Lord of Origins Chp 33 - Different Energy
Damien heaved a deep sigh after escaping the Head Gardener’s presence.The man was so surprised when Damien repeated what had happened to him. Andrea’s version anyway. “He did what?” Head Gardener Salem said as he looked sharply behind Damien as if he was expecting the assistant to jump out to tell him that it was a prank.“How did you become friends with miss Andrea?” he asked and Damien blamed himself for adding that information. He had initially intended not to say anything to the man but after he told him about what happened at the gardens, HG Salem was just looking at him as if he couldn’t comprehend what he was being told. Damien blurted out that last part in his nervousness. He regretted it immediately but the deed had been done.“She was passing by,” Damien said after a pause. “Passing by?” HG Salem asked in disbelief and Damien nodded in reply.“You reply to my questions when I am talking to you, boy!” the man bellowed and Damien quickly responded.The man gave him a disbel

“Do you want to kill me?” she shouted at him as she held her hand to her bruised forehead.“I am so sorry,” Damien said in a panic as he tried to rush to help her to rub her forehead. He belatedly remembered what happened when the other girl touched him and he stopped just as she was also saying “Don’t touch me!”His relieved sigh was palpable as he stepped back already and she peered at him from beneath the hand she held her forehead with “You are weird”“I am…”“I don’t want to hear it!” she snapped with her hands raised “Will that heal my head? Believe me, mum is going to kill you if I tell her that you caused this for me!”“I am…I did not know that was you. I thought…” Damien trailed off as he realised how dumb his statement would have been. What he thought was bloodied hair was only the red hair of his self-acclaimed friend, Andrea Macmillan.The girl was clad from neck to toe in a black jumpsuit with a black pair of sneakers and he wondered where such a kid was going by that ti
Lord of Origins Chp 35 - Cinched
Damien smiled and she narrowed her eyes at him “Are you making fun of me even though you were the one that lied?” “No, I mean…I am about to start attending and since you asked I felt I should just tell you that name since I will be attending soon anyway” then he remembered that he had not even had the right time to ask yet. “If I can” he added. “What do you mean by that?” Andrea asked Damien answered absentmindedly “I don’t think the Head Gardener would approve,” he said then looked back at the girl as he wondered how easy it was for him to talk to a girl whose life was but a blip on what he had used. He suddenly realised that the girl was likeable even though she had made him lie earlier and he might still… “You will go,” Andrea said suddenly with a glint in her eyes. “Go?” Damien asked, clueless before he realised the only thing she could be referring to. “I doubted if Head Gardener would allow it” “Oh, he will allow it,” she said with such assurance that Damien felt tempted t
Lord of Origins Chp 36 - The Request
“So you think you can do whatever you want now just because you managed to get yourself a backer in a small girl?”“Sir, I…”“Get out of here. I will allow you to attend your so-called school. Just know that you will be gone the instant I see that you are slacking off on your job here!”“Yes, sir”And that was all it took for Damien to be allowed to attend Maryland High School by the Head Gardener. Despite the girl’s assurance the night before, Damien still thought that he might meet up with disapproval from the man about his school.So, with apprehension in his heart after speaking to Michael on phone the following day, he approached the man in the gardener’s office. HG Salem gave him a cutting glare even as he knocked on the door which made him feel like going back instantly.After explaining what he wanted to seek permission for though, the man granted it without much ado. Apart from the glare he had pinned on Damien throughout his talk, the HG did not show any other form of disple
Lord of Origins Chp 37 - High Indeed
Sky had to ask for a favour from one of his friends so that Damien could change in his car before they head to class. The guy gave Damien a derogatory look as he asked where Sky knew such a loser from.“Just stuff it and let me know if you would let him change in your car or not, Cade” sky said in anger and the other guys that were hitching a ride to school with Cade laughed at Damien the way they had done earlier when Sky brought out the school uniform; a white shirt with Maryland badge to the left, blue long trousers and a checkered blue and white tie; Damien exclaimed in excitement about how the uniform reminded him of a robin egg.Some of them who had not even set their eyes on the egg before wondered what the loser with the strange accent was talking about and they all laughed out loud at his dishevelled look.Damien couldn’t explain to them of course that he almost missed the time they agreed on to meet before HG Salem choose that morning to tell Damien to get him bags of mulch.
Lord of Origins Chp 38- Aww No
Just like a phoenix rising out of the ashes of the unremarkable buildings close to it, Maryland High School stood magnificent and different from most buildings that Damien had seen so far. Not even the shopping center he had seen the other looked this magnificent. The land was so expanse that Damien couldn’t see its end from where he stood, openly gaping at the white-walled six-story building. Uniformed security men stood at attention at the entrance enclosed with a marble-walled fence and two giant, black wrought iron gates that opened up to the magnificent grounds of the school that had a uniquely designed driveway that veered to different sections in the school compound. After greeting the guards at the gate, who gave Damien a questioning look; Sky took the lane that led up to the main door of the school main door. Different cars were going in and out of the building, each of them dropping off impeccably dressed students. Some of them did not pay Damien any attention as they lif

Damien, who was inside the jock’s changing room was not visible to the guys in the corridor. Sky motioned for him to stay put before he turned to face the trio in the corridor.As usual, Ashton Benthall, the owner of the voice was in the lead followed by Zach and collins tedder, his two accompanying accessories. Sky mildly rolled his eyes when he saw the gaggle of girls and other admirers staring at and looking at them from a distance before he face Ashton with a nonchalant smile.“Oh that?” he said when the latter merely looked at him like royalty waiting for his minion to confess to his evil deed. “That was me complimenting you on the new kid in school”Zach snorted derisively “And what makes you think that we need your compliment on anyone?”Sky knew Zach to be the most impulsive of the Tedder cousins, hot-tempered too and always the one talking first. Pity that the idiot talked most times without thinking and was a staunch loyalist of Ashton. Sky hated the twerp because of the wa
Lord of Origins Chp 40 - Young Androne
“My goodness! You are looking like a mess!” A.O. Sylvestro, the principal of Maryland High School said when Damien entered her office.Sky winced at the principal’s high-pitched voice and he looked back at Damien as if just seeing him as he thought of how Damien must look to a woman who was used to only seeing her students at their very best. After all, students of Maryland High school were known to have at least about one uniform for each day of school and some of them couldn’t be caught dead in a rumpled school uniform not to talk of a stained one like that of Damien at the moment.Sky hated the fact that Michael had a rule set in place for all of them that forbade them from what he called unnecessary advantage because he would have loved nothing more at the moment than to wring Mr Dax's neck.The man had vented his anger on them after the powerful trio left. After yelling at Sky to get going, the man refused to leave until he saw Sky left so Sky had no choice but to tell him that h

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

Chp 222 - Smith Is Butler Shawn's Son?
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

Chp 219 - Ebbing Life Fire
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
