The granules of sand slowly slipped down the narrow curve of the hour glass. Down to where its sisters are. A minute passed. The sand on the upside-down triangular glass had decreased as the ones below gained.
It's rather minial. For he had waited long already. Waited for more than a hundred years now. The cursed gods sure love to play. They have all the time in their hands for they were immortal. They live on eternally.
What is a hundred years for them? It's just like a second.
But for him, whose ancestor was cursed by one of the damned gods, he had to wait 100 long years for him to yet see his plans through. The jewel only reappears a hundred years after it was last used.
He had been a demon all his life. Walk in darkness he had. Just like the rest of his kin before him.
He was a demon. He could live on for a thousand years. But that for him isn't enough. Eons are nothing if death can put an end to it.
Someone stronger, someone more powerful, more skilled, can dispose of him. Death is still inevitable. Eventually, it all falls down to that one thing.
In his world, it's either kill or be killed.
The dog demon of the west for one had been the biggest threat to his existence.
Fate never played fair.
The mutt had all the luck. The dog demon had the current guardian on his side. He had the jewel's protector as his lover.
The gods were biased. Curse them all.
He stood from his seat and walked to the window. A distant memory came into view.
Twenty years ago, marked the hundred years since the jewel was last used. That fateful night, twenty years ago, when all the planets realigned and the moon at its fullest, the next guardian was born. And together with his/her birth is the reappearance of the shikon no tama.
He had spent all his resources, sending out all his men into the land, searching high and low that night twenty years ago. But it was only recently that he found out where the guardian was. The goddess' reincarnation was born into the royal bloodline of one of the villages down south.
He wasn't searching for the guardian that particular day. He had only meant to confront the dog demon whose youki he felt nearby. He planned on winning against him this time.
The said dog demon had wounded him badly in their last encounter. He had attacked a nearby village then, and the dog demon defended the humans. The demon sided with those filthy earthly beings. The mutt really is a weird one for his kind.
And when he was about to approach the clearing near the river, he saw the dog demon kissing a human girl. He couldn't care less about the dog demon's love life and taste for women.
But he did think he could use her as bait to trap him one of these days. He planned on kidnapping her or better kill her to get back on the demon.
He'll plan it carefully of course. All that and he decided to leave the area. But he stopped dead in his tracks when he noticed what the dog demon had in his hand.
The dog demon held in his clawed fingers the delicate jewel. A mixture of happiness, excitement, jealousy, and rage filled him. Where did that damned mutt get that? How did he?
Then the human beside the mutt spoke. "It's my ancestors'. It's the only treasure our village has, really." The dog demon listened, though seemingly bored, uninterested and unconvinced that the said orb held such great powers. He could only care for the human beside him.
"They say, it had protected us from the sandstorms. And it is my duty to keep it safe." The dog demon returned it to the human, tying the make shift necklace at the back of her neck, where the jewel hang.
The girl beamed at the dog demon happily. She felt safe with the dog demon. He was never after anything of hers to begin with. The mutt had no greedy, self-serving intentions. The mutt simply wanted her. The love the human offered.
But he wasn't like the dog demon. He wanted it for himself.
And what he want. He gets.
Yes guys, intense chapter! ahahahha
Anyways, I'll be checking tomorrow, first thing in the morning if any of you had so kindly left reviews to inspire me and for me to read through.
If not, I'd be really sulking and I would cry. You don't want that right? 0.0
