Dylan’s POV:
"We can't stay here. We need to move out and get going before it gets dark," I said to her. "The explosion would probably catch everyone's attention and now that they know where we are I bet they will all come to haunt us," I seriously warned her.
I blew a whistle to summon my hellhounds then helped Aria to get on the back of one of them. I was supposed to ride on the other hellhounds but when I saw her weak condition, I decided to join and ride along with her. She was sitting in front of me and I let her back rest on my chest while we drove to Fugly's place.
While we're on our way to Fugly, I have a sudden flash of memory of me being in the same situation traveling with someone whose identity is still unclear. I don't know why I'm having these flashbacks and every time I tried to recall them it always lead me to nothing.
"Dylan, are you okay? You're spacing out
Dylan's POV:"A kiss?" He burst out laughing and almost peed in his pants. "You are one perverted Djinn!" he continues to make fun of me."Go ahead laugh all you want," I shyly said to him."Is that how you pursue girls by tricking them to make a wish?" he taunted me and started laughing again as if he has an unlimited supply of Nitrous oxide.I decided to come clean and tell Fugly everything. From the time the Demon King made a contract with me to the day I first met Aria and how we ended up here in his fortress hoping that he can help me in figuring out what is going on with my spiritual vessel and how in the world I am turning back into a human. It's not that I don't want it. I'm enjoying having my humanity back. I just don't think that it is the right time to be weak and unable to protect someone special.Everything happens so fast and I still can't believe t
(Oslec) Fugly's POV:Flashback eighteen years ago...It was eighteen years ago when angels and demon hunters joined forces to hunt down and fought with demon soldiers like me. They annihilate every supernatural creature on earth, good or bad no one is exempted. The earth has become a battlefield for the two realms, heaven and hell. We were on the losing party at that time, so the Demon King decided to send out one of his best warriors and that is General Kierra. She may be a woman but is ruthless with confidence and charisma.Not only that she is brave and strong, but she is also the fairest of all the demons in hell, not only in hell but also in the two realms. She is sent out to kill and take down angel soldiers and demon hunters. She is considered the perfect weapon.She also protects the demons that are unable to protect themselves. For us, she i
(Oslec) Fugly's POV:We set out on a journey to earth, disguise ourselves as humans and blend in together with the commoners. With General Kierra's beauty and charm, she was able to easily infiltrate the base of the demon hunters and become one of the maidens who served the angel soldiers.We were lurking around the compound when we accidentally bumped into the man we were looking for heaven's champion, Uriel."What are you doing here? Humans are not allowed to enter this area," he said in a very deep intimidating tone.We turn around slowly facing the one who calls us and I can tell that there is an instant attraction between Uriel and Kierra. They've been staring for a few lazy minutes as if they were having a staring contest. Until Clarren appears out of nowhere..."Ehem, what is going on here?" Clarren confusedly asks while looking at Uriel and Kierra.
(Oslec) Fugly's POV:"I'm pregnant, and I won't let you kill my unborn child," her voice is slightly brittle from the tight grip of Uriel's hand on her neck.We all froze and were speechless that our voice was numb from the shocking revelation of Kierra. His eyes widened in surprise that his body turns to Jell-O and gradually loosen his grip on her neck."How is it even possible? Demon and angel can never bear a child," he inquisitively asks. The tone of her voice changes to seriousness and at the same time features look astounded by the revelation."Go ahead and see for yourself," she confidently said. She took Uriel's hand and placed it on the lower part of her abdomen to feel the life inside her womb.We all kept quiet while waiting for Uriel's reaction. It's hard to tell from a distance what exactly is going on but since I am a Demon, I have an extraordinary
(Oslec) Fugly's POV:That unknown dark force was inside the child wanting to come out of her body. Kierra holds her baby and releases part of her energy to tame the demon inside the baby's body."We need to figure out how to take the demon out of her," Aurora worriedly said to them."I know Aurora, but she is just a baby, she is too fragile to perform an exorcism and other demonic rituals," he quickly replied."She's not crying. Why is she not crying?" Kierra panicky said to Uriel."I think I know why," he said to her."Tell me, what's wrong with her?" Kierra started to sound hysterical.I'd never seen her so worried before maybe this is what humans called a mother's love for their child. With my long stay in the human world, I've learned so much about human behavior, their feelings, emotions, and attitude towards o
