AARAAV'S POINT OF VIEW-
I was about to kill Rose, she betrayed me if Diana did not stop me, I would surely kill her and I was sure I would not feel any remorse after doing that, Athena was my priority, I loved her most in this whole world for her if I had to stand in front of God I would do that, I would not let anyone harm her. I was going to another realm to fulfill my duty for a few days and this wicked ungrateful mermaid betrayed me, I generally did not want to show any kindness towards anyone but sometimes I remembered the words of my true love and I showed some kindness to some people but today I learned my lesson, weak people were always ungrateful no matter what you did for them they would stab you behind your back.
"Why did you stop me from killing her Diana? You know I do not like betrayal." I said to Diana.
"Because if you want Rihana back in the Demon Realm, then if you kill Rose it will create a problem," Diana said to me.
"What problem, if Rihana does not come by her wish, I will force her to do so," I said to Diana.
"You forget about the demon's rituals Aaraav, in demons ancient book it was written that a demon's mate must follow the ' soul binding ceremony' of demons and in this ritual both partners or soul mate should enter without any fear and force and it was obvious that if you killed Rose she would fear you," Diana said to me.
"There must be free will and consent from both partners in this ritual," Aaryaan blurted out.
"f**k the rules, first of all, that woman will never give her free consent neither I want her free consent," I said.
"Yup, I know that she is really stubborn that I understand already but Elder Demon council will ask her she would give her consent willingly or not, and if she blurted out "no" that time it will be a game over, until unless she gave the free consent you can't do anything and you know that this special ritual can be held on a special day and in demon realm that special day comes only once in every five years though demons realm five years is equal to two and half years in the earth I believe you do not have that much time in your hand Aaraav," Diana said to me.
I hated to admit this but the truth was that I did not have that much time in my hand. I had to complete this ritual this time at any cost.
"Diana you are an angel but your planning is cruel," Aaryaan said.
"Yup, I know that, that's why I am a fallen angel," Diana declared proudly.
"You are impossible," Aaryaan said.
"By the way, Rihana is in problem because you know the door of the gate is present in sss forest in the earth and no human can survive that area and Rihana does not have any magical power, then why does she take the risk ?" Diana said.
"We should ask Rose about this," Aaryaan said to us.
We nodded our head and started to walk towards the dungeon, "Aaraav, please control your temper, I will ask Rose about everything," Diana said to me and just nodded my head and we entered the dungeon,
"Rose, you know Rihana is a human why do you help her to cross the gate, and without any magical power, how will she survive?" Diana asked.
"She has the magical recorder, it will help her to reach her home safely," Rose replied.
"What is a magical recorder?" I asked.
"Oh no," Aaryaan said.
Diana looked at Aaryaan and sensed that Aaryaan was hiding something from me.
I gave Aaryaan one of my signature looks and he understood that I wanted to know the truth.
"Okay do not be angry, I gave her the magical recorder, so she can use it," Aaryaan said and as soon as he finished his sentence, I grabbed his collar and slammed him on a wall, and said "You also betrayed me," venom was dripping from my voice.
"No, I will never betray you, I did not do anything, it was a magical recorder with few basic magic spells," Aaryaan managed to say with a lot of difficulties because I held his throat tightly.
I threw him another corner of the dungeon and spun around and said to Rose "Tell me the whole truth......... Any lie will lead you to the path of destruction, so choose your words carefully and do not lie."
Rose sensed that I lost all my patience so she told me all the truth and how Rihana recorded the transportation spell in the magical recorder.
"Oh my God, I can't believe she can execute such a plan," Diana said.
"Yeah, I knew it she is not so innocent," I said instantly, I was fuming inside, I knew from the beginning that she was cunning and manipulative.
Ayaan was finally stood on his feet and he was coughing badly but somehow he managed to say "But that magical recorder only works on this demon realm it will not work on earth."
"What?" I and Rose said in unison.
"Yes, I told you I do not want to betray you, I gave her one magical recorder so that she does not feel like an outsider in this demon realm, so I put some basic magic spell on that recorder, but the magic recorder will not work on earth," Aaryaan said to us.
"What? That means Rihana is in danger," Rose cried out.
I looked at her, I was very angry but what Rose said was absolutely true, Rihana was in danger, I need to find her quick, I did not know why but I felt worried and one idea cross my mind if something bad happened to her, what if she would not be able to survive, she was a mere human after all.
"No, no, nothing will happen to her, "I said loudly.
"What? what you are saying?" Aaryaan asked me.
"Nothing, We have to find her quickly, Rihana is a human, she would not able to survive in that forest for a longer period of time, she needs help, call our best warrior, tracker, and enforcer. We are going to earth to find her," I said.
A FEW HOURS LATER-
AARYAAN'S POINT OF VIEW-
We were searching for Rihana in the sss forest, Aaraav was standing just beside me, suddenly one demon tracker mind-linked me and said "General Aaryaan, I found the magical recorder."
