Celestials and a Demon prince Chapter 1: In The Woods
Weak, scared and lost. Gracing the ground with her harmless feet. The careful steps of an inexperienced wanderer fleeing from her captors. The sun burned hot on her skin as she tiptoed on her escape careful not to make a noise that would give up her position to her enemy. Her long silver like hair dressed her bare back which was exposed from the ripped dress she wore. Her heart raced in fear and jumped at each slightest noise. She was terrified to death of her fate if she was ever caught by the cave witches. She moved in no specific direction but hopefully to find a way out or at least get rescued.The leafs rustled as she walked through the strands of shrubs, she gently pulled them away, paving passage for her to walk through. She wasn't used to this, her feet hurt badly and the were reddened from the long walk and rough surfaces to which she had to step upon in the cause of her flight.Her breath broke into sharp cuts, she panicked, confused on what to do. Hope seemed far off and he
Celestials and a Demon prince Chapter 2: The Spell
CHAPTER 2With a teary eye, Queen Audre sat on a stool beside princess Elnora's bed as she watched her, still enslaved in the witch's spell. She had not blinked an eye open for once in days and it broke her heart knowing that they were yet to find a solution. While In the throne hall, The King sat on his throne in despair refusing to eat or hold any council meeting. The officials were getting worried and requested to meet with the king but he refused commanding that no visitor be permitted to see him. He had confined himself for days soaking in sorrow and thinking endlessly of no solution.Elnora had the largest part of the King's heart, not even the Queen had that much importance. His son prince Edgar, never received affection from him, he was trained to be a warrior, to be the best in the kingdom, having the best tutor from tender.

Celestials and a Demon prince Chapter 3: Demon Flaming Eyes
In a tavern, drunken noise of men and their careless laughter fill the air. Some bellied men share a table and make the most chattering sounds but are mostly ignored by every other person who were also in the moment in their own special ways. They toasting, with liquor splashing from the agressive cheering of drinks, makes the place a lot messy.The door to the tarvern opens sharply grabbing the attention of everyone, with some spilling their drinks, their faces coated with fear at the sight of the soldiers and then awe as prince Edgar emerged from within them. Not everyone had seen the prince before and the few that got the chance whenever he returned victoriously from war could tell of his beauty. Those few lived in the capital city and here, he was miles away from the castle, obtaining the permission of the King to search for someone he knew could help.The men adjusted giving them a lot more passage than they needed, none wanted to get in their way, and they really drunk ones were
Celestials and a Demon prince Chapter 4: Not Human?
"You were not planning on escaping as a way of appreciation." He said sheathing his sword. His glare dissapeared as well and he wore a more friendly countenance. Edgar sighed feeling relieved, even though this man had rescued him, he didn't know his intentions for it. "My name is Earl and you are... Prince?" Earl asked with an ingenuine smile on his face, he stretches out his hands towards Edgar for a handshake."Prince Edgar." Edgar answered calmly unsure of shaking him, he only exchanged hands with people of high status and never a commoner. Still this man he thought, was no odinary man he knew what he saw and it was real. After a long consideration he stretched out his hands to accept the handshake but was met with a heavy slap on his hand pushing it aside. Earl looked at him unapologetic, and no hint of respect for his status. He was shocked, no man would ever disrespect him, he could have him killed but there was something different about this man, he seemed fierce and fearless a
Celestials and a Demon prince Chapter 5: Sacred Water
CHAPTER 5Edgar stood stunned at his words, he wondered what being could not be killed even the witches could be burned to their death, then he realized why Earl did not hide who he was because he knew he could not be killed. The witches knew better than to tell except they had intentions of killing him. At least he was safe with this man."Who are you?" Edger asked as he walked behind Earl who was on the move."You should read a lot more Prince Edgar your history must have mentioned my kind," he paused. "They did not scrap my kind off your history?" He asked genuinely concerned."What does it matter? There are many creatures in our history.""With what you saw at the battlefield you should have an idea." He looked at Edgar's eyes searching for answers. His eyes were intimidating and Edgar understood why he dared to look him in the eyes, he could not complain either way. "I have heard of beings with similar descriptions but they do not exist. It is just a fairytale."Earl chuckled expe
Celestials and a Demon prince Chapter 6: Ritual
CHAPTER 6Inside a cave, the place is illuminated with torches placed on the walls of the cave, a small population of women are seen on red robes, they stand in circle around a blood bath, they appear to be making some enchantation, their hands weaved in each other connecting one to another. The leaping step of a woman on greyish looking robe is heard as she drags one foot while hopping on the other. She peels off the almost extinct flesh on her knuckles as she scratches it. Two ladies on black robes walk slowly behind her till she stands right in front of the circle. A hum begins amongst the sisters led by one of them, the rest follows immediately humming in a ritual manner. A tiny cage is slowly let down from it's suspended height with a young lady in it. The lady seems still and spelled. The lady on grey slowly drops her veil to reveal her almost rotten face, she smiles revealing greenish looking teeth with spaces in between them seeing the young lady step out of the cage walking t
Celestials and a Demon prince Chapter 7: Compeller
The guards led her through the long corridor till they got to the cell's entrance, she had stopped struggling and only followed them sheepishly with a glare on her face, the huge door that lead to the cell gradually opened with two guards controlling it, they led her slowly down the slant stairs, it was quite dark and few lamps illuminated the place. The walls had carvings that spoke violent descriptions in them, she could decipher the meanings of the carvings and they were stories of heinous punishments for crimes commited by perpetrators. She knew all this especially when witches were major victims of it. They finally got to the last step and from there began the numbers of cells which were mostly empty but the horrific sights of weapons she saw inside these cells got her heart racing, right there she understood it was no ordinary cell and it was meant for a special purpose, yes for people like her. The emptiness confirmed the king's victory over her kind, she was probably the first
Celestials and a Demon prince Chapter 8: Stake
A sleek and sweat creamed arm stretches to a length, a bow string with an arrow pointed sharply on it's steel end. The target, a wooden board is a reasonable distance from the prince who wields the bow, his gaze layed focused on the bulls eye as he prepared his arms for a release. He paused for some seconds before releasing a weak throw that only landed distance away from him. The arena was quiet as the guards who were previously training on the training ground watched the prince confused at his act, he had a lot going on in his mind, he also seemed to be the only sane person in the royal family at the moment, King Egbert had been swimming in fury all the while, Queen Audrey drowning in her own tears and the princess slept like there was no waking for her but even more he was weakened at his father's hasty and unthoughtful decision. The king had ordered that the stakes be prepared before noon day and ordered the execution of the prisoner whom he pronounced as an imposter. However, lo

