Outside the witch and the wizard’s shop is Miranda looking side to side. She’s been doing doing that for couple of times now, hoping for Mizuko to show up and get home any moment now before it’s dark. Miranda is restless. Lately, Mizuko has been spending her time learning magic in the academy and training with Hannock. She knows what that will bring them, she knows the good days are ending. In three days, Yami will lose its crown prince, he will wander in his sleep and when he wakes, that smile will soon be visible again.  Losing all hope as the sky painted black, Miranda let out a heavy sigh, looking up and sniffling from the cold. She bit her lower lip and rubbed her arms with her hands. What is Mizuko doing? It’s getting late. “Miranda, get back inside! The young lady will be home if she wants to come home!” Master Kaja told her.

Hannock's evil laughter filled the beautiful night and it started ringing into Mizuko's ear. Her wide eyes darted at demon she shot and the man beside him, calling his name, Zhemier. Pixie had called Kenshi that name before.  Everything was in slow motion, even the way she blinked and her tears falling down. She ran towards Kenshi but her feet were suddenly heavy, taking her some time to even take a step. What's happening to her?  "Mizuko, run away!" When she heard those words, she stopped running halfway towards them. Hannock took the chance to raised his sword and swing it across, cutting through the other demon who knew her.  Who is he? Why does he know her?  The moment Hannock was about to wield his sword ag

The night has come for Hannock to give orders about attacking the lovely village his niece and nephew built. There's no stopping him now and although he knows it resides within Yami, he does not care. What does the King of Yami have? His demon knights? Well Hannock has got devils that are starving for more bloodshed.  "Tonight we attack my sister's precious little village!" Hannock announced to his new subjects. "Execute everyone you see!" The devils shouted their excitement, raising their big axes made of wood and stone stringed together and their machetes. Each of their mouth plasters a big grin.  “Should we leave Kozuko and Mizuko out of it, our King?” Agars had ask him. The other demons had gone silent, waiting for his reply.  “I am awar

The people in that cave village has been evacuated in the inner part of Yami. Morning came but Miranda still hasn’t heard from Mizuko and the others who fought that night. She was losing all hope when some villager shouted, pointing at somewhere.  When Miranda saw Mizuko and Kozuko, she quickly run and hugged them both. “I thought I lost you both!” she cries, kissing Mizuko’s cheek and then to Kozuko.  “I promise we’d be back,” Mizuko said, a smile plastered on her face.  “Blue!” They glance at Keisuke’s way who just arrived from the Kingdom. When he saw Blue, he immediately hugged her, not minding Yushiro. “Are you hurt somewhere? I brought her highness with me.” When Mizuko saw Pixie fo

"His puzzle piece!" Mizuko screams, stomping her foot on the ground, her lips trembling in her anger. How could Kenshi do that? How could he look for another lady's name? And calling her his puzzle piece? Mizuko screams once again. "I want him dead again!"  "Calm down, Mizu! He might hear you." Blue told her with a chuckle. "He came back to you. Doesn't that mean anything? Of all people, it was you!" "It was me but he doesn't recognize me! And then I promised him I'd come with him to their castle so he'd leave me alone!" Mizuko sighs heavily. "And the way he spoke is so different from before. He's like a city guy." "Keisuke hasn't said anything about his highness in a while. He often dismiss the topic." "You and Keisuke." Mizuko raised an eyebrow, her hands on her hips, looking all mighty at Blue. "Are you two together?" "No! We are
