The moment the beam of light invaded Damon’s line of vision, his instinct kicked on. Though he did not know anything about a wizard’s space magic, he knew one thing and that was the fact that they got a grumpy arch angel inside the magic ball. His lover’s face flashed in his mind in a split second – Maleficent. Without thinking further, Damon opened both of his palms. This action of his did not leave unnoticed from the apprentice angel, Apollo Sky, who frowned upon seeing the runes around the halfling prince.
Not minding the reaction of Apollo Sky the Loyal, Damon used the fraction of a minute interval to call for his demonic runes. Though he could not shapeshift, he could still make use of his demonic aura to protect her. “Go!”
As soon as he fisted his hands, the circling red-colored runes around his hands spread like waves around him. Since these waves were not meant to harm but to protect, the surge of demonic waves of magic from
“Why are you with a demon-spawn, Apollo Sky?”On cue, two heads snapped to the source of the chilly voice. As the beam of light vanished into thin air, what remained before them was the emotionless arch angel – Michael the Loyal. His hands were inside his unstained white-colored cotton pants as he cocked his head while waiting for the answer of his son. Michael the Loyal did not even spare the demon prince a second glance as if by merely looking at demon prince was a big insult for his divinity.Damon could not help but scoffed from the clear display of racism from the being that was supposed to be the most righteous one among all the other races of the worlds. The irony! Crossing his arms before him, he cocked his head as well, gaze transfixed to the arch angel. He was getting his middle finger ready should the oh-so-righteous Michael would look at his direction.“Father, it is high time for us to talk,” said Apollo Sky after swall
It was Maleficent’s turn to gasp upon seeing Damon kneeling on the ground. Though the beam of light was fading, Maleficent could only see the outlines of Damon and Apollo Sky’s silhouettes. And from what she was seeing, it had only increase her desire to shatter the red aura protecting them like a cocoon.“Is that?” Levi the Envious did a double take, confirming Maleficent’s thoughts that what she was seeing was not a product of a mere imagination that resulted from her desire to go with the two. Levi the Envious leaned forward, a frown crawled to his ashen face as if he did not believe what he was seeing. “Is that Damon the Prideful kneeling towards Apollo Sky the Loyal? And where the friggin’ fuck is Michael the Loyal?” He whipped his head in alternation to the emotionless Maleficent the Glutton and to the equally tight-lipped Merlin the Necromancer. Upon seeing that no one would answer him, Levi the Envious could only roll hi
“Y-You dare!” Michael the Loyal glared at the demon prince. If looks could kill, it would be safe to say that Damon would be burned to cinders already. But instead of cowering from the piercing gaze of the leader of arch angels, Damon gave him the biggest grin he could master. This nonchalant behavior, in which Damon got from Levi the Envious, earned the demon prince the wrath of Michael the Loyal.Azure hue of swirling runes surrounded the frowning Michael the Loyal. Instead of forming a pentagram around him, the runes of spells attached to his body like a second skin. The glowing runes of blue and white kissed every nook and cranny of the arch angel’s skin as his cerulean eyes gleamed like the deepest parts of the ocean.A knot lodged deep between Damon’s brows while Apollo Sky’s identical cerulean eyes widened upon seeing the changes of the leader of the arch angels before them.‘This spell!’ Apollo Sky the Loyal lost
“Lady, I like you for my son,” said Ilorde right after she chucked her son away from harm by intercepting the fist with her shadow-coated tail. Ilorde’s voice vibrated the swift rancid air of the Nether World since her voice deepened whenever she talked using her shapeshifted body. Her plan was to trash the fucker from her son, plain and simple. But a horned and winged Halfling, like her son, stepped forward among the three onlookers she saw right after she arrived. The lady who rescued her from the dungeons with only one condition: to beat the shit out of her husband. Apparently, this lady was also the special someone of her beloved son – though Ilorde only discovered it by hearing the pounding of the Halfling’s heart as they dashed to save her son from the fucker. ‘Speaking of the fucker.’“Who are you? Wait,” said Michael the Loyal as he maneuvered his wings from them. “Blue scales. You are Ilorde from the elusive
A single cold sweat trickled from Maleficent’s left brow down to her unblinking eye. The pounding of her heart soared, for she knew at the back of her mind that it would only take one more round of the arch angel’s kill spell and she would be in peril along with Damon’s mother. She was about to call her familiar when she froze. Maleficent the Glutton remembered that she had order her Calamity Dragon to take Damon, Apollo Sky, Levi, and Merlin away from the site that they were fighting at since she knew that Michael the Loyal would give his best shot this time. She needed to separate the magic ball from the leader of the arch angels – for now. While her father and the demon king were yet to come, she needed to stall the damn arch angel first.“Lady, listen to me. I can die in peace right now since I have touched my son for the first time after many years. That is enough for me,” said Ilorde. Her tone was heavy yet determined as she gazed at
