CHAPTER FIFTY-FOUR: THE PRICE OF BETRAYAL (|)
The slaughter formation is triggered, and it reaps the lives of the opposition without delay.
As the formation drains the blood from the witches, screams of varying pitches and intensities rend the air. The High Witch makes sure to seal the entire room within a bubble that prevents sound from escaping to the surroundings. Even though the office of the High Witch is in a secluded place, it is better to take no chances with something like this.
The screams are a queer melody to Estelle’s ears, as she revels in their suffering. Finally, she can be at ease, knowing that there is one less hidden knife capable of stabbing her in the back. The opposition has overstayed their welcome; they have become a parasite that needs to be flushed out as quickly as possible.
The redhead witch dies with her eyes opened, full of hate and loathing. Such venomous eyes would scare most people, but it only adds to the beauty of the pictures formed in her mind, the mental images sh

“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
LOVE OF A QUISLING- A Blazing Inferno The Witch Council (I)
In a dimly lit cave, far away from mortal lands, sits the Witch Council. Nine women, all wearing cloaks imbued with the purest of magical essences, form a wide circle around their leader, the High Witch. With their hoods on, they levitate while sitting and continue to stare at their leader as she conducts a ritual. Utmost silence reigns in this cave, punctuated by the High Witch’s occasional muttering.The moment she concludes the ritual, a feeling of overwhelming calm and serenity pervades the already quiet atmosphere. All the witches present take of their hoods at this point, for the biennial meeting of the Witch Council, has begun.“Niam khawv koob, foom koob hmoov rau nws cov menyuam nrog lub zog, twsj hwm thiab hais kom ua.

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

“You should have said something. If you had spoken up, Este…”“Estelle would’ve been unable to do anything. Even if she teleported there immediately, it would make no difference. The trail has gone cold. She will achieve nothing except wasting precious time. Instead of chiding me for what I should or should not have said, focus on learning as much as you can about the demons, protecting the humans, and raising the witch-born.”“She has a name, Nora, and it isn’t ‘witch-born’.”“Names become insignificant once you’ve lived as long as I have.”“But you call my sister by her name.”“She has proven herself over and again. I am yet to see the witch-born do so. Anyways, we digress. The issue of the demons is not one to be taken lightly and your sister knows that.”“You give her much more credit than she’s worth.”&l
LOVE OF A QUISLING- A Blazing Inferno Final Assignment.
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

Klade cannot believe his ears. He did not see this one coming. Even if his ancestor is joking with him, his eyes and super senses cannot deny the blatant truth. This young demon, who could be mistaken for a human, albeit a very handsome one, is none other than the rumored scion of Pride, his beloved ancestor.If demons believed in luck, he would be congratulating himself for having Mother Luck look upon him with favor. But demons detest anything that has to do with luck, more especially the demons of Pride. Acknowledging luck in any way goes against their core beliefs. A dissonance in their core beliefs can totally disrupt their essence and cause severe harm to their True Souls.Unlike other Sins, Pride kept his scion hidden, for reasons best known to him. Thus, everyone knows that he has a son. Nothing more. Klade concludes that the rumors flying around did the young demon a grave injustice. “He is healthy. His life force seems average, but his aura is not any w
LOVE OF A QUISLING- A Blazing Inferno THE GHOUL REALM
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

The next morning sees Travis standing in front of a crisscross of rotting bamboo shoots that would most likely fall apart if a bit of force is exerted on it, with a decrepit signboard that reads Bahghül’s Shol of mal, other letters having disappeared to Lucifer knows where.I don’t know what father saw in this place. But I can’t return without the Maestro’s approval. Only Lucifer knows how hard this is for me. Travis’ thought is a reflection of the outcome of the conversation with his father a day prior.He is tempted to push the gate open, but he immediately rejects such a suggestion- he’d only be inviting trouble for himself by doing so. Due to the fact that Klade opened the gate yesterday, he was unable to realize that the gate could not be opened without magic. Had Klade not stopped him from pushing the gate and explaining the Maestro’s tactic to him, he would have been seriously injured by some of the guards
