The Ruthless Wolf

Two Thousand Years Ago (2,000) in the kingdom of Nevetha......

The war was fierce, all supernatural creatures and their spirit beasts joined forces to fight against King Haule, the demon king of Nevetha.

King Haule saw he was losing, his demon warriors stood no chance against them. It was an unexpected fight and he wasn't prepared. On a normal day, as the second Lord of the supernatural, he would have killed all with just one slash of his Dark curse sword, but not today.

His beloved mate who was pregnant was going through pains which surprised him.

A dragon wouldn't give birth until 1,000 years later, but his wife and mate was a half dragon and a half elf, her delivery date wasn't due so what is wrong?

"Are you all right, Elfey?" He asked worriedly.

They were inside his palace and could hear the clanging of swords and war shouts but Haule didn't care, all his attention and thoughts were on his wife. His kingdom midwife was with them.

"I am okay my love." Elfey replied smiling as she placed her hands on her small bulged stomach.

"This is a false alarm my King."

"Then why the pains?"

"I don't know my King, maybe it's because she is a hybrid and this is the first time a dragon who is an elf will be pregnant."

The door to their chamber opened and a guard came in.

"I'm sorry for barging in, my king and queen." The guard said going down to his knees. "But the Grand King is on his way here and they have conquered the two Gates that lead to this palace, I'm afraid they will soon be in the palace."

"Thank you, you can go. I will join you and the rest soon." Haule waited until the guard had left before he returned his gaze to your wife. "You have to run away my love, I will try to fight and hold them down and that will give you enough time for you to escape with my child."

"I'm not leaving you Haule, no, we promise to be at each other's side even in death." Elfey said with tears. "I can't leave you now."

"You have to save our child, please Elfey."

"Okay, if that will make you happy my love." She said.

King Haule smiled and focused on the midwife. "Grab a few things and take her through the palace secret passageway quickly, we don't have much time." He said. "Please, take care of her."

The midwife nodded her head and quickly did as told, as she had packed a few clothes in the Queen elf magic bag, she lifted up the Queen from her bed.

"Promise me you will be safe?"

"I promise you, once this is over my love, I will find you." King Haule promised.

Queen Elfey smiled and kissed him briefly, they turned to go but he stopped them as he made his Dark curse sword appear in his hands and gave it to his wife. "In case you encounter any obstacles when you escape, you are a great warrior."

"What about you? How will you fight without your sword?"

"I have others, I will be fine." Haule replied, the war chants were getting closer and closer. "Go now my love."

"I love you Haule." Elfey said taking his sword and they left quickly.

Haule made another sword appear in his hands and instead of joining his warriors, he went to his throne room, waiting for them, knowing fully well they would know where he is.

"I can't do this my Queen."

"You have to Pula, I can't leave my mate, please." Elfey pleaded.

"Okay, you've been kind to me and that is why I am agreeing to do this." The midwife now known as Pula said.

"Thank you." Elfey said handing Pula her Dragon egg covered with blood. Her eyes flashed gold and her spirit beast, a black Jaguar with wings appeared before them. "My spirit beast will take you to meet my elves sister's." She gave the sword covered in leather made in fire, given to her by her husband, to Pula. "Only my child or me or my husband can remove the sword from the leather. Give it to my child when he or she comes of age. Thank you for everything Pula."

Pula collected it and climbed on the black Jaguar and it flew away.

Elfey ran back to Nevetha, ignoring the blood pouring out from her stomach and in between her legs.

At An Unknown Place:

"Are you now denying the pregnancy?"

"Look, we are at war with King Haule, I have to be there as the first Lord and the King of all supernaturals. Kill that thing inside you or should I do it for you?"

She gasped out loud. "You are heartless Galore."

"Flower, you know very well that I have a mate and a son. I don't have time for this nonsense, get rid of it."

"You know you have a wife and son and yet you slept with me?" Flower said.

"You are whore who had gladly opened her legs for me knowing fully well that I have a beautiful mate and son. I'm at war, flower, I need to concentrate."

Turning her back on him as the ground beneath them began to turn to ice but that didn't scare the King.

"You can go, go back to meet your mate and son, you won't hear from me again. It was a mistake in the first place." Flower said and an ice portal appeared. "Leave."

"I will gladly do that, taking my handsome self out of your disgusting place." He said.

"You know I love you right?"

"But I don't love you flower."

"Go."

He entered the Portal without another word.

Flying on his eagle spirit beast over to Nevetha kingdom, Galore sighted Queen Elfey fighting the armies who were trying to gain entrance into the palace through the final gate and he flew towards her.

Nevetha Kingdom:

"I am innocent, I am being framed up." Haule shouted as he blocked one of the attacks of the king's. All the king's and the three Lord's of supernatural, circled him.

