Shadows of Tsuki: The Half-Elven Demon

Chapter 2: Regretful Adventure

Day after day, Tsuki still wants to know about Albinism and thinks she could get more information about the human world. She had an idea to go to the human world, a place where humans and other creatures live. She goes out of her room to get her sister.

   "Sister, sister! Let's go to the human world!" She grabs Yoriko's black dress. "No Suki, I'm busy..." said Yoriko annoyed. Tsuki pouted and walked away leaving Yoriko in her room alone. She has a curiosity about the thing that she wants to research so she has an idea to go out to ask permission from her father; Aranoth.

   "Papa, Papa! Can I go to the human world?", Tsuki ran and sat on her father's lap making everyone in there silent.

   "Of course, you can go my little devilish~ I will come with you to make sure you are safe, okay?" said Aranoth happily to his second daughter. Tsuki smiled with happiness on her face, she looked at everyone, but everyone only looked at the ground cause of scared. Behind the wall, Yoriko watches them as they are happy talking. Yoriko feels envy towards her little sister because she is different from the other demons. After all, she is half-elf!

   "Tch... such a freak having a pointy ear like an elf," said Yoriko angrily.

   Tsuki is ready to go to the human world with Aranoth but before they go Aranoth casts a spell for them to disguise as a human. The demon lord opens a portal that leads to the human world, and they wave at them and as a result, they will come back tomorrow.

   "Bye! We are going out now!", shouted Tsuki before entering the portal. Everyone waved and Aranoth piggybacked her and entered the portal. Minutes later they were already in front of the crypt. They both walked up together while holding hands. They both walked to the busy markets and bought things. Tsuki buys something like a necklace of runes from an old woman, she also gives her extra gold and silvers as a thankful gift.

   "What you buy my little devilish?", "Oh I bought this necklace, does it look pretty on me?" asked Tsuki while holding the necklace. Aranoth said nothing but only smiled. They also go to the tavern to drink something.

   "Well hello sir, hello little girl. What can I get you both? drinks?" ask the bartender. Aranoth looked at his daughter who still looked at the magnificent place.

   "Just give us one water and one red wine", said Aranoth.

   "Alright, one water and one red wine!" shouted the bartender to the winemaker, "Wait until your drinks are served, and by the way why not you both enjoy the show first?", The bartender showed them the stage that was about to start. They play a popular musical show. Tsuki enjoyed the show with a happy expression on her face. After a few minutes, the bartender serves what they order, and they start drinking. Aranoth had finished his drink and carried Tsuki on his back to go back to the underworld realm. Before that, they both went to the lake where it could have a beautiful view to see the sunset.

   "It's getting late now, shall we go back now my little devilish?", Aranoth looks at his daughter.

   "Yes, it's already late now and I'm sleepy..." said Tsuki while rubbing her sleepy eyes. He chuckles and walks out from the lake to the dirt path to the crypt. He opens the portal to the underworld and enters it. The demon chief was waiting for them to come back.

   "We're back", said Aranoth.

   "Oh, thank goodness, you are both alive! I thought you both already died".

   "Very funny, we just having fun in the human world for one day and you think we're already dead?" Aranoth looks at him with little overreaction.

   "No, of course not Your Highness. Let me take the young princess back to her room" said the demon chief. Aranoth said nothing instead of giving Tsuki to be brought back to her room.
