The Elemental Princess

Chapter Five

Caedan’s POV

It has taken me a couple of days to travel to hone in on the strongest magical energy I was sensing. It was coming from a place near the mid-west of North America. A place they called the United States. I had criss-crossed for a while around trying to find the area. It was difficult to detect with the mountain range so close by. I think I have the right area, and I hope it is her, because if not, I will have to try and search elsewhere, and I don’t have many days left.

“She is close.” Diablos told me. “Go a little farther north and we probably can find her.” He said in my mind. I hope he’s right, I think. “Of course, I’m right.” Diablos can be a cocky bastard for a raven, but he’s protected me many times from other warriors, including my father. So here I go again.

I wish they had pegasus here. Travelling would be much faster. Flying uses up my magic here on Earth a lot quicker than on Zare. It also depletes my energy some because I have to phase until I’m invisible when I am flying. The sun will replenish me some, but not by much. Hopefully, I can get where she is and still absorb some sun before it goes down.

I arrived in a small town close to a major city. I was hit with the sense she was definitely close by. “I told you,” Diablos said. It was going to be sundown in an hour or two. I was walking in the direction I could sense her the most. This still takes time for walking around, but I picked up her energy at a local park. I think she was here just a couple of hours ago.

I’m able to follow her energy to the parking lot where she probably had some vehicle. I decided to sit in a sun patch on the grass close to where I sensed her the most. I was absorbing as much sun as I could to replenish my magic before the sun was gone for the day. The smell I was picking up of her was like the sweetest berry on Zare. It looks similar to Earth’s strawberries, as they call them, but they are almost double the size and are a beautiful bright medium purple color with white seeds. They’re called dragon berries. Now that I have her scent, I’ll be able to follow her easily as people go home for the night.

I traced her energy and smell to a small home, but again I had just missed her. I was standing there by a blue van listening to a couple of dogs bark at me while I knocked on the door anyway. “They’re not home.” Someone said. “I’m sorry.” I queried. I stepped back down the stairs and saw a woman in the open window next door. “They went out for the night at that new club in town, Starlight I think it is called.” She told me. “Thank you.” I replied.

I had been to a club once before when I visited here. It was fun to drink and dance to what they called music. It would be nice to have places sort of like this back in Zare, but it will never happen as long as my father is ruling Zare by force. I hope she will be more powerful than him if she is the true heir and defeats him, maybe saving me from the need. Maybe then we can integrate some things like clubs and such on Zare. Humans may have lost magic and don’t really believe in it anymore, but they do invent some pretty great things to have fun.

I was thinking all this while I walked to the club. I don’t want to use up what magic I replenished when I was sitting in the sun earlier. Also, I really like walking, especially at night. As I got closer and closer to the club, I could sense her and smell her stronger than ever. She is here. “Now we just have to go in and figure out which one is her.” Diablos said. “And get her back to Zare immediately.” I said to him in my mind. “Agreed.” He responded to me.

I glamoured the bouncer at the entrance into letting me in. I paid; I just couldn’t show my ID as I didn’t have one. I could sense her on the dance floor. Her smell was inviting to me. I made my way there. I just moved through the bodies towards the center.

There was a woman in the center with black wavy hair down her back looking like a waterfall in a black dress this was her. Her scent was so intoxicating. The man who was holding her was staring at me. She broke free from his grip and she turned to face me.

I was staring at Queen Lucia almost exactly. If she had rainbow colored hair and was older, it would’ve been the queen. She had a delicate face like the queen; however, her skin was a lot lighter caramel color than the queen’s. Her mouth was opened as she stared at me. I wanted to rip her clothes off and bury myself deep within her, making her mine to any Zarean male who came across her. I don’t know where this desire has come from.

Sure, it’s been a long time since I’ve been with a woman, but I have more important things to think of. I have to snap myself out of my fantasy and focus on getting her out of here and back to Zare. The man nudged her arm and closed his jaw, making her close her mouth. She continued to stare for a moment before she got a look on her face and started to move back from the man and me.

As I reached them, the man said something to me, but I wasn’t sure what he had said. She was rubbing her wrist as she was still backing away from me. Just then, the man grabbed her and said, “Excuse my friend, and then you guys should dance.” As he kind of shoved her into my arms, making her trip a little.

I caught her and set her back upright. We started to dance, but then the music changed to a slow, sultry music, and I pulled her close and wrapped my arms around her waist as she put her hands on my shoulders. I can smell her arousal. I had started to get erect. If she keeps staring at me like that, I may not be able to control myself much longer.

I tried to dance so she wouldn’t feel my erection. Her arousal just intensified the sweet smell that is uniquely hers. “We should mate with her before you turn her over to your father,” Diablos said. It's not like he would care about who had s*x with her, he just wants her to wield the golden sword so he could cement his rule over all of Zare, I thought. Just then, there was a commotion at the entrance of the club. People began screaming and running. MOTHERF**KER!
