Mithra_MA

Centuries ago, the queen of the Floral Tribe vanished without a trace, igniting a fierce and unyielding rivalry between the Night Tribe and the heavens. Her disappearance cast a long shadow over both realms, and the bitterness between the tribes has only intensified with time. Now, as a new generation ascends to the throne, the stage is set for a thrilling saga filled with forbidden love, brutal warfare, shocking betrayals, and the unbreakable bonds of brotherhood. As ancient secrets awaken and dark forces converge, the fight for power and unity begins anew. Will loyalty prevail, or will the fear of the past consume them all?

FADE: The Fairy and Devil

Sudden flashes of lightning bathed the pitch-black sky in an eerie glow, casting ghostly shadows that danced on the walls. The heavy silence that enveloped the room was pierced by a distant rumble of thunder, echoing like a warning from a forgotten past. Adhyant's heart raced, a labyrinth of confusion spinning in his mind. Nirav's decision felt like a dark omen, stirring memories of the chaos that once unleashed despair upon the six realms.

"Heaven is not the same as the human realm," Adhyant said to Akira in a resolute tone. "In the floral realm, one year is merely a day. You can hide your absence from Lord Nila there. But heaven operates differently." He raised his concerns.

"I left a letter for my lord as a precaution in case she notices my absence. It seems to have come in handy," Akira replied. "I wrote that I'm touring the human realm to gain experience, so she won't suspect that I am in heaven," she added proudly.

The proud look on her innocent face captivated Nirav unknowingly. He approached her with an appreciative gesture.

Nilay's situation was no better than Adhyant's; he too was confused by his master's reaction. Playing in the human ralm with a little amount of power is fine but heaven...

Even with her full abilities, the phoenix was a formidable opponent for his master. What will happen if she goes to heaven and gets busted? What would happen if she ascended to heaven and encountered difficulties? The destruction of Akira wouldn't harm his true master, Aadrika, but the chaos it would cause—such as the rumors of the heavenly prince harboring the night princess—would result in sheer disaster.

"I have to stop this..." Nilay thought as he roared at the approaching Nirav. However, the little roar from the small cub was more funny than intimidating. It did remind them of something important they had forgotten the whole day.

Nirav pointed at Nir and asked, "Why is he here?"

"A demon pet of a fairy? Are you serious?" Adhyant questioned.

"He saved me from harm, and I made a soul pact with him. He is not a demon; he just has the blood of the night realm," she said, cuddling Nir.

"Demon or night realm, they're basically the same," Nirav replied with a serious tone.

"I disagree. Our lord has taught us that we should never discriminate based on a person's birth," Akira responded, her words irking Adhyant.

"But I haven't seen your lord following this rule when it comes to heaven," he countered.

"That's an exception," she said softly. Nirav jumped into their conversation.

"We both have different values, and yes... I have seen him. He is truly genuine. I won't be biased against him."

Then, Akira hesitated, looking gently into Nir's eyes. "Can I bring him with me?"
