Aron's POV.

"We want your fear?" It said and i stared at it in confusion, my fear, why would they want that.

"Why do you want my fear?" I asked and saw a smile in the corner of their mouths, almost looking like a smirk.

"We feed of fear, especially that given freely to us, we are not evil or soul less creatures, we are simply demons that feed of fear, it is our food source and we need it to survive." He said and I thought about it, what would be so wrong about it if i gave them my fear, not that I fad a lot since I became king and everything, but still. There had to be a catch.

"What's the catch to feeding off of my fears? I mean, I get that you need it to survive, don't get me wrong, but why? And what would happen to me if you take it. My fears that is?" I asked them as I continued to look at them.

"Very smart. When we take fear from people, it is not just once that we feed but every time they get scared. It means that as soon as fear shows itself you will feed us, meaning you will never feel the true fear in you system for it will go away as soon as it shows up. It also mean that you will never feel fear again and you will be a great King. We are simply creatures and we wish to help you for we know you will have struggles in your future. We need fear to live, yours is just the strongest we know and will sustain us for a while." He said and i nodded in understanding.

"If I agree, what will stop you from surfacing and causing more fear in people for food?"

"We are bound in this room by your ancestors and can only communicate with people who enter this room, as very few enter this cavern, and the deal struck with others are gone for they all died long ago. We are busy dying and are in need of food to live. We are the protectors of souls who die before they are intended to. We need to protect the souls from the demons who feed on them."

"That makes sense. I guess. Just promise me this. You will never cause fear in people intentionally and will always guard the souls. I will live a long life full of battles and fear and it will feed you well, I need your word on that." I told them and could see them think it over. I think it was a good idea to offer that to them and for them to make a promise like that would be gard to break.

"We accept and promise to guard the souls and not cause intentional fear in all creatures. Now do you agree to our proposal to feed us fear?"

"Thank you and yes I agree."

I could see a scaled hand reach out toward me and wait for mine, it was weird seeing the scale, shining in the darkness a pale blue reflecting off of them, the fingers slim and elegant as the scales danced in the darkness around us. I placed my hand in his and was shocked and that it felt smooth, almost like silk.we shook hands and as that happened I felt the fear leave me body. I heard a collective sigh and looked at them.

"We haven't been fed in a long time and it feels good. You may go now and find the soul of that man. Once you find it place it over his heart and force it inside, he should wake moments later." They say and then vanished.

I went to Kolt and lifted him up again as i made my way to the door and found that a demon stood there and opened it for me, nodding its head. I nodded back and entered and found the room to be lighter than the one before.

There seemed to be nothing in the room except for the golden pot in the middle of it, it looked like a goblet with the intricate designs swirling around it in constant motion, almost like it was alive. A bright white light shining from inside it. I went forward and seemed to get lost in the designs as I felt myself get pulled in. I started to feel my soul almost getting ripped from my body, but as soon as that happened I took a step back and looked away.

My soul was back in my body again and I felt like i would have almost died if I didn't look away from it. I took a deep breath and went forward again, this time focusing on the light it emitted and not at the golden pot. As I went even closer I started seeing souls as they swam around in there, nothing but white orbs swimming in the water. The orbs alone to my breathe away.

Bright white orbs of light swimming around, they looked peaceful and content as they flowed around in harmony. The orbs looked beautiful as i could almost feel the softness and innocent sense of their nature.

I began looking at the orbs trying to distinguish them but found it was almost impossible to do. So I began thinking about Kolt and they way he looked, felt, smelled. The magnificent look of his eyes, the strength of his body, the softness of his hair. I looked back at the water and saw one soul becoming restless. I took it to be Kolt's.

"Kolt, can you hear me?" I spoke and soon the same soul floated lightly in the air before dropping into the water again.

"Kolt- " I tried again, "- I need you, I need to see your eyes again, to hear your voice, to feel you in my arms. So please do me a favor of trying to get me, to keep me for yourself." I looked to the water and as I spoke the soul floated more and more in the air, as soon as I gently laid down Kolt I stood up quickly to catch the soul before it fell into the pot again.

I gasped at the sensation of having a soul in my hands, the softness of it, the electric current flowing through my veins as I stared in awe at the pure perfection of this soul. Innocence blooming as i held it, taking it gently, I took it away from the pot and bent down to stand pn my knees as I placed it over his heart.

Applying pressure to it I forced it into his body. Seeing it enter slowly into Kolt was magical. I felt amazed as i saw him get his colour back, his warmth and health. Once his soul was back, fully placed inside him I looked up and gasped as I saw the most amazing thing in my life, his coal black eyes staring at me.
