Chapter 6

They were led to their respective rooms. Luna knew that something was up.

She walked out of her room wandering the hallway as she looked at the picture frames one by one like she was memorizing them.

She kept on walking till she got to a picture which had two paintings, one side had a generational painting with her included and the other side was like a forbidden area in its former glory.

She rubbed her hand against the plaque which had accumulated some dust. She wondered why this place had dust when it's usually cleaned. That was when she noticed she was no more walking in the normal hallway which people are allowed to walk through or pass.

She cleaned the plaque only to find two words written on it deadly night.

The words were written with sword intent which carried emotions such as;

Hatred, anger, sadness, loneliness.

She had to remove her eyes from the plaque to avoid getting blind or fainting, because the sword intent was much even her legs were weak to keep her standing.

While she was staring at the painting, she moved her eyes to the left side of the painting which had the forbidden area and was shocked by what she found.

She read the words again, to make sure she wasn't dreaming.

The words read 'Fiend gods of the demon kingdom'

She didn't know much about fiend gods, all she knew was that they were another species of demon.

She decided to ask her grandpa about it, to her this was an adventure, even if she had to wait before going because she was still just 10 years old.

She bumped into her mother's brother while running through the hallway.

"Uncle Williams" she called excitedly.

"Why are you running in the hallway in that manner? What if you got injured?" He asked her worriedly while checking her out from head to toe to make sure she wasn't injured.

"Uncle 'm fine, sorry for bumping into you earlier"

"Its okay, come let's go and meet grandpa"

'Seems to me like they are done discussing'

She thought to herself as she followed her uncle

"Uncle, are you going to participate in the war?"

"Seems like my sister keeps her daughter updated" he said as he smiled while looking at her. He hoped to have such a cute and obedient daughter.

"No"

"Uncle, Can you tell me more about fiend gods?" she asked as she looked at him with her eyes glittering with the light in the hallway taking effect which made her eyes starry.

"Fine...."

"Fiend gods are just like demons but they walk through a cultivation path which allowed their body to be stronger and tough. They are very few in number" he said as he led Luna to meet grandpa.

"Their king found these cultivation techniques as well as how to walk the path of immortality. We demons have tried to train in it but we only stop halfway and can't go further and it all depends on your talent and knowledge"

"We also found some spoils when we waged war against them. We stumbled into various sites which are dangerous and some cultivation materials. Now that place is called the deathly plain"

"Uncle, what about the picture I saw in the hallway which had the word 'Deathly Night' written on its plaque?"

He looked at her before speaking.

"It's not something to be spoken about, come let's go" he held her small little hand and walked forward, not minding the blinding curiosity her eyes showed.

She looked at him after noticing the change in his voice and how he held her hand

She walked to her seat which was close to her mother while Uncle Williams sat at the opposite chair.

"Grandpa, how are you? Did you miss me?"

"Of course, if I don't miss you, who will?"

"Grandpa, what do you have for my birthday gift?"

"Ah, I totally forgot about your birthday, this war is taking a toll on grandpa, you know" he said grinning from ear to ear as he looked at his granddaughter who was putting food into her mouth while talking.

Anybody who sees King Ian now will be surprised because apart from his cold attitude, he barely shows this side to people.

"Grandpa, what do you think about the war?"

Grandpa Ian was about to reply when his son, Uncle Williams spoke.

"Stop asking about the war, except you have an intention to join?"

"Uncle don't speak like that, besides you didn't give me a gift after my first kill"

He did not give her a gift because he was worried about her emotional balance.

He did not like how she had come in contacted with blood at a very tender age.

"Ayah, I forgot about that, but curiosity kills a cat"

"Stop talking to your niece like that, besides if she does not ask then I don't think she is Evelyn's daughter" he said while smiling at his daughter who just kept eating without taking a glance while Williams closed his mouth and buried himself in his food

"Grandpa, you haven't said anything yet" Luna said seeing her grandfather not also opening his mouth.

"The war is not something you should know about but we are planning to see if you can evolve"

"What about uncle?"

'Uncle is a fiend god descendant; you don't expect him to evolve'

Uncle Williams is the child of a royal fiend god who King Ian had saved which caused the war.

The princess of the fiend clan ran away from her marriage which was supposed to occur but King Ian had saved her and they ended up falling for each other since his other wife was dead. The king of the fiend gods thought he had abducted his daughter because of her beauty and he waged war.

But Williams was not King Ian son since she was pregnant when she ran away.

King Ian was deceived by her, thinking she had his child, not wanting to see her being taken away, he fought the war.

It was during her death bed that she confessed and also one of the reason Williams can't evolve

"Dad, what do you know about the power of fell?" Evelyn spoke after she was done with her plate

"We will discuss about that later, let's go and see if Luna can try and evolve"

"Grandpa, if I evolve what will happen?"

"It will strengthen our bloodline, for every person that evolves it strengthens the lineage bloodline"

They got to a big door made of gold with golems on the floor and on the door were 2 big dragons.

When the door opened, the dragons breathe out 2 different colors of fire, one which is orange and the other blue giving out beautiful sparks and light in air.

Wow

Behind the big doors was a hall with walls made of gold and various intricate carvings. Shelves on each side of the hall with books arranged in different categories.

There is also a long mat and in front is a pedestal with an orb hanging at the center.

"Dad, what if Luna can't do it? How are we going to remove the orb from here since you know we have a spy among us?" Evelyn said with a worried expression visible on her face.