"You are a traitor." One of King shouted, sending ten swords at once towards Haule, who pieces the swords.

"I am not a traitor." Haule said.

"Of course you are, all evidence is pointing at you." King Galore said as the five Lord's and king's stopped what they were doing and bowed before him.

He fling Elfey roughly towards Haule who caught her and he carried her in his arms in bridal style.

"Are you alright? Why did you come back? Where is our child?" Haule askes immediately.

"From the stench of her blood it seems she had ripped out her egg from her body, poor mate trying to save her child."

"King Galore, you've got to believe me, I am innocent, please order everyone to leave my kingdom." Haule pleaded.

"Too late for that my friend, I am going to make you a scapegoat so that others will learn." King Galore said and he started whistling, closing his eyes and concentrating on the Haule and his mate in his arms, and ignored the Haule cries for mercy.

When he opened his eyes, Haule and Elfey were turned into golden statues.

"Seal up this kingdom and place your Magic spell on this palace Daniel." Galore told the third Lord. "I need to go to my palace, the gods will soon be arriving." He added and left, the other King's and the other two Lord's left afterwards leaving Daniel to his task.

Flower touched her slightly bulging stomach. "Don't worry my child, I will make sure you won't be as fragile as your mother, I will make sure your heart is as cold as ice, more colder than ice."

His Prison

The war against the Nevetha Demon kingdom was over as they conquered it's King and Queen, some of the demon clans escaped and went into hiding and the rest who were not so lucky were captured. All the warriors and palace guards to King Haule were captured and imprisoned.

Galore made his way to his throne room and went to sit down on his throne. At the middle was a round table made of pure gold and ten golden seats surrounded the round golden table, ten minutes later, the two Lord's entered and they went to sit. Few minutes later, the Three Lord's walked in and went to sit down, King Galore stood up from his throne seat and went to sit at the head chair.

They didn't have to wait for long before the supernatural king's, five of them, made their way into the throne room and sat down respectively.

"The gods will soon be here." No sooner had King Galore said those words, Zeus, Ares, Poseidon and Athena appeared before them. The two Lord's and the supernatural king's, except Galore, stood up and bowed before the gods before straightening up.

"What did Haule do?" Athena asked.

"Goddess of wisdom, you should have known by now of Haule treason. He was a traitor who because of the brotherly bond he shared with the devil went behind our back and planned to free him, but we didn't give him that opportunity." Galore replied.

"I see, bring Haule for questioning." Zeus said.

Galore nodded his head and closed his eyes, connecting his mind to Lord Daniel who hasn't come yet.

'Bring the statue of Haule with you now, the gods are here. Don't keep us waiting for long.'

Galore ordered and reopened his eyes and sent a tiny smile towards Zeus's direction.

"Lord Daniel will be here with Haule." He announced.

"He shouldn't waste my time." Zeus said as at the same time a portal opened and Daniel walked out of it, behind him floating in the air was Haule statue. The portal closed behind him. He bowed before the gods as Zeus walked up to him.

"Free him Galore." Zeus ordered and with a snap of his fingers, Haule and his wife Elfey were no longer statues.

"I am innocent." Was the first thing Haule said, holding Elfey closer to his body. "I don't know what is going on."

"You wanted to free Lucifer, do you know the damages you would have caused have you succeed in your plans." Zeus bellowed in anger and slapped Haule hard on his left cheek, leaving imprints of his five big fingers on it.

Haule closed his eyes and breathed in, ignoring the pain, he opened his eyes and stared at Zeus. "There is no point in pleading for my innocence because none of you would have believe me anyway, so I am already for your punishment but please allow my mate to go." He told them, accepting his fate.

He had judge criminals in the past and even when some try to tell him they are innocent, he had given them a deaf ear and had them execute them. Now in their shoes, he now knows how they had felt, you won't know how much you hurt someone unless you are in their shoes, now he had understand better. If he survives this, he won't judge so quickly again.

"You are in no position to tell us what to do you traitor." The King of Fairy, Sundew, said in anger.

Haule stared at the Fairy King who on a normal ground wouldn't dare talk to him in such manner, he was a King and the second Lord unlike some unfortunate King's.

"Daniel check if you will see anything Haule is hiding before we decide his punishment." Zeus told the third Lord who moved closer to Haule and placed his hand on Haule's forehead, closing his eyes.

They were on top of a mountain.

"Please Daniel, help me I am innocent."

"I know you are being framed up, but who could that be? Who could go through all this stress just to frame you up?" Daniel said, his face was filled with thought.

"Help me please, I know you can."

"Is that why you brought me here?"

"Yes, don't make them kill me."

"I will help you on one condition, Haule."

"If it is within my capacity I will do it."

"Your daughter."

"My wife is pregnant and we are having a child, but we do not yet know what gender it is, so why say daughter?"

