As grandma Jane walked away, Mona inched closer toward her, whispering lowly, “She is a sorceress for sure.”

“And quite a dark one,” sighed Rose who then rested her back deeper to the couch, “I didn’t expect her to have died. Now we have no choice but to form contract with the demon.”

“But to just be certain we should talk with the Master again and ask him for a spell where we could use to locate whether Hannah Maury is still alive or have she died,” Mona suggested and Rose agreed.

She then hummed a long time, pondering in the informations she received, “If Hannah Maury was found dead twenty years ago, that would coincide with Dominic’s age. This makes it possible that she died right after granting the wish as how the Duke had asked her.”

“I’m curious too how the Duke know her. Sorceress tend to hide themselves and I wonder how such insane woman would agree easily in lending a help to the Duke for his own selfishness,” Mona whispered in a low hum.

Rose also wondered the same. If Han

I am horrified thinking like Rose, maybe that wasn’t her grandma. Or the truth is warped.

    The master eyed the brown notebook, gently lifting them with his hand to open and read what was written. After scanning a long while, he noticed that all parts of the book have been covered with black magic. He quickly settled it down with a sour expression which Rose take as his disagreement to what he had seen written down there. “This belonged to her?” The master then took a long hum when she had nodded her head. “To tell you the truth, I don’t know who Hannah Maury is.” “But she is one of the sorceress,” said Rose. She knew how the master took care of every and each one of his sorcerers and Hannah Maury should be included in it…“There are sorcerers whom I have told you been brought without knowing of their true identity, right?” The master brought up which Rose questioned why. “Yes like me,” she responded. “Hannah Maury was never a part of my coven. Not because I did not accept her but I never knew she was a sorcerer. It’s possible from just seeing all this magic circles and

    Dominic stepped out from the carriage. His eyes found the large building which was the headquarters of the Orders. They had called him in to question of the incidents regarding the gargoyles that had appeared suddenly in their mansion. He knew many ways to lie his way through but today he had some other thoughts. While the King and Queen was none of his business, he had promised his cousin that he would bring Essex down for him. With a smile Dominic marched forward only to hear Starvos beside him who whispered, “Say your sly expression is showing. You should try and keep down that cocky smile of yours.” Dominic raised his eyebrows and chuckled, “I don’t think I had such a bad expression on my face though?” “Oh for sure you are. You know how ever since we entered this building, everyone is looking to our side?” Starvos said, and even as his eyes move aside, he found people still looking to their side, making it clear that the person attracting the most attention was Dominic.“Let’s

    Rose who had came back saw from outside the carriage that stopped in front of the house, immediately knowing it was the carriage that Dominic had used to leave. She quickly pulled the scarf over her body, running toward the door and rushing to see him. Dominic had just stepped out when he saw Rose running with a big smile in her face, “You’re home!”“I’m back,” Dominic chuckled as he hugged her, taking in her small body to his embrace. After noticing how she was silent, Dominic raised his eyebrows, “Did you missed me that much?”He had asked the question to tease her, not expecting for Rose to actually nod her head quickly in conformation. “Are you really worried about me visiting the Orders?” Dominic hushed her by kissing her forehead. “Darling it’s alright. Nothing had happened, see?”Rose nodded when in truth the thing she had worried the most wasn’t his visit to the orders and they posed the least danger to her eyes. She was more anxious as she had made her mind to tell the trut

    Dominic felt as though his heart had been pushed into a cold black ocean. He stared still at Rose, feeling angered but more than anything broken when he saw how Rose had turned into a mess. Her tears were spilling out from her eyes, her lips had turned bloody as she had been biting on it. Her hand and her entire body was trembling to the point that it felt as though she had took a dip in the ocean during a cold winter.Pulling her closer, Dominic rested her head on his shoulders. He hugged her wordlessly, letting her cry on his place as he had no more tears to shed. “Cry it out,” Dominic said to her ears. “Cry it out. Don’t worry. Let it out, let everything out.” Rose sobbed. His kindness only caused her heart to ache even more. How.. how can there be anyone who would hurt him? Such precious person.. such person!Rose tightly held to his back, her words came out broken and in breathy gasps as he cried out, “I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry.. I’m—”Dominic who couldn’t hear her plea

    Rose who felt relaxed after spilling the truth was glad that there was no negative reaction from Dominic. She knew he must felt a stormy emotions inside him right now and she was correct. But with their body entangled on the bed in a hug, that was enough to put them to rest together, to keep their tired heart a little pause from the fast moving world. Meanwhile, Mona who had locked herself in her room was in the middle of an experiment. She placed a blue colored liquid into a transparent glass beaker. Her eyes stared how the color quickly switched when it touched the red water.“I think I can do this now,” she murmured, pulling the flask of thick blood which she had stolen from Starvos without his notice. She recalled how she had tried to deceive Starvos to steal his blood and was certain that there would be no more chances for her to take his blood without his notice. “That’s why werewolves are troublesome,” whispered Mona. “But if I messed it up now, I would be royally fucked,” s

