The Princess And The Demon

"There are no signs of life left in there, there is only death" a young handsome man said proudly, his lips curling up into a satisfied smile as his black eyes scanned the shores, what used to be an armada of humans and demons is nothing now but torn flesh and piles of ashes, some sh.i.p.s were destroyed while the rest ran away like dogs back to where they came from, it wasn't really a problem though, even if they managed to survive the sea monsters range again, it won't be long until they find the hybrid girl and all these vermins would be doomed...

"It was too easy" another young man said out loud, his sharp blue eyes focusing on the shores but he did not find any sign of life, it was strange, these people survived the sea monsters and the mirage fog, they were able to break through the divine gate sealed by the great Edard Yoren the first himself, so how did they fall this easy? something wasn't right even if he couldn't point it out...

"We must check the shores, the newborns, stay here with your arrows ready, the rest, follow me" once he gave the order a sequence of objections and complains erepted, Moa had always been like this, too paranoid and grumpy, but they had no option but to obey since he was their leader, the commander of the Gods watch...

How many years has it been since he saw a human or a demon? Mao wondered, disgusted by the idea of their union he led nighty men toward the shores, there were barely a hundred person in the Gods watch but each was giving the power of a hundred men, it was one of the Gods many blessings...

Once an orphan who's village was slaughtered by the demons, Mao had a rough childhood tainted with abuses and starvation, one night he stole a loaf of bread but was discovered caused him to be chased by the baker and his hounds, the young boy too terrified to stop running run until his legs gave up on him, he fell unconscious in the middle of nowhere and woke up in the holy tower...

It took the little boy a while before his escaping attempts stopped, he was told that the high priest found him almost dead and brought him here, telling him it was the will of gods that lead the high priest to where he was, the boy, grateful for the Gods and priests dedicated his entire life and being for the gods, so when time came for death to claim him, he was somehow transported from the cold chamber in the tower to the center of the world, his old and sick body was now young and healthy, his strength grew enormously, his sences sharpened and so did his loyalty that didn't go unnoticed by the Gods who named him the commander of the Gods watch...

Reaching the shores, the priests grimaced at the sight of gore and blood, the smell wasn't that of roses either, as they expected there was nothing alive and their commander was being paranoid as usual, letting their gards down, they watched as Mao walked toward the bloody mess while waiting for his orders to go back to their leisure, unlike the holy tower, in here they were granted immortal life where they could enjoy all the p.l.e.a.s.u.r.es of a mortal...

"I envy the newborns now, at least they didn't have to smell this" one of the priests said when he couldn't b.a.r.e the smell any longer, Mao gave him a glare before walking to a particular body whose c.h.e.s.t moved slightly, not knowing whether it was the wind or some life still in it, he stood few steps away noticing the large frame of the human man embracing a demon girl so protectively as if he tried to shield her, wondering why the girls body didn't burn he stepped closer only for him to feel the frostbite freezing him in his place...
