"Have you ever seen an naked man before?" I asked as she steps into the shower. "No..." she shuddered. "Very good." I turned off the shower, took her cheek in my hand, and start kissing her delectable lips.

"Arkael my king, please do not this to us, we have been following your order...you can not take our livelihood away. How are we supposed to fend for our needs? our children, our elders, please my king, I beg you..." she was kneeling down begging him.
"You have been warned shaman, we do not take lightly on witchcraft in our kingdom. Enough! I've heard plenty from my advisors. You and your people are to leave the kingdom, and search for another place to live." The handsome king Arkael stood up, and was about to leave his throne when the old woman took out her hand.
She held out an old dirty pouch, and took out a hand full of what looked like dust and blew it onto his face, then drop the rest to the floor. It blew up in smoke, his guards were suddenly holding her down but her voice was loud and threatening when she chanted her words and cursed him to damnation.
King Arkael vanished into thin air, and she was decapitated on the spot.
*******
"Arrghhh...ughh..." what did she just do to me. My body felt hot, my skin was burning, like hot flaming fire was licking all over my body. I could still hear her, chanting the words of a language that I did not even recognize. I could feel myself falling down fast to a never-ending black pit, where is she sending me to?
She cursed me, I told her to leave my kingdom and she cursed me. I had defended her, I had spared her and her people's lives and let them walked away from my kingdom and she cursed me to..where am I?
It was not until my body crashed to the black soil I could see my surroundings, vast deserted land of nothingness, sky tinted in a deeper shade of red in a much darker color than the evening summer sun. It was a hot surrounding but somehow I feel cold like I was dead inside.
Am I dead? did she kill me? am I in hell?
I winced as I felt the hurt in body, I tried to move but it seems that all of my bones had been crush from the fall, I looked up but see nothing but black sky.
This is it you're done Arkael, your reigning days of ruling your kingdom is over.
"Arrrgghhh....what the...aarrghhh...goddamn...uughhh...."
Bones were cracking I could hear it, it felt like they were adjusting, fixing, mending themselves. I've had broken bones before, and this felt a hundred times worse than when you were popping your broken bone back in place for the healer to fix.
I was groaning, growling in pain, my tears fall from the pain, my throat was sore from my screams. I was sweating bullets, tears and sweat rolled down my face, my fingers and toes curled trying to hold the pain. I was in a fetal position then quickly adjust, as my back was cracking in places I never knew existed. I was truly in immense pain, I was hoping that I could faint or even die.
I thought I was already dead?
"Welcome..." a blackened creature that looks like a small man with a tail greeted me. His face looked like one of the gargoyles from one of the ancient books that I read.
"Whe...where...am I? am I ...arrghhh...dead...?" I was struggling with my words. The cracking of my bones was still happening, I was ready to die if I wasn't dead already.
"You are in hell my human friend, you have been sent down here by the sorceress. Just like me and a couple of others, don't worry about the pain it'll be gone soon enough. We all went through that, it's how our body evolved to the surroundings it's part of their magic tricks." He shrugged while I was still tearing up on the inside.
So, I was not the only one sent down to this hell hole.
He was right, moments later the pain subsides, I was feeling better but more and more confused. "So, we are not dead? but yet we're in hell? why?"
"Come on let's get you away from this barren land, other creatures might smell you and confuses you with dinner." He waved his hand signaling me to go with him.
I had no choice, rather than to go with him. I didn't see the benefit of me staying put at my original place. I didn't even know if there would be any more creatures that might come my way and offered me any hints just like this gargoyle look-alike man.
Slowly I tried to get myself up, I was surprised when I felt my body was all better, I felt stronger than ever, but I choked when I look at my hand. It all looked and smell like burnt skin, and I had just realized that I was bucked naked, with chaffed skin all over my body, my hands went to my face feeling the same harsh skin.
"Yup, you're not as pretty as you used to now aren't you? at least you still got your height. Me? she freaking cursed me as a midget gargoyle complete with a fucking tail. Maybe she has mistaken me with cupid, but lately, I knew it was her ways of taunting with my destiny." He gruffly said while walking his little feet in front of me, I caught up to him in no time.
"I'm Arkael...how long have you been here?" I said to him lowly, still trying to adjust with my body and the flow of information that flooded my brain.
"Savaric, it has been too many decades for me, the next decade will be my first hundred-year here, while the longest one in our camp is over one twenty ..." he said lightly.
"You mean one hundred and twenty years?"
Damn...
"Yes and he likes to rub it off in our faces saying he'll be out in the next few decades..."
"So, this is like our jail time? But I spared her life and her people's, don't we get a say before any of her rulings?"
"Woah there...this isn't a kingdom, this is a pit of hell where you try to survive daily, and get out of harm's way. Unless you got caught, then you will endure the punishment. And under here all things game, pfft ...you will thank yourself that you're no longer a pretty boy. At least with your height, you can defend yourself nicely."
I still didn't know what he meant by that, when out of nowhere two muscular giants appear before us.
"Goddamn it! Me and my smart mouth...run Arkael! Follow me!"