Maleficent’s fingernails slipped off from her skinned hands. Her flesh had revealed her bones from the tips of her fingers to her elbows. Teeth gnashed together, the Glutton heir controlled the shadows from the safety of her circling runes. Every impact of Heaven’s Kiss to her shadows, her heart pounded. A clog in her throat suffocated her so she had to breathe through her nose which was dripping with dark red blood. Her eyes reddened as veins started to pop one after the other. With pupils now dilated, her gaze remained transfixed to the roaring arch angel beyond her green runes.A set of bloodied teeth welcomed the darkened gaze of the leader of arch angels. To set him off more, Maleficent the Glutton stretched her lips to offer him her widest grin before she mouthed two words: fuck you.“If I can’t kill your father, then I rather die as I bring you both with me to the abyss!” Michael the Loyal flew a few meters away from the two before
Selaphiel the Fallen had held her daughter’s shoulders as she brought her to safety. What she meant by safey was a two-layered shadows weaved by Grand Duke Beelzebub the Glutton in one swing and a ground with black feathers for her daughter to rest while she would skin Michael herself. She knew that she told her ex husband that she would be the one to kill the arch angel or else she would strangle the grand duke herself – no pun intended. “M-Mother?” It was the second time that Maleficent called her mother just to make sure that she was not hallucinating. The second time her mother hummed, she knew right there and then that the one cradling her was indeed her mother who had come for her. A sigh of relief escaped from her chapped lips before her wings vanished into thin air – fully surrendering to the exhaustion that plugged her body. It was such a wonder how strong she felt earlier at the face of her enemy but when her mother cradled her, it was as if her limbs had turned in
“Dad!” Maleficent screamed the hell out upon seeing how her father was being surrounded by the arch angels. Dozens of question wacked her mind but one question prevailed: why were there able to escape the magic ball of Merlin? She inched herself away from Damon’s grasp around her waist with an intention to save her father when Damon’s hold against her body had tightened as if he was telling her to stay put. In an even tone, she ordered him. “Let me go, Damon. And I will forget that you stopped me from saving my family.” The coldness in Maleficent’s voice made Damon flinch as his hold around her waist loosened. He could only grit his teeth as he remembered how his father flinched from his mother’s touch. Somehow, he already saw his future – still, he did not want to change it. “Be careful. I will be one step behind you, Maleficent.” As soon as he let go of her waist, a hole appeared over them and a roaring black-scaled dragon immerged. On cue, Maleficent bolted away from him
Maleficent stared at the gates of the Transylvania Academy. A pair of black dragon-like wings folded behind her as she landed a few meters before her alma mater. She did not know why, but it felt like a long time since she was here yet in reality it was only a few weeks.She could still remember the first time she saw this school, she did not think that she would value this place so much. Maleficent never thought that she would treat this academy as a place closest to home. For the past years of her life, even though she grew up in a foster home, Maleficent could not sense any sense of belong there – not until she met the people she grew to care about in Transylvania Academy.That was why, in that illusion, she was able to see the light at the end of a seemingly endless loop of despair. The shackles of the past? She was already free from it. All thanks to those who trusted her, cared for her, and loved her despite the horns and gigantic wings.For those who trusted Maleficent despite
Before Maleficent 's mind shatter to the endless stream of torment, a warm aura enveloped her curling and shaking body. Like a cocoon of protection, it soothed her mind, body, and soul.Though ethereal, Maleficent was familiar with the warmth being emitted from the crimson-colored aura around her. With teary eyes, Maleficent stopped shaking and screaming words of helplessness and profanities."Sshh.. Stop crying, little Halfling." A deep and warm voice vibrated within her, muting the wicked one. The voice continued, "Remember, amidst the painful memories you have, you have bright ones as well. For every step you take back you forward thrice the distance from the past. Why? Because you have us and we have you. You are not alone anymore.""I.. I am not alone anymore?" "Remember... Where you surrender yourself to this prince. Like I said, there will be no going back. The moment you accepted me, there is no more turning back... little Halfling."Where I surrender myself?Flashback...“I
"Stop it! Stop this!" Maleficent was now hysterical. Even with her efforts to stop the wicked voice from spewing nonsense in her mind over and over again. "Stop spouting nonsense!""Hehehe! What nonsense? All chatters of these are facts! They are flashbacks from your memories!""You're right. These are all memories so it is now part of my past." There was now a hint of strength in Maleficent's voice."Foolish woman indeed! Hahaha! You... You will feel that familiar sense of loss and pain once more, Daughter of Greed!"Maleficent's heart pounded which immediately dimmed the small ray of light for Maleficent. "Wha-What do you mean?""Like what happened to that time when you almost that Halfling Prince, you will feel that helplessness and fear and sorrow once more sooner than later! But this time, you will lose him for eternity! Hahaha!"Flashback..Maleficent was too fixated on using her ability as the wielder of the darkness that she stupidly failed to realize the dwindling state of he
