Emiliar curled up on the bed. All the visions of all that has happened during the day kept her eyes open and her brain racing. She thought of katrienair, how weak and pale she looked in those chains but the fact that she's alive gave her a little hope. She felt a sting in her heart as she thought of her welfare. She might still be chained or those people might have taken her away.       How did she get there in the first place?   Emiliar prayed that all was well with her best friend. In some way, she craved to see Sylvia, though she's not really familiar with her but the woman looked like a perfect mother. She loved her and she believed katrienair won't be still chained if she was here.  She felt useless. She'd be locked in this place w

I woke up to absolutely blackness. I felt weak, still chained. I was sweating and I felt pain all over my body. That was a whole bulk of my memory I have regained in my dream. It's a dream but I now remember vividly how it happened. I did not appear here chained for nothing. I was brought here by the leader of the gang of three I fought with. Wow, I fought hard but he got me  with that handkerchief and now I'm here chained in their territory. Now I know how I got here but why did I have to forget for so long. I looked around the room, it was dark but but I could sense that something was not right about this new day. I tried to remember the last place I was. I was training and had to fight a beast. Where's Luna? I was content when she whined beneath my dress. I knew something bad was going to happen today cause my dream bringing back my memory must imply something. Will I be executed today? Huh maybe, those that kept me here w

The water covered my entire body, making it hard to breathe, or open my eyes. After about ten seconds, though, after my entire hair and body and clothes were completely drenched, I blinked my eyes, getting prepared for the pain to come. But it didn’t come. I blinked, then looked up at the cauldron, wondering if it were completely empty. It was. I looked back down at myself, and saw I was drenched. But I was completely fine. Not an ounce of pain. Roger, suddenly realizing, stood in his chair, jaw dropping. He was clearly shocked. Abraim, too, turned and looked, his mouth open. The entire assembly, thousands of demons, all stood, and a gasps spread through the room. I could see that this was not the reaction they had been expecting. They were all dumbfounded. I also. What could have gone wrong? Somehow, their water had

Julian stormed into the room. He was angry and sad at the same time. Angry at himself for not being able to do anything to save Katrienair. The sight of Katrienair being immersed in the holy water without being burned still surprises him and in some way, he's believed that she had the power to deal with this herself: that gave him a bit of hope but the feeling of responsibility still taunted his conscience. He carefully locked the doors of his chamber and walked into Emiliar's room. She was sitting at a corner of the room, weaving a woolen cloth. Tears were visible on her face and she seemed lost in her own thoughts. Julian felt pity for her, he craved to know what exactly was going on in her little mind. He sat on the iron cushion for a while staring at her, in some way he enjoyed the silence, the serene atmosphere. Emiliar noticed a silhouette of a person in her room, at first she was gripped with fear, she's been caught. But on a second thought she be

The next morning Julian was surmmoned before the council. He has a big case in his hands now. Talking back at the leader in that manner in the presence of the whole assembly. What could have justified that act? He has disgraced the royal family and he will have to pay dearly for it. Well, Julian had other plans. The demons might think only rules, doctrine, laws and powers rule but the few years he has spent on Earth with humans has taught him that wisdom rules and you can talk to yourself out of any situation instead of wasting your powers. Right now, he's got what this fierce looking old men might think they have but do not. " Prince Julian. You violated the rule of..." " I know that ." He cut them short. Really, he's not in the right state of mind to listen to their quotation of the law. He's known this all his life and
