Lucifer was dancing with joy within him as he read khalan's thought. He had waited so long for her to feeling that way. He wanted to claim her already and was running out of patience too.
He was awoken from his daydream when he sensed the presence of another demon other than himself, around the vicinity. His senses sharpened and his eyes darted around as his focus left the prize(khalan\Sheba).
For some seconds, the scent seized. He felt calm but not really relaxed. He just wanted to take khalan out of here. 'Wait, where is khalan? '
*ln the rivers of Gared, beyond the lands of Cullen. (The marine world in beneath the river) *
The strange man from earlier reappeared. Khalan was screaming at the top of her voice" let me go! , who are you?, leave me alone!! ".
He just let go of her and made her sit on a chair. It was then that Khalan had the opportunity to look at her environment, were was she exactly, she couldn't recognize the place, or liken it to anywhere she has seen today. It looked very beautiful with decoration of gold everywhere, the place looked breathtaking. Although today was her first time of leaving the barrier, she was tempted to say that this was the most beautiful place on earth.
"Don't move " the man said with authority, jolting her from her thoughts "l will call my queen to meet you at once ". He walked away from her to the inner chambers of the place.
Immediately khalan saw he was out of sight, she stood up from the chair, to savor the place the more. It looked too beautiful to be true. She used her hands to trace the wall decoration as she let her gaze rake the whole place she just opened her mouth in awe. She didn't feel the least embarrassed by her actions, she knew she was lacking composure, but the whole place was fascinating.
Suddenly, she heard sounds of foot steps in from the inner chambers heading towards the room she was at. She turned immediately facing the exit of the room as she was too anxious to know who the so called queen was and what she wanted from her. Immediately, a magnificent figure stepped into the room, khalan's jaw dropped. She was too beautiful to be true. She had a pink hair, 'very strange' khalan thought , and blue eyes too. She was extremely beautiful and looked like a doll.
"Sheba" the queen called out to khalan who had the most confused look ever.
*back in Cullen*
Lucifer had the most confused look on his face, he was outrageously fumed. How could have let her out of his sight, where could she be. He thought as his heart burned in anger. He felt like he was losing his mind, or maybe he was losing it. He became invisible immediately and started searching around for. When he couldn't find her, he teleported immediately to his world in the darkness. He summond his league of demons immediately and asked them to find her immediately.
"Anyone, who finds khalan and brings her to me alive, would receive a higher rank in this world of darkness ". Lucifer said as he was utterly going insane.
'He was really losing his mind. How can he summon the powerful league of demons, just because of the disappearance of a mere girl' he thought to himself 'no she was a mere girl, she was Sheba the enchantress supreme and most of all her tittles, she was his mate'. And was going to stop at nothing until he finds her.
Now he really wished she would awaken the Sheba in her, so that he could trace her whereabouts. Using his blood to subdue her also gave him the advantage to know where she is whenever she awakens her soul by using her powers. "Where ever you are khalan, my Sheba l would find you and that's a promise" he said assuring himself and hoping she wasn't in any danger.
*back in the marine world, the depths of Gared*
"Who are you ? "she managed to say as she was confused to the core. "Please, l think you have the wrong person. My name is khalan not Sheba " she said trying so hard not to show fear in her voice.
"Is that what he made you believe", the queen laughed. "Oh my dear, l wish your true self will awake immediately, who knows what amount subduing bonds he used to hold you down". She said with concern in her voice.
'True self, awake, subduing bonds?? What was she talking about " khalan puzzled within her. "Like l said before lady, you have the wrong person" she repeated in confidence that there was a misunderstanding.
"Don't call me that Sheba that's not what you knew me as, well how can l blame you when he has sealed your memory too ". She said now making an attempt to cup her face, but khalan flinched back. She didn't push through any longer she just gave her a sad look, she knew what Lucifer did to her, hence she used her siren voice to speak to her now with power emitting from her words she could use it to atleast break into her memory and revive some of it.
"l have waited so long to have you back and now you're rejecting me!" she started in her siren tone. "I know what it took me to spot you and rescue you from him claiming you as a mate. Sheba wake up, leave this daze he has put you in. Lucifer wants claim you forcefully " she said with concern and worry written all over her face.
Khalan took a few steps backwards she was having a terrible headache with all the woman was saying, as if she was using her words to cause her migraines.
"Wake up Sheba! " she began to scream repeatedly. "Its me , wake up Sheba my enchantress , wake up! ".
As she kept talking, khalan felt as though she was losing her sanity as if she was going to burst open. "Aaaaaaaah" she screamed "stop talking it hurts so bad". She managed to say with all the pain she was bearing at the moment. She couldn't no longer stand, she just squatted on the floor, holding her head.
"I won't stop until you wake up from the day dream he has put you in" she said with concern.
Just then, khalan couldn't feel herself again. Her body glowed emerald and she began to recall memories of her past with this woman, though they weren't clear yet, but she now knows her name and who she was.
The woman looked at her and saw that her body glowed, she stopped talking and the pain seized immediately. She stoop low to where she squated and called her with concern "Sheba? ".
Sheba looked her, she could now recognize her because she was partially awoken. She stared directly into her blue orbs and answered "yes Elisha, Its me " she breathed, "your Sheba".
Elisha was overjoyed, she helped her stand up and then hugged her saying "oh Sheba, l missed you so much, l had to sacrifice alot just to make you recall me" she said with concern.
"And why would you do that" Sheba asked her getting worried about how she was faring.
"I did it all because l love you, yes Sheba l love you so much" she said as she locked her lips with hers it a kiss.
"Nooooo " a voice screamed as a big blast was made and their bodies got seperated in different sides in the room.
"Not in this world Elisha " the voice said in anger.
Elisha raised her head to see who it was, lo and behold, it was the devil himself. "Lucifer? "
