AlexisLast night was truly the saddest for me. I poured out my heart in front of my Aunt, telling her what it felt like to be rejected. She didn't comment but listened and I don't remember when I fell asleep while complaining to her.The next morning, I woke up on time and went downstairs only to be welcomed by a delicious aroma of beaten coffee. I don't remember the last time I had coffee. Along with pancakes on the platter, a smile erupted on my lips. My aunt never failed to amuse me."Aunt Sol, why did you make all this? You must be tired because i disturbed your sleep too." I asked her."You are my child, Alexis and it is my duty to serve you when you need me." She said without making any eye contact and flipped another pancake on the platter."Now, let's eat first…" she smiled and joined me on the table.Although I regularly ate my breakfast at castle premises, I missed my aunt's cooking. It didn't matter what she cooked but everything was delicious. I had filled my stomach afte
AlexisI was getting ready in the room when Aunt Sol ran into my room with an old wooden trunk. That shit looked rusted but she kept it, maybe it was precious."What is that?" I asked her."A trunk full of weapons to kill demons." She responded while unlocking the padlock on the trunk."Are you serious? You had weapons to kill demons and i had no fucking idea about?" I was furious and curious to know about the hidden weapon."First of all, mind your language young lady, secondly, I never thought I would open this trunk again. And third, how do you think I have protected you way back there? This was the answer. Now, check them out." She pointed at the weapons.I glanced at them and there were different kinds of weapons stored in that trunk. There were daggers, foldable knives, belts, balls and the rest of them were awkward shaped weapons."Which one should I pick?" I asked her."Anything that you find easy to use. I will be taking the rest of them according to my choice." She replied w
StefanShe left for good but I left for bad. Joined hands with my father in a murder of humanity, my mother won't forgive me for this sin. Even the blood that would stain my hands won't wash off with water. I closed my eyes and looked for the courage I needed to stand against my father. I wished I had one solid clue that could affect his whole plan, I would have done that.He was clever and kept his eyes on me, and he must be looking for an opportunity where I would be vulnerable and agree to accept defeat. I was sure of the fact that he doesn't trust me either. I have seen his eyes and they had only hatred and revenge. I'm them. He tried to make me into a killing machine in his plan but that never worked, glad that I was still blessed with my mother's care. She still protected me when she wasn't even here.Lost Grandma and it was devastating. I missed her every damn day and yet I can't let that frustration out to feel lighter. And there was no clue of Elsa. Where she was, where did h
Alexis (in flashback pov)The chimes made the melodies and the breezes felt fresh, as we ran into the valley of roses, that fragrance reminded me that I was blessed to be here and serve my duty to my savior, the Godfather.Since the day I came here, my life has changed entirely. I met many angels and learned so many new things about them every day, that was my desire to become an angel warrior. I learned through many struggles, failure and self doubts but today, i stand in front of the village as one of the warriors. That respect they offered was everything I wanted."Finally, your dream came true…" Azeal told me."Indeed, brother. And it wouldn't be possible without you. I might have given up earlier in the journey but you never let us down." I smiled at her when we passed through the old town road where the villagers showered flowers on us."You know what, today, as we borned again, our new journey has started. We will get missions to accomplish and we might need to go to mortal la
Alexis (in flashback pov)After confronting Nate and a brawl between Azeal And him, Azeal dragged me out of his house and took me back to the sacred temple. On the way, he didn't utter a single word. He was depressed because he saw how Nate treated me. Of course, it wasn't the first time but I knew Nate wasn't a bad person at all. He was just hurted because he wasn't chosen among five. He had worked hard to become one and when he was an inch close to his dream, it shattered in a second."The celebration is going on, I want you to be here. If you went to check upon that bastard, I swear I will not tolerate it." He said with a low and whispered time but I knew he wasn't just saying. He meant it."But…" I tried to reason with him but he glared furiously at me.I understood his concern and I stayed silent. We went inside the temple where the celebration was going on. Most of the villagers and warriors were having a good feast after a long time. It was a great moment but I wasn't feeling h
Alexis (in flashback pov)I was in the house, packing my weapons and stuff when Azeal arrived and knocked on the door."Azeal, i am ready…""Why did you confront the Godfather about him? Didn't I warn you last night?" He was mad at me."Azeal, I didn't confront him. Infact, Nate went to meet him in the morning. I went to see godfather in his room and found him yelling at Nate. He demanded to be in the team. After many refusals, the Godfather decided to give him one chance to prove himself. I swear I didn't ask anything from him." I explained to him."Fine but that bastard is in my team. I know he is the source of trouble but our mission is our priority. I am here to tell you that you should prioritize your duty and your mission above anything. Understood. And I am telling you this as a leader, not as a brother." He sounded serious."Understood…" I smiled and went along with him to the meeting point.All of them were present except Nate. We waited for him for a while and then he arrive
Alexis (in flashback pov)The rain started and the black clouds flashed when the thunderbolts roared. Her pale face appeared ghostly and I could tell that she had less time than I expected."If you were that important to him, that i needed to ask him, he would have already told us about you. Please, stop making such baseless assumptions and talk like a real whole person." I started while looking into her eyes that held so much pain on them. That woman had suffered in her life. She was hopeless and there was no future for her. I felt bad but still, I couldn't melt over a poor woman because she was on demon's territory."I was one of the protectors, and sent to the land of mortals for a mission. But I fell for a demon and ruined things for everyone. I was banished from the angel realm and never found peace here too." She cried."I married the demon king but I was unaware of his intention and fell in his trap. Now that I am bound to serve him till the day I die, I want you to kill me an
Alexis (in flashback pov)There was no time to bury Gaia's body so I had to burn it because the demons might feed on it. Raquel was devastated and angered, he has already made his allegations against Nate. Although, I knew he wasn't lying but part of me wanted it to be a hoax. Nate is my lover and he will never do such a thing. And hey would he do it? This mission was everything he wanted to prove his point. And it still makes no sense why he would kill Gaia. They never spoke to each other before, hardly a casual talk. But I can't share my feelings because I love him. And that's when Azeal's words reconcile, does he love me? Of course, he loved me. Otherwise why did he keep this relationship this long? Part of me wanted it to be a lie when he would get exposed. I was afraid how I would cope once he was found guilty.On the way, we killed many demons but failed to locate the laboratory. Raquel refused to leave my side when I asked him to split because he was afraid that I would get as