"You've forgotten I have the power to see the future Haule. And I have seen your future, you will be saved by your daughter if I am going to do what I am going to do but in return, your daughter shall be my bride. She is my destined mate." He lied about the mate thing.

"If she is your destined mate then she will recognize you as hers as well. Mates recognize each other."

"Not your child, you will not understand Haule, but as her father she will listen to you because the day you will be free, is when I will be free too, so deal?"

"Deal."

"Let seal it with a blood oath then." Daniel said and used his sharp nails to tear his left palm open and Haule did the same, they clasped their bloody hands together.

"I promise to give you my daughter once I am free and failure to do so, my life in exchange." Haule said.

"It is done." Daniel said and he opened his eyes.

"What did you see Daniel?" Zeus demanded.

"He is hiding nothing, but for him being a traitor, I know the kind of punishment we should give to a traitor." He responded.

"What punishment?" King Galore asked and Daniel told them. "I like that." He added after Lord Daniel had told Haule's punishment.

"It's sad you are sacrificing yourself to cage this traitor Daniel." Ares said.

"Protecting everyone is my obligation." Lord Daniel said.

"Athena, go get the chains." Zeus ordered and the goddess disappeared.

"Please Zeus, my husband is innocent." Queen Elfey spoke and that's when they remember her. She had heal herself.

Going to meet her, a golden loop appeared in King Galore's hand and he magically made it go around Elfey's neck. The loop suppressed her Powers.

King Galore stopped to look at the Dragon King who waved his hands dismissively at her.

"Take her away, she is no daughter of mine anymore." The Dragon King bellowed in anger. She had disobeyed him when he asked her not to seal the mate bond with the Demon, it was as if he had seen her future with the Demon King. She brought her downfall by herself.

Clapping just once, two of his guards walked into the throne room.

"Take her to the dungeon, there she will live until her last breath." King Galore ordered and they took Elfey away ignoring her cries for mercy.

King Haule didn't do anything as he watched helplessly. One day, he is going to make Galore pay and whoever it is that spread out the fake rumor of him wanting to betray them, better get ready for him in the nearest future.

Athena appeared with the chains and gave it to Zeus who magically made it very long and thick in size.

"Let's go to the river of Abss." Zeus said and King Galore made a portal appear, one by one, the gods and Haule, the five king's, the two Lord's and King Galore entered the Portal, the portal didn't close as usual, rather it remained there.

And soon, they all return except for Daniel and Haule. The portal closed.

"Clean up the mess Galore, find the rest of the demons and put them in prison or to death if they resist." Zeus ordered and was gone together with Ares, Poseidon and Athena.

"You heard Zeus, go back to your kingdoms and search everywhere for demons, they might be hiding somewhere."

The king's left one after the other and two the Lord's left also.

The Lord's were the strongest after the gods and the five king's will have to seek their permission first. They are five Lord's, Galore was the first Lord and also the ruler of the entire supernatural even though some oppose his rulership like the elves, he couldn't get them to do as he says yet. Haule was the second Lord, Daniel was the third Lord, Ralph was the fourth Lord and Jaffa was the fifth Lord.

When Galore was left alone he smiled to himself. His plan has worked. Haule was a strong Demon and with an elf wife, he will become the first Lord and the ruler of the supernatural should he challenge him for the throne. That was why he did what he did to get Haule out of the way.

Who do you think had started the rumor?

The Land of Elves: (Elves Palace)

The Jaguar few them and landed at the palace of Elves and two beautiful elves came out of the palace.

They were both adorned with beautiful ornaments and shiny gowns. On each head were flowers.

"Who are you and what are you doing with my niece's spirit beast?" They both asked together.

"My name is Pula my Queens, your niece sent me here." Pula said as soon as she got down from the Jaguar. "Her kingdom was attacked and she sent me here with her child." She added showing them the Dragon egg and the Sword.

"Bring it to me." One of the Queen, Alfy; who was the oldest, said and Pula brought the large egg to her and the sword. When she gave the egg to Alfy, Alfy removed her hand purposely and the egg fell down to the ground and cracked, but it didn't open.

Pula gasped aloud and bent down to pick the cracked egg and the sword.

"You did that on purpose my Queen, the princess will now be disfigured, that is unkind of you, my Queen," Pula said almost in tears. All her efforts to escape death has gone down the drain.

"Are you accusing me?" Queen Alfy asked collecting the cracked egg and the Sword from Pula.

"You are a servant girl accusing one of the Queen of Elves, do you know the consequences of what you've done? You throw the egg on purpose to the ground when we were not looking." Calfy, the second Queen said. "Guards!" She yelled and the guards came rushing to meet them.

"Seize her." Alfy said and the guards with their magical weapons were able to grab Pula. "Take her away and cut off her tongue and her limbs." She ordered and the guards who were holding Pula dragged her away.

