Pain is something my mortal body has been taught to appreciate, embrace, and never shy away from.
Growing up in Tophet, I was conditioned to have a high tolerance for it and learned it can be a great distraction. A tool.
Although right now, my world is nothing but pain, nothing but blazing agony flowing throughout my limbs and churning every thought in my head until I'm paralyzed.
Which is why, at fi

Princess and her four Princes 151
"You're feeling all right?" I check, fascinated by this beautiful time we’re spending together.Bethany nods and slowly begins to pull her face away.“Beth-”"Shh, it's fine.” She tells me. “No matter how bad Velthra becomes, I will always withstand it.”I watch in utter fascination as she stares right into my face.I smile. It's unusual that anyone can withstand Velthra in this state, with numerous monstrous creatures slipping past us as we speed away.Then again, Bethany grew up in a far darker, unquestionably cruel plane of existence.Soon we arrive at the training ground, and she smiles at me. “Thank you,” she tells me and tugs me along. “Come, the others are waiting."We head straight down the stairs that lead underground. A dim light illuminates somewhere far down the underground pathway, so we drift towards it, turning a few corners.The light is from Hellion holding a torch to Zuri’s face. He’s checking to see if she has any unhealed wounds while fussing over something I have

Removing my fingers, I pull my borrowed outfit over my neck, covering my halo ring completely.Nobody can know about this, especially Bethany.I’m not going to be a liability to her, never.I rise through the ceiling into the next floor of Crestbane directly above the entry hall and stop midair.No wonder all the shouting and screaming has stopped.Fucking Deskar!They're all dead.I drift above the massacre, which is a bit much even for me. Nobles, a few creatures I've only heard stories about, seen in pictures, and some I’ve only seen once in my entire life have been literally ripped to shreds.Their many bodies and flesh now litter the floor and the walls.There is blood everywhere; on the windows and dripping from various surfaces…Several hearts have been ripped out and scattered across the ground. It looks almost as bad as when creatures in Velthra feast on a body, leaving nothing but hollow gore behind.Is this the only hallway where this happened?The gleam of something catche

I drop into Velthra on instinct, which is fortunate because if I'd hesitated a moment longer, I would have ended up dead and gone courtesy of the mighty hunting Mopole that leaps through the air where I was just standing.The bounty hunters are already here. Fuck!"I thought I saw the Vel Morin," a voice says following the frightful Mopole entrance.I turn to observe the newcomers. Two of them have the emblem of Crestbane’s registered bounty hunters on their arms, and the other two don’t.They are markers. They are here to identify the dead and make note of the Nobles who are still alive so that hunters will also hunt them down and eliminate them.But from the looks of determination and distaste on their faces, and the guns they're brandishing, it's clear they're also here for the kill."You must've imagined it. Why the hell would the Vel Morin be here?" One of the bounty hunters asks his colleague."Not to boast or something. But my father is on good terms with Elyraeth, and she told

~Olyon~Who knew the death of Magnus Wrath would affect Velthra in any way?It’s as if a few of the Velthra creatures have gotten the information that Wrath Senior is gone. So, they decided to try and flex their useless power on Wrath Junior.It's not like Wrath Junior can report them to anyone else, right?They are a bunch of jokers because I’ve been fucking tending to Velthra since I realized what I am, and if they are to fear anyone at all, it is me.However, I do think I shouldn't have dumped Magnus’ corpse here in Velthra. It might have triggered some sort of alarm and need.I was just too elated to have the fool fucking dead.Slicing through a bunch of creatures that charged towards me in groups, I sigh as I feel a slice from one of them.It might be from their nails or something.I haven't seen this many creatures in one place for quite some time, and they're nearly as savage as Tophet creatures, which I'm sure might be seeping into Velthra as we speak.The death of fifty perce
Princess and her four Princes 147. Leaving Crestbane with Mort
~Bethany~I see that same realization dawn on the others as Olyon tips his head curiously, Mosley scowls, and Jayan frowns.Jay huffs. "How the fuck did she get in here? I know she saved our lives, but still. Maybe Sad’s old spells are weakening from his transition or something? Is that a thing?"I don't have answers, but I notice Hellion checking over his shoulder at the hallway, which is now filled with smoke and the distant echo of shouting.Clearly, Crestbane University is in chaos after the Liminal order abandoned everything and ran off.A chill runs down my spine, and my senses sharpen painfully. I look back at Zuri. “There are more Tophet-bound creatures in Crestbane?"She blinks. "Yeah, there are. How did you-oh, right! You can sense them, like you sensed that ugly-ass creature back in Torah. We need to get away from here as fast as possible. It's mayhem out there, and I want to just go home to my mom and…" Zuri's voice breaks, and she takes a deep, shaky breath. Hellion kiss
Princess and her four Princes 146. Shocking
All my life, I've known to fight, defend, and kill.But right now, all of those are out of question. Asad needs calm; he needs to be protected at least till he's done with his transition.We need to run.It's cowardly, but Gebrit, the priestess, was right. I have no doubt our little fight with the Liminal order gathered eyewitnesses, and it's only a matter of time before older Nobles start the hunt for me, the Venenum, sent from the deepest part of Tophet, to ruin their lives.The Liminal order will send hired assassins.The Crestbane council will send bounty hunters.Others will try to end me for the joy of it.I'm in grave danger.Normally, such thoughts wouldn’t faze me. Instead, I'll be thrilled by the thought of being pursued. But it's not just me anymore.Facing any fight head-on would risk Asad’s life.He's too vulnerable right now. There's no telling when he'll wake up, and he will wake up, or I swear on all the fucking gods, I will drag his soul back from the Beyond myself. E

~Bethany~When I step outside my dorm, Olyon is leaning against the wall beside my door, looking absolutely breathtaking in a black jacket and an ocean-blue ripped jeansHe has changed his earrings to silver instead of the gold he’s been wearing.

~Bethany~“P-Please!” he pleads. “Whatever you want, I’ll give it to you!” he sputters, spit flying. “I have a consignment that I'm working on. It will push through in a couple of days. You can have it all. Drugs, girls, plent
