petty demon

part 7's

"Everything feels boring the same darkness, I want to get out running from here. I want to see everything I've left." Crying silently in a body lying like a corpse in a glass casket that's what Alice is doing right now.

Deep within his subconscious he tried to get out but so much force was holding his body. No matter how strong his desire is, his body wants something different than what he wants. Wanting to reach for the point of light or yelling as loud as possible but all felt futile. No one can hear it.

It was that despair that he felt right now, curled up in the circle of light the only source of light in his subconscious. Waiting for someone to come back.

"Why did you bring me here?" I heard someone's upset voice.

The night was very late, all looked dark just the sound of footsteps and the voice of someone who continued to grumble.

"Be quiet, Mr Rhodri!!" There was the voice of someone no less upset.

"Bill should we be here this late?" Ask Rhodri.

"If you want to be detained by the guards you can come here tomorrow morning." Omel Bill who was getting upset to hear Rhodri's complaint.

"What are we actually doing here?" Ask Rhodri.

"Stop asking and help me get this weed off the road." Bill tried to cut the tall weeds with his sword.

A small castle separated quite far from the main castle, the grayish Stone walls were filled with wild plants. The entire courtyard was filled with spiny wild plants, a nighttime atmosphere that felt gripping in the absence of moonlight. Even without telling anyone, everyone will know that the castle is uninhabited or worst of all, there may be other creatures that occupy it.

Irritatedly Rhodri slashed down the entire bush blocking their way until they could reach the main door of the castle. When he got to the door, Bill immediately opened the castle door.

The moment they entered the castle, a chill started to seep into their bodies. Darkness filled the entire room making this entire castle feel even more stuffy.

"Bie.. Bill we better go." The worried Rhodri whisper.

"An.. You must pick up something in Mr. Adrian's room." whispered Bill.

Rhodri gulped his terrified saliva, they walked slowly down the dark room carefully. Everything was still neatly arranged, only all the furniture was covered with dust.

Finally they enter a room, Bill immediately asks Rhodri to look for something at his father's desk and Bill looks for it on the bookshelf. Rhodri continued to scramble in her father's desk drawer, taking out all the contents inside and reaching into the corner of the drawer. But what he was looking for could not be found. Similarly, bill he had scrambled all the books and drawers all over the shelf but the thing he was looking for also did not meet.

"Nothing, is Grandpa sure it's kept here?" Rhodri asked, getting annoyed.

"Where else would it be if it wasn't kept here? Just search until you can and do not complain. You've only been here a few days complaining a lot." Bill kept grumbling in annoyance.

As Rhodri looked out the overcast window that closed the Moon slowly shifted to make the glow of the Moon through the cracks of the window glass. Making the room instantly bright, it was at that moment that Rhodri's tails saw a dark blue curtain on the wall.

Slowly Rhodri stepped towards the curtain. The wind that was slowly blowing swept through some of the curtains, a shadow of the figure behind the curtain was seen. With a trembling hand Rhodri stretched out her hand, trying to grab a piece of the curtain to grab it.

THE STORY IS CONNECTED BELOW

Rhodri gulped down her terrified saliva as she grasped the curtain and with a single jolt..

Srakkkk.....

"Ohhhhh... " Rhodri shouted with all his might.

The shadow of a young man with a frightened face. The surprised Bill immediately looked at Rhodri who was shouting by turning his face he continued to close his eyes.

"A.. What are you doing, you idiot? It's your own shadow. If you scream like that the guards will know." Bill looked at Rhodri annoyed.

Slowly Rhodri peered at the large mirror before her. Two-meter-high mirror with a wooden frame that has strange carvings. Rhodri turned around and re-observed the carvings in the mirror frame, the tortured faces, the people wrapped around the giant snake. From the bottom there are monstrous forms of demons, horned demons to demons that have quite a lot of wings and hands. As the carving began to approach the top, the carving turned naked humans as if reaching for a throne on which stood a King with a crown and a rubby stick as red as blood above it.

"A strange mirror." Rhodri touched the part of the frame admiring every detail of everything. "But I like it."

"Stop messing around help me find her." Omel Bill is still busy scrambling other parts of the closet.

Rhodri sighed and was about to turn around.

"Rhodri." a whisper stopped Rhodri.

Rhodri turned around and looked around, but nothing she saw was just a mirror in front of her.

"Did you hear someone calling me?" Rhodri glanced at Bill.

"Maybe I heard wrong." Rhodri was about to turn around again when another shadow figure appeared in the mirror.

Rhodri was so shocked that he fell on the floor, when he saw a terrible figure in the mirror before him half of his body covered in black sharp scales and some still in human form. Her irises are one golden in color and one gray in color.

"S... Who's ka.. You you?" Rhodri asked nervously.

Fear suddenly overwhelmed him, cold sweat flooded his forehead. He pointed into the mirror trembling. Bill who saw it was surprised and immediately ran over and prostrated. "Ma.. Sorry s... I'm mister.... " Bill's voice stammered and trembled with fear.

"Rhodri, so you're Aleysia's son. You're a big man." There's a voice in the mirror talking.

"The.. Who're you?" Rhodri asked trying to look bolder.

"I am King Aldwick, ruler of the kingdom of Aldwick. I am King Adrian." Adrian grinned at the two people in front of him.

Alexis settles along the main castle corridor. Every time a guard passed by the boy immediately hid among the shadow of the pillar until the guard left.

"I'm like a thief in my own house." Alexis was upset.

Alexis slipped back through several doors until he finally reached the door to the tower. Alexis carefully tried to open the wooden door.

"Not locked?" Alexis looked astonished, as if aware of something the boy immediately ran up the stairs to the highest part of the tower.

Until he reached the top room. Empty, the room that was once contained a glass chest is now empty. Only a moonlight beam pierced through the only small window at the top visible in the center of the room.

Alexis clutched his hands tightly, until his handbooks turned white. An angry and angry feeling ran through his mind.

"What is he planning? Why does she keep hiding my mother?" Shouted Alexis annoyed. "I'll make a calculation with him."

With Alexis' quick steps immediately down, her blue irises slowly turned red. In the grasp of his hand a sword slowly formed, a silvery sword that flashed. A few guards who saw Alexis immediately confronted the boy.

"Prince what are you doing here? You better go back to the Eastern castle." One of the guards warned.

"Be quiet, you'd better get out of the way before I kill you all." Alexis's eyes glistened sharply at them making anyone shudder in horror.

The guard gulped, wanting him to stop Alexis but like there was a force that scared him to stop the boy.

"You know, I'm the prince of the demon kingdom. If you dare to take one step you will lose your life." Threat Alexis.

"Who's making such a fuss these nights?" Devian's voice came from behind the shadow of the huge pillar in the corridor.

"Yes.. Your Highness.." The entire guard immediately saluted Devian.

But, Devian's eyes looked straight at his Son. "You can go."

The whole guard went straight from there leaving the father and son alone.

"You... Where did you hide my mother?" Alexis asked withholding her anger.

"You break my rules, I'll sentence you." Said Devian flat.

"I don't care about your ridiculous laws. Give me my mother back before I fight you." Alexis looked at his father.

Devian stared at the sword his son was holding and turned to look at Alexis' iris.

"You are a child of the devil you shouldn't have been born." Devian looked at Alexis flat.

"Who would be wrong if I was born? Isn't that also because of you." Alexis looked at her father full of anger.

"You're right, my biggest mistake is you. I had to lose my wife." Looked in Devian's eyes when he said his last sentence.

"What do you mean?" Alexis asked increasingly emotionally.

"Should I say it? That you're the cause of your mother's death." Devian stared intently at his son.
