In Love with a Human CHAPTER 1: They're probably not real, but what if they are?
VidaNew York City, Planet Earth"Uhm, hello? Earth to Vida?" Tessa waved her hand in front of Vida in an attempt to pull her back from reality.Vida looked up from the page she was reading and pulled her glasses that were slipping off of her nose. “Sorry, you were saying something?”Tessa let out a huff and dramatically sat down beside her best friend. “You never seem to listen to me! You always have your head behind that book.” She took the book from Vida’s hand and playfully kept it out of her reach.“Hey!” Vida giggled. “Stop it, Tessa. You’ll get my page messed up.”Tessa would not actually lose Vida’s progress in the book. She still sensibly kept her finger where Vida was reading and turned to take a look at the cover. “Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief,” Tessa rolled her eyes. “Ugh, again? How many times have you read this book?”Vida looked up and actually thought about it. Fantasy books have always enthralled her. There is something about these stories that make her fall
In Love with a Human CHAPTER 2: Burning Flames
ColterKingdom of Howard, UnknownColter always has a habit of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.“Fire!”He also never meant to set the forest on fire.“Someone help!”“Quick, call the Neró-Ecanus!”Five men were frantically trying to suppress the fire that innocently started out as a flame. Colter slowly backed away and tried melting into the shadows as more men came to help suppress the blaze that rapidly spread like the inferno.He knew right then and there that he was in trouble. Colter thought to himself, when was he not in trouble, anyway?Colter safely kept his distance from the wildfire that had almost reach the woodland edge. He wanted to bolt before anyone could figure out that it was him that caused the fire. But he had to ensure that the fire would be safely put out and that no one was harmed.Another group of men, the Neró-Ecanus, arrived and immediately started putting out the fire with their Hydropathic talent, Torrential Outpour. When the fire finally subside
In Love with a Human CHAPTER 3: The Duel Between Them
ColterVikalyn, Kingdom of HowardColter was being watched.There was something about what his brother mentioned yesterday that dawned on him. "Colter, haven’t you learned by now that I always have eyes and ears on everything? The moment you stepped out of the palace doors, I already knew where you’re going."That bastard, he thought. Gian seems to get off on Colter's mishaps. Ever since he got back from the forest yesterday, Colter could not shake the feeling that unseen eyes seemed to follow him wherever he went.He was in the forest once again, but this time he was in Vikalyn, a lush, green forest located in the eastern part of the Kingdom. After accidentally running into The Queen in the gardens, he locked himself in his room and spent the night reading books about the unexplored areas in the Kingdom. He had made it a hobby to research on those uncharted regions and mark them on an old map he found in the Palace's grand library. Colter found it strange that his father, a stickler
In Love with a Human CHAPTER 4: Havocc, The Underworld Kingdom
KING MALIKThe King's Study, Kingdom of HowardBack at the Palace, King Malik was still perplexed at what he had witnessed. How could Colter, who barely attended his training, beat Gian? Given that they have both used elemental powers to each of their advantage, Gian clearly was more experienced in combat.But the way Colter retaliated with precise blows and exceptional speed and form, left Gian in the dust. And what really left King Malik in awe was when Colter unleashed the power of Fotiá. It was as beautiful as he had imagined.As King Malik gazed through the window, he saw birds circling atop the treelines in the distance. He wondered what would have happened if he had not intervened. “Colter does not realize how powerful he can be." The King mused to himself. "If he only knew what his full potential was, he'd be the most powerful king Howard will ever have."His contemplation was cut short when a loud knock rang through the room."Enter," King Malik said.The tall double doors op
In Love with a Human CHAPTER 5: Immediate Danger
GianGian's private quarters, Kingdom of Howard"What's on your mind?" The girl sitting in front of Gian asked.It was sometime around midnight and Gian was enjoying a nightcap with the alluring Duchess Eloisa. She was a girl descended from one of the minor royal families in the Kingdom and Gian's conquest for the night.It was an open secret that Gian had the eye for the Duchess. He would meet Eloisa out in public and they would go on horse rides and attend galas together. But they were not officially a couple. At least, not yet.Being in a committed relationship was not high on Gian's to-do list. Besides, Gian would not allow himself to be tied down to one, unless he was sure of his feelings for Eloisa."This and that," Gian said as he leaned back on the chair. They were both sitting by the fire in the large sitting room adjacent to private quarters.Eloisa gathered her hair to one side and leaned forward. "Care to share them with me?"Gian smiled warmly at her and replied. "Nothing
In Love with a Human CHAPTER 6: Who Is That Girl I Saw In My Dream?
VidaNew York City, Planet EarthVida could not believe she forgot to bring her umbrella.She just finished her shift at Burn's and was currently waiting for the bus ride home. Unfortunately, Tessa was on her day off, so she had to go solo for tonight's shift. She didn't really mind since she was used to being alone. She also felt guilty that sometimes she just tunes out Tessa's ramblings like white noise.What she's saying is that, she will be alright since she had her book with her.Normally, it does not rain this hard in the city. They mostly experience scatters of rain showers or drizzle. So, to experience this much rain is a wonder to her.Vida fished her phone out of her pocket to check the time. It was 10:50 PM.She sighed. 10 minutes more of waiting. It was kind of funny how she clocks out the same time the bus arrives at this stop. She even tried to catch the 10:40 PM ride one time, but the bus had already left. It was super inconvenient for her and Tessa. They even asked Pet
In Love with a Human CHAPTER 7: Just Let Me Go
VidaSomewhere in Downtown, New York City"Please! Let me go! I'll give you all my money, just let me go!" Vida cried."What makes you think I want your money?" the man roared.Vida's blood ran cold. Nope, this would not happen to me tonight or ever.Taking advantage of the slickness of the rain, Vida twisted her arm to loosen the clasp of the man's hand. She flailed her legs trying to reach the man's jewels in order to cause some amount of pain to enable her to run away. However, this man can easily take on her strength. Her efforts were like annoying flies to him, something he could swat away so effortlessly.Vida resorted to the one thing she found really gross but essential in this kind of situation: she took a bite out of the man's hand.Psycho-Dimples yelled in pain. His grip on Vida loosened and she took the chance to escape. But this man must be built with steel because he just shook off the bite and immediately caught Vida by the waist and sucker punched her.It knocked the w
In Love with a Human CHAPTER 8: The Silence that Could Kill
ColterKingdom of Howard, UnknownWith a final glance at the sketch, Colter decided to wrap it up. Carefully rolling it up, he placed the piece of art inside an open chest and sealed it with a dull thud. He stared at the closed chest before shaking his head and turning away from it. The silence of the room was eerie, and he decided to get away from it before it drove him mad. “Look, if I were given a chance, I’ll be more than happy to see you.” A brief pause as he realized he was talking to himself, “Oh great. Now I’m talking to myself. That amber eyed brunette surely got me in a lull here.” The flickering thoughts of the girl flashed in his thoughts, which worsened his dour mood. With a sigh, he opened the door and stepped out of his room.“It’d be better if I can see her somewhere that isn’t in my dreams, but then that’d be quite a journey.” Colter muttered to himself as he closed the door behind him. “Who’s to say that she even exists, she might be a figment of my imagination.”

