No one in the castle was asleep. Mr and Mrs Forster's and the other workers of the castle were sitting in the great hall, waiting for Asterin to come back. Cavin was sitting on the first step of the grand staircase for Damen to come down and tell she regained consciousness. Suzan was standing by the balcony of her room, looking up into the sky, she was in her deep thoughts.
Damen was laying beside unconscious Serin on the bed, staring the ceiling above him, he was busy in his deep thoughts about Artemis. He was chosen by her when he was a kid. She recognised something within the kid, which no one else noticed. She also made his youngest sister who was not born yet among other siblings, the princess of the moon.
It was midnight, Asterin with her group and Chen with his fellows were standing beside the tent. It was mysterious, they never saw that tent before at that place in the woods. They were amazed by it.
"What is your order Princess?", Chen consulted. Looking towards the Asterin who was standing clueless. "If you say, we can attack"
"Stop it, Mr Chen, we don't know who is in the tent. Our unsure suspicions can hurt innocent lives", she explained proudly making Chen chuckle. "I'll cast a spell on the tent, this will make everyone inside the tent walk out on their own. And they will be unstable that they can't fight with us if they are our enemies"
Chen nodded with a smirk and stepped back with his officers. Witches including Asterin gathered around the tent. They all hold each other's hands and formed a circle around the tent. Slowly, everyone closed their eyes also the wind flow around them increased gradually in speed.
Damen laying beside Serin turns his face to her. Serin was yet unconscious beside him. She didn't change positions a slight from her place. Worried Damen sit on his place and stare at her with a frown face. Prince was worried for the first time in his life for a girl and that too a human.
Serin's face was glowing by the moonlight. Her soft hairs were shining, even her pink plump lips were glowing in the moonlight. She was looking adorable and lovable at the same time. A slight smile touched charming Damen's lips and he began stroking her silky hairs back, gently.
He was busy admiring her face when his gaze caught the wound slowly began to glow on its own through the moonlight. His eyebrows crooked in confusion and he sat erect on his place. He quickly grabbed the scarf that Sofia tied up on her wound earlier and tied it back on her arm, pulling her sleeves down back.
Damen remembered his mother once tied his wound with a cloth to prevent moonlight falling on his wound. Wounds that don't heal shouldn't come in contact with moonlight, or they will not heal quickly. But this only happens with the citizens of Artemis, Damen was surprised that even humans have the same troubles regarding wounds and healing process.
"I almost forgot about this Serin, forgive me. I hope you heal quickly", he murmured looking at adorable serin and lean closer towards her face.
Yes, he won't want to fall for her, but at this moment she was attracting the arrogant charming Prince towards her. His heart was beating rapidly, bursting the sensations of love within his body. Damen forgot for a moment that she was a human and he didn't care anymore about the end of this.
Instead, he leaned more closer to her face. He was almost about to kiss her lips with dominance and pure love but he stopped himself. He felt it would come to be taking advantage of her when she was unconscious. Neither Serin would forgive him nor he would forgive himself.
"The day when you will come to me by yourself, that day would be the first kiss of our both. I'll wait for that day, Serin", he whispered to her with a smile on his plump lips, pink blush on his cheeks and he pecked her forehead.
He pulled himself back. He was about to stand up and walk towards windows to close them when a bright light from the moon begin shining luminously. It became tough for Damen to adjust his eyes to the bright light. His eyebrows met each other and eyes closed tightly because of it.
Asterin and her witches made the spell ready and were about to cast it on the tent when suddenly the bright light emitting by the moon stopped them. The looked-up to see what was it but it became difficult for all of them to adjust their eyes to that bright light.
They broke the circle formed by them and placed hands above their eyes to make an effort glimpsing at it clearly. Wolves closed their eyes and turned back to avoid the bright light. Where darkness was filled a few minutes earlier everywhere, the moonlight enlightened everything now within seconds, making it impossible for everyone to open their eyes.
The ray of light formed a sphere and slowly fell on the heaven land of Artemis. The island where it's impossible to go for anyone. It is covered with the great ocean around it which takes months to pass it with the ship from where no one came back. Every magic fails when it comes to going to heaven land. Neither the spell of witches work here, neither the black magic of Edurne, neither the powers of prince and princess. They all are nothing before the pure land of love, devotion and happiness.
In their myths, it is said that Artemis was born on that land and gained all her powers from that place. Later she made a guard for that land so no one could reach that place except her. If anyone tries, they won't stay alive until they reach that land.
After falling on the ground of heaven, the light vanished away making everything dark again. Damen stood up and looked through his window where the light fell, Also asterin understood where it fell on. They were surprised to know something fallen on heaven land from the sky for the first time.
"It's time to go back at castle", Asterin commanded everyone. The tent they were about to attack earlier changed into ashes now. Something was not good right now, Asterin stood at her place for a while glaring at the same brown ashes she saw earlier from that arrow. "Take the sample of this ashes and keep them safe", Asterin declared.
