petty demon

part 26's

Devian stepped quickly through several dark and desolate passageways. Behind him Howen and Aiden followed his footsteps. Until at the end of the passage Devian's footsteps came to a halt, a gray brick wall stood firmly before them.

"Aiden, keep an eye out for activities in the Eastern castle. Prepare all troops and possible attacks from within." Devian stared at Giving orders to Aiden.

"Okay, Your Majesty!!" Aiden nodded steadily.

"Howen, take me to the last place you split up." Devian looked at Howen and turned to Aiden. "As long as I'm gone, I leave it all to you."

Howen's golden iris began to glow, a wooden door with mysterious carvings suddenly appeared and opened. Devian immediately stepped in, as did Howen.

Not long after they showed up at Alexis' place in Serang. On top of the rocks there are blood splattered. Devian stared at the blood. Howen lowered his head to touch the bloodstain and sniffed it.

"Make no mistake, Prince Alexis is in danger." Howen Murmured.

"Adrians.... " Devian clenched his hand tightly.

Devian circled his gaze, trying to track down Torn who was following his son. Not long after Devian darted quickly followed by Howen.

"How can you let this kid's body get hurt?" adrian's voice of emotion filled the room.

"Do you think it's easy to bring him here alive without getting hurt?" Rhodri protest was no less upset. "You should thank me for not killing him." Rhodri immediately stepped away leaving the mirror with the image of her father.

"Don't go you Rhodri!! I'm not done talking... " Shouted Adrian emotion.

But Rhodri has disappeared behind the door. "You kept commanding me at will, and using the child's body to rule me as well. You're making me sick!!" Rhodri muttered with emotion.

Tests... Tests....

The sound of water dripping, as Alexis' red irises opened. In the dark room he stood alone, before him stood a large mirror with a reflection of himself. But, the shadow inside there had different eyes to her, she had blue irises. Alexis watched his reflection closely, slowly his outstretched hand touching the mirror in front of him. But, the mirror was like water as he touched it the water ripples spread out but the water did not spill at all. From the reflection in the mirror was seen a woman with silver hair walking closer towards him.

Quickly Alexis turned around, but no one was there. He still stands alone without anyone. Alexis looked back at the woman in the mirror, her fingers slowly stretching out toward Alexis. The curved lines on her lips formed such a beautiful smile. Alexis kept watching him closely, remembering who the woman before him was.

"I..mom!!" Call Alexis in doubt.

The woman in the shadow smilingly stared at Alexis who was watching her and the shadow disappeared.

"No!!!" Shouted Alexis.

Another shadow is again visible, the shadow of Alexis' childhood. A childhood that he never felt, what if his mother lived like a normal woman. The mother who will smile at him, the mother who will give him a kiss on his forehead when going to sleep, the mother who will comfort him when sad. All the shadows he had always wanted were clearly visible in that huge mirror.

Until Alice's shadow appears, extend her clasped fingers towards Alexis. Doubtful Alexis extended her hand towards the mother. Back his fingers slowly touched the slowly immersed mirror into the mirror.

"Are you just going to leave?" A voice behind him shocked Alexis.

He immediately pulled his fingers away from the mirror surface, Alexis immediately turned to look at the other girl before him. "Are you just going to give up? You wimps!!" With a sharp look. "A jerk like you usually lives longer, but it seems like you have a different fate." The girl continued to nag indistinctly.

THE STORY IS CONNECTED BELOW

Alexis looked at the brown sliced girl before him with a puzzled expression. He was trying to remember who the girl before him was at the moment.

"Come conscious." The girl momentarily smiled with tears in her eyes.

"The.. Who's.... " Murmured Alexis Iirih.

But, the girl disappeared into flower petals that were blown by the wind. The mirror behind him now disappeared the room back into darkness. Alexis was silent watching around him no one was there.

"What happened to me?" Alexis muttered as his body slowly glowed.

"Are you going to give up?" A girl walked towards Alexis, her silver hair unraveling long. A long white dress sweeps the floor, the blue iris is so beautiful.

