Chapter Twenty

She reached out for anyone's thought but nothing came. No one was there. She tried another way. She'd learned so far that some people guide their thought and an effective way to get them is to use your inner sight, even spirits can be detected through this.

She stood still, first controlling her own breathe. She kept her eye shut, tried to view things as she could feel them. The first attempt got her nothing and she believed she wasn't relaxed enough so she tried again. Concentrating on every single change or sound, she got something. She heard a slight whine, a sound most likely to be made by an animal but she just hoped it was human. She followed the direction  of the sound. As she walked farther she could see a small whitish thing that looked like cotton or a woolen

  Emiliar found herself in a room. It had a sense of royalty, she was bounded in chains so she could not have a full view of it. She was thrown into this room by the people who carried her and they all walked away like they were not allowed to enter. She sat there awaiting whatever they were bringing to her. She heard whispers at the back of the door and she listened carefully. " How did humans enter our territory? We should be cautious. Definitely someone is stabbing our back and they know the consequence of this. Tell everyone that the culprit will not go unpunished" Another said." Prince Julian just arrived" "You mean my son

  Julian sat on his own royal stool right beside his father. He watched the whole merriment and feasting. He watched the female dancers showcase their own self and the male dancers take the advantage. He watched his father steal glances at him. That was what he expected though. He left this world as a boy and now he's back as a man. He watched the ladies glare and even wink at him. He's handsome no doubt but his father should be more. Who dares wink at the king? He watched everything quietly, he heard his father's plan of giving him a wife and crowning him immediately so he won't go back again. If only they understood why he was here. He is Joel not Julian anymore and he would not do things with demons ever again. He was just baffled. He has not seen any of the girls he came with. He hasn't seen Katrienair or Emiliar yet. And he needs to find them as soon as possible. They are the reason why he is back

  Luna jumped out of my dress. Sometimes, I feel she's a coward. Since I got chained here she hasn't defended me. She's always hiding in my dress. Well, another part of me just believed she didn't want to leave me. Or maybe she had predicted that she can't win any fight with those men. The man in green light, my comforter stared at her that I became curious. Well, bounded in those chains limited my ability to do some things. Things like asking numerous questions, I feel too weak to do that. “ Please help me out of these chains first” I pleaded. I still haven't believed his words about training in chains. It's not possible. “What's her name? ” He practically ignored my question. “Luna”I said, angry

  "Are you sure?" He asked me. Ridiculous question, for crying out loud am just human or who else am I? "I don't know" I answered trying to be diplomatic. I don't know why he's always making me look like a fool. "Should I remind you and you pay the consequences attached to wasting my time or you think yourself. Are you ordinary? Are you just human?" "I'm different, I know that but I'm flesh. I don't disappear like you do. I'm just Katrienair, not a ..." I remembere

  After the coronation, Julian was allowed to go to his chamber. He buried his head in his palm, thinking of what to do. Life as a traitor in the territory of demons cannot be easy. And now it's even worse, he is their crowned king. How the hell can he manage to fight his own people and destroy his own territory all alone. He will die. He's sworn an oath by eating the kings food. He has sworn allegiance, he's caged now and nothing can work through him anymore. What the hell was he thinking? Why did he allow that to happen? Well it isn't his fault anyway, It happened so quickly and he had no choice. He scanned around the room, looking disconcerted. 'If only Katrienair was here' he thought. At least, he's back in this evil territory because of her. &n

  Julian walked back into his chamber. He saw that Emiliar was fast asleep on the bed in one of the rooms. He wondered how bold she could be. She still had the heart to sleep in the midst of all these tribulations or maybe she just thinks all was well. Well, you never can tell how faithful witches can be. He stood there staring at her as she was curled like a baby beneath the bedsheets. She seemed like she had high hopes that everything will be alright. She trusted him that he won't give her up or believed that she won't get caught in his chamber. He walked away to the other room and slumped on the bed. Sleep was very far from him. In fact there was no way he could sleep now that Katrienair is not here and wherever she was, she would be suffering. According to Emiliar, she's chained. He can't live with the fact that she's in danger somewhere.

