Last Updated:
2021-08-16 20:49:32After two days, more invited guests started arriving at the house and soon there were so many of them that on July 14 everyone had to move to a meadow behind the forest, a dozen or so kilometres from the city and only 2 kilometres from the valley where the battle was to take place.
Meredith and Elisabeth brought great magicians from Siberia and elves from the Amazon rainforest. Rita gathered all members of the Spencer family - mother, father, grandmother, two sisters and another brother, Eleazar brought his thirty fellow wizards with whom he attended the school of magic, and they took their family and friends with them. Johnathan, along with Isabelle, invited his mother, five brothers and their wives, even children, who were mostly grown up and could fight demons very well. Alice notified fairies and dwarves from parallel worlds, which Johnathan helped her with by opening portals, besides that also her family, friends and acquaintances, whom she had many, in different parts ofRelated chapters

July 19 finally came and that day, from the very morning, Meredith felt that the opponents were approaching. Around noon, she notified everyone:- The army will soon emerge from behind the trees, they will come from the forests to the east, I feel the very strong demon energy. There are a lot of them... More than we expected. They also took the worst scums from the Underworld with them, vampires, strigoi, trolls and other monsters, all children of the darkness.- Meredith said, staring at the forest wall.- So many minds...- Alice added, focusing hard on understanding the thoughts of the enemies.- Can you read all of their minds?- Rita asked, looking at her with concern.- I understand the thoughts of the demons and the others have far less complex minds, so I have no problem understanding the thoughts of trolls, strigoi and similar creatures. It will be worse with vampires, because some of them are "shields" and therefore can block their mind just like Tess.- Al

Around 11 p.m. the fight became even more fierce than before. Eleazar was increasingly unable to keep up with the teleporting of the wounded, Maria and the angels also felt a slight panic - their makeshift hospital was filling up at an alarming rate, and as little as one person left it, several other wounded appeared in this place. Fatigue and impatience with the still uncertain result of the battle clearly troubled all figthing. Tess, despite the support from others and short breaks, was slowly losing strength, and her shield was starting to let through some of the stronger mental attacks. Alice also felt very tired of constantly browsing through so many, often quite complicated, minds at once. Deborah returned quickly to the battlefield, and, encouraged by victory over Salvadore, she fought as fiercely as ever.Fortunately, the battle was still remarkably even. Everyone knew that, according to the prophecy of Joan Thomson, mother of Johnathan and the great Oracle, the fate of

Damon's anger was indeed waning, and helplessness was slowly taking its place. He felt as if all his life energy was leaving him along with anger, and when became like a normal demon again, he fell to his knees, completely exhausted. At this moment one of Alistair's troops moved to attack him. Damon knew he was too weak to defend himself, so he closed his eyes and suddenly felt someone grab his hand, then as if he felt nothing for a few seconds. When Damon opened his eyes two minutes later, he was lying on the bed in the makeshift hospital, Selene was holding his hand, crying, and Maria raised her hands over his body. He clearly felt some power begin to spread over his body. Damon slowly began to regain his strength, and Selene, seeing him awake, beamed as she wiped away her tears.- How are you feeling?- she asked, her voice still apprehensive.- Okay.- Damon replied, and Selene sighed with relief.- But how did I get here?

Sunlight filtered through a thick blue curtain, illuminating a small room located in the attic. Right by the door was a large wooden desk, painted white, and a swivel chair. Under the desk was a trash can filled to the brim with some papers, soda bottles, and salty snack wrappers. On the desk there was a laptop in a silver casing, a pile of notebooks and books, and a tiny lamp. Above the desk there was a large shelf with a lot of books - from textbooks, through readings, to romances. Here and there, there were photos framed in colorful frames and many other ornaments such as jugs, figurines, etc.There was a large wardrobe opposite the desk, and its door was decorated with baroque ornaments of flowers, angels and animals. Next to the wardrobe there was quite big, pink dressing table with a large mirror, framed in a wave-shaped frame decorated with tiny roses. There were make-up cosmetics scattered on the dressing table, and a small box, probably containing the owner's jewelry.

