"I was barnished too. I saved a demon and in return for that, Avar barnished me and placed a curse on me that only a demon blood can break. That's why I'm here" Gina explained.
"For how long?"she asked.
"Three decades."
"Three decades? A demon blood is not so hard to get. You would have done that......"
"Joan, why are you here?"she suddenly interupped her and she became suspicious.
Normally, to get a demon blood wasn't so hard except it was a particular breed they asked for. So what was up with Gina? She scrutinized her and decided not to bother. She needed help from her by the way.
"I have to save Evelyn" she noted "I do not have an idea how I'm going to do that but I'm glad I met you. We could come up with a plan"she smiled
"I have a plan already"Gina smiled and then showed her the paint she'd been mixing. "Disguise yourself just like I've always done."
"Great idea"Joan smiled.
They began to mix the paints till it turned to golden brown and the other turned to ash. With a painting brush, Gina helped her draw the piercing on her ear with the golden paint and with the ash, she drew the black mark that looked like a portal on her neck.
"Woah!" Joan exclaimed looking at herself in a mirror "I do really look like a demon now"
"Well, you are still missing something" Gina said.
"What?"
"Sprays. You must have their demon scent" she said and Joan mouthed and 'oh'
She brought out a spicy scented spray and had it sprayed all over Joan almost choking her.
"Now great. You are all set."She smiled "C'mon let's go" she dragged her out who was still naesous because of the excess spary.
**CYPRUS**
Taynor and Lilian finally arrived at their destination but were gobsmacked at how the security around the gates of the city was tight. Worst of all, they had blocked out all powers from the city so, Taynor couldn't teleport in.
"What do we do now?"Lilian asked, paranoid.

Taynor wasn't sure what they were going to do so he just kepy mute as he dragged Lilian to hidden place on noticing some soldiers were approaching the gate. His eyes quickly lit up suddenly strategizing a plan.
"Wait for me"he told Lilian as he quickly left.
Once he reached where the soldiers were he stealthily grabbed two of the men at the back by their neck and quickly covered their mouth to prevent screaming. Secretly, he took them to the hidden place where Lilian was and he slit their throat as she watched.
"Take his cloth and put it in"he ordered and she nodded immediately.
Soon, they were both dressed like the soldiers and they joined in with the others who looked so excited and happy.
"Where you two at?"the head of the soldiers instantly asked them.
"We had to ease ourselves"Taynor detailed while Lilian only coughed nervously.
"We had victory at the war. We should celebrate with a toast"the head jubilated and they all cheered.
The gate finally opened and they all walked in jubilating and celebrating but Taynor and Lilian were quick to divert directions and hid somewhere to undress themselves.
They got to a very tall building that looked like a tower and they stopped while Lilian explained.
"The uppest part of the building is the king's chamber. That should lead us to the location of the dungeon"she said
"How do we get in?"he asked
"Try teleporting again"she suggested but when he ended up trying it he became invisible. "Taynor...."She called out immediately, scared that he'd left her.
"I'm here"he replied still invisble.
"You are invisible?"she asked in awe
"Just found out too. New powers come each day i guess"he shrugged like she could see him.
"Can you also make me invisible"she asked and he laughed.
"Don't be ridiculous Lilian"
She smiled wanting to know how he'd looked like when he laughed but he was invisible, she couldn't see him.
"okay, we do not have much time" she stated "Let's do it this way. Why don't you go in normally since you're invisible while I climb up the walls"she suggested.
"Wait"Taynor instantly said "You said the dungeon is at the king's chamber right?"
"Yes"she nodded.
"We can't go through your suggestion. It's a trap. The demon must have done something to the king and he would definitely be at the kings' chamber in the king's form. So we have to look for another way" he explained "if the demon captured Zenia, then he wants me"
"Which other way then?"Lilian asked.
"Follow me"he mentioned.
*****
Zenia flickered her eyes open and stood up from the ground immediately. A sudden strength filled her and she was determined to leave the dungeon. She knew now that they were going to be unknown attacks from different angles if she passed any of the dark tunnels. Her arm still bled so she quickly tore out a part of her cloth and used it to tie the wound. She gathered stones to prepare her escape plan and then she continued with the tunnel she'd been attacked in earlier. She threw a stone to the front to make sure it was a safe zone and she heard clashing sounds of iron so she waited for the sound to go down before she finally walked through, she kept repeating the process and kept moving farther until she got to a dead end where she couldn't move again. All she could see was a huge tall wall with no opening and she fell to the ground frazilly as a tear trickled down her cheek and she muttered
"Taynor, save me Taynor"
Taynor fell to the ground instantly clutching his chest tightly. He could here Zenia whisper and it sent a stinging pain to his chest. His eyes suddenly shone white and he saw her seated on the ground of the dungeon helplessly.
"Taynor, what is wrong?"Lilian ran to him quickly
He stood frazilly while his eyes turned back to golden and he mumbled "We have to be faster. Let's hurry"he stated.
Zenia stood up from the ground again and this time she decided to pass through the other tunnel and just get the hell out of there. Certainly, there had to be way out of the dungeon so with that resolve, she began her journey out of the tunnel and moved to the other tunnel while using stones to repeat the process she'd done in the other tunnel. But suddenly she stopped when she heard a very frightening sound coming from the dark ends of the tunnel. Her heart skipped a beat and when the sound became clear she found out it was an animal roar. She shrieked immediately when she saw a jaguar approach her. Her breath hitched, her hair stood and instinctively she made to run but Jagua was quick to pounce on her not even give her a chance run. It bit her flesh, it feasted on her and all she could do was cry in pain, shout for help and pray for her death because no one was going to save her.
She laid still while the jaguar brutally wounded her, she was too tired to even cry again so she awaited her death but suddenly the animal stopped attacking. It looked up ahead of her and she could sense fear in the jagaur when it recoiled and began taking steps backwards till finally it went back into its dark hiding. She laid flatly on the ground and wondered why the Jaguar left as flies from the dark came and began licking her wound.
Slowly she sat up on the floor as more tears trickled down her cheek till she saw the 100 year demon approach her. Her belly rumbled in disgust and irritation.
"You were trying to escape. I did underestimate a feeble human like you"she heard him say and she spat at his feet.
"You beast"anger surged through her.
