Skylar looked at Daegan and her father repeatedly, it was obvious that something wasn't right as the atmosphere was very tense, all the guards looked very scared as well, Daegan was the only one who appeared calm "Is something wrong?" she asked, noticing her father's annoyed expression, Daegan chuckled then replied, "no my dear, your father was just a bit worried about your safety, but I assured him that you're going to be in good hands, so he has nothing to be afraid of, isn't that right your majesty?" he turned to Bakarel with a sarcastic smile on his face, Bakarel was just fuming and cursing under his breath but didn't say anything, it was very clear that he was angry about something which made Skylar nervous. Daegan stood up from his seat and walked towards her "Skylar, your father and I had a discussion about your future and duty to humanity as our current bearer of light, I hope these terms aren't unfamiliar to you?" "No...no sir...I've heard about it already...I read many boo

Hector's POV: "Eighteen years, it's been eighteen long years since I left that hell of a place for good, how time flies, I could hardly notice it though, been too busy doing my thing, living my life. I never thought any of them would find me, I guess I've been taking too many jobs lately, I guess..."Guardian society Intern base, 18 years ago: I still remember the good old days, I and Rodric used to sit on the swing in our camp and talk a lot, talk about everything and anything. We were just 21, but we were already some of the most powerful members of the Guardian society, many of our colleagues and seniors predicted that we might even become sentinels before we hit thirty, and they weren't wrong after all, well I mean they weren't supposed to be... Rodric has changed a lot, he used to be so tall and skinny back then, it really didn't affect his strength though, I'm just glad he's put on some weight, his long purple hair today was short and ruffled back then, I always took good car

Starfall City, the next morning: Hector laid with Belzara on his king sized bed in his fancy mansion bedroom, the sun had already risen but the room was still quite dark as tall decorated curtains covered all the windows. He gazed at the ceiling, very deep in his thoughts, and stroked Belzara's hair as she rested her head on his chest, clutching him with her arms as well and both of them were covered with a duvet, she was still asleep while Hector was wide awake. Hector couldn't stop thinking about his encounter with Rodric last night, this was the first time since his 'awakening' that he actually started to feel like he probably shouldn't have left the guardian society, Rodric has gotten much stronger than him now, most likely due to the fact that he had been hunting powerful devils the whole time and adapting to the conditions while Hector himself was just going around killing regular humans for huge bounties, he had built a fortune from his new profession though but he didn't fee

Valdrik and Zaltar; black night number six, stood on the roof of a guest house in the resort, it was almost five o clock in the morning and the sun would be up in an hour, but they had to take this chance of theirs, they had come to abduct Princess Skylar and were well prepared for the operation After Zaltar's extremely lucky escape from Malachar's annihilation of the black nights, he knew he had to do something to ensure that Malachar still felt he was useful to him, Bane had saved his life that day in the throne room by managing to convince Malachar to spare the remaining black nights and Zaltar knew he had to prove his worth to Malachar after that. He decided to team up with Valdrik in this quest to capture the light bearer and bring her to Malachar, Valdrik on the other hand was very pleased that he had managed to find Skylar before Belzara did, and when he eventually got her and handed her over to his father, Belzara would be put to death just like they agreed, and his revenge w

"Dark magic arts; cold blood assassination" Zaltar joined his hands together and formed the shape of a gun, his grey blood droplets that filled the air all joined together and shot at Tywin in a high pressure laser stream "Shit!!" Tywin exclaimed and used his flame sword to block the blood laser, it scattered into droplets again, "ASTRID!!, ERIK!!, protect Skylar!!, I'll hold him off!!" "Not today" Zaltar responded, he dashed towards Tywin and used his metal blood to form two daggers "Fire hex arts: Flame projection!!"Tywin sent a wave of fire towards Zaltar which he casually dodged by spinning over it, he shot his laser again, but not at Tywin this time, it went straight to Skylar's face and was too fast for her to react. Erik jumped in and shielded her, using his metal coated arms to block, Tywin slashed at Zaltar multiple times but he blocked all the strikes with his fists much to the surprise of Tywin, he had used his blood to fortify his arms, almost the same way Erik uses hi
