Chapter 44: The Demon Clan's Territory

Amaris' eyes widened. She didn't expect to reach this far. She knew the Demon Clan's territory was in the southern part of Oprea.

Athanasia told her that Sura has anger issues, but he changed because he fell in love with a girl. She looked at the girl beside Sura. It must be her. No, it is her. She was sure of it. She thought to herself.

"Aunt told me about you and the girl. I was curious and wanted to meet you after meeting with the Elysian Elders. I didn't expect to see you this soon." She responded.

Sura frowned. "Aunt? And why do you want to meet me?"

Amaris gulped and bit her lips. She hesitated at first, then took a deep breath before answering.

"Aunt Asia, your sister. I was told your mate was like me, that her body was an empty shell. She didn't have an anima. I have my anima inside this body, but my real corpus was somewhere in Tartarus. I wanted to know how she could be alive without her anima."

Sura's expression became dark. It was like Athanasia told Amaris. Sura didn't like talking about his mate.

"Leave. You are lucky to be alive because you are Phelan's daughter. If I heard you mention that again, I swear I will send you to the deepest part of hell." Sura answered, controlling his anger.

Amaris' heart started to pound. He didn't yell at her. His voice was calm, but she felt the chills from the back of her neck when he said those words.

She was about to leave when a sudden gust of wind blew, making her turn around.

"They're here." She said.

Sura suddenly looked at the blue sky. Amaris couldn't see anything, but she could smell the scent of blood.

"Focus. Remember, your eyes cannot only see what's in front of you but further beyond your imagination." Sura told Amaris.

Then he walked towards her while his wings slowly appeared on his back. When he got closer to Amaris, he reached her face, pointing his finger to her forehead. Amaris gasped for air when he saw Sura's long and sharp nails come out from his fingers.

His eyes turned blood red, and when his finger reached Amaris' forehead, she felt an electrifying energy run through her veins. Her eyes turned red, and when she looked at the sky, she could see five creatures flying towards the Demon Clan's territory.

"What did you do to me?" She asked curiosity piqued.

"Nothing. I just forcefully opened one of your demon powers." Sura answered.

"Who are they?" Amaris asked.

"The Night Howlers."

"But I thought they live in Mirrikh."

"Yes. But they could still come to Terra anytime they wanted. Remember, they considered themselves the free creatures." Sura answered.

Sura looked at her and frowned.

"Are you scared of them?" He asked.

Amaris didn't say a word. She couldn't understand what she was feeling. Her heart was pounding, but it didn't feel like she was nervous. She was anticipating the Night Howlers' arrival.

"Not really. I-I don't know." She answered.

"Good. We have at least half an hour to prepare. Tell me, what do you see?" Sura asked again.

She didn't understand why he asked her that. Earlier, he asked her to leave, but now, it didn't seem that he wanted to. She turned to look at the sky to see what kind of creatures were approaching.

She frowned, trying to remember what Sura told her.

'I could see further beyond my imagination.' She thought inwardly.

"There were five of them; two of them were carried by two of the winged creatures. One looked like a woman with wings like yours and a tail. She also has two small horns. Two of them have the body of a bird with female faces."

Sura was listening to Amaris and quite impressed that she could easily see it clearly, considering it was her first time to use her eyes.

"The first one was Sharaya, a succubus. The two women were harpies, Lynea and Aela. How about the ones they were carrying?" Sura asked.

"A minotaur and the other looks like a Terran."

"That's new. They would never bring a Terran here. But enough of that. Let's go to the castle. Can you shapeshift?" Sura looked at him curiously.

She still couldn't understand what he wanted to do. She looked at him with confusion.

"Never mind. I'll explain later. For now, let's meet them and stay beside me." He said in a firm tone.

Amaris felt that Sura was trying to protect her from the Night Howlers. She nodded and followed him. Sura grabbed the girl's hand, pulling her inside the castle.

"What's her name?" Amaris asked.

"I'm Enid!" The girl answered, smiling at her.

Sura didn't react when Enid answered her. He was quiet until they reached the castle.

"Will you let me know about her? Please. I just want to know more about animas.  I'm desperate." She pleaded.

Sura was still silent. He was walking faster while the girl was almost running behind him.

Amaris was surprised when they entered the castle. It wasn't creepy like its outside appearance. It was warm and cozy. There were a lot of flowers arranged in big antique vases lined up in the hallway between life-size sculptures of mythical creatures. 

The whole area was lit with crystal sphere chandeliers hanging from the rafters of the stainless steel base. She couldn't believe that the castle, which looked so gloomy outside, was bright and lively inside.

"What do you mean when you ask if I can shapeshift?" Amaris asked Sura again.

"Your father was a shapeshifter. His bestia was a werewolf, but he could also transform into other creatures. One of his powers was to copy or imitate others." 

He noticed Sura hid his wings, and so she followed. Amaris was curious if other creatures lived in the Demon Clan's territory. She hasn't seen anyone ever since she arrived.

They arrived in front of a big door with some carvings on it. They were like ancient symbols and words that Amaris couldn't understand.

Her eyes widened when the door suddenly opened, showing them demons and monsters doing some lewd and obscene stuff.

Sura turned to her. With his blood-red eyes and long fangs, he smirked.

"Welcome to Pandaemonium."
