“He told you?” Isabella’s tone made Damien look up from what he was doing in the room he had configured to be the research room. His study had been fashioned to accommodate him before but now, he had called in technicians to make modifications. There were about five systems in the partitioned cubicle that had been set against the farthest wall to the door. The room has been decorated with rollable, sturdy couches for when they might want to have a less formal chat. The meeting room is for the most serious discussions or undertakings. It gave a totally different feel from the last time that Isabella was in there.

The change seemed to be the least of her concerns though as she raised her eyebrows in question when he only stared at her in confusion.

“Who told me what?” Damien asked.

“That bas…Asher fucking Langdon. He told you why he had to live in such a hurry. He must have told you! I bet he didn’t just leave you a goddamn note to tell you he would be away for a while. The motherfucke

    More appalling discoveries were made as the weeks passed. Damien, Sky, and Isabella tried to ensure that their quest would not affect the main reason why they were in California in the first place - Their education. But as time went on, they soon realised that if care was not taken, they might not be alive long enough to even have a degree.A powerful seance took place in Damien’s place when the powerful witches that Morgan had been able to get in touch with, got to California. Though they had all been working from their respective countries tirelessly to make sure that they got a firm grasp of Ulric’s essence, they all finally agreed that their powers combined together would be more beneficial in their quest of finding the wizard’s ghost. Isabella had to ask her father for the house he initially wanted to give her in California. Though it was a bit far from Damien’s place, it was the perfect space for power-wielding witches who might need their solitude to come up with whatever they

    One moment, he was free-falling through a blinding light. So fast that he was beginning to think that this whole idea was a big mistake. Then the next moment, he stopped falling. He was not feeling his feet on any hard surface at all. It seemed like he was suspended. Hovering. And it was pitch-black. This darkness was unlike any that he had ever seen before in the world of Origins or the human world. It was an entirely different level of darkness that almost made him choke. His super-vision couldn’t see beyond his nose. And there was something about this darkness that made his skin crawl and his heart race.There was a wrongness to the darkness. And he knew he was alone. He was alone and his memories were deserting him. He tried to remember something so important. He knew he was supposed to be doing something at that moment. Something…there was rustling movements beyond his range of vision. Slithers and rustles that seemed to be near him at one point then farther from him at the next.

    Sky had almost forgotten about the fact that he was miffed for being left out of what he had dubbed the Great Experiment. He was caught up in the music blasting off his headphone and he had finally made headway regarding the projects he was working on. After a series of research, usage of AI and having to go back to notes written in the class, he could confidently say that he had the experiment well in hand.He was so engrossed in what he was doing that he did not take note of the sounds of fast, nearly soundless footsteps and others more resounding in the hallways. What he first noticed was the chill he felt in the air. It made the air on the back of his neck lift and he felt goosebumps all over his body. The door flung open behind him just as he turned around to look in the direction of the AC. He looked towards the door and frowned a little at the person that stood there smiling at him.“Err, what the heck? Aint you supposed to be somewhere in Mexico, chasing some sort of rebels o

  • Lord of Origins   Chp 215 - Tell Me I Can

    Isabella couldn’t believe that all their stress for the day had only ended in naught. Sky had translated the long, complicated language. He had done it so diligently and expertly. Yet, it had all been ramblings and warnings about what happens to humans who can’t let things be. It had been a very stern warning about what could happen to them if they dared to do such a thing again. The writings had stated that Damien had been specifically chosen as a scapegoat because he was the one that brought the ridiculous team together in the first place. He was the only one who had seen the message. He had also been the one who came out of the séance bloodied and unconscious. Isabella had come out smelling like roses. Literally. She had been tossed into a beautiful world filled with hummingbirds, buttercups, incredibly beautiful roses, and melodiously chirping birds. She had been momentarily confused as she wondered why she couldn't not see every other person.Then she saw him. Damn, smirking As

    “I love that you are turned on for me, babe. I am turned on for you as well. Do you want to see?” he asked, and he already turned his camera to his erect cock before she could say anything. He gave her a momentary peek of the engorged flesh before he fixed the phone back on his face. “Can you see that? That is how much you drive me crazy, babe” he said and his voice get shaky as he started a rhythmic movement that was jostling the phone a bit.Isabella knew that she shouldn’t ask but it was out of her mouth before she could stop the question. “What are you doing?” she asked.He only gave her an intent look, caught his lower lip in between his teeth before turning the camera down again. Though she looked away instantly, she couldn’t not see what she had seen already. He was stroking himself and the head of his cock shone brilliantly as peek of white liquid showed at the head.“I know you want this, babe” he said throatily. “Don’t deny your body what it wanted. Look at me, babe. Do thi