Witches nodded in approval and began collecting it in the tiny bottles. "What was that we saw earlier?", Chen asked.
"Something I'm afraid to be happy for", Asterin simply murmured and began walking back to the castle. Chen rolled up his eyes on her, he didn't understand her and followed the Princess behind her with his officers.
Damen kept staring at the heaven land which was looking tiny from the castle. After a few minutes, he sighed and shook his head and shuttered the windows. He then turned back to go near Serin but was surprised to see her sitting on her place and rubbing her eyes.
Damen was glad that she gained consciousness. He wished to quickly go and hug her but his ego and self-respect stopped him to do so. His personality and behaviour instantly changed back to the arrogant one, fading his smile of satisfaction away.
"You are awake little human? How was that long sleep?", he snickered. Serin looked up at him, he was standing beside the window with his arms and legs crossed. He was looking at her with a smirk which made her give him a disgusting look and roll up her eyes on him.
Damen walked towards her while stroking his hairs back, revealing his dark eyes. Serin checked him from head to toe, she remembered the last time she saw him playing with Asterin. This made her believe he's a pure playboy and will also misbehave with her as he did in the morning.
Serin tilted her head on both sides, stretching them making a cracking or popping sound. She also stretched her fingers before standing on her feet on the floor. Serin was ready to fight with him this time, she pulled up her robe sleeves and gestured Damen to come near her and begin a fight.
Damen let out a chuckle after watching her actions and simply grabbed her by her waist. Serin tried to pull back but that muscular charm prince didn't move a little. He smirked and pushed Serin back on the bed and hovered over her.
"Arent you getting hurt even a little?", he asked her in confusion. Even after getting a wound on her arm, at the same place, she was moving her hands freely as if nothing happened. "Stop! Don't move", he yelled at her.
"Who are you to yell at me you p*****t?", Serin yelled back. She pushed Damen aside on the bed with all her strength and hovered over him. She grabbed his hairs with her hands and began pulling them. "Smirking at me while stroking your hairs back huh? You p*****t, you deserve more slaps from me", Serin was about to slap him when Damen jumped up and seized her hands to prevent her from falling back on the ground.
"Stop it I say", he groaned giving Serin a death glare, he grabbed both her hands with his one hand. Serin was sitting now on his laps, her legs wrapped around his waist while her dress came up to her thighs, revealing her milky white skin. Damen didn't notice them but Serin did.
She tried to take her hands back from his grip and pull her dress down back but Damen didn't let her go from his grip. Instead, his grip tightened more and his other hand continued to push her robe down from one side.
"What the hell are you doing Damen!", she exclaimed and began moving to let her free from his grip. Her movements made her robe tear down, revealing her arms and the scarf tied on her arm. Serin stopped with the embarrassment and dug her face into his shoulders to hide her red face.
"Look what you did Serin, I told you to stop, but you- never mind", he said calmly and untied the scarf. Damen was entirely shocked, there was no wound on her arm. He checked everywhere on her arm but there was no mark of a wound anywhere.
Damen let go her hands and push Serin back grabbing her shoulders to check another arm. "What are you even doing Damen?", she asks in confusion and slaps his cheeks. Damen let out a gasp and touch his cheeks where she hit him. This time it was harsh than morning. Damen clenched his hands and pulled down the other side of her robe to check the wound on that arm.
He successfully checks it this time and there was no mark there too. His eyebrows were crooked into puzzlement. He looked up to ask her if she remembered the arrow hit her arms but what he got to see was mad Serin glaring him.
Her robe was pulled down by him until her waist, revealing her white skin of arms from the sleeveless dress under it. Also, her dress came up to her thighs, revealing them. Damen realized he was in complete danger now and no one was going to save him because this time it was his mistake.
"I- I apologise -", he made an effort to safeguard him but Serin cut off his words.
"Apology? You want an apology for your mistakes?", her hands turned into fists and she punched his another cheek. Later she pushed him back on the bed and grabbed his neck making him choke.
"Today I'll kill you, no matter if I get punished to do so. I'll kill you with my own hands, Damen", she screamed at her last words.
"I. can't. die", he spoke in between his breaths and let out a chuckle. He grabbed her hands and pushed them apart making Serin fall on his chest.
"If I could die, I would have killed myself years ago", he whispered in her ears making Serin take back her head from his chest.
"What does he mean by he can't die?", Serin thought in her mind. She didn't understand him. Her eyebrows met in confusion and she glared at Damen who was glaring her back.
For the next few minutes, both of them continued staring into the eyes of each other. The madness of anger was nowhere to see now, but the madness of love was arousing in them. Both of them were lost into the eyes of each other but this beautiful moment was disturbed by Asterin as she appeared inside the room without anyone's permission.
