Mogrok and Deia find Kyo at the spot where she has seen him. He is digging the ground with his hands and crying. "Sister..."
"Boy, stop." Mogrok sighs. He gets the idea of what might have happened here. He turns to the Seer. "Do you see anything, Seer?"
She shakes her head. A question has been bothering her. "Mogrok, is it the new Renasir's doing?"
Mogrok stares at her. "Seer, the new Renasir is my master."
"What?" She touches her forehead. "How is that possible?"
"It should be impossible." Mogrok wonders what he should do. "That dragon... That's why I told the master to stay away from a traitor's son."
Deia has an empty feeling in her heart. After making the bond and giving her a new life, he left her without a word. Does the night have no meaning to him?
Kyo suddenly stands up and turn around. His fingers are bleeding. "Beast, the gate to Dema realm is not opening. Why?"
Sensing that the Dark God is awake, Deia steps backward. She still remembers what he did to her. She went crazy because of him last time.
The Dark God doesn't even glance at her. He glares at Mogrok. "She's too far from this realm. I can't stay awake for a long time. Answer me now."
"When the 11 gods separated the old world, the 12th God asked for a separate realm for Dema and everyone else who is born under his law. The Dema are too strong to live with humans. So, the 11 gods agreed." Mogrok only knows what he has heard from his inmates. His inmates have heard it from the cursed children who often wandered into the prison in their dreams on the night of the unions. "Humans cannot go to the dema continent without the permission of the dragon god. The gate to the dema continent can only be opened by Dema who has the permission of the dragon god. In the same way, the dema cannot freely come to the human realms. But, the dragon god can send his blood if he acquires the permission of the renasir."
"Kresi?" Deia asks, confused. "When did she give permission?"
"It's not her." Mogrok shakes his head. "It's the previous Renasir."
The Dark God feels his strength disappearing. Again. The higher and middle realms are close. His strength wasn't affected much when she was taken to the edge of the higher realm by the chosen one. The Dema continent, the realm of Dema, is too far from the middle realm. He can't even sense her or feel whether she is alright. That betrayer! If he hurts her...
"You are his mate." He looks at Deia.
He can't hold for long. He must get close to her before he loses his awareness again. Deia is scared beyond words when she sees him walking toward him. "I want to help, but I don't want to die."
He can't keep his awareness for long.
"You won't die." That's the only words he offers. A summoning gate with no destination appears beneath them. Deia shrieks in fear when he bites her finger and drops the blood in the circle. Mogrok hops into the circle when the violent green fire heaves upward to swallow them. The Dark God falls asleep before they are completely swallowed.

When I found myself lying on a stranger's bed last time, I was drugged with some magical potion and almost raped by the chosen one. I don't see any man around me this time. I don't think that this is a deluxe room either. Technically, I am sitting on a stone bed. There is a metal chain tied around my ankle. It's completely dark and the room is hot. I am thirsty, feeling like I am going to die from dehydration.
I lean back against the wall. The scalding heat burns my back. I move away. Who put me inside a microwave? Where the hell is Damin?
I am supposed to be on the land of dragons. I am sure that my current status is a prisoner of the dragons. Haha! If it was my previous life, I would laugh at the idea of dragons being real. Why dragons aren't small and cute like Mogrok? Enough monologue. I need to get out of here.
That's when I realize that there isn't a single drop of ehr around me. My channels are empty. It's not broken or blocked. As empty as my stomach that's growling for food.
This chain is so annoying. It's tight around my ankle. Why did they have to chain me? Just locking me in this room was enough.
I wonder if Kyo was found by Mogrok. Kyo must have been upset because I used magic on him, but he would have fallen with me if I hadn't pushed him away. I don't know how he will be treated on the land of the betrayer god. I need to get back to him.
"Hello?" I try to attract the attention of my captors. I am sure that we can talk civilly and come to an agreement. "Hello? Hello? Hello? Anyone there? I am thirsty. Can I get some water? Where the hell that ******** dragon go?"
I didn't need to add the last line. Controlling temper when you are hungry, thirsty, abducted, chained and sitting inside a room that like a microwave is very difficult.
The stone door slides away. The person is tall. Very. Taller than Andareanesi. He is skinny. Thinner than Andareanesi. He has a long face and uplifted eyes. I find myself envying his straight long silky dark orange hair.
"You are awake, Harbinger." He watches me with ruthlessness in his eyes. "The emperor wants to see you."
"The 12th god?" I am not surprised. "I want to see him too."
His stony expression remains the same. It takes a strong will to stand on my spot when he comes closer and pulls the metal chain from the wall. He turns his back and walks ahead of me, pulling me using the chain.
The chain is broken. I am out of the microwave. All I need is an opportunity to run.
