"I'm off to bed." Alistair announced. They just completed the day's training and settled at the living room to rest.
"Come on, 'listair. It's still very early."Claire said. "Well, I'm tired" Alistair replied. "Need to rest.""But, I have a scene on my mind and I'd love to watch it today"She dragged Alistair back to her seat. "Let's say the training is over and the it's the Masters turn to fight."Emiliar who had a broken nose, gasped in delight. "Masters huh. I'd also love to watch. Hehe!"Alistair looked puzzled. "What are you guys talking about?""I mean you and master Ethan should try a fight."Alistair pouted. "Maybe some other time." She quickened her pace towards the stairs but Ethan's voice interrupted her."Are you scared of me?" He smirked.Alistair clenched her fist. Scared? What on Earth...!"You know I'm not. I'm not just in the mood.""You should show us Alistair."Emiliar said. Alistair gave her a** Katrienair's POV **I was hot, caged in a vacuum. A fire burned by my side while I was chained to a metal wall. I knew I instantly where I was. The demons have me now and they can do with me whatever they wish. "You should not be afraid of anything. We are unbeatable..." Alistair's words kept my sanity and fear stood afar away. While death stared at me with it's cold icy blue eyes, all I could think of was Julian. He really is a case. Why did he snub me like that?! He owes me, a big apology. He made me looks so stupid. How dare he?!I tried to move my neck, a stingling pain stopped me. That pain, so familiar. But what exactly is on my neck?!I scanned the room for any sign of life but there was no one around. Disappointed, I shut my eyelids again and drowned back in my sleep.*"Katrienair!" A familiar voice called out. Slowly, I opened my eyes. Bright green light flushed into my pupils causing me to blink several time before I could put myself together. 
" Alistair, may I?"Ethan peeped in through an opening in Alistair's door. He noticed she wasn't sleeping anymore. Alistair could not get enough rest so she retired to studying."Sure" She smiled. Ethan walked in and sat opposite the study table. Time passed stealthily, Alistair's eyes were fixed on the book she was reading while Ethan waited patiently for the right time or let's say, the right words to use to begin his talk. He had longed to speak to her since he saw her. She is Alistair, the Almighty princess. She knows more secrets of the coven than he does. Though there are some she would not know about. She was never a commoner like him. Commoners has some advantage over royalty."You really want to have a talk, don't you?" Alistair got tired of the awkward silence between them."You look so busy. You should take the book away at least." That told Alistair all she needed to know. She has never been a good host. She should have kept the book away."I ... I apo
"Father, please listen to me" Julian pleaded. They've been talking for like hours now and have not come to a common agreement. They might never."You are about to make a grave mistake. She is the chosen one.""You keep spewing that rubbish. I am the chosen one. No one is, except me. I do not and will not believe that damn holy book. It was written by our ancestors who failed. Don't be so naive Julian. You will take this throne after me. You should be ready to compromise laws or books. You should be able to make your own.""Do not kill her today father. I plead on her behalf. She does not deserve death. She accepted our mark,our culture. She's one of us now. You can't just kill for no reason.""Who told you I can't?"Roger smirked. "Ruel!"He called out one of his guard. Ruel walked in and curtsied. "Call an assembly. One person would go down today.""Roger!" Julian yelled in rage. Roger dismissed the guard and faced Julian."Son. Maybe you should te
The others were training in the living room so Alistair decided to use the back door. She ran along the aisle, Luna leaping behind her. She would visit the castle today and no one would stop her. The back door which hasn't been used for centuries creaked on her first touch. She was about to walk out when she felt a hand dragged her back. She tried to struggle but froze in place when she saw who it was. Ethan!"Where are you going miss?" He asked.She flinched from his hold. "None of your business." She spat and headed towards the door but he grabbed her by the waist and held her close to himself. Their faces were just a inch distant from each other and in some way Alistair felt her brain would stop its work if she didn't act fast."Let me be Ethan!"She shrieked. He only held her closer."Huh?"He murmured. "You want to go out. Should I remind you that you are the most wanted in this territory and this is the only safe place you can be huh?"Alistair
Lake of fire.I'm not scared. Even if Alistair has not told me about our special powers and how it resists fire, I think if be ready to die now. For heaven's sake, what else am I living for?! Everything is wrong with me. That coward!My chains were lose and four mighty guards got hold of me. I felt like a queen accompanied by a convoid to her final home, her death. How sweet?The lake of fire, here I come. My carrier stopped a few inches away from the fire, to avoid being hurt by the fire. Then, I thought I'd really die. I looked around to search for Julian's but he wasn't anywhere close. He wasn't there. If I'd really die, I'd like to at least see him before I go. Heartbroken, I asked the guards to go ahead. They carried me high above their heads at threw me with all the force they could manage. I closed my eyes, awaiting whatever life held for me. All I could do was pray.*Julian rode as fast as he could to the sacred house. He needed to see Alistair. Whe
Sylvia was in the kitchen, helping the other maids with the cleaning up when she got a call from her master. Her master, the army head of the white coven controls the remains of the white coven since they had no leader. Obviously, her migration brought her here as a maid. She was glad that at least, she arrived safely at her coven. She bowed on seeing him."Burn this piece of shit for me."He threw her a piece of paper, like a letter. She picked it up and walked away. He stopped her."Wait, go to the Raven house. Write to the demons that we would settle for a negotiation." Sylvia was shocked. She wanted to argue but remembered her place. She bowed and walked away. Since she joined the castle, she has been his most trusted servant and she would not want to take that for granted. She opened the letter when she was in a safe place. It was from the demon king, he offered a negotiation, though the terms haven't been made. Sylvia knew it was the worst decision he could make. She
"Everything will be alright 'listair."Ethan said to Alistair who was lost in thought at her window. Her door was ajar, he saw her, still by her window and decided to check on her. He stood behind her and embraced her fearlessly. Alistair's body shook in shock. That was too sudden but she found herself giving in to his comfort. She straightened her back and leaned on his chest. To her, she was just in one of her fairy tale dreams." Are you okay, Milady?"Ethan asked cautiously."Ethan."Alistair ignored his question. "Can you see what I'm seeing?" Ethan followed her gaze to the sky, he was completely puzzled. What the hell is she talking about?! She is really a weirdo."You can't see it huh? But it's there. It's there in the sky. It's dark but not dark..." She was blabbering. For a moment, Ethan thought she was drunk but she is not."Look well Ethan. It's there. It's not really dark. There at a corner, there's...""Light"They echoed. Alistair giggled. She was
We rode silently through towards the sacred house. I was more disguised in the cotton jumpsuit I wore. And Julian won't be easily noticed by commoners because he did not have his badge on. For the first time, he journeyed in only a shirt. He burned our coats at the brothel to avoid being traced. We both looked like a couple on an adventure. Julian was able to get only a horse. I hung on to his back while he rode.When we got to the sacred, I left him out to meet my peers. They all looked surprised to see me except Alistair who jumped happily at me. She held me close like she's never letting go."Alistair was scared." Emiliar joked. "She got us all scared Katrienair. Thank God you're safe." She joined our embrace and Claire."Joel is outside."I announced. "Im staying with you guys now."A smile formed on their faces. Somehow, I felt loved."I'd go see Joel."Alistair left. It's the first time she ever called him Joel. That got me curious. I saw Luna run down t
