After their talk, Nevea and Zach spend their time searching for a clue by hanging out in the library. First, they read each book that contains demons and fairies. But, all the information they got was far from what they had experienced. When they read the history of demons, it is always related closely to hell and another sort of religion. And about fairies, it was just a story of a bunch of cute little things. What they read was pretty much useless. Not even once they mentioned purity. Kindness was there, but the ridiculous rule about desire was not mentioned. At this point, they were desperate. There was no way of knowing if these things unless they got all the puzzles inside their head. Kiara was out of options because that woman literally ceased from earth. Not only Kiara but Jude also went missing. There was no trace of Gio either. “What about your human friend?”“Raven? There has been no reply until today.”“Your friend is useless. You should’ve let my people do their job in
Raven rubbed his eyes after seeing Nevea sleep peacefully on the chair next to his bed. The woman appeared to be peaceful. Her hair which had now changed to brown fell freely on her back. Her chest kept rose and falling in a steady rhythm. The view that greeted him brought a content smile to Raven’s mouth. Gathering all his power, Raven changed his position to sit and face Nevea directly. He watched her intently like a fool in love. Oh, right. He was indeed a fool in love. It felt like years since the last time he saw her. So against his better judgment, Raven extended his hand to reach for her and feel her cheek against his skin. The warmth made Raven’s smile bloom even more. He swore he could watch her like this for eternity. “Stop looking at my woman like that.” Came cold and dangerous to destroy all the fairy tales in Raven’s head. Raven looked past Nevea’s shoulder and found Zach leaning on the door frame with arms folded before his chest while his legs crossed together. Tha
"Everything has been settled, Master." Gio talked while sitting far away from his master. "Have you found out about the other fairy?" Gio's body tremored because he did not get a whim of the fairy who messed with their place. It only meant that the fairy was not as clueless as Nevea. Perhaps, the fairy was here on a mission. "Unfortunately, I can't find anything, Master."Efrain, the master, waved his hand in the air producing a strong wind that went in Gio's direction. The wind managed to slice the skin on Gio's cheek, yet his loyal servant did not budge from his seat. Gio received the punishment willingly since he was not capable enough. "Prepare the puppet and leave me alone." Efrain walked back and forth in his room. He had an inkling that the other fairy would ruin his plan. More importantly, he could guess that the fairy would do something unimaginable. For now, he was sure that the fairy wanted Nevea. "Zach, Vlassta, and now there is another fairy involved." Efrain slamm
Gio looked up to see the beautiful moon shining brightly for them. Beside him was Efrain, who had taken off his black hood, showing his disfigured face. They were in the middle of the forest. New vampires they had turned before were put in the coffin. They were positioned in a circle. At the center was a flat stone, a place for Nevea.Efrain laughed, knowing he would get what he wanted in a matter of hours. Years of waiting in agony would be worth it. Efrain snapped his head to the back. “Ah, Zach and our fairy are already here,” Efrain mumbled. Then inhaled and exhaled through his mouth before focusing on making an illusion for them. That should be enough to make Zach busy. “What about Vlassta, Master?”“Release our warrior.” “Understood, Master.”***Nevea, Zach, and Vlassta moved inside the forest from different sides. Zach walked at the front while extending his hand to Nevea so they would not separate. Silas was also with them. He trailed behind Nevea. They had decided to l
A woman was seen running barefoot at a quick pace, passing numerous trees in the forest. She did not care that several sharp plants had scraped her skin. Her blood dripped little by little, leaving a long trail in the damp soil. Her long silver hair swayed right and left as she increased her peace. Her eyes darted around the corner, feeling extremely afraid that someone would find her in her current situation, which was beyond the word of mess. "I'm wrong. Please forgive me." She mumbled as she ran. Her chest rose and fell, following her fast activity to support her breathing. She looked over her shoulder, and there she saw him still standing in the same place with hurt in his eyes. It was so palpable that she could feel it piercing her flesh and breaking her bones. She hardened her heart and continued to tear their distance as far as she could. She could not give in, and she should not. Tears streamed down her face as the expansive view of a river entered her vision. In just a fe
1450, Grouver, The Kingdom of Rimore. The moon shone brightly that night, casting an eerie glow over the magnificent castle. There was no sound from a living soul, as if everyone who lived in the palace was under a spell. The noise source was only the wind that was howling and the rain that was pounding on the glass windows. It was like the storm was trying to invade the castle. The man with a pair of red eyes and long jet-black hair sauntered into his bed chamber. He could smell the faintest hint of blood in the air mixing with the sweetest aroma he had missed for two months when he was on the battlefield. He opened the door to his bedchamber, and instantly the smell struck his senses like a tornado. Now it was a mixture of blood and fear. He took a step forward to the four-poster bed, looking around warily as he went. The light from a few candles was dimmed as it almost ran out. But, despite that, he could still see everything clearly. That was the perk of being a night creature;
The journey to Stormsire did not take long, as Zach never made a stop. He did not care that his thirst for blood had been increasing greatly over the past week. All he cared about was arriving in Stormsire as soon as possible and then starting to look for the soul catcher. Stormsire was a small town located on the west side of Grouver. Like the name says, it was the kind of town that was constantly hit by storms. The residents, mostly vampires, runaway criminals, and a few humans, were used to it and had developed a sense of resignation when it came to dealing with the harsh weather. They knew there was nothing they could do to stop the storm from gracing its presence in the town, so they just had to ride it out. "This town reeks of blood," Zach took in all the sides that could enter his vision. With every step he took, he could see the peasants lying on the cold ground, their bodies covered in rags, shivering, and suffering in silence. And several lifeless bodies were scattered on
Jude wanted to protest, but after receiving a cold glare from Zach, he decided to retreat. Zach's attention shifted to Silas when Jude was nowhere to be seen. "Let me in, and after that, tell your mother that the king wanted to meet her." Silas wanted to refuse, but somehow, he could not say no to Zach. Instead, he had the urge to do everything Zach had asked. It felt like he was under a spell. A spell that he could not break free of no matter how much he tried. The door opened with a creaking sound, and Silas made way for Zach to enter his small house. Zach entered the small house and looked closely at his surroundings. The house did not have anything remarkable. Like the rest of the commoners, the house was only filled with the necessity of house furniture, like a chair for two people and a tiny table. And a bed that was concealed behind the black curtain to separate the living and sleeping space. Zach positioned Nevea on the small chair and ensured that his wife's body was sitt
