❤️ Broken Promise (Part 1) ❤️

"Unless you make it not too hard for the girl to pull out whenever she wants." Amaya told him. "That can only be the explanation behind this."

Still finding it hard to believe. "I didn't make it easy for her, you know me, I would have told you that night."

"If you didn't then how come she carried your Golden spear?"

"I will find out the answer."

"You are planning to pay her a visit, right?"

"Yes, besides, apart from that night we haven't crossed the Werewolves kingdom but u will be going there to see if what you said about her is true," Dark said and Amaya smiled. "Leave, I need to think without disturbance."

"Dark, if you ever need someone to talk to, just know that I am one step behind you. I am always here to listen."

"Leave Amaya."

Amaya quietly left the room leaving Dark to his thoughts.

****

Hobgoblin Kingdom:

Raziah screamed out in rage when no more arrows were shot. Staring at the place the demons were before made her start growling.

Destroying the first demons had made her think Dark, wherever the hell he is, will come out to confront her but she got none. Now a few years later another set of demons had come out to attack and someone somewhere had made sure she got no lead to where the man she wanted to drive her sword into his beating heart.

One day, just one day, Dark will come out from the hole he is hiding.

"My horse." She didn't need to repeat or say the words aloud when some Hobgoblin hurried up to bring the horse to her. Taking the reins forcefully from the male Hobgoblin, nearly scratching off his skin from his fingers. She climbed her horse, and without another word and gallop out of there faster.

"Well at least she kept to get own end of her bargain," the Queen of Hobgoblin said as Raziah was soon out of her sight. She turned and returned to her chamber. Her handmaid rearranging her hair. The only light coming from the room was from her candle at a corner of the room. "I wonder why she is angry instead of her rejoicing that she succeeded in killing the demons that I paid her for with my money and kingdom." she added.

"Maybe she is angry at whoever killed those demons she had spared." her handmaid chips in.

"True but I am glad that out problems has been solved." The Queen of Hobgoblin said, resting her head on the pillow and doze off. Her handmaid finished rearranging her hair and left the room silently.

The Wolf Kingdom:

The only time her horse came to an absolute halt was when she reached the palace.

One of the guards quickly took her horse reins from her as she walked angrily inside. Dropping her spear on the ground, the guards around will pick it up and take it back to where it is being kept.

She immediately went to the dining area and sat down at the head of the table. Some servants came to serve her food.

No one spoke or made a noise, they could see that she was in a bad mood.

Five minutes later, Barwolf and his three wives all made an appearance and each went to sit on the chairs available at the table. No one said anything as they watched Raziah eating. The only noise coming from the dinning room was the clattering of her spoon on the plate.

Her dark eyes slowly replace the violet ones.

Raziah had made the rules for them to always be present whenever she was eating, failure to do so, would result in punishment. DEATH.

At first they had thought she was joking until she killed Sari, the fourth wife of Barwolf, mercilessly in front of them. Ever since then they never fail to show up. And Raziah is always fond of eating late, probably to punish them or to force them into breaking her rules so that she could hurt them. They noticed hurting them always brings smiles to her face.

"How did it go? Were the demons able to come?" Barwolf asked, breaking the silence that had engulfed them. Barwolf waited and waited for Raziah to respond but got none. He sighed slowly waiting for her to finish eating so that he could go back to his bed.

"You want to know if they succeeded in killing me, right?" Raziah asked and drank water and kept the cup at the table and stared at her father coldly. "Too bad, it didn't happen and it can never happen. They were not a match for me." she added proudly.

"I didn't mean that Raziah. I was just trying to b-" he didn't get to complete his words before she Interrupted him.

"When do you think Dark will pay us a visit?" Raziah asked.

"Were the demons sent by him?"

"Was that the question I asked you?"

"I'm sorry Raziah," Barwolf apologized to his daughter. "Dark comes whenever he wants at any time. We should pray that he never visit this kingdom again."

"I want him to come. He has to come. He should come, I have been waiting for him for a very long time. It is very wrong to keep me waiting." Raziah said and stood up to her feet and left the dining room without another word.

"If only you were content with me, we wouldn't be in this mess," Faith (Barwolf first wife) said. "I married a King but I didn't know that in the future he would be reduced and given a lowly position. If not that your daughter had threatened me I would have left you the day she defeated you." she added.