"Sister believes she is better than us just because she got married and bore Elfey before her death. It's a pity her grandchild is with us. Now this child will suffer and who is to blame for her ugliness?" Queen Alfy asked.

"Pula."

They started laughing.

Beginning (Part 1)

Seven (7) Years Later:

At the top of an ice mountain a little boy with white hair, tied in a bun, was seen meditating. Legs crossed, eyes closed, both hands in the air as ice snow fell on him. On his forehead was a red flower drawing. He stayed like that until the moon came out.

Soon, he opened his eyes, his eyeballs were rainbow colors which changed into silver, he breathed in and stood up.

"Let's go home." He called out and a large Leopard made of wind appeared beside him, at his left side.

"I thought you would stay here all night." The leopard said yawning loudly.

"I don't know why he likes involving us in his meditation, have you ever seen a Lion who meditates before?" A large fire Lion said appearing next to the leopard as he stretched himself.

"I think he must have seen one." The leopard responded.

"Then that Lion he saw do not come from my lineage, I could hardly feel my beautiful paws." The fire Lion said and dramatically fall down to the ground, lifting up his four paws to the air.

"Meditating helps clear the mind." The whitehaired boy said, even though he try to make his voice sound soft which failed woefully but they were used to his harsh tone. "If you are lost and you meditate, you will find the right path before you."

"Well good thing I am not lost, I know my way home like the back of my paws." The Leopard said.

"Ice fang doesn't meditate with us and you never force that wolf."

"I wonder what he sees in that wolf that he doesn't see in us." The fire Lion said playfully and stood up on four, wagging his fire tail. "Not that he is stronger than us."

"Ice fang meditate but you jealousy lazy bones won't see it." A new voice joins them, and a very large ice lycan werewolf appears at the whitehaired boy's right side. The ice Lycan was seated with his legs crossed, eyes closed with seriousness, and his sharp claws hands in the air. "And please I am trying to concentrate here so keep your voice down."

"How did you get here?" The Leopard and Lion both ask in surprise.

"Actually, just now and my butt is paining me." The werewolf said standing up on hind feet, his rainbow long tail wrapping around the young boy, who is their master, body and placing him on his shoulder, "I am here to take him home." With that he leapt to the air and was gone, ice falling around in flower forms.

"Show off." The Lion said, rolling his eyes and disappeared, the Leopard was gone too.

_________

"Mother, you did not drink your soup." The whitehaired boy said sadly as he

entered the cave where he lived with his mother.

Flower coughed, her face was pale. She was sick and dying, she had made a huge sacrifice by giving birth to her son. It had drained all her powers and strength but she managed to take care, feed and taught her son how to fight until her body couldn't move again last winter and now her son was taking care of her.

The whitehaired boy carried the soup. "I am going to warm it, mother."

"Don't bother yourself son, seat with me." Flower said and he did. "I will be gone soon and you will be the last of our kind."

"Don't talk like that mother, I am going to find a cure to treat your illness, I just need to concentrate a little more."

Oh, he won't understand. Her illness can't be cured.

Flower thought.

"Listen Winter, long ago we owned the spirits beasts but greediness made them kill our kind and forcefully took away our spirit beasts, I survived because I went into hiding. That is why if you must leave here, no one should know about your true self. You are special."

Flower whispered those words and closed her eyes. "Now go and warm that soup, I am hungry."

Winter turned his back and blew into the soup, it started boiling.

"Your father is the King of the supernatural, his name is Galore." Flower told him.

When Winter turned with the hot soup in his hands, the soup fell from his hands, His mother had almost faded away.

"I hope you don't end up like me Winter." Those were her last words before she faded away, her bed was empty.

Beginning (Part 2)

Winter cried all through the night.

Love had done this to his mother. Many nights he would stay awake and heard his mother crying calling out that name 'Galore'. No one needed to tell him who Galore is, he had already figured it out.

His hatred for the bearer of the name increases.

Galore you just wait for him.

Two Days Later....

Black Lycan Moon Kingdom:

King Galore Castle was filled with people who came to see the wolf Prince with various gifts. It was his birthday and every supernatural trooped to the castle to present gifts for the ten year old prince.

As soon as they gave the young prince their gifts, they left the throne room.

The five king's were present. The gods and the two Lord's were also present. They were in the throne room, seated, eating and drinking as the people troop in to meet the young prince.

Galore, his wife, Queen Lati and their son Blue were seated.

"That's actually a good idea." Zeus said in agreement.

The five king's nodded their heads.

"I'm in support." King Vic, the vampire King said.

"...." The fairy King opened his mouth to say something but paused when he noticed something was wrong.

The rest of them also noticed it. Apart from them, everyone else was freezed, they couldn't move, they were frozen with a bit of ice on them.

