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. She took a step back and then sprinted to the other side of the bridge. She can no longer feel the exhaustion due to the extreme emotions filling her to the core.{To my people, our years of trial an
"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. It just turned white one day and it never went back to black. Why? Does it look bad?""It actually look better, Mara," Damien said which put an ease on Mara's heart.Lara pouted. "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. "How d
It's as if the Mystic Ring is moaning in agony as it witness the cruelty of some of the people standing on its grounds. The sweet chirpings of the birds suddenlt sounds like a broking glass. The roars of the dragons are the ones echoing in the skies as they fly around in an uneasy manner. The boars and the deers are hiding even in the darkest parts of the Mystic Ring. The mythical creatures such as the sphinx, griffins and chimera are acting restless which makes them look like they're going feral. The trees are not swaying with the winds and refuses to go with the natural flow of nature.The sun was blocked by the cumunolimbus clouds, making it even darker as the fog starts to mysteriously appear.As the angels watch the groups of demons cross the bridge, the clouds starts to roar as if it is not allowing the angels to do what they want."After all, you do not own this place," The young lady tilted her head to look back at the irritated angel. "I do," She said. A loud thunder followed
"We're going back to the Eternal to report to the higher angels. I expect you to keep a close eye on that woman and the other demons living in this village while we're gone. We're coming back tomorrow with one or maybe two higher officials to fulfill our duty," Captain Irena looked at the three who are saluting at her as they prepare to leave the Mystic Ring. "I hope you won't use this chance to form alliance with the demons, special reapers.""You can count on us, Captain. Please do take care on your way back to the Eternal," Lara said.The three watched their colleagues march to the other side of the bridge while saluting at them as a sign of respect. Though, Shane couldn't help but tap his foot on the ground as his mind revolves around the thought about where he could find Mara.The moment Captain Irena's group disappeared from their sighed, the three sighed in relief and turned around."Let's hurry up," Shane said, not wanting the two to think that he'll just go around looking for
"Will you stop pouting, Shane? It's not like this is the first time Mara has dumped you," Lara said and then rolled her eyes."Stop sulking, Shane. Mara probably feels the same way," Damien said to cheer Shane up, the opposite of what Lara is trying to do.As the three walks towarda Azrael's office, they could not stop thinking about Captain Irena told the seraphims on their report about the Mystic Ring and what happened inside that continent.There is a high possibility that they may have told everyone fabricated lies which may lead to something enormous that will end the world. Especially that in the next war, they're pretty sure that all seven rulers of hell will join the battle for their princess unlike the old times."We've seen her again," Damien started to talk about their experience in that continent as well as they things he witnessed, including the behaviors of the angels who was with them."That really happened, Azrael," Shane spoke. "And guess what, Mara's hair turned whit
Shane could not rest easy as he awaits the answer of the seraphims to Mara's question.When no one spoke to answer Mara, she walked towards the gigantic window to look at the view outside for a second and then sat on the sofa as if she was not an unwanted guest.All seven seraphims stared at her as if she was crazy... well, she really is. Mara took a single bite on an apple and as soon an she put it back on the plate, every fruit that was on thta plate suddenly turned silver as if they were enchanted.Azrael walked towards Mara. Shane could not help but gulp and overthink what might Azrael do to her because of her behavior.To their surprise, Azrael flicked Mara's forehead."Aww! What was that for?" The lady asked while the others' jaw dropped in surprise."What on Earth is this behavior, Mara?" Azrael asked in a low tone.Mara caressed her forehead. She wonders if that flick left a mark on her forehead. It would be a shame for her is it did and a shame on Azrael if it did not."You j
Shane has been traveling around the lands. He has been to the smallest town and the largest kingdoms he's heard of.He was sitting under an apple tree to take a minute of rest when demon child suddenly appeared before him."You haven't found her yet?" 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. I just sneaked out to ask you about her," Wrath was about to teleport back to the palace when he remembered what he heard yesterday. "The prince of the neighboring kingdom was planning to ask for the hand of the said most beautiful girl in his kingdom."Shane raised his eyebrow. He doesn't care how many beautiful girls are living in this world. They're none of his business and whoever prince Wrath was talking about was definitel
Since there's only more than a hundred on the battlefield, everyone pulled back and regrouped to fight together.The once majestic tree in the middle of the battlefield has withered away because of the millions of parasites. The minor injuries they got earlier has healed. However, the major ones are still bleeding and causing unbearable pain the injured has to injure.Azrael has a huge wound from his chest down to his belly. Elijah's right hand is almost numb and had some broken bones. Isaiah's fingers are barely attached to his hand. Thea could barely stand up because of her broken hips she got from falling from the sky and can't fly steadily since she broke her wings. Raphael was mentally stable because of Lust's mental torture. Philip has second degree burns on his left arm. Amira lost one of her legs and was the only one among the seven seraphims who's dying because of Gluttony's parasites.Pride was wincing in pain as he can feel his organs burning since Thea still managed to sta
