SABRINA
My eyes squeezes tight, my ears twitching to the sounds of soft bangles clicking against the tiles of the floor.
I flew my eyes open at once, the bright rays from the sun hitting my face and creating multiple light pathways in my room.
I yawned lazily as I stay my upper body up, my eyes trying to make out what was standing in front of me.
It took quite some seconds before my vision adjusted to catch the stare of the beautiful lady walking towards me.
I stared at her, mesmerized by her form. She had features of a goddess and also a human. Slender and slightly tall, her jet black hair was let to fall over her shoulders with ounces of purple in them. Her shimmering copper skinned body had unusual markings on them. Her ears seemed strangely different though. It was slightly longer than a normal human’s own, resembling that of a goblins ear. About five piercings decorated each of her ears.
She looked so human looking in the form of her face.
Sprouting from her back where what seemed like Angel wings, crystal white and feathery. They weren’t as scary looking as Aklyn’s and Nelyx’s.
My eyes grazed down to her legs. She had multiple leg bangles on them. They created such a beautiful melody whenever she moved. Strange markings and symbols decorated her slender legs.
Clothed in a blue regalia, she bowed to me elegantly.
“Good morning my queen” her sweetly voice greeted me.
She really looked farmilair to me. I sat quiet at first trying to rack my brain on where I’ve seen her when I remembered that she was the sylph who Alton sent to me yesterday.
“Oh Goodmorning” I nervously greeted back. I was still very new to all these tittles and respect I was being given here.
“I trust you had a wonderful night rest my queen” she smiled at me.
God she was so beautiful.
Why couldn’t those demon brothers pick her instead of me. I stand no chance compared to this creature.
“I did” I smiled back, feeling a bit relaxed now.
She nodded and bowed. “Your bath is ready my queen. Why don’t you go in and freshen up. Breakfast shall be ready by the time you walk out”
“What is your name?” I asked ignoring her earlier statement.
I never did get the chance to ask that of her last night.
“I am Asa my queen”
“And you are a…” my voice trailed of as a knock on the door interrupted my discussion with Asa.
“Come in” I ordered to anyone who was outside.
Alton pushed open the door before placing his both hands behind his back.
“Asa you haven’t gotten the queen ready yet?” Alton sharply asked.
The sylph became timid and downcasted her head.
“Forgive me lord. She just graced the sunlight”
“Your duty is to always have her ready Asa. The kings would be here soon” Alton scolded the poor sylph.
Asa looked beetroot red.
“Don’t scold her Alton. I over slept and she already had my bath ready for me” I cut in, standing up for Asa.
The young sylph looked at me with so much happiness shimmering in her honey coloured eyes.
“I suggest you get ready soon because your kings would be here any minute” Alton suggested before leaving the room.
“I’m sorry for how Alton acted towards you” I apologised on his behalf.
She gasped at me. “No no it’s not in the place of the queen to apologise”
“Why?” I asked amused, standing up from the bed.
Asa came behind me and helped me undress, untying my robe from behind me.
“Because you are the queen” she replied as I had become fully undressed, entering the showers.
“I’m also a human just like…..” my voice trailed off as I was about to say ‘just like you’ but I knew Asa was not a human.
She just looked like one.
“I shall bring your breakfast my queen” Asa alerted me.
The warm waters hit my body, tranquilising my nerves.
Maybe I could get use to all these queen treatments…. I thought to myself before chuckling.
“Ok Asa” I nodded as I continued to freshen up.
As expected, I met a banquet of food waiting for me once I had stepped out of the showers.
Asa had laid down a beautiful off shoulder black gown accompanied with some footwears, ornamentations and undies.
By the time I was done dressing up, I stared at myself through the huge vertical mirror placed in my room. I really looked like someone from Ashrea.
I admired the ornamentations I wore when a knock on the door came through.
I knew who it was.
“Come in Asa”
The young sylph gracefully walked into my room with hair accessories.
“Shall I make your hair for you my queen?”she humbly asked.
I nodded with a smile and sat down on one of the many chairs in my chambers whilst she worked her magic on my hair.
“You look extremely beautiful my queen” she complimented me once she was done.
“And you Asa, you are a perfect stylist” I praised her talents.
She blushed and nodded. “Thank you”
“Come join me for breakfast” I told her going over to where my food was kept. A confused stare utterly paints her face.
“Me?”she asked confused, pointing at her self.
“Yes you” I reassured her.
“No I can’t my queen” she quickly declined.
“Are you refusing the queen’s order? Come join me” I insisted.
I watched her nervously give in to my request.
Taking a chair by my side, she began eating.
I scrutinised her. She seemed tensed.
“Be free with me” I softly told her.
I needed someone I could confide in here and she was the only female I had become, well, acquainted with so far.
“Mhmm” she mumbled a reply as she began eating normally.
In between our eating, I would occasionally ask Asa questions about her self and also pinch in details about my self and about earth too.
I learnt that Asa and her kind were spirit beings of the air. She told me she volunteered herself freely to come serve under the demon kings.
Why would any body do that?
Probably she was indebted to them or something similar. Nevertheless, breakfast went smooth and enjoyable.
“I shall call maids to come clear here my queen” she delightedly said once we were done eating.
I watched her depart and arrive much sooner with five females who looked just like her.
“My queen” they bowed to me before taking away the plates and utensils.
I retired to my bed and laid down it.
That was a really sumptuous breakfast.
Now what next?
My thoughts began drifting off to Sharon and Henry and this sudden fear gripped me so intensely.
I am here being attended to, having maids at my beck and call yet the love of my life and my bestfriend are at the mercy of some ancient demon that is trying to kill me.
What is this mess that I am in?
Suddenly my windows flew open by a heavy gust of wind.
I was terrified and I jolted up from my bed.
Unsure of what to do, I tried running towards the door but the strength of the wind was too much, it felt like my entire chamber had a tornado in it.
I screamed out in fear but instantly felt my soul slipping out from my body before I gave myself off to the darkness that seemed to shroud my vision.
