The Devil Within

Truths

Erebus. I slammed my book shut, Zyphr watched me carefully. I asked Nereida as calmly as I could, "what is so special about Erebus? ". Both of them gave me a careful look because I didn't dare to open my mouth for the past thirty minutes. I noted every word that came out of Nereida's mouth. As soon as she finished, Zyphr got on his feet and said with concern " I have to escort the princess back it is getting late". I got on my feet a bit angrily. I thanked the mer-fae and walked back into the woods. I was still angry at Zyphr because he said he had to escort me back as if he was my guard. ew, I didn't need a guard. I told him in an incensed voice "you need not escort me, I can walk myself and you said you won't call me princess that was the deal". He stopped walking, removing the hood from his head revealing his sleek bit messy, which only made him look a million times hot but I kept my furious face. His eyes met mine and then he said "The mer -faes come out at night if they see you I see no mere chance of you even sneaking out from your room if his highness ground you for being here, especially here" his voice too bold " your welcome" he said with a smirk. I blinked. Gosh, his looks and his raffish behavior and his eyes, It's dyingly attractive. He wasn't wrong, my dad would have every guard in the kingdom to guard me if he knew I was here.

We walked into the woods, wondering why Elektra had written in my book, names of monsters. I stopped and looked into my book, Zyphr beside me peered into my book. Erebus has written in Elektras handwriting. Erebus was the lord of darkness, I turned to where I wrote what  Nereida had told us, A boy who had no powers learns about Erebus and tries to attain his powers through the witches and by worshiping the dark and evil entities was finally granted the powerful power as powerful as the gods. He used his powers to hurt people who hurt him and help the dark lords to win over the land, hurting innocents and having the demons all over until the boy fell in love with a goddess, who manipulated him into thinking the goddess was in love with him, later consumed the powers of the boy into her and shut down the dark entities and killed the boy. I let out an angry sigh, Zyphr trying to understand me said "your emotions change faster than light". It was true so I gave a plastered forced smile to him and said "we have to get to the library" I pulled up my things and started to walk in another direction till I got pulled back. Zyphr gripping my hand tight looking at me "  uh-huh no not now" he said coldly still gripping my hand, his eyes pinned me to stop "explain" he said "fine" I said sitting on a rock, removing my hood, revealing my brown hair braided in a warrior style by Alia. my blue eyes tired finally looked up. I saw Zyphr looking at me while I take my gloves off. He was looking at me, his head tilted towards the side revealing his tattoo on his neck which made him ten times hot. holy god. he was cute, but he was dreaming looking at me. I let out a little cough which snapped him and stiffened. I explained how Elektra and written and a bunch of things about her.

As soon as I finished he asked me " does she read?". "all the time" I replied with eyes rolled . 'may I?" he lend out a hand asking for my book, I handed over my book to him. He went through the names which Elektra had written down, he mumbled "god of.., goddess of.." like he knew each god. His finger pointed out at one name at the end " I know every god and goddess except this one, I have never heard of it. Nereida said that the boy's name was only known by the goddess". I went still "how are you so sure?" I asked my voice low and stammered. "I have read every book about gods, I have never heard this one anywhere" he said sharply. How could Elektra know the name which no one knew? was she the goddess? why wouldn't she tell me? Another heartbreak, I wanted to tear myself apart for all this. everything. "Did she hide anything like books or writings" Zyphr asked me. I tried to recall anything, something "Yes she had her study where she kept books which no one knows about other than me". I said my voice blunt barely out of my mouth. Shit. no no no, I never cared about the books. her books. Holy gods, she is a goddess. Zyphr was shaken too. "we should go there and see what we can find" his voice was bluntly shaken by what we had discovered. I simply nodded, we walked back till we reach the cliff where we could see Tessitura. I looked down the lights of each mansion like dots. My mind kept ringing was she even my sister? she lied. she is a goddess a powerful one who stopped the dark entities. My whole life has been a lie. Zyphr held my hand tightly knowing what would have been in my mind "we are not sure yet" he said softly. I held on to his hands tightly while the cold wind blew.  I looked at Tessitura, huge dark clouds were swirling at the top of the kingdom. What is happening, why lie? Elektra a goddess? my sister or was she?. I felt every inch of my body shatter like glass.