    “What?! That part! Repeat that part!” Damien said as he rushed forward towards where everyone converged in the meeting room. He pushed Liam aside in his hurry as he moved forward to see the slide where Michael and Allan were trying to piece together what Asher was saying.“Okay, leader” Liam said with his hands raised as he moved clear out of the way but for once, there was no flippancy in his tone. There was an unusual seriousness in his eyes as he looked towards the back where Morgan stood protectively in front of someone.“And that… what part?” Asher Langdon asked midsentence. “The part about how Ulric could take on anybody’s image for a prolonged time,” Damien said urgently.“Oh, yes. According to what I can decipher from here; it is said that he could take on any form he wishes when he wishes. That is…are you sure she is fine?” Asher asked worriedly.“She is fine, lover boy. Can you please go on with what you are saying?” Liam chimed in.“Can someone please tell that bastard to

    “Sky would never hurt you, sister,” Damien said as he came towards her. He was relieved to see that the glassy look was gone from her eyes. He gave a slight nod of gratitude to Motgan as he came closer to them. “I…I know” she swallowed hard “I know Sky… but at the moment, he…I could have died” she said more to herself than to any of them around.The horror in her voice alerted Damien to the fact that she was relieving that horrible moment. He couldn’t even fathom what could have happened if he had not felt her distress. He was amazed to see Morgan on her way to her room. Without saying anything, they had both gone to her door. Damien could still remember that horrible moment when he had raised his hand to knock at her door only to be greeted by her shriek. His blood had curdled as they both dashed through the door and headed straight to her bathroom where they saw a blur of movement nosedived out of the window. For a split moment, the fleeing figure had looked back at Damien with Sky

    Laura called him in the wee hours of the following morning. He almost couldn’t believe his eyes as the true caller on his phone identified the number. The call brought back the memory of the kiss they had shared and the messy feelings that seemed to take hold of him whenever he heard her name or that of anyone related to her. “Laura?” he called her name like a question. “You are…”“Awwn, isn’t this sweet?” everything stilled inside Damien as he heard Sky’s voice. Fuck it! He yelled in his mind, knowing immediately that damage had been done. If not, why would…Laura!“What have you done to her, Ulric?” Damien asked instantly.“Ulric? Who is that? There is only your buddy, Sky, here. Remember me?” Sky’s horrid tone said over the phone.Damien quelled all forms of imagination that wanted to come to his head about what could have happened to her as he said calmly “She has nothing to do with this. I thought you were said to be a wise man. Surely, you must know that she is a human and she i

    Months Later...Damien stood in the palace of Santa Eyre. He was looking down through a concealed portico at the people down in the palace waiting room.The creme de la creme of Santa Eyre was down there. All of them were waiting for him to see them on one issue or the other. It had been the routine for Damien for the past months now. There had been a lot to deal with, after their encounter with Ulric. The King's burial had been an international affair. King Saldus had been a very influential and well-beloved king. Presidents of countries, well-known CEOs all over the world, and dignitaries from different continents were in Santa Eyre, for days, to celebrate the dead king.They all believed that the king had died peacefully in his sleep. Only Damien and his inner circle knew that there was more to the king's death. There had been a dark essence to his chakras. Damien still couldn't come to terms with how much Ulric took from them. The call Allan received after the battle with Ulric,

    Chp 226 - A Decision To Make

    Total darkness filled the whole house as the power supply went off all of a sudden. The only silhouette that could be seen was the dark mass gathering again in the middle of the room. It was so massive and tall that it seemed like a giant was forming out of it. The witches rallied together and a spark of fire ignited above them to conquer the dark. Light could be seen from afar but the immediate environment of Damien’s house was as dark as the void itself. “I will purge you abominations from this earth!” came the terrifying voice of Ulric as the darkness swirled around the lights and they all went out again. One of the witches screeched, and by the time the magic light was lit again, she could be seen grabbing her throat, as blood poured out of her mouth and sunken eyes. “We need to take this motherfucker out!” Liam shouted and the rest were right with him. Damien took the lead as they charged the dark mass again. Damien released the orb and every protective substance he had in t

    Chp 225 - Will Not Fail

    Everyone in the room looked at each other as the mocking voice of the man they all knew, had heard of, and heard of resounded throughout the house. The distortion to his voice was horrid and the frightening element in it was only causing more fear in those around. Only the leaders were still stoic. The soldiers were half paralysed with fright as King Saldus went on and on to describe explicit ways that they would all be obliterated that night. Exactly at 11:58 pm, the voice stopped talking and Isabella’s phone exploded right there in the middle of the room. It was charred beyond recognition. A blast of wind rocked the shingles of the house. Suddenly, the witches all exclaimed “Stench of the underworld” A knock sounded at the door at exactly 12:00 am. They all looked at each other and beneath the bravado, was a hint of apprehension. They all knew that they might not come out of this alive. Still, the witches flung the door open by magic and someone tumbled inside. Even as everyone

    Chp 224 - King Kovarick...Dead?

