He peered at her as her eyes unhurriedly opened. He noticed as she adapted to her surroundings before looking around, inspecting to know where she was. And upon seeing him, he knew she immediately recollected."I-" But Dominus cut her off."How's your head?" He inquired gently. He glimpsed a little graze on her head. It's as if she was hit there. And the bruise appeared new."Fine, thank you," She nudged herself to a crouching level. "Hmmm, how long have I been here?" Her voice was as lightweight as a feather. It was so soft in his ears."Half a day or so," Dominus replied. "Before you conclude to go home, tell me what happened first, I think I deserve to know for saving you,"He noticed how silent she became. "I don't- I-... The southern tribes visited my Father, everybody loathed that tribe, my father the most, but suddenly he wants me to get married to the ruler of the tribe, an old man." She hesitated and took in deep breaths. "I kind of overheard them discussing the marriage, bef
It happened so fast that he could merely heed Anne's sobs. Everything else was blurry to him. He blinked his eyes and scanned his bloody hands and the bunch of dead bodies on the ground. He noticed a heart on his hand, and Anne's Father had a gap in his chest.What happened?Did he- he didn't. He wasn't that insane to wipe everybody out when he came here to rescue a girl."I- I didn't…" He tried to say to Anne, but her teary eyes struck him in the chest.They heard loud footsteps. Dominus stole a glance through the window and noticed the battalion of people with swords walking into the Mansion.They needed to leave, not for his sake but Anne's."We need to leave," He hastily said to Anne. He would drag her out if she doesn't want to follow him.Anne didn't respond."P-please,"Anne slowly raised her gaze from her father to Dominus. "I believe you," She said."Ugh?""You- you weren't the one that killed them, it was a man with a striking resemblance to you."Dominus thought he was the
"Does the name Anne Wilson ring any bells?" Dominus asked.He was the only one with a dragon from where he had come from, his mother had given it to him alongside her powers."I'm afraid it doesn't," The dragon replied politely. "Is something troubling you?" The dragon inquired. The dragon slowly transformed into a man in his mid-thirties."The girl is strange. At first, she saw my other self slaying a bunch of people, and now she noticed the black gene vapor. What is she?"The man sighed before replying. "There's something you should know before I answer that question, it's about your mother. She told me to keep this a secret, she didn't want you in the same mess she found herself in."Dominus shifted from his position. "What's that?""Your mother was a human. Once in a century, a strange woman falls from the sky, many thought they were evil as no one had gone up there before, so they were killed before those strange women could gather the power to stop them." The man paused. He gest
She had guessed he was talking about Dominus. She mentally palmed her forehead. She had just forgotten Vamurus was also his son.It's not as if she wished to marry Dominus, but he came off better than the men she had encountered."I don't think I can help you with that, Mister," She declared politely.The man shifted forth on his chair, "Oh, you can, pretty lady. It's actually quite simple. Just come with Vamurus on the day of the wedding, and the rest would be taken care of,"The way he was gazing at her made her feel nervous. She tossed slowly from her bed. "I need to use the bathroom, please excuse me." She walked at a slow pace so as not to appear suspicious and passed the door. She just hoped he didn't realize the room had a bathroom.She ran quietly as she left his sight, and climbed down the stairs with haste.The entrance door came into view and she exited it.Everywhere was dark, but that was better. She didn't need him to spot her easily. He's an old man, he can't possibly w
With wrath in his system, he thrust through the boundary between them and scurried to Anne. Her neck was wounded."Coming close to the girl only subjects her to danger, she's your brother's wife-to-be, treat her as such," His father announced.This scorched his ears."Let the girl go, she has done nothing wrong."His father grinned. "That's where you are wrong boy, she has done things, a lot of them. Her place is here. Better run off to the humans, Vam said you're more than comfortable there."Dominus hated being here, that's for sure. But now he needs to leave to make a plan. He whirled around and left the room. His father wasn't harming her, that's a relief. He soared down the stairs and steered to his previous room.He unfasten the door and slid through. Inside the room has transformed into a mess. His shelf has been brought down, and his clothes were shattered. The only thing half okay was his bed.He couldn't find what he was searching for, so he decided to leave. But before he c
They scampered past a corridor, something was suffocating her. She didn't like it here."Survive a little longer, your life holds my life and the lives of my people." The girl said. Anne didn't know how she got here, it was confusing."Wh-where are you taking me?" Anne coughed."Somewhere safe, so relax." The girl assured.After minutes of running in silence, they finally reached a huge door. The door slides open as they go near.It felt like heaven. That's what she felt after running past the gate.The girl she had entered the gate with had disappeared, leaving just her in what seemed like a room. She walked with slow steps inside the room, what was she waiting for?As she walked past an open door, she noticed a lit fire inside. She walks into it, only to see a shocking scene.Dominus was butt naked, and he was bathing in a tube filled with 'somewhat' liquid fire.He didn't seem to notice her as he was too engrossed in his ~bath.But it didn't take long for him to notice as he snappe
Silence crammed the room as Dominus anticipated what to say. He took a deep breath and began."My mother was a human, strange human actually, and my Father is a…Demon."Anne interrupted. "You said 'was', is she…""Dead, yeah." He nodded his head. "They had Vamurus two years after I was born. My family is kinda complicated.""I guessed as much about your father. I believe all families are complicated, my family for example; Girls disappear once in every century, that's what they told me before I came d…" She paused as she tried to understand what she was saying with a worried look."What is it?" Dominus asked. He hadn't really been paying attention to her words, he was filled with worry."I'm recollecting a memory I don't think I know anything about.""What do-""They said I'm the last breaker. W-w-what does that mean?" Her voice trembled. She was panicking."Anne, don't stress yourself," He comforted her. But that didn't lessen the dread she was feeling. "Tell me what they said, slowl
He looked up from downstairs and wondered if Anne was asleep. He climbed it slowly with hesitation, he didn't want her to feel uncomfortable.The stairs appeared longer than usual. His heart, something didn't believe existed, began to race. He was nervous for no reason.As he reached the edge of the stairs, Anne's room entered his view before his room which after before her room. He strides to her door and knocks on it slightly.On the first knock the door opened. He couldn't believe she was actually waiting for him to come to her room.He slipped into the room, the lit candles were glowing. He glanced at the wall clock and it was a few minutes past nine."I thought you were asleep," Dominus said as he strolled to her, "How's your wound?" He noticed she hauled her arms freely.A beaming smile appeared on her face. "It healed. The pain was severe at first, but after the plant you dipped, the pain began lessening. And now, there's no pain."Dominus wasn't believing this. He moved closer