"What is going on?" King Galore asked getting up to his feet. Queen Lati carried her son on her lap as the gods, the king's and the two Lord's stayed alert.

Winter entered the throne room as if he owns the place. He heads straight to King Galore and drops the small bag with him on the floor.

"You must be Galore, right?" He asked.

"The nerves. I am Galore, who are you?" King Galore demanded.

"Your son."

"Shut up, my mate doesn't have any other son apart from the one in my arms." Queen Lati said.

"You...." King Galore leapt into the air in anger and changed into his Lycan werewolf, descending on the whitehaired boy who vanished into thin air. "Where is he? I will tear his body into pieces." King Galore said in his beast form.

"I am here."

All of them looked up at the ceiling and saw him there, relaxing with his eyes close.

"I am just buying you time to decide which idea you prefer."

King Galore roared and leapt towards him once again and Winter used his index finger to push the approaching Lycan back.

King Galore fell down to the floor but was back to his feet and Winter was suddenly in his face.

"Choose, you are wasting my time Galore." Winter said pinning Galore to the ground. He couldn't move.

"What are you all waiting for, fight him."

The five king's and the two Lord's were the first to attack.

"Windy." Winter whispered softly and the wind Leopard appeared, large and it caged them, they couldn't see what was holding them.

Ares was the first god who made a move to attack Winter.

"Stay out of this." Winter said as he freezes Ares by touching him in his feet. Poseidon came next and tried to use his water power to attack but Winter was fast to grab his hand, not releasing him even when Ares tried to free his hand.

"I can't really see through him." Athena's voice was heard.

"Weren't you told to mind your busine" Winter didn't get to finish his sentence when Zeus punched him hard and the punch sent him flying, hitting one of the walls hard which cracked.

"Whoever you are or wherever you come from, don't mess with the gods. We are your superio" Zeus halted and shouted in pain when he felt Winter icy hand on the hand he had used to punch him. He screamed again when Winter with one tug removed that arm completely.

"You might be the superior in whatever hole you crawl out from, but here, I am the King." Winter said and started to ice the arm in his hand. He walked to where Galore was and smiled coldly, ignoring Zeus who was bleeding. "Which do you choose?" His voice was cold and emotionless.

"The second idea." King Galore responded immediately, full of fear.

Patting Galore's head as a mother would pat her little son's head.

"You choose well Galore." He snapped his fingers and his wind Leopard freed his captives who were shocked and short of words.

"What is your name?" Athena asked but Winter ignored her, she continued, "You did not just fight them, you took some of their powers. You are truly ruthless."

"That's my name." His cold voice sent shivers down the spine of everyone.

Winter had died the night his mother was gone and Ruthless was born.

Beginning (Part 3)

He unfreezes the people and guards and they take to their heels, even though they were freezed they could still see what happened.

He made the arm of Zeus, which he had iced, to disappear.

He walked steadily to where Queen Pati was and stared at her son, Blue.

"You are just lucky you had it all." He said and turned to face Galore. "I need to rest, take me to my room." He told his father and released his hold on him.

Galore was quickly up to his feet and changed into his human form.

"Come with me." Galore whispered almost to himself but Ruthless sharp ears caught the words.

With no words exchange, they left the throne room as Zeus and the gods disappeared.

1,992 Years Later........

The Land of Elves: Vala POV

The sound of a chain making noise draws the eyes of everyone in the market to the bearer of those chains, me.

According to my guardians, when I was born, those chains came with me, sticking to me like a second skin. The chain wrapped around my waist twice and did a X sign across my chest, getting inbetween my breasts, and circling my two wrists. The more I grew the more it expanded in size and the weird thing about my chain is that it's never heavy on my body and it knows my emotions. Apart from that, I know how to use it to defend myself, my chains aren't normal ones, it is magical.

You see, I'm not a normal elf, I'm taller than the whole elves in this land including my guardians, 5'9 when most elves are just 5'1 or 5'2 . I don't really have pointy ears like the rest of the Elves.

"Good morning Vala." An elf, a young woman, greeted me as I stopped besides her table. We elves don't grow old. The dark cloak I was putting on didn't hide the chains in both of my wrists and so as they make noise, it attracts everyone.

I totally ignored the whispers going around me as my focus was on the old elf.

"Morning Ratha, I am here for the apples." I said with a smile.

"Why do they like to stress you, why can't Princess Haera send a servant to get the apples for her?" Ratha asked, putting some apples into a basket.

Ratha had once worked in the palace before her retirement so we trusted her. I like her a lot cus she really understands me.

"I'm used to it." I answered with a shrug and waited patiently for her to park some apples in a small basket and gave me two baskets instead of one.

"The other one is for you Vala." She told me sweetly.

