132 - Built Differently

ARAH

More than anything, that was what intrigued her the most. “Why is a sylph helping witches on Earthland?” She still couldn’t make sense of it. Sylphs were supposed to be protectors of humanity... guardians against supernatural and interdimensional threats. That was their purpose, their life mission. Why would one be helping a human gain powers by accessing a hostile dimension that even higher mortals wouldn’t dare venture into?

It reminded her of what Gildeon had once told her about a group of sylphs stationed on Earthland by the Shining Keeper. They were soldiers tasked with eliminating threats to lower mortals and maintaining the balance of power within Earthland.

Hunters.

They were built differently from the Shamibar sylphs.

Was Zephyr one of them? But something else was off about him, something unnatural that she couldn’t quite put her finger on. And then there was that odd sense of familiarity. Had she heard of him back in

  • MAD END'S DECEPTION   251 - It Just Felt Wrong

    ARAHShe circled the misty figure of her father, feeling the raw force of her wings beating. Power surged through every muscle and feather of her owl form, energy crackling through her small body like wind caught in a storm.Just as a sword slashed toward her, she veered sharply to the side, then dove low, ducking beneath a slicing arc of wind unleashed by his other hand.She raked her talons across his abdomen, drawing a hollow, haunting groan from him. The figure dissolved into nothingness, but then, three more copies of her father materialized within the fog enclosure.Quickly, she commanded the male owl and her wind tattoo to take on the two flanking illusions, while she honed in on the one in the center.Then she felt a sudden presence from behind her. Like the prickling sensation of raised feathers, an instinctive chill swept through her owl form.Her head turned sharply, eyes locking onto the mortal body she’d left be

  • MAD END'S DECEPTION   250 - The Sun Bleeds Gold

    GILDEONHe’d imagined a few different ways Yonah the Fallen might appear to him, but this had come as close to a shock as anything.Besides, it wasn’t the look he’d been expecting. Was this a lower mortal disguise? Because Gildeon found it hard to believe Yonah could look this young.Then again, he’d never seen a High Immortal in person before. They revealed themselves only to Seers, and even then, the Seers had always said High Immortals were hard to describe.Yonah casually cracked the crab body, scooped a generous dollop of buttery garlic onto the meat, and sucked up the crab roe without missing a beat.It was strange to see the infamous Fallen Immortal act like an ordinary human.“It was Kohina,” Yonah said, “wasn’t it?”Gildeon nearly asked how he knew her, but stopped himself. Yonah knowing all the Seers shouldn’t have come as a surprise. And the fact that he’d called him the dragon was explanation enough.

  • MAD END'S DECEPTION   249 - Under Someone Else’s Power

    GILDEONHe probably shouldn’t have agreed to do just anything to make amends. Out of all the things Arah could’ve asked of him… this was the last thing he expected.“Arah said you’re at least decent in the kitchen.” Tonio stood with his arms crossed, glaring at him with the kind of look that could cut a man down.Arah had warned him how much this guy knew about what had happened. Gildeon could already tell Tonio was going to give him a hard time because of it.To be fair, Gildeon had sort of earned it. And if anything, he appreciated that Arah had friends who gave a damn about her. Wanted to protect her.“I know a thing or two,” he said casually, glancing around the restaurant. They were still closed, but one of the staff was already cleaning the dining area.Photos of past customers lined the walls, including a few he guessed were celebrities—ones Arah had once bragged about when talking about Tonio’s restaurant.It

  • MAD END'S DECEPTION   248 - Feel Him Everywhere

    ARAHShe woke up with a big smile on her face. She couldn’t remember the last time she’d slept that well.A small pang of disappointment hit when she realized Gildeon was already gone from the bed. However, the sound of movement in the kitchen made her heart skip a beat. She sprang up, nearly tripping over Lexi’s scattered things on the floor, which she quickly gathered and tidied up.Arah tiptoed down the hallway, careful not to make a sound. Not that it mattered. Salamanders like Gildeon had incredibly sharp senses too. Still, she wanted to do some silly, sneaky things with him—just like human couples did.She leaned against the wall at the end of the hallway and watched him move around the kitchen, cooking breakfast. His back muscles flexed beneath the soft stretch of his white shirt, and she bit her lip, smiling to herself.Her mind drifted back to last night,to how big and hard he’d been for her, the hunger in his kiss,

  • MAD END'S DECEPTION   247 - Awakened Sylph

    GILDEONHe wasn’t sure how long he’d been watching Arah sleep. The steady rise and fall of her breath, the way her head rested on his arm…She was completely out, worn down from everything that had happened. She looked peaceful. Safe. Like she trusted him with all of her. It was ironic considering that the first time he brought her down to Earthland, all he’d thought about was how to make her submit to him.Gently, he brushed a blue curl from her face. He could’ve stared at her forever and never gotten tired of it.“Did Master fuck Sylph Lady already?”Gildeon’s head snapped up. At the foot of the bed, Ghulik was climbing on, crouched low on the mattress with that wide, toothy grin of his. His crimson eyes scanned Arah from head to toe like he was inspecting a prize. Gildeon pulled the comforter up to cover her bare body.‘I didn’t sense your return,’ he said telepathically, carefully sliding his arm out and sitting up.

  • MAD END'S DECEPTION   246 - I'd Rather It Be You

    GILDEONShock and confusion tore through him like wildfire. Even his dragon spirit stirred uneasily within him. He had already suspected that his real mother wasn’t just an ordinary higher mortal. But to hear the words, Dragon Queen and High Immortal, was almost impossible to grasp.“Don’t know much about High Immortals, myself,” Roselia remarked, “only that Yonah’s one, far as I know.”“We don’t know much about them either.” Gildeon stared into what was left of his tea. “All we know is the Shining Keeper came down from the higher dimension with her companions—the High Immortals. They helped her shape the world how she wanted.”Arah chimed in, “So… could it mean your mother was one of those companions?”“Could be,” he replied simply, his thoughts beginning to spiral inward, tugging him deeper.But before he could get lost in the weight of that revelation, he forced himself to pull back. He needed to shift the conversation be
