"Hey Chad," smiling sweetly. "It's been a while. This place hasn't changed.""Y-yeah...with you here makes this place magical," Chad says boldly as he picks up the boxes.I chuckle at his nervousness.Chad never changed with his cheesy words. But then again, he has his way with words. The first time we met, he did things that could be considered too much. Like a free bunk once he saw me. He was flustered and couldn't speak to me. Sometimes, his words were either stuttering or gibberish, and I didn't know what he was saying.It's sweet, but I don't feel the same way he does. By a year, Chad is older than me and has been working here since his dad passed away a year ago. He told me he wanted to be a musician and not take over the family business, but he took it pretty hard since his dad's passing. But meeting me had to lighten up his mood."So, Chad, how's the resort?" I ask him."Well, there is no one around this time, as you can see."I noticed how quiet this place was, and there were
With Jippies teleportation magic, we all arrived where he sensed the monster's energy.I let out a sigh thinking about Michael being left behind. Dominic noticed and went by my side, taking my hand."He will be alright," as if he had read my thoughts. "Malik will make sure the child will be protected."I smile. "I know. However, he and I don't see eye to eye. I will trust him for you. And I know Scylla and Takkar will also keep the baby safe."The forest is quiet, and all you can hear are the crickets cricking and the gust of nightly wind. I feel an evil eerie aura coming from the cave before us."This place is stench with demonic energy," My nose wiggles nose and I can feel the tiny hairs on the back of my neck rise."Princess, we need to destroy the monster before it attacks again," Jippies said, and he snapped his fingers and created a barrier to keep the thing inside. "This wouldn't hold it in, but it will give us time to kill it.""Camila, Kaze, do you think you can handle outsid
The cave is a dark and dreary place where the only sound that can be heard is the drip of water above you, even though there isn't water at this level. The air is thick with humidity, and it isn't easy to breathe if you're a human. Since this group isn't human, we proceed through it. The smell here is intense and mixed with the woody scent and dry. Critters crawl next to my feet as I crush the small rocks. Luckily, we have no worries about the darkness since night vision is advantageous for non-human beings. I wouldn't worry about Camila and Kaze being on the lookout since Jippies created a barrier to keep anyone from entering. But it's strange; since our arrival, I didn't sense any ferals, and they usually are awake once the sun is gone. The stench of the monster's aura is getting stronger every second we go deeper. I can feel the evil and menacing energy as it collides with my own. Hate. Sadness. Anger. Those are the three emotions I'm feeling coming off from the energy. It's so
The Basilisk waved his tail whenever I stood, trying to hit me, but with my speed, I avoided it.His tail every spot inside the cave, causing it to rumble. When he had enough of using his seat, he slithers his tongue out and bare his fangs, then darts his head towards me. His large head crash to the wall of the cave as I jump in time to throw my blade at the nap of his neck."Fuck," I growl as the cut on his neck only scraps him. I couldn't use the magic from the Spirit Realm because whenever I unleashed it, I felt exhausted, and my hand trembled from its massive power.In theory, it's one-time use.My body couldn't handle such powerful magic, and the only way to use it was because I was in dire need. I shouldn't use it for the ferals, but it was an emergency.Time is running out. Dominic, Clayton, and I hit the snake for over thirty minutes. I don't know how long Arlo can last with the venom inside as long the Peach Pill is suppressing it."Master, look out!"Before I could look, the
"A hydra?!" Clayton screeched as the creature before us with three heads roared, causing the earth to shake. "How can a snake turn into a three-monster?""I would like to ask the same thing, but you know, it's a demon. As far as I know, they can create crazy shit like this." Dominic states.I grew up in the mortal world and learned about the Demon Realm and its customs. But what Dominic said was right; demons can create something like a hydra. "I'm sure I broke its pearl; I don't understand how it's still alive?" I questioned myself. I'm sober enough to know that the basilisk's blood pearl has been destroyed. "Oh god! We are going to die." Clayton starts to freak out. "Clay, we are not going to die. Pull yourself together, man." his alpha assured him, being the fearless pack leader he was born to be. And I couldn't be any prouder of him not to lose his cool. "Lippy, do you have a plan for this one?"Looking down, I can feel the power from the Spirit Realm tickles my fingers after i
"Mom?"My eyes couldn't deceive me. When Hexia has me in her grasp, I open my eyes to this place.The last time I was in a subconscious dimension was when Merkon rewrote my life just the way I wanted. If this is another trick, I will not fall for it.The woman stood ten feet from me. Her long wavy silver hair hung loose as she wore a simple white dress and was barefoot. She looks carefree and doesn't bother about being dirty. But given that we are in space, nothing can harm us.Is this Hexia's trick?Does she want to get information by pretending to be my mother, whom she hates?I won't let this happen again."This better not be one of your sick games, Hexia," I cried out, hoping she would answer, but after a few seconds,s nothing.I clench my fist and glare at this woman who resembles my mother but is probably Hexia in disguise as an advantage."Who are you?"The woman pulls on a smile. It's not just a smile; there was gentleness and sadness to that expression.Nope, not going to fal

"No...It can't be..." shaking my head and denying this outcome. "But then, how come you are here? How can I see you? How can you stop Hexia from gaining my pearl?""Before I cast the forbidden spell that destroyed Demir, I left some of my essences to you. I may be gone, but as long a part of me is in you, I can help you until it is time to leave you."I snap my head. "You were that voice. The one that I keep hearing."Mom smiles, admitting it."You've been with me all this time," I inhale sharply. "I thought I was being hysterical and hearing voices, but you are real. Alive! Well, not physically, but here you are."I watch my Mom giggle as I freak out, but I'm glad to see her and not in one of my dreamlands.The ground suddenly shakes, almost causing me to stumble. "What's going on?""We don't have much time," Mom flashes in front of me. "Hexia is using all her magic to break through the barrier I've cast. That bitch is very impatient. I can see why your father finds her annoying.""W
