Princess Of Hell

Chapter 25

Looking around me, fire surrounded every side. I gulped, finally noticing the destruction I just caused.

"Yessssssssss." Izzalee said happily in my mind.

My heart ached as I watched the trees burn to the ground. The flame couldn't hurt me in this form, but it could hurt the trees. And if the trees were hurting, I would feel it too. Finally registering pain, I fell on my knees. Sweat trickled down my forehead as Izzalee's powers dissipated. Now, I could feel pain from fire. The heat around me was deadly, and I took deep breaths. I could barely breathe anymore. Fire licked my skin as it danced closer to me. Pain from the trees and from fire on my back engulfed me, but I wasn't taken under darkness.

"Oh, Khimos! Please make this easy on me!" I cried up at the sky, where I knew the immortals would be listening. It's fitting. I burned down the forest of death and now death was trying to take me, but slowly. My eyes bulged as roars filled the air, and soon, stomps filled my ears.

"Izzalee, now would be a good time to give me your powers."

"Hang on."

The sensation of Izzalee's powers filling my veins overtook me and I felt my body start to change. Fire erupted from my body and I stood up slowly, waiting for the beast that caused the roar. A gigantic red muscled beast appeared from behind the trees. Standing at twenty feet tall, the beast was massive. It roared again and shook the entire forest. Fire puffed out of my nostrils as I screamed back, probably sounding weak compared to this beast. The strange thing was, it wasn't a demon. I knew it in my gut. It must be one of those beast corpse things Izzalee was talking about.

"Yesss, that's Pirara, a species of dead faery who turn into this beast."

I turned around and gagged as a disgusting scent invaded my nose. It almost smelled like death. I don't know what death smelled like, but for some reason I had a feeling this may be it. The beast looked at me with beady red glowing eyes and charged. I called up some of my flames and growled back, shooting the flames towards the beast. The flames were absorbed into its red muscular chest and I gulped. If my flames couldn't make the beast even flinch, how could I protect myself? Fear and frustration were a raging battle of emotions as I stared the beast down. Even if this was where I died, I refused to show weakness on the outside. I scowled at the beast and rushed towards it. I was rewarded with a scratch from its enormous claws and I fell, but I still looked the beast in the eye as I collapsed onto my knees. Conjuring more flames, I threw them at the last place I could think of. The beast's eyes.

When the purple flames reached the beast, it roared. It's eyes started to melt. Yes, literally melt. As I watched the beast's demise, I smiled in satisfaction. Now, if only Izzalee could settle with this for destruction instead of trying to convince me to cause unnecessary chaos.

"If we do this on a a daily basis, maybe I will." Izzalee whispered to me.

Pain was starting to really register as I felt my eyes shutting. Searing stabbing pains erupted where the beast's claws hit me and I growled. Looking over, I noticed blood oozing out of the wound. It was really quite disturbing, but isn't something I haven't witnessed beforehand. My eyes finally shut after a five minute battle and I felt myself grow cold.

****************************************************************************************************************

When I opened my eyes, I found myself in a throne room. I was sitting on the red carpet and looming figures sat on each throne. Bella, the goddess of hell, sat atop the throne to the left, Khimos, the god of death, sat on the throne next to her. They were actually twins and were very similar looking. Bella's black hair was piled behind her on a warrior's braid and her gold eyes pierced my very being. Khimos's deadly gaze never left mine. He brushed his hair away from his forehead to reveal scowling features. Sitting next to Khimos was Enyja, the goddess of youth. Enyja's thick brown hair was a stark contrast to her thin black eyebrows. Her pale smiling face and emerald eyes looked me up and down. Sitting next to Enyja was Tiaris, the goddess of health. Tiaris's dark brown skin mixed exceedingly well with her brown eyes and brown hair. Beside Tiaris was Resulla, the goddess of the insane. Resulla's dark gaze never wavered from my face and her black eyes were haunting my very being. Her white hair and pale skin was shining in the light. And finally, next to Resulla, was Sorcha, the queen of the gods and goddesses. Sorcha's blonde curly hair  fell down to her stomach and her golden eyes were a stark contrast to her pale skin. Sorcha smiled down at me.

"Welcome, Titania." She said.

"Where am I?" I asked. Sorcha smiled.

"You're on the mountain of the immortals."

"Why am I here?"

"Secrets have been kept from you and we believe it is time for them to reveal themselves."

"What?"

Sorcha sighed as she got off her throne and walked towards me. Her long pink gown was trailing behind her as if she was the bride at a wedding. She stopped directly in front of me.

"You're a very special case, Titania. You're half light fae and half dark."

"Excuse me?"

Sorcha sighed again.

"Your mother had an affair with a dark fae and it resulted in you. Kayden, Vivian, Odette, and Cassie are all your half siblings. And you're really a twin yourself, Tia really had a thing for giving birth to twins." Sorcha said smiling.

"What?!"

"You're half light fae and half dark, a spectacular mix. Ever wonder why your wings were the only purple color in the entire light fae community?" Sorcha asked. That really hit the mark.

"Barely." I retorted, making her smile.

"Well now you know, but your powers are beyond imaginably strong, Titania. You're also a descendant of mine through your father. You're even stronger than Marina was."

"I-I am?"

Sorcha smiled and nodded.

"We really must go, Sorcha." Khimos's deep voice growled. Sorcha sighed and nodded.

"Very well. Good luck to you Titania. We shall see you soon." With that, the gods and goddesses disappeared and I was plunged into total blackness.
