Demon Renard immediately crumbled to the floor as he felt some part of him drain away, he looked on helplessly at Liam on the floor and the dead girl in his arms, unable to even approach them. When Liam's sword had peirced through the heart of the girl, he had felt the excruciating pain, he had felt something tear away from him and the hold he had over the girl had vanished quickly as well. He had expected that the much larger part of him in the girl would rush straight into him but he did not feel that happen, rathe he had felt weakened, like the sword had also peirced through the Angel's body too.
Master Krane had immediately rushed to his side when he saw him crumble to the floor, weak, but he did not need th demon's sympathy and would have dug his whole hand into the chubby demon's stomach and ripped out all its guts if he had the strength to. What he wanted was strength, what he wanted was power, to feel powerful again. He calmed down and breathed steadily as he watched theCongratulations!

Susan stumbled over the front steps as she approached the ancient wooden door of the lone house which sat at the end of the road, completely surrounded by nothing but over grown grasses and darkness, wrapped entirely in the shrewd mystery of made up stories and haunting myths. She gasped and caught the steps with one hand to keep herself from completely falling over and she quickly regained her composure, glancing over her shoulder, she could see the flash lights, she could see the dark outlines of the people chasing after her and calling out her name, they weren't far behind now, she needed to get away from them.She hugged the small bundle she carried on her chest and frantically pulled at the thick vines which had wrapped around the door, serving as a barricade, they snapped easily like weather-aged ropes and as she pushed the door open, one of the hinges gave way and the door on the left tipped and landed upright on the wooden floor with a loud bang, raising the dust bu
According to the all scriptures ever written and ever found, and according to our wide and still growing knowledge, even those passed down from generations of old and according to how we had come to be, it was a very well known and a clearly stated fact that the Earth belonged to us, it and everything in it. It was ours, humans, we alone ruled over the Earth and possessed every thing in it and we had done so for as long as time could permit us to remember existing. We had taken full control and exercised our dominance proudly over every area of the Earth.We were smart, we were powerful, we were wise and we were becoming too much so we wanted more and in our arrogance we thought we could have it all and truly we almost did and yes that was how and why the world which we had then, the world which we had asserted our full control over became like this; the world which we know as of now. The world we no longer owned.It was now a broken world ruled by a few corrupted Angels
Smokes was a noisy place, it was always so noisy and always so full, most especially during the evening times and all through the night. It was such a place for demons and night creatures, a place where they came to unwind and sort of relax but then there was almost nothing relaxing about Smokes. The over crowded and noisy place brought in the heat which contrasted sharply with the cool weather just outside the doors but the heat was welcoming for the demons, to them it was relaxing, even the awful smell emanating from the scaly and hideous bodies of these demons, they considered that relaxing too.Situated by the edge of the southern forest, Smokes was a place which welcomed all creatures into its overly warm abode, but it was not a place which all the creatures welcomed and asides from the demons who trooped in every night for the ironically relaxing atmosphere, no other creature came here to relax, it was either for business or... actually only for business. It was so for all
To see a human outside in the open was not something one would see every now and then as the humans had long gone into hiding and they hid perfectly well, so well that no other creature knew of their hiding place. But they did not always stay in their hiding place, they could not always stay. Surviving meant staying alive, and staying alive meant eating, to eat you need to have food, and to have food you will need to hunt, hunting always brought them out of hiding but not all of the humans came out during the hunting time.They had scouts, they had groups, made of the finest and well trained fighters that they had, the quietest and stealthiest of them because coming out meant you were in danger of being spotted by the scavenging demons which roamed the forest and flew above the empty lands, their very sharp eye sight could easily spot any thing moving down below and that could easily put the hiding place of the humans in danger of being discovered. Night time was the only time th
The wind blowing in though the windows whistled lightly, the curtains swayed gently in the soft breeze and all seemed calm and peaceful and cold and quiet. It was much too quiet to be normal, he reasoned, even the crickets remained quiet. True that every other night had been like this, it had always been like this during the past nights but he did not know why he was feeling so uneasy this night, it was a rather strange feeling which he did not welcome and he wanted it to go away. If his instincts were right, something unpleasant was being cooked up and he was sure it would be happening very soon, and very close by too. He straightened up from his leaning position against the door and sharpened up his senses, his instincts were always never wrong.The room in which he stood in was small - for him, that is - but it was just the right size of cute for the human child whom he was watching over as she slept calmly and peacefully in her princess modelled pink bed. Pasted all around th
