Chapter 8

I was beginning to get bored of this chase. This mother fucker was the last dark soul and he happens to be so unlucky that he tried to play with the wrong human.

I speed past countless trees, blocking him at several turns until I finally came to a stop. " this is getting annoying " I stick out my hand and a sword surrounded by dark vapour appeared. I swung the sword, and instantly the forest was covered in thick dark mist that only I could go through, trapping him with me in the middle. " you are stubborn aren't you?"

" my....my lord " completely terrified. He fell on his knees, robbing both palms as he begged for mercy. " I.....i..i....sorry "

" so you do know how to beg " slowly walking up to him

" my...my lord, please, please. Have mercy" I stood in front of him, looking down at the weak soul. The weak ones are always the most stubborn. I would have let him go but as I said, he tried to mess with the wrong human " please "

" hasssss. " I dip my pinky finger in my eye, clearing the dirt that I was hearing for this asshole " seriously " I hate whining, it irritates me " just shut up already " I swung my sword and instantly the forest went silent. His head fell off his body, turning into dark ashes and the body followed afterwards.

Slowly the mist vanished, returning the forest to its natural form. " I finished this quicker than planned " whispered to myself. And I knew why. I needed to leave the humans, to leave her before it becomes difficult to. " come out now, I know you are out there " I said out loud while putting my sword away. I heard little movement before he finally revealed himself, from the trees. This stubborn fellow. I told him not to come down here. He has been following me for a while and I could sense his presence, no matter how he tries to hit it. I always knew. I have lived too long to be tricked by powers like his " Relic I thought I made it clear that I don't want you down here" he bit his lower lips nervously

" My lord you have been out for 6 days, I even sent you an alert on a situation two days ago but you didn't respond " he explained while taking a few steps closer

" only 6 days? It had been over three weeks down here " I rolled my eyes. Times run slower in the underworld and it is frustrating " you know I am being to reconsider stepping down. I get bored up there " said

" you get bored everywhere my lord " Relic marked and he spoke fact.

" Unfortunately you are right " nodding in agreement. There was silence between us for a while " you've been following me, I am certain you know what is going on " breaking the silence

" yes." He looks down. " is she really the one? " he asked " your mate?"

" yes. " in a soft tone. I turn around and began walking, immediately he followed beside me

" so what now, my lord?" Deep curiosity in his tone.

" make sure history doesn't repeat itself," I said " make sure we don't cross part again. I only brought her pain in the past and I can't let that happen again. She deserves a normal life "

"But sir. Can you stand the pain?" He sounded worried " I mean there was electricity between you two. It will make things hard for you both, especially you my lord " I gazed at the fellow beside me and smirked

" I never knew you care about me this much "

" you say that over a million times now " he rolled his eyes at me

" I see you are beginning to get too comfortable with me, aren't you? "

" Forgive me my lord " instantly realizing his mistake, he gave a slight bow " but my lord the situation I alerted you about may affect your mate if not addressed immediately " giving the straight-to-business vibe

" what is it?" I came to a stop, and so did he

" Asura " Relic said the name. That name I haven't heard in years. That name could awaken the beast deep inside of me

" what about him?" I notice the tension in Relic's eyes. A sign that tells me I was no longer sounding normal. I could feel it myself

" he is back " Relic broke. And that was all it took

*********************

Boosting into the courtroom with Relic on my right and solder on my left. I was finding it difficult to hold back my emotions. After so long, he returns now, why? Why now?

"Relic I will need you to send a letter to the Supreme Lord asking him to hold a lord's meeting," I said while walking to my throne

" Yes My lord "

" And you," I said to the solder on the other side

" My lord?" He responded

" send men down to the human world to begin the search. If there is even a slight sign of him. I should be informed immediately "

" Yes my lord " the soldier turned around and walked in the opposite direction to carry out the order. I reached my throne and sat down. Completely uneasy about the return of Asura. Why did he return now? Now that she is reincarnated. Why?

" My lord. What about her " Relic asked with his head lifted to look at me. " what if he gets to her? "

" If I am around he will reach her quicker. It is best if I say way for a now " I said confidently on the surface but deep down I don't think I will be able to see her. The moment I returned to the underworld, I was taken by the desire to go see her. And the more I continue to resist I will begin to experience pain. I hope I will be able to survive what is about to hit me

" Damn, my head hurts " Vivian Whinnied as we both stood in front of the bathroom mirror brushing our teeth. I couldn't get over last night, my contact with that strange man.

Who...who are you?"

" someone who brings you nothing but darkness, pain and sorrow,"

His words rang in my head. What did he mean by that? Is he a serial killer or something? Obviously, he is capable of harming someone " Vivian " facing the lady beside me. She had her eyes closed, enjoying her brushing

" Hmmm" was her response

" What does it mean if a person says that I am someone who brings you nothing but darkness, pain and sorrow ?" She opens her eyes and her gaze fell on my reflection in the mirror

" That sounds pretty deep. Who said that?" She sounded funny due to the toothpaste

" Just a guy I met at the club " she immediately spits out the toothpaste " have any idea what it means

" Maybe, he is trying to say he will hurt you, course you pain " she shrugs " now back to this guy, I didn't see you talk to anyone "

"Well you were distracted by young fellow " I spit out the toothpaste and then rinse my mouth

" Oh my. That guy is so cute " blushed then rinse her mouth as well " too bad my love is only for my dear Westy " she sang out loud while I just rolled my eyes at her. I put my toothbrush under the running water to wash. Then return it to the can by the side

" So this guy, does he have a name? " With curiosity in her tone, she reached for her face mask and handed me a pack " to replace the one I borrowed from you," she says

" Thanks. He didn't give me one, he was like I won't be needing it "

" not a phone number?" An eyebrow raised

" no"

" then why did he approach you?" She was totally confused

" no, he didn't. Yes, he did. How will I put this " I did know how to explain it to her " he saved me from someone at the club "

" what do you mean where you harassed?" She panicked

" no, I wasn't "

" then what did he save you from?"

" forget about it. But how do you find someone without a name, address or phone number " taking out the mask gently

" Why do you want to find him? "

" just " I flashed back to do eyes, unique purple eyes, And that first night we met Larisa. That name. " am just curious. I want to know about him. "

" well if you can describe him to the police maybe they can track him "

" I will do that. " I did know why I suddenly had this urge to find him