"Thank you Ratha." I said as I took the two baskets from her. She was the only one who didn't see me as a freak and two others in the palace.

When I turned to go, the people were still staring at me. I walked back to the palace, pretending not to notice their stares and whispering. Long time ago, when I was young, I would have cried out my eyes at their stares and their side talks, not now. I am almost one thousand years old and I have grown tough.

I arrived at the palace and headed for Haera's room.

Haera and I are related, Queen Alfy and Queen Calfy, who are my guardians, had told me my mother had died before she gave birth to me and they had to tear her stomach to bring out my egg, me, before I die.

I owe them for saving my life and that was why they had turned me into their slave, especially Queen Alfy's daughter, Haera. Even though I live in the palace, have my own nice room and clothes, I am still treated like a servant, but I am used to it.

Knocking on Haera's door.

"Come in." Her beautiful voice was heard and I went in.

Haera is the prettiest elf in the whole Land, no female elf in each clans can match her beauty. She is not only beautiful but a strong fighter. Her stunning black eyes that guys would kill for, just for her to stare them, stared at me irritatedly. Her black hair which wasn't that long was tied in a ponytail.

"Here are your apples." I said dropping one of the baskets besides her and turning to leave.

"Who has the other one you are carrying fatso?" Princess Haera asked me.

Did I forget to mention I'm a plus size, like I have more flesh than any elf here.

"Mine, Ratha gave it to me." I replied to her and didn't wait for another hurtful word from her before I left her room.

I carried my basket of apples and went to the center of the palace, where a lady who is a non elf, was chained. She had served my mother and afterwards betrayed her, as if that was not enough, she murdered my father. And now, to average my parents death, she is being punished, chained to a wall of the palace without a roof. That's where she stays or should I say live.

I was told she was the reason why I am this way. The left side of my face, half of my face, was cracked. Four cracks that trail from my face down to my stomach, it just takes the mercy of the gods that my face didn't fall off. I can't really see with my left eye, the lines from the crack started from my left eye. You know that feeling when you are looking into a deep dark hole and you can't see anything? Yeah, that's how my left side face.

Years back, I was always ashamed of my hideous look and thankfully, I have long hair which I use to cover the side of my face, but looking at the woman who had caused it, she is without a tongue and hands and yet she was always smiling especially when she sees me and that smile alone means a lot to me, no one hardly smile at me, even Haera.

I have learned to forgive Pula for what she did and embrace myself, we can't change and dwell in the past. Remember I told you there are two more people who like me the way I am apart from Ratha? Pula is one and the second one is the palace cook.

I took an apple and brought it to her mouth.

"Eat." I said to her.

Pula sent me a smile before she began to eat the apple. Once she finishes eating one, I will give her another one and since she doesn't have hands, I feed her.

"I will try to speak to my guardians on your behalf so that they will allow you to have a bath. Sorry to say this but you are stinking a lot." I told her hoping she's not offended. She smiled the more and continued eating.

"Your presence is needed Vala, in the throne room." A guard who had approached told me, covering his nose.

I drop the basket besides Pula. "Continue feeding her until I return." I told the guard who widened his eyes as he stared at me in shock. "What happened to your eyes? Why are they wide?" I asked. "If I return and you haven't fed Pula, you will have me to contend with, remember, I am related to your Queens." I reminded him and left. "And don't forget to give her water." I shouted.

______

Entering the throne room, I saw Queen Alfy and Calfy and some of the elves elder's and greeted them. Queen Calfy had just given birth to a girl who was seeping in her arms.

"You sent for me."

"Yes we did." Queen Alfy said. "Tomorrow we are going to the arena with our students."

"Please be careful on your way to the arena aunt." I said.

"I mean all of us will be going." Queen Alfy said.

I look at the elders before me. "Please you all should be careful as you journey to the arena tomorrow."

"Vala, don't joke with me. You are following us to the arena tomorrow, now you are going to make sure we take the first position just like the way you've been doing." Queen Alfy said.

You see, finishing in the elves school isn't that hard but gaining admission into the supernatural where you will meet various supernatural creatures, is very hard.

Tomorrow at the arena, the whole students of various kingdoms will gather and we will be given a task each more like a death task, the first, second and third kingdoms to win will be accepted to study in the supernatural school.

My job is to make sure my team emerges the winner, taking the first position, and that I have been doing for the past three hundred years.

The Task:

Vala POV:

"I will try my best and make sure we emerge first before others." I said.

"Not just your best Vala, but your very best, don't make us fail." Queen Calfy spoke and stared at her sister before facing me.

Then here comes the blackmail.

"Without us you would not be alive today, without us, you won't survive this harsh world a day, without us, you won't be accepted anywhere. But we look after you, clothed and fed you since you came out of your egg and don't forget we patch up your egg when that evil Pula throws it against the wall, you own us Vala, you own us victory. Don't forget your place." Queen Calft told me.