  He came again in green light. He came at the right time anyway. Right now I needed someone to be with me and he came. I was still chained and somehow I feel I have been forgotten in this place. No one has come to check on me and this absolute darkness frustrates me the most. My comforter is back for my training. I'm quite happy about it but I wish I knew what I'm being trained for. Maybe he sees the future already, I might be preparing for a war that is beyond me. Why me? "Master" I said as I saw him. He looked indifferent. " The one." He said, his voice echoing in my head." you are not training here today."

  I was angry, very angry. I was wondering if I'm here to train or die. Really, with the way things are, I might have trusted my enemy too much. He might be here for a mission. “you are here to train, not to think. Focus Katrienair. ” “I wasn't thinking! ” I countered. I just felt tired—fed up of everything. I don't deserve this kind of treatment from him. He's supposed to be my comforter. “ You were lost in thought about your past. ” He chuckled —an ev

  "Deal?"Roger asked."The men would have to fight fist then."Alistair replied.Julian stepped out, Raleigh also. To Julian, the fight was for a different cause. Raleigh had tried to poison him the night before, he hadn't exposed him because he knew deep down that it would be nicer if kept it for another day. The day came rather too quickly. Raleigh also was eager, with Julian out of the way, his plan would go out just well and he'll have the whole demonic territory to himself, probably the whole world."I've always waited for this day"Raleigh muttered, am evil grin on his face."Then go on." Julian's expression was rather bland.The two charged at each other. Julian held his lance to a perfect aim while dodging Raleigh's spear. I never expected the fight to be so short and easy. The spear caught Raleigh right in his chest, below his heart though. That could not make him die but at it he got weak. Julian walked over his body and brought his spear down to his heart. Bloo

  "You will rot in hell!"He yelled and turned to leave. Alistair stopped him."Who deserves to rot in hell Roger?"She spoke into the conch. "You have just one day to make a choice. It's either you come down here to surrender to us or we break into your walls."Roger laughed, sounded like it rooted from some bottled forces in his chest. "You that kid! Let's see who lasts one day."He walked away.I faced Alistair. She just made the wrong decision. Giving Roger even a second can change the way things are going."You know Roger would never surrender to us.""I don't intend to keep him either"Alistair said. "Even if he surrenders, I won't let that devil live, never. It's better to catch the devil unawares. We are going in now."I smiled. Alistair's smart. I guess you have to be a demon to fight a demon. I'm proud of her."So, how do we get in?"I asked. "The soldiers can't climb. They won't be caught unawares then."Alistair nudged me by my side. "You

  "Next, little bit of rain."Alistair said on getting towards the castle, then the rain began. This time, chilly waters dropped.We saw that the walls have been shut tightly with everything Roger possessed. It's the first time in Roger's history, he got suddenly scared of war. It isn't a war anymore or is it?"We're not burning down the castle. Let's go back."I only followed her command. We turned back, going back to our comrades. Looking over the wretch we've created, I could not help but feel pity. I, Katrienair, that weird kid in school, had a part in these. It's unimaginable. I've really grown up and things have really changed. I remembered Arkishair and muttered a little prayer for her. Alistair noticed, her next words proved it."She'll be proud of you.""And you too."Alistair shook her head. "I don't think she would remember."We got to the spot the white coven's army stood, they was massive celebration in the air. They were rejoicing because our

  The number of Roger's troop seemed limitless and no matter how many we killed, it seemed futile. For every hundred that was killed, two hundred appeared. All the while the horizon continued to flood with them, row after row, division after division, crammed up like a million worker ants. They were able to stop the fire, they pushed off the flaming soldiers away an took up new positions. The death of several thousands of their men didn't even put a dent on their forces.Yet at our side, every death made an impact, though we didn't have many. That kept my hope alive. We were already far away from the hill where the war started. Our army was still very much in the spirit. I was proud, they had sustained injuries but that didn't stop them. The key was just the best. It was killing four men at a time. I swinged it around while moving and ducking at the same time. At the corner of my eye, I heard a scream. I had less time to linger on that sight because I was being attacked from ever

