🌹🌹 Winning And Revelations (Part 1) 🌹🌹
🌹 Vala POV 🌹
I twist my head to stare at my two guardians and their eyes spoke the same words.
'Don't you dare lose or else....'
I breathed in and out and waited for the signal.
"Go!" The announcer shouted and the race began.
I waited and allowed other supernaturals to enter the cave first, in that way they won't say I cheated.
"Vala, you stupid girl what are you waiting for? Enter the cave this minute." Queen Calfy yelled but I ignored her.
The other four elves with me can't go into the cave without me, being the leader, leading them so they waited but I could feel their burning aura behind me.
Once I and my team were the only ones outside, it was time.
"Let's go." I said and I started leading them into the cave.
Entering the cave, darkness greeted us. It was too dark for us to see what's in front of us. I stretched my right hand forward and the chain coiled around my it uncoiled itself and it floated in the air as the chain glowed red, bringing out fire which brightens in the cave.
The cave was supposed to suppress every power, that was how the task had been, but somehow, it couldn't suppress my chains around me.
"Are you not done yet Vala? The rest are getting ahead of us, we need to hurry before they retrieve the sword." One of the elves, a male, told me.
"Then kindly lead the way Mr ahead of us." I said and chain touched the wall, closing my eyes, I saw the whole of the cave, what was inside, the traps and finally where the Demon was being held. I opened my eyes. "Let's go." I said and I ran prompting others to do the same, my chain lightening our way.
I stopped when I faced six tunnels.
"Which one are we going to follow?" The only female apart from me, asked. We are five, three males and two females.
"This is tricky." I answered as I stared at each of the tunnels. I have seen the entire cave and the tunnels leading nowhere. That was why I said it was tricky.
"So what are we going to do, we can't lose to others. We always emerge first Vala, don't fail if not we are going to tell your guardians how you purposely delayed us--"
I zoomed out of the stupid male elf threat and slowly looked at the entrance of the tunnels. I saw something just at the top of a tunnel.
I walked to the first one and removed a black half diamond. I also noticed the rest of the five tunnels all have half of the black diamonds. I need to find the piece that fit the one I am holding.
"We need to find the piece that matches the diamond." I told my team, showing them the black diamond in my hand.
"Take one and join it together." The elf girl suggested.
"No, taking any of the diamond without finding it's real half, will take us to another place where the demon is not. So we need to find the real half from the five. But whoever set this, doesn't have brains, it seems they ran out of ideas." I explained as I walked to the fifth tunnel and took the half black diamond hanging at the top of it and joined it together with the one I was holding. It glowed as it joined together. I walk at the empty wall besides the sixth tunnel. "But to them, their idea will be hard to solve not knowing, they have a grandmaster who knows everything, me of course. And that was why they created a seventh tunnel which can be opened with this black diamond." I told them and placed the diamond in a hole I had earlier saw before seeing the half diamonds.
The whole diamond fitted the hold and it went in, and true to my words, a seventh tunnel opened and from it we could hear the growls of the captured demon.
"Tada." I sing out with a smile. I am always right, pen that down, always right. I have never made any mistakes when it comes to solving a problem. I moved back a little so that the six tunnels are facing me and I could see them. "There is a seventh tunnel here guys and the demon is in it." I shouted as loudly as I could and turned to face my team. "Let's go."
"Why did you tell them? You could have waited until we'd retrieve the sword from the demon before we tell them."
"Before they can reach here, we would have already retrieved the sword from the demon, so chill, you are not the one doing the hard work here." I told them.
We entered the tunnel and we started running.
The tunnel leads us to a larger cave where a tall and large demon is, I guess magic is at work again, how can a cave be so tall to fit this large and tall demon? At the entrance of the cave was blue light which blocked the ugly Demon's only escaping route. I saw the sword, hanging at the very rock ceiling. My chain coiled itself back at my right wrist as the fire went off.
I was the first to reach the blue light before my team came.
"How were you able to outrun us when you are fat?" The elf girl asked me as she and the other three male elves were breathing fast.
"Don't let my looks deceive you thin rope." I responded. "Let's get the sword." I told them and we entered the large cave, passing the blue light.
I noticed my team wasn't moving any more, they were stuck in one place. Going to meet the elf girl, I tried to shake her but she was not moving.
What is wrong with them? Did the demon cast a spell on them?
"I was sent here to give you this, my queen." A thick hoarse voice said behind me.
I turned around quickly only to see the Demon on his knees with a pendant.
"What did you do to my team?" I asked the demon as the chains on my both wrists started losing.
"I put them in a trace, they are imagining they are walking around here looking for the sword but they didn't know they are stuck in one place." The Demon answered. "For the rest coming here, I also slow them down."
"Release them this minute."
"Not until you collect this pendant from me."
"And why should I?"
"Don't you want to know who you truly are. I risk my life to get caught just so I would see you and give you this pendant. Do you think they would catch me that easily? The demon war made many of us run into hiding for many years until we heard a rumour of you. The girl who will help the elf win but will reject the offer to go to the supernatural school."
"And if I am not that girl?"
"Well another of my kind would be caught next year to meet her."
"I am not interested in that pendant of yours, I am here to retrieve the sword and we will be on our way out of the cave."
"You are a demon my Princess."
"You are mistaken I am an elf."
"Demon blood flows inside of you, even the chains around you have demon aura. Take this pendant and everything will be revealed to you, someone wants to meet you and he's going to tell you everything."
I ignored the demon, seeing he was spitting out rubbish and did not want to fight, I decided to bring down the sword and force him to release my team.
Weird that he doesn't want to fight.
"Why are you so less concerned about what I just told you. I risk everything and let myself be captured just to meet you and after meeting you, you are throwing my words aside? I guess you don't want to meet your mother."
I stopped right in my tracks and turned to face him, he was still kneeling them.
"What did you say? My mother is dead."
"Queen Elfy, your mother is still alive but being held as a prisoner in Galore dungeon. Take this pendant my Princess and you will understand everything."
I stared at the demon for a full minute before I started laughing. "Nice try, next time, try coming up with a believable lie."
'Sometimes your heart is the only thing worth listening to.'🌹🌹 Winning And Revelations (Part 2) 🌹🌹 🌹 Writer POV 🌹"Vala you have to believe me, I am not joking." The demon told the girl standing before him who was looking less concerned. "I can't lie to you, you have demon blood running through your veins my princess." The demon added."I still don't believe you, how can you say I am a demon? If I am a demon like you claim then why am I not showing any sign of a demon, why am I not turning into your hideous form? Can you answer that lair?" Vala snarled."I am not lying to you my Princess, your mother awaits you to rescue her at Galore dungeon." The demon said."My mother is dead." Vala deadpan."Do you know who your grandfather is? He's the Dragon King." The demon told her. He wasn't lying and he wondered why the Demon princess wasn't believing him.