Selene woke up around noon, drenched in sweat. Once again this month she had the same nightmare - ran through the dark, sinisterly rustling forest, over dry leaves and stones that hurt her bare feet painfully. Behind, Selene heard someone's footsteps, her breathing quickened more and more, and legs slowly failed to obey - she stumbled over protruding boughs more and more often, her sweater got caught on branches, leaving threads of yarn on them, which caused holes in the material. Eventually Selene exhausted herself completely, caught her foot on something large and fell face down into the pile of leaves which caused her to groan softly from pain. Whoever was chasing Selene now grabbed her arm and rolled onto her back, so she looked at this someone's face. It was a man with ebony, mid-length hair and a long black coat. His raven black eyes drew her into their irretrievable depth like a cosmic black hole. As Selene watched him in horror, he clasped his hands together in a strange ges

Suddenly Jennifer's gaze went somewhere far away, soon Sarah looked in the same direction as her and literally stopped moving. Not understanding their reaction, Selene turned in the direction they were staring and in an instant, she understood their delight - two handsome men sat a couple of tables behind them. One of them was a tall, dark haired man with chocolate eyes and a muscular figure. Next to him sat a blonde of medium height, slim, with blue eyes who, compared to the dark haired one, looked kind of inconspicuous.- Tell me it's a dream...- Sarah stammered.- They're so damn sexy.- Jennifer spoke up, staring at them.Selene didn't say anything, just looked at the brunet. Suddenly she saw his face as he turned towards their table - he looked as the guy from the nightmare! Selene immediately turned to her friends, and her terrified expression surprised Sarah, who for a moment looked back from the boys.- Hello.- Selene heard a velvety voice above her. She l

Alistair became enormously furious each time, hearing about the next unsuccessful actions of Salvadore and his truncated gang.- If it weren't for Damon's betrayal, we'd have had it all over the head a long time ago, but now I have to struggle with such idiots like you!- Alistair shouted at Salvadore, Johhan and Chris who were just standing in front of him.- I do not understand how it is possible for almost three years, three demons at that, can not get rid of one sorceress! This is out of my mind! After all, it was possible for a single demon to do it in the past!- he gasped, giving each one of them a murderous glare.- But my lord, you don't know how many protectors are there now. Two wizards, as many as nine sorceresses, one of them is a half-angel and... It is clear that they have prepared themselves much better than before...- Salvadore tried to justify himself and his companions.- Ah, so that's the problem? You just simply don't know how to trick them!- Alistai

Before everyone knew it, another school year had arrived. Before it started, there were several more attacks from Salvadore, Johhan and Chris, but Selene was watched day and night. Later, even during her lessons at school, Damon was always somewhere around, ready to protect her, although he doubted that Salvadore would attack Selene in a place with a lot of people. Maybe he was getting more and more desperate, but for sure was not so stupid. No matter how powerful some demons were, they never risked exposing themselves to too many mortals at once.Jennifer and Sarah, Selene's school friends, also did not leave her side, as if they subconsciously knew something was going on, although in fact they were still blissfully ignorant.- How are you and Damon?- Jen asked excitedly.- Everything is fine... Even auntie got used to him.- Selene replied, recalling the last days of vacation and aunt Meredith, who was talking to Damon more and more, and as heartily as ever.- T
Light & Darkness: Book 1 Chapter 30 - Resting
Johhan and Chris had a great time battling Marco and Damon. They deftly escaped their blows, and enjoyed every skirmish. However, their good mood vanished as soon as the sorceresses appeared on the horizon.- I think we have a problem.- Chris remarked.- Time to disappear.- Johhan replied, winking at him knowingly, which meant it was time for their maneuver.First they drove all attackers to the very edge of the garden, then rushed straight into the wall, baffling the demons and sorceresses chasing them for a while, cause it looked like some kind of suicide mission. But then Johhan and Marco rose right in front of the wall and found themselves on the other side of it in no time, there they came across Salvadore and with him they quickly went to the portal that teleport to the Underworld.- They're gone, damn it!- Damon was clearly irritated, and punched the ground with all his strength.- I should have guessed they'd make this maneuver.- Marco added, guilt c

Chris has returned from subsequent scouts and this time he had better news.- How is the situation now?- Salvadore asked him immediately.- They're done talking. Now most of them are scattered around the house and garden.- Chris replied.- So, who's attacking now?- Johhan asked, looking at each of them in turn.- I'll go.- Salvadore replied first.- What? Why? You've already been there lately.- Chris said, frowning, for he was very eager to fight.- Don't you dare to argue with me.- Salvadore replied in an indignant voice and scowled at him.Chris was about to cut in on his word, but seeing Salvadore's expression, he fell silent immediately. Johhan looked down, and although wanted to say something, he skipped any further comments. Johhan knew his brother very well and knew there was no point in arguing with him.Salvadore crossed the wall to the other side and immediately jumped on a tree branch, looked around as he checked the area, then jump