    Sky did not wake up immediately. Morgan tried to wake him up but she eventually looked up at Damien and others. “I think he used up his vitality. Ulric did something else with Sky that he had never done with any other host before. He used him up. He might…he might never wake up” she said with a sigh of defeat. “No, no. that is not possible. Do something leader. You have to do something!” Michael said in desperation. Damien knew that but then he thought of the fact that Ulric might want to use Sky’s condition as a distraction for them while he strike from elsewhere. Damien was the head of the group and their link make them strong together, just as he make them vulnerable together as well. If Damien was caught in the realm while trying to heal Sky, any damage done to him at that moment will affect the whole group as well. He was sure that Ulric had a plan to do something to them while they were trying to heal Sky. Though it was difficult for him to do; he had to ask “How long can he

    Chp 223 - One Of Us

    “You changed her?” Michael confronted Damien the moment he got back to the house. He had to teleport Laura back with him since she was still very much out of it. He had just placed her in his room, where Morgan and Isabella were keeping an eye on her when Michael confronted him just as he came out of his suite.Here we go. He thought. Anger welled in him for the reminder of his guilt. He respected Micahel for being a stickler for rules but at the moment, he did not care to be reminded that he had failed to protect his woman. He did not need the clan leader to rub more salt unto his wound. Not at all.“If you have a thing to say, just say it,” Damien said as he bypassed Michael on his way to the main floor.“If I…” Michael paused in disbelief then he lengthened his stride to meet up with that Damien. “If I have a thing to say? We never change humans. You know how precarious they could be and you went to turn one of them?”“She is one of us now,” Damien said as he turned back to face hi

    Sybill Macmillan couldn’t believe what was happening! When Andrea called her to inform her, she thought that her bratty sister was just acting up. Truth be said, Andrea didn’t appear as bratty as she used to be. Sybill felt it must have to do with the fact that she didn’t have to see her daily anymore. It had all started long before Sybll left for school. Andrea had capitalised on her invitation to the palace by the king, an invitation orchestrated by that nobody. Damien. Sybill still couldn’t think of him without distaste in her mouth but she didn’t dare say any of her thoughts aloud.Who could have thought that a mere gawking, gardener? A good-for-nothing would turn out to be a prince. A referred prince for that matter that the whole of Santa Eyre and its environs had become submissive to. Sybill snorted as she remembered the rumour she had once heard that the king intended to pass the throne to Damien. Sybill doubted if the king would be so dumb to do such a thing. Why would a man

    Chp 221 - The Awakening

    Laura’s awakening was messy, to say the least. She woke up hours later feeling disoriented, groggy and out of it. It took her a while to recognise Damien. Then she blurted out “I love you” thoughtlessly. In the next moment, she was shouting bout feeling so thirsty, then she started pulling at her hair and agitating about hating her skin. Her clothes felt too tight. Her head hurt and she felt like she would die if she did not eat something.Damien knew what was happening. Despite how much he wanted to ignore it, the inevitable couldn’t be denied. Laura had become a vampire and if he did not do something about it, she would die within the first hour of her awakening. He tried to talk to her during that moment to see if she would rather choose to die than become a fully-formed vampire, yet it was like singing a lullaby to a deaf kid. She could hear him. She seemed to have some iota of consciousness but she was not comprehending what he was saying.“Okay, okay. Can I eat now?” was the ans

    Chp 220 - Laura's Death

    It finally dawned on Damien why Sky/Ulric wanted him to see him draining the life out of Laura. It was just so he could make a difficult decision or live eternally with the guilt of causing the death of the girl that he only belatedly realized he loved. Tears trailed down Morgan’s face as she stood up. “It is no use. I…I can’t do it. There is nothing to draw from. I can’t heal her.” She spread her bloodied hands to the sides as anguish soaked her voice. “My hands are filled with her blood, and I can’t bring her back. I was supposed to be better than this”“Now, now. You shouldn’t beat yourself up, A Ghra. This is not your fault” he looked straight at Damien over Morgan’s head “This mess was not for you to sort”“What the hell did you just call me? How can you be so cold and glib right now?” Morgan lashed out at him. “An innocent girl is dying for God’s sake. She did nothing wrong! She is dying and there is nothing I can do. That… bastard drained her lifeblood. He wanted us to watch h
