In the middle of the wildness stood a tall tower. On top of the tower was a black coral spinning around the top. The tower only had one room and one window here a dark secret society lives. They were all dressed in black with tattoos all over their faces and bodies. The inner room was most made and decorated with skulls snd flesh of humans. In the middle of the room were men who surrounded the unconscious girl on the floor.
"What if he comes?"
"That is what we want. The dragon ring shows her relationship with him. I haven't killed her because I know she is the key to being him over."
"What if he doesn't." Another asked.
"The ring tells it all. He will come because she has the ring."

Devan trailed the horse prints towards the forest. They must have passed through Klepnon.
"Devon should have warned Phil about this path."
He walked further into the forest, still tracing the tracks. He reached a place where he saw rough tracks on the floor. He turned confuse, as he looked side by side, if he could see any horse or person around.
He wanted to continue his walk, perhaps he might see the horses they took, but his ears caught an odd breathe. He turned his head to look at the place where the he heard the faint breathing, and walked there.
He walked into the bush, and there were two half dead horses.
He raised his brows in shock and examined the horses very well. The blood is warm, which means the horses must have have been wounded not so long ago. Leticia and Phil were not on the horses, which means something bad must have happened to them.
He walked away from the horses and continued his journey. He finally reached a place which reeked of blood and black magic.
"Sorcery. Black magic."
Like a flash, a spear swept towards him, but he was quite to dodge. He furrowed his brows, looked further, to see the Kingdom greatest enemies. The black Mensamor. This people was the first group of people his brother had planned to kill the minute he arrive from the bloody war.
The black Mensamor are group of dark sorcerers who mainly use blood and human parts for magic, power and money. They are the most cunning beast in form of humans.
Years ago, Devon had killed a whole bunch of them. But not getting a hold of their leader was like spearing the queen of bedbugs and killing a whole bunch of it's army. It will spring up and give birth to more.
And now the black Mensamor had done it.
They were four of them holding on to arrows and spears. They perfectly aimed at him and shot, but the man was very quick.
He unsheathe his sword and charged towards them.

I flicked my lashes twice to be able to see the place I slept clearly. I felt a huge deal of headache like a struck on my head.
"Argh!"
I sat up and made a groan. The previous occurrence flashed on my mind. Oh no, where am I?
I looked around, just to see more horrifying things. Are those skulls? Human tongues. Eyes? Bones? Where am I?
I moved back, and suddenly hit something behind me. I quickly turned around to see a huge man in black. He also have black tattoos on his face, and more, he looks really scary.
"Help!" I yelled at the top of my voice. I felt hot tears rushing down my eyes, as I moved away from him. I am really scared. I don't want to die. "Please don't kill me." I begged.
"Why?" He simply asked. This person in front of me is definitely a devil. Just taking a look at the way he was speaking, terrifies the cell out of me. I really don't want to be butchered or eaten like a chicken.
"B... because.... because..." My eyes rolled to my finger. Yes! The ring. Even the crown prince was scared to hurt me because of the ring, and besides Devon would kill them, right?
"The ring. I am Devon's fiancee."
"Really?!" He suddenly bent over to look at me, and that really scared the life out of me.
"No, no, please go away." I was scared he would pounce on me and eat me. His poked his tongue out and laughed drastically, then suddenly stopped laughing.
"That was side splitting. Do you actually think I am scared of a thousand year dragon?" He giggled, before standing straight. Wait, how old?
"I want to see what that dragon is made of. I want to know what he can do."
"Wait he can...."
"Take off her clothes." He suddenly commanded. Wait, what?
No, no. I quickly covered my body with my hands. "no, don't come near me."
I heard loud footsteps behind me, but I still grasp the cloak tightly around my body. I felt the hand on my shoulder, and like a fling, the cloak was thrown off my body.
"Argh!" I screamed loudly. "Don't touch me. Devon will kill you if you touch me, you bastards."
"What is she wearing?" I heard one of them say.
"Take it off. Let the dragon come and see his socalled fiancee naked."
"No!" I held onto my shirt tightly. I don't want him to see me naked. Infact, I want no one to see me naked. No!!
I heard chattering of steel in a far away place. The men who wanted to take off my clothes, quickly let go of me to check what was happening. And suddenly,bathe men was left flying around like pieces of trash.
What was that? I wondered. Well, who cares? Far as I get out of here.
A figure appeared into the room. Devan. Oh, he is here to save me right?
"Devan?!" I called out in fear. He will save me. He come instead to save me. I was glad.
"Don't worry Leticia. I will get you out of here."
