CHAPTER 161 ALEXANDRITE TEDDY'S P.O.V As soon as the three blades united and became a sword, the heads of all of the demon-inhabiting people on the battlefield faced upward, black smoke rushing out of their mouths. Some of the bodies immediately dropped to the ground dead due to the wounds sustained. Without their hosts, they could no longer function. I couldn't help but wonder why the demons left the fight without their leader's command. It was as if they were afraid. But why? I looked around at all of the bickering that was happening while also keeping Iblis and Lucy frozen in place. All I wanted was to end this war once and for all. But the demons were now out in the world, taking on yet another human form, while none of us could figure out who could yield the sword. "ENOUGH! While we are here complaining, real people have lost their lives on that field!" I screamed at the arguing group. Once Iblis was dead and not controlling the black-eyed monsters, we could take them d
CHAPTER 162 LET'S FIND THEORIGINATING DESCENDANTTEDDY'S P.O.V I couldn't help but sit and think about our predicament. Not only did Iblis get away with his life intact, but there were demons out on the loose all around the world now as well. That wasn't even the worst part. The worst part was that we awakened the most feared supernatural huntress known to our kind. She was feared enough by the royal families that they separated all the sword parts across the world. While also storing her mummified body in a magically sealed tomb, one she could probably escape now that she was awake. "What makes you think she won't come for the sword first?" I asked cautiously. "Because without the gem it doesn't serve its purpose for her. Her goal is to capture souls and trap them in the worst type of hell there is. Not just kill them off." Trystan replied casually. "Why would you risk releasing her into our world full of supernatural families?" "I figured if Iblis was dead it would have been wo
CHAPTER 163 HIDDEN IN THE DARKTEDDY'S P.O.V On our way back, I explained to Lucy what she had missed. She didn't seem all that surprised, yet her face showed remorse. This led me to believe that although she may not have had control over her actions, she knew what she had done without explanation. We managed to get back to the kingdom with no issues. It appears Talissa was right. Now that the blades were connected, people were going to go into hiding, just as they should. Once inside, our goal was to find this special magical safe. Since Fenirs never knew that part of the sword was kept in the kingdom, it may be harder for us to locate it. "Maybe it's in her bedroom?" Trystan suggested while looking back at Fenirs and I. Lilyanna's limp body was held tightly in his arms. "I have to take her to the infirmary for them to prepare her for burial," Fenirs replied, ignoring Trystan's request while walking in a different direction than us. "He blames me," Trystan whispered lowly. "
CHAPTER 164 SYBIL'S STORYFENIRS 'S P.O.V It's been a month since we buried my mother and some of the fallen warriors who assisted. Not a day goes by that I don't think about how wrong it all went. We managed to find the safe my mother stored away tightly and securely. It took a while to get into the damn thing too. But now the sword was safely stored away until we needed it. The gem, however, nobody knew where it was. Lucy insisted that it was in the kingdom, nearby. But we searched high and low for the damn thing and there was no sign of it. I wasn't sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing though. The positive side to it was that if we couldn't find it with Lucy's sight, then maybe neither could Alex. If that were the case, then she wouldn't know where to find it, so we had time to dig into research on her origin. We were meeting up with a witch who could give us information about the originating witch, or maybe a descendant of said witch. We just have to hope that once they'
CHAPTER 165 DESCENDANTTeddy's P.O.V The story was heartbreaking. She lived for revenge on a man who broke her heart. Why didn't she just move on? "Would you have moved on if you were her?" She asked questionably. "I wouldn't have cursed them just to curse myself in order to kill them." "She didn't plan on cursing herself. I doubt she would've used herself if she knew that it would leave her how it did." "That was her punishment for disrupting the balance of nature." "Maybe. Her idea was purely to have the love of her life live miserably. Instead, she set them sort of free while it was she who lived miserably." "Karma for trying to play the goddess," Fenirs said with a shrug. "And how do you think your goddess was made?" "What?" "Think about it. A witch cast a curse, creating the first werewolf, who was also the first of her kind to die." "Are you saying that the moon goddess is the lover of Sybil's man?" "I'm saying that there is a reason you exist. You exist solely base
CHAPTER 166 EMPATHTEDDY'S P.O.V It appeared the odds were starting to turn in our favor. Maybe things were finally starting to look up for us. With all the negatives piling against us, I was sure we would fail. Which also made me a little weary. Up until now, nothing has worked in our favor. So for one of her descendants to fall into our laps after all the blows we've received here lately was a miracle. "If what you tell me is true, then she is already awake. But to break free from her mummification, she would have to see both her sword and gem together." "Then we should be good because, as far as we can tell, they are nowhere near each other," Fenirs quickly responded. "But they are at the same time," I said next. "It's either they are or they aren't," she responded while looking between the two of us. "We know where the sword is. However, when it comes to the gem, we think that it's nearby, only hidden in a dark compartment." "But you aren't sure?" "Not precisely," I repli
CHAPTER 167 HELP HERTEDDY'S P.O.V I had this sudden urge to follow the person who was just there. But why? Why was I feeling so strongly about this particular person? Did it have something to do with our situation, or something entirely different? "I'll be back," I said as I rose from my seat. "WAIT!" Novalee hollered out as Fenirs jumped up. "Does she always act on instinct without using her head?" I heard her ask Fenirs , who only huffed a laugh out in response. "Teddy, hold on, what if it's Sybil! You need to be more careful!" Something inside of me told me that it wasn't her. But I wasn't sure why I felt this way. I hadn't had this strong of a connection to anyone since Iblis pushed his way into my mind. Was this person as powerful as Iblis to push her way into my head? What did this person want? "She has a point T. We have a family to think about here. We can't just act on instinct anymore. Not when Alex is awake." "Sybil." Novalee corrected. "Whatever her name is, tha
CHAPTER 168 WHAT'S GOING ON?FENIRS 'S P.O.V I sat down at the table while Teddy went to the restroom. I wasn't sure how I was supposed to help her if I had no idea what she was experiencing. She only ever had a psychic connection to Iblis, so for her to now have a new one worried me. As I sat down I could hear Novalee continuing to talk. We had such opposite ideas that it made it hard to have an actual conversation with the girl. She wanted us to do everything her way. And although she has more information on Sybil than we did, that didn't make everything she wanted to do right or smart. "Does she get distracted like this often?" That was an understatement. Ever since meeting Teddy, she had always been a distraction, but it was more or less me being distracted by her. Sometimes I wish we could go back and live in that peaceful bliss. The bliss of a memory without awareness of all the dangers lurking in the dark. But had we remained in the dark, unspeakable actions would have happe
