The Eternal Being and The Demon Mates

Chapter 5

*Flashback*

"Mom.. Are you here? Are you?"

Walking for days that turn into weeks.. in a dark and warm place. The whole underworld looked like Mountains and vast dessert burried under an enternal Night. The wind was warm. The sand on my bare feet felt warm. My whole being is as of a cold creature made of snow, but now even my skin felt warm.

"Mom.." I cried out yet she was not here. Everything on this land lives. So she can't disappear like that. She gave birth to me, surrender me to the King... and what? Just like that..

"You abandoned me." I fell on my knees and fell on a heap of sand and pass out.
I was vanished and abandoned. My father never really cared. He agreed with my brothers to punish me to a crime I didn't commit. Murder? Is there such thing as murder in this land? Everything continues to live and reborn.

I wish to never be reborn just like them.

I wish to end this meaningless life.

He knew I didn't kill anyone. Nothing in this land gets the essense of the word 'kill' anyway. Everything even life is eternal. But when you kill someone before they die out of freewill... you'll get punish.

Like me.

If you think about it, it's a law that needs more definition. You kill a person who's immortal.  What will you get out of it?

Though somehow, they got a illegitimate Prince to be vanished from his homeland.

"It's an Anemois! Let's eat it."

"Eat! Eat!"

"Let's eat! Eat!" Demons. I had no more strength. Demon wolves surrounded me. When they were pounce at me a force field surrounded me, making the demon wolves whimper at contact and making them fly off a feet away from me.

I force my eyes to open but I was only able to do it a little bit. The image of a back of a tall man with long dark hair stuck in my mind until I pass out once again.

"Hey.. Are you alright. Wake up." I blink my eyes open and gasp at the sight of deep amber mixing with gold freckles pair of eyes. He blinked and smiled.

"Hey there. I hunted from your land and was able to get some meat and fruits. You should replenish." He held my hand and I jolt. Making me pull my hands away.

"It's hot!" I clasp my hand and he looked shocked as well. His hands form into frost.

"Ice? Ah, you're an Anemois right?" I gasp at the sight of blue flames coming out of his hand melting the frost.

"Yeah.." I blew on my palms, making the redness fade.

"Ah, but you have demon blood." He sat infront of me. Where am I? It looks like a room. His room? There is a home here in the Demon realm? I thought every demon lives in the dessert and Forest.

I was on a king size bed inside a room with red and dark colors.

"Sort of. My Mother.." I paused. My mother.. huh.

"My Mother is half demon and half Anemois. My Father on the other hand."

"The King." He grin at me and I gasp, shocked that he knew who I am... or was in this moment. I was vanished.

"I am no longer a Prince. I was slip off my title and vanished here in the Demon Realm. I wanted to look for my Mother. My Father said she abandoned me and went with a Demon here." I said and he is still grinning. Why is he like this?

"Your Mother? Well I heard of her. She actually Mated with a clan I know."

"A clan?"

"Yeah, a Demon Clan. The Venom." I approach him and he back away careful not to touch me or we'll both get hurt again.

"Please take me there!" I cough and fell in his arms. We both brace for the reaction of my Ice and his Fire but nothing happened. He sighed loudly relieved and help me up.

"Good. Maybe as long as we control each others abilities we will not end up freezing or burning one another. You have to replenish your strength first then we'll talk about your Mother." I nodded and he help me up.

He fed me food and help me find the Venom Clan. It's a clan related to his clan. He got a horse. A Demon Horse. He said he's a pet.

"Since we can't stay in contact longer. I'm still controlling my flames around you. I can't carry you around the Realm. So we'll use my Knight." He grin and he help me up his really large horse. A horse with red flames on his feet and a red flame as a tail. Though his hair was jet black somehow they're covered with some red flames as well.

"He't not as hot as I thought he'd be. When he's all burning like this."

"No. He's really just luke warm." The horse neigh at his remark.

"Why?"

"That's an insult to a demon animal. Being luke warm when he's a Fire Animal." He snickered and jump, landing smoothly behind me.

"Hey. Is it really okay to help me? I am an Anemois. We're practically the opposite creatures." I said as the demon horse flew off. Red flames coming out of his feet as he gallops over the dark clouds.

"Yeah, why not. You are my Mate afterall." What?

"What? Mate? H-How... That can't happen. I'm an Anemoi and you're..."

"You are rejecting me right now, right? That's okay. You'll learn to feel me one of this days. I felt you the first time. You'll learn to feel my presence soon enough."

"Mates?"

"You'll probably can't feel that now since your Anemois abilities are more prominent than your Demonic abilities, unlike your Mother." I turn to look at him and he just look ahead.

"You met her?"

"Yeah. Once. She's.. well meeting her might not be a good idea. It might destroy your image of her."

"I need to meet her regardless. I already knew I'm delusional to think she'd want me back since.. she abandoned me. Not once did she see me. Sometimes I gave excuses for her but, I guess not."

"Knowing that.. you'd still want to meet her?" I nodded and lean back at his warm chest. He stiffened a bit and lowers his temperature. I smirked and he finally look at me.

"Cozy?" He smiled and I nodded.
"This is the first time I felt warmth. Its nicer that freezing."

"Well you are technically born from snow. Is it alright feeling this much heat?" I nodded and grab his free arm and wrap it around my waist.

"It's a really nice feeling." He held me closer and I mirrored his smile.

*Present*

"Aki?" I woke up with a warm hand caressing my cheek. I felt a soft cloth on me. A shirt? It's a cotton white long-sleeved shirt. I bet he made me wore them. I'm even wearing pants now. I sat up and Alaster lifts me up in his arms and I allowed him. With my arms clinging onto him he sat me down on his lap in front of a table full of food.

"Let's eat?" I yawn and eyed him. I look at my clothes and then at him again.

"Did you clean me up?" I ask and he nods.

"You should've just woke me up." He smiles shyly and kisses my cheek.

"It's fine since I did that to you." I blush and he kiss my cheek again.

"Please stop blushing. We can't eat if you look like that."

He started cutting up our food and plating up meat, greens and fruits in our plate. As he does that I notice his long dark hair now tied in a ponytail a little high up his head. His fringe framing his face making his looks more noticeable and those gold eyes that always meets my eyes.

God, this guy is something else. I mean demon.