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. They had bot

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! Goddamn it was real, I have these weird powers that can see visions and shit!”“Tessa!” Vida interrupted, giggling as Tessa had begun to pick up steam with her words, she simply leaned on Colter’s arms and felt the moment, he had chosen to live with her on this Earth and it thrilled her to no end.“Don’t interrupt me girl, I was on the verge over there! Like look, those things were real, yeah? Those creepy flying vultu
In Love with a Human CHAPTER 70: It's Time to Go
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. Sparks of fire flew around their battle area, along with

ColterThe Royal Palace, Kingdom of HowardIn the blink of an eye, Colter stood before King Dyron, his hand was firmly grasping the king of darkness’ neck, “Have I ruined your plans, King of Darkness?” Colter taunted the struggling enemy in his hand, Dyron squirmed and tried to fight back, but the prince’s grip was too strong.“What are you doing, son?!” Dyron gasped, trying to regulate his breathing as Colter slowly tried to crush his larynx, “I am your father, do not give in to the lies these filthy Ecanus have fed you!”Colter tightened his grip in anger as he felt Dyron’s magic try to corrupt him again, but the prince’s aura swirled around his senses in protection, this time anticipating the attack.“Your lies bear power no longer, King Dyron” Colter said in an angry whisper as he slammed the king down into the ground.Hope swirled in the hearts of every Ecanus and human in the room, Colter was slightly weakened by the ordeal, but they were glad that he had returned to his normal

King Malik HowardThe Royal Palace, Kingdom of Howard“Colter is under the imperium-class spell; it is a magical poison that seeps through every corner of his body. “ Malik announced finally recognizing its effects, he remembered how often it was used in battles before Gian and Colter’s time, “There is one weakness that Dyron has not accounted for.”Dyron glared at the king and flung another black ball of magic at him, and he dodged it cleanly. “Your ambition will be your downfall, old friend” Malik taunted the furious Dyron this time, finally putting it all together. 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. The mark of Ecanus protects the heart from being fully poisoned, this is why Colter fluctuates in and out of control whi
