggled for air, losing so much blood."Don't worry, Destiny. This isn't the end for you. I can't kill you yet," he added."Go to hell," I mumbled, spitting out blood from my mouth, which landed on his face. He laughed, looking down at his fingers."I'm already in hell," he said emotionlessly.Suddenly, he screamed in pain, and Beelzebub's head separated from his body. I gaped in shock—it was Lex who had cut it off.Beelzebub's blood splashed all over my face, covering me in crimson. The white cloth I wore was deeply stained. I looked at Lex and weakly smiled."You're losing so much blood," he said, helping me up from the ground and placing my hands on his neck for support. The rest of the group was already up."This should lead to the exit," Matthew said, and we followed him from behind."What about Destiny? These steps are too much for her. She is weak and dying," Kelvin muttered. I gave him a soft smile."Maybe we should

    The room was filled with darkness, devoid of any light to testify whether it was day or night. I lay down on the soft bed, sporting a frown. My hair was messy, and I looked as though I hadn't slept in days, with dark lines under my eyes. I absentmindedly played with my belly button, placing my left hand on my stomach. Outside the room, I could hear the birds singing and creating a cacophony of noise."Morning," I mumbled.It had been a year since I had been locked up in this place. I couldn't even keep track of the date and time. Madam Jenna was the only one who came here every day, bringing me food and informing me of the date. She treated me like a human being, unlike the others. I couldn't fathom how my extended stay in this room would be of use to Beelzebub.Madam Jenna walked in with a tray of food, balancing it in her right hand while using her left hand to close the door behind her. She offered me a soft smile and sat down beside me on the bed, making contact with my body."How

    I walked out of my kingdom, sword in hand, with Beelzebub at my side. The city had scattered, demons feasting on helpless humans. Knights stood behind us as I screamed, "Attack!" They rushed forward, engaging in battle.Entering the chaos, a massive demon approached. Two horns adorned its head, and a tail snaked behind—a grotesque and intimidating sight."The great ice princess has lost her powers. How can you fight now? I will kill you this moment," the demon taunted, advancing. In response, I used my sword to sever its right leg, causing it to fall in pain.I thrust my sword into its head, blood splashing across my forehead.Immediately, a sharp pain shot through me as a demon used its long nails to dig into my back, blood streaming from my mouth. Despite the agony, I retaliated, thrusting my sword into its stomach from behind. Turning around, I faced the fallen demon, swiftly cutting off its head.Holding my bleeding stomach, I surveyed the battlefield. The demons I had killed vani

    The others rushed over as demons surrounded us, chaos unfolding. Unable to handle the onslaught, Beelzebub teleported us away before Lucifer could strike.Now in a forest, Kelvin and I carefully laid Camila against a tree, her neck still bleeding."I should call for help," Beelzebub suggested, and I nodded in agreement. He went to seek assistance, explaining that the magic porter couldn't cross the ocean."Guys," Camila's weak voice called. We gathered around, holding her hands."I think this is my end," she said, coughing blood."Don't say that. Help is coming; everything will be okay," I reassured with a forced smile."We can't lose another person," I added."Hang in there, please," June pleaded."Promise me you will end this war for all the innocent lives, revenge your mother, and revenge us," Camila weakly requested.Tears fell uncontrollably; wiping them away, I wondered how I could end the war without my powers."Why are you saying this? You can't die; you'll be fine," I insiste

    "Don't you dare touch her," Kevin's voice echoed from behind me, his sword dripping with blood.Lucifer laughed mockingly. "I have taken away her powers, so you can have her. She's useless now," he said, dropping me on the floor, and I felt as if all my bones had broken. Weakness consumed me, and I sensed something vital had been taken away.Kevin helped me to my feet, and I gazed at the others, noticing concern written all over their faces. June walked up to me, scrutinizing me as if I had something on my face."What's wrong, guys? Why are you looking at me as if I have something on my face?" I asked weakly."Your hair, it's no longer white; it's black now," she said, and I ran my hands through my hair.The laughter of Lucifer brought me back to reality. "Your powers are gone for good," he said. I raised my hands, attempting to use my ice powers, but nothing came out. The emptiness I felt now made sense – I had nothing left inside of me.I tried to hold back tears, but I couldn't. I

    Before I could say anything again, Kelvin transformed into his wolf form, breaking the chain due to his large size and creating a distraction. Camila seized the opportunity to run toward me.I held her hand, bringing her closer to me. Now, Kelvin and Camila were safely standing with us.Lucifer, still emotionless, suddenly burst out into loud laughter."Do you think you can escape from here? Do you even know where you are? Try looking outside, princess," he smirked, raising his hand to point to the window opposite us.I walked to the window, my eyes fixed on him, and then I gazed outside.I gasped in shock, unable to believe my eyes. It was a dead end, and it was dark. There was no light, and I couldn't see anything outside. The sky wasn't blue but rather a deep red in color, something I had never seen before.I attempted to look again and saw some white hands, as if they were trying to wave. I couldn't quite understand what they were, and the darkness made it difficult to see clearly

