LOVE OF A QUISLING- A Blazing Inferno

“The assignment will be due by next month. You may come to see me if you have any other questions. Good day, class,” Mr. Declan says before exiting the class. Only then does everyone pack up and leave. His reputation as the most handsome teacher in Manville High is the only reason the students didn’t leave immediately the alarm signaling the end of lessons sounded. Being hot surely has its perks.Lia bolts out of the class as fast as her legs can carry her. It doesn’t help that she has to squeeze through tightly locked arms and sweaty bodies. “Ow! What a bitch!” exclaims a brunette with freckles. Lia doesn’t bother apologizing; she abandoned such courtesies a long time ago. Besides, staying back to say sorry would only make her later than she already is.“I don’t even know why I chose this school in the first place,” she huffs as she walks out of the close her school is situated in, irritated by the smell of s

The rest interpret her shudder as a sign of disgust for the demons and they burst into raucous laughter. “Do you all think this is funny? There is a possible threat to the peace we currently enjoy and you can still cackle like old hags?” Sandara asks, stupefied at their actions.“Don’t insult our intelligence, Sandra,” Herschey, the Silver Witch of the West remarks. Sandara simply rolls her eyes at the witch’s intentional mispronunciation of her name. She is too smart to be drawn in by such taunts.“Pray to tell me, o shrew, how I insulted your intelligence,” she responds, looking the witch in the eye. “Why, you!” Herschey exclaims, rising up in anger. “Remember that attacking a fellow council member is expressly forbidden,” Evanora, the Silver Witch of the East chips in. “But she provoked me first!” “She did not attack you, Witch of the West. Restrain yourself and maintain some s

To an immortal, time is but a number. As such, highly ranked demons have no little to no interest in lowly-ranked members of their kind whose lifespan is over in the blink of an eye. Since years of exposure to tragedy gradually desensitizes a mere human, a demon whose base instinct is evil and has experienced unimaginable tragedy cannot be expected to fare any better. To them, emotions are dispensable because they have a time limit.This knowledge makes Klade ecstatic because his encounter with Pride will catapult him into the next level. When he was chosen for this mission, his family made arrangements for his funeral, as a demon of Pride’s caliber would only ever actively seek out a subordinate for two reasons- death or promotion. Getting promoted seemed to be the last thing that could happen to him, as the mission was a highly difficult one.A portal opens. Pride’s voice is heard on the other side. “Step forward Klade Gregor, of the House of Gregor

When Travis received the news that he was to go to the realm of the ghouls for further education, he expected a magnificent edifice bustling with students and tutors alike, each one doing his own thing. He imagined making do with an abode whose standards would not be far off from the least of his father's hearths. Perhaps, he might even decide to prolong his stay, just to toy with his father and drive him to near insanity. It is his job, after all, to keep the older demon on his toes.However, he soon realized that he was wrong. Horribly wrong."Why didn't you tell me that we were going to a rundown shack?" Travis stops his guard, Klade, from walking any further. "You never asked." "Never asked? Never asked you say? How would I have known that this-this-this th-thing" Travis struggles to find the appropriate words to describe the place they just exited. "is where I'm expected to be tutored for two decades? Two decades, Klade, and in case you don't know what a decade me

A soulmate literally means the other half of a being’s soul, the word being derived from the story of the powerful but lonely souls who decided to split into two exact halves and go in different directions, with the aim of finding each other again. The concept of a soulmate is an integral part of every supernatural culture. Demons, werewolves, vampires, ghouls, and dragons, amongst many others, treasure it highly- although they have different words for it. Even witches, who do not have soulmates, understand and respect the culture of the soulmates. It is the lifeblood of every realm, be it as high as the heavens or in the innermost depths of hell.Travis understands the importance of soulmates to the supernatural world, regardless of species. He feels upset and embarrassed about his father’s words yesterday and the Maestro’s behavior towards him today, but he is not stupid. You allowed your emotions to overwhelm you not once, but several times.