    Rose reached out her hand to hold on to Dominic’s. They then stride toward the house, looking around to find how on a closer look the neighbor houses were empty. Rose gulped, wondering if there was even anyone alive near them.As she entered she found the dark couch with the main chair settled right in front of it which belonged to Hannah Maury who had taken a seat on it. Hannah Maury stared at what’s in front of her which was a teacup. Seeing that Rose and Dominic had entered she smiled, offering the seats in front of her with her hands, “Come over.” Rose felt uneasy with her smile but Dominic encouraged her by leading them both to the seats. As they sat down, Hannah Maury hummed for a long time, waiting for Starvos and Mona who later entered and seat near the chair on her left. “You asked what I wanted?” Hannah Maury questioned, softening the curves of her lips. “I wanted knowledge.” Rose bite her lips, “Do you also form a contract with a demon?” Hannah Maury looked at Rose and

    Hannah Maury went silent hearing her words. A small laughter slipped from her mouth that began to get louder and echo all over the room. She pushed her hair to the back of her head and looked back at Rose with her shoulders still shaking, “I can’t do that. Just because I want a successor doesn’t mean that I want to die now either. I want someone who can continue my legacy after I die, not me wanting to die.” Rose sighed plainly as her green eyes rolled aside. The lights from her eyes had disappeared, giving her the coldest look on her face that Dominic had never seen until now. “Well then that means you won’t have a successor,” Rose looked at Dominic, whispering, “Are you ready?” Dominic knew this was her sign to fight. He smiled and whispered back to her, “Even if the sky fall, I will be here facing it all with you.” Rose smiled, then turning her face to Hannah Maury whose face quickly morphed into a wretched expression as anger turned her beautiful face frightening to be looked

    “I would say that you are insane,” Starvos chuckled as he saw her hand moving forward, causing the sharp thorn to be thrown to his side, almost piercing his shoulders. “But I am also insane.” Mona who had been holding to his hand from the side, continue to shut her eyes, whispering a magic spell without breaking a single breath. Starvos’s eyes fell on her who didn’t stop the spell, “Are you sure this will work?” “Of course if you are indeed a strong as you proclaimed yourself to be, this magic will for sure protect you,” Mona whispered to him, “But remember not to use this recklessly. I’ll take care of the thorns and you take care of hers.” “Well plantation had never been my forte but killing humans are,” Starvos grinned and when Mona released his hand, he cracked his neck, stretching his wrist that he felt ache a little. “Come here you bitch. I need to make sure you feel the same pain Elizabeth went through.” Hannah Maury still hold herself together even as she was against the tw

Some of the guests gladly greeted Dominic and his wife, Rose. They had acknowledge her soon and even called Dominic “duke”. As soon after the incident, Dominic ruled out is father’s death and take over the duchy, being the new ruler of his fief. “Congratulation on your marriage, I apologize for being late with my words of happiness, Duke Dominic,” said one of the guest, Mr. Hanggs. “It’s nice to see you too, madam Rose.”“Pleasure to meet you,” Rose greeted the man’s words back. “How is the land now to you, Mr. Hanggs?” Dominic asked the wise man who seemed to be quiet. “It does feel different now. I gradually found people who could suddenly fill empty barrel with water as miracle instead of fearing them. I’m also glad to see how wise our King is as he had rooted off all the corrupted royals.

    The ground shook and the impact of the explosion launched both Dominic and Rose backward. When Rose couldn’t hold him tighter anymore, she almost slipped from his back and fell. Seeing that, Dominic changed to his human form, capturing her body even though he was on air and shielded her in a tight hug as they roll down across the cold floor with a harsh thud. Both Shawn and Gallahan was thrown backward. They tried to nail their feet on the floor to no avail as the extreme explosion would had destroyed the entire land if not because of the shield that Gallahan had perfected for years from his life. The entire world turn black for a moment and by the time it turn brighter again, Shawn saw Gallahan who had sprawled across the floor and Balbazor who had been reduced into a scorched human corpse. Even after that however, Balbazor didn’t stop moving. He crawled with his body like a snake, disregarding how his fingers had been turned into ash. No one could ever see his features anymore, o

    Gallahan faced off Balbazor alone. It was a crazy feat to not even die after receiving the harmful attack that was made to eradicate humans and Gallahan’s performance so far have shocked everyone including Balbazor himself. “You are agile,” commented Balbazor. “But if this tentacles weren’t around me, I would have destroyed you in seconds by now.” “Making excuses now? When you killed my family with your curse, you were extremely silent. I’ll put that mouth of yours to rest too,” Gallahan quirked a smirked, urging anger and fuming Balbazor. The ancient demon opened his mouth again but this time, Gallahan had a smarter option. Rather than shielding himself, he rushed forward. Balbazor smiled, thinking how foolish this human is for coming on to him face to face but he was startled as he saw Gallahan had dodged his previous explosion attack. This time, Gallahan murmured a spell and a sharp blue light appeared from his hand which went straight directly to Balbazor’s thick neck. The an