(Oslec) Fugly's POV:"My parents were dead because of me," she said while pressing her lips together and her eyes glistened with tears. "I killed my parents." She lowered her head to cover her face with both of her hands and starts crying out loud."Missy, they sacrifice their lives so that you could have a normal life. It wasn't your fault. Please don't feel bad about it," Dylan tries to comfort her. He gently rubs her back to calm her."If it wasn't for me, they could still be alive," she sadly said and cries. Aria is such a crybaby."We don't know that Aria. Your parents give up their lives because they believe that you can make a difference in this world and possibly end the war between the two realms. Don't waste the chance given to you by your parents and make the best out of it," I carefully explain to her."Now I know where I get my special ability to see
Dylan's POV:"I see, missy's wings are now possessed by the two realms," I said."No wonder I have scars on my back. Whenever I ask the doctors and nurses about it, they couldn't tell what causes it," she said while rubbing her back trying to reach on her scars."Those wings were the ones protecting you and making you invincible. You've become vulnerable the moment it was taken away from you and that's why guardians were assigned to ensure your safety," Fugly carefully explains to missy."You mentioned earlier that you were one of my guardians. If you are one of them, where are you all my life? It was Clarren who was with me all these years," she inquisitively asks him. I’m also curious to know the answer, so I wait for his reply."Honestly, I can't remember," he seriously said. His forehead furrowed looking very confused. "I woke up one day and saw a note
Dylan's POV:"What did you just say?"Aria pulls herself away from me. She looks so confused although I know she heard what I said to her."I love the air," I quickly replied. "Yeah, that's what I said earlier the cool breeze is so refreshing and relaxing," I mumbled nervously while scratching my head down to the back of my neck.Even though it is cold outside the balcony, I am sweating like a pig after denying the slip-of-the-tongue confession of my feelings to Aria. Up until now, I still can't believe saying those words to her."Are you sure? I thought you said that you love me," she frankly said to me while seriously looking straight into my emerald green eyes. I can feel my face burning, and my heartbeat went faster than ordinary. She brushes her fingers along my black hair then she walks closer to me and said, "I love you too, Dylan."Ti
Dylan's POV:The ray of light was beaming through the small window. I can feel the warmth of the sun and slowly open up my eyes. My body was sore and stiff when I tried to move. My head is heavy, and my vision is fuzzy trying to see where exactly am I."Dylan, you are finally awake."I heard a familiar voice and when my vision started to get clear, it is confirmed that it was no other than Freya who is standing in front of me and looking down at me."Where am I?" I asked her feeling confused and disoriented. "Where is everybody?" I force myself to stand and sat on the bed. "Where is Aria?"I look around me trying to find a familiar face. I realized that we were back in the fortress of Silent Willow forest."Dylan, you need to stay calm. You have sustained severe injuries in your body, and you need to get more rest," Freya tries to change the
Aria's POV:I regain consciousness and found myself lying on the marble pedestal in the middle of nowhere. I noticed that all of my clothes were gone, but I didn't feel cold. There's a lush warm sensation within me. There is no pain in my body and no wounds or scar. I feel light as a feather and no heavy feeling or burden is weighing on me. I never thought that I was going to experience this euphoric feeling and tranquillity in my life. There is a rainbow of emotions at my disposal and yet, why do I still feel empty?"Am I dead?"That's the first thing that comes to my head. I don't feel threatened or worried and sense no harm. I get up, sat down on the pedestal, and look around me to see my surroundings all I can see was a bright light of infinite nothingness."Where am I?" I whispered to myself.I walk around trying to figure out what is going
Dylan's POV:Death is inevitable. I heard those words from Aria when we first met and trick her into making her first wish. We will all die anyway. She said it without a flinch. Aria is not afraid to die at that very moment because she felt that she has no reason to live and it is easier to accept death. Knowing that there's nothing to leave behind. That was before we found love.Now we are all gathered here on this battlefield fighting for our lives because we wanted to live. Ironic isn't it? There are moments like this when I wanted to give up and give in. Surrender to the darkness because there's nowhere to go. I feel trapped and lost with no hopes left in me, but when I think of Aria. No matter how difficult the situation is, I just can't let go of the possibility that one day we can be together living a normal and peaceful life. That small chance, a glimpse of hope, and the possibility are giving me enough strength and
