Ruby can feel her legs shaking and her arms failing to lift her scythe. She placed her palm on Azrael's blade cutting it open and spilling her warm crimson blood on the purple blade confusing the witch hunter.
The whole weapon glowed and traveled to her body. Ruby stood up, her limbs stopped trembling and her mind is no longer clouded.
"Azrael can kill anything to oblivion but it can also give blessings to those it favors by offering their blood allowing Azrael to grant a wish. A simple wish of giving me the power to kill you however this effect can only be used once a day so let's be quick before it's magic runs thin."
"You can pray all you want to all the demon's in hell but that won't help you because I will shot you down and send you where they are."
"Is that your best plan? I kind of expected..." Suddenly she was in front of the marksman who gapped at her incredible speed. "More
A week had passed since the Witch Hunter came and tried to kill Ruby as well as Aleister's return. The mess that has become her garden had been fixed with the help of the demon after Ruby significantly recovered from her injuries. The demon had dug a hole to bury Cairus' body but discovered a hot spring instead so they decided to burn the corpse clean from the surface of the earth and fix the hot spring into something more bathable and presentable.Aleister built a fence around the bath for privacy and to avoid monsters and other woodland creatures from poking in unwelcomed. Through an architectural magecraft, Ruby managed to create marbled boundaries and stairs on the hot spring where they can relax. The work they did was tedious but with the help of magic, they managed to finish it just in time for the sunset."Whew... That was a lot of work." Aleister commented wiping his forehead from all the sweat he accumulated."S
"I don't like cheating." Aleister whispered after lifting her chin with his free hand. Ruby was suddenly astounded when the demon drank the contents of the potion before throwing away the bottle."What happens when someone who already loves you drinks a love potion?" Aleister asked the maiden already knowing the answer."Their feelings become clearer and no amount of obstruction and opposition will make them back down." Ruby breathed out, her heart finally calming down. Aleister drank a glass of martini before crashing his lips with her parted ones for a brief make-out session."That's my only supply of love potion." Ruby said a little bit disappointed."And now it's gone." Aleister replied with a smirk of satisfaction."Why did you do that? Why didn't you douse me so you can get what you want? You'll have everything you want from me, especially my feelings? Why didn't you?" Ruby asked in confusion unable to comprehend the demon's actions."
Ruby had ordered Aleister to collect firewood leaving her alone in the house to prepare the snacks for her afternoon tea which the demon would sometimes join in to converse with her since he has no one else to pester. The witch is currently brewing the tea and preparing the coffee beans since Aleister preferred coffee over tea or sometimes he would just steal one of her blood meads and pair it with her confectionery treats which Ruby found exceedingly mismatched.The witch heard her doorbell chime in and she instantly paused on her activity to check out her visitor because it surely isn't Aleister since the demon would usually burst into the door and make a mess in dropping the firewood. Ruby went to her front door and opened it revealing an unexpected guest. A casual smile decorated the witch's lips as she greeted her guest."To whom do I owe the pleasure of y
Ruby sat inside her dimly lit workshop staring at a long black box. In her left hand, she held a spherical glass bottle with a red liquid glowing inside. Her tired golden orbs traveled to the red substance in her hand. She wanted to smash the bottle to the ground, set it ablaze, and spat at it but what help can that do in her current situation.The potion in her hand is an Anti-Love potion, she created as a reserve just in case she needed it. Truth be told, she didn't know how to make such a potion even though she was the one who promised to make one for Leanna so she had to start a tedious research from scratch. She worked day and night to create the perfect spell to manifest the potion that she needed. She encountered many failures every day but she never gave up nor stopped because her freedom and her future depends on that potion.Aleister would bang at her
Ruby couldn't sleep that night. She always twisted and turned in her bed while the guilt in her chest weight down her heart. She betrayed Geneva, Aleister is mad at her, and she made Manticat cry. Her poor baby must be really missing her if he cried to Aleister. She sighed and sat up from her bed.She went to the bookshelf and pulled a brightly crimson book, making the shelf flip and reveal a minibar. She grabbed a bottle of vodka and drowned herself in liquor. Tears started falling from her golden eyes.Why did it have to be this way? Betraying someone you love feels so terribly bad even though it bears good results for you. Even though Geneva is a bit arrogant at times and narcissistic Ruby had learned to love her greatly. She's the only person who visited her not to buy potions or hexes or use her for her own gain but purely for company and friendship.
