As soon as Adonis realized that Kalta's plan had failed, he knew he had to act fast or run the risk of losing his life. He had no idea how that attack on him had gotten destroyed, but this was the wrong time to try and figure it out. Immediately, he gathered his wits formed a ball of his own, and surrounded Kalta with flames. Kalta stared at the flame and tried to quench it with a ball of ice, but was shocked to see that the fire did not budge.Immediately, Tarada and the rest of the Death Agents rushed off to Adonis and made to go to battle with him. "If you take one more step towards me, I would send a deadly blow to your master. If you want him to live, stand back." Adonis ordered. The death agents shared looks amongst themselves and knew that they could not risk having their master die under their watch. Gently and delicately, they stepped back.Adonis saw that as his chance and quickly called out to Bethany. "Bethany, let's get out of here."She quickly ran out of where she
Desmond was about to close his eyes as he so much needed sleep when a knock sounded on his door. "Come on now. Who the hell is there?" He cursed as he climbed off his bed and grabbed his shirt from the sofa.The knock came again and he shook his head at the person's impatience. "Chill, all right. Now who is there?" He asked as he neared the door. "It is me, Adonis." Came the reply. Desmond immediately opened his door and heard who it was. Adonis and Bethany scampered into the house as soon as the doors were open. "Hey, Kiddo, how are you?" Desmond asked taking note of the looks of the two kids. He wondered who the girl was, but felt certain she had to be someone special and close to Adonis. "Are you guys okay?" He asked when he saw their tired and bloody body. "What the hell happened to you guys?" "We have been to hell and back," Adonis answered in one breath. "I have to call your mom and report this to her," Desmond said and quickly made for his cell phone. "There would be n
Bethany stood in front of Uncle Desmond’s door with a smile on her face. She was meeting Adonis today and she felt a happiness she could not explain. Despite the warning from her parents not to stay out late, she was willing to spend all day with Adonis.“Hey, Bethany. You are here?” Uncle Desmond asked as soon as he opened the door.“Yes, sir. Is Adonis in?” She asked, craning her neck into the house to see if she could catch sight of Adonis.Desmond stared at the girl and a small smile played around the corners of his lips. He knew love when he saw it and he was certain the two kids would have a beautiful love story. He hoped they would not be like him and ruin a beautiful love story.“He is in. Come in.” He said and stepped away from the door, giving her more room to step in.“Thank you.” She said and stepped in."He is in his bedroom. You can go and meet him." Desmond brought her out of her thoughts.“Oh, yes.” She nodded and went in the direction Uncle Desmond had pointed her to.
Adonis stared wide-eyed at the glowing golden orb of fire that had materialized out of Bethany. It was very similar to the golden orb that had destroyed Kalta's deadly blow to him.“What is that?” Adonis asked, surprise evident in him.Bethany stared at him and shrugged, showing her confusion. “To be honest, I don’t know what it is, but it was deadly and powerful the first time it happened. I was so scared to be honest that I hated myself. I guess it was my use of magic that had caused you to use yours. This is why I believe this whole thing is my fault.” She explained.Adonis finally understood why she was insisting this was her fault and honestly, he felt some sort of relief getting the news. Finally, he was not the only one with some sort of magic of his own. Maybe he was not so different and weird after all. Even if he kept her away from him, there was no guarantee that Kalta and his men wouldn't come for her and her magic. The best way he could protect her right now was to keep h
Kalta stormed from one corner of his study to the other. Just how could things get this bad in such a short time? Everything had been perfect. He had reigned in peace for more than eighteen years and all of a sudden, a prophecy he had long forgotten about comes up to ruin his life and his reign."Why?" He yelled and angrily busted the glass tumbler in his hand. The shards of glass scattered around the room like little pieces of diamonds.He could not understand how Adonis had been able to avert the disaster he had prepared for him. He could not believe he had failed despite his preparation.“Well, my fight against Adonis was not completely useless after all. I got to fortify myself with the blood of the Elkanel. I am just as strong, if not stronger than Adonis.” he grinned, but his smile quickly disappeared when he remembered how easily the Espino had neutralized his magic."Whoever this Espino is, he or she is no weakling. The way they had masked their power and infiltrated my kingd
Adonis stared long and hard at the sign hung on the door he was standing in front of. It was so weird and unusual and looked nothing like where he had imagined a sorceress would stay. He knew he was not at the wrong location because he had doubled checked the location he had gotten from the web and his map was telling him he was at the right place. However, this place looked nothing like a sorceress' lair. It was so colorful and vibrant that it could be mistaken for a children's toy shop. “Are you sure we are at the right place?” Bethany asked, clutching tightly to his hand. "My map tells me we are at the right place, but my mind tells me otherwise. No witch lives in a place this colorful, and it is a shop too." He explained, his brows furrowed in confusion. She had noticed his reservations and honestly, she understood why. This can not be where a supposedly powerful witch would want to live. This had got to be a joke and she had no doubt it was one of those pranksters on the inte
Adonis instinctively had his hand cover Bethany as soon as he felt his body go weightless. The light was so bright that he feared that if he opened his eyes even for a second more he would not be able to see again.Instinctively, his hands went out ahead of him and searched for Bethany. He wrapped his hands around her as soon as he felt her body. Just then, the weight on his body returned and they both fell to the floor, crashing hard on a soft rug.“Ouch!” Bethany yelled as soon as she hit the floor.“I am so sorry.” Adonis apologized to her and opened his eyes only by a little fragment, checking to know if it was safe for him to open his eyes.Thankfully, the bright white light had gone and they were surrounded by more natural light. His gaze travelled through a window and he knew it was safe.“It is fine. You can open your eyes now.” Adonis said to Bethany when he noticed that she was still coiled in a fetal position on the floor.Bethany did as he suggested though slowly. When she
Kalta stood in front of the large building Tarada had informed him the child had grown up in. The Orphanage looked pretty basic and there was nothing to show that it was a place that had housed a special child like an Espino.“Well, it is obvious the people here did not know the powers of the child they were taking in on that faithful night.” Kalta chuckled to himself as he walked in through the front gate of the orphanage.He was dressed in a grey matching suit and pants and had on a black hat to go with his aesthetics. He did not need anyone to tell him that he looked good and expensive. He could feel it and from the gaze of everyone who was staring at him, he knew he was probably the next best thing after sliced bread.“Good evening sir. It is way past 6p.m which is when the orphanage closes to outsiders. If you do not mind, can you come back tomorrow?” A security guard that was at the gate said to him.Kalta simply stared at the man standing in front of him and knew that he did no
