The faint creaks of wood and the often cacophony of the water trickling as she paddle away in silence was the only noise Hellion could hear. Xegris was still deep asleep and she’s been rowing the both for how many nights now.
It was their fourth day being castaway in the vast ocean. Hellion survived eating those raw fish she painstakingly tried to catch with her own hands while Xegris only sleep like the dead on the boat’s cabin. He never woken up even once as if he was extremely exhausted. She was doing all the work so how come he’s that tired! He’s not even moving an inch!
Hellion would casually glare at him and sometimes smack his navel with the paddle but so far he’d only glare back and go back to sleep looking all helpless and pale.
She even thought that Xegris must be seasick but he only sneered at her and stubbornly said he’s not. Hellion just snorted and believed that it was the case.

“Where is this?” Hellion asked as she glance over the dead trees on their way. The tree trunk was dark and withered, there’s no leaves on the branches as if the whole forest was cursed with drought. Hellion silently followed the man in front of him and decide not to say another word. It must be like the last time they travel across a forest and got attacked by wolves. She herself, knew she don’t want to experience that again. And thus she followed him quietly. They walked in the coarse soil as the ground was painted with cracks and footsteps can’t even be print to remember their tracks. Hellion felt bad, her face was sewn into a frown. Are they gonna hide here? This would be a perfect hiding spot as it was a barren land but surviving won’t be easy. She collapsed after a few days of not eating and what about the time they are to stay here without water or so?
They say magic was a power bestowed by the gods and the ones who wields the power had sacrifice something in return. The humans and the other race had unique abilities which they have possess since the first war against race.The werebeast gave up their will and became the strongest, humans give up the strength and became the smartest, demons give up their sanity and became merciless, sylphs give up their power and attain holiness and elves give up their judgement and became the finest.While the first war had ended demons won and dominate the world as they began to enslave the other race but no one was happy and satisfied with it.The gods were threatened by the prominent power of the demon race and chose candidates of each race to overpower the demons. They treat them like a plague and the second war had started by a blow of a horn.With the help of the God of Light, the four race suppressed the de
Hellion cautiously walked into the ruins. She’s been feeling a bit of an eerie atmosphere towards the place. There was nothing particular in her sight but she couldn’t help but feel as if she was being stared at. There were lot of eyes glued on her back and in her side as if waiting for an opportunity to jump at her.Hellion stomped her feet as the noise echoed towards the quiet place. She then took out her dagger and sighed. The enemy is just five meters away and they’re all hiding themselves in the debris.Hellion counted in her hands as she nonchalantly tossed away the nonsensical book in her arms. Never mind the charm of it bringing her to a dangerous place. As long as she get rid of it sooner then she’ll be fine.Hellion glanced at the cursed book and kicked it away from her making the one hiding nearby jolted. Hellion sensed it moving away as she playfully stroke the dagger into sharpness. T
“Urk”Hellion spat out blood as the back of the blade hit her stomach. She took a staggering step back and glanced up to the two demons who were swirling their knife towards her.She tilted her head and look at her dagger. It’s already worn out and the blade was already malformed because she cut the thick skin countless times. She gritted her teeth and wiped away the blood on her mouth as she tried to strike a fatal blow again.The two demons evade her as they retreat on the opposite side. Hellion squinted her eyes and look on her right as she managed to dodge the coming blade towards her neck however, the demon on the left side successfully cut through her leg slashing a long wound. Hellion shook as she felt unsteady.She retreat a few steps and leapt away from the two but as she landed her feet she felt the stinging pain of the cut. She darted her face towards them and pursed her
“Crying in such a place. You really look ugly.” A cold voice sounded from her rear as the footsteps began to get closer to her position. Hellion look up and saw the familiar face who had left her alone before. Xegris bent down as he held out his hand to her. Hellion widened her eyes a bit and stared in his hand, dazed. How come when she need someone he always appear? Why is it always him who would come to save her? Seeing him every time she broke down is somewhat unscientific but… Hellion pursed her lips, tears started to build up again. Xegris clicked his tongue as he look at him with slight disgust. She slowly reached out to his hand as he supported her to get up. She then stared at his face which was also had some trace of blood. Did he also encounter danger and fought? Hellion smiled softly as she thought of it. Maybe, he finally repented on his mistake and decided to accompany me. After
Chains bonded into her wrist, her body hung low as the beautiful face drooped, her eyes tightly shut while her brows occasionally wrinkle in discomfort. Hellion was tied up yet again, her dress silently flutter in the wind with her feet floating in the ground. She look like those who were executed for their crime.But what crime have she even committed to resort to this…The room was quiet, just like the place she had been shackled before. This one is also similar but the only difference is that the executioner was with her unlike back then.Xegris sat in cross-arms on the table near her, his eyes remained on her body as the torn dress revealed some portion of her skin.His eyes squinted a bit as a trace of interest flicker in his irises. Hid throat suddenly felt parched as he dug his gaze into her flesh.Hellion knitted her brows as she opened her eyes, sensing a strange
“Gasp!”Hellion abruptly sat up as she consciously touch her neck. A bandage? She then look at her wrist that were also tied up with white cloth. I didn’t die?She recalled the sensation of being pierced as the blood inside her chilled. She really died that time right? Hellion shivered a bit as she felt her blood gone cold.But.. why was she alive? To experienced that moment again or does Xegris actually decided to spare her?She held her head in confusion and glanced up only to see that she was in an unfamiliar room. She sat on a bed enough to fit two and was in a fairly decorated room. There was a tea table on her left and a wardrobe on her right. There’s also a couple of stuff in the room that was intricately designed with black and gold.She avert her gaze into the sheets and found it was stained with a liquid(?)Hellion tried to m
Xegris put down the cup as he stared silently on the person on the bed. He glued her eyes on her face as he admire the beautiful picture in front of him. This girl, she resist a lot no matter what kind of torture he does to her. She won’t dropped, her will was so solid like an iron being melt only to be tough.He coldly look at her neck as he suddenly got the urge to grab her and pinned her down on the sheets. What would it be like if he pushed her down like that? Will she scream in pleasure or pain? Xegris gulped hard as he let out a mischievous smile, the thought suddenly comes into his mind.He really wanted to do her. To own her, to make her submit to her, to tame her as he wants. He really wanted to possess her.Her everything should belong to him. Even if he denies the truth, his heart has been stolen by her already.His eyes glinted in crimson as he slowly stood up from his seat. He then
