That's when it had finally come to my attention that that baby was me. I chased after the woman; my mother but I hit an invisible wall.I banged and body checked trying to get through screaming for her, yet no sound came out of my lungs, not even a sound came through the air choking on air.I dropped to my knees as I cried silently watching her run into the darkness between the buildings and trees; leaving me behind.She had blonde long hair that sparkled against the moonlight.The one person I'd been looking for my entire life slipped out of my fingers, and just like that she was gone and the baby; I mean me was picked up by Saint Agatha, the most loving and caring woman I had ever met.I reached out for her, but before I knew it, the nightmare ended.I awoke to a wet, cold cloth on my forehead. It seemed oddly uncomfortable so I took it off and grunted getting up off the cot. "I wouldn't do that if I were you," a female voice said in the dimly lit room.My body ceased in defense
Lucifers P.O.V I did it, this time it was easy there was no need for permission, no needless bickering. All I had to do is find the strength to take control. With one swift movement I frayed and split the rope holding the horse forcing it to fall as gently onto its feet, once it hit the ground I jumped off the treant as it veered every which way to throw me off, falling onto the horses back. I quickly grabbed Ariel pulling her onto the horse behind me as the flames ate up the forest. "Let's go!" I ordered everyone to follow as we galloped through the burning treants as they screamed in agony. I didn't give a damn about these wretched things they can burn into the depths of oblivion. A treant fell in front of us blocking our only exit, screaming in high pitched agony. "It's no good, you guys won't survive!" Ashley called out. I let go of the horses reins, my eyes changed to a deep purple, placing my hands in the air I screamed. "Halt!" Time froze, the only ones that d
"You all are cutting it quite close," Maylen finally answered. "Then hurry and let us through," Ashley raised her voice. It was obvious there was some heat between the two of them. "What's going on over here?" Another man trotted behind Maylen. "Nothing, everything is fine." Maylen said muttering swears under his breath. "Oh hey Ash, how are you doing?" The man asked smiling, his face shadowed by the dark fall. "I'd be better if Maylen let us through before night fall." Ashley said, slicing her words like knives. "Maylen, you know you can't,-" he got cut off. "Yeah I know. Go ahead he backed his horse away from the entrance. "Thank you," she said as we galloped behind her into the town. The man sighed and watched us go off in the distance. We made it inside, fireflies danced around the town, and a fire in the middle as women and children danced around it. "Now this is what I call magic," Ariel whispered, her eyes fluttered with anticipation. I smiled sadly for
‘This looks like something even swine wouldn’t eat.’ Lucifer mumbles in the back of my head.‘I’m not picky.’ I comment back to Lucifer, as my stomach rumbled, we haven’t eaten since the last town over and even then I barely had a few bites.As I stuffed my face I thought about what Ariel had said about the madness. I am possessed by Lucifer, does that mean the others were also possessed and due to it they had no control.‘I don’t know much of what your on about however, you may have a point I was sent here by god himself, maybe the other sinners and people who defied him were sent back, mere mortals aren’t built to handle the devine let alone the unliving.’ Lucifer comments.The woman who had brought our food stood over us, bringing me back to the hussle and bustle of the moment.“Are the two of ye’ enjoying your meal?” She asked looking at us with a large grin, making me notice she had a few missing teeth.“Oh yes, it’s simply satisfying.” Ariel replies with a small smile.“-And you
‘What happened to not letting me touch her?’ Lucifer’s voice echoed in my head making me stop in my tracks, I could feel Ariel’s breathing quicken and descend as I stopped, I made her breathless, and if Lucifer hadn’t said anything I would have went the rest of the way, I would have made her mine completely. “Is something wrong” She asked, trying to calm her breathing. “I’m sorry, I can’t do this.” I say sitting on the edge of the bed, looking towards the floor. “Did I do something wrong?” Her voice was small, and full of self-doubt.I spun around to face her. “No, you did absolutely no wrong, its-it’s me I can’t get to close to you right now, it’s not safe.” “Not safe? What does that mean?” She asks taken back by the question.Lie. Think of a lie, any lie. “My magic, it seems to be brought on by deep emotion and I can’t control it, what if I end up hurting you? I wouldn’t be able to live with myself.” I looked into her eyes and placed my hand on her porcelaine like cheek.I hate
He smiled politely and nodded and turned to face Ariel. “Enjoy your breakfast,” He turned to face me again. “It’s so great to have you back, your majesty.” He bowed with a smile and turned toward the door. “Thank you um…” Ariel paused not knowing his name. “Galain, your highness.” He says nodding toward the ground. “Right, thank you, Galain.” She says smiling back taking a bite of her breakfast. “Galain, that name does sound familiar, however I appologise I can’t remember from where.” He turned to face me his eyes shone as if there were stars in his eyes. “Yes sir, I was but a boy when you died, but my father was Hand of the king.” He replies. “Hand of Arthur you mean?” I questioned, his delusions are beginning to pique my interest. “Yes, my king,” he replied. “How did you find out all this?" Ariel asked while she placed a blueberry in her mouth.The man's smile faded and he looked at the floor, yet said nothing."Galain, where did you attain the information of the legend, if
He stares at Ariel for a long moment, he can feel her energy, the holy spirit. I know this, because I can feel it too, maybe not in the beginning when I was getting used to Lucas’s body. However, it’s getting stronger as weeks go by. He then looks back at me, and if it wasn’t for the entertainment, I’d probably give Lucas control again.Gabriel must have clued in, she know’s nothing about me other than the denial she has for Michael, which makes things that much interesting. I let Lucas have the control to hear what was being said, the kid is growing on me, despite his hatred of me.“Ah yes, Lucas Pendronious. The true heir to Camelot. The one with the legacy to save or destroy humankind, how intriguing.” Gabriel says as he walks closer towards me.“I wish to learn more about this prophecy, how is it that I am one of all these responsibilities?” I ask, waiting for Lucas to say something, but he didn’t his voice was silent.“You would ask this, wouldn’t you, the craving and the desire
“I don’t know, everywhere we go something like this happens, I barely remember my past, that amulet I really did find at that shop, I learned I have magic, people are saying I’m a king, I don’t know what to believe anymore Ariel, I really don’t.” I continued to stare at the closed door, it was easier to lie that way, it’s easier to keep her safe this way. “I believe you, Sire, I believe you don’t know much, but I do believe you know something, theres something sinister inside you, but to say what, I do not know.” Gallain spoke as he picked himself up off the floor. I didn’t respond, we should have left when we had the chance. Ariel placed the amulet underneath her clothing, and sighed. “Whatever is going on we have to get to Avalon, they must know something to all of this.” ‘They will know nothing, only made up possibilities.’ Lucifer comments. ‘You weren’t going to give me back my body were you.’ it wasn’t a question but a known statement his power is growing everyday, becoming