"If you can't sleep then have enough courtesy to let other people do so." Aleister said with monotonous annoyance looking down at her from the doorway. He had a disinterested look on his features as he gazed down at her pitiable state."I'm sorry..." was all Ruby could reply but it seems to be directed to someone else other than him."You are such a troublesome woman." Aleister sighed before walking towards her and grabbing a bottle of Bourbon and pouring himself a cup."What are you doing? I thought you're mad at me." she whispered, wiping away her tears."The Aleister that's mad at you is your lover. I'm here as your friend, no strings attached. And friends drink with their sad friends to make them feel better and listen to them cry and watch them get all snotty. It's
The golden rays of sunlight passed through the window rousing the sleeping beauty that is the Butterfly Witch. Ruby slowly sat up from her bed feeling completely exhausted while her head pounded as if someone was hitting her skull with a hammer. She feels extremely nauseous and lethargic. Nature's cruel way of making her regret her decision to stay up late and drink with a sarcastic demon.Speaking of which, how did she even get to her bed? Last night she was crying with Aleister who drank boredly beside her and he said poetic things that are extremely Machiavellian, not really agreeable based on her own moral code and yet his words sounded oddly comforting and delightful.Ruby slumped her back on the headboard of her bed and sighed. Last night was really. . . something else. There are portions where her memory is blurred or completely blank, mostly about embar
"Good morning, moonlight! Had enough rest? You slept through breakfast so I made you brunch. Are you still exhausted after last night? I hope I didn't work you out too much. Hehehe, I might have gotten carried away this time." he greeted setting down a nice wooden tray on her lap filled with mouth-watering dishes."Thank you..." was her only reply to the demon. Aleister looked really cute and husband-like in his chosen attire. The demon wore casual denim pants and a black shirt while a pink apron covered his front. Even though his outfit is simple he is extremely charismatic due to his well-built body and broad shoulders making the witch want to be encased in his embrace. Ruby blushed a shade of pink before turning away to throw away the thought.Manticat flew
"I didn't expect that you would be this weak, Neherra. Where's that spunk you've been boasting off for centuries? It's no wonder that even my young daughter could kill you. It's her fate after all and your destiny is to be killed by her hands that's why you've been trying so hard to kill her. But you know what, witch queen? I'll never let you lay a single hand on my daughter." Cadmus declared in a menacing and authoritative voice as he stood in front of the bowed demon queen. The fierce battle that raged between them ended with Cadmus as the obvious winner while Neherra gasped for her breath below his feet. "Then why don't you just kill me and get things over with! Or do you not have the balls to kill me, you spineless dragon!" Neherra screamed as she glared at him fiercely.
It was a dreadful night. The blood moon that bathed the world with a crimson light seemed like it was mimicking the carnage of the land down below. Even the light of the billions of stars in the sky couldn't dispel the malevolent aura that seemed to emanate from the corrupt moon that appears to be watching the world like a condescending eye. Fear and panic reverberated across the atmosphere as death and destruction devoured the light of hope. If an outsider would take a look at the world they would say that it was hell and not the world of mortals. The chaos was especially prevalent in the Splendor Palace where the rich and powerful were supposed to be safe and enjoying a party of their own. Now their careless merriment has turned into despair with no way of escape but a small force of brave fighters are doing their best to fight back against the forces of darkness that ascended from hell. Injured and broken, bleeding and battered, the brave her
"What the hell are you doing? You've been drawing there since we finished making love. Aren't you going to get some rest?" Althreya mumbled groggily as she sat up in his extravagant golden bed wrapped only in the exquisite fur and linens from unknown exotic lands. Her fine bare body dented the soft mattress of the bed while streaks of sunlight haloed her cascading locks. To the man who sat drawing over his varnished table, Althreya looked like a goddess of beauty regardless of her disheveled appearance."I am merely indulging my fancy. If you've missed me that much even though we've spent five days and nights fucking our hearts out, then I would say that you are already in love with me. Well, no one can blame you for that. None can resist my charms anyways." joked Cadmus, making Althreya roll her eyes in annoyance."You fuck harder than you fight." retorted Althreya as she gathered the clothing her gracious host had provided only
