BLUE HOUR: The Primes

ˢᵃᶠᵉ 🔞

Coleen watched as both the demon and the angel slowly disappears into the forest. It's already dusk. But the sun is nearly up.

The sooner that everyone had got into the forest. Coleen quickly created a spell and surrounded it in the cottage. She made a protective shield that no black creatures can set foot other than the one who's already inside.
It was a big spell that Coleen wasn't fully prepared for. So the sooner she completed the spell, she passed out drained of energy.

But before she totally blacked out. She could smell a very sweet and salivating scent. One that she didn't even think of craving so bad. So strong that it imprinted her mind for maybe an eternity.

Coleen flickered her eyes open at the aggressive shuffling beside her. Soon. Her eyes fluttered open only to be greeted with a blurry vision.

"She's awake!" It was Kitsch voice that nearly destroyed her eardrums. He only just spoke, but his voice us too loud.

Coleen continued to flutter her eyes until her vision is finally clear.
She saw Trevor sitting right beside the bed where she's laying. A wide smile plays on his lips. Kitsch is sitting beside him too and the two of them presses their chins on the bed while smiling at her.

"Hi!" The two greeted her in unison before suddenly bursting into giggles and eventually whispering something to each other.

Coleen hastily sat up and suddenly grabbed Trevor by his collar. Her eyes scanned him while Trevor could only stare at her with amusement.

"I'm okay now. Don't worry." Trevod said to her and gently pulled her hand off his collar.

"We're already at Kitsch and Ysabella's hometown. But you might get surprised." Trevor said and the two boys continued giggling.

"What do you mean? Did we leave my place already?" Coleen asked and sat properly. Kitsch and Trevor sat beside her.

"You passed out. We didn't wanna wake you." Kitsch said and started playing on the hem of his shirt's sleeves.

"Where are we?" She asked and looked at Trevor.

"Well. Supposedly, it's the home of dragons since Kitsch and Ysabella were born here thousands of years ago. But time passes and civilization improves." Trevor trailed and looked warily at the boy. Checking if it still affects him.

"Samuel said there used to be a huge nest on giant trees here. But after many years the trees died and the land withered away because our race were suppose to be extinct. Our home is now buried hundred feet beneath the ground." Kitsch said and smiled at the two.

When he and Ysabella first heard it a few moments of their arrival. The two were devastated. But they knew better that this should've been one of their expectations.

When they came. They were greeted by a loud marketplace. There were so many people everywhere. The whole nest was turned into a public area.

Everywhere you look are filled with locals. Many street vendors and many shops. Everything you can see in local marketplaces are all there and it was boosting with mortals.
