Chapter 21

Anubis left the class and walked over to the fire elemental class to wait for Telma who was already done with her own classes,she came out and bowed slightly to Anubis who frowned at her,

"Don't bow to me in public,i am keeping a low profile here? do you get it?!" she said to Telma who nodded in response,Anubis glanced at her for a brief moment and started walking,Telma followed her behind immediately....they were about leaving the school compound when Zenel called Anubis from behind,she turned around and waited for him to come meet her,

"I have something to say to you,if you don't mind" he said looking at her,Anubis signaled for Telma to excuse them and nodded and left the two to talk,

"What is it you want to tell me?" Anubis asked Zenel,

"It's about my friend Uriel.....I just want to tell you a bit about him so you can decide if what you did to him was good or bad...We both are orphans that lived in an orphanage,we were very unlucky to not have awakened our own element and because of it we were treated badly and unjustly,at a time...we ran away from the orphanage where we were staying because of the treatment we were given,having no one to take care of us as kids,we did manual labor for people and other works for years until we saved enough for our school because we wanted to awaken our own element,it took us five long and terrible months in order to do it because we were poor and had no money to afford the air elemental grade seed which we needed to awaken the air element.....we were scorned by our fellow students,but at last we eventually awakened it and that was how my friend changed,he wanted so much to be strong so he could deal with anyone that talks bad about him or i myself,he joined a group of gangs and they turned him into a whole different person leading to the character he portrayed earlier today.....my friend Uriel isn't like this,he was pushed by the treatments we were given by the people around us and he wanted to put an end to it by becoming arrogant and vile" Zenel paused as he stared at Anubis,she wore an emotionless face and he sighed in hopelessness," it's not going to be helpful at all" he said inwardly and continued " for what he said to you today,i am sorry on his behalf,but i think you actually went far...you almost killed him if not for the lecturer's intervention....the healer said he can't perform any magic again and his inner core is damaged,he's dying slowly in hopelessness and as a friend i can't do anything,i don't want want to loose him yet,you have to do something....anything at all,he needs his powers back or he'll do something bad to himself...i have to go now,bye" Zenel said all he wanted to say and left immediately without waiting to hear anything from Anubis whose emotionless face twitched slightly the moment he left,she balled her fist and threw a punch in the air in frustration.

She got home later and went upstairs to her room she sat on the ground with her legs crossed and summoned the three fire elementals,when they came out of her they bowed together at her

"How can we help you,your highness?" the first elemental asked

"I want to help a friend whose lost his inner core and can't perform magic,what can i do?" Anubis asked in worry,the three elementals looked at each other before the second one decided to talk instead,

"There's only one way to it....but unfortunately there's nothing you can do about it" the second one replied,Anubis frowned at what he said

"What way is that,and why can't i do it?" she asked hesitantly

"Hmm, you have to become a demon lord, that way you can turn him into a lesser demon to keep him alive,but you won't be able to stand the requirements though you have little dark elements in you but it won't still meet any of the requirements" the first elemental said

"What requirements?" Anubis asked

"There's a place called 'den of the demon lord' its in the realm of demons ,the current demon god lives there,all you have to do is go there cut out his heart while he's asleep and eat the heart,that is the only way you will become the next demon god,you must not be seen by him or his lesser demons or you won't leave the place alive"

"How do i get there?!"