"You are not the only one on this boat Faith," Kate said and Ama nodded her head in support.

"Don't remind me of what I had forgotten."

***

Unknown Place:

"Isn't it time yet. She is grown up now." a woman's voice could be heard. Her hair was purely white. "I need what was given to her and Dark. It belongs to me."

"Not yet, just be a little bit patient. We need Dark to commit a mistake to have the girl on our side, remember the plan." A man's voice could be heard. He was covered in dark mist , his whole body wasn't seen.

❤️ Broken Promise (Part 2) ❤️

"I remember but you know it's been long. I keep hearing 'be patient' 'be patient' but for how long will I continue to be patient?" the woman asked the dark mist and began pacing around in what looked like a cave.

"I am just as impatient like you too but what will I do? Patience is the only thing we have to hold on to. Showing yourself will ruin everything." The man covered in dark mist told her.

The unknown woman heaved out.

"Fine," she said, tightening her lips. "Fine then." She added again.

"Keep preparing your body for the powers." the man said and immediately the black mist was gone leaving the woman alone. Sitting down and crossing her legs and closing her eyes, a few minutes later she was a rock statue which merged with the rock behind it.

****

Wolf Kingdom:

"We will keep reminding you every day of our lives." Ama told him.

Without another word he stood up and went to his room leaving his three wives behind.

His heart was heavy. How the might has fallen.

___

Raziah slammed her room door hard behind her.

She was still angry but the one person who she wanted to rip out his heart wasn't close and her father, she couldn't hurt him.

"Where are you, Dark?" she asked no one. "Where can you be hiding?"

Her hatred for him began the night she needed him the most. The night that changes everything. The night she felt helpless against her father, the first time. She hates him.

'Thinking and hating about your past won't make what you went through go away.' Violet, her wolf, told her through their mind link. 'It won't change the fact that he didn't come to save you, plus, that was the night you discovered your wolf, me.'

'I can't seem to forget that night no matter how hard I try violet. I am trying my best but I can't stop thinking about it."

'You had so much hope that he would show up but he didn't show up. You've got to stop dwelling in the past Raziah.'

'Maybe if I kill him and my father I will have my peace.' Raziah told her Wolf. Dark didn't keep to his promise. He had broken the promise he made to her.

'Maybe. Try to get some sleep Raziah.'

Her wolf went silent after that.

Smiling at no one, Raziah started removing her clothes one after the other. Her back was covered in various scars that ran down to her a$$. Her father had always used a sword to beat her whenever she interfered or pleaded with him on her mother's behalf.

The wounds had long healed but the scars had marred her back.

Feeling tired, she lay down on her bed and slept off.

*

*

The next morning she got up and went to the house where her mother's corpse was.

The servants had already set warm water in the wooden bucket and a hand towel in it.

She began cleaning her dead mother.

"How are you doing, mother? Did you sleep well?" she asked the pale cold body. "I didn't sleep well last night but I'm used to it. Yeah I know I have to be strong for myself and myself." she added and kept quiet for a minute then nodded her head as if the dead body was speaking. "I know that mother, I won't hurt him but I will always punish him for what he put you through and me." a smile appeared on her face. "I do eat to keep me alive and going. Yeah, I know, I love you too, mother."

No one understands this, but she hears her mother speak.

Once she was done. She pecked the forehead of the dear woman. "I will be visiting the Vampire kingdom today mother, wish me well."

She left the room and told one of the guards to clean up the room and sent one to call Barwolf for her.

"Good morning. I was told I was needed." Barwolf said to his daughter. The guard that woke him up didn't give him a chance to dress up. He forced Barwolf out of his room with his underwear. Guards, mere guards who wouldn't and tremble at his feet.

"Yes, I did Barwolf." Raziah answered. "Where do you think Dark will be staying? Where can I find him?"

"You can't find him anywhere, no one has. He comes and goes like he wants." Barwolf told her.

"Why is he feared?" Raziah asked. She has never asked this question before but something in her feels like she will be meeting him soon and knowing some things about the man will be an advantage to her.

"Because he is the son of the five Princes of Hell. He is mysterious, you don't want to mess with him or get on his bad side." Barwolf answered his daughter.