Chapter 48: The thing on the wall
She was frightened at first by the sudden appearance of the ancient demon but the moment she saw his wound that wasn't healing she sighed out her fear. A glint of curiosity sparkled in her eyes as she fixated her gaze on his injury. She figured that it had everything to do with the fight with the prince but he was supposed to heal, yet he wasn't."Zora what is going on?" Ari spoke from the other side, she was the only one who could hear her through the necklace. She broke off the connection which caused the necklace to stop glowing."How do you know the name Davina?" Irwin asked in a gravelled and pain wrecked voice. He was in deep pain and his demon was creeping its way up to the surface. Zora adjusted her countenance to appear nonchalant. "You don't look too good and you could die." She said with no care in the world. Irwin's breath was heavy and despite his red eyes she could feel the fear he haboured now. Her lips twitched as she went through her mind for the best way to put him

Chapter 47: The voice on the other side
The night touches were lit illuminating the long corridors of the castle. Soldiers were changing their shifts and maids were in the last hours of their works before the retired to bed. Zora stood behind prince Edgar as she helped him fit into his night wear. It was a long day planning all the events that were put on hold because of the princess spell which included a tournament that involved noble sons and citizens from across the country."All set my prince." Zora said behind him, the room was almost deadly silent from the moment she helped him out with his bath to dressing him up. After that day with Earl she visited him at his place and at the brothel where she found him and was informed of his heated night. She felt a sting in her chest that he was having a fun time with some other ladies but she deserved it so she thought. He was better off getting over whatever little emotions he had felt that way. She felt guilty not for letting him see her in such suggestive position with th

Chapter 46: The crown
A black cloak sweeps across the dried ruffled leafs that were scattered across the floor by the wind. Their was a slight echo of wind and the cold chill of it causing goosebumps on Davina's face. Nocturne birds cried while the the moon casted it's bright colour against the dark woods. "Give me back my crown." Davina said sorrowfully in a low voice as she dragged her feet further into the woods. She felt void of the elders presence and it only meant that the powerful aura around her was lost and anyone could notice the difference if not too obvious.She sighed, her head tilting in the direction of crackling woods. She began walking towards the direction, she had been threading these woods looking for Muriel, she was weak, hungry and thirsty. "Goodness!" She muttered once her eyes caught sight of the burning wood which she presumed was the fire made by Muriel."Muriel...." She called in a low voice but got no reply, she repeated her name again but when she got no answer she dragged her

Chapter 45: Between their hearts
Edgar observed the intense gaze between the two, it felt like they were involved in some kind of nonverbal communication. He focused on Zora who looked like she battled with some regrets within her as she looked at Earl, then he moved his focus to Earl who stared unwaveringly at her, his eyes bore a tacit of hurt in it and annoyance. His mind was also working fast bringing a lot of different interpretations to it about the situation. This two looked like they certainly had something deeper going on between them. If that was the case why was he not informed earlier. Then he also realized it was no business of his if they were together emotionally and didn't see the need to let it known. Which ever was the case, he felt his heart squeeze and burn in pain. He was taken aback by the amount of pain that punctured his heart. His mind was flooding and everything in it made him scared, scared to loose her and jealousy if they were actually a thing. Still there was a heavy determination in him.