Dylan's POV:"Dylan, wake up!"The agonizing pain in my head awakened my sore body. The stench of a thousand burning corpses fumes all over the place. My lungs were congested with thick smoke from the fire giving me non-stop coughing and difficulty of breathing."Dylan, wake up!"I heard it again. Someone is calling my name. "Where am I?" I confusedly said to myself. "Am I dreaming?" Still confused about what is going on with my surroundings and me."Geez, he lost it. Try to shake him or something." I heard another voice talking to the one who is calling out my name.My vision was still hazy trying to figure out what had happened. I tried to get up and look around me, then I saw Emann rubbing a piece of cloth on my forehead."Your head is bleeding try not to move too much," she softly said to me wh
Dylan's POV:This is it. The beginning of the end and the war will lead to the downfall of the Kingdom of Hell. I should feel excited that finally, it would be over, but I can't deny that my feelings are somehow divided. I am afraid and feared for the safety of Aria and the rest of the squad who will fight against the most powerful demon.There is thunder roaring like a beast outside the fortress. We are all startled upon hearing the eerie sound and decided to take a peak from the small opening of the fortress to see what is going on outside.We saw a huge thick red cloud from where the thunder came from, heading to our location. Unlike the dark cloud already covering the entire third stage of hell, this one brings acid rain, which is as red as human blood, and very destructive lighting that annihilates everything it touches. The cloud and storm are just a diversion. We are pretty sure that demon soldier
Dylan's POV:A great philosopher once said that if you want to succeed in life then your desire for success must be greater than anything else. There is no room for failure. I may be turning back into a human being, but I am still a demon and I will do anything in my power to get Aria's wing no matter the odds. Even if it means I have to return to my old ruthless self again.I let Aria, and the others go outside the cave for I don't want her to see the monster in me. I love her and I am afraid that she will resent me if she witnesses my true nature.It took me almost an hour before I finally reached the exit of the cave and everybody is waiting patiently for me to come out of the cave.As expected, there are all busy fighting the orcs. They are doing their best to hold their ground while I was busy negotiating with the Queen of the Damned."What took you so long?
Dylan's POV:"Yes," Aria's quick response to my proposal. "Yes, I will marry you, Dylan Lockey!" she repeats her answer will all sincerity and a rainbow of emotions at her disposal.Everyone releases an audible sigh and forcibly claps their hands to show support for our engagement. They don't want to ruin the moment, so nobody said anything to contradict the happy scene.I stood up and inserted the ring on the fourth finger of Aria's left hand and just now realized that it was no ordinary ring. The size is adjusted to the finger of the owner of the ring and the color of the gemstone changes depending on Aria's mood. Aria looks very impressed with her ring. I can see the wide smile on her face and the sparkling look in her eyes."Do you like it?" I asked her even though I already knew the answer, it is still good to hear her say those words."I love it," she quick
Dylan’s POV:We are busy testing the powers of the silver fox when a group of angel soldiers arrived on the scene. One of them is dressed differently from the rest of the military troops and from what I can tell, he possesses the highest rank in the military.His armor is gold-plated, unlike the others who wore silver armor. He carries badges that are pinned on his armor which stated his achievements from the previous wars. He wore a crimson red robe that I think serves no purpose but he did look so damn cool with it as if he is really in authority and has the power to control the situation.His wings are equipped with titanium blades with magical spells on them. The spell appears to be a demon-cleansing spell similar to the spell that was engraved on all of their weapons. Weak types of demons are vulnerable to this kind of weapon. They don't have enough power to deflect the effect of the spells. H
Dylan's POV:Despite our best effort to control the situation in the Southern Hemisphere, the demons are getting closer to the barrier, and more human lives are becoming casualties of war. Night and day the phoenix couple has stayed up on guard to ensure that nobody else gets hurt.Over the years, demons have learned how to disguise themselves, walk and live amongst humans. They have increased in number and are smarter than ever. Like me, they have learned how to hide their powers so that demons and angels cannot detect them. Hiro, Emann, and I were in charge of evacuating the humans and taking them to a safe place. We find it hard to identify the demons and the humans for they all look the same."Hiro, check everyone before you take them to the safe house. We can't afford to let a demon in the headquarters," I reminded him."I can't detect which one is the demon and which one is hum
