It's kabal's first day in Julian's room. It's the first time he woke up in royalty. It's weird, as expected. He was woken up this time not by noisy crows of Roger's birds, but the rustle noise made by royal maids. He had stayed with Julian against his mother's wish. He assured her that he'll be fine. She do not trust the demons at all. He rose up, had his bath and joined Julian at the dinning table.
"Morning Sire." He bowed, taking a seat across the table. His meal was served and they ate quietly.Julian was glad he got at least comfortable enough. He didn't expect him to be shy but he know how much pretence or rather impersonation, another being will put off if asked to live with the crown prince."Your training commences today." He announced. "Its a tournament with me. There's really nothing you need to learn. I'd like to see your skill."Kabal was shocked. He'd fight with the demon Prince. That is just beyond his dreams, if he ever had any. It's practically im"Whoa. We are back at this old house. Who would have thought?"Claire gasped. We teleported to Ethan's house. It's the only place that's safe enough. I looked around, we were complete. One big family. These are the people that I belong to. We will stick together, forever.Emiliar was the first to jump up the stairs. "I love my room. I'll take it quick. By the way, I'm so tired."She said while leaving. Emiliar is growing up, more possessive."How many rooms do you have here, Ethan?"Claire addressed Ethan who was helping with our bags."Quite a number. Won't be enough though. I have five or something. This place was formerly a bee and bee" He said. Well, a "bee and bee" as he called it means an hotel (sort of)."Little wonder, the rooms are perfect."I added. "Well, I'll stay with Emiliar."I can't go back to my room. Oh my... it's sight.. it'll definitely remind me of things I don't want to think of. That room...why do I think it is possessed.Huh... oops!
Young Alistair was chained in a lying position, at the centre of the assembly. The camp was as noisy as hell. Roger stood in front of her, flanked by his army, wearing a huge, triumphant smile. He was twice as large as any man she'd ever seen with long fangs and claws."Little Lamb of the white coven. Are you ready to swear your allegiance to me and enter my service." He snarled.Alistair spat in his face. "I'd never. Mark my words!"His grin widened as his eyes twinkled at her."You are brave indeed! I guess you were never taught the right manners."He looked over his cloud of army."Babestian!"He called out, his other brother, whom he has also enslaved.Babestian stepped out chains rattling from his limbs."We need to teach this little girl a lesson."Babestian only nodded, he looked so weak in those chains like he'd been enchanted or something. Roger always had his way."I would have done this myself but I'd be happier watching."H
"We need to get to the castle today. Alistair, I need Apheles' help." I informed them after breakfast. Alistair's mood seemed to have lightened. She chatted heartily with Emiliar while cooking. Well, Emiliar has that skill. Besides, it was a full house in the kitchen. Claire and Emiliar had enough gossips to take anyone's mind off his problems. The group dispersed to pack their belongings and prepare the horses leaving Alistair and I in the living room.Alistair walked to a window, made her usual whistling noise in the air while I wrote a note to the Army head."We are on our way to the castle. We'll stay at the castle till the day of the war. You promised our safety. We are Eight, by the way.Karen."I folded the note and placed in Apheles claws. Alistair kissed her and she flew away. She remained at the window, her dark mood slowly renewing itself."Alistair, are you okay?" I was forced to ask."Of course."She smiled. It was glaringly faked. "Katriena
" Is that Alistair, the first princess of the white coven." Israel shrieked on seeing us. Even his guards, wore a surprised look. I took a glance at Alistair. Well, her expression was bland but I could tell she wasn't enjoying the publicity.Isreal walked up to us as we dismounted from our horse. He bowed to Alistair. She only nodded."Oh my goodness Milady, we all thought you were dead.""I am."Alistair finally spoke. "I mean, for now. You and your guards should keep this as a secret for now. I'm not ready to reveal myself to the public, okay?""Okay, Milady"Wow, Alistair's perfect!*We walked along the aisle, Israel leading the way. He looked less frigid than he was the last time. He was happy, though when he asked for the chosen one, I said I had no idea. He was surprised I could lift the key, I guess that shut him up. He said he had prepared a table for us but we insisted we needed to rest. It's no good time for eating, is it?He
I decided to go check up on Alistair. Ethan was exiting the room when I walked in. I saw Alistair on her bed, head buried in her pillow. I got curious. What happened here?"Alistair." I joined her. "Hei, it's me."I removed the pillow from her head. I saw her relax. She opened a drawer and gave me a photoframe. I was stunned. There was a couple in it. They looked very young and beautiful. The young woman had long curly golden hair, her green eyes stood out in the picture. The young man was like the most handsome being I've ever seen, I had to remind myself it's just a picture. He had flashy blue eyes and perfect black hair."Our parents. You never met them but..."I was so shocked on hearing this that for a moment I doubted my ears."What did you say?""That's mom and dad. You know them now."She yawned."Oh my...they are stunning. Ah..."I held it to my heart, fantasizing about them feeling my heart beat."I'll find them. I will.""Is there anyt
Sylvia curtsied on seeing Israel walk into her apartment. She had stayed in, brooding since their last talk."Sylvia, how are you doing?"Isreal took a seat on the couch."I'm okay Milord."She answered."You told the head of maids you weren't."Israel haf asked of her from the head maid since he didn't see her thought-out his preparations for Karen and her company.Sylvia muttered an apology."Have you remembered?"He asked. Sylvia gave a solemn nod."Then I have no choice" Israel said. "We have a big war tomorrow. The chosen one and her comrades have arrived. You need your memory because you would be at war tomorrow and you need to remember your fighting skill at least. I can't leave you here in he castle. It's not safe. "He stood up from his seat and moved closer to her. Sylvia froze in place, scared of what his next step would be. She stood up, her back against the wall."We still have some time. it's just noon. You will be awake before dawn, surel
There was a feast at the castle. The usual kind of feast Roger has whenever a big war is coming. Julian was in his chamber with kabal, teaching him the things he needed to know, when a guard informed him about the feast and that the king asks that he must be there. Kabal had mix feelings about it but he could not stop his master from attending the feast. Julian instructed him to turn off the lights and go to bed but Kabal could not. He felt something was off. Maybe something really was off. He left the chamber, though late, he had lost sight of Julian. He walked round the castle, searching for the exact place the feast was holding but didn't find it. It's a private feast so it wasn't taken at the assembly hall. Frustrated, he retraced his steps back to the chamber.He was stopped by whisperings from a room, the royal kitchen. His curiosity led on and he decided to have a peek through the half closed window.He saw Raleigh conversing with the head nurse. He had to strain hi
I stood on the top of one of the hills of the northern province of the demons territory, my comrades by my side.The demons' soldiers were already on the horizon. We planned to go meet them at the castle but the sudden change of event didn't matter anyway. All around, men were busy preparing their weapons. Archers took positions, thousands of them, arrows and bows also ready. If they want it on this hill, so be it. Thousands of more men took positions with Spears, young legion members with slings. Thousands of men beneath the hill had swords and Shields and every weapon imaginable. Israel was giving commands, with Alistair, looking stronger by my side. I felt optimistic. This is the war I've lived for. With the Key wounded in my hands, I already knew what the results of the war would be. It would be a hard one though.I looked again over the horizon and reminded myself of what was coming. The demons has never been defeated on any battle. I forced myself to believe that this ti
