In A Demon's Lifetime by Leydy Renteria (best english books to read for beginners txt) 📕

approached me. "Um . . . I'm sorry for acting so vainly and stupidly these few minutes or hours (I'm not sure how much time passed) . . . I dont know why I acted that way. I'm usually not like that . . . " he said. "Its Ok" I said. "I can help you look for the stone you're searching for." he volunteered. "Um . . . sure! I can use all the help I can get!" I could have my men send some cavalry if you want." "Ok thanks" I said. I turned to Haydrion and said "Good luck with your "I will be the evil ruler of the underworld" plan. I have to go and find myself that stone." He nodded and waved. Caycay, Jarithan and I walked to where he had left the horses. Apparently he and his 2 fellow companions had been attacked by a rogue dragon. We rode onwards towards his kingdom. Later I heard a dragon's roar, it was haydrion, he looked different, as if he was someone else, but i knew it was him. "well, it turns out that destroying saten upsets the gods and the too away my god like powers AND my control over the hells, and to make matters worse, i gots no place to go!! my home was destroyed, my friends back home probably dead. FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU--" He got hit by Jarithan. "Ok, thanks.... I lost what sanity I had left, damn.... *sniff sniff* why do I smell haydn?" Haydrion said,"Anyway maybe I can help ya out. The stone most likely has power, and I can sense demonic power, so that helps a bit...." he sighed. We traveled in silence. I felt bad for Haydrion. We arrived at Jarithan's kingdom after 2 days. Huglaham or whatever it's called. "So this is where you come from?" Haydrion asked. It was a very fancy place. We got to the castle and were treated like royals. Except for Haydrion, who was shunned. Jarithan , though, wasn't pleased with how the servants were treating his friend so he ordered them to treat him fairly or else he'd tell Haydrion to slit their throats. Haydrion was pleased at this deal. Once everyone had been pampered they headed to the dining room. "I've never been in a castle without being chased by guards, looting the castle, or not having to save the place from undead that used to be mine or dragons." Haydrion said. I laughed and said "Well enjoy it while ya can because it's not gonna last long." "Yea... I guess the good parts in my life last as long as ice on the suns surface" He sighed. Damn. I didn't want to make him feel bad . . . After some awkward silence we started chatting again. Mostly about stupid, silly stuff. Haydrion cringed all of a sudden. "Whats wrong?" I asked him. "A hoard of undead led by a demon are coming here, FAST!" he said weakly. Everyone got up emedietly. Jarithan called one of the servants over. "Alert the guards¨¨ He said. "Yes sir!" the battle started soon after and it seemed that Haydrion was having a ball. I wasn't too exited. I just wanted some peace for once. (Plus, I wanted the Demon Stone.) I stood against two undead. Easy as pie. Hehehe. I soon spotted the demon that brought all of those undead here. "So ... how's it been buddy?" I asked him. He turned to look at me and I almost went white with shock. "Y-you?" I stammered, just then Haydrion crashed into him by accident. "Sorry!" he said. When he saw who it was ,though ,he said " Oh, you son of a bitch, you're dead!!" "NO!!!!!" I yelled. I got in front of the demon and blocked Haydrion's path. "Awww, why nooooot?" he said. "Because I have some matters to settle with this one first. Plus, I want to have the honor of killing him. I want to see his blood on my sword." " can i butcher his body when ur done?" he asked. I thought for a while " . . . sure." "Will you guys stop talking about me as if I weren't here?!" yelled/asked Ka'zar. "Shush. Now, kill him! I want to 'play' too!" haydrion said evilly. I laughed and said "So Ka'zar, thought you could get away with killing my beloved?" Ka'zar said "Yes". I then swiped at him with my sword, witch he dodged, then he summoned some slimes and haydrion took care of them. He uses them as a defence? Weak. I used fire blast witch hit him so hard it KOed him. "Hell's chains!" yelled Haydrion, while tying Ka'zar down. "Well, go ahead and kill him!" haydrion said. I stepped forward and raised my sword . . . but I hesitated. "Well?" I shook my head and lowered my sword."I can't do it . . . I'm not a cold blooded killer like him." I tossed the sword to the ground and walked away. Just looking at Ka'zar reminded me of my love.
"Can I kill him then?" asked Haydrion. I nodded without looking back. I looked around and saw that the battle was over. "Wait!" yelled Ka'zar. "If you dont kill me I will tell you some useful information!" "tell me, and if its no use to me, your done for, unless you have an item that interests me" haydrion said. I turned back to see what Ka'zar would have to offer. "I have no item . . . at least not with me. I'm working with someone named Demos. he has half a demon stone." said Ka'zar. "go on" haydrion said. "I also have the princess Catherine captured. If you do not let me go Demos will kill her." haydrion dropped on the ground and then held his swords up to Ka'zar's neck."WHERE?!?!!? WHERE IS SHE RIGHT NOW!?!?" he yelled. Ka'zar laughed evilly because he knew he had Haydrion in his hands. I went up to Haydrion and said "Dont do anything without thinking it through first. Ok?" Haydrion nodded. "Ok, Ka'zar, where is the princess catherine. You take us to her and we'll let you go." Ka'zar did just that. he lead us to devilren territory. " what are devilren?" i asked.
