hapter 27 GRAND LORD VLADYA After two full days on the road , Grand Lord Vladya desired nothing more than to recline upon his comfortable bed and .
doze for the remainder of the day .
It was precisely why he detested venturing to the outskirts of Ural .
But the Elder had summoned him , giving him no choice but to answer .
Weary to his very core , he trudged along the path leading to his quarters .
The sight of Sinal standing by his door caused him to halt .
By Ukrac , how had she known he was back ? Mistress Sinai greeted him with a smile .
You have returned ? How did you come to know of my imminent arrival ? he asked cautiously .
I encountered your butler downstairs , my Lord , she replied , walking toward him .
How was your journey ? He took a deep breath .
Exhausting .
I need to rest .
I have heard about the boy .
Emerald , is that his name ? Emeriel , he corrected curtly .
Not that his name holds any significance to me .
What is this about ? A deep frown marred her otherwise lovely face as she approached him , stopping directly in front of him .
I have heard rumors that Daemons beast had taken a keen interest in him .
News of him has spread throughout the fortress .
Is it true ? Did the beast truly seek him out ? Lord Vladya pondered for a moment , opting for honesty .
Yes .
Le has it But how is that even possible ? she hissed , her eyes darkening .
I have visited the beast for centuries , and never once shown any signs of recognition , let alone fixation .
What in the world is happening ? Lord Vladya contemplated reminding her that even prior to going feral , Daemonikai had never fixated on her he had barely tolerated her .
However , it would be unfair .
Despite Sinais often insufferable nature , as the bloodhost to the grand king , she was one of the most powerful and respected females in Ural .
In this case , her concerns were valid .
I have no idea what is going on , Sinai , Perhaps it may be the boys smell .
Maybe he emits a scent that entices the beast .
A scent that makes him seek it out .
Our primal instincts can be unpredictable at times , as you well know .
I do .
Of course , I do .
But this ? It is simply too strange .
I do not like the sound of it .
Not one bit ! Why ? Lord Vladya relinquished his grip on the door handle and turned to face her , his brows knitted and nearly reaching his hairline .
You , above all others , should be clated if, by some miraculous occurrence , his beast has fixated .
It could signify something positive .
Perhaps his mind is not entirely lost ? Or maybe his sanity is resurfacing .
He might become the first Urekai to emerge from madness .
Sinais mouth opened , closed , then opened again .
You , of all people , know it does not work that way .
There is no return , Once the mind is gone , it is lost forever , and in its stead remains a mere husk .
A shell .
A ghost of who he once was .
I did add miraculously , did I not ? Grand Lord Vladya exhaled All the more reason for you to know that it is implausible for the beast to desire the boy as an individual .
It was likely a one time incident .
He massaged his throbbing temples .
Leave me be , Sinai .
I have just returned from a long journey , and I am dire need of rest .

Unrepeatable .
The lines of anger faded from her face , and the formed a slippery smile .
I shall leave you to rest now .
Leaning in , she planted a kiss upon his cheek , bowed , and gracefully walked away , her smile widening as her gown elegantly swept behind her .
Are you certain Vaz asked gently , his eyes brimming with barely concealed concern .
I am certain .
Lord Vladya replied , and Yaz nodded .
He exited through the sturdy metal gates ; securing the locks behind him , leaving Lord Vladya alone in the forbidden chambers with the beast .
He sought solace in this place on days when exhaustion overwhelmed him .
When he felt far too drained .
Today was one of those days .
Daemonikais beast emerged from its favored spot , prowling closer to him .
Vladya remained motionless as the beast circled him , growling and hissing .
Suppressing his own beast , he bowed his head and tilted it to the side ..
At his willing submission , the ferals growling ceased .
It dug its claws into Vladyas side , drawing blood and waiting for retaliation Yet , Vladya remained still , even as the beast pressed its claws deeper , pain coursing through his body .
Finally , the feral withdrew , turned around , and retreated behind the floor to ceiling barricade .
Only then did Vladya allow Iris own beast to rise to the surface , enveloping him like a second skin .
In the blink of an eye , his clothes tore apart , revealing a magnificent beast .
Nearly identical to the beast behind the barricade , it stood tall , flexing its tail ..
Taking position before the barricade , it settled down , mirroring the ferals posture .
Like every Urekai , Vladya found solace and ease in his beast form .
In the past , when he assumed this form , he and Daemonikal would venture into the woods , running , hunting , and battling together .
But now , the beast behind those bars stared at him without any trace of recognition .
His chest tightened , making it difficult to breathe ..
Vladya lost track of time as he kept his best friend company .
This place inflicted immense pain upon him , yet it also provided some measure of peace .
It scarred him , yet offered healing .
It was his doom and his sanctuary .
Time dissolved into nothing .
He could have spent minutes , or hours here simply existing in beast form .
Shutting the world out When he finally reverted to his human form , he felt better than he had in days .
Even as his heart ached .

Vladya gazed at Daemonikai , tears welling in his eyes , but he refused to let them fall .
He would not shed tears .
He has not done so for centuries .
How do you fare , my friend ? he spoke , his gaze fixed on empty space .
Sometimes , I envy you .
There is no pain for you .
No memories .
No recollections .
Just blissful nothingness .
No dreams to haunt you .
Keep you awake at night , tearing your heart out of your chest He sighed .
Just simple , blissful silence , even if it manifests as madness .
Vladya recounted everything that had transpired since his last visit to the feral , speaking into the void , aware that the wild one could neither hear nor comprehend , yet it was a ritual he performed nonetheless .

Our land is no longer what once was .
That night scarred us all irreparably .
Without you here to anchor the people , they have all become lost .
Vladys eyes were tired , gazing through the bars .
And the truth is , I do not know how to help them .
He palmed his throbbing head .
Centuries have passed , and I have yet to find myself again .
I do not believe I ever will , nor do I wish to .
That is how lost we all are , Daemonikai .
