The Will of an Enemy (Lumity)

Devise and Conquer

After another day of uneventful rounds, Amity patrolled back to the castle for her meeting with the emperor. Ever since the human had first escaped the pressure of the king started to become unbearable for the guard.

"You still haven't found it?" The Emperor's disappointment did not try to hide in his tone, and rather unsettled the young guard.

"N-nope! Never seen a human in my life! Wait.. what I meant was-" Panic arose in the girls eyes. "I'm sorry.." The green guard muttered and spoke nothing of the truth. "Lord Belos.. she seems to be on the retreat."

"That means you should double your efforts!" The Emperor seeped some of his mysterious liquid into his eyes. "Unless.. I have to find someone else to?"

The guard shot up. "No! Please Lord Belos.." The girl's eyes glinted with fear when she thought of someone else attacking Luz. "Give me more time.."

Lord Belos picked up his staff, sounding a loud clunk in the empty hallways. "Get me that human soon or else!"

Amity nodded. "Have trust in my namesake, Lord Belos."

------------------------------------------

"Why did I say that??" The guard groaned as she walked with the three eyed potion master she called her friend. The marketplace had swarmed with demons and witches during the evening, with bustling businesses surrounding them.

Her friend couldn't help but snicker. "Sounds like the type of dorky thing you'd say." She puffed out her chest and spoke in a mocking tone. "I swEaR oN My NAmEsAKe tO kIsS -I meAn- kiLL tHe HUmAN!"

"Boscha!!" Amity's face heated up as she hurled herself at her friend to cover her mouth. "Keep your voice down! ANd I don't sound like that!"

Boscha couldn't help but burst out laughing, muttering into the guard's hand. "You totally do. But whatever. What do you even see in that girl?"

Amity looked down, fidgeting with her cloak. "W-well.. ever since I met her she's been kind to me. Even when I came to kill her.." Amity laughed nervously. "Not only that but she's so funny, and cute when she gets passionate about things." The guard's face was tickled with pinkness, as a warm smile began to rise. "Gods, I can't even think about her without going crazy!"

"Seems like you're a hopeless case." Boscha chuckled. "What're you gonna do about her then?"

The green haired girl sunk, dropping her arms to her sides. "I don't know.. I cant hurt Luz." She said meekly.

Boscha wrapped her arm around the guard, bringing her close. "Hey, I'm sure that dumb human appreciates you not killing her up till now!"

Amity cracked a smile. "I guess.. But that still doesn't change things. And shes not dumb."

"Whatever. Look, if she means that much to you I don't think you should throw that away." Boscha could be cruel at times, but when push came to shove she was always with Amity no matter what.

"You know what?" Amity stopped for a moment. "You're right, Boscha."

"Huh?" Boscha looked back at her after she stopped herself.

"I need to stop holding back.." The guard's gaze sharpened as she raised her voice a little. "I'll never be happy if I stay this way!"

Boscha glanced around and muttered, "Yo dude I'm glad you're realizing this but people are starting to stare-"

The guard ignored her, taking both of her hands. "Thank you Boscha!" She giggled excitedly.

"Right.." Boscha looked blankly as she hid her face from the crowd. "Lets just go get some food or something.."

------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, the human was stuck indoors. Eda was not joking when she grounded her. Luz lazed around the house with nothing to do. She spent most of the day doodling in her notebook, despite trying to save paper for spells.

"There's nothing to do here!" The girl threw her notebook to the side, slouching back on the couch.

"That's kinda the point. And you got yourself into this!" He snickered as he shoved food down his throat. "Just to see that stupid guard!"

"Te destruiré, demonio difuso." Luz muttered, looking up at the ceiling. "I wonder what she's doing right now.."

"Probably plotting your downfall!" He joked again. And once again, Luz glared at him.

"Yeep! Someone's in a bad mood." He scurried up to her. "You really stuck on this girl?"

Luz nodded and frowned. "I wish we could talk again."

The human picked up a nearby pillow and curled into a ball. "I wouldn't be so bored with her around.. But that obviously is impossible." she mumbled into the cushion and sighed. "Even without being grounded, Amity can't risk it."

King's gaze softened when he saw how hurt Luz was. He let out a groan, and waddled over to the human's notebook. "Hey Luz.. why don't you write her a letter?"

She perked up at the demon's idea. "Hey, that's really smart king!" She picked him up, pulling him into a tight hug. After he squeaked, Luz dropped him and quickly started writing. She scribbled a bunch of inconsistent thoughts onto the paper, finally sealing it with a heart sticker.

"Now.. how am I gonna get it to her?" The human rubbed her head in thought.

"A demon has his ways!" King snatched the note, trying to sneak a peek. The human quickly swatted him.

"Alright you can deliver it.. But that letter is only for the eyes of Amity!" A faint blush came across her face.

"Fine." King pouted. "But you owe me!"

The demon scurried out the door, bearing the letter in his teeth.