I was about to do so when one of the giant grab Savaric by his tail and picked him up easily. I was looking for something to defend myself with when I saw that the giant had a single sword on one of his legs. He must've used it as a knife, but to me, that looked like one heavy-looking sword.
My heart was beating faster as I fear for my life. I was hoping that I could pick it up, and smirked on the inside when I managed to swiftly take it away from him. I quickly climbed up to his back and slit his throat. He tumbled down with a loud thud, then the other ogre look-a-like giant turned to my direction and lift up his leg trying to squash me. But I quickly ran up to him and jumped him from the back and slit his throat too.
I couldn't believe that I had this kind of power surged inside my body. I was dumbfounded with my strength and my agility, even my reflexes were more in tune than when I was above ground.
"Wow, what are you before? A king?"
I didn't answer him, I was still baffled by my own power.
Four years later"Oh my god, Arkael! I swear that kid of yours is going to be the death of me." Shani sighed exaggeratedly while still holding on to her scissors."Baby, he's your kid too. He even has your freckles." I said while quickly peck her freckled cheeks."Audric my boy, sit and stop running around. Let your mom cut your hair.""I DON'T WANT TO! it's going to hurt. Daaad....save me!" he was whining and screaming at the same time. His little chubby hands sprawled out to me, trying to get me to pick him up.I couldn't help myself and finally let out laughter, which makes my dearest beautiful wife pouted equally adorable."Both of you are equally killing me with your cuteness. Come here..."I picked up my little guy with one hand and pulled my feisty mate for a kiss with the other."Eeeew....gross. Down...put me DOWN!
"Arkael, I'm not feeling so good." She snuggled in closer to me.It had been a week since her last encounter with the demon crawler and she was still recuperating too slow. Her wounds were gone, not even a scar to remind her of but she was still sleepy all the time, and she started vomiting since early this morning."Let me get Maven for you okay? Do you want Sabina or maybe Rain?""You...I want you, just...oh god..." then I gave her the bowl to throw up. Sabina was by her side moments later, giving her a drink to take away the foul taste in her mouth."My king, Maven would like to speak to you if you have the time. Let me ease her nausea...may I?" she looked at me then to Shani.She nodded then smile at me when her nausea was taken away by the simple touch of Sabina's hand."I'm good love, go...Sabina will keep me company while we gossip about Savaric and Basilea."
Shani's POVI was back at Maven's for a day of summoning demons back to hell. I sighed as I feel the need to get the whole thing over and done with."My queen, I've located several and master Rain had discovered the rest..."I looked up at Maven then scanned the surroundings, and yelp when I saw Rain standing with his book smiling at me."Oh my God, I've missed you so fucking much!!" I hugged him as he lifts me up and squeezes me with his all, his eyes switch as his wolf greeted me. I grinned after kissing his cheek and ruffled his hair."Okay...what did I tell you about my hair." He chuckled then let me get back down to my feet."Awww... welcome back and I missed you wolfie!" I hugged him one more time before Maven cleared his throat, to remind us that he was present."Okay six more demons, let's do this!" I was back to my serious side an
She joined me to the bed taking both of the nymphs with her. Then she let Sabina get on top of me and touch my temple, while Muriel was behind her giving small kisses to her shoulder. It was like Muriel was giving her the support that she needed.Then it hit me, the first wave of her sadness. I know that Sabina had the power to absorbs other being's inner feelings. But I didn't know that she could release the feeling back onto others.The desperation, the broken heart, the helplessness, the deep sadness, and eventually the unwillingness to live without me. My heart breaks for her and I finally shed a tear.Shani moved closer to me then kiss my tear away. "I love you, my king, always." She kissed me softly for the longest time. I could feel Sabina getting up, then Muriel joined her. Both of them slowly walked away from the bed, and finally, leave us alone.We were both engulfed with the fe
She was really angry with me, she had spent her mornings and afternoons these past two days with Maven with an excuse that she needs to get everything done and let me heal.She would cuddle up with me at the end of the day giving me her strength, but I could tell that she was not giving her all."Your healing process is going too slow my king." Maven said as he was checking my back injury."You think?! Look...is she done yet with those demons? I really need to settle this back on earth. She's not being herself here."I was upset with Maven, obviously for putting me in the position. I understand that it was needed but it was still irritating for me.It was hours later when I finally had the extra patience to deal with her. I didn't want both of us to snap when we argue, I know exactly how she could be very passionate about her arguments. I needed to be calm and settle this once and for all.
Shani's POV"Savaric! What the hell happened to him?" my vision was getting blurry, I was suffocating.No no, no no....he promised me! His handsome face was very pale, his back shield was broken and mashed badly. I wouldn't have to imagine what kind of damage caused to his back, his spine...oh my god, will he be able to walk or even sit again?I didn't have the strength to stand up anymore and was about to fall if Sabina was not there to support me."My queen, please...let me help you. Maven sent me to usher you to king Arkael's chamber...""Warrior Savaric, please follow me Muriel and Maven are already there." She said as she sees Savaric by his side.Sabina helped me to Arkael's chamber, she was by my side and was giving me more strength. But I was losing hope already, I could only watch as they were all busy stripping
