In Love with a Human CHAPTER 9: Entering The Forbidden Portal
ColterForests of Howard, Kingdom of Howard Laughter spread throughout the trees; it was a boisterous, powerful laughter. Prince Colter Howard was traversing the forest once more. The adrenaline he feels, the way his blood races when he is trekking through the unknown brings a sense of thrill that he was almost addicted to. He jumped over trees, forced himself through undergrowth after undergrowth, his face was speckled with leaves and dirt. Exhaling loudly, he leapt from one tree into another, plucked an apple in one fluid motion then slid down the trunk and rested on a great tree’s roots. “The fruit here tastes the best.” The young prince muttered, wiping the apple on his clothes, and taking a giant chunk out of it with one bite. As he chewed on this little piece of heaven, his thoughts were suddenly invaded once more by that brown-haired woman in his dreams. Her beauty almost enthralled him, making him feel things he never felt before. His heart practically marked

ColterTraining Grounds, Kingdom of HowardThe sun was up, a new day is in progress, Colter was surrounded by a small mob of Ecanus, some younger than him, some were almost as old as him. It was due to him being one of the best Fotiá-ecanus types. He may come off as a lazy, irresponsible person but many of the citizens still looked up to him for his skills and even his devil may care kind of attitude. There were some who envied his prowess, as he was born with latent powers that made him easily control the flames and his other powers. “It may sound hard but look at this.” He said casually, he snapped his fingers and a flame lit itself up on the tip of his fingertips. The trainees around him gasped at how easily he can manipulate the energy within himself to conjure these flames. Another snap of his fingers and the flame disappeared, “It’s all about focusing your thoughts as you try to summon the flames.” The trainees gasped and laughed, wanting to learn as much from him.“Alright, a

VidaBurn’s Bar, New York City“What a ridiculous idea!” Vida laughed.Tessa can be a riot at times. And her suggestions are as wild as her imaginations.“Why? You’re single. You’re gorgeous. You’re smart. What’s stopping you?” Tessa asked as she wiped a tray clean.Vida lowered her voice. “I don’t want to have sex with someone unless I am sure of my feelings towards him.” Her best friend snorted at her response. “Besides I’d prefer to read books all night than scream some asshole’s name and instantly regret it the morning after because I find out he’s going through a divorce and has two children to support.”Tessa rolled her eyes. All she ever wanted was for Vida to be occupied by other things. Even if her friend did not admit it, she knew deep down that Vida was still stressed about that night. “Whatever you say, dork.”Vida laughed and turned to the window behind her and peeked. “Hey, Lance. Got that order for table 16 ready? The man’s about to pass out.”Lance peeked back and look

ColterPruneé, Kingdom of Howard"You could use a little company."Colter looked up from his fourth or was it sixth bottle of Pruneé's best booze. He had been sitting at this table for quite sometime now and ever since then, the crowd had considerably thinned and the noise died down into a quiet buzz.He had no idea what time it was but he could tell that the bar was about to close. Tables were being cleaned and there were only a few customers left. Maybe he could ask the owner if he could stay a while longer."Nah, thanks. I'm good." Colter replied as he took another shot.The woman did not give up easily. She immediately recognized Colter as soon as he walked into the bar. Only a royal could have gait like that. And that hood? It only drew more attention to himself. She slid into the seat in front of the Prince and caressed his leg under the table with her own. "You look like you needed someone to talk to. I've been eyeing you for quite some time now."Colter snorted rather disgusti

VidaNew York City, Planet EarthThe beat of the music thrummed all over the club, Vida downed her drink in one big gulp as she tried to make sense of what Tessa was telling her.“Come on, Vida!” Tessa said exasperatedly, “The Harry Fletcher! Amazing human being, drop dead handsome, one of New York’s finest bachelors! He isn’t mired in anything scandalous! He’s like a perfect human being.”Vida turned to look at Tessa, there was a hint of frustration pasted on her friend’s face as she tried to get Harry and her together.“Harry also graduated with highest honors in a school overseas! So, he’s got the brains to go with his glorious, handsome face. He’s also the owner of 5 companies that handle multiple smaller companies all over this country. How come you don’t know who he is? Are you living under a rock?” Tessa continued in between gulps of her beer.Tessa noticed that Vida wasn’t paying any attention to what she’s saying, she made a circling gesture with her index finger, signaling

ColterKingdom of Howard, Unknown The morning dawned and Colter was up, shaking off the hangover and unlocking the chest he left the sketch in. It was the same woman he just had a wild dream about, a brunette with amber eyes and fair skin. The dream felt too real for him, so real that his heart stirs and his penis hardens involuntarily just thinking of it. “It felt real. Who is she?” the young prince muttered to himself still staring his art, the thoughts kept pestering him like a mosquito buzzing insistently around his ears. He had felt her, even if it was through a dream. He had felt his body on hers, he had parted her legs and ravaged her. Plausible places where she lives suddenly filled his mind, could she be in the kingdom? Is she an Ecanus too? He had forgotten or didn’t focus enough on her chest marking. “Now I have to find her, don’t I?” he muttered, rolling the piece of paper, and keeping it in the folds of his clothing. Slamming the chest shut, Prince Colter ran out of h

