"Evelyn....."Locken held her worriedly and Zenia was so confused that the hundred year demon really had a caring side to him. "Are you okay?"he asked and she nodded briefly before standing up hastily.
"I need to see Taynor" she breathed heavily still looking dangerous.
Zenia was about rushing out to let her know that she was needed to save her son but on second thought, fear held her back since she didn't want to be invovled with the hundred year demon. However, she stepped on a dry grass that made a noise that had Locken and Evelyn turning to where she hid. She clamped her lips together in fear and earnestly prayed she wasn't found but Locken suddenly appeared at her front that sent her falling to the ground in fright.
"Taynor's fated after all."he sighed "Who sent you?"
"No one"she fearfully replied.
He grabbed by the neck instantly and pushed her to the tree behind her, "Who sent you?"he asked again.
"Please put her down Locken. She will lead me to Taynor" Evelyn quickly chipped in on recognising Zenia and slowly Locken let her go.
"Take me to him"she instructed.
"I'm going with you"Locken suddenly stated firmly
She looked at Locken and sighed not wanting to waste any more time and soon, Zenia began to lead the journey.
On getting to Dango's place, Zenia fidgeted before carefully pulling the old wooden door knob and creaking the door open before she entered proceeded by Locken and Evelyn and they met with Dango who seemed anxious upon seeing Evelyn. He rose from the seat he sat and then smirked,
"You are here"he stated and with one flick of his middle finger towards Evelyn, sent her choking and the next, a stream of worm like blood burst out of neck.
Zenia"........"
Locken"......"
"Wh...at are y...ou do..ing?"Evelyn stuttered in s strangled voice before slowly passing out.

***In Larden***
"Don't you think, Taynor must have gotten the gluntis by now?"Lilian asked Leo who was beside her in their cottage.
"Not sure"Leo clicked his tongue "but certainly they are going through series of obstacles"he replied.
She leaned comfortably on the wooden chair she sat on and then asked. "Do you really think that he can become human?"

He nodded"he can, but he will not"he answered with a sharpened gaze.
Lilian snapped her head towards him "why?"she furrowed her brows.
"Taynor's birth was foreseen. When he was given birth to, it was summer but rain fell through that day. The clouds darkened, plants moved, it was the birth of a unique creature. He has so many things to fulfill, he has been destined as an immortal neo being"Leo explained and she sighed considering that everything he said seemed to make sense.
"Then, how did you two become brothers?"she asked
"We were trained by Dango when we were much younger. We grew to be brothers there"he detailed and she nodded but then, her countenance suddenly changed and she sighed in worry

"I fear for my mother. She hasn't come back since the last she left. I feel she is in danger" she let out her thoughts.
"Do you want to see her?"Leo turned to her.
"How?"she asked quizzically.
"I could show you what she is doing now"Leo replied but she shook her head reluctantly.
"No, it's fine. I still want to stay angry with her. But I hope she is safe"she said.
There was a long silence while Leo stared at her intensely smiling from ear to ear and she noticed it but didn't bother to say anything until he let out a question that she had really been considering for over days.
"Have you ever wondered what would be if we were mates?"he questioned.
She snapped her head to him and let out a nervous smile, "What do you mean?"