"they re hybrides, part animotrotic, half demon. they are under the rule of the shadow king. this is where they are un removable, for the are MADE here. they are one of the most threat that ,erm, threatens the worlds. there are many kinds f them. examples are sword, sword and shield, shield, shield and spear, gunner, driller, ect." haydrion explained.I nodded in fake comprehension. I wasn't listening at all to what he had been saying. I was to busy trying to come up with a plan . . . "One thing you NEED to know, is that they are weak to water, ice and shadow. We are nearing the demon stone, I can sense it." Haydrion added. Now that I DID understand. " OH NO!" haydrion yelled, then he tackled me. A devilren bazzoker shot a rocket at me but missed and hit Ka'zar. He was probably dead. I looked over at Jarithan, he looked pretty exited. He had changed. In a good way. Many demons and undead came rushing at us. We launched into battle. "these are undead? they are hated by devilren! they must have been attacking here when we came! demons are here! that means they have escaped! devilren are coming! sword and shield devilren!" shouted haydrion using his duel sameri dragon swords to kill off undead and the others. How I hate battles. I sheathed my sword and started slashing at the undead. hours passed and we were still inn battle. no demons or undead now, just the devilren. Haydrion was helping out Jarithan. it was good to see that, but then haydrion took a shot for him, in the heart! haydrion fell down. I slashed off the devilren that i was fighting and rushed over to Haydrion. "Haydrion! Haydrion you gotta tell me what to do to help you. " I said. Jarithan was busy fighting back the devilren that were trying to attack me and Haydrion. "ugh..... BEHINDE YOU!" he yelled ad sot a devilren that could have killed me. "get Jarithan over here!" he said. I quickly called Jarithan over and told him to go to Haydrion. I took his place holding back the devilren. " dont look at me badly for this, friend, but i doubt you will miss the part of ur soul im about to take...." I heard Haydrion say. I couldn't look back to see what was happing for the devilren started to try and sneak past me. I did what I could but there were too many of them. "time to do this, SOL SNATCH!" haydrion said. he then changed into a huge dragon the size of Jarithan's castle! the devilren started yo run away but he was killing millions of them at a time! he grabbed me and Jarithan and put us on his back as he stormed to the devilren's castle. I had no idea how he changed or got better. We got to the entrance and he put us down. Jarithan and I went in. " ill keep watch, all the devilren are out here, ill hold them off, OH SHIT! THEY ARE GETTING OUT THE DEVILREN DEVVISTATORS! HURRY!" haydrion said. Jarithan and I burst into the castle. "Now where would I hide a princess . . ." I said out loud. "How about in the dungeon. . . and if not there then in a fancy room." I nodded and said "Ok, you check for princesses in fancy rooms and I'll check for scared princesses in scary dungeons." He nodded quickly and raced off. I found a dungeon soon after. I made my way inside. No princess. I check about a dozen of them but there was no sign of Catherine. Maybe Jarithan had more luck than I did, I thought. I raced back to where we had left and he was already there. "No Catherine." he reported. "EXSPLOTION!!!!!" as we heard that, half of the castle blew up! and THEN we saw a room full of princesses, even one from Jarithan's kingdom, witch was his sister... "Deziry!" Jarithan cried. He rushed towards a girl with curly red hair and brown eyes that were wide open with shock. I saw Catherine in the midst of a whole bunch of preppy princesses. "Catherine!" I cried. She heard me and turned to see who called her name. When she saw me she rushed towards me. I heard a sob escape her lips. I hugged her and told her it was going to be OK. "I know it's just that they did a whole bunch of awful things to us!" she said. She looked really afraid. "Who did? And what?" She took a deep breath to calm herself and explained "A creature named Haydn... he did Things to us that i dont want to say!" she sobbed. Haydrion crashed in with a huge robot on his face, witch he soon tore in half. Haydrion looked at me and Catherine. "Are you all ok?" he asked. Catherine gasped and hid behind Jarithan. I laughed, turned to Catherine and said "Oh, dont worry about him, it's just Haydrion in his true form." I leaned down to whisper in Catherine's ear. "Kinda ugly in his true form, huh?" She laughed and came out from behind Jarithan. Haydrion went back to his elf form an landed in he middle of the room. Catherine approached Haydrion. He stood up and dusted himself. Catherine gave him a big hug. "Thanks for helping me." she said to Haydrion and the rest of us. "N-no prob.." Haydrion said blushing. I held back my laughter. "Okaaay....so...what do we do about all these other princesses?" I