"Bring that recorder here," I mind-linked him.
Within a few seconds that tracker transported himself in front of us, he was about to handover me the magical recorder but before that Aaraav grabbed it, I looked at his face, his face was showing a different kind of emotion, what happened I thought in my mind and then suddenly my eyes fell on the magical recorder, there was blood all over it!!!
Aaraav sniffed the recorder and his eyes suddenly changed and it was now a deadly pool of black, I knew that his demonic power was now in control and black veins started to appear on his face and all over his body, the tracker who gave us the magical recorder was cowering now and I did not blame him. Aaraav did not lose control over his power that easily but when his demonic powerfully activated and his physical appearance changed fully into a demon, it was dangerous.
I placed my hand on Aaraav's shoulder and asked him "What happened?"
I knew that he was fighting with himself to control his outburst, some shifters like werewolves had two different entities in one body, one is human and the other one is wolf but for demons, we were one we were not two different entities so, it was more difficult for us to regain control when our demonic side completely took over.
But Aaraav was not any common demon, he was demon lord, after all, so he managed to control himself and he said "It's the blood of some vampire."
"What ?" I asked.
He handed over the recorder to me and I sniffed it and he was right it was the blood of some vampire, we demons could smell the blood and could identify the creature through it, it was a basic ability all high-class demons possessed.
"Rihana is in danger," I said to him.
"We have to find her first," Aaraav said to me and he mind-linked all the trackers, warriors, and enforcers to find Rihana quickly and also ordered that the mind link of everyone should be open so we could hear everyone's thoughts.
And if you wondered that if he was going to open his mind-link for all of us were we able to hear all of his thought? The answer is yes and no!!! I mean he will open his link for all of us but we would be able to hear any of those thoughts which he wanted to share with us do not ask me how he did that!! Because no one knows the right answer but I guessed that he was able to do that because he was a hybrid.
After a few minutes one of the trackers mind-linked us "My Lord, General, I found a treehouse."
'Stay there, we are coming, "Aaraav replied to him, then he looked at me, I nodded my head and we both teleported ourselves to that treehouse. we stood on the balcony of the treehouse, we both looked at our tracker who was watching the fence intently, he looked at both of us and said " My Lord please check this," and pointed his finger towards a particular part of the fence.
Aaraav moved quickly and stopped just before the fence and I followed him, we both looked at the fence and saw that bloodstain was there, Aaraav sniffed that blood and his eyes flashed a different type of emotion, it was mixed with pure concern and worries.
"What happened? Who's blood it is?" I asked him.
"It is Rihana's blood," he whispered.
I cursed under my breath, we went inside the room and Aaraav sniffed the air then he said "Rihana was here Aaryaan, I can smell her strawberry scent, though it was faint but I knew that she was here."
"Do not worry Aaraav we will find her, nothing will happen to her," I try to assure him but I was already worried for Rihana, we found some vampire's blood on the magical recorder, and now her blood on the fence, Rihana is a human and vampires drink human blood.
"If something bad happened to her Aaryaan and if some vampire harmed her, I swear I will wipe out all the vampires on the earth," Aaraav said to me, I knew that he was trying hard to control his outburst.
He pulled out the magical recorder from his pocket and said "Let's go to the Light Witch Council, they will find who is the bloody vampire?"
I nodded my head and we both teleported ourselves in front of the Light Witch Council building, Aaraav then mind-linked all our warriors, tracker, and enforcers who were searching for Rihana and said "Everyone, teleported yourself in front of the ' Light Witch Council Building' and wait there until my next order."
Then we entered the council building, I saw fear in every witches eye who was present there, Aaraav stood in front of one Elder witch viz, Giana, she was now head of the Light Witch Council and handed her the magical recorder and said "Find out who's blood it is?" He did not ask for help he just ordered her.
The elder witch Giana frowned her face but she did not say anything and took the magical recorder, I knew that Giana did not like Aaraav's attitude but I knew Aaraav did not care for anything and anyone what he needed he got because no one was capable enough to protest.
Giana gestured us to follow her and she entered the witches secret ritual room and few other elder witches also entered inside the room and Giana performed the ritual, she washed the recorder in one large bowl and mixed a few potions in it, and then the liquid texture in the bowl started to boil, then he took that bowl and poured that boiling liquid upon a crystal ball, smoke covered the crystal ball and when the smoke started to disappear after few minutes we saw a face inside the crystal ball and I saw the face of Giana by her expression me and Aaraav both understood that Giana knew that vampire.
"Who is he?"Aaraav asked her.
Giana looked at our face and said "Prince Matthew."
"Where do we find him?" Aaraav asked.
Giana said, "Why do you want to find him?"
Aaraav looked at Giana's face and within a few seconds Giana screamed "Do not do that demon Lord."
