Cooking was a certain talent I had picked up whilst living my life as the prince of Estreal, of course we had chefs but who would wait for someone else to cook when it could be so fun? Exactly.

My best dish is definitely Stir fry, and here I was cooking one up. Only wearing a pair of grey joggers and I my hair tied back into a bun, Turning when Magnus walks in with Kaya and her friends, my eyes fall on rowan who's got his arm around Beth, shea trailing behind them quietly "Smells good, you cooking stir fry?" He says happily now, peaking over my shoulder "Yeah, you want a bowl?" I ask, turning the cooker down I dish it up into a bowl "hell yeah!" He smirks, passing the bowl over I dish everyone else some.

"That was delicious Dustin, where did you learn to cook!" Kai gasps, his pink hair blowing gently due to the draft coming from a window  "my siblings aren't exactly the brightest, it just became a hobby" I smile slightly, shea and Rowan laughing as they finish up their food "Your siblings are all stiff pricks" shea chirps, nodding I smile slightly looking up at Kaya who's got her head rested against her sword "Well would you look at that, my arrow scarred you!" Shea points underneath my eye, the blue haired demon laughing loudly "would you look at that, my sword scarred you too" I smirk, watching disbelief cover his face he lifts his shirt off revealing a huge scar from where the black and purple markings were "W-what.." he breaths, laughing I lean back "Guess were even.." he murmurs.

Scratching the back of Milo's neck as Rowan and Shea sit around the camp fire out by the beach, I watch as Shea Cleans his blue and white sword "I'm surprised your father hasn't sent an army after you by now.." rowan breaths, his two white swords rested beside him "He did send Byron but I took care of him" I reply, the fire shadowing the darkest corners of the ground "it's no use sending your younger siblings to bring you back, he should know for a fact. Your almost as strong as he is." Shea hums as he bites into a burger he had bought on the way here "I don't think he knows that" I murmur, watching Shea shrug he laughs "so what's the deal with you and Kaya. You've never had a girl reject you as much as she does" he chuckles, his fangs prominent even in the dark "What are you talking about, I hate her." I grumble, looking at rowan when he laughs lightly "You don't have to lie to us, We see how you are around her" rowan chuckles, standing I point my sword at him, shea laughing even more I sigh with a smile on my face as rowan scrambled to his feet.

Swinging Nyx Around aimlessly, Mr Kian walking in "Dusty, Your here early" he hums in confusion as students begin pouring in "eager to train, sir" I shrug, watching him laugh, Shea and Rowan walk in with Kaya, Beth, Kai and Lucas, the group walking over to me, Kaya furrows her brows "You ready for some training Hot-shot" Shea smirks patting my shoulder, nodding I swing my sword around my hand casually, looking up when Mr Fernandez who's smiling as he makes his way over to us he pulls myself, Shea and rowan aside.

"It's a surprise to see even the son of Satan attends my academy but now two demons have joined?" He asks, the two demons looking at him with arched eyebrows "look Mr Fernandez, we all and many more demons are desperate to kill King Godric, but we can't until we're strong enough" I explain, the headmaster nodding he taps his walking Cane against the floor casually "and your training here?" He asks, nodding reluctantly I hold my sword tightly "fine. But any more demons need to meet me first." He says, shaking his hand I nod.

"Partners!" Mr Kian shouts, going to grab Shea, Lucas dashes to him quickly "Uh... sure.." Shea murmurs looking at me I look at Rowan who's partnered with Beth, Kaya who's partnered with Kai, then to black haired Charlie McGuire who's walking towards me "ready to experience the expert?" He asks, groaning I gesture for him to follow.

Drawing Nyx he holds his nunchucks close as the ground splits, I move to the side, purple and black flames engulfing my body, my yellow eyes glow, lowering my head so my hair covers my eyes I clench Nyx tightly, jumping back when a huge spike of earth darts my way, I cut it in half with my sword, looking up at him I restrain my horns from appearing as the flames around me intensify, his eyes widening I flip forwards, sweeping his feet he falls to his back, the tip of my sword rested a few inches from his neck, the flames grazing his skin as he stares at me I stand back, the flames disappearing, Mr kian walks towards us "some power you got there Dustin." He says, sheathing Nyx I tilt my chin down slightly, the raging need to shift coursing through my veins I raise my hand "can I be excused" I murmur, watching him nod I walk away quickly, Shea and Rowan watching as I hurry out.

Feeling my fangs prod my lip, my horns appear, as my tail wraps around my right leg, the purple markings of my demon form appear on the sides of my face and down from my neck to my ankles "Oh great one, are you okay In there" hearing Shea call from outside my dorm as he knocks lightly he walks in followed by rowan who stare in shock "You shifted." Rowan murmurs, nodding I run the pad of my thumb over the markings, as a black and purple aura surrounds me "I let my power possess me for too long" I hun, watching them both nod Shea sits beside me "You've got nothing to worry about Dust, you won't end up anything like your old man" he groans as he wraps his arm around me, my eyes flash slightly.

'That's not what I'm worried about...'
