The vision of death and destruction. It visited Sapphire´s dreams, leaving him
exhausted, drenched in sweat, heart constricted with horror. Diamond´s death...
His brother´s death at the hands of the dark creature that invaded their lives.
The Wiseman. The demon. The master of darkness.

try to talk to Diamond. To tell him about the visions he started to have the
moment the Wiseman appeared among them. But he didn´t believe it. He even told
Sapphire that he was jealous of the Wiseman, that he was jealous of the time
Diamond spent with his new advisor instead of him. He wouldn´t listen to him.
But Sapphire knew... He knew that should they go to Earth, everything they
worked so hard for would be destroyed. No peaceful living among the
Earthians... Only death and destruction... And the Wiseman the winner no matter
how it would end.

that Diamond would live woe would do anything... anything at all... anything...
And the Wiseman accepted his offer...
the cold he felt didn´t come from the outside. No, it was the coldness of his
heart. He would have never... he would have never suspected this... He tried to
take a deep breath but his lungs refused to cooperate. He could feel the panic
attack approach...
he was telling himself over and over again. Could you live with the knowledge
that you could have prevented his death, that you could have changed the
inevitable future, but you didn´t? He closed his eyes and immediately the scene
of Diamond´s death flashed through his mind... bathed in blood... on a cold
floor... And he felt his heart break once again. He never told his brother
about his feelings. He kept them hidden, deep deep inside his heart... And now
it was too late to reveal them... Because after tonight... everything would
change...
darkness when he opened his eyes. Even the blue light crystal embedded in the
walls ceased to shine. He turned around, his wild look trying to break through
the wall of darkness... and then he froze. There - two shining points in the
dark... the Wiseman´s eyes... like a beast watching his prey struggle in the
last throes of agony...

the darkness, there was a mocking edge to it.

"Yes, if you intend to keep yours." He hated to hear his voice
shudder and break at the end.
"Don´t worry about that, little Prince..."
themselves in the low light the violet flashes crisscrossing the sky offered.
Sapphire´s heart was beating wildly and the tension in the room threatened to
suffocate him.
Wiseman asked and Sapphire knew there was no escape anymore. Taking another
shuddering breath he reached for the belt of his robe and untied it slowly.
Lifting his hands he pushed the robe down his shoulders and let it fall to the
ground at his feet. The storm outside became even more violent bathing his
naked body in purple light.

didn´t even think about disobeying the order. Slowly he walked to the bed
feeling the heated eyes in the darkness roam over his unprotected body. He
climbed up and lay down on his back in the middle. He locked his eyes on the

vulnerable.

disobey. He lifted his legs and bent them in knees planting his feet firmly on

and vanished in his dark blue hair.

the demon hovering over him, but the hand touching his thigh still surprised
him enough to open his eyes. The glowing eyes were over him, just a couple of
inches. He could feel the raspy breath of the dark creature. The hand moving up
his inner thigh was scalding hot and ice cold at the same time, leaving behind
the feeling of thousands of sharp needles buried under his skin.

No. He wouldn´t. He couldn´t.

deeply into Sapphire´s creamy thigh to make his point.
and reluctantly opened his eyes. The two glowing coals moved closer and closer,
the look in them almost hypnotizing. But the spell was broken the moment the
unseen dry lips touched his. The scalding hot tongue pressed his lips apart and
pushed in his mouth. Sapphire whimpered in protest. The taste of rotting flesh
made him almost gag. It seemed like a small eternity before the kiss ended
leaving Sapphire light headed and panting.

moment. He had known it would be bad, but this...

creature´s other hand on his hip now, moving down, pressing his legs up to his
chest and further apart, making room for the black shadow looming over him. He
whimpered as he felt his skin burn at each place the Wiseman touched. It hurt.
It hurt to be touched by him. He couldn´t even imagine how it would feel
when...
Wiseman´s shaft tore through him. He could feel himself being impaled, split in
two as the demon moved all the way in. He screamed until his throat felt raw
and burning. It hurt so much. He never imagined that something could hurt so
much. He cried openly, hot tears running down his cheeks. He gripped the covers
under him tightly in his fists and he heard it tear, just like the tender skin
inside of him.

screaming as the black demon ravaged his trembling body.

of warmth every time he looked at him... Used to...

