On the way to Finrad

I always thought I would live a quiet life, study, work, maybe raise a family and die as a normal human usually does, see my children grow up and die of old age, it was not a dream or anything like that it was just a normality that at some point I would have liked to have, however a year has passed since I met Lilith but I was only one day with her, I joined her and the Lily on my forearm is the proof of that, but on that day several things happened that were totally away from the "Normal" in an ordinary human, I saw a hint of what this world can offer, I was a particle of this great world, I formed a bond with an ancestral beast, we were chased, we were attacked, I was kidnapped, I almost died, perhaps and as a result of all this, I spent a year training with Luna, it was not wasted time I learned several things, I could understand myself and know the new me, now I am a complete demon something that only in movies and series could be seen, but living it in the flesh is a different matter, in this world the strongest is right, the power reigns over logic, murder, torture is something that usually happens.

One year 

A year in which I discovered all the new qualities that my body acquired, strength, speed, endurance, regeneration, skills, water creation and liquid manipulation, I knew that one day I would have to put into practice everything I learned from Luna and develop even more by my own experience, in the confrontation against those aspiring "Chosen" I could deploy a little of what I learned, however, it was simple to do it Am I really so strong? is what I was thinking unconsciously but as if it were an executioner appeared above me, Lucifer, a head of the family, one of the points of power that any demon would like to reach, the peak of power only below the King himself.

As an absolute force he received and did what he wanted and my attacks had no effect on him, if it wasn't for the help he probably would have died, if he wasn't playing with me, he would have died on the spot, but we managed to escape, not as intact as I would have liked but we managed to escape from that place. 

Despite all that I didn't think it would come to this point....

I'm standing in the center of the city no matter which way I look, a lot of Elves are on guard staring at me with spears and bows threatening to shoot at me at any moment, I didn't think I would end up involved this way but somehow it should be my fault.

Lilith, Aisha and Anastasia must be on their way to that place.

Did these elves move their entire army? I can feel the presence of 7000 elves around me alone but there is something that serves as a relief.

-They are weaker than me

It's a tacit truth, deploying all this armada just to deal with me is proof enough.

-Surrender or die

An elf who seems to be the commander says while observing every movement of my body. 

You don't have to think too much to know the answer

-I refuse 

I answered unleashing a great whirlpool of water around me.

***

A few days earlier 

While they were walking through the forest

-Aaah...

-What's wrong?

Lilith has been sighing tiredly for a few minutes now. 

-There's a certain creeping cat prowling around the surroundings

She said as she turned her gaze towards Aisha. 

Although it's true that Aisha took a strange attitude when she woke up and asked to be part of a supposed Harem that apparently I'm going to form, I don't fully understand why she reacted that way, but I can sense the reason, she is in this place alone and in a way I owe her for having helped us, even though I can't fully understand, I know she is not in love with me and I don't think she likes me either, and I sincerely believe that Lilith would have killed her if I hadn't stopped her. 

Although in one way or another Aisha manages to appease Lilith. 

-Are you talking to me?

Aisha answers feigning ignorance. 

Lilith narrowed her eyes at the sight of her and put her arms around my body as we walked. 

-It shouldn't be long now 

Intervenes Anastasia who is leading the way. 

Anastasia is another woman that I don't quite understand, who is she? It's an enigma I have, the idiot prince seems to know her and their relationship is strange. 

But I didn't want to ask more than necessary 

We've been walking for a couple of hours, I wish Aqua was here, but I still feel like she's inside my body healing me, although of course, receiving an attack from Lucifer and being able to walk is already an accomplishment.

-Why are you so attached to Lucas?

Aisha approaches me and tries to move Lilith away from my body. 

-Ah?!

Lilith turns her eyes away with a great thirst for blood emanating from her body. 

-Don't make a fuss

Intervened Anastasia turning to us. 

This black-haired witch is the one who gets upset for no reason.

Aisha pouts as she averts her eyes. 

-Ooh, but you want that witch's man, right?

Lilith jumps on me and kisses me. 

Haaa just play along....

I hold Lilith's body with my hands while we were walking through the forest. 

Suddenly I feel an impact on my back and it's Aisha trying to jump on me. 

I reflexively grab one of her legs with one of my hands and she pulls her body against me.

Lilith who noticed that bites hard on my lips and blood begins to gush out filling my mouth with a ferrous taste. 

-I did it...

Aisha whispers in my ear, but instantly Lilith hits Aisha in the head making her fall down. 

-So that's how it is...

Aisha starts to overflow with bloodlust while Lilith laughs placidly and gracefully. 

At the moment when Aisha was about to jump on me again, Anastasia intervenes 

-You two are like oil and water, you really can't get along.

-The crazy one is her who always has intentions of killing me.

Said Aisha annoyed 

-If you wouldn't try to put your whole disgusting body on Lucas maybe just maybe he wouldn't try to kill you.

Lilith answered laughing 

Anastasia sighed resignedly 

-Keep quiet, we are coming

I looked up and I could see the exit of the forest.

After walking a little more we came out of the forest and in front of us a big meadow stretched for some kilometers, but in the center of it all a big city was planted surrounded by big walls. 

-Before your eyes the city Finrad

Anastasia said as she looked from a distance towards the city. 

-Will we be able to enter?

I asked feeling curious 

-Honestly no, at least not now.

-What do you mean?

Lilith asked still standing over me 

-Their energy is very deferent, anyone who can perceive it will know what they are, and they don't seem to be hiding it....

-Aaah...

I certainly never tried to hide it... 

-If it's just hiding it it's easy

Said Aisha as she turned off any sign of energy inside her. 

-That... works...

Anastasia is amazed by Aisha. 

Following her example Lilith and I, we hid our presence, of course Lilith being Luna's daughter will definitely be able to do it easily. 

-Well physically they are not that different from the Elves except for the ears, but I can fix that.

<< Delusio >>

-Should be fine now

I still don't understand how she does it....

After that we started walking in the direction of the city. 

-I told you before but in this city there is a Succession War going on, so you should be careful.

-Hmm 

Ideally I wouldn't want to be involved in that, but... I have a bad feeling about it. 

-I don't think there will be any problems

Said Aisha sounding confident 

-I warned them

Anastasia leads the way, however Lilith has been silent for a while now, she seemed irritated with the idea of going to the city. 

-Is something wrong?

I asked looking at Lilith 

-Elves are... disgusting....

She said sounding annoyed 

Although honestly I can't have a bad image of the Elves, you always show them as nature lovers and all that kind of stuff. 

-Why do you say that?

I asked

-Most male elves are like that prince.

-Really?

Lilith nods her head 

On the other hand Aisha looked very relaxed, if she comes from a family that collects information she should be aware of all that, right?

While I was immersed in my thoughts something caught my attention. 

A considerable amount of energy was gathering inside the city. 

-Is that normal?

I asked with curiosity, Lilith and Aisha also noticed it. 

-Sometimes

Said Anastasia 

A great arrow of fire appears over the city. 

-Will it destroy the city?

Aisha asked 

-I don't think so

Answered Anastasia 

-Although the arrow is big, it doesn't have that much destructive power.

Added 

But... because I feel it is pointing towards us....

Almost instantly the arrow shot out towards us. 

I extended my hand to the front and a whirlpool of water formed in the palm of my hand and when the arrow touched my hand it disappeared without a trace. 

What a nice welcome
