The Heavenly realm…
Young Raul's POV
Time was infinite in the heavenly realm. The sun always cast its spell on the realm and after having THE TALK with The supreme.
It's been on my mind and I couldn't tell Father because I knew he wouldn't be happy to see me leave his side.
But I had to do this, I want to be someone he would be proud of even though I know he is already proud.
There was a secret I had kept hidden from him for so long. I have once visited the mortal realm and met a girl who seemed to resemble him.
At first, I thought she might be related to him but she had no divine power, she was an ordinary mortal and beautiful.
She saved me thinking I was a weak mortal like her and I found it amusing but I had to stop myself from developing any feelings for her since she was a mortal.
I promised Father not to ever fall for a mortal and I intended to keep that.
I left a message only he could find and read and left for the mortal realm through the heavenly gate.
On my way, I felt someone was following me and so I played along and hid myself to catch the person following behind me.
A little closer to the heavenly gate, I finally got hold of the person who looked confused and wondered where I was.
I pulled the person towards me and we bumped into each other.
"Ouch" the person exclaimed. And so I pulled away, to see clearly who was following me.
"Hey you nearly had me there"
"Kalia" I called out.
"W-what are you doing here? Why did you follow me?"
She just smiled at me, making my heart flutter for a moment. Kalia was beautiful just like her mother and her beauty had caught many gods and guardians in the realm.
Kalia
(Breathing heavily)
"I wanted to know where you were going and seeing how close you are to the heavenly gates it only means that you are leaving for the mortal realm.
Can I tag along"
"What! You can't, your family hates me and besides going to the mortal realm has nothing to do with you."
Kalia
(Tearing up)
"I know that and my family hating you has nothing to do with me, I like you and that is all that matters."
"No and no, they will search for you and when they can't find you, they will probably think I kidnapped you"
Kalia
(Laughed)
"Don't be silly, why will they think that? I have always wanted to visit the mortal realm and see what is like to live among them. You know some of the demi-gods live among them."
"Huh," I was startled by what she said. Demi-gods living among mortals, it's on heard of but it's not surprising for her to find out, since her father is the ruler of hell.
Kalia
(Tearing up)
"You have always been mean to me. I know you don't like me but you are just being unfair to me now"
If there was anything I hated, it was seeing someone tearing up because of me. I was my weakness and I couldn't let her cry.
I sighed and drew closer to her and suddenly she hugged me tight.
Kalia
(Softly)
"I promise I won't cause any trouble while we are together and you don't have to worry about my family. If anything happens to me you won't be blamed I promised."
I chuckled. "I won't let anything happen to you, We may not be related by blood but I consider you my little sister"
She frowned and knowing her she wasn't pleased with me calling her little but this time around she didn't argue with me.
There was no time to waste, together we left the heavenly realm. And one thing I am sure of is "The king of hell will be after my head"
"Huh"
I guess I said that out loud. "Nothing"
Kali's chambers
He called his two sons to his chambers and asked the whereabouts of their sister.
They stared at each other and shook their head.
"What do mean by shaking your head?"
"Father Kalia is nowhere to be found. She was with us a while ago, suddenly she ran off to the supreme knows where" his eldest son said.
Kali
(Raised his voice in anger)
"You are supposed to look after her, she is your little sister remember"
"But father, she is probably somewhere watching that demi-god, Raul, who she is so obsessed with. She is not the only one, many of the ladies drool over him" the youngest son added.
Unbeknownst to them Rhoda was eavesdropping on them and yelled after hearing Raul's name.
Rhoda
(Yelled)
"What did you just say, Rino? Tell me!"
Rino
(Stuttering)
K-Kalia h-has been obsessing over the demi-god for a while now and so she is probably…"
Rhoda
(Angry)
"You two better find your sister before I send you off to hell to spend some time with the demons"
They flinch after hearing their mother's words and run off in search of their sister.
Kali who noticed how upset his wife was, suddenly hugged her from behind, startling her.
Kali
(Softly)
"Love, don't be upset, there is no way our daughter will set her eyes on that demi-god, she is my daughter remember, the king of hell"
Rhoda
(Serious)
"I have a bad feeling about this Kali, I don't think it's just an obsession, she might be in love with him"
He let go of her and faced her. "That is not possible" Kali defended.
Rhoda
(Certain)
"Have you paid attention to him? He is no longer a young boy but a man now and as much as hate to admit it, he is as handsome as his father or probably more beautiful and handsome."
For a moment Kali flinched and his anger and despise towards Raul resurfaced.
Kali
(Anger)
"He dares not play around with my daughter or he will have to deal with me"….
Kingdom of Damascus
Raul's POV
We had been in the mortal realm for four moons and nothing special seemed to have happened to us.
I knew nothing of the mortal realm. We were strangers in a foreign land.
They were similar to us in features but undoubtedly we were stronger. I had been here before it was a short period in which I almost lost my life but was saved by my father's lookalike.
We were able to secure a room to stay. Two rooms for the two of us, I didn't want her to feel uncomfortable.
I had a mission of which I had little knowledge but still needed to do it to face my father once more.
Being in the mortal realm I noticed how they get staring at me whenever I went to get something for us to eat.
Luckily we had the same taste in food so it was easier to consume their food. They kept giving me stares especially the ladies.
I went back every time to ask Kalia if our cover had been blown but she always seemed to find it funny and left me hanging.
It seemed the people were in a festive period. They danced and performed so many acts.
One day as I walked through the crowd, we were suddenly pushed back due to people riding on a horse.
They were in armor, looking just like knights, and wondered who they were, Curiosity got to me so I asked around and found out, they were knights of a big and famous kingdom.
They were here on business and political matters. After being here I wished I could meet the young lady I met when I came here but it was nothing but a dream.
"Yaaah" a voice on a horse voiced out while riding. A few steps away from me, the person in question came into view. She gracefully led her horse through the crowd.
The wind followed her like a shadow. Her hair was exposed and I recognized that hair as she rode away.
It was her but not the little girl I met in the forest. I had no time to have those thoughts so I moved on.
We worked hard to be recognized. Sometimes we had to pretend to be married partners to get what we wanted.
Days turned into months, which I meant from a few friends we came to meet.
When I finally figured out who I was supposed to meet and monitor, he was in another kingdom.
Rumors of advisors caught my attention and I figured it would help me get closer to him.
Someone visited me and offered me something I couldn't refuse.
Being the prince of Amira's ADVISOR...
