Damek exhaled as the smoke filled his nostrils. He was high from the amount of power he was taking into his body. His vision was getting blurred, his head was pounding and his breath getting raspy. The other sorcerers standing there began to look at him like some madman. Perhaps it was right to assume he was mad, for he was trying to take on too much power at the same time."Bring the blood."He said to no one in particular. The sorcerers there gazed at each other but none of them said or did anything."Bring the fucking blood to me!" He barked at them. One of the sorcerers then walked closer to him, legs and hands shaking terribly. Damek had already outstretched his arm and was waiting for the blood to be brought to him."Master, we no longer have fresh blood. We have exhausted all of our reserves."The sorcerer said and Damek froze. What was he talking about? They never ran out of blood. There was always some waiting should situations like that call for it. "What the bloody hell
The landscape suddenly switched to an old barn. Damek could see the birds flying in the Sky and the warm sun that bathed his skin made him remember some old days before everything went to shit. We all have such moments, don't we?Lilith then conjured a large cloak and she put it on, covering her naked skin. She looked at Damek again and smiled. She was smiling too much, and Damek knew people like her always had some sort of trick up their sleeves. He just hoped he did not fall for it."Sit..."Her voice echoed through his head. He tried to push it out but he found himself giving in to her command. But there was nothing to seat on, it was just an empty barn. However, when Damek took a quick glance at his back, there was a chair waiting there.She really did have enough mastery over the ethereal realm. He wished he could do something like that."Why do you want to kill Asmodeus?"Damek asked her. She simply smiled, yet again, and sat down on a large bed she had conjured. She moaned as s
Alastair's eyes slowly opened as the terrible headache he was feeling slowly wavered. For a moment, his vision was darkened and he could barely see, no he could not see at all. He stood in the empty space of nothingness, listening to his breath as his chest heaved up and down.What was the last thing he remembered?He could not even think. He tried to pull his thoughts back but all that came to him was the same pitch-black darkness. It was like something was clouding his mind, and whatever it was, Alastair was sure to find out.He took a step forward, and that was when the world around him took a drastic turn. He could see the darkness slowly rearranging itself, gaining light, little by little, like a new world was being formed. He stood where he was and pondered on what he knew.It was the ethereal realm, it had to be. And only Asmodeus could do that right? Pull him from his consciousness into a dream. Only Asmodeus had that effect on him. Sorcerers could do it but he was certain non
Alastair braced himself as Lilith hurled at him, slashing his face with her long claws. Her smiles were always deceptive, anyone who saw her smile whenever she possessed a human would probably fall to her charms. He did, a long time agoAs she came at him again, he quickly ducked and dodged the attack she sent his way. She yelled as he did like she was expecting him to fall prey to her attack. She came at him again but that time, he was not fast enough. The claw ripped through his arm and he groaned. But then, he caught her hand, twisted it, and kicked her in the guts. She cried out as he did and pushed him to the ground, falling on top of him."You should have told me what I wanted to hear. Then, you wouldn't be going through this!" She spat at him and punched him repeatedly in the face, snarling as she did. But grabbed her tail and squeezed it. She screamed as he did."You should not have lied Lilith. How did you come here? How did you gain access to the mortal realm?"He asked but
The pain. That was the last thing I remembered. My head was blank after that. Hela, myself and the mages I had managed to convince not to follow my brother anymore had been heading to the palace. Something had smacked my head and knocked me out.But what was it? Who did it?My subconscious mind continued to question itself when I felt like I was being drawn into a dream. The feeling was calm and inviting, and unlike other dreams, I have had in the past, the feeling was different.But I followed it.I suddenly found myself inside the palace. But it was not the palace I could remember at that point. It was from a time, about sixteen years ago. I still remembered because I helped set up the designs.What was I doing there? How was I even there?"Hello?"I called out but no one answered. No one was home. I was all alone and that began to freak me out. Imagine being the only person inside a large palace. It was not a nice feeling"Anyone here?"I called out again but yet, but I was met wi
The mind link was completed and it did not feel like anything Miranda was expecting. She was still inside her body, but she was one step behind Alastair. He was almost in total control over her. They slowly opened their eyes in the palace and unknown to them, their eyes had turned cloudy white, like someone in a trance. Kevin arched a brow when he saw his sister sitting up like some zombie and when he saw her eyes, he proceeded to try and shake her back to reality. But it wasn't working."Kevin, stop. It's me, it's still me." They spoke, and in their voice, Kevin could hear Miranda. It had been a long time since he heard Alastair speak and so, he could not recognize the voice anymore."Miranda, what is going on? You seem...""Possessed? That's because I am, Kevin. Alastair is inside me right now." They said and Kevin scoffed."Alastair? How? It's not possible.""It's possible, my boy."The king suddenly said out loud and both of them looked at him. He raised his hands weakly and they
"Ahh!""Hela screamed as the horse came to a stop. Tears fell from the sides of her face and when Miranda approached her, grabbing her by the arm, she sobbed."Kevin, help me!"Miranda called out to Kevin who quickly unmounted his horse and grabbed Hela, bringing her down from the horse. They helped her sit but she still kept on crying.And she was losing so much blood."This is bad. Really bad."Kevin said as he checked the Dept of the wound. He was no healer but he wasn't blind as well."We need to get her to a healer. We do not know how far the wound goes. And she is losing so much blood." Miranda said to Kevin."Yeah. But question is, where do we get a healer? We are still at least thirty minutes away from the capital and not to mention, we probably have other sorcerers looking for us right now. The best place she can get the treatment she needs is the Keep." Kevin replied."But the keep is too far away. She might not make it. We have to look for other alternatives." Miranda ment
"They found us."Kevin added as he armed himself with a lot of Elle's knives. Hela was standing up by then and so was Elle."How many?" Miranda asked Kevin."About a dozen. Sorcerers and Mages alike." He replied."We are completely outnumbered." Hela said to them"And outmatched," Elle added."Is there another way out of your house?" Miranda asked Elle but she sighed."There is only one and it is through that door." She said, pointing to the main door. "That means we have to fight then. Our main priority right now is getting Miranda to safety. She is the future Queen if not the Queen of this kingdom and she needs us right now. So we will escape and think of a place to go." Kevin said and the others nodded."We cannot go to the keep. That's out of the question." Miranda told them"What about Lord Henry? Their manor is very much reachable from here. We can take you there. He would be delighted to host you." Kevin said and Miranda shot him a look.But she had no choice. That was their b