Unlike beginning of the war where some was not wearing proper battlesuits and was not able to use magic, everyone now was fully prepared. They are wearing armors.Everyone was literally ready to die, especially the demons. They were throwing themselves into the battle to kill and be killed.The fierce battle has began, Mara enjoyed watching Shane dance in the middle of the battlefield with a psychotic smirk plastered on his face. The way he sliced them in half and chopped them like a butchered meat made her bloodlust grow. Mara licked her lips as tons of corpses pleases her eyes in the most magnificent way possible.Shane leaped into the thin air as he replaces his scythe with the dagger Mara has given him before. His dagger multiplied a thousand times and then he threw it to every direction, not minding if it hits angels, grim reapers or demons.His eyes are glowing blue and his skin was turning paler and paler while steam was coming out of his body. He's feeling hot. He's not satisf
"Unforgivable," Mara mumbled under her breath while sitting on her bed.The rapid regeneration of her body and energy made her look like she was emitting steam out of her body. Her hands are fisted as her whole body trembles in rage."Unacceptable," She mumbled."Please, calm down, Mara. You have to calm down," Lust said in a gentle yet nervous manner.Mara's aura has reached every demon citizens staying in the Netherworld. Every children are crying nonstop because of the intense scent of her aura.She was just mumbling and whispering things but for everyone within the range of Mara's power, it's as if she was screaming and throwing meteorites to each and everyone.Lust bit her nails and then ran to the other room to get her brothers. "What? Are you guys just going to sit here comfortably?""It's not like we can calm her down when she shut everyone out of her own little world. She created a faint barrier around, didn't she? While she's emitting tremendous aura which made everyone fear
Shane could not control his breathing. He just stood there, frozen on his spot while watching Mara's father take her away from this chaotic area.Every angles are wearing their battlesuit. Every grim reapers are on their cloaks. Every demons wielded their spears and swords. Everyone was ready to fight and has accepted the fact that no matter what they do, blood shall flow on the battlefield.They could not figure out how did the grim reapers sneaked explosives such as grenade and TNTs and guns and the canons they were using to fire at every corner of the continent.The crowd of thousands of angels, demons, and grim reapers split up and headed to every place on the Mystic Ring.Dragons, chimeras and other more creatures kept on falling from the sky. The forest in on fire that every creature came running out of the woods only to be greeted by the canons, arrows and guns that rendered them lifeless the moment it hits them. Poison gas has entered even in the smallest holes where small ani
"What are you doing here anyway?" Mara asked and then raised her eyebrows after pushing Shane away.She started walking away without a specific place in mind. Shane chased after her with a wide grin."I was looking for you," He said and then wrapped her arm on Mara's shoulders as they walk.Mara shove it away and then hissed at the lad. It made Shane chuckle in amusement while watching the lady march grumpily. She then turned to him with sharp glares which made Shane raised his hands in the air, though, it was to tease Mara even more."What on Earth is your problem?""Nothing," He said and then shrugged. "I just want to follow you, is that bad?""Damn bad, Shane!" Mara exclaimed. "A grim reaper cannot follow a demon, especially the future queen, as it is a form of mockery for your kind," She crossed her arms. "The kiss was a taboo. You'll be exiled from Heaven because of treason, or worse, executed."Mara's steps got faster while Shane stood there with parted lips. He heaved a deep br
Everyone has finally calmed down. The seraphims and Shane are sitting on a table with a demon as they discuss their agreement further.Shane still could not believe that the impulsive girl who was with him since he was kid has turned into some manipulative bitch who manipulated even the seven seraphims.If Lara was here when it happened, she would have thought that Mara is just gutsy and arrogant to go here by herself. Or maybe... she would have thought that Mara has pointed her blades to the people of Heaven and chose war instead of peace that she was talking about.Shane could not deny that he thought of that for a second. Actually, there's a part of him that still believe that Mara did this not for peace."I expect you to live up to your words, Demon." The said before closing the door and flying up to the higher lands of Heaven.Mara and Shane sighed in relief when the six seraphims has left. "I thought I was a dead meat," Mara mumbled. Shane's foreheaf creased and could not help
Shane could not rest easy as he awaits the answer of the seraphims to Mara's question.When no one spoke to answer Mara, she walked towards the gigantic window to look at the view outside for a second and then sat on the sofa as if she was not an unwanted guest.All seven seraphims stared at her as if she was crazy... well, she really is.
