After Marcus left, Aleric gathered his lover and they all felt sad because goodbye isn't such an easy thing to say. "Don't be sad, I would be back sooner than you know it." Aleric tried convincing them. He has seen the progress they have made, and the connections Hanna has made. Aleric made a mental note to meet Kiwi and know if he would add him to his legion. Though creating a legion was something Aleric thought of in the spur of a moment, now he wants it to grow and be the first line of defense for Jusavia."In less than a year, I would be 18th, all of us would be." Bella stated."Sure, I will be there to complete my end of the deal." Aleric would greatly miss them, more they can even think of but he needed to leave. He didn't even ask about the preparation for the war because he didn't need much pressure on himself. He just hopes the humans are doing everything they can."Alright, we have to go now." Tatia has always been the one to take on the elder sister position and make the r

The shadow people were surprised when they heard the name. Talia was one of them that was sent out to find a way to bring Salvation to them. After eons of being shrouded in darkness, they prayed and begged the asura to please let someone among them go into the world. They believe that a miracle would happen and the person would be able to find a way to rescue them from their prison. The asura granted their request not because he wanted them to be free, but because he knew they would never be free. "What of Talia?" A woman stepped forward and asked. She had a look of expectancy and it made Aleric know, without a doubt that she is Talia's mother."She..." Aleric couldn't find it in himself to lie to the woman and he still couldn't tell her the trust. Most people always say that a lie kills but that's a lie, what kills is the brutality of the truth. "She...." The world was too heavy for him."She is dead." The woman said it herself and Aleric could only nod. The news not only saddened t

"You mean Draco?" "Yes, that is the price I want in exchange." Bezel said with a smug expression."Draco is not for exchange, he is a man of his own. My decision doesn't matter much in his life.""But that is a lie, you have the right to leave him with me, all you have to do is say the word." Bezel can already think of a million ways he could entertain himself using Draco. Imagine the joy of having the last of its kind, a creature so powerful that the Asuras were even cautious of them."Find something else." Aleric pleaded."No, I have my mind made up. I will not be so wicked, I will leave you to think things through, to know if they are worth one dragon soul." Bezel stood up to leave but stop to make one last statement. "Of course, this is only for my entertainment, I can choose to ignore the entertainment and leave you here for eternity." He smirked before leaving.Aleric sighed and felt powerless for Bezel is right. He has no hope of defeating Bezel, so his only option is to dance

"I have an idea." Aleric said with much enthusiasm."We are all ears.""When I sired Talia, it was by tasting her blood and she tasted mine too.""You don't need to taste our blood to sire us, we are the one that needs to taste your blood. I think Talia did that in order to feel closer to you.""Oh," Aleric didn't dare tell Hendrix the kiss that happened that day. "That is great, how about we all take my blood at once, in that way Bezel wouldn't be able to do anything.""He would still come down and kill you off immediately, or imprison you forever.""That is why I won't be here by the time you do it." Aleric replied Hendrix. "That could work." Draco understood what Aleric was talking about. Aleric plans to teleport away the moment Draco finds the binding, but he would leave his blood for them to take and be sired to him. And once that sire bond is created, he can call them from anywhere in the world. The two explained it to Hendrix and he also felt it was a beautiful idea."So, the

Aleric marked the spot before leaving with Draco. The two knew they have limited time so they had to be fast with whatever they are doing. Aleric was already afraid that the war must have long begun. He has no means to reach his loved ones since the bracelet is not working."If my suspicion is right, Bezel wouldn't be coming back soon since he went to soak himself in a debaucherous act." Aleric said to Draco."So it's time to gather the people and tell them all we want to tell them.""No, that would be dangerous, imagine if he comes down while we all gathered. I think it's best we pass the information from person to person, and there is a risk involved.""What risk?""We don't know if they would accept to sired to me, they might see it as just switching masters. There is no guarantee that I would be a better master than the one they have.""But you are.""They don't know that.""We are willing to try it out?" They turned to see Hendrix and Penelope behind them. The girl couldn't look
