Surprise Child's

Chapter 9 The Rise of the Rider

Alessa is really a good educator, she is so patient and shows her care with love. Make Sophia not want to try harder, even though Alessa has told him to rest but he still wants to train.

Not wanting to break down the girl's spirit Alessa gave her a few extra minutes, Sophia was just trying to keep chanting and improve her concentration.

"Where is he?" damien asked because Alessa went home alone.

"Still training, go!" alessa said with a smile.

Of course Damien would see it, he wanted to know how far the girl had progressed. Behind the house near the forest Sophia stood upright with both hands threaded forward, her eyes closed with lips muttering a short spell.

The surrounding leaves began to slowly rise, hovering in the air and then slowly moving in the direction of his hand.

Still concentrating Sophia raised her hands up, but the leaves did not want to float up and flew in the wind.

Disappointed, Sophia lowered her head and intended to rest. But as he turned around Damien's gaze made him freeze, a smiling Damien approached Sophia to give her a hint of advice.

"You're too focused on making that leaf float," he said.

"That's what I want" he replied.

"Then he'll just float, not dance with you."

"So what should I do?" sophia was confused.

Sophia was quite shocked when Damien's hand touched her hand, the cold sensation always surprised her.

Placing her hand directly under Sophia's hand she moved it forward while her body stuck behind Sophia, making her heart start to be unsafe.

"Close your eyes" whispered Damien.

Sophia looked at Damien doubtfully, but when Damien nodded she complied.

"Feel every gust of wind that hits your face, hear the sound of nature speaking to you. Respond.. and read the spell."

In that pitch-black darkness Sophia slowly felt a gust of wind like the hand of heaven caressing her hair, then an old voice singing melodiously.

Entering the forest orgies Sophia casts a spell as an invitation, as she opens her eyes the leaves have floated to follow her hand to move under Damien's control.

Smiling amazed that this time she managed to do as Alessa Sophia began to move her other hand, she directed her hands left and right to the rhythm until her body took part in the dance.

Damien, who was happy to see Sophia's happy laughter, still followed her groove, placing one hand on Sophia's waist and inviting her to dance.

Sophia could see Damien's warm gaze again, even though her hands were as cold as snow but her breath was full of life. Capping his face that is getting hot and dissolving in the cradle, with a heartbeat that is getting faster he let his instincts take over to get closer to the vampire.

"Aren't you afraid of me?" damien asked but what he looked at was the girl's lips.

"Why should I be afraid of you?" sophia did not understand.

"I'm a vampire, remember? I prey on humans and other animals."

"You're gonna prey on me?" ask Sophia.

"So, what if I get out of control?" his reply.

Sophia smiled, hugging Damien's burly body like a helpless creature seeking refuge.

"Maybe I want it too" whispered Sophia.

......................

His red eyes looked around, confirming where he was. It took him a few minutes until the pounding was back to normal, even taking time for him to make sure his body was intact.

The morning had come, a servant knocked on the door to tell him the time to start the day.

He nodded, this time he skipped breakfast and told the waiter to call for Afragus.

In his room he impatiently stared out the window biting at his fingernails, until the door opened and Afragus entered.

"You called me?" tanyakanya.

"I heard a lot of screams, cries and howls. Behind the blazing flames the creature stood with its two sturdy legs, while its pair of wings spread out to flatten the earth. This isn't just Afra's dream! this is the inspiration of the God," he believes.

"Ursula what are you talking about?" asked Afragus not understanding.

"The rider has been born."

Instantly, Afragus fell silent, Ursula was a descendant of the elder with pure leader blood. He had the advantage of other Elves, he could use magic and invite fleshless creatures. Therefore, if Ursula dreamed of the Rider, it means that the dead legend is ready to be resurrected.

"Then what now?" tanyakanya.

"We have to prepare a ritual, um... Don't the pangera of Thodor have offspring?" saith.

"Yes, he got away from us."

"Find him!" his orders.

"Clearned it soon."

Without delaying it any longer, Afragus brought his best soldiers to search, under the guise of hiding the pointed ears so that no one would suspect.

......................

Damien should have slept when the sun was up, but he couldn't close his eyes. Finally he just daydreamed while staring at the ants lined up neatly, carrying bread crumbs out of the window slit.

"I've never seen that look out of your eyes" Alessa blurted her daydream.

Damien got up and asked "What kind of gaze do you mean?."

"Hahaha don't pretend to be stupid! you know what I mean," said Alessa.

"You love that girl" he continued seriously.

"I don't know that feeling" Damien argued.

"And now you know her" replied Alessa.

He walked and sat right next to Damien.

"I know how you feel, I like it too. She's.special," he said.

This time Damien agreed, Sophia is indeed a special girl. She was very different from most princesses, even in her few hundred years of life this was the first time she had met a unique princess.
