In the deserted land of the southwestern part of the magic realm, a lot of stones pile up like a gate. With every gust of the wind, the sand would form a whirlwind around the gate. The pressure of the wind around the deserted land is too heavy. And the sand contains a poisonous gas. A normal person couldn't get through the sandstorm.
The vast deserted land looked haunted because of the shattered skull and bones of dead animals in the sand. Demons throw all the bones intentionally to scare the trespassers. Also, it is the only part of the magic realm that is covered with darkness.
The truth was, the deserted land is the entrance of the demon's domain. The ruined gate is the transportation gate to the abyss of darkness in the underworld.
Five minutes before the allocated time of Alice and Demon Lord
5 years later.At the central castle, everyone was so busy preparing for the 5th birthday celebration of the half fox triplets, namely Alexia, Ariya, and Azel.“Alexia, come on!” Ariya called from outside Alexia’s room for the fifth time already. Alexia groaned and wore her storage necklace, where she put her gifts for her brother and sister. She stepped out of her room with an annoyed expression. Without warning, Ariya grabbed her wrist and dragged her swiftly.“What’s the rush about?!” Alexia uttered, annoyed by being dragged, but Ariya ignored her.“Did you forget our father will come home today?” Ariya said with excitement.“I know,” Alexia sighed. She was also excited seeing their father after a year of traveling around the magic realm, still looking for their missing mother. Her memories of Alice from 5 years ago were still fresh in her mind. She wished they co
After hugging the twins one by one, Azrael and the others looked at the twins while feeling anxious. Their heart rate quickens while waiting for the twins’ explanation. Nervousness, longing, sadness, excitement, and all other emotions were visible in Azrael and the sisters’ eyes.After knowing Azrael is their father, the twins were feeling ecstatic and Yzzabelle quickly sat in Azrael’s lap while Ezzekiel kept his cool and sat between Azrael and Willow, although he wanted to sit on his father’s lap, too. Though he keeps staring at Azrael and Yzzabelle while smiling. Now he knows where Yzzabelle got her brown hair.Azrael couldn’t explain his feelings. He was happy yet sad because the twins grew up without him by their side. He wasn’t even there when they were born and held them close. It was his dream to cradle his babies in his arms while singing them a lullaby to sleep. But now they can already wal
Alice fluttered her eyes and blinked multiple times, somewhat feeling lost in an unknown space. She doesn't know where she is now. She looked around to look for Darius (Destiny), but she couldn’t feel his aura. As she recollected her thoughts, she remembered her true purpose.“Is this the eternal unknown?” she mumbled and gasped when she saw a two-way path ahead of her. Both paths were moving like waves and she felt a little dizzy as she stared at it. Now, where would she go?When she tried to move, she felt the strong gravity pulling her horizontally, vertically, and in a slanting direction. She felt sick to her stomach when she fell into a swirling motion. She tried to keep her balance and follow the pattern until she got a hang on it. Then she stood still while staring at the two paths intently. She tried using her powers, but n
When Alice couldn’t feel the woman’s aura for days, she felt anxious. What if something happened to the woman? Who would take care of her children? Her worries grew, and she felt really frustrated now.She heard her babies talking about looking for the woman instead. They kept waiting every day, but the woman never appeared. She felt worried for her children, so she desperately tried everything in her willpower to wake up. She fought the heavy pressure that keeps pulling her deeper into the darkness.Anxiety kicked in when she didn’t hear her babies anymore. Fear struck her and Alice tried to use the energy that the woman transferred to her. With all her strength, she pulled herself up forcefully and when she finally saw the light; she felt overwhelmed. At long last, her eyes open sleepily and notice that she was floating inside a golden
After a long walk, Alice and Ashley arrived in the village of elves. Colorful houses with thorn-like roofs beautifully lined up and the wide stone path road was filled with busy elves and some dwarves—buying something from the stores all across the busy streets. Some were chilling while drinking liquor—talking and laughing with each other.The elves notice the arrival of the two women, looking elegant with their design of clothing, and Alice's beauty mesmerizes them. While looking at Alice, they felt a look of familiarity with her as though they had seen her somewhere but couldn’t remember. Some folks knew Ashley and greeted her with enthusiasm because they had not seen her for months. Some fruit vendors even ask her if she brought magical fruits with her, but sadly, Ashley didn’t.Alice was busy looking at the passersby, esp
After the heartbreaking reunion, Alice and the others now settled at the back of the two dragons–Syrius and Tarius, which Alice summoned. They are now ready to go back to the central castle.At the central castle.Everyone was restless and couldn't stay put in one place while still waiting for Azrael and the sisters to return with Alice and the twins. They have been waiting for hours now and yet there's still no sign of them coming back. They couldn't help but feel anxious. What if something goes wrong? If Alice goes missing again, they'll go frantic and will fall into despair again.Earlier, after knowing the news about the twins’ sudden appearance and news about Alice’s whereabouts, the others and Dalmir were so emotional and couldn't help but cry in happiness. Dalmir couldn't believe that Alice
[Alice]A month later.The entire magic realm celebrates the Green Moon Festival, which only happens once a year. Everyone, especially me and my sisters, was so excited to witness the blue moon turn to green moon together while holding hands.“Finally, we were watching the green moon together. I was really looking forward to this five years ago.” Willow said, feeling nostalgic.“I’m so sorry. It’s all my fault.” I said with guilt.“Hey. It doesn’t matter now. What’s important is today. We are watching it together now. And this matters the most.” Xandra said, and squeezed my hand with a smile.&ld
[Alice]“Mother! Mother! It’s time to wake up!” Ezzekiel’s voice echoed in my ear.“5 more minutes please…” I mumbled sleepily. Tiny hands grabbed my arms forcefully. I took a small peek and saw Azel. Ah, so cute…“Mother, you need to wake up! It’s your wedding day!” they yelled while trying to pull me up.Wedding day? Hm?Wha–What?Holy moly!“Ahh, it’s my wedding!” I jolted up quickly with eyes widened in realization, and I heard gigglings.I saw my five little darlings looking
[Alice] As I walked down the aisle, my gaze only fixated on the most handsome man in my eyes. His sweet smiles send me over the moon. At this moment in time, I felt like we were the only two people in the world. Everything just vanished, and he is the only one I see in this vast place filled with people watching us. My eyes glistened as we made eye contact while I walked towards the altar where my husband-to-be was waiting for my hand in marriage. Before I knew it, I was already in front of him. His eyes also glistened with tears of joy. We smiled at each other and he took my right hand, then kissed them gently. He looked at me with all the love in the world. My heart flipped as soon as I noticed the invisible red strings of fate tangled on my wrist and index finger, which connected to Azrael’s wrist and index finger, too. We stared at each oth
