  Imagine being in the situation where you know what to do but you can't do it because you're scared of what the consequences may be. I should ask for a negotiation straight up but... "You do not fight a war with war and you do not fight a demon with it's weapon, else you become the demon yourself." Sylvia once told me. In her own view, She became the demon herself when she allowed her mother die instead of her. She could have just saved them both but she paid hatred with hatred. Just like staring too long into the abyss and the abyss staring back at you. Hmm, i've got to be wise. Negotiation, it is. Let's hear what they have to say. "Negotiation, what is it about?" I can't stop questio

**Katrienair's POV** “Oh, it's been a long day.” I said as I was brought into my own chamber by a maid. No it's not a long day, it's a big day. Back there in that cage, I never thought I'll be here. Like I'll be an army in this territory that have threatened to kill me so many times. Well I still do not trust them. Not after I've been appointed the crown prince as assistant. Everything about today looks like an illusion to me. I, Katty, now wearing an head of army coat. And my new name, Claudia. It's engraved on a golden pin on my coat. I pulled it of and glared at my image on the mirror. My hair's looking longer, still golden, dirty gold anyway. My eye brows were saggy (I'm tired) but I'm still that beautiful girl I know or rather beautiful woman. But this whole thing is still a shock to me anyway. More ridiculously, I saw Joel yet again. Well, he isn't Joel, he was introduced as prince Jullian. He's my assistant but why does he look so much like my

Joel locked the door of my chamber and joined me on the couch. He hasn't said a word since he came in, just a feint smile. I was still caressing my calf with my palms unconsciously.“Stop touching that like it's a forbidden tattoo. You weren't forced to take it anyway. ” he smirked. “you are one of us now nothing can change that .”Now he's behaving like he's really the prince, the thought of that made my stomach churn. I managed to sit at the far end of the couch, on its arm.“Hei, don't play games okay?” I said. “I'm dead serious” that was true. “ how did you get here? What are you doing here? What are you even saying Joel?”I haven't been convinced that he's Julian. Well, I'm just following my heart.He chuckled staring intently into my eyes. “you didn't change. I knew you can never. ” he paused. I was seething and he noticed it. “Must I answer all of them now. Can't y

I was resting on his chest, my damp hair soaking his shirt. Tears dripped from my eyes. His story, how touching. I have loved ones by my side but I'm scared. Scared that something would go wrong and I won't be able to handle it.“why are you crying Ms?” he asked stroking my hair gently.“ I don't know.” I wiped off the tears. We were silent and I became conscious of where I was. I was leaning on him, I felt safe like I never wanted to leave.“I've missed you so much Katrienair.”He's never called me Katty and I love the way he calls "Katrienair" anyway.“ you are not supposed to miss me that much.” I teased.“but I do.” he smiled. “don't you?”I miss you more than you can ever imagine but you don't deserve to know, right?“i don't know.” I said.“we weren't close friends. You were just a part of my life on earth. One that can be easily forgotten.” I

**Emiliar's Pov**When I got to my room that night I saw Julian sitting on the couch, lost in his thoughts. I should be angry with him.. Or maybe I shouldn't. His private life isn't my business is it? But Katrienair is involved then it is. She just arrived and he's already making advances at her. Who does that?! Little wonder, he's really and truly a demon prince. “ What you doing here, Mister? ”I snapped him out of whatever trance he's been lost in. “ Where are you coming from? ” he demanded. So he's been pondering on where I've been, I doubt that. Who does he think I am, a weakling? “Is that why you're here? ”I “I dropped a note for Christ's sake! You needed no worry”“I wasn't worried. ” he smirked. “why should I anyway? But how did you get the door open? ”A chuckle escaped from my lips. I never knew Julian could ask such a dumb questio

    **Katrienair's POV**   As I sat at the table to read, I pondered on how my life has been. Like a soap opera, it's been too incredible to be true. It's my first day as an army of this kingdom, this world rather. How do I feel? My feelings is blank. Still unsure about some things. Questions like :Am I doing the right thing? Is this my destiny? The man in green light once told me that we choose our destiny, I'm scared my choice have made a wrong destiny for me.  It's okay to be scared, isn't it? Our lives can't be perfect and mine doesnt have to be. I'm reading cause i need to know the people I'm fighting before starting a fight. I was close to the end of the book when I heard a voice over my head.  “Good job Katrienair. ” it was a familiar voice.  “Joel? ” I gasped. “you scared me” His face darkened.  What again? My subconscious questioned.  “Julian or your Majes

  "Shut up you punk!" a guard yelled. "Did you not ?! Did you not barge into the kings property uninvited?!"   "All i wanted was a chance!" he yelled back, his pleading eyes facing me." All i wanted was a chance to join the legion!"   I was impressed by his guts. A slave wants to be a legion member, he's definitely not a demon, a slave anyways.   "The training ground is only for the invited and the qualified." came a gruff voice. A warrior stepped into the circle, looking ageless, broad and stock with a bald head and long beard and a scar looking like a tatoo below his right eye. He looked like he's been a professional soldier all his life. He bent a little on seeing me. The young by looked like

 Kabal, Kabal, that's he's name. Now, I can't see through his mind. I don't know exactly why but I feel like I should watch him at least throughout today's training.***Kabal sat at the wooden table working away with the bow and arrow laid in pieces. Beside him, Dalaine, his new patner alongside with other new recruits of the legion sat. They were all hunched over their weapons, hard at working on carving the bows and tightening the strings. According to their trainer, “a warrior who knows how to strng his bow is sure of a good fight. Your sting determines whether your arrow wouldh hit its target or not. Weapons break in battle, break on jouney, you must know how to repair them within a inch of a second. The greatest warrior is the greatest blacksmith, cobbler, carpenter, mender of all broken things"The trainer, a young knight, walked through the rows of boys, leaning over, examining each one's work. " If you can't repair your weapon, you ar

That night, after a warm bath, I slumped on my bed to sleep only to discover I was laying on flesh. I knew who it was already, Emiliar, she was beaming at me, thought I got scared.~~My love, how long have you been here?~~ I sent to her. It's really been a long time since I used my gifts to speak to anyone except Luna anyway, cause that's the only way I can speak to her afterall."Commander Claudia in a white nightie, How you doing?" She said with all sarcasm in her voice. I bit my lip, a weak chuckle escaped from my lips. " you punk, that isn't funny, not worth a darn clap"" You not hungry? Let's get something to eat."I sent for a maid and in no time our meal was served.After eating, we sat on the cushion to talk. My head on her lap, she was gently stoking my hair. Luna sat on the edge of the chair licking my toes. That girl, I feel guilty sometimes, I barely have time for her nowadays. Life can't be any good without these two by my side." Ho

After training that day, I invited Kabal over to my inner resting room to talk-- I had some questions for him. The little boy I rescued some weeks ago, now looks like a warrior. He's skilled and swift, that piqued my interest and now I'm ready to listen to him."Good day sire" he curtsized "you sent for me""Sit" he sat on a stool a distance away. "Tell me about you---I mean how you got here.""I'm honored sire" he bowed. " i got here as a slave when the demons took over our part of the white coven. They were able to  get break our shield, cause they got the key. Some of us were killed, my uncle, the king and my father was killed. Though, i was still a toddler but my mother told me all i know about that day. We were forced to take the mark sire.""You mean you're a witch" I never expected demons to be so naive... to the extent of harbouring witches, thinking enslaving them would make them quit fighting. Apparently, that has worked but not to all of them