ColterPalace Outskirts, Kingdom of HowardHis mind racing, along side Nimrod’s gallant gallops through the pathways, thoughts of Samuel consumed Colter. He had put the mystery dream girl aside as this new development had caught his eye. He had wanted to confirm the idle gossip that he heard from the village miles away from his current location. In the distance, as he reached a clearing, the palace. Its gates were open, and a crowd had gathered on a specific location. Unable to bear it anymore, Colter caressed Nimrod’s neck, bidding goodbye knowing that his trusted steed will be able to find his way towards the stables, and leapt off, flying towards the crowded area.He saw his parents, the King Malik Howard and Queen Regina Howard, behind them was the Deity Flora watching without betraying any emotions, before them was a figure groveling before them. It was Samuel. Colter watched the scene unfold him intently, while mindlessly muttering: “So… he really is back.”SAMUELPalace Outsk

VidaBurn's Bar, New York CityIt was totally unfair how the sun was shining brightly on Vida. In fact, it was too bright for her liking.The pair were seated at the picnic table, behind Burn's, designated for employees to eat their lunch. It was well-past 12:00PM and the lunch rush of the customer had already died down, giving them time to take a break and prepare for the afternoon stragglers."Vida babe, are you going to eat your protein bar? If not, can I have it? I need an extra boost of sugar today." Tessa said as she finished eating her double turkey sandwich.Vida nodded, not even bothering to look up from her phone.Tessa found it weird that her friend was as usual, disconnected from reality, but this time, her nose was behind her mobile phone. "Switching to e-books now, are we?"Her friend ignored her and just kept scrolling. Well, that was news to Tessa."I'll also be taking your banana yoghurt too since I'm really, really, hungry." Tessa made a move to reach for the yoghurt

Now they had time alone.Vida’s nails buried themselves into Colter’s back, minding his now healing injuries, as Colter put his lips on her breast, he suckled on it like a hungry infant hungering for its mother’s milk. Vida moaned in ecstasy as Colter worked on her body, she involuntarily found herself wrapping her bare legs against his waist, locking him in and not wanting him to stop ever.“I love you, Vida” Colter said, rising from her body and then started biting on her neck gently, Vida shuddered and her nails moved across Colter’s back as her nerves were shot to the point of oversensitivity.

Zoom! Pow! We crossed some mystical portal! That’s right up Vida’s fantasy novel shit! I can’t believe it. I thought I was going to wake up wasted in a bar somewhere!

ColterThe Great Hall, Kingdom of Howard"Brother,"Colter approached his brother on the balcony of the Great Hall. Gian was staring off into the distance, watching the sunset on the horizon. Days had passed since the war against Havocc took place. The Kingdom of Howard has been slowly rebuilding itself from the wounds of the attack. What was left of the Royal Guards helped the citizens rebuild their homes and establishments until they had a sense of their lives back. "Colter," Gian said, nodding.He settled in to stand beside his brother and looked at what was once a thriving capital below them. Colter knew that the entire Kingdom would be back to its former glory in no time."What an experience," Gian said. "All my life, I have always thought Howard to be untouchable, a haven, that no harm would ever befall it. Seeing it being razed to the ground is something I will never forget.""I could say the same," Colter said."But we're getting through it. Just look at how fast the Ecanus
In Love with a Human CHAPTER 69: Peace At Last
King MalikThe Kingdom of HowardThe capital has been devastated greatly, they had suffered many losses and everyone had a somber demeanor. Houses were shattered, the gates were splintered, there was still blood on some parts of the pavement and the royal palace was almost in ruins. The bodies of the fallen Ecanus were being transported for burial, with the highest honors they could be given. Those who were still able to move helped out, finding people trapped in the debris of their homes, giving out food and just giving words of affection towards those who were severely saddened by the recent events.King Malik stood in front of them all, his wounds were still undressed, the blood all over him had dried up and gave him such a scary look, but he wanted to address all of the people before he took care of himself. He wanted to give him hope, and thus, casting the spell once more that would allow the people of his kingdom to hear him clearly:“It is with a heavy heart that I announce the

ColterThe Royal Palace, Kingdom of Howard“Then let us have a duel to the death!” Dyron roared in fury as Colter slowly approached his foe, he could notice the king’s dark magic twist all over his body, “I shall send you straight into the pits of the underworld, and soon afterwards, everyone in this failure of a kingdom”Colter’s powers were at their peak now, three of the four elements worked in tandem as he leapt forward the elemental sword in his hand glowing with a bright light that radiated hope. He swung down as he descended on his enemy, but he was met with resistance. The sword of light clashed against the sword made of pure darkness.Dyron’s wounds from Vergil’s earlier attack burst with blood as he struggled, “I shall have this kingdom and no one will stop me” Colter just stared blankly at Dyron’s claims, they clashed swords once more, this time with blinding speed as each combatant gave their whole strength into it.

Colter running away. Vida coming over to help and Tessa assisting. It had been in front of him all this time, and finally, a way to save the lives that could still be saved.“The poison indeed courses through every part of their body, except for one” Malik announced, “It could never breach the heart.