"Ever wondered if we are mates?"he repeated.
"It will be beneficial since you are handsome and I'm pretty" She laughed "You are a wizard, I'm a witch. Being mates would definitely have no contradictions."she concluded
"What if I tell you right now that we are mates?"he looked at her.
"Are we mates?"she retorted and as she expected, he nodded.
"Why didn't you say anything since?"she asked emotionally.
"You were still getting over Taynor. I didn't want it to be an issue"
"So you like me huh?" she looked at him while a tear trickled down her cheek.
"Hey Lilian"Leo held her soothingly "I'm sorry I didn't say anything since. I just....."he paused staring down at her lips "Can I kiss you?"
"Is that your way of saying you like me, yeah?"she pouted
"No, it my way of saying I love you"he smiled before slowly capturing her lips and she reciprocated the same way.
****
Back in Mellisa, Taynor sprang up from the bed he laid, his whole body red and he was breathing profusely while chocking as he held his neck like something was stuck in his throat and he couldn't see anything since the room he was in was completely dark not even a source of light.
"Zenia!"was the first chocked word he mentioned but no one answered. Suddenly, he felt a stinging pain in his chest and and his hand travelled from his neck to his chest and he let out a painful roar. His eyes shone red, he felt hot and his fangs and claws grew out.
Outside the room was Dango and Zenia hearing all Taynor's scream and sorrow filled Zenia's heart.
"I have to help him!"she stubbornly told Dango.
"You can't go in now!!"Dango stated holding her back from doing anything stupid. "Let him finish off. If you are going, he might probably kill you"
"It's hurting him"she cried feeling extreme pity remembering after Dango had taken the stream of worm like blood out of Evelyn and she had passed out immediately, Locken held her from falling to the ground while Dango controlled the worm like blood with his power and with a flick of his finger, the blood went straight and pierced into Taynor's neck. He shook in his deep slumber but he didn't wake. After which he was locked in the dark room he apparently was in and same was the case of Evelyn, she hadn't woken up.
"When will all this be over?"she asked.
"Give him some time alone. He's going to be fine"Dango assured.
Meanwhile, out there was in the wood, the demon King and the queen of angels still fighting endlessly.
*WITCH KINGDOM*
Beverley was at peace of mind walking with authority along side Joan as they approached the witch council and Joan couldn't help but shiver. She wondered the punishment that Beverley might get for bringing back a banished witch to the kingdom. She also wondered what would happen if eventually, she was accepted back and she and Lilian could come to inhabit there. Was that ever possible?
"Hold my hand."Beverely's voice jolted her out of her thoughts and she quickly obeyed. Soon, the door before them opened and they walked into the council, with many high elder seated.
"Greetings Council"Beverely bowed along side Joan and there was utter silence. The six elders eyes sat upon Joan's figure.
"Beverley, what's going on?"Avar asked being the head of the council.
Beverley held Joan's hand tightly and stated "whatever punishment you may give her. I will bear it at all cost"
Joan shrieked, looking up at her immediately.
"Beverley!"she called but she kept a stern face
"Fine then"Avar answered "I will give you what you seek Beverley"she raised her fingers up to the air and began enchanting a spell and Joan knew she had to intervene immediately. That wasn't how she expected things to go.
"Stop! Please stop"she quickly held Avar's fingers "I will leave. No one has to get hurt"
"Joan"Beverely stated.

"No Beverley, you cannot hurt yourself because of me. I will do what they ask and never return"she concluded but Beverley held her back.
"I brought you here Joan. I'm not letting you go"
"Holy Crystal! What has gotten into your head Bev"Lucia finally yelled feeling irritated by the drama the two displayed.
"I want her back into the kingdom. Along side with her daughter!"Beverley stated.
"When last did you play such sympathy?"Avar ridiculed "the council made a decision already. Single hand protest from you won't change a thing"she noted
"I...."
"A war would break out in the angels kingdom soon"an elder cut Joan from speaking.
" What are you doing Krina?"Avar questioned.
"We should give her a chance to prove herself worthy"Krina replied
"No!"Avar thundered
"Just this once" Beverley chipped in

There was silence as the atmosphere got tensed up, Joan not leaving the spot she stayed already having hope and finally,
"Come"Avar's cold voice came.
And she walked further to the middle of the council.
"I will tell you one thing Joan. Bring me the queen of angels and only then, will I spare you!"
"Why? Did she commit an offence?"she asked.
"Do you still dare question?!"Avar thundered.
"At least I should know why I have to bring her"retorted Joan and Avar sighed.
"Show her Beverley"she said.
Beverley took her to the insight witches cave; where they watched and oversaw all that happened to maintain balance in their divine creatures world.
"It has always been the job of the angels to keep the peace between kingdoms so, there were no threat from externals however, the queen of the angels has uttered the proclaims"Beverely explained.
"Linda?"Joan asked
"Yes"Beverely nodded and then enchanted a spell that allowed Joan see everything that was going on through a mirror like surface.
"A war might break out soon, if she's not taken care of"
Joan watched in keen interest how in the kingdom of angels there was riot at the royal palace. The queen had long been gone and they wanted a new queen because they believed the demons had captured their queen so, they wanted war.
"Where is she actually?"she asked.
"She started a war with the demon King, Caluum"Beverely replied.
Joan looked and saw how they fought and protested endlessly for a new queen to rule over them since they had no intention of saving the former.
"How can I stop this when I lost my powers?"she asked.
"It shall be restored. Come on"
They went back to the council of elder and Avar called her upon.
"You have seen what you must do Joan. Bring me Linda alive"she instructed and before Joan could respond she vanished and found herself in front of the Kingdoms gate.
She quickly enchanted a spell to open the gate, hoping that her powers had been restored and soon the gate opened. She smiled in relief and she was prepared.
"I'm coming Linda"she smirked.
