Presently
Odetta
I walked through the busy market. It was very crowded. I was in the Demon kingdom. The demon kingdom is dark and gloomy with the villagers wearing black clothing. The demon kingdom is always dark. Nobody knows when it is day or night. The demon kingdom is full of mysteries. And their king, King Orion is a ruthless king that rules with an iron fist. He only cares about his kingdom. Stories have spread far and wide about the king. He has never lost a battle; he is a god on the battlefield. No kingdom ever wants to be at war with the demons. The demons are very ruthless.
Since the incident that happened with my parents i never stayed in a place for too long. I moved place to place. It wasn't easy hiding my identity. My golden hair and red and blue eyes was something that was too obvious. The first 2 years was hard for me i have been in danger couple of times. But thankfully i learnt how to make myself invincible. I went back to my hut after a week everything was in ruins i saw some belongings i picked the important things i could find. I luckily saw my parent spell books. I used it to train my powers. As for sword fighting. I used a log to build something i could fight with. I trained. I always train. When i got in trouble. I turn invisible if no Warlock or witches were around cause the powerful one's could detect me. Not easily but they can. If they are around i teleport. When i was 14 i learned a spell that could change my appearance. So i changed it. Everybody that look at me will think i am just a normal supernatural. I decided to hide my elements. My hair is brown now with my eyes.
The incident with my parents was well known. And every kingdom big or small is searching for me. I don't make friends nor do I stay in a place for too long. I only hide my elemental powers but I can still use my elements. It's only when I feel strong emotion that is when my spell will break. Not love, anger and rage that is what will break my spell. If my spell break everyone will know that I am the tribrid.
Walking through the market I went to a cart. The man was selling some fruits. I bought some, paying the man I was on my way. I bought things I need for my soup ingredients. Suddenly I heard a commotion.
'it's the king!'
``It's king Orion! Quickly bow, we don't want to be punished!'
'What is he doing here, he doesn't come to the market!' The market women were whispering. I also bow. I don't want to draw attention to myself. King Orion can be very wicked. I have heard lots of bad things about him. He is very ruthless.
I knee on the floor with my head bow like the others. I looked up then I saw a small child. He should be around 2years old. He sat on the aisle where the king was going to pass. The king was getting closer. Where is the mother! I quickly stood up. I ran to the child and picked him up. I wanted to run back to my spot when a guard caught me.
'You there!' He came over and grabbed my arm.
'don't you know the rules!? He said, grabbing my arm harshly.
'I am so…' he cut me off.
'Keep shut peasant! Now come with me' he said. I could teleport or turn invisible. But I'm with someone else's child. I can't do that. He grabbed me harshly and pushed me forward. I was still carrying the child. He took me to another guard. Based on the colour of his armour he should be of higher authority or a General.
'General Achilles!, we caught this one not bowing' the guard said
'Hey! I was bowing. I just wanted to pick the child! I replied. The guard struck me hard on my left cheek. I could feel the blood in my mouth. The child ran out of my hands. Should have just bowed.
He dragged me up. Why do demons have such a bad temper?
' general what should I do to her for her disobedience' the guard asked.
'Strike her in the back 10 times' the general replied. I won't allow them to strike me for saving a child! I brought 2 hands up and I pushed it towards the guard chest. I added a little bit of power. The guard went flying into one of the wagon's. I wanted to teleport then I smelled something. Something different and intoxicating I took a deep breath. In my moment of distraction the guard used his power on me. The black powder hit me in my stomach. I looked at my stomach and it was forming a black nasty bruise. Since I have a werewolf gene it will heal.
'What is going on here?' A loud clear voice full of authority asked. That voice I felt a pull towards it and the smell got stronger. I looked up. My lord it was the king. I looked him in the eye and he also looked at me. I knew what it meant. He was my mate!
Mates are sacred, few are lucky to feel the mate bond. Those who have mates cherish the bond and the mate. Those who are not blessed with a mate. Take a mate. Some love their chosen mate, some don't. The bond won't be there like real and true mates. My parents were true mates. That is why they risked everything they couldn't give up their love and bond. They knew they would be in danger if they birth a tribrid but they did. I looked at the red eyes of my mate. I know he is feeling the pull but it is less since this is not my real appearance he can't say for sure if I'm his mate or not.
I never wanted a mate. I just wanted to avenge my parents. Now I am mated to the man who has been searching for the tribrid.
