Calla Lily, The Eunuch King's Goblin Bride

The horseshoe began to clack on the ground, a noise of dignified steps of horses could be heard and that was the only movement that was audible.

Eunuch Eros felt blood gushing towards his heart immediately in a fast pace, maybe his hunch was correct and his Incubus intuitions were right, it was possibly another danger approaching them.

His heart raced fast and the increased palpitations could be heard in his ears, the sound of 'ba-dump' was filtered through the air, it was obvious that the Incubus King was the only person who was new to that thing.

The strange air was doing something to his spiritual core, he felt himself weakening as if the air held some kind of absorption spell that was s.u.c.k.i.n.g out his energy.

The only solution his intuitions presented him was to preserve the remaining energy by any means, Incubus King Eros instantaneously started to breathe deeper.

He glanced at King Theon and the other armed soldiers, upon finding everyone headed towards the destination without delaying any minute, even not bothering to look around.

He inhaled taking the air deeper, the dark magic that was spread across in the air combined with his spiritual core, the mere black magic did not even do any harm to the king.

As the Dark Lord himself, Eros Icarus absorbed the spells, the mere amalgamation provided him power rather s.u.c.k.i.n.g out his core and supernatural powers. 

He could feel the evilness in the forest, hounds of darkness were spread all around, haunting and waiting to hunt down its prey.

Outside the forest everything was normal thus entering into the 'forest of nightmares' all of a sudden harmed his spiritual core because of sudden shifting of surroundings.

The forest was sure enchanted heavily, one could easily mistook it for some beautiful mirage. As the caravan moved further into the dampness a sudden emergence of dragonflies appeared.

Golden and shining brightly, illuminating the innermost of the enchanted forest where a few rays were coruscating through the forest roof, the heads of trees were attached to each other, leaving no room for light to attack in.

"Here, We reach finally."

King Theon chipped, his body language was grandiloquent as of course he wanted the remarks of his 'most praised' man.

Eros stared at the scenario before him with a rocky - expressionless face. He did not want to appreciate what the King was trying to do, based on his own intuition of the arrival of something bad or gore.

A huge lake was laying right before his eyes, it's water was crystal clear as if no one ever 'stepped' inside and the water was never drained out, ever.

But something was still not right and a Dark Lord was able to sense the evil like a tingling sensation under his skin, and King Eros Icarus felt something similar to that feeling.

"I brought you here for a demonstration today, eunuch Eros."

King Theon gave out a cold chuckle while sitting on his horse comfortably. 

The soldiers dissipated from their regular form and stood along in a row, alongside the long stretched lake. It was unclear from where the spring water was coming and where was its origin. 

"A demonstration? What sort of demonstration, you demented freak?"

Eros wanted to yell loudly at him, spitting out the words, imposing and using his authority. 

But all the Dark Lord could do was to remain calm when a cold chill sn.a.k.e.d down his spine, he could not possibly expect something good and humane from that barbarous king.

"Demonstration? What wonders my honoured sight is going to witness, my Lord?"

Eros began to worry about the scenario what was going to occur but his mind also became preoccupied and too busy worrying about the survival in that kind of place.

"Where are you? Show yourself!"

King Theon chuckled again yelling for someone to show up, Eros wanted to scoff at his foolish act.

It seemed the mad king was demanding the presence of some shadow, but his voice echoed unnaturally around the vast and unusual silent dark forest.

"You will see soon enough, Eunuch Eros. And believe me, when I performed this ritual it was hella fun."

The sly fox's voice became amplified dangerously and King Eros became assured that this eccentric King was simply going to make God angry, the more likely something that would invite his wrath.

"But as you are a eunuch, so I will perform this ritual on your behalf, when I will do, you would wish probably that I hadn't rather you did it yourself."

Eros tried to pass him a smile but a weak one graced his face and that was obviousness because they were not there for a picnic or some holiday trip.
