Joe's POVDemon and Human SummitDietri teleported us into the building. It was futuristic- the design,and even the soldiers were holding guns that looked like they packed a punch. We pressed ourselves behind a corner down the corridor.Dietri drew her bow. "Who are these guys?", I asked."Demon Hunters. Stay behind me", she said. We heard a warcry from above us . We looked up from opposite where hid. There was Eida, running from the guards with someone. Dietri fired,effectively taking one of them down. I couldn't do anything, so I could hope that she could escape safely.Dietri forced me down, a split second before bullets hit. The downpour stopped after a few seconds. Suddenly, I felt a psychic interference."Eida", I whispered. I threw Dietri's hands away and stood up. Eida had been shot and the bullet blasted her and whomever she was running with. They both came falling down. I felt something flow in me and took a leap.Dietri followed too,going for the fugitive. I caught Eida by t

Narrator's Pov Burangar, The Woods"You got rejected by your ex", Eitri gasped. "No. You're like a thousand years old. You're supposed to know how to put words less hurtful", Joe sighed."I've never had a boyfriend", she confessed. "Demon. And everything. But Master Damien's single"."I would never . He's so perfect"."What?". He looked at her, shocked. She looked at him.What was perfect about Master Damien He couldn't fathom. All Master Damien did with his life was to read Cursed Techniques and release sarcasm on innocent students like him.Eitri adjusted the arrow and drew the arrow even harder ."So you've never been in love?", he asked her."She readjusted the arrow again. "Once. But he got his head off in front of me"."Oh I'm sorry", Joe said."Sorry? Don't be. He was a gladiator in the otherworld"."Otherworld.What's it like over there?",he asked."Total darkness. Where the most powerful and ancient demons live".She withdrew her arrow."He was a gentle warrior. Slim. Tall"

Joe's PoVI shook in my sleep. My spirit shot out of my body. I tried to get back into it, but i kept felling out. "Can't sleep?", Master Damien asked.I went over to where he sat on a rock,reading a book."Why are we here?""Your training"."You knew that I didn't leave. And you didn't chase me away"."Dietri. She might be weak when it comes to power levels, but she's got a good eye. It's why I made her head of the academy", he replied. "And Eida has a soft spot for you", he added I kept quiet. There were people in the world who cared about me. Wanted the best for me. Loved me. 'Why didn't I cross paths with them sooner?', I thought."I've never seen her show affection for anyone, not in the last century. Her clan got wiped out"."Wiped out?""By Demon Hunters. Her brother was the leader ,then he got beheaded. She had to lead them. She couldn't have known that they had a traitor who wanted his own clan wiped out so bad he sold them out"."He's a monster", I said. "He was her betro

Emily's POVCountrysideWe walked down the road. "I'm supposed to be at break", Jordan complained. He held up a mystical fang-shaped artifact suspended from a rope. He entered into the bushes."What's that thing anyway?", I asked."Animal totem. All you have to do is to think about the creature, and the totem would lead you to it"."It's a she", I said angrily."Woah. I'm sorry", he apologised."Why does it have to be you who has to think of Sly?", Aubrey said jealously."Because I'm the only one with any magical ability. And now, great I've lost her".We stood, in the middle of nowhere. Aubrey had sat on the floor and Jordan was marking symbols into the ground.I looked at them. They weren't worried as much as I am. I was an idiot. Sly should have been my priority."Give me the totem", I asked."It's not going to work..".I grabbed it from his hands, and wore it on my neck like a necklace.I suddenly felt my sense of smell growing stronger. I nearly puked- my sense if smell had incr

Joe's POV The City, in a storeI remember telling myself not to spend too much. Turns out I never follow any of my personal rules.I got a new haircut , three new suits and a shoe. 'Wasn't too much', I told myself. I was going to be the new HRM in a few hours. The hope I gave myself.I headed out of the store, the late night cool breeze giving me a rejuvenating feeling. I looked across the street. Couples held themselves close to each other. I shook my head. Could have been me and Emily. But we just had to go out separate ways. I remembered my dream and hoped after she married, she had left the City. I didn't want to meet with her anymore. Might help me move on.I took a corner. My house was just up ahead.I entered the house. I remember switching off the lights of the sitting room but now they were on. Did I? I switched them off and went to my bedroom. I lay on my bed, putting my shopping on the ground below me.A scent wafted through my dark room. 'What smelt so good?', I thought.
