"THE CONDITION has been met. The Princess has been found," A teenage boy suddenly appeared. He came from Shane's dagger.

He has small horns and a diamond tattoo on his forehead. He has a pair of bat wings and a tail. They'll actually mistake him for a human if it weren't for his demonic features. His smile was genuine but both men couldn't help but raise their guards.

He bowed his head as a salute. "It was nice working with you, Shane."

He flapped his wings and then dove into the gates of hell. Depite having a barrier, he was still able to get inside. Maybe it was because the barrier was made only for the demons inside to prevent them from stepping in to this world.

Shane returned his attention to Mara. He still could not follow their movements despite noticing that they've gone slower than earlier. Each time they take a pause to breath, his eyes are always fixed on Mara.

"How old is she again?" Shane blurted the question out of nowhere which made Azrael laugh to tease his newest recr

    The crowd kept on growing outside the magical woods in the Netherworld. The citizens are afraid to approach or touch the four wounded bodies, especially that they knew three of the unconscious bodies on the ground.The loud shriek of a phoenix filled their ears. They took few steps back when the phoenix approached the area.A guy jumped off the phoenix and carefully carried his masters' body to the back of the phoenix as the gentle warmth of the phoenix's feathers helps to heal the injured."Careful, Sir Dan," A concerned citizen said the moment she saw how big Lust's wound was.Dan smiled and nodded.They thought Dan is going to leave the unfamiliar girl to be the feed of the dire wolves when the night time comes but to their horror, Dan gently carried the lady with the same care as the other three."Where are you bringing the girl, Sir Dan? She's clearly not one of us. We don't even know her. She might be a spy or an assassin tasked to annihilate our kind!""Why don't you just leave

    Mara wiped the beads of sweat streaming down her temple because of trying to get in to the Mystic Continent she created but it just wouldn't let her."Maybe it's still incomplete, Mara.""Father, it is impossible. It's been a year since we're waiting for it to be completed by a natural calamity. Why is it not allowing me us to enter the place?""Have more patience, Mara. Why are you rushing anyway? We can live for a thousands of years more," Wrath said.Mara felt stupid. It seems like the plan had failed and she have to start from a scartch again.Just when she was about to turn her back and walk away, beads of light started to form a bridge in front of them and something huge started to appear in the seemed vast, empty sky.Mara can feel her stomach twitching in happiness and excitement.

    "Are you sure you're not staying there longer?" Lust asked while combing Mara's hair as she sits in front of the mirror."I want to stay there longer and wander around to see everything," She bit her bottom lip and opened the drawers again to find something precious. "But I am losing something it is making me uncomfortable."She bit her nails. "Have you not really seen a silver necklace? That jewel is kind of important," She said and then turned around to face her aunt.Lust shook her head. "I'm sorry, darling, but I did not. Are you sure you lost it here? You might have dropped it somewhere at the Mystic Ring earlier."Mara touched her chin as she tries to recall whether she's wearing the necklace or not."If I could somehow mess with the clock and turn back or just visit the past to s-" She pursed her lips when Lust glared at her with her pink glowing eyes, warning her to not even try. "Okay, okay. I'm not gonna do it. It's just that I can't clearly recall if I was wearing it. It wa

    "Do you know that I still want to marry you?"Mara's breathing hitched. She stilled on her seat and suddenly felt uncomfortable around Shane. Her stomach is swirling and she could feel her ears burning as she process what Shane had told her.She moved away and then looked at Shane. His eyes was shinning and reflecting the bright cresent moon.Shane smiled a little when he saw Mara's expression. It is almost the same to the reactions he has received from her in the past whenever he brings out that he wants to marry the lady.Shane could see how uncomfortable Mara turned. Panic is visible in her eyes as she tries to think of an answer that will save the atmosphere they had earlier.Shane knew how stupid he was for talking about that an hour after they met again. He shouldn't have brought that up or at least wait for few more days to say that given that they have been apart for almost nine years."Uhm," Mara flashed a nervous smile amd then averted her eyes.Shane decided to smile it of

    "What happened to your hair? Why did you dye it." Lara asked while carrying a dead goose Shane killed.Mara combed her hair with her fingers and smiled a little. "I did not.

"I loved staring at your jet black hair before. But, white hair does look good on you," She then started walking backwards so she could face Mara and then flashed a wide smile. "Hey, guess what, I am finally dating Damien now." She shrieked.Mara burst her bubbles by nodding and flashing a shy smile. "I know. Shane told me about that last night and it is so embarrassing but I almost danced in joy. You finally had the guts to confess."Damien chuckled and then shook his head while Lara glared as Shane who was already looking away and whistling like an innocent bastard."You dimwit," Lara mumbled as she hisses at Shane in irritation.

The young Wrath asked. He clicked his tongue when Shane shook his head. "Too slow.""Why don't you just help me locate her? Don't you have that kind of power or something?"Wrath mimicked the way Shane spoke and made some exaggerated faces before crossing his arms under his chest."I have a duty with my siblings.