Did you put me in a sort of trace?" Vala demanded harshly as she regained herself and was glaring at Zelik."The wine you drank made you know who you truly are Vala." Zelik replied as he smiled at her."And how did you know all this, were you there when the egg I was in fell down?""My master has the power to see the future, he foresighted this and gave me this wine to give it to Haule's daughter, so whatever t

Her life flows clean, with passion, like fresh water.'🌹🌹 The Truth and Leaving (Part 2) 🌹🌹She faces her guardians."You cut off Pula tongue and lied against her thinking that the truth won't surface one day." Vala told her guardians, everywhere was quiet. "Now listen and listen carefully to me, the both of you, I am leaving for the supernatural school tomorrow. Stop me if you can." Saying that, she made to leave their gathering when Haera's voice stopped her right in her tracks."Mother, are you going to keep quiet and allow her insult and disgrace you in public? Not only that, next year I will be going to the supernatural school. We need her to stay here till when I'm gone, not now that she's leaving." Princess Haera said, going to meet her m

"Follow me." He said and started walking towards the hostel with Vala and Pula behind him. He entered a compound which has many buildings and which was quiet. He led her to a building which was a bungalow.He magically made a key appear in his hand which he used to open the door, he entered first before Vala and Pula followed suit.Vala looked around in awe, the living room was decorated nicely, the chairs and tables were made of silver. Three closed doors were seen.Perhaps a Princess once lived here. Va

Vala used all her strength on the chain to drag Ruthless feet away but all to no avail, she couldn't move his leg.What is happening? Why can't her chain pull his leg? This has never happened before.She tired to remove her chain from his leg but got the surprise of her life when it didn't.The dragon boy under Ruthless feet burned and melted into ashes and finally disappeared.The rest of the newbies all ran out or the cafeteria except Vala who was trying every

Ruthless said, crossing his arms across his chest as he waited. "Go on." His cold voice prompted Vala to face the rocks. She made to move forward when a slight breeze blew and a beautiful lady appeared in front of her, pushing her back.Vala who wasn't expecting any attack fell down to the ground.➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖The Land of Elves:Queen Alfy and her sister couldn't believe that they were disgraced in front of their people by that useless girl.Queen Calfy had gone to meet her sister in her room."You know, I still can't believe that Vala would disgrace us like that, if it was in this palace, it would have been different." Queen Alfy said."She did not only disgrace us in front of our people
'In the game of life;Sometimes we win,Sometimes we loss,Either ways, we should always keep playing.'🌹🌹 Athena and Vala (Part 3) 🌹🌹The veil was visible again and it opened. The loud gasps that filled the air made Vala smile in triumph. She caught Athena's arm and drew the goddess towards herself, and surprisingly hugged her."I have been playing around with you Athena, but don't try this next time, if you think it's because you are the goddess of war you will try to misbehave with every goddamn creature you see, then you are wrong, because I am your goddess of death." Vala said hugging the life out of Athena. The goddess tries to free herself from the Vala tight hold but couldn't. "Don't embarrass yourself, I am not done yet. Don't ever try to cut my path Athena, or else I'll cut the lines of your life." She added and released her hold on the goddess, smiling as she let go of Athena."Darling." Athena said going to mee

King Galore answered, almost immediately."I know." Ruthless said. "You two, did I lie against your son?" He asked the parents of the dragon boy he had killed."No, everything you said here is the truth my Prince." They spoke in unison. King Rex stared at them in surprise."I know." Ruthless said with a chilling smile. "Your other son, should he behave like this, I won't hesitate to wipe him off the surface of the world, do I make myself clear?""Yes my Prince.""This meeting is closed Rex, take yourself and your two council members out of my kingdom before you will join their son." Ruthless said to them."Of course my Prince, thanks for you finding
