*Eighteen years later.*Lord Kalta craned his head on feeling the strange whoosh of air. "Who is there?" He barked, rising from his throne-like seat and looking around the room, eager to catch the whiff of the intruder. "For a man who is about to lose his position, you sure do look imposing." A feminine voice, one he had not heard in ages mocked."Show your face, Pandora." He ordered angrily, surprised as to how she had the nerve to pass through the barrier of his world. "Here, I am." She said and appeared before him. She was easily one of the most beautiful women he had ever seen and if he did not like the time of her voice right now towards him, he would have tried to sniff life out of her. "What are you doing here and what nerves do you have to dare pass through my barrier." "I come bearing news, not so good news, by the way, and I am easily one of the strongest beings in the world. I can do what I want. Remember who my brother is, Kalta." She warned with a shake of her finge
Tarada, a death angel who had come to collect dying souls, caught what had just happened. "This can't be happening. No one has the power to bring someone back from the dead." He said in shock, watching as Bethany's soul returned to her. From the shine his soul had, it was certain he had some magic. However, that was not what had surprised him the most, the boy that had exuded this magic looked so much like Lord Adonis.The girl had died and it takes only a much more powerful being to be able to bring one back to life. His master had to hear of this and he could already imagine himself taking up the reward for finding his master's enemy. Immediately, he teleported back to the Palace of Ice and soul to meet lord Kalta panting up and down in the large hall. "What could be so serious to make master pace about and in the open? Well, it is good that I am here to give him good news and cheer him up." Tarada said to himself with a wide grin and made his presence known. "I hail thee, the
"You don't get to tell us what to do." Tarada fired back at him.Adonis could feel a tingling sensation flowing through his hands and without thinking, Adonis stretched forth his hand and shot a fiery blow of fire toward Tarada. Tarada dodged just in time and quelled the fiery ball with a surge of ice from his body. "Weirdly, you use fire to fight, but that is not an issue. I am an equal match for you." Tarada chuckled and threw a block of ice at Adonis dodged it and glared at the men in the room."You men should better leave. My mom and I want nothing to do with you guys and whatever master you serve." Adonis warned while scampering on what to do. "Oh, trust me, boy. You can't run from what you truly are, a death agent, a rare one at that. The faster you agree to come with us, the easier it will be for you and your mom." Tarada winked, noticing the confused look on Adonis' face."None of us is going with you." Audrey fought back and tried to throw a blow at one of the men, but the
Bethany sat on her bed with her open laptop on her thighs. The news of the accident was all over the internet, but despite the rage, she did not care about the accident. All she thought about was Adonis and whatever it was he had done to her. She could still feel it in her body, the magic he had used to heal her. "Or, you could just be making this up, Bethany." She said to herself when she could not imagine herself saying this to her friends or anyone else. No one had seen him or mentioned it, but she had felt his presence and essence on all of her body. "What if you call him and ask him? You may just run mad if you don't find out the truth of what happened." She said to herself as she craved Adonis' voice. When she had stepped onto the bus earlier in the day, she could have sworn that she never wanted anything to do with Adonis ever again, but right now, she was craving his voice.Finally, letting out a groan, she picked up her phone and dialed his number which she had saved in
Kalta's face widened into a grin as he held the potion he had just finished preparing. "Adonis, if you are back to take this throne from me, be certain I won't give it up without a fight. This potion might not be able to stop you completely, but it would inhibit your growing human body." He chuckled darkly. Just then, he heard a knock on his chamber's door.Quickly, he hid the potion in his inner pocket and faced the door. "Come in." He ordered. Tarada stepped into the chambers with his head bowed low."I hail thee, the end of all beginnings," Tarada said, nervous, but certain that his life was going to get spared"Do you have the kid and his mother?" Lord Kalta asked. Tarada shook his head. "Unfortunately, no my Lord…""How dare you? I thought I left clear instructions to you not to come back here if you do not have the boy and his mother in your possession." Kalta yelled in fury. His eyes glowed red and Tarada was visibly shaken, knowing that all it takes is one wrong move for
"I am sorry Mom, but you can not come with me," Adonis replied his mother with a shake of his head. "What do you mean by that? You have never been there. I have to go with you and protect you." Audrey replied, not wanting to have her kid out of her grasp. "Mom, I can take care of myself alright? Moreover, this is dangerous for you. I don't want you to get hurt." "I know that son, but I won't get hurt, I promise. I have you right by my side, trust me, I know so much about that place. You would need me. Allow me to help you, son. I have kept you in the dark for too long." Audrey pleaded, knowing that was probably going to run mad if she didn't stay with Adonis to protect him. Adonis stared at his mother and knew that she was not going to relent. But the Palace of Ice and soul sounded so dangerous and he did not want to increase the stakes against him. "Mom, this sounds very dangerous. You do not have to worry too much. I am a smart kid. I would be able to find my way around. You ha
Adonis' rage was over the roof. He could not believe what he was seeing. He refused to believe that what he was seeing was happening. But the smug look on Kalta's face as he drank from the slow beating heart in his hand told him that this was happening. His mother was dead and Kalta had just killed her. With rage and pain so powerful, he expended so much heat that a lot of the Death Agents around him sizzled out to dust. Bethany stared wide-eyed as the boy she had come to love so much and care about was showing a part of him she had never seen before. She had always known there was something odd and weird about him, but she never would have imagined to see him this powerful. Immediately, she ran behind Kalta's throne, shielding herself from the rage of Adonis' power. Kalta saw the display of power from Adonis and was not perturbed. He knew it was the rage and anger inside of him fueling him in that manner. Adonis was still a kid, and now, with Audrey's heart and blood in his body
As soon as Adonis realized that Kalta's plan had failed, he knew he had to act fast or run the risk of losing his life. He had no idea how that attack on him had gotten destroyed, but this was the wrong time to try and figure it out. Immediately, he gathered his wits formed a ball of his own, and surrounded Kalta with flames. Kalta stared at the flame and tried to quench it with a ball of ice, but was shocked to see that the fire did not budge.Immediately, Tarada and the rest of the Death Agents rushed off to Adonis and made to go to battle with him. "If you take one more step towards me, I would send a deadly blow to your master. If you want him to live, stand back." Adonis ordered. The death agents shared looks amongst themselves and knew that they could not risk having their master die under their watch. Gently and delicately, they stepped back.Adonis saw that as his chance and quickly called out to Bethany. "Bethany, let's get out of here."She quickly ran out of where she
