Demonic Spell (18+)

Recipe 31

"Ah, where is my manner? I'm Fuxal, one of the Princes of Underworld and unfortunately for me, the cousin of that idiot." He flourished an exaggerated bow in my direction.

Fuxal?

I did hear Thallan whispering his name before I sprinted away.

Did Thallan call him to help me?

"Why are you here?" I asked, noticing that the house become extremely quiet, terrifyingly quiet.

 No panicked squealing from the imps and no furious barking from Jake. Even the noise of the forest fauna and flora ceased and I suspect that this demon is the main reason of this sudden silence.

He might be friendly and harmless but my instinct warns me that this creature who claimed to be Thallan's relative is more powerful and dangerous than Thallan, so powerful that his mere presence could silence every living creature nearby, as if all of them are trying hard not to be noticed by him.

"I think you should sit first. Don't worry he won't get away from my barrier." He offered, flashing a charming smile in my direction.

A very charming sans the row of tiny pointed teeth and a pair of prominent fangs sticking out of his lips.

"He called me." I frowned at his nonchalant reply. "Don't worry. I won't bite. Come in here." He added as I continue to stand and stare by the doorway, hovering over my only point of escape if the need arise.

Why would Thallan call him?

I flinched back when he suddenly moves towards me. The heels of his boots meet the wooden floor soundlessly as if he’s hovering over it.

"Don't come near me." I whispered, shivering as goosebumps appear on my arms and the air crackle with static.

He raised a perfectly shaped eyebrow on my direction.

"If I want to hurt you, Girl. I could have done that before by refusing Thallan's request to heal you when you're critically injured. So there's no need of you to be afraid of me now."

"You won't hurt me or anything?" 

"Of course I won't! I don't have to harm anything without reason but I truly want to know is what happened to that idiot?" He said pointing over where Thallan is and somehow I believe him when he said that he don't have any reason to harm anyone here.

Call it intuition but as powerful as he is, I know he won't harm anyone or anything without reason and no one will ever dare harm him in return.

"I.. I don't know. We are just discussing about something and he suddenly become rigid, growling and shaking uncontrollably. It just escalates so fast to the point that he bit me on my shoulder."

"He bit you?" I frowned when he starts laughing. 

"He bites." I heard his amused muttering as he opened several buttons of his leather jacket, revealing a white silk shirt

What is he doing now?

"Hell in fire! Your world is acting really crazy." 

He said as he draped the discarded jacket on the chair.

 Huh? What does he mean by that?

My world is acting crazy?

Hell! Everything in my life is way above crazy now.

It’s insane!

"Let me check your wound."

Huh?
