Chapter Five

Zane had almost reached the portal, and he still hadn’t seen a sign of whatever being was stupid enough to trespass on the king’s lands. Rotating his wrist, he spun his sword in front of him, bored.

That was the thing about living forever. Everything became boring after a while.

A couple of Level Three demons hissed at him from the shadows. The three foot tall creatures were bright red, with sharp spines down their backs, and rows of pointed teeth. They had the mental capacity of a dog, mostly acting on instinct rather than intelligence. Which made them more irritating than dangerous.

But they were better than Level One’s. They at least usually knew not to challenge demons more powerful than themselves.

The thing is, today I could use a fight. Anything to mix up this mind-numbing boredom.

“Bring it,” he muttered to them, and felt a wave of annoyance when they slunk away.

He could chase them. But what was the point? He’d kill them. They’d die. And then, he’d be right back to walking around without a purpose.

Sighing, he looked up at the sparks of light raining from the sky. When he’d first come to the demon-realm, after the initial terror and acceptance of his death, he’d found the fire sparks beautiful. Almost like fireworks dancing in the sky. Now, however, he was tired of them.

He missed Earth.

Freezing, he scolded himself for wanting what he should never have. He’d gone to the demon-realm because he deserved it. Earth would be forever beyond his grasp. The sunlight. The blue skies. The scents not laced with sulfur.

The women.

Basically, everything worth waking up for.

Walking once more, he continued to spin his blade in lazy circles. Lately he’d been particularly agitated. Restless. He’d finally decided to ask Jaxson about something he hadn’t brought up in nearly five years... climbing through the realms and escaping back to the Earth. Even though I don’t deserve it. Because I can’t keep doing this forever. His eternal-brother would get angry again. He’d tell him that this was their life now and to accept it.

But he wasn’t sure he could anymore. He just... was tired of being dead.

Of not having a real life.

But as much as he wanted to bring it up today, he wouldn’t. Not on the anniversary of Jaxson’s death. His brother was already looking for a fight, and as fun as it was to annoy him, he wouldn’t risk such an important topic that day.

He reached the portal at the same time as Ian.

His youngest brother looked concerned, his dark gaze vacant.

“No trespasser?”

Ian’s head shot up. “Uh, nope. You either?”

“Nope.”

They turned together and started the quickest path back to the River of Lust, the way that would lead them right to Jaxson.

Ian wasn’t holding his sword. Instead, his hands were stuffed in his white uniform pants.

“So, you didn’t call your weapon and you’re barely paying attention. Not exactly being the king’s top Defender are you?”

Ian gave a humorless laugh, sweeping his long blond hair back from his face. “I’m worried about Jaxson.