Going down on my knees and I bowed before them, allowing my face to touch the ground.

"Thank you for looking after me all these years, I am very grateful for that. I am making you a promise that I won't fail in the task tomorrow and I also know my place."

"Good, go and rest, you have a long day tomorrow." Queen Alfy said and I stood up to my feet and left their presence.

I heaved out a sigh and went back to meet Pula. The guard was still there and was feeding her like I had instructed, a cup of water was besides him.

"Thank you." He didn't even wait for me to complete my statement when he nodded his head and bolted out as fast as lighting.

I chuckled and focused on Pula and try to feed her more apples which she rejected. "Are you full?" I asked and she nodded her head. "I have to rest for tomorrow." I told her and she tried to make some words. "Are you asking why?" She nodded her head again. "Tomorrow we are going to the arena and whoever wins will be accepted in supernatural school, so I have to rest my muscles to help my fellow lazy elves to win. See you soon." I told her and left her with the remaining apples in my basket.

I met Dew on my way to my room, she is the palace cook and the last person who isn't scared about my appearance.

"I heard you are going with the other elves to the arena Tomorrow, is it true?" She asked me as we started walking towards my room. She was holding a covered plate and from the aroma I know it is roasted chicken.

"Yes."

"You always help them to win Vala but what I find strange and surprising is that you won't follow them to the supernatural school or are you not interested in seeing other supernatural creatures than elves?"

"Dew, I have no reason to leave the land of Elves and besides I am forced to do this. Have got to win tomorrow so that you won't get punished by my two aunties." I replied to her.

"Why don't you just give it a try, I know you are going to be the first amongst the rest but at least give the supernatural school a try, don't dwell in the land of Elves forever."

"Why do you always persist that I should leave for supernatural school?" I asked her.

Dew is something else, she was the first person to tell me not to hold any grudge on Pula in her words:

"I see a lot of things Vala but I can't say it for fear of my life, but I can tell you this, Pula is the opposite of what the two queens had told you and if possible, find a place in your heart to forgive her and I pray that one day the truth will come out."

I had always pondered on what she meant by the truth but didn't push further.

"Just give me one reason why I should go to the supernatural school?" I asked, stopping to face her, which prompted her to stop and face me.

"Because you participated in the task and you won, you don't have to forfeit because you think they own your life Vala, wake up and face the reality." Dew tried to convince me but I wasn't.

"Dew, just save the strength and go and give the owner of the door his or her food, I have no interest in going to the supernatural school, not today or tomorrow, in fact forever." I told Dew.

"Actually the food is for you, when I heard you will be going to the arena tomorrow I had to quickly prepare you, this roasted t." She told me and gave me the plate of roasted chicken.

"Thank you Dew."

"Vala, just know that life doesn't stop for anybody, probably you might find the truth which I fear to speak." Dew told me, turn back and left me staring at her retreating back.

To be sincere with myself, I am much okay with not finding out this truth she always spoke of.

I shrug my shoulders and continue my way to my room to eat.

The following day, I had already taken my bath and changed into one of my clothes.

I left my room and I saw my two aunties and those who had graduated from our Elves school, they were four of them.

Four of the best and brilliant students are always picked to compete in the task.

"Good morning aunties." I greeted them.

"I was about to send someone to call you." Queen Calfy said as she held her little daughter in her arms.

Princess Haera came to meet us, next year she will graduate from the elves school and I know for certain she would be pick even when she's dull.

"Let's go." Queen Elfy said and rubbed her hands together. A large flying mat flew to us and we stepped in and it flew us to the arena.

When we arrived, there were other supernatural creatures there, the Vampires, Wolves, Witches, Dragons and so many supernatural creatures.

My two aunties with Princess Haera went to sit with the rest of the king's, in that way, all the king's and the Lord's will be watching us.

I and the four elves went to stand in a line, me in front as their leader. The rest of the supernatural stood in their own lines with their teams and leaders in front.

I have no interest in going to the supernatural school. And I will do all it takes to retrieve King Galore's sword from the demon.

Winning And Revelations (Part 1)

Vala POV:

I twist my head to stare at my two guardians and their eyes spoke the same words.

'Don't you dare lose or else....'

I breathed in and out and waited for the signal.

"Go!" The announcer shouted and the race began.

I waited and allowed other supernaturals to enter the cave first, in that way they won't say I cheated.

"Vala, you stupid girl what are you waiting for? Enter the cave this minute." Queen Calfy yelled but I ignored her.

The other four elves with me can't go into the cave without me, being the leader, leading them so they waited but I could feel their burning aura behind me.

Once I and my team were the only ones outside, it was time.

"Let's go." I said and I started leading them into the cave.

