Volca was left with no choice. No options. But one. Just one. And that was to follow the paths of the fake Phoenix. His words did sound like facts, where sheet herself be fooled by Huo in the na of love, again and again.
She did feel ashad of it. But love kept her going. She did every shit all for the sake of her, that one day he would be hers. But except that, everything else happened. She scread her lungs out standing inside that cave. "Damn my life," she scread. "Fuck everyone, am going to kill each of you," she made noise until her throat hurt. Emperor Tai heard this from the dis8and smiled.
"Yes co to my way now, dear useless daughter," he said and flew away.
Volca sat there cross legged, crying out loud. The confusions killed her real bad. "Huo," she shouted. "Why?" She kept questioning. "Why just why? Why can't you for once have affection for ?" She felt terrible. "You played well and good. Now let show you what it feels like to be played," she said with determination. She stood her legs and converted herself into her real from. The eagle spread its wings and flew away. Flew too far away from heaven, towards hell. Back to her so called ho. She was hopeless.

Emperor Tai was happy and excited about all the wickedness he haa done to his daughter. "Fiona you hid her from , but I have her in my fingers now, I will show you the puppetry am going to stage soon," he said out loud and smiled, sitting in the lotus pavilion behind his bed chamber. A dreadful as he is, he had nothing to fear about anymore except one thing. He still could not tell where things went wrong in the execution platform while killing the water royals having no idea that they had consud the atropa belladonna pills which will put them to deep sleep but not die.
He punched the table and drank his wine. He was suddenly craving for grilled chicken and he summoned the kitchen maids to prepare him the food. And he waited for Volca all along. She did not appear before him though. But he was sure about the decision. For all the fuel he had added in the fire inside her heart. He understood why Fiona always had control since her daughter was always living under her shades, easy to manipulate. Fiona instead of teaching her daughter to be strong, she taught her daughter to be a slave to a strong person. Tai called him strong.

Huo and Aqua had fun for all the night since she shut down the shop. But she had no idea that she had been followed secretly. Nethier did Huo, letting his guard totally down, confident that nobody would dare co and hurt them.
They were happy in their own little world. Laying in each others arms, under the bed sheets, watching the sky together outside the window close to their bed in the inn, life looked perfect for a mont. But then it ca; the problem. What exactly was it? Let's see.
Her sister ca for her, pleading for help. She did not look good, and she was not wearing her crown nor tiara. Aqua analysed and observed her well and good. 'Why would she co at this hour? What happened to her? What happened at ho? Why do they need my help?' She wondered sitting on the bed itself. Questions kept rising in her head. She got worried. She looked at Huo, who put on his robe and tied them up.
"What's the issue?" He asked her.
"Help ," she begged again. Milan was in tears and had wounds over her hands and neck.
"Who attacked you?" Aqua asked.
"Heavenly troops,"
"Why would they?" Aqua asked again.
"They want to take over Water Realm," she answered to the questions on point.
"We marked it ours again, why would the want it?" Aqua questioned her.
"I don't know but we are in desperate need of help, father is injured," she said. Aqua smirked.
"Father is injured," she repeated the words. "What a wonderful joke!"
"Am not joking," Milan cried.
"What a cry baby the princess is!"
"Stop it Aqua, and co with ," her tone changed. "Help , help us, we have to defeat them,"She went on.
"Who?" Aqua got serious and stood up from the bed.
"Tai," Milan said the na.
"What did he do?" Aqua enquired.
"He is no longer an angel, his heart has changed, he accepted the demonic way and is sitting in the heavenly throne," Aqua grew furious. She then realized. "Why should I help after I got kicked out?'
"You misunderstood our intentions Aqua," Milan walked towards her in a studied gait.
"Co on, let's kill Volca and Tai, Volca is growing into great power," Milan went on. Aqua noticed that her sister is using a wooden hair clip. She looked closely and saw a wooden. "Don't you think they all wronged you? Don't you want to kill them?" Aqua chuckled.
"Killing then will not be enough for You know that," Aqua said looking in to her eyes. "I want to rip his head off his body, and also hers, slash her throat and watch while she begs for her life,' Aqua said. She said and withdrew Huo'er's soul sword from the near by table and stabbed right in her abdon. Blood oozed out from the woukd and her nose and mouth.
"Aqua," Huo shouted.
"Sis," Milan said and looked at Aqua in disbelief. "Damn it," she said and drew her sword out. She put with the fight. But she was too bad defending and in attacking. Huo stood there enjoying the show, watching his love fighting as slowly as she could with an amateur shape shifter.
"Aqua, before she makes another move with all thoughts, let put on the clothes for you," he joked. Aqua was fighting with the souls sword, with another hand gripped tight in the bed sheet wrapped around her. Huo walked towards her, put his arms around her and lifted her and Aqua kicked right on the head of the shape shifter and she fell on her back. She wore out from the get up of Milan. A demon it was, with two horns on his head. His skin was ice cold. He also had canines. And dark circles under the eyes. "Half vampire he is," Demon King said to Aqua. He managed stand back on his feet and sothing was shot inside and shape shifter dropped dead. Aqua and Huo imdiately turned around to look at who it was who shot the arrow inside. Aqua ran towards the window. But there was no one suspicious there. Huo sat next to the shapeshifter. "Hey, hey, who sent you here?" He asked him. But the shapeshifter took his final breath and died. Huo shook his head and closed his eyes for him. He took a look at things he was carrying around. He found a pouch of gold coins unpacked. He opened them and looked inside. A mixture of Demon silver couns and heavenly gold coins, he could not identify who it could be easily. Aqua shut the windows and put on her clothes, letting go of the bed sheet. She put on her gown and tied up her hair. She helped Huo clean the ss and Huo called for his guards. He ordered them to take care of the body and conduct a search secretly around the Realm. General Hawk arrived by then. "What happened?" He sounded worried.
"Nothing, just an intruder, a thief maybe," Demon King said.
"Why would an intruder try to hurt the two of you?"
"He is trying to calm you down, General Hawk, the intruder ca in the disguise of my sister, trying to take sowhere," she said. "This is serious Huo'er, soone is behind this, soone who knows very well, knows my weakness,"
"I know that," King Huo replied back. Huo took her hands, nodded at Hawk and he apparated. Back to the Demon's castle. He took her to fis chamber. "Stay here, until I get back, give an hour," he said. She nodded. "Don't get inti any trouble, don't et anyone you don't know, don't walk around the castle. You may use the kitchen and this room only for now," he made it very clear. And he left the room. Aqua smiled and watched him disappear.
Huo reached a cliff, in the dessert, he had the dagger he took from the shapeshifter. The sa dagger that was used by Fiona. He looked around. "Co out," he said out loud. "Don't hide if you can't face well, then why fight with ?"
"I did not fight you," she said and appeared before him.
"Oh, so you were fighting her?" He asked.
"No doubt in that, she is the only one I would fight, for all the eternity,"
Huo chuckled. "But you will never win her,"
Volca walked closer. "Last ti I killed her, and you died too, et's see how it works this ti," she challenged him, looking right into his eyes, that was full of mockery while looking at her. "But one thing for sure, I won't let any one lay their finger on you,"
"Volca, there is one thing you have no idea about,"
"What?" She asked him with a smirk on her face. He took a step closer.
