Cursed By The Moonlight - Chapter 81
Athanasia and Ophelia travelled from Altum to Semel to enter Terra.
In Semel, he was greeted by her brother, Zuriel.
“Athanasia, I’ll be rooting for you!”
Her brother Zuriel’s appearance is extraordinary. She heard the lower rank demons talk about him once and they were enchanted by his looks. However, if you look closely, he has many scars all over his body and the most visible was on his face. It looks like a burned scar.
It was obvious that Zuriel’s scars came from the countless battles he went through. He was in the frontline after all. A lot of creatures and supernatural beings have tried to cross Semel.
The most recent one was the battle with the Lamia or the vampires. They were powerful beings who were exiled from the Underworld because they couldn’t control their thirst from the Terrans’ blood.
The vampires have been trying to take over the Underworld for centuries. Zuriel was the third demon who guarded Semel. The first two have been defeated.
“Zuriel, once my task is done, I will choose you and fight for you.” She said, seriously.
Zuriel was surprised. He didn’t expect one of his siblings to choose him.
“Are you sure? You are the only princess who chose to fight with me.” Zuriel couldn’t believe it and wanted to make sure about what she said.
“Brother, I believe you will be a great king. You are a powerful demon and you deserve to become the king.” She answered while staring directly into his brother’s eyes.
Zuriel’s eyes were like flames of fire. His pointed nose compliments his full bottom lip. His masculine and toned muscles will make every girl drool.
Zuriel patted his sister’s head and smiled.
“You really are different from all the princesses. I will be waiting for your return, little sister.”
He then turned his gaze to Ophelia. Athanasia was surprised when Zuriel suddenly pulled Ophelia into his arms and kissed her.
‘What the hell is going on here?’ She thought inwardly. No one ever told her that these two have this kind of relationship. Or did anyone know about it?
She saw Ophelia blushed when Zuriel released her.
“Go! I will be waiting for both of you.” He said with a wide grin on his face.
She decided to ask Ophelia later so they continued to walk to the gates of the Underworld.
“There are seven gates of the Underworld and we will choose Acharon, the river of the dead. This is the fastest way to enter Terra. Once we reach the end of the river, we will have to fly from there so I suggest you use your wings. Your slave is in Aramoor City and you also lived there. Before we go to your house, we have to find the Terran. He might be dying already at this moment. Remember, he cannot die. He’s the only slave chosen by the Moirai. If he dies, you could never come back here.” Ophelia explained.
She nodded and took a deep breath before they continued their journey.
At the end of the river was a waterfall cliff, surrounded by the vast ocean and the vibrant blue sky.
She looked at Ophelia, trying to figure out how she would fly out of the cliff.
“I don’t ride in brooms. That’s too old fashioned.” Ophelia said while she sprayed something into her body.
After a minute, she began floating in the air.
“Come on!” She shouted.
Athanasia focused and as her red eyes lit up, her black wings started to come out slowly. Her wings were beautiful and perfect. It was nearly as tall as her, bending off her back like reflecting the surface of a concave mirror.
She extended her huge wings and flapped them slowly at first. Then she soared above, gliding and sailing through the air. It was the first time she left the Underworld.
As she continued to fly through the boundless blue sky, she stopped and turned around to see Acharon.
‘I will come back no matter what! Wait for me, brother.’ She thought to herself.
“Ophelia, do you know where to find that Terran?” She asked while they flew as fast as they could.
She won’t allow him to die. He should stay alive until her time in Terra is up. Then she would devour his soul so she could return home.
“Yes. He’s in a hospital parking lot. We should hurry Athanasia!” Ophelia answered.
Looking at Ophelia’s face, the Terran’s condition seems bad. She flapped her wings faster and flew to where her slave was.
She felt like the sky and ocean was endless. They’ve been flying for an hour at full speed but she still couldn’t see any land.
She was already getting pissed when she saw a huge terris. And as they got closer, she could see the tall buildings towering and boasting towards the sky. Ophelia used her magic to make them invisible.
Aramoor City is the main capital of Oprea, a terris with an area of around five hundred fifty kilometers and a population of nine million Terrans.
Athanasia has been studying different terris in Terra so she wasn’t really surprised how it looks. However, she was still new to this world and there are still a lot of things she needs to know.
“That’s the hospital!” Ophelia shouted, pointing at a small building.
She flew towards the building and looked around the parking lot. Good thing it wasn’t in the basement.
As she kept on searching for the Terran’s car, she suddenly smelled an intoxicating scent. It smells like a woody, spicy scent yet sweet and warm. She frowned and looked around. She followed the smell and found it coming from a red ferrari.
She couldn’t understand why her heart started beating faster as she slowly came down and hid her wings.
The smell became stronger and it’s making her insanely wild. She felt like her monster was losing control inside her and wanted to get out.
When she walked towards the car’s door, she saw the man who was fated to be her slave.. Alistair Cohen.
