Chapter 9

Strayed From the Path

In the world of Eden both humans and monsters commonly made mistakes, some being easy to avoid while others proved to be harder to spot or have no other option to take instead. What was once thought to be the proper path to take could turn out to be a horrible choice with dire consequences. Those that strayed from the right path could still have a chance to correct the error of their ways and come back, especially if they had another to help guide them. As many would attest, the road to redemption was often a long, difficult path for any to take.

Sometimes those that strayed weren’t strong enough to come back on their own.

The whirling pillars of water that spiraled near Nuci’s sides echoed within the underwater grotto as the alurane became noticeably tense in the face of her opponent, her magically infused torrents of water being heard amidst a brief silence as she and Daemon remained poised for battle. His arching wings, monstrous appearance, enchanted weapon that glowed softly at his side, and cold blue eyes that remained locked on the flowery lady; all paled in comparison to his inhuman aura that drew a nervous sweat out on the back of the alurane’s neck.

“This wasn’t supposed to happen just yet,” Nuci quietly said to herself. “My queen? What’s going on? What does this mean?”

Nuci quickly raised her hands up to follow him, her translucent magical barrier shining brighter now with an increase of magical energy added to it, while the corrupted guardian focused her power to siphon up water from the rolling waves below into her palms where they glowed with a dark cerulean bloom.

“For my queen!” Nuci screamed, throwing her arms aside and erecting multiple circular spellbases before her, the bright aqua and lime colored rings sparking wildly before the alurane threw the water from her hands through them, casting out a ballistic barrage of brightly burning spears of watery light. Evading the streaking lances in a blur Daemon raced down towards his foe, striking his sword through her casting rings that shattered with sharp flashes and hitting her shield, the impact knocking Nuci down slightly while the waves below exploded from the force. With a fierce shriek Nuci launched her roots up past her towards the cambion, passing through her barrier and failing to strike Daemon as he jumped off the woman’s shield into the air.

“You forget your place, guardian,” Daemon said, slashing his sword and casting out a blindingly hot arc of energy that seared through the roots and slammed down on the alurane’s shield. Following through he dropped down with a somersault, striking the blade downward and piercing the barrier that cracked with bright fissures of light. Nuci stared with wide eyes at