A new dawn has arrived and in its wake, a new king is crowned. The proud Kingdom of Camelot had collapsed, the Knights of the Round Table had perished with it, and a new empire rose from its soils born from its people. The new empire is named Neo-Macedonia, ruled by Aurelius Parabellum II, grandson of Augustus Parabellum. Althreya Pendragon, the last queen of Camelot, and her most loyal knights fled from the ruins of Camelot and chose to live a simpler life in the northern region. She returned to the ancestral home of her mother in a small region called Colchester. Albeit being smaller and less grand than their former residence, Althreya and her knights led a life of hunting beasts and slaying down monsters and demons to protect their new home. With the blessing of the Holy Sword Excalibur, the former queen and her chosen knights were able to maintain their youthful prime years never
"My father?!!" Ruby exclaimed in bewilderment. She can't believe the words this man just uttered. Surely he must be bluffing. It's impossible! How can he be her father? Her mother never mentioned anything about him regardless of how many times she begged for the truth. Althreya would always refuse and say that she has work to do that's why she gave up on the topic. Now this man, this stranger from nowhere, comes up to her and tells her he's her father. How the hell is she supposed to feel about it? Anyway, there's also the possibility of an ulterior motive behind his introduction. He might actually be evil or something, so he drew her away from her friends before kidnapping her or murdering her. The only way to find out if he's telling the truth is to see if he really knew her mother so might as well play a little game. "What's mommy's favorite color?" "Blue." Well, that's correct but it was prett
Ruby stepped out of her carriage and gazed upon the proud edifice that housed the most powerful family in the length and breadth of the realm. The brightest lights illuminated the walls of the silver towers highlighting their magnificent architecture and beauty. The gardens are curated to perfection where the hedges are all trimmed and decorated with ribbons and fairy lights. Pixies frolic around while the fairies presented their elegant waltz in the air. The beautiful jewel-covered nymphs used their powers to make the water dance in the little canals and fountains, enchanting everyone as they entered. There are myriads of curiosities and experiences waiting to be discovered and it was just the entrance, what more could the insides hold. The sheer diversity and individuality of everything and everyone contributed to the radiance and majesty of the party making everything become more magical as you go deeper into the castle.
Aurelius sat her on his lap before wrapping his arms around her waist while their lips caress each other with passion and sorrow. Ruby removed his coat and unbuttoned his shirt to expose his strong muscles where sweat dripped down his skin that glistened like ivory. The maiden allowed her hand to explore the tenderness of his beautifully built figure and appreciated the well-defined lines that traced the broadness of his chest and the lengths of his arms.Aurelius pulled down her strap to expose her ample bosom and began caressing her soft delicate mounds that perfectly fit his palms. He teased, squeezed, and twisted her buds to allow her core to lubricate faster as his tongue traced the line on her jaw up to her ears making Ruby moan with pleasure and arousal. The maiden retrieved his slumbering python from the comforts of his pants and roused it with the gentle kisses of her fingertips. Aurelius also inserted his fingers inside her panties to tease her c
The chilling cold hugged her body in its comforting embrace as the water wiped away her tear into non-existence. Silence reigned and darkness engulfed her body as the water muted the world yet it did little to console her heart and wipe away the sorrow which lingers in her chest after finding out about Caspian's demise. Ruby didn't last long in the water as she finally decided to rise to the surface and cleanse her body. She sat herself on top of a boulder and took out a potion which she used to massage her hair with. She allowed it to settle on her locks before focusing on scrubbing the dirt and grime on her body as well as the blood of the demon who pretended to be her friend. She decided to redirect her mind into a different topic than Caspian's death. Sadness and sorrow will do a leader no good. A paragon abandons
Caspian and Ezekiel stood there and remained silent waiting for her to speak. Ruby slumped on the chair never minding her posture and manners as the two joined her on the seats around the table. "You should really leash your cousin, Cassy. He's gone too ballsy speaking to our Ruby like that." Ezekiel spoke spitefully. "That fool is naturally like that. I'm sorry that he treated you that way, dear Ruby." Caspian apologized to the maiden who poured herself a glass of water before drinking tiredly from her golden cup. "It's okay. I'm numb to it. Let the dogs bark because they are mindless beasts. Caspian, I heard that you and your soldiers were ambushed on your way here. Are you well?" "Oh, yes. It was a tough battle and some were even able to drag me deep into the woods to separate me from my squad however no demon will amount to the might of a northern soldier. I sent them scrambling with one roar and a swing of a blade. No one can stop me
