Lord of Origins Chp 56 - Gorgon Liquid
“It was a tradition that those three bastards started,” Sky told Damien through gritted teeth, in answer to his question. He scraped his finger through his hair as he looked up and down the hallway. It was surprisingly deserted now compared to how it had been in the past hour. After Laura’s order that made the students reluctantly left even as some of them take pictures and posted them on their websites. Not only was Laura liked by most of the students, juniors and seniors alike but she was also the school’s head prefect. Sky looked back at Damien’s dripping uniform and winced. “Come, let’s get you cleaned up first. I don’t think that shirt can ever get close to white anymore but at least your hair wouldn’t be matted with paint anymore.” “Tell me the rest,” Damien said without moving an inch. Sky sighed “Okay, ehn, what was I saying? Yes, Ashton started it and it is only exclusive to him. Anybody that he gave the All Hands Mark will not only be bullied by him but everybody in the s

“How dare he even show his face here after that?”“Wow, these poor people have no shame” “If it was me, I would find somewhere to bury myself and I wouldn’t face anyone again ever!”Damien could hear the students whisper clearly as the teacher carefully completed the diagram he was drawing on the board before he turned to him.“What happened to you?” the man said and the class laughed as they expected that he was talking about Damien’s pain-spattered uniform. Damien smiled as he felt Sky’s wave of anger filling up the room and he knew that the ignorant students would quake in terror if they knew what was going through the younger’s mind at the moment.He faced the teacher “I…”“Look at you. A new student who got enrolled this late yet you are coming to class this late? What are you standing there for? Get in or do you need a royal welcome?”The students laughed again and they already got their phones ready for recording to add to the ones they already recorded that morning.Damien al
Lord of Origins Chp 58 - Senior Ash!
“Can’t she see that her involvement with him has something to do with what they were doing?” he thought briefly before she stepped forward, shrugging her friend’s hand off.“What kind of a head prefect will I be if I leave you all to do as you want in this school just because of an idiot?”Hushed whispers went through the students when they heard that statement from Laura as they knew who she was talking about. Nobody dared talk about Ashton. Well, nobody but Laura. Some of them were recording the event. Some were doing Livestream on their channels in the school-launched app “MaryConnect”“Now, every single one of you that has taken his place should get back in line,” she said with a fold of her arm across her body.The first student that pushed Damien out of the way was just telling the servers what he wanted when Laura spoke. He looked back guiltily when almost every head in the cafeteria swung to him.“Ah, Senior Laura. I was just…”“Step out of the line now!” Laura said and the la
Lord of Origins Chp 59 - Gut-Punched
Damien looked down at the food on his tray and then back at the entrance where Zach just left after giving his order. He obviously expected Damien to follow him instantly. The whole room seemed to be in bated breath as they waited to see what he would do. He turned around and saw Laura shaking her head at him. Damien looked away from her instantly as he wished fervently that the day could be over as soon as possible.There would be no escaping this. He knew so he went back towards the counter to return his food. “You are just going to waste all that food?” the server said to him in a disapproving tone. “You children have no problem with wasting food, do you?” “Kelsey! What gives you the right to talk to the students like that?” an older-looking woman said as she came to the counter. She seemed to be in the kitchen before. “Don’t think I can’t fire you just because you got in through the back door. Even a newbie like you must know that Maryland students are not like that backwater s
Lord of Origins Chp 60 - Helios is Back!
“I know the lounge. Come, let me take you there” Sky, who had made himself scarce when Ms Mace was confronting Jonathan said the moment Damien got to the entrance of the class where Sky stood. “What lounge?” Damien asked as he brushed off his cloth. “I will....… You don’t want me to take you there” Sky deduced when Damien did not move from the spot where he was standing. Damien sighed imperceptibly “You know…” “I know that you believe that I can’t handle myself with these stupid kids” Sky answered before Damien could complete his statement. Annoyance is evident in his voice. “Just show me where the lounge is,” Damien said matter-of-factly. Sky raised his brow at that. “Fine, give me the direction to the damn lounge!” Damien snapped. “Now I am talking like you” “Glad to see that I am rubbing off on you,” Sky said straightfaced, as he tried to hide the amused twitch of his lips. Sky gave him the direction to the lounge before returning to class. “Hurry up, break period will be
Lord of Origins Chp 61 - Threats and Incident
“I…ah” Damien had no idea of what to say when Zach turned away from him after throwing out his insulting question. He left the door open though and just as Damien was wondering if that was an invitation, the latter turned to him with a snap. “What are you waiting for? An invitation?” Damien quickly entered and he was gobsmacked by what he saw. He couldn’t believe that such a room was in a school building as it was so different from any room he had seen so far. “Look who we have here,” Collins said mockingly as he stood some distance to a dart board, casually throwing red, little darts at the board. He was dressed in all black, his outfit contrasting with the creamy-wine colour of the room accentuated by the low lights. Damien was distracted for a moment as he wondered why the darts were not falling off since they had no visible spike that could make them stick to the board. He turned his head and looked in amazement when he saw a tennis table to another side of the wide room and an
Lord of Origins Chp 62 - Sweetened The Pot
“He is coming!” Damien was still smiling in amusement when he stepped out of the elevator that took him from the floor where the pampered kids had their lounge. The loud whisper made him jerk his head toward the voice and he was amazed as he saw some boys tapping each other as they gave him a once-over.“Wow, he came back in one piece after all! Oh no, my money!” one of the boys lamented as he brought his money out of his pocket and most of the others standing by did the same.Damien was still wondering what was going on when Sky came out of the class with a smirk on his face as he said “Hand it over, boys”More groans followed before all of them gave Sky 100 dollar bills each. “$100 is nothing to me anyway. It is only losers like you that value paper money like this” one of the juniors said as he gave the person collecting the money his crinkling $100 bill. He immediately turn away though and beat a hasty retreat before Sky could take a step in his direction.“Yeah, that is right. G
Lord of Origins Chp 63 - Not....Again?
Damien was the first student to leave the class when the closing bell rang that day. Of course, he did not acknowledge the demeaning thought that he was running nor did he acknowledge the booing sounds of his classmates when he closely followed the heels of the geography teacher.He knew they were looking forward to having their type of fun but he was not willing to accommodate them that day.Even Helios amused taunts went unheeded as he hurried out of the school premise before anyone could stop him.Andrea might have intercepted what would have been an exacting punishment for him the day before but Damien knew that he shouldn’t push his luck with the Head Gardener.He already knew his way back to the Macmillans and since he left the school premise on time, he knew that he needed not to take the small car. Not that he had any money with him anyway.Damien did his best to take his mind off what would probably be waiting for him at the school the following day as he power-walked to his

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
