Damon took the elevator down to the ground floor, then entered the enormous hotel lobby and approached the reception desk.
- Good morning, sir.- the receptionist greeted him with a broad smile, fixing her blonde hair, pinned up in a high bun.- Hello. I'd like to check out.- Damon said with a smile as he placed the key on the front desk.- Ah... of course.- the girl replied, slightly disappointed, took the key and started doing something on the computer hidden under the counter.Damon knew how his charm worked on women, just like of any demon, but it was the first time he felt bad about it.The receptionist printed the bill and put it on the counter.- You're paying $80.- she added, trying to smile charmingly despite the sadness clearly visible in her eyes.Damon glanced briefly at the bill - everything was fine. He only used the room, didn't eat dinner or breakfast, not even used the minibar. As a demon, he did not need human food, but at times coIn September, after nine months of pregnancy, Isabelle gave birth to a beautiful and healthy baby girl, whom she and her husband named Rose. Johnathan was overjoyed, and Isabelle was also very happy, because finally had the baby she wanted so much. Maria and Eleazar got married in December, Marco and Teresa a year later. Selene and Damon had not yet thought about getting married, they wanted to enjoy each other in peace now.On June 20, 2019, Elisabeth ended her service as the head of the Sorceress Council, taking a well-deserved retirement. There was a farewell ceremony during which Meredith, personally appointed by Elisabeth, became the new Council leader. Selene was proud of her aunt. Deborah joined the Big Three because Meredith's nomination made a seat vacant, and she was the oldest of the other Council members.Selene said goodbye to Sara and Jennifer for good, who had left for college, each in a different part of the country. This is how she also said goodbye to nor
Damon's anger was indeed waning, and helplessness was slowly taking its place. He felt as if all his life energy was leaving him along with anger, and when became like a normal demon again, he fell to his knees, completely exhausted. At this moment one of Alistair's troops moved to attack him. Damon knew he was too weak to defend himself, so he closed his eyes and suddenly felt someone grab his hand, then as if he felt nothing for a few seconds. When Damon opened his eyes two minutes later, he was lying on the bed in the makeshift hospital, Selene was holding his hand, crying, and Maria raised her hands over his body. He clearly felt some power begin to spread over his body. Damon slowly began to regain his strength, and Selene, seeing him awake, beamed as she wiped away her tears.- How are you feeling?- she asked, her voice still apprehensive.- Okay.- Damon replied, and Selene sighed with relief.- But how did I get here? The last thing I remember is an army of demons th
Around 11 p.m. the fight became even more fierce than before. Eleazar was increasingly unable to keep up with the teleporting of the wounded, Maria and the angels also felt a slight panic - their makeshift hospital was filling up at an alarming rate, and as little as one person left it, several other wounded appeared in this place. Fatigue and impatience with the still uncertain result of the battle clearly troubled all figthing. Tess, despite the support from others and short breaks, was slowly losing strength, and her shield was starting to let through some of the stronger mental attacks. Alice also felt very tired of constantly browsing through so many, often quite complicated, minds at once. Deborah returned quickly to the battlefield, and, encouraged by victory over Salvadore, she fought as fiercely as ever.Fortunately, the battle was still remarkably even. Everyone knew that, according to the prophecy of Joan Thomson, mother of Johnathan and the great Oracle, the fate of
July 19 finally came and that day, from the very morning, Meredith felt that the opponents were approaching. Around noon, she notified everyone:- The army will soon emerge from behind the trees, they will come from the forests to the east, I feel the very strong demon energy. There are a lot of them... More than we expected. They also took the worst scums from the Underworld with them, vampires, strigoi, trolls and other monsters, all children of the darkness.- Meredith said, staring at the forest wall.- So many minds...- Alice added, focusing hard on understanding the thoughts of the enemies.- Can you read all of their minds?- Rita asked, looking at her with concern.- I understand the thoughts of the demons and the others have far less complex minds, so I have no problem understanding the thoughts of trolls, strigoi and similar creatures. It will be worse with vampires, because some of them are "shields" and therefore can block their mind just like Tess.- Al
After two days, more invited guests started arriving at the house and soon there were so many of them that on July 14 everyone had to move to a meadow behind the forest, a dozen or so kilometres from the city and only 2 kilometres from the valley where the battle was to take place.Meredith and Elisabeth brought great magicians from Siberia and elves from the Amazon rainforest. Rita gathered all members of the Spencer family - mother, father, grandmother, two sisters and another brother, Eleazar brought his thirty fellow wizards with whom he attended the school of magic, and they took their family and friends with them. Johnathan, along with Isabelle, invited his mother, five brothers and their wives, even children, who were mostly grown up and could fight demons very well. Alice notified fairies and dwarves from parallel worlds, which Johnathan helped her with by opening portals, besides that also her family, friends and acquaintances, whom she had many, in different parts of
Alistair became enormously furious each time, hearing about the next unsuccessful actions of Salvadore and his truncated gang.- If it weren't for Damon's betrayal, we'd have had it all over the head a long time ago, but now I have to struggle with such idiots like you!- Alistair shouted at Salvadore, Johhan and Chris who were just standing in front of him.- I do not understand how it is possible for almost three years, three demons at that, can not get rid of one sorceress! This is out of my mind! After all, it was possible for a single demon to do it in the past!- he gasped, giving each one of them a murderous glare.- But my lord, you don't know how many protectors are there now. Two wizards, as many as nine sorceresses, one of them is a half-angel and... It is clear that they have prepared themselves much better than before...- Salvadore tried to justify himself and his companions.- Ah, so that's the problem? You just simply don't know how to trick them!- Alistai