I looked at Aaraav's face and understood that he was reading Giana's mind and within seconds he read her mind and looked at me and said "Bloody Matthew Fernandez!" then he suddenly disappeared.
"f**k!" I cursed under my breath then I asked Giana "Tell me where does that vampire live?" Giana told me that Matthew is the crown prince of one of the vampire kingdoms.
I cursed under my breath again. I had to go before Aaraav took the same drastic step but before that, I went outside the council building and looked at the demons warriors, trackers, and enforcers, they were still present here and they would not move from here until and unless Aaraav gave them the order.
Aaraav was now in one of the vampire kingdoms looking for the kingdom's crown prince and the kingdom warriors and everyone would try to protect their crown prince at any cost.
I quickly transported myself in the vampire kingdom and when I went inside the courtroom there was chaos everywhere, few vampires guard and warriors were badly injured and some other guards were trying to reach one corner of the courtroom and hot blazing fire surrounded them in three sixty degrees and there was no escape and I knew it was hellfire, only demons were capable of creating this fire the stronger the demon was, the firepower also increased and Aaraav is the demon Lord so he had the supreme capacity to create this dangerous hellfire and it was known as ninth level hellfire, which was supremely dangerous.
Aaraav was controlling the fire by his mind otherwise this fire would roast the vampires and a few minutes more they would turn into ashes.
I looked at the corner where all the vampires tried to reach and saw that Araav was holding a person by his throat on that corner and he was struggling hard to free himself from Aaraav's clutches but nope, no use, and I teleported myself to that corner and saw the face clearly and it was the vampire prince Matthew Fernandez.
"Aaraav do not kill him," I said to him.
"It will cause a vampire-demon war," I said to him again.
"I do not care and I am alone enough to finish this kingdom," Aaraav said venom was dripping in his voice.
"Please we need information, where Rihana is?" I said to him.
"This bloody vampire does not want to say anything about Rihana," Aaraav said loudly.
"You can read his mind, just come down and use your brain," I said to Aaraav. He was very angry that's why he was not acting wisely, anger was self-destructive indeed.
Aaraav listened to me and now he entered Matthew's mind, he tried to resist it. "Do not protest, the more you try to resist it, it will hurt more," I said to him.
But that vampire was stubborn and he was resisting it and after a few minutes Aaraav opened his eyes anger was evident in his eyes and he said "Tell me, why she said that you are her friend and why she offered her blood to you? Tell me? damn it!"
"what you are saying? what you have seen and heard in his mind?" I said to him. I forgot to mention that Aaraav was capable to see the past incident in someone's mind like a movie.
"Nothing, I did not see anything properly some unclear picture and neither I was able to hear anything properly, few broken sentence," Aaraav said.
"What? That's impossible..." I said to him.
Suddenly vampire king and queen of this kingdom entered the courtroom and the queen screamed "Matt!!!!!"
"Leave my son, " king screamed, Aaraav paid no attention to their word and suddenly transported himself just in front of the king and lift him by using his magic and then he looked at his right palm and hellfire appeared in his hand and he addressed Matthew "I hope you love your father crown prince, now tell me where Rihana is? or your father will turn into ashes within few minutes, do not try my patience."
Matthew said, "Leave him, bastard!"
Aaraav paid no attention to his words and was about to throw the fire in the king's direction, then Matthew said "Stop. please stop, I send Rihana to her home."
Aaraav released the king suddenly and he fell on the floor with a loud thud!
"Dad!!" Matthew screamed.
Aaraav transported himself in front of Matthew and pulled him by his hair and looked directly at his eyes and said "Why did you help her? you filthy bloodsucker!!!"
"Because she is my friend," Matthew said.
"Okay, let's see........ how much your friend cares for you?" Aaraav said then he looked at me and mind-linked me "I was taking this douchebag with me in the demon realm." and then he teleported himself with Matthew.
"Matt," King and queen screamed at the same time, I understood their concern but I could not able to do anything in this matter. So, I said to them "Do not worry, Once we will find Rihana, we will return your son safely." Then I teleported myself into the demon realm.
I went towards the dungeon and without asking any of our guards I went straight to the scariest and dangerous dungeon of the demon realm, and when I entered the cell Matthew was tightly chained against one pillar.
I asked Aaraav "What do you want to do?"
"Take some pictures of this douchebag and Rose and send those pictures to Rihana, let me see how she cares for her friends," Aaraav said to me.
I did not have any choice, so I did exactly what he instructed me to do.
RIHANA'S POINT OF VIEW-
I was playing with my phone, suddenly in my messaging app some pictures came from one unknown number, the auto-download option was enabled in my phone, so out of curiosity I downloaded those pictures and suddenly my blood became cold, these were the pictures of Matt and Rose and they were chained and they were badly injured especially, Matt.
My body started to shake uncontrollably in fear, my friends are in danger and I am the reason!!!
