On My Way: The Demon King Made Me His

Chapter 3: Everything New !



Chapter 3: Everything New !

Yes, changes are always inevitable. You want one thing, but something else happens to you. And adapting to those changes becomes necessary, even though it will be more than you can imagine, more than you can handle, by having to take thousand steps at once to cross the bridge, to keep up with the fate's pace. But you should, you have to, because it is normal, and everything is possible, whatever you see around you. Just trust yourself and you can surely do wonders.

Aqua couldn't understand what was going on around her. The man she bumped into, though it's her first time, she couldn't understand why he looked familiar to her even though he is not somebody she used to know living her life on earth. Then it reminded her of her previous life.

She missed her human life all of a sudden thinking about her family. The house she lived in, her room, her clothes, the tummy food she always had from the hotels. It broke her to think how her parents would be feeling bad with the accepting the reality of her death. And she missed her friends and also Allen. The realisation struck her how she will never be able to live with them. It struck her only then. It scared to think what after life is going to be like. Alone, in a strange place, though it is said that it's heaven. She also wondered whether she would be able to eat and sleep ever walking around like that.

As she continued walking, with nowhere to go, she decided to find a shelter since hear feet were bare and aching, from wandering for a long time. The woods were green and beautiful with the birds chirping and the breeze, that stroked her hair. She shivered in cold and covered her with her hands, trying to warm up. She could hear the water ruffling in the distance and decided to take her way through the course of water to go on the right path.

She looked around for a house hopelessly instead found an empty tree hut on top a huge tree, near an overflowing river. It felt oddly familiar. She climbed the tree somehow and settled inside the tree hut, panting hard as ever.

To her surprise there was somebody in there, sitting on a small coat. He stood up as he was interrupted and looked at her.

"Am sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt," she apologized and began to climb down. But she was stopped, pulling her hands back. A talk figure, with pale skin and free long brown hair, plaited on the either side of the ears. He was wearing a white and sky blue hanfu and looked really handsome.

"Wait," He said. The man then suddenly took her hands in his and started talking to her, pulling her back inside the tree hut, all excited with tears filling his eyes with happiness. He kept talking to her. She didn't understand a word he said to her while she stood observing him and trying to decipher the meaning of atleast one thing he was talking about.

"What?" she asked back once he stopped. 'Why do people stare at as if they know me,' she wondered. "Pardon me, but I did not understand a word you said," she told him.

He turned her around looking at her reaction and pulled the gown down her shoulders, checking for a symbol in her body without her permission, trying to make sure of her identity.

"What are you doing? Leave me?" she struggled under his hands who was holding on to her tightly. It hurt her the place he was holding on to. He found a faded mark of the water dragon in the back of her shoulders. He put the clothes back on with relief. He sighed.

"I will explain, sorry," he said correcting her clothes and apologising to her.

He has been watching the dead aquarius constellation shining bright again after years, for the past few weeks and he wondered if she was back. But little did he expect to see his cousin back in one piece who has been healing all these years back on earth even though she looked a little different. Wearing a white plain robe and sloppy hair do, she didn't a bit look like the heavenly princess of water realm. He smiled and let her go.

"Aqua you are back," he screamed and hugged her once again. He understood how she had no memories about anything but still couldn't contain his excitement. "It's me, Aiden," he reminded her, but she couldn't help but take a step back looking at him, weirdly. To her for a moment he just looked like a mad man screaming 'Eureka'. She took few more steps back and sat down on the coat.

"You are back, Aqua you are back home," he kept saying. "Can you not recall anything?" He asked her and put his hands up and sent a signal high up at the sky. The rain began to pour down in a moment. He let know the heaven about the arrival of the crown princess.

'What on earth is he doing?' she was shocked.

Aqua heard footsteps outside the tree hut, she looked outside, panicking a little. Aiden held her hands and jumped, landing with with a thud on the river bank. There were four five people and in middle she noticed a noble lady wearing a navy blue long gown with silver hair put with a crown in her head. There were tears in her eyes the moment she set her eyes on Aqua.

"Aqua," she called her daughter.

"Mother," Aqua was shocked. 'How did she end up here?' Aqua wondered. Mother looking exactly like how she used to look when living on the earth. Even though she recognised her mother, she couldn't understand why everyone looked different and dressed up.

"Aqua," her mother approached her, hugging her. The people standing next to her looked happy to witness the reunion. Aqua hugged her mother back in confusion. But she kept wondering. She couldn't help it. Her heart pounded loud with the thoughts that clouded her head.