"So? Because he told you all that he is the devil child and you all believed him?" Raziah said, rolling her eyes at her father. It had only taken her one Kingdom to defeat (the giant kingdom) for the rest of the other kingdoms to fear her. The fear in their eyes when she had defeated those demons and had conquered the giant Kingdom pleased her. She loves seeing the fear in their eyes when they see her but Dark, he had only told them and they believed him. How foolish of them.

"He didn't have to say it twice or prove it Raziah. He showed us."

"How?" Raziah demanded, one of her eyebrows raised.

"You wake up every morning to clean your mother up. You take good care of her."

Cutting him short.

"And what has that got to do with what I asked you?" She asked with a glare.

"You can do everything to help your mother but him, he killed his mother's people. He killed every dragon and did not spare even one. How can a sane person kill every member of his mother's people? What he did with the dragon kingdom, when we heard of it. We became scared and didn't want him to destroy our kingdoms so we all agreed. He is deadly." Barwolf explained.

"I still see no reason why he is feared." Raziah shakes her head.

"He buried the entire Dragon Kingdom with water." Barwolf told her, closing his eyes.

Raziah's eyes widened and then narrowed it to him.

"The same way I should have buried you since," Raziah said which prompted Barwolf to open his eyes. "One day, I will pay deaf ears to my mother and kill you." she added with a darker look and Barwolf had to move back. "Go and clean up my room."

Without saying another word he ran back inside the palace building.

Dark is strong, no doubt, but so is she. Raziah thought to herself. She dares him to come out from his hiding place and face her.

Come out. Then the blue sky began to darken.

***

Dark Castle:

Dark was seen putting on a black tunics that was his waist length and trouser and his boot in his room.

Amaya walked inside the room and met him dressed up.

"Where are you going?" she asked, surprised.

"To meet Raziah."

"Why?" Amaya demanded in surprise.

"Raziah has my property and I am going back to collect it from her."

"She is now a fighter; she won't give you the Golden spear willingly."

"I don't care. I will kill her to get back my golden spear if I have to."

"But it is morning already, can't you wait until it's dark for us to go? We are made for darkness. Demons can't come out in the morning." Amaya reminded him.

"And I don't need anyone's permission to step out in the sun. You can't step out but I can Amaya, that's the difference between us." Dark told her.

"You are going to hurt yourself Dark, the day doesn't favor us, please listen to me and-"

Interrupting her.

"Amaya!" he shouted which fling her backwards with more force and Dark quickly entered his dark mist and appeared behind Amaya stopping her from hitting the wall. It wasn't because he didn't want Amaya hurt, it's because he likes that wall. It has mirrors which shows his impressive heights and muscles and not to mention his handsomeness.

He let go of her immediately.

"Don't you ever tell me what to do. You're just a friend and my commander. Just because you became close to me and I allow you to walk inside my room like you please shouldn't give you the right to give me an order. Do I make myself clear?" His lips didn't move.

"I am sorry." Amaya apologized with her head down.

Checking himself on his mirror, his black mist surrounded him and the only one in the room was Amaya who started screaming in anger.

❤️ The Duel (Part 1) ❤️

Wolf Kingdom:

"You, go and get my horse ready," she said to a guard not bothered about the gathering dark clouds. "Tell Barwolf to prepare my spear for me. He should not keep me waiting."

"Yes my King." the guard responded and hurried up to do as told.

Snorting out loud she went back to her room and quickly had her bath putting on a revealing short gown.

She left her room and when she came out of the opening, her father with the help of some other guards were waiting for her with her spear. Her horse too.

Collecting the reins of her horse and climbing on it. She took the spear from them.

"Where are you going?" Barwolf asked, wetting his lips nervously as Raziah turned to stare coldly at him. "Just in case someone seeks you, I might know where you are and send for you my King," he added.

"The Vampire kingdom. Someone better seek me Barwolf if not, I swear by my mothers, I will cut off one of your toes." Raziah told him and without another word kicked her horse at the side and it galloped away.

Barwolf began praying and hoping.

Turning to return to what he was doing, a cracking sound was heard and a black mist appeared and soon Dark stood in the place of the black mist.

Barwolf swallowed hard when he saw his new visitor and fell down to his knees.

His presence and aura alone made everyone in the Palace all fall down to their knees.

