“Myst, I heard there is a lot you need to learn.” Owen smiles and I can see that he is older than I originally thought.
“I just need to understand something. What makes me the Key? I don't have any special ability like Kyoku does I'm just Myst. What even is this so-called key?”
He sighs and starts walking so I follow him. “They really didn't teach you anything on earth did they?” Shaking his head he stops in front of his chambers. “A proverb was put in place thousands of years ago that there will be a set of people that have an equal amount of angel and demon in them. I don't remember it exactly because one of the recorders decided to bury the evidence of it so it is just a legend. No one actually thinks that it will ever happen but I know that we will”
“So how do we possibly win something we have no evidence with?” I am looking at him my mind wandering a million miles an hour.
“That was never explained, I was just told that the two of you would have to figure that out on your own.” He smiles “Come here.” He opens his arms and I walk into his hug.
“Is my mother still alive?”
“I don't know. She disappeared couple years ago and no one has seen her since. She very well could be.” He takes a step back.
“Does that mean my sister is the Queen?” He nods and my jaw drops. “That means when you go…”
“NO! GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!” I hear Kyoku yelling.
I move past Own and rush back into the room. I stop by the door and see Kyoku yelling at Quin.
“YOU ARE NOT THE NEXT KING.” Kyoku’s voice is deeper than it normally is.
Beln is standing there in shock. I am sure he does not know what to do.
“Quin, why are you here?” I walk over as calmly as I can. Kyoku sends his shadows at me and I just stand there. They cover me like a second skin and, I know he is only doing it to protect me.
“Loverboy here didn't tell you?” He laughs. “Turns out the second Owen dies I am the new demon lord.” Smiling he walks towards me.
“What do you mean? The second Owen dies? Demon Lord?” My jaw drops.
Quin closes my mouth smiling. “I am Kyoku’s brother, he didn't tell you?”
I look at Kyoku over Quin's shoulder and his jaw is clenched. His eyes widen and he disappears. I hear a grunt behind me, turn and see Kyoku punch a guy in armor in the head. I then see Owen has a sword through his heart.
“Owen!” I run to him but Quin grabs my arm. I turn to him and my eyes go wide. There is no physical change but his power just doubled.
The power change makes me dizzy. Kyoku yells my name but I cant concentrate. I try to pull my arm from Quins hold but he won't let go. I try to go limp but Kyoku has his shadows holding me up.
“Quin let go of me.” I pull my arm and his grip only tightens. Kyoku’s shadow armor falters slightly.
Tightening his grip even more he breaks through the shadows. He smiles and looks past me.
“Get him out of my sight.” Quin waves his other hand.
I spin around to see Kyoku being dragged away. “Kyoku!” Quins grip tightens and I grimace. I spin around hitting him smack dab in the chest. “What do you want Quin?”
He smiles and starts walking dragging me along. “Since the moment I laid my eyes on you I knew, you were THE ONE. I thought, what better way to capture your heart than rule over the seven pits. Since the classic original way didn't work.” He smiles and I realize he is talking about earth.
All those days dating him it never really felt right. There was always something that felt off. I realize what it is now. He's pure evil.
