"-ANDREW!!!
-girl calm down, where are your manners?" she ignored him and kept shouting the boy's name
"-ANDR…" and a loud bang was heard from the other room, to find a brown-haired boy with pretty long hair and sun kissed skin on the ground, rubbing his head and groaning in pain; and surrounded by books and sheets of some kind of unknown spells.
"-Andrew! I have been looking for you.
-for god's love who barged in people's house at this hour of the day Mal!
-it's almost 3 pm, early bird."
He ignored her making his way between the two unwanted guests, to the kitchen; to make his morning herbal tea, more like an evening tea.
"-you didn't say your friend was a moody unwelcoming witch.
-he is nice trust me, he just hate unpredicted company." Kieran turned his gaze around the house, different dried herbs was hanged to ceiling; decorating the woody walls of the room, simple and cozy furniture where brown and green shades presence were dominant with a little bit of golden shade. A normal house doesn't resemble like a witch house. Turning around, Shelves full of different crystals caught Kieran's attention, he went to check them out but before he could reach any of them Malin's hand stopped him.
"-your friend seems a gem's nerd.
-he love collecting them; he believe gem's and crystals have different powers and abilities that could be used for different purposes." The whit-haired boy nodded in agreement before he started coughing at the strong strange aroma that filled the place suddenly.
"-are you sure…he is not casting a spell on us…for disturbing him.
I don't have time to curse annoying people like you." Clarified the brown-haired boy while drinking his tea; before he finished:
"-I burned some salt with elderberry and basil for protection. From these; savage monsters.
-trust me; no one would dare to burn his lungs just to befriend you.
-why are you here Mal? You said you are going in a mission but instead you are hanging around with the old lady hair.
-Hey!" Kieran exclaimed before Mal sighted rubbing her temple than said to Andrew who sat on the sofa crossing his leg and covering his shoulders with a small blanket:
"-yeah I am…I'm escorting the prince to …" Andrew chocked on his drink and asked:
"-What?! Since when… Persus has a child?
-I know right…I was shocked too
-where is he? And what are doing with that annoying bustard?
-the annoying bustard is the prince Andrew.
-you are joking, right?
-you can show me some respect you know." Kieran Said that he ended up earning an eye roll from Mal, and an up and down look from Andrew.
"-As I was saying, I am going to take him to Drystan castle to marry the princess and become the king of the Nox empire.
-You mean the annoying bustard is going to marry the spoiled princess, the daughter of the crazy Verin…Damn! That's a good drama!" Andrew face lightened up with enjoyment and Kieran's anger start to build inside him.
"- you are talking about my uncle and his 'spoiled daughter 'as you said is gonna be your queen soon, so it's better for you to show respect."Andrew started laughing at the prince speech and said with a sweet tone before it turned stern and cold
"-so funny!...but I don't show respect to killers who their purpose in life is power and wealth. Those monsters! Who would kill innocent people, just to reach their desire. The only thing I can show them is pity." he finished taking a deep sip from his drink but Kieran clenched his fist till knuckles turned white.
"-ok guys keep your hate aside now, and Andrew by the way your protection spell on Ray's house is useless as…
-him." Finished Kieran with a smirk on his lips
"-what do you mean? And by the way; weren't Ray and Ellie supposed to be with you?
-A group of incubus attacked us before we ran to Ray's house. They were mainly attacking him, weird.
-well for someone who is a walking troublesome, and flirt with every girl he sees. I won't wonder that one of them came to teach him a lesson. And for the spell, it's impossible to break.
-I like him now." Said Kieran with a smile soon faded away when Andrew responded:
"-but I don't." then Mal continued
-well, it wasn't useful as you said, and one of our friends died because of that.
-that's way I sensed death in energy when you entered. I am sorry for your friend's death but the spell work perfectly, unless you got an incubus in.
-we are all humans.
-or maybe a cambion barged in.
-what's a cambion?
-he is half incubus, half human. But that's rare nearly impossible. and on my mom's grave, my spells works perfectly.
-we will discuss it later, did you find anything about what I have told you?
-nothing! This makes me more frustrated. I searched every book. But nothing comes in.
-Can I know what are you talking about?"Kieran asked curious
-a gem, why? You have knowledge about crystals?" Andrew answered him
-no just asking. What's special about a gem anyway?
-mom gave it to me on my sixth birthday before she died." explained before showing a golden necklace with a red gem.
"-it's pretty.
-so the one on your finger prince." Andrew Said staring with glowing golden eyes at the ring with the blue gem in the boy's hand.
Kieran covered quickly his hand glaring back at him but the other nevertheless kept his indifferent face.
"-we will go now." Said Malin standing up
"-be careful I guess a storm is coming soon.
-but it's sunny outside.
-we will see." Added the witch before glancing at the prince.....