Alice stretched out her hand, touching her son's cheek gently. "Mom really wants to see you, how did you grow up? Are you happy? Are you close to your father? I wanted to always wait for that moment, but it seems like my time is not much anymore." Alice looked down at her glowing hands. "Although, mother couldn't last much longer. You should be able to hold on much longer. Don't give up!!" Alice hugged the Son's body tightly.

Tears slowly dripped from Alexis' eyes. He returned his mother's embrace tightly. "I'd really like to see you. I want to stay with my mom." Alexis' voice was shaking.

"One day, we'll be together again." Alice smiled and slowly her body disappeared into dust grains of light.

"Mother.... " Slowly Alexis' body began to disappear. Alexis' eyes were shocked. "Ke... Why would... What the hell happened to me?" Alexis began to panic but eventually her body disappeared.

******

Alexis' body lay in a small bed, with her hands and feet locked. The wounds on his body were seen just being treated. Bandages were seen wrapped around his wound, he was still lying unconscious as well as there was no sign of being conscious.

It was seen someone stepping closer, looking at Alexis with a hateful look. "Why do you have to go back? You should've stayed hidden." He muttered in a low voice.

"I'm sick of just looking at you, why do you get everything you want so easily? We have the same title and the same position. Why is this world always centered on you? Do you think you're the main character? No, this time I'll be the main character. I'll be the hero, when he uses your body to attack Aldwick's kingdom and defeat the King that's when my role begins. I'll be the hero and you'll be the villain. Everyone will adore me and they will hate you." Rhodri smirked towards Alexis' weak body and immediately left the room.

Not long after a girl appeared from under the table. He peeked for a moment to make sure no one else was in the room. After making sure the girl was safe, she immediately came out of her hiding place, walking closer to Alexis. Her brown iris watched the man guiltily. "Sorry, I have to do it. I don't want Robbin to hurt you." Ashlyn Mumbled.

Slowly his hand touched Alexis' fingers. Letting her lentick fingers gently caress Alexis's skin. Before long Alexis' fingers twitched, a surprised Aslyn stared directly at Alexis's face.

"Aaggrrh... " Alexis groaned in pain.

"You're sober?" Aslyn asked worriedly

Before long she opened her eyes, though faint but Alexis could see who the girl next to her was. For a moment he tried to get up, but because his hands, feet and body were locked there he could not move. Alexis chuckles in disbelief. "Is that how scared you are of me?" Alexis Mumbled.

Aslyn looked down inside. "I'm sorry.. " She's wailing.

Alexis was silent for a moment, her red iria staring at the dark ceiling of the room. "Why did you ask ma'af? Is it because you failed to kill me?" Alexis smiled wryly.

"It would be better for you to die, that way I can save Robbin from his evil intentions...." Aslyn Mumbled.

"He's worth so much to you." Alexis glanced at Aslyn sharply.

"But... I also want to save you, am I too greedy?" Aslyn looked at Alexis.

Alexis immediately turned her face away. "Isn't that human nature." Answer Alexis quickly.

Clakkk...

"Owhh... You're aware, my cousin!" Someone was seen walking into the room with a big smile.

"Kc... " Axis stared in annoyance at Rhodri.

"How does it feel to be defeated? Instead, start getting used to yourself because from today I am the winner" Rhodri said arrogantly.

"really? But it seems I can still feel your fear in every word you say." Answer Alexis relax.

"Don't provoke me, I could kill you right away if I wanted to."

"Provoke huh??" Mumbled Alexis Lirih.

"I'd better get everything ready soon, for the transfer of your soul." Rhodri immediately turned around to get out of there. "Ashlyn, you better get out of here, too. Before I do anything..."

Aslyn looked down inside. "I'll catch up with you soon." Mumbled wailing.

Aslyn's brown iris looked at Alexis full of regret. "Sorry, that's all I can do... " Murmured Aslyn before she left.

Alexis was silent looking at Aslyn's back which started to drift away.
