Ducan's p.o.vI sat on the bed with Eleanor in my arms.When the whole palace began to shake, she quickly moved on my lap in fear. I felt very calm because I knew it was either Iris or Ose who was making it do that. It rarely happened but whenever they couldn't control themselves they tended to lose control over their powers or forms. Ose turned into his gigantic python form while Iris's three forms were revealed."Is it over?" She asked in a low tone."Yes, I'm sure the ancient witch has returned," I answered with a smile."Are you serious?" She asked loudly."Of course, if it's not her then someone must have pissed off Ose badly," I answered."If it's the ancient witch then she must have managed to retrieve the holy sword." She said then quickly stood up."Can we go and see her, she might be injured?" She asked in concern.I was positive that she was very much okay because there was no way she would use her powers if she was injured. But then I too was curious to know how her trip w
Zara's p.o.v"Take me to my sister, please," I begged the demon fairies."No." They answered together.They sat on the sofa with Victor between them. I didn't understand how he could be so comfortable around them when all they were doing was staring at him."Victor, may I have a word with you?" I asked softly.He looked at me for a second then averted his eyes."Please," I whispered.He looked at me seriously and then stood up."He can't be trusted." One of the demon fairies said in a low tone."I know Arch, but I can tell when he's being sincere or not." He answered and then walked past me.I stood up and followed him into the pool room."What do you want Zara?" He asked coldly.I went down on my knees and waited for him to turn and look at me."Why aren't you answering me?" He asked loudly then turned and faced me."What are you doing!" He exclaimed."Kneeling," I answered calmly."I can see that. But why?" He asked."Because I want to beg for your forgiveness. I seriously do have f
Bright's p.o.vI raised my hands in surrender whenConner raised his sword to my throat."I surrender," I whispered Softly."I figured." He answered with pride.Thinking back to how we came here made me want to whine.It was very late at night yet the camp was so noisy because it was Wednesday.Conner was struggling to sleep, and I too was getting annoyed at the loud screams and moans coming from both the women and the warriors being intimate. It was also becoming awkward for the three of us who lay in our tent just listening.When an idea popped into my mind I quickly sat upright and asked him to go out with me to train for a bit.At first, he was about to refuse but later changed his mind and grabbed his sword and another wooden sword for me.We carefully sneaked out of the camp and went to the back alley of some buildings which he was certain no one used at night because they were scared of the stories they had heard about the placeThe moon was brightly shining, and we could see m
Edith's p.o.vI stood watching my Mistress as she sat where a circle and a pentagram was drawn on the ground. On each end of the pentagram was a lit candle. Her legs were crossed, and the holy sword was floating right in front of her. Below it was the ancient dark book of spells and magic.Her form was one which I wasn't comfortable with, the faceless form.She was sweating, and she looked tired, yet she couldn't stop to eat or rest.Dark energy was coming from the book and entering the sword. The first few hours she had to change into her second form and ask me to bring a bow of animal blood which I complied with, then she asked me to leave the room which I did. But after hours I decided to return because I was concerned about her well-being.The door was locked from the inside and a barrier was put up that only the demon king, the queen and I could penetrate.She wanted no one to disturb her and I too would have been among them if not that she needed me to help out with some of her
Oni's p.o.v I watched in shock as Clair threw her sword at Eleanor who was running towards her. I was about to run to her side but stopped when Eleanor went down on her knees sliding forward and getting on her feet in a second with her sword pressed on Clair's shoulder. The whole training field went quiet and the only thing we could hear was our loud breathing. I couldn't understand how a friendly fight between them could quickly turn serious. Were they fighting or was one of them angry at the other?. I frowned, feeling confused when Clair smiled widely at her. "You are perfect, my queen. How the hell have you improved so much in just a few weeks?" She asked loudly. "I have two great teachers," Eleanor answered, then lowered her sword. "You mean someone is training you besides Oni?" She asked loudly. I, too, was interested to know exactly who it was. "I was just messing with you. I only have one teacher, besides him, I have this great sword that Ducan had given me." She answ
Ducan's p.o.v I was woken up by a loud ringing sound in my ear. I slowly sat upright on the bed and looked at Eleanor who was still asleep. Not only was I uncomfortable I felt uneasy. I groaned softly then slowly moved to the edge and got up. "What is it?" I asked huskily knowing that the ringing I had heard was a secret calling from the ancient witch. "The holy sword." Her response came. "I'll be there in a minute," I answered calmly. I was about to move when I heard Eleanor yawn. "Ducan." She called softly. I turned and looked at her. She was rubbing her eyes while moving to sit upright. "Who were you talking to?" She asked in a low tone. "Iris, she wants to have a word with me about the holy sword," I answered honestly. "Can I come along?" She asked. "I think it's urgent, and you have just woken up so...." "Please." She whispered, cutting me off. "Fine," I answered feeling defeated. There was no refusing her when she said please in such a tone. She moved from the be
Eleanor's p.o.v"Here," Ducan whispered while he handed me a cup of warm milk."Thank you," I whispered in a cracked voice then got the cup from his hand.I had a lot of thoughts running through my mind on the bed that I sat on and Ducan too looked like he had a lot going through his mind.The place below my eyes was throbbing, and my throat was hurting badly. This was the first time that I had cried so much for hours without stopping.I felt so terrified at the thought of losing my husband. He was going to war in his bad condition and there was no way I could stop him.The other disadvantage we had was that, if he wasn't going to stand for his people then a lot of them were going to die.I took a sip from the cup and moved it from my lips."My heart, how are you feeling?" He asked softly.I looked at him sadly then forced a smile on my face as tears formed in my eyes."I'm better," I answered and quickly took another sip from my cup.He moved his hand to my back gently rubbing there
Zara's p.o.v"Is it still okay for me to spend a night here?" I asked Victor seriously.He looked at me and then nodded.Ever since Iris locked the door, I couldn't go in or open it, that's why I went back to the demon fairies and asked them to take me in for a day or two. At first, they hesitated but later on gave in when Victor talked to them.For the past few days, I dearly missed Iris and at night I did my best to train with Oni to keep my mind off of her.I sighed loudly then leaned against the sofa."What's wrong with you?" Victor asked."Nothing," I answered without looking at him."It can't be, nothing when you have been sighing for quite some time now, this is the seventh time." He pointed out."I'm exhausted from night training." I lied."You can't be serious, you only began training recently." He said loudly.I looked at him and then sat upright."I miss her," I answered in a low tone."You mean your witch lover?" He asked."Yes," I answered sadly."I'm sure she does too."