Leticia was startled awake by the sudden 'woosh' of air caused by the Angel flying away and the cloak which he had placed over her to cover her was partially blown off her body and along with it, the debris of broken sticks and dead leaves which littered the forest floor. She laid still and unmoving on the ground for a while, with her eyes open and staring straight to the sky and to the tree tops. What had just happened? Had she seen right? For the first time ever, she had come so very close to a creature which she had only heard of from people and which she had only read in books, she had seen an Angel. She almost could not believe it.She had seen an Angel!She sprang up to a sitting position and that was when she noticed the cloak on her, it must have belonged to him, the Angel, she was convinced of this because the stench of alcohol was very strong on it. He must have been drinking the night before and had wandered aimlessly into this forest before passing out here in the
Liam dropped down noisyly to the ground, his huge wings flapped once before folding up behind him. He had skipped going to the lake and rather chosen to go to the waterfall instead, standing under the falling water was much better than dunking yourself in a lake. He was already shirtless and he did not bother taking off his pants before stepping into the water. The water here was really shallow, reaching only up to his knees, he walked under the water fall, welcoming the cascading coolness that washed over him, it felt refreshing on his skin.Closing his eyes he tried to drown out his thoughts but he could not, the dark image of Renard constantly played in his subconscious, this corruption had spread faster than anything he had imagined and he did not know why he was feeling pity towards him, he had after all, chosen the path he was on now and he would face it himself. But what had made him change? He knew one of the reasons was power. Renard had always been an Angel who en
"When I said hunting..." Leticia had continued, putting down the cloak before she fixed her eyes on the demon girl. "...I mean demon hunting. I hunt demons for sport. Demons like you."The demon girl fisted her hands by her side. "I would love to see you try!""You would not sell much in the market because you are a bit skinny." Leticia went on, weighing the sword in her hand and throwing it from one palm to the other without taking her eyes off the demon girl. "But I might be in need of a runner. You will be my errand demon."The demon girl snapped and charged at her. Leticia brought her sword up and smiled, taking careful steps backwards as adrenaline burned through out her veins. She knew for sure she was going to love this exercise, the last time she had to train was two days ago but it seemed like eternity. She was not used to staying a long while without exercising her arms and see could not train herself by fighting the trees, no, that was a waste. She saw the demon

Liam was taken aback by what he just heard Leticia say and he stood a while, shocked band dumbfounded."Now," she had said. "Let us get this over with, shall we? I have a world to dominate."Demon Renard smirked and slowly backed off with a low bow, Master Krane did the same. Liam looked around at the two of them and then back to Leticia. The girl in front of him was Leticia but what ever was inside her was not, it was something he did not know and that thing also could not recognize him."Leticia, snap out of this, this is not you!" Liam spoke to her in his thoughts.Leticia heard him, or more like the first spirit that had taken over her, heard him and laughed. "She is no longer here Angel, she is gone and will be gone forever.""Leticia," Liam continued in his thoughts as they both circled each other. "I know you are in there. Listen to me."He watched her walk ever so slowly, like a predator checking out the weak parts of its prey. The green scaly s
"Why did you do that?" Sheila asked Scott the question as soon as Liam had left them. He had flown off in a rush, barely taking two steps to get away from them before spreading his wings wide and flying off, it had hit Scott with a powerful slap to the arm, sending him down to the ground and he still could feel the pain from it. Liam had not noticed, and even if he did, he had been too concerned about Leticia to pause and offer an apology, Scott did not even take offense in it, he knew the Angel had to hurry off. He got up and dusted himself."Why did I do what?" He asked back, not quite sure of what Sheila was talking about."Betray your kind." She replied.Scott looked at her with a questioning look. "Betray my kind? I never betray my kind. What are you talking about?"Sheila frowned. "So you mean you lied to Liam?!" She was getting angry. "You lied to him and you sent him over to Renard's?!"Scott was a bit confused. "Wait, now hold up, I..." But Sheila w