Chapter 44: Unsaid Feelings
She stood outside his door waiting for him to give his consent. It didn't take long before he finally called her in. She stepped in and she dwelled on the sight of his manly body dipped inside the bath while the steam from it rose slowly, making the vision of him a bit blurr. His rich dark hair was layed back and his body dripped of water he had immersed himself in. His arms were stretched across the bath giving him a balance to rest his back against the bath wall. She blinked as her eyes went dreamy in admiration. He looked perfect and tempting. She walked up slowly to him, grabbing the bowl filled with nice scenting flowers. His bath was constructed in a pool like manner, just that it was quite smaller and fit enough for his entire body and an additional two. She brought her dress to a fold in between her legs leaving little skin from her knees to be the only part to show. She placed the bowl beside her and made sure she was close enough to him. The water was quite steamy and already

Chapter 43: Refusal
Zora's eyes widened at his question, she sighed deeply, her throat swallowing hard. He was putting her in a tight corner, how was she supposed to answer that? That she was staring at his unearthly beauty."You're hurting me." She said wincing in pain at his strong grip on her, he loosened his hands immediately and his intense gaze changed to a concerned look. He wanted to apologise for handling her roughly but kept mute instead allowing his actions do the apology."Go ahead, go prepare my bath." He said dismissively, turning away from her. She gave a slight nod before leaving. She couldn't expect more compensation to his hard grip on her than this. There was no way she could answer his question so easily, thankfully things happened the way it did. Edgar sighed brushing his hair with his fingers, few minutes went by after she left and he needed her right back. He didn't know how long this was going to drag on but he wanted her, every minute every second. He wanted to feel her presence

Chapter 42: Unpleasant
Zora eyes were now fixed on this man who dared to challenge the prince, yes! She knew him, how could she forget the one who almost caught her and interrupted her communion, like he was thinking about that night as well, Irwin maintained a deep gaze at Zora who narrowed her eyes interrogatively at him. He remained silent leaving her with nothing but a smirk. She felt attacked by his negative gesture at her, he shouldn't be a problem since he knew Earl but something about him didn't sit right with her. That expression had something deeper to it and yes she figured, he looked like he was trying to tell her something. Dislike, suspicions either one of them all wasn't well. What if he really caught her trying to communicate with Ari through her necklace, maybe he was pretending not to have seen it. Landon was already watching her with nocturnal eyes she hoped he wasn't going to add to the watch.Edgar was taken aback by Irwin's challenge. Why would he want to fight him declaring a challenge

Chapter 41: Keep your eyes on me
Zora wondered why he was silent and staring so intensely at her, even though their eyes weren't locked, she could feel his intense gaze on her. It made her want to flee and be anywhere else that wasn't close to him. Was she going to really survive being his maid, he confused her a lot."What are you waiting for?" He asked in a cold and low voice. Zora felt her breath racing at the sound of his voice, why was a half celestial being so intimidating. She had stood before more life threatening situations before, was it his killer intent the previous day when he pinned her to his bed? She felt him so strong and determined to end her at that moment. She had no evil intentions towards him but his killer intent was so strong that she almost gave up her breath out of fear. This is not you Zora! She scolded herself, she knew herself too well and this wasn't her, she that could render ones attack on her useless with just a punch line was wordless before him. She who could stand before anyone with

Chapter 40: Feelings
Edgar had just returned from the council's meeting, it was obvious from everything that had been discussed that there was much work to be done from now on, the king had suspended every preparation for the forthcoming events because Elnora was missing as at the time but knowing how much Elnora valued such events it was impossible to cancel for the year. This was her only chance every year at meeting people and being sorrounded by noble children. She hoped each year to be able to bond with someone and possibly make friends with them but all rather behaved in a dutiful manner towards her, the noble ladies trying to get on her good side in order to gain more favour from the king. The noble sons more interested in something intimate, covering up their real selfs with a pretentious mask, acting as saints before her so that when the time came that she needed to choose a husband they would be the lucky one. She knew none of them treated her with genuine interest and it saddened her a lot, with
