The Princess And The Demon

"I will be there in no time, you just wait safely " Henry said while standing up and dusting himself up, returning the gentle smile of the demon, it somehow made him chuckle, the smile didn't fit the demon in any kind of way, it was gentle and feminine and shy, while the demon's wolf face was furry and full of scars and sharp canines, but dtill, he felt the warmth of the smile coming from the soul talking to him, she might be called an ice queen but to him, she was like a dancing flame, capable of warming anything she comes close to...

Gaining back his focus, Henry kept on giving his crew new orders every few minutes, it helped him stay in the present and not wonder away and so it did to the rest of them, it all made sense now, Henry thought, this is why the fog is particularly dangerous, it feeds on truths to weave illusions and mirages, building a prison of thoughts, and locking the person inside his own head, in an andless labyrinth of his own making, of his fears and rages and anxieties.

Walking across the ship rapidly, he noticed a young soldier, his bright red eyes indicated he was a demon, still a very young one, his gaze was lost meaning he was possibly hallucinating now, the fog effected humans far worst than it effected the demons since it was originally created for them but that did not mean it didn't effect demons either, it was very strong, after all, a one's thoughts and believes are the worst prison, no better example than humans who have been worshiping the same creatures taking most of their lives, while fighting those who fought for their freedom, the demons might have hunted and killed millions of humans over the years for their blood and sould but it was the humans who forced them into this sorry state in the first place, when they choose to fight the war of those who named themselves Gods...

Going to where the boy was, he stood in front of him, ready to shake him off when he noticed the very distant gaze of the boy, so distant it felt dead, the only sign of it belonging to living eyes, where the tears that fell like rain from them...

Henry was taking back for a second, he had seen men cry before, but never witnessed the tears of a demon, the rim of his eyes was red and the salty tears have made their path noticeable, he was sobbing violently, He must be seeing something very painful, from gis past or future, whatever it is he needed to be pulled back quickly...

Henry shook the boy's shoulders, half screaming at him to wake up, it did work since the boy gasped for air all of a. sudden, his eyes focusing back on the human king's face who had an encouraging expression plastered on his face...

"You killed them" The boy muttered, was he still under the fog's effect..

"You are going to kill her too" the boy spoke, his voice a bit above a whisper, before Henry could even understand what was happening, the boy's expression turned from a shaken terrified one to one full of pure rage and blood thirst, and it was all directed to him.
