"So you died... You saw Anna, and Micah..." Elyse repeated for the fourth time, , her voice echoing softly in the dimly lit corridor. "Yes." I replied for the fourth time, feeling a touch of frustration creeping in. "And then Micah told me to read his will at his funeral." I said, again. "Didn't Elle share her story with you? She died, and she saw Anna." I pointed out. As we moved through the shadowy corridors of the castle, whispers between us were as quiet as the flickering torches lining the ancient stone walls. Each step we took seemed to reverberate through the silence, adding to the tension in the air. Shadows danced along the wall, creating ghost-like illusions. "She did, but I didn't believe her." Elyse confessed, her voice barely above a whisper. I raised one eyebrow. "What?" She shrugged. "It just seemed a bit... Far-fetched." "We live in another universe, with demons who are practically immortal and can do magic with a snap of their fingers." I said incredulously. "I'm
The main light flickered on, and I noticed we stood in a gigantic dresser. Rows upon rows of clothes, shoes, ties, socks, caps, weapons, suits, and an array of items stretched before us. This was the grandest walk-in closet imaginable. "Did he give you any clue as to where his will might be?" Elyse asked me in a normal tone. I guess sounds wouldn't travel through doors. Micah probably had found a way of concealing that, too. Man. Such a cool power. "He said it was in the clothes he wore when he died." I replied, scanning the room. Every item of clothes you could possibly own hung in here. There were paintings all over the room that showed images of clothes and models, adorned in golden frames. Mirrors stood in different positions, making it possible to see yourself from every angle at all times. Having sex in here would be something else. "Okay... Do you know what that is?" Elyse asked me as she placed her hands on her hips. I turned to her. "Uhmm.... No. I can't really remember..
"What is wrong with him!" I yelled at Elyse angrily. I clutched my chest, attempting to steady my breath. Sweat trickled down my spine, and my muscles screamed from exertion. "I don't know!" Elyse yelled back, her voice strained. "I thought I was going to have a heart attack." She spit at the ceiling, no doubt channelling Micah. There were no more spiders in sight, but the disgusted feeling remained. I knew that that would stay until I had a shower. I tossed the pants to the floor, unable to stand the sight of them. Micah had officially become my least favourite brother. "What a maniac!" I huffed as my body still shuddered from shock. Adrenaline coursed through me, and I knew I could take on any demon that would stand in my way. If only Micah was here... "Who the fuck does something like that?!" I yelled out. "Someone who doesn't want this to be found." Elyse suddenly whispered, her tone filled with awe. I spun around to see Elyse pick up a thick piece of paper. My panic halted.
Elyse's eyes widened in utter shock. Around me, everything fell into a deadly silence. Standing on the stage, I slowly lowered the thick paper in my hand, the other clutching the microphone. Every eye in the garden was fixed on me. Somewhere close, a female voice erupted. "LIAR!" She yelled. I snapped my head to the side, meeting the gaze of the Queen of Greed, or rather, the Ex-Queen of Greed. "That's what is written here." I retorted, lifting the paper in my hand. Before I could say anything else to her, the paper was snatched away. I glanced up at the Greed guard, the earlier speaker, and heard a loud growl from the crowd. Sam. The guard hadn't heard him. He was focused intently on the will, his eyes darting back and forth. He narrowed his eyes in concentration at the bottom, where Micah had put his signature and a drop of his blood. The guard sniffed the paper, glanced at me, and slowly lowered the paper again. He turned to face the crowd. "It is true." Loud gasps followe
"FAY!" Adrian's voice thundered through the chaos. With a single step and no thoughts in my brain, I plunged into the heart of the turmoil, my resolve unyielding. As the clamour of battle raged around me, I knew that I would stop at nothing to ensure Elyse's safety. "SAMMI! IT'S FAY!" I heard Adrian shout angrily through the chaos. I pressed forward, ignoring the demon behind me. A flash of light brown hair caught my eye, and I instinctively surged towards it. A blade flew through the air, aimed for my head, but I swiftly dodged it without even looking to the side. A demon snarled from close-by, but my attention remained fixed on the path ahead. Elyse. Where are you? Please be alive. When I saw the amount of bodies laying around, fear settled in my bones. What if she was already dead? What if someone already hacked off her head, and was now showing it to everybody- Elyse is alive. She had to be. Elyse is alive. I kept whispering the words to myself. The demons around me started
"Let this day be etched in the history books of Greed. Let this day be a reminder of King Mammon, and everything he has achieved." Elyse proclaimed, her voice brimming with confidence. I watched as all the demons hung onto her every word, entranced by her speech. "For he truly was a fierce leader," Elyse half-yelled, "and the wisest King of all." I could tell Sam rolled his eyes, I felt it in my bones. But he remained quiet, and allowed Elyse have this important moment. He even stepped aside for her, but stayed on the stage with her, looking like a strong ally. "The days of King Mammon are over..." Elyse announced with a strong voice, "But the days of Greed are just beginning. Today marks the end of an era, but the start of a new chapter. Today is the day, that Greed will rise as the strongest kingdom of all!" The demons of Greed erupted into cheers, fists raised in celebration of their new queen. "Everybody is welcome to gift King Mammon one personal item. It will be placed

"You look fucking hot." I turned my head to see an attractive guy, completely focused on me. "Thank you." I replied, my eyes casually scanning his figure. Maybe a bit too business-like for a club, but that added to his aura. "What are we drinking?" he asked, resting his elbow on the bar. I playfully narrowed my eyes at him. "I'm not telling you. You have to guess." I teased."One vodka soda." The bartender said as he put my drink in front of me.Irritated, I snapped my head at the bartender. "Dude! I said he had to guess!" I complained. The bartender shrugged, placing the card machine before me. A card appeared in front of me and tapped the machine, paying my drink for me. "It's on me, obviously." The guy said, suddenly standing a lot closer to me. "Not that you gave me a choice." I remarked, grabbing my drink and sipping it. Perfect and ice cold. "So, where did you come from? I've never seen you around here." He asked me after ordering a beer for himself. A beer? Who drank beer in
