People like Alder who were aiming to become the powerful on the whole of earth, Fina was their best resort.

The clans of magic and mystical had not known of how precious the blood of a Phoenix was until Alder had lost his hands on Fina and had been searching her for years.

~*~*~*~

While the three guardians of Fina were concerned of her well being, Alder was striding through the dark lanes of secret dungeons in the Crow kingdom.

He was much pleased by the manner he had willed the crow Queen to let him see the Phoenix girl before he promise her what she asked for. Alder just wished to see the most precious being with his eyes.

He wished to see if the ugly Queen was playing him or does she in truth have the girl with her.

He would just have to see the girl and if she was indeed the girl he was looking for, then all his troubles would be solved. He had no need for any other no matter how powerful they are.

The fire lit as he went further into the dark dirty lanes, showing him the way. He was informed by the Queen that the girl was locked up in the last of the cells which was used to confine the powerful of their foes.

The chamber was used to trap the powerful ones as the mazes around the chamber does not allow them to perform any kind of magic.

It was impressive of the ugly Queen to lock the girl up in one of those chamber knowing she was not aware of what he might hold.

He stopped by the last chamber with a small screech as he felt the exhilaration again after years. With a much commanding pose, he walked through the iron doors of the chamber.

Initially, he could not focus on anything with the darkness clouding the chamber but with the snap of his fingers, the fire lit on the logs and the light spread through the tiny chamber showing him the figure of a puny looking woman curled up by the corner.

He strode towards the figure and stopped right a step away from her as he observed the young woman. On a closer look, he noticed the dirt and soot marred on her bright skin and her clothes were torn slightly.

She was sleeping in the corner by the wall as her body shivered in cold. With just one glance at her, she could see the Throne woman in her quite clearly.

Her features were close to the woman that he had slaughtered much very ruthlessly. Oh he could still remember the day he had tormented and killed Lady Throne with cruelty that he dearly enjoyed.

It was a sight to behold though. He loved it.

Now there was her daughter in front of him who shall be much more valuable to him than her. By one glance, he knew the young maiden was the Phoenix girl that he lost years ago.

The Crow Queen wasn't lying. She had indeed captured his precious tool.

With a bellow of a laugh, Alder gazed at the young Phoenix one final time as he turned back to leave.

He had the Phoenix, he had his allies, he had his army; all he needed was Orla who could perform the ritual to get all his powers back.

With a wrinkled smile, Alder felt the excitement coursing through his body as the things were coming together like he desired.

Finally hell was looking upon him to grant him the fruit of his dedication, sin and wait from all the decades.

He could lastly see himself ascending the throne as the sole Emperor of the earth. There would be the whole human race at his feet.

There would be no magic as best as his.

There would be no clan superior to him.

There shall be no person who could challenge him.

He shall rule every clan and race with an iron fist showing them the true face of Satan.

He shall be the Lord of Deities one day as well.

He shall not just rule the earth but one day he shall also rule the heavens and the hell.

He shall be the only God they plead to and only Satan they would be terrified of.

His fruit was finally ripening to sweetness. The effort he put in to achieve his motive was at last coming to an ideal portrait.

All the sins he had committed seemed to be nonentity compared to what he was receiving in return.

Goodness, now that he had the Phoenix girl, he was not in need of Lucius anymore. He was pleased to know that he could get Lucius out of his way through his cursed wife and he would not have blood on his hands.

Everything was just playing like always desired.

Orla... you have to come back to assist me ascend the throne and rule by my side.

Hello Sweeties,

Next chapter is here. Enjoy!

Fina got captured on her own will or she was captured forcibly?

It is now time for the trio to play their cards of pretense and innocence before Alder to bring him to ruins.

How did Fina come to existence when the whole of Thorne family was killed?

Alder should die in pain. You agree?

The Orla he was putting his belief on was not on same boat as him. Will he realize it before he was ruined?

Please shower me with votes and comments.