Leticia struggled to breathe, something was happening to her body but she did not know what exactly it was, all she knew was that she was not ok. Her heart pounded loudly and without rythm, her head was spinning and she could barely understood what she saw in front of her, her hearing was distant and echoing and she felt her real self, her own conscience slipping away."Mine." She heard the demon say."Mine." She heard from within her.The demon suddenly turned away from her and took a step to the side. She saw an Angel rush in and come to a stop, staring at them with every look of shock and anger and surprise and when he finally looked at her, he buckled and almost fell but managed to hold himself up using his sword. He looked hurt and disappointed and pained on seeing her but she could not really understand why.She saw him but did not know who he was, she knew she had seen him once or twice before but could not exactly place where she had seen him. Her head po
Master Krane walked up to Leticia on the table who was still struggling to balance between being conscious and drifting into unconsciousness. Krane needed her to be awake, he needed her to be very conscious and to do that he had to awaken the dormant half spirit of Gates in her, the same spirit that was toiling through Renard's body to take control.Krane glanced over at Renard who had fully transformed into a demon now but was still withering on the floor like he was trying to stop whatever was trying to take control over his body. Krane smirked and turned to face Leticia, she was the last and final piece to complete this puzzle. He just needed a final human to sacrifice.Almost immediately, as if on cue, Ben walked into the house and on seeing the gruesome creature, rolling on the floor which had a very striking resemblance to his Master Renard, he screamed out."M... Master Krane..!?" He did not exactly know what to say, he just could not believe what was happening
The girl was extremely light in Scott's arms, she did not weigh any thing and Scott felt like he was carrying paper. He held her close to himself for fear of the wind just picking her up and out of his arms. He watched her as they walked from the Nadris headquarters to Renard's place, the journey was a long one through the forest but none of them complained of fatigue, well, none of the two of them because Renard had left them to walk while he flew away, constantly swooping up ahead of them to circle them above before flying off for a few minutes only to come back again, repeating the same routine over and over.Scott looked up at Renard flying in the sky, his wings radiated the moon's light and he had to admit that it looked very beautiful to the eyes. He looked back down and sighed, this has been the longest night he had ever seen and he began to wonder when it would be over. The girl whimpered slightly in his arms and stirred, he looked at her and then to Master Krane as the
Ben knocked slightly on Krane's door. He shook in his knees, he did not want to come here ever again after what had happened the last time with that ridiculously annoying Imp that the demon kept as a pet, but if all worked well then this would be the last time he would be here but then Renard had told him to come over here and tell Master Krane that the mixed blood girl had been found when she really has not been.Or has Renard found her?The door opened and Ben almost jumped in fright. He looked in and could see nothing but darkness, he could hear the Imp's laughter and he shivered, he would have to do this. He breathed in and stepped in."M... Master Krane?""Tell me this is good news Ben or my Imp will...""We found the girl." Ben said in a rush, cutting the demon off. He slapped his palm against his mouth and prayed for his life."What did you say? Of what importance is a girl to me right now?!" He yelled.Ben swallowed. "The... The mixed blood. We have a mi
Liam panicked, he hesitated for a second wondering if he had heard clearly. It was her voice and she had called out to him for help. He stumbled backwards but caught himself from falling, Renard stared at him for a while before bursting out into a laugh."How gullible." He said. Liam snapped and charged at him in anger. Renard slipped off the sofa just in time as Liam's sword cut clean into it but he did not attack Renard any further. They both stared at each other for a while, Renard in shock and panick at his near death escape and Liam in pure anger."I will come back for you Renard, and that is my promise to you." Liam said and rushed out of the house, taking to the skies immediately.Renard, a little bit shaken from Liam's last action, stood up from the floor and adjusted himself. He should get going now to the Nadris and he would inform Master Krane too about this so that he could begin the process of making the potion. Finally, after these long years, he would b
"Why do you think I called you to meet me here?" Dan had said.Liam thought on it for a while but he could not make much sense out of it, if Renard had called him here for them to settle their differences once and for all then he would gladly oblige, he would end everything here and now. He took a defensive position and walked round as the two Angels slowly circled each other.Renard smirked as he watched Liam, the Angel was clueless as to why hee had called him to come here rather than to fish him out. He had wanted Liam as far away as possible from his own place, he had wanted him as far away as possible from the mixed blood female with him, he had done his part by bringing Liam out, now the rest was up to Dan to complete."Maybe I will have to kill you, I will have my way and I will have her and there will be nothing you do about that!""I dare you to try renard." Liam fumed. Renard lifted his sword and charged at Liam with all fury.Bot