    I continued running on the water's surface, creating ice with every step. The waves and cold breeze brushed against my skin, and the ocean's surface tried to pull me under, but I instantly froze it and ascended. I could see the exit; I was almost there. A smile spread across my face, knowing that nothing could hinder me now.I was aware that Beelzebub might be watching from a distance, or perhaps, he had lost sight of me because I had covered a great distance.Now, I stood at the edge of the ocean, stepping onto the dry land. It wasn't sandy but rocky beneath my feet. I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride.My eyes searched for the others, but they were nowhere to be found. Annoyance welled up within me; they couldn't have left without me. Just as I was about to turn back, a powerful force struck me, knocking me to the ground. I fell onto the hard, bare rock, my head making a painful impact, and I lost consciousness.****I tried moving my left hand, but it felt stiff, just like t

    Seething with anger, I occupied my throne, plagued by the regret of letting her go. I was convinced she wouldn't survive the treacherous ocean. My palms sweated, and I found myself tapping the ground impatiently with my foot.Suddenly, the door burst open, and one of my men entered, his demeanor visibly solemn."My lord," he began, his voice laced with apprehension. "They safely passed through the portal," he informed me, and I nodded in response, using my hand to dismiss him.Soon after, Sophie entered, her expression marred by a deep frown. She wasted no time in voicing her displeasure."I thought you loved her," she said, anger radiating from her every word."You know the ocean means death, and she can't make it. You're weak, Beelzebub, incapable of fighting for your love, just sitting here, watching her die," she said, her words stinging with anger.I gritted my teeth in annoyance and retorted, "Watch your tongue, or I might assist you in cutting it off." Sophie, unfazed, simply r

  • Destiny   Chapter 49: Ocean

    The vast ocean stretched out before us, and as I looked at my team, I could see the fear in their eyes. The enormity of the challenge ahead was apparent to all of us. We needed a substantial boat to navigate this formidable body of water, but Beelzebub had warned us that the sea could swallow us whole. Beelzebub came to our aid and provided us with a porter."We should take a moment to consider how we're going to get through this," Kelvin suggested, taking a seat on a large rock.I joined Kelvin on the rock and tried to understand his frustration. "I don't know why you're so upset with me," I said, and he simply shook his head."I'm not mad at you, Destiny. I understand that you were also a prisoner, but regardless, we're free now," he replied, and I smiled in acknowledgment."I believe I have an idea," I said, capturing the attention of the rest of the team as they stood up."I will attempt to part the water so that you can pass through," I proposed, and they all nodded in agreement.

    My friends stood before me, looking tired and unkempt, as though they hadn't bathed for weeks. I rushed to them, giving them a tight hug. Oh, how I had missed them."I've missed you guys," I said, hugging Camila tightly, and she returned the hug, sniffling at my back. She seemed on the verge of tears but held them back. They must have gone through so much, I thought.Kelvin, on the other hand, eyed me strangely, his gaze immediately shifting to Beelzebub."What are you doing with this monster?" he spat, his voice filled with anger."He was the one who put us inside the demon's lair," he continued, his hair standing on end, and his fists clenched."Will you just calm down, or I'll finish what I started," Beelzebub roared in response.Gold shot Beelzebub a death glare, as if he were ready to attack him at any moment."This is not the time to fight, guys. I'm glad you're all alive," I said, walking up to Kelvin, but he stepped back, avoiding me."You were here all along, and we kept look

    Lex sat beside me on the bed, holding my hand with a loving smile on his face. Sofie and June had left us alone, disappearing to God knows where."Do you know how much I've missed you?" he said, gazing into my eyes and gently cupping my face. His sudden change in mood filled me with joy."What's the matter?" I asked, placing my hands on his soft cheek."I don't think Beelzebub will let us live here," he confessed, and I sighed."But I'll take you out of here. We don't need him to decide. We can both take him down if he gets in our way," he added with determination."No, no, no, we're not taking anyone down. He didn't hurt me during my stay here. Let's just leave in peace," I said, struggling to understand my own conflicted feelings. Living Beelzebub had somehow broken something inside me, but I couldn't put my finger on why I felt this way."Okay, fine, we should go in peace," Lex agreed.Without wasting a moment, Lex brought my face closer, leaning in for a kiss.