  I stood on the top of one of the hills of the northern province of the demons territory, my comrades by my side.The demons' soldiers were already on the horizon. We planned to go meet them at the castle but the sudden change of event didn't matter anyway. All around, men were busy preparing their weapons. Archers took positions, thousands of them, arrows and bows also ready. If they want it on this hill, so be it. Thousands of more men took positions with Spears, young legion members with slings. Thousands of men beneath the hill had swords and Shields and every weapon imaginable. Israel was giving commands, with Alistair, looking stronger by my side. I felt optimistic. This is the war I've lived for. With the Key wounded in my hands, I already knew what the results of the war would be. It would be a hard one though.I looked again over the horizon and reminded myself of what was coming. The demons has never been defeated on any battle. I forced myself to believe that this ti

  There was a feast at the castle. The usual kind of feast Roger has whenever a big war is coming. Julian was in his chamber with kabal, teaching him the things he needed to know, when a guard informed him about the feast and that the king asks that he must be there. Kabal had mix feelings about it but he could not stop his master from attending the feast. Julian instructed him to turn off the lights and go to bed but Kabal could not. He felt something was off. Maybe something really was off. He left the chamber, though late, he had lost sight of Julian. He walked round the castle, searching for the exact place the feast was holding but didn't find it. It's a private feast so it wasn't taken at the assembly hall. Frustrated, he retraced his steps back to the chamber.He was stopped by whisperings from a room, the royal kitchen. His curiosity led on and he decided to have a peek through the half closed window.He saw Raleigh conversing with the head nurse. He had to strain hi

  Sylvia curtsied on seeing Israel walk into her apartment. She had stayed in, brooding since their last talk."Sylvia, how are you doing?"Isreal took a seat on the couch."I'm okay Milord."She answered."You told the head of maids you weren't."Israel haf asked of her from the head maid since he didn't see her thought-out his preparations for Karen and her company.Sylvia muttered an apology."Have you remembered?"He asked. Sylvia gave a solemn nod."Then I have no choice" Israel said. "We have a big war tomorrow. The chosen one and her comrades have arrived. You need your memory because you would be at war tomorrow and you need to remember your fighting skill at least. I can't leave you here in he castle. It's not safe. "He stood up from his seat and moved closer to her. Sylvia froze in place, scared of what his next step would be. She stood up, her back against the wall."We still have some time. it's just noon.

  I decided to go check up on Alistair. Ethan was exiting the room when I walked in. I saw Alistair on her bed, head buried in her pillow. I got curious. What happened here?"Alistair." I joined her. "Hei, it's me."I removed the pillow from her head. I saw her relax. She opened a drawer and gave me a photoframe. I was stunned. There was a couple in it. They looked very young and beautiful. The young woman had long curly golden hair, her green eyes stood out in the picture. The young man was like the most handsome being I've ever seen, I had to remind myself it's just a picture. He had flashy blue eyes and perfect black hair."Our parents. You never met them but..."I was so shocked on hearing this that for a moment I doubted my ears."What did you say?""That's mom and dad. You know them now."She yawned."Oh my...they are stunning. Ah..."I held it to my heart, fantasizing about them feeling my heart beat."I'll find them. I will.""Is there anyt

  " Is that Alistair, the first princess of the white coven." Israel shrieked on seeing us. Even his guards, wore a surprised look. I took a glance at Alistair. Well, her expression was bland but I could tell she wasn't enjoying the publicity.Isreal walked up to us as we dismounted from our horse. He bowed to Alistair. She only nodded."Oh my goodness Milady, we all thought you were dead.""I am."Alistair finally spoke. "I mean, for now. You and your guards should keep this as a secret for now. I'm not ready to reveal myself to the public, okay?""Okay, Milady"Wow, Alistair's perfect!*We walked along the aisle, Israel leading the way. He looked less frigid than he was the last time. He was happy, though when he asked for the chosen one, I said I had no idea. He was surprised I could lift the key, I guess that shut him up. He said he had prepared a table for us but we insisted we needed to rest. It's no good time for eating, is it?He