    “Brother, are we not related?” Young Shawn’s voice echoed against his ears. Dominic looked down at the child that had overheard the conversation of the adult. Gently he wrapped his fingers around his brother’s little ones and gave him a gentle smile, “Does it matter? Nothing will change even if we aren’t related, you will always be my brother.”Back to the present, Dominic found himself yelling at Shawn’s name as Balbazor had thrown a powerful magic at them. Rose’s eyes snapped open, showing the glistening green eyes of her had changed into purple. At the same time she uttered her spell, the wall broke. Dominic took no chance. He jumped from the staircase, landing down his two feet as a wolf and ran after Shawn. Surprisingly, Gallahan had stood in front of Shawn, shielding them both from the explosion. “I told you to stay away child!” Gallahan yelled to Rose who had rebuilt the wall.“I can help you ease the miasma,” she said, convincing the man only to see him frowning in disagre

    When Dominic and Rose arrived at the foot of the door, they found that the glow of purple light had stopped and was quickly greeted by the roar of a monster. “It’s Balbazor, the ancient demon,” Rose explained, jumping down from his body. Dominic shook off his fur and turned into his human form, standing right beside her fully clothed. Although there are other pressing matter she couldn’t help and pointed out, “You can be clothed now?” “Hm?” Dominic looked down on himself, “Right I got taught by the other werewolves how to do that the last time we met.” Rose smiled, thinking how surely the relationship between him and his father had evolved into something closer where they could teach and talk to each other eye to eye. Seeing the progress, she felt moved. “Well what is with this Balbazor?” Dominic pushed the door open for her, they both entering the mansion only to feel the ground beneath them shaking. “He is the ancient demon who had formed contract with the first sorceress.

    Gallahan wasn’t daunted by the fact that Balbazor was more than fifth fold of him, looking even bigger and monstrous. Shawn could feel that demon had no pity or hesitation on him, willingly killing anyone who stood on his way. For a moment Shawn questioned how he could ever kill this monstrous being in front of him, finding it abhorrent that his entire instinct yelled that killing it would be close to impossible. Even coming near the monster he could feel the brimming heat that would burn his skin. “Shawn,” Gallahan called his attention to make sure the younger man wouldn’t feel daunted and eaten alive by his own fear. Shawn then watched Gallahan who in comparison seemed to be eagerly waiting for this chance to come his hand. It was something he had been waiting for a long time… finally he could avenge the death of his family who all ended due this demon’s twisted curse! “I want to kill you, you won’t even believe how much I have been looking forward to this day.

    Dominic’s silver eyes also noticed the swirl of purple glow from the black mansion and turned his head again to the view before him. “What did you and the Master talked about?” Inquired Dominic while they run through the forest. “I told him that I will do something about the demon inside Isaac if he could help me end my curse but then he surprised me by saying that he doesn’t need help.” Rose responded. “I trust him.” “I do think he is someone who wouldn’t hurt his fellow sorcerer, you weren’t wrong in trusting him,” Dominic encouraged her. “But that sound too good to be true. He always ask people for payment if he help them.” “He did ask for something, he said to continue fooling my demon, Babylion,” uttered Rose. “I asked him why and he told me so he could use Babylion to kill that ancient demon in response.”“So this entire charade is because of him.” Dominic narrowed his eyes. They can’t seem to trust the Master completely, that man would do anything if it means to fulfil his

    Shawn’s eyebrows furrowed as he saw a bright purple glow appearing from the room where the master and Isaac had fought in. As the master’s hand had been touched, Isaac had fulfilled his promise to erase the curse that plagued the Master. This should have call for a celebration regardless of the Master’s wish of never leaving the cave. But by fulfilling Isaac’s promise, the demon in him finally demanded for his reward and that reward was… for him to manifest into the world inside his body!When something suddenly clicked in his mind, Shawn bubbled out of anger.“Damn it! Damn it!” Shawn yelled, finally realizing the big mistake that he made by trusting that damn sorcerer king! He rushed out of the room, questioning everything that the sorcerer had done. He first of told him to imbue his magic on the crystal ball as if doing that would help. He said that by calming Isaac, he could convince him to drive out the demon inside. He also claimed that he wouldn’t kill Isaac thus why he had

    Rose could feel the dark magic that entered her skin, crawling in such a disgusting way that she wanted to hurl but she couldn’t. There was something that was stopping her from moving and she couldn’t understand it as it felt slightly different when compared to the demonic magic that he uses on her. “Rose, make my life more colorful, won’t you?” Whispered Babylion. “Now go and betray your beloved. I want to see his face twisting in pain. From your memories, he seemed to the most fun to mess with.” Rose wanted to say no, she wanted to yell and disagree with Babylion’s words but she couldn’t move. She then had the sudden idea to play by what Babylion wanted and nodded her head slowly, agreeing that she would betray Dominic while her eyes turning unfocused, looking exactly similar as to someone who had just been bewitched.“Good, now play with me.” Back to the present, Rose run through her thins hands between her hair and pushed the golden locks to the back of her head, she sighed hea