Entering the cave, darkness greeted us. It was too dark for us to see what's in front of us. I stretched my right hand forward and the chain coiled around my it uncoiled itself and it floated in the air as the chain glowed red, bringing out fire which brightens in the cave.

The cave was supposed to suppress every power, that was how the task had been, but somehow, it couldn't suppress my chains around me.

"Are you not done yet Vala? The rest are getting ahead of us, we need to hurry before they retrieve the sword." One of the elves, a male, told me.

"Then kindly lead the way Mr ahead of us." I said and chain touched the wall, closing my eyes, I saw the whole of the cave, what was inside, the traps and finally where the Demon was being held. I opened my eyes. "Let's go." I said and I ran prompting others to do the same, my chain lightening our way.

I stopped when I faced six tunnels.

"Which one are we going to follow?" The only female apart from me, asked. We are five, three males and two females.

"This is tricky." I answered as I stared at each of the tunnels. I have seen the entire cave and the tunnels leading nowhere. That was why I said it was tricky.

"So what are we going to do, we can't lose to others. We always emerge first Vala, don't fail if not we are going to tell your guardians how you purposely delayed us"

I zoomed out of the stupid male elf threat and slowly looked at the entrance of the tunnels. I saw something just at the top of a tunnel.

I walked to the first one and removed a black half diamond. I also noticed the rest of the five tunnels all have half of the black diamonds. I need to find the piece that fit the one I am holding.

"We need to find the piece that matches the diamond." I told my team, showing them the black diamond in my hand.

"Take one and join it together." The elf girl suggested.

The whole diamond fitted the hold and it went in, and true to my words, a seventh tunnel opened and from it we could hear the growls of the captured demon.

"Tada." I sing out with a smile. I am always right, pen that down, always right. I have never made any mistakes when it comes to solving a problem. I moved back a little so that the six tunnels are facing me and I could see them. "There is a seventh tunnel here guys and the demon is in it." I shouted as loudly as I could and turned to face my team. "Let's go."

"Why did you tell them? You could have waited until we'd retrieve the sword from the demon before we tell them."

"Before they can reach here, we would have already retrieved the sword from the demon, so chill, you are not the one doing the hard work here." I told them.

We entered the tunnel and we started running.

The tunnel leads us to a larger cave where a tall and large demon is, I guess magic is at work again, how can a cave be so tall to fit this large and tall demon? At the entrance of the cave was blue light which blocked the ugly Demon's only escaping route. I saw the sword, hanging at the very rock ceiling. My chain coiled itself back at my right wrist as the fire went off.

I was the first to reach the blue light before my team came.

"How were you able to outrun us when you are fat?" The elf girl asked me as she and the other three male elves were breathing fast.

"Don't let my looks deceive you thin rope." I responded. "Let's get the sword." I told them and we entered the large cave, passing the blue light.

I noticed my team wasn't moving any more, they were stuck in one place. Going to meet the elf girl, I tried to shake her but she was not moving.

What is wrong with them? Did the demon cast a spell on them?

"I was sent here to give you this, my queen." A thick hoarse voice said behind me.

I turned around quickly only to see the Demon on his knees with a pendant.

"What did you do to my team?" I asked the demon as the chains on my both wrists started losing.

"I put them in a trace, they are imagining they are walking around here looking for the sword but they didn't know they are stuck in one place." The Demon answered. "For the rest coming here, I also slow them down."

"Release them this minute."

"Not until you collect this pendant from me."

"And why should I?"

"Don't you want to know who you truly are. I risk my life to get caught just so I would see you and give you this pendant. Do you think they would catch me that easily? The demon war made many of us run into hiding for many years until we heard a rumour of you. The girl who will help the elf win but will reject the offer to go to the supernatural school."

"And if I am not that girl?"

"Well another of my kind would be caught next year to meet her."

"I am not interested in that pendant of yours, I am here to retrieve the sword and we will be on our way out of the cave."

"You are a demon my Princess."

"You are mistaken I am an elf."

"Demon blood flows inside of you, even the chains around you have demon aura. Take this pendant and everything will be revealed to you, someone wants to meet you and he's going to tell you everything."

I ignored the demon, seeing he was spitting out rubbish and did not want to fight, I decided to bring down the sword and force him to release my team.

Weird that he doesn't want to fight.

"Why are you so less concerned about what I just told you. I risk everything and let myself be captured just to meet you and after meeting you, you are throwing my words aside? I guess you don't want to meet your mother."

I stopped right in my tracks and turned to face him, he was still kneeling them.

"What did you say? My mother is dead."

"Queen Elfy, your mother is still alive but being held as a prisoner in Galore dungeon. Take this pendant my Princess and you will understand everything."

I stared at the demon for a full minute before I started laughing. "Nice try, next time, try coming up with a believable lie."