"My father knows why I did that! You can't brainwash me!" Maleficent the Glutton found her strength as she stood. Her gaze followed the swirling black smoke around her. "He won't abandon me!""Ting! Ting! Ting! You are wrong again! Haven't you remember? He once abandoned you! Hahahaha! Foolish girl!"Flashback... “Please, leave me alone,” said the Halfling, “I…I don’t want to see you anymore. So please, throw away all the guilt that you have in your heart and know that for a short period of time, you made me feel the emotions I thought I would die without.” The Halfling cleared her throat as if a lump was lodged in it before she continued. “Please respect my decision.” On cue, the torches that littered the prison cell were engulfed by a cluster of shadow for a fraction of a minute, deeming the entire prison cell for a small period of time that it was almost unnoticeable. People would believe that it was the grand duke who lost his composure during his visit, but Damon the prideful
Maleficent shook her head. Both of her hands were now covering her ears yet it did not lessen the malicious whispers that seemed to resonate within her mind — within her soul."You are a child of misfortune!""Your existence is a mistake!""Maleficent, you are a child of disaster. No. You are the disaster yourself. You bring pain wherever you go!"Hot tears continued to trickle down Maleficent's chin as she closed her eyes tightly while shaking her head profusely. "No! You're wrong! I still have father!""Fool! You are your father's greatest heartache! He regrets that he brought you back from the mortal world!"Flashback...Grand Duke Beelzebub the Glutton lost the will to live the moment he thought he lost his wife. His misery did not lessen when he had to let go of his daughter and watched her grew up from the sidelines as one of her shadows. He had foolishly thought that it would all soon go away the moment he would take her from the wretched mortal world – or so he thought. He fai
"When you died, you angered the heavenly law!"A frown painted on Maleficent's face as she watched the image of Damon vanished once more, replaced by a dark smoke swirling around her. "Why? How did I anger the heavens?"A vicious laughter resonated within Maleficent's sea of consciousness. "Fool! You just took an archangel from the heavens!"Flashback...SELAPHIEL, a newly bloomed fallen angel, quivered upon the howl of sorrow that she had heard amid the cackles of the thunderstorm that loomed the entire Rancid City. Perhaps it was guilt that made her froze rather than to race to where the sound was coming from. It was as clear as the lightning bolt that littered the darkened skies of the Nether World who screamed those anguished laden screams. The disparity dripped from every letter of the word he cried from the top of his lungs.“Maleficent, my baby girl…” Translucent droplets fell from her eyes as her chest tightened upon the very thought of losing her child before she could even h
Maleficent the Glutton, who was now tugging her horn while tears trickled down her face, willed herself to stand up from being slumped."No... I will protect my parents so that... So that nothing will happen to them." Though Maleficent's voice was barely a whisper, it was filled with determination.But a mocking voice resonated in the darkness once again. This time, it did not belong to Maleficent's mother's voice but from Damon!"Liar! You died because you are weak! So how can you protect us?"Flashback...“Indeed. Farewell.” Maleficent whispered. On cue, a roaring sound elicited from behind him before he was taken by the looming shadow of the gigantic winged serpent.After her last two words, the entire arena had turned into one extensive domain for Maleficent. Her emerald eyes glowed more than ever at that exact moment; the song of battle cries echoed from her mouth as she screamed, flipping her position. Now, she was the one sitting atop the shell-shocked Gabriel the Faithful.“Di
Lost in a train wreck of vicious thoughts whispered by the man called Steffan along with the cries of Maleficent 's mortal victims, the Glutton heir started to crumble."I... I have my family..." Maleficent, though it was a whisper, tried her earnest to fight the malevolent thoughts that wreck havoc in her mind.But a mocking laughter echoed within Maleficent's mind that made her freeze. It was not the malicious laughter that made her stop from her tracks, rather, it was the familiarity of the voice.On cue, Steffan's face turned to a silhouette of Aurora — Maleficent's mother. Gone was the warmth in her eyes as she glared at the shell-shocked Maleficent."How do you know that I am genuine with your fickle family obsession, dear daughter?" "N-No way...""I did it once. What's stopping me to do it one more time?"FLASHBACK…“That? That w-woman is my mother?” With widened eyes, shivers wracked her body as if a bucket of cold water splashed her rigid standing form. The glowing embers of
"What I want? I want you to remember that a sinner like you is not allowed to feel any emotion but fear. Think of it as a payment for all the lives you carelessly took back when you were at the Mortal's Realm, Maleficent."With one statement, it sucked Maleficent the invisible shield of her title as Maleficent the Glutton as if she was back to what she was before she met her father.Flashback 3:THE STALE colors of her ceiling welcomed her when she woke up briskly. Her ragged breathing and her sweat-covered shin were not a new thing for Cent. She spent her seventeenth year dreaming as if she was being chased by something ominous only to wake up abruptly when a pair of large flaming hands engulfed her. This vicious cycle became a regular thing for her since she celebrated her seventeenth birthday. And now, with her eighteenth birthday just two days from today, her nightmare became longer and hotter in a sense as if she was soaked to be boiled.Glancing at the alarm clock on her side ta