\"Times New Roman\";color:aqua;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB\'>Suddenly he was torn out
of his deep thoughts as the demon thrust into him savagely one last time,
releasing himself deep in Sapphire´s body. Sapphire cried out, the knuckles on
his tightly closed fists white. It hurt so much... it burnt as if someone
poured acid into him. Then the Wiseman´s body over him lost its physical form
once again, turning into a black, dark shadow that descended upon him,
blanketing every part of his body, choking him, seeping into him, into his
soul... tainting him with its darkness... breaking the last innocence that he
had left - the innocence of his soul...

\"Times New Roman\";color:aqua;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB\'>He was still lying on his
bed when he woke up, his legs thrown apart carelessly. He felt weak and dizzy.
So tired. He opened his eyes to find his room still submerged in darkness.
There, by the door... two glowing points... The Wiseman´s eyes...
\"Times New Roman\";color:aqua;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB\'>
\"Times New Roman\";color:aqua;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB\'>Sapphire´s breath caught
in his throat and he felt the need to cover himself up. Tiredly he reached to
pull the cover over himself when a chuckle stopped him.
\"Times New Roman\";color:aqua;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB\'>
\"Times New Roman\";color:aqua;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB\'>"You don´t need to
hide yourself now. I´ve seen everything already."
\"Times New Roman\";color:aqua;mso-ansi-languEN-GEN-GB\'>
\"Times New Roman\";color:aqua;mso-ansi-languag-GB-GB\'>He resigned himself to
the truth and let his hand fall down next to him. There was no need to be
any
anymore. He didn´t have anything more left.
\"Times New Roman\";color:aqua;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB\'>
\"Times New Roman\";color:aqua;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB\'>"Are you not
interested if I will hold my part of our deal?" the raspy voice came
through the darkness.
\"Times New Roman\";color:aqua;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB\'>
\"Times New Roman\";color:aqua;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB\'>Sapphire gasped. Did that
mean... did that mean that everything he sacrificed was for nothing?
\"Times New Roman\";color:aqua;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB\'>
\"Times New Roman\";color:aqua;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB\'>"Maybe I didn´t like
what I tasted..."
\"Times New Roman\";color:aqua;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB\'>
\"Times New Roman\";color:aqua;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB\'>He opened his mouth to
say something when he felt it. The dark thing moving inside him. Inside his
soul. Inside his body. He felt the Wiseman inside his head, the pressure that
gave him a splitting headache in a matter of seconds. He raised his hands and
clutched his head in them, curling in a tight ball on his side. It hurt. The
pain was making him nauseous.
\"Times New Roman\";color:aqua;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB\'>
\"Times New Roman\";color:aqua;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB\'>"... but I liked it.
And I like it still." The chuckle again.
\"Times New Roman\";color:aqua;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB\'>
\"Times New Roman\";color:aqua;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB\'>A tendril of darkness
moved in his mind and Sapphire felt as if the Wiseman was touching him again.
On his back, on his thighs, inside of him... He moaned in desperation.
\"Times New Roman\";color:aqua;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB\'>
\"Times New Roman\";color:aqua;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB\'>"Your family won´t
go to Earth. Not now at least," the voice was suddenly very cold, the
amusement lost. "My plans will be fulfilled. But I have all the time in
the world. I´ve waited for so long. Another century or two don´t matter for me.
I will hold my part of our deal, Diamond won´t die."
\"Times New Roman\";color:aqua;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB\'>
\"Times New Roman\";color:aqua;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB\'>Sapphire was shaking with
agony, quietly moaning as the mass of darkness moved through his body. It took
some time for the Wiseman´s voice to filter through his pain filled mind. And
even through his suffering he felt an equally painful relief. Diamond wasn´t
going to die. He was so relieved that he started to sob.
\"Times New Roman\";color:aqua;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB\'>
\"Times New Roman\";color:aqua;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB\'>"I will see you
tonight, my little Prince," whispered the raspy voice.
\"Times New Roman\";color:aqua;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB\'>
\"Times New Roman\";color:aqua;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB\'>Seconds later the agony
was gone, leaving only a deep burning ache inside of the quietly crying Prince.
The darkness dissipated, the light crystals started to glow with a deep blue
light again. And outside - the sky was clear and the starts shone. The storm
was over.
