For almost an hour, I had to rest my head on my office desk as I thought when Hexia gave the message to Demir, his arrival at my home would be unexpected.From what I've learned about him. His body was destroyed, but not his pearl. My Mom took her own life to take down Demir, and the forbidden magic didn't do a thing for him.Mom may have used powerful magic to risk her life, but Dad will not allow her to disappear.I thought hating on my Dad for leaving me would linger inside, but when I asked Saye about my father not wanting to see me, I saw how nervous she was. It turns out she and Arlo knew the truth from me.My Dad told them to keep this a secret from me so I wouldn't be involved in saving my mother. He would rather have his daughter hate him than help him.If I knew then for sure, I would've helped. I don't understand why my Dad wouldn't help save Mom.Now he's risking his own life to bring my mother back from disappearing, and he can't leave her side.I asked Saye where my pare
Demir floated in midair, giving off an intimidating and menacing aura that even I, with two powerful beings running through my blood, couldn't handle.His presence seemed too powerful. It could make me kneel right in front of him.At least he came alone.Suppose he were to bring his elite soldiers. I can't take them on.The gloomy weather and the thunder roaring in the sky make this encounter even more alarming.He was showing off like a true villain.Looking over my shoulders, I could tell my friends struggled to bow before him.Demir is half human and half demon. He should only gain this much power if the person behind his demonic essence is."It seems your servant relayed the message for me," I stood my ground and did not show any weakness against him.After all, Demir looked more demonic than human. Grey color skin, long white hair hung over his chest, red iris over his black sclera, you can see through the hood.He wore a long robe that reached the back of his legs but had an ope
"Lippy, are you okay?" As I trembled, Dominic came to my side and wrapped me against his chest. "Nick...I've seen scarier things, but meeting Demir, I felt weak and hopeless." Even when I cut his arm, Demir didn't seem disappointed. It was like he was only testing my magic on him. To him, with my current state, I'm no match for him. "Shh..." he hugs me tighter. "It's okay to be afraid." I wrap my arms around him and inhale his scent as it helps calm me. "I'm not letting Demir take the child." "I know." "We have to protect Michael," I whisper and clench his shirt given the thought of an innocent child in the hands of his sinister father, who regards him as a tool. "Don't worry. He is safe with us," Dominic says. Demir could have been more enthusiastic about reuniting with his son. He didn't sound like a grieving parent who longs for his child to return. He was looking for a tool. But what could be to make Demir desperate to want the child? "Uh, Lippy." I look up from Dominic
I stirred in my sleep as commotions had me wanting to open my eyes and see what the fuss was about. Slowly raise my eyelids with my vision impaired for a second until I can glimpse a rocky ceiling. A droplet of water touches my cheek and helps me get a clear view of my surroundings. "The Princess is awake!" cries a tiny squeaky voice. "Princess is awake! Hurry, someone, go and let Lord Ruvik know. Hurry!" says another as multiple squeakers enter a frenzy. I rise, using my elbows to push me up to glimpse the tiniest creatures, even shorter than Feno, running all over the place as if there is a fire. Once I raised my head, I caught my head as I felt the pain when you have a hangover and don't drink. My head feels like a balloon, ready to pop any minute. When I straighten my back, I felt a poke in my back, making me inhale sharply at the pain. I reached to rub it, but when I did that, something else poked me, and I was groaning in ache all over my body. "You shouldn't be moving."
I follow Dad down a dim hallway made out of stone walls. Even with the magical ball of light decorated as Christmas lights shine, revealing the sparkling effect of the cave.After Golven checked me up, a demon with healing powers was Dad's royal physician. A man around Dad's age, with dark skin, yellow eyes, and a massive-broad body.At first, I was skeptical that a man was broader than my Dad. Although Golven is an orc, very intimidating and grumpy, he has manners. And he's charming if you ignore the tusk and mean look. He also speaks with an English accent. When I asked Golven if he had ever been to England, Golven told me he studied medicine there for fifty years before continuing his profession in China for another hundred years, studying under a great doctor he admired.This demon spent his days studying medicine in the human world rather than in the Demon Realm.But this teacher he mentioned got me thinking of one.Speaking of Boran, how's he doing? I still need to see him and a
"Again." I fall back to the ground, my chest pumping hard from exhaustion. I trained my magic with Boran but nothing intense when being taught demon magic with my Dad. Boran only trained me some essential healing magic from his hometown and had it easy. Whereas with Dad, after thirty minutes of training, he made me do so many things all at once, and some of his teachings were something I never knew existed. Is this how demons are trained? "Again, Lippy." I raised my hand. "Give me a minute." "It's only half an hour, and already worn out. You aren't building much stamina," Dad says as he scolds. "I defeat a psycho she-wolf and narcissistic demons. I have stamina." I told my Dad everything about me. I told him how I found Saye and Arlo locked up by some priest and told him about being a guardian of a werejaguar, a dire wolf, and a teenage ogre. I even told him about my life in the Blue Moon pack, the good times, not the bad ones. I don't want him to head over there and destroy t
I trained hard, more challenging than I had ever before.Boran's training method is different than my dad's. He wasn't strict or aggressive with us, but he was patient.Whereas my dad, I trained non-stop with him, finding weaknesses and building up my magic to create a more substantial attack move. I even do endurance to give me the adrenaline and speed to catch up with Dad.Dad is much stronger and faster than I am. I could only keep up with him sometimes, eventually failing to take him down. Dad's methods are exhausting.It's been a few days since I came to this cave. I trained, studied about demons, their laws, and my lineage, spent time with my parents, and got to know the fairies here as they taught me a little bit of their magic. I learned that they associate themselves with the Fae Queen, Bisera. When I told them I was friends with her, they all cheered with joy.I got to live a peaceful life with my parents and these creatures here, but in my heart, I miss my friends, the farm
"Can you locate them, Chief Hamrock?""Be patient, Princess. We fairies are connected to nature. It shouldn't take long," the long white beard mushroom fairy assured me.I still need to get more comfortable with that title. I told them to call me by my name, but they said its rude. So, I let it slide since they are cute.Earlier, when I asked him to open the barrier, he immediately complied and started to use his magic to connect outside the barrier with nature."Ah, it seems they aren't that far. The large wolf is on to your scent."I gasped. "Must be Kaze. I can't believe that we are this close.""The trees are telling me that a werewolf has anxiety." Hamrock describe. "He's going a rampaged.""Oh, Nick."I understand the feeling of being separated for days. Even though we have not sealed the mating bond, that anxiety is still in effect.For days I felt that, and I had to fight the urge to go out because Dad forbade me. We were in the process of training me. After Demir defeated me,
