CHAPTER 41

Axel agreed to meet with the guard behind the fountain at midnight and with a parting kiss he walked out of the palace into the streets of Lucia. He had two mission to complete, the first was to look for a dark witch, they were being chased by the elite hunters of the supernatural kingdom and bounty hunters who wanted to make a fortune overnight as the price for each dark witch was enough to live like one of the wealthiest nobles of the supernatural realm. This made the human realm a sanctuary for most of the dark witches, it was a paradise for them cause they hand humans at arms length and other creatures for their sacrifices, they were free to roam around and blend in with the humans without being noticed or hunted.

Axel knows that by now, the witches will be swarming into his kingdom from all directions and it won't be hard to find them at night cause they will be out hunting for preys.

Axel had always had only two plan since mollys death. He still hold the grudge of what the witch did to his Molly, and he plans to make them pay. His main purpose of taking the human realm was to create a sanctuary for the dark witches, when he has make it feel safe for them, he will seek the presence of the Deamonia king, he will make a deal with the king to be his partner. With him ruling the human realm and kora to seal the deal, the witches are the gift of the occasion as they are the main threat both realms will be facing, with them eliminated, his plans will be a success.

He needed a more powerful allie, who else than the great king of both the demon and the supernatural realm. With the king on his side, he will rule the human realm as the richest king cause he had what most of the supernaturals want, humans.

He saw the humans as life stocks and will tread them in future for gold and lands. He maybe carless about them for now, but that is because he wants to create a sanctuary for the dark witches. He wants kora back so that he can get over his plan faster.

How hard is it for a group of ghouls to catch a little girl who is powerless and alone. A human as a matter of fact. He knows for sure that kora is alive else's the ghouls would have returned with her dead body or a news of her death. So tonight, he will create another group of ghouls and send them after kora, he has promised to never give up nor stop till he gets what he wants.

Into the dark, Axel found another dark witch trying to lure a human child who lived on the streets to her lair.

You don't have to do that witch, he spoke out loud. Once the child heard Axel calling the beautiful lady who promise her a home and good meal if she just agreed to follow her back home a witch, she immediately turn and sprint for her dear life.

Why did you do that, the witch said angrily with her eyes pitch black and her face twisted into an horrifying hag. I need her to power up you idiot.

Watch you tongue when you are talking to your king witch, I am the reason you veil creatures are safe here. I made it possible for you witches to live here without being hunted.

You are no king of mine, I live to serve only the goddess Yaren, imposter.

How about I inform the Deamonia king of all you witches whereabouts and let's see if you can still talk back at me?

The witch waited for a few seconds before asking, what do you want?

I like you.... What's your name? Axel asked

Violet, she replied.

Good Violet, you are business minded and I have a proposal, what do you say we return back to my castle where it is mostly safe?

Not until you tell me your proposal first.

I need a little bit of black magic, that's all and in return I will give you all the children you want and a safe place in my palace. You will work for me and protect me against any other attack from any witch or another creature.

What black magic?

Let's say I need a group of ghouls to go after the princess for me, I need her back. The people are in need of their princess and I need someone I can trust to help run the kingdom up front while I operate behind. The princess is a better choice as the people know and trust her judgment, and I am her father who rules over her.

With the princess back, we can run on a low key and still win, after all only a god or goddess power can close that barrier and seal it strong to keep us out and as it stands now, the dark witches amongst all the supernaturals are the most likely to cross over the barrier with their life intact. Though the barrier maybe weaken, not all creatures can make it here. Some died trying, while others need the help of a dark witch like you to cross over.

Infact, we can make this realm the home you dark witches never had

If we can bring back the princess, we will rule the human realm, think about it, a paradise for all your kind. What do you say?

Nice plan shape shifter, but I know better than to trust another creature, especially your kind, how will I trust what you say are true?

I don't know, you tell me. You are the witch here remember ?Axel replied.

How about we make a binding spell, I bind you to me, you and I will be of one soul, if I die? You die.
