***Inside the Throne Room****All three demons except Salinas, sat around the long table after the party had ended. They were having their normal discussion. And Lucifer was so engrossed in the book he was reading that it made him not contribute to their discussion. "I never knew; it was so easy to compel those crowds. Look at the way they were worshiping you, like a god." Devon teased Zeppelin, stretching out his hand, and hit him softly on his shoulder."What did you expect before? They are all weak and can be easily manipulated." Lucifer chipped in for the first time, shrugging his shoulders afterward before concentrating on his reading."You're such a bookworm, Lucifer. In less than a minute, you are done with six books. How then do you------"The door suddenly swung open, interrupting Devon, as Salinas angrily walked into the room. They all turn to stare at him."You broke the damn rules!!" Selinas furiously dashed toward Devon. Holding onto the collar of his shirt, asking, "Wh
Arya was finding it so difficult to unlock the gate. She really needs some help; otherwise, she won't be able to get inside, no matter how hard she tries. She looked behind her; everywhere was so calm, as the cold morning breeze hit against her skin.__I just hope they are not back yet." She was so troubled and tense. Michelle, where are you__ She cried in her thoughts, glancing around. Suddenly she heard a cracking sound from the inside. "Edris, is that you? Please come and unlock the gate." She called out in a loud whisper as she peeked through some openings in the gate.Mr. Peter, who was Edris's father, heard a voice that called out to his son. He glanced around but found no one. He tried to go inside his little house, which was located on the right side of the main building, after his long journey."Edris, it's me, Arya. Come and open the gate, please." She began to plead when she didn't hear any sounds of feet forthcoming.Mr. Peter halted for a moment as the familiar voice hit
Edris slowly strode into the room and was dumbfounded to find his father, lying in the pool of blood; he couldn't believe his eyes; perhaps they were deceiving him."Edris!, Arya killed your father. We saw her with our own eyes and caught her red-handed." Peggy pointedly accused Arya the moment she glimpsed Edris striding into the room.Arya shook her head in dismay as hot tears streamed down her cheeks. She couldn't believe what was coming out of Peggy's mouth. She moved back as her back finally hit the wall, and she suddenly wished the ground would open up and swallow her up.Edris's gaze never left his father's lifeless body, which was lying on the cold floor. As he strode closer and fell to his knees beside his father, hot tears began to pour from his eyes like a heavy downpour of rain. "Father, wake up. It's me, your son, Edris." He whispered in tears, hitting his father softly on the shoulder, for him to wake up."I overheard them having a heated argument." Arya was raising her
Arya found herself lost in the dark woods, her heart racing and goosebumps covering her skin. She looked around, disoriented by the cold night and unable to understand how she had ended up there because,the cold night was so unbearable and unforgiving. She wrapped her arms around her body like a shelter to create warmth as her skin grew more goosebumps due to that. Despite the chilling breeze, she continued down a desolate path, surrounded by tall trees, sharp grass, and the distant chirping of birds. Suddenly, a voice echoed through the woods, “Capture her, and make sure she doesn't escape," Arya heard a deep, fearful voice growling from the dark woods. Arya, fleeing from an unseen threat. She peered into the darkness, but could only hear the sound of footsteps and eerie chanting growing louder. She continued to run as fast as she could without looking back to see if they were pursuing her. The sounds of their footsteps and chanting filled her ears as she pushed herself to run e
The word 'pregnant' echoed loudly in Arya's ears, prompting her to burst into sarcastic laughter. "Aunt, you always have jokes, but this one is a bit too much," she chuckled.Her laughter was boisterous, reflecting her amusement at Michelle's words. However, as she observed the seriousness in her aunt's expression, Arya realized that this was no laughing matter.Michelle let out a soft sigh. "Arya, I'm not joking; you are pregnant with twins," she muttered.Arya inched closer to her aunt, her jaw dropping in disbelief. Slowly reaching for her stomach, she muttered, "I don't understand... you mean...""Yes, Arya, you had a vision of yourself," her aunt interjected."But... the old woman called her De-Demonika and said she was the child of prophecy. I'm Arya, not a seer. Why am I the one pregnant?" Arya's voice trembled as she struggled to comprehend the situation.Michelle smiled reassuringly as she embraced Arya. "You'll be okay, Arya," she murmured, closing her eyes.“Is that all you
Michelle stepped out of Arya's room, shutting the door behind her. But she could still hear Arya sobbing and muttering words of encouragement to herself, and that made her heart sink into her stomach in pain.If there is anybody in this world who understand Arya, loved her like her own child, cared for her, and so deeply believed in her, that is Michelle.because she was the one who raised Arya after her birth. And she could tell that the poor lady desperately needed love, attention, and care. But no matter how much she tried to give in all of herself to make Arya see how much she was ready to stand by her every step of the way and never leave her side, deep down in her heart she knew Arya would always crave her father's love, no matter what. Michelle stood at her doorstep for a while before she decided to go have a word with Arya's father.She strolled down the stairs and eventually stood in front of his doorstep and knocked on his door, but heard no response. She went ahead and pus
Arya stepped back, moving away from Michelle with a dropped jaw. "Yo-you means, this dress belongs to my mother?" She sputtered. Her eyes were fixed on the stunning red gown with admiration, and she suddenly felt emotional as a drop of tears escaped her eyes. "It's so gorgeous, and I love it," she whispered inaudibly. "How does my mother look like?" She diverted her gaze."Question, for another day... But have it in mind that you took after your late mother." Michelle dragged her to the mirror. "We need to hurry up." She handed over the gown to Arya. Arya shook her head slowly.Michelle narrowed her eyebrows and asked, "What is it?""I'm feeling restless, and I'm having menacing feelings about these whole things," Arya admitted for the third time. "I don't want this whole thing to backfire on us." She muttered."I've got you covered, Arya. If these whole things backfired, they have to go through me first before touching you." Michelle assured her."Okay, then let me put this on." A
Arya kept running through the dark, narrowed secret passage in a fast-paced at the same time, she kept glancing around not to get caught by Edris. She had successfully gotten to the fifth floor of the building. One more floor to be out of the building as she kept on praying silently in her heart. She had known this secret passage ever since she was 13, and it was all Michelle's idea as if she knew that a day like this would come. After a long run, she finally reached the end, which led to the back of the building. She strode towards the small brown wooden door and turned down the handle, opened it, and stepped outside. She tiptoed like a cat in the direction that led to the horse stable, and there she found Edris, watering the flowers as usual. But he was so engrossed in his work that made him not to noticed her presence or anything. Just when she thought she could successfully walk past him without being noticed, Edris turned right in time to see her tiptoeing like a criminal."W