Dark smiled when he saw their reaction to his presence, they always have that effect whenever he is around. He returned his gaze to the man he hates the most. Because of that stupid promise he made to little Raziah he hasn't come to torture him.

"Barwolf, Barwolf." Dark said walking towards him, his vile smirk making Barwolf shaking. "Raziah, where is she? She has something that is mine."

"She left not too long ago to the Vampire Kingdom." Barwolf answered, thinking Dark will leave and go in search of Raziah in the Vampire Kingdom.

"Oh, I see, I will have to wait for her," Dark said. "While I wait for her, don't make me get bored." He added.

***

Vampire Kingdom:

Raziah arrived at the gate that leads inside the Vampire kingdom but the guards there all blocked the entrance.

Bending down to start whispering to her horse.

"We were ordered not to allow you in here and if you don't turn back we will be forced to figh-" the blonde male Vampire didn't get to complete his words when Raziah jumped out of her horse and on him. Her fingers changed into sharp long pointy claws and tore off his head like a piece of cake and fling his body like a football which flew upwards and out of sight. And with her two claws hands she squeezed the head in it and gave the others guards a lopsided smile. Her eyes changed to that of her wolf.

"If you want to join him, come on." she told them and began laughing like a maniac.

___

The Vampire King, Jold, was in a meeting with his Vampire council which contains 5 people when the door of their meeting room was kicked open and Raziah strode in, her body and gown covered in blood. She was dragging one of the guards with one of her hands and the spear was in her other empty hand and when she had gotten their attention, she marched the head of the Vampire guard which burst open and his brains fell out.

"What are you doing here?" King Jold demanded. He was surprised to see Raziah, he could recognize her.

"Better tell your people to go and clean up the mess I made at your gate. Your guards managed to stay on their feet for 30 seconds before they met their death. They did you proud Jold." Raziah answered him.

"What do you mean?" Jold asked, pretending not to know what Raziah was saying.

"Protecting your kingdom against me from entering won't shake me. I am here. I am finally inside your kingdom." Raziah told him. "Next time when you give out an order make sure that they are two times stronger than me, I." she pointed at herself with pride. "I am a class on my own."

"I didn't tell anyone to fight you," King Jold said with a bit of a trembling voice. "Why will I ask them to fight you when they know your reputation? We all know how strong you are. You defeated the giant Kingdom, we heard about it so why will I give them orders to fight you." he added lying through his teeth. He did give out the orders. In fact the meeting they were having was about Raziah. Information had reached him of how Raziah had saved the Hobgoblin Kingdom and how the Queen had agreed to her terms. He had sent for his council for them to put their heads together to protect their kingdom against Raziah since they don't know which kingdom will be her next.

"I don't care, you know why I am here, right?"

"Yes." King Jold admitted.

"It's King to you." Raziah snarled out.

"I'm sorry my King." Jold apologize, forcing himself to say those words.

"Good, now, I am here so that you can hand over your kingdom to me peacefully or let it end in war. And may I remind you that in war, I will kill you." She told him.

"It hasn't reached like that my King. I have a question."

"Don't expect me to answer any stupid question you ask Jold but go ahead."

"We ruled peacefully in our separate kingdoms for centuries until you were born and now you want every kingdom to be under you." King Jold said but got Interrupted by Raziah.

"Every fuc.king one of them."

"Why?" He asked.

"Because I want it. I know it may be hard for you to accept the changes but your hatred of me won't stop me from doing what I want from your kingdom. You will still be the King but you will answer to me and if you refuse, war. There will be war and you Jold will regret ever going against me. I will give you time to think. Do have a good day ahead." she told them and left, passing the Vampire Prince who didn't even bow to her, he was staring at her.

Stopping and turning slightly to look at him in fury. He was her height or a bit taller than her, muscular and was handsome. His red eyes matched with his short red hair sparkling as he couldn't tear his gaze off her.

"Should I remind you what to do when you see me?" Raziah asked in anger.

"You're beautiful, so beautiful and your blood smells very nice to me." the handsome Prince, whom she is yet to know his name, said, his fangs slowly coming out.

"What did you say?" Raziah gritted out, her claws coming out. She hates being called 'beautiful' because it brings bad unwanted memories to her. Those were the words her father had called her when he had disvirgined her. She has hated those words with passion.
