On My Way: The Demon King Made Me His

Chapter 5: Back Home



Chapter 5: Back Home

Aqua didn't know apparation would be possible for her to do like the other in the heaven. She reached from place to another in a little time. It then reminded her of her favourite western fantasy series Harry Potter where the wizards apparated from one place to another while travelling. She got excited though she felt sick from apparating wanting to throw up badly.

The palace looked too large and luxurious than expected. Queen Rivera showed the way to Aqua's sea palace next to the main palace. Aqua stood there bewildered at everything she set her eyes on. She felt like a lost child taken to a shelter and seeing the house for the first time. She felt funny at her thought and followed her mother feeling reckless.

People came running seeing them from all the corners of the palace to get a glimpse of her. She couldn't believe that she was popular though she had no idea why. The maids, the servants, the guards, everybody walked behind them as they walked into sea palace. Not a soul who set their eyes on her could believe that she was brought back in one piece after ripped apart by the demonic soul ripping sword.

Queen Rivera was feeling very emotional towards her daughter, taking her back home to become what she used be. Ever since Aqua's death, she had searched the whole universe with the family for daughter's soul resting but in the end she found them in a new born baby in earth. She spent her years on earth taking the crown off, leaving the bringing temporarily in the hands of her brother and his son Aiden, to bring up Aqua, by nurturing her until the human fate took her daughter away again which was an unexpected blow.

If Aqua hadn't done the good deed of saving that child, Aqua could never have accended to heaven again and come back home, come back to be the Princess. But queen mother didn't understand the part where her daughter still hasn't gained her memories and consciousness of who she is.

Queen mother looked at Aqua as they entered the Sea Palace that looked sparkling, like it has never been shut down, cleaning and tidying up every single day in the hope of her return. She noticed Aqua looking like a complete idiot who has no clue of what is happening to her. Queen mother smiled. 'We will take time,' she told herself. Cousin Aiden was right behind them. He was finally excited about his life after years and years. He was glad that his family is back home and back in action.

"Don't worry your highness, it's Aqua, I have checked her mark on the back of her shoulders," Aiden assured Queen Rivera.

"Why am I here? Can anybody tell me? And mom? How come you're here? I don't understand? This is after life isn't it but why are you here?" she looked for answers, looking confused. She worried if her mother died along with her and ascended to heaven like her getting a higher reward or something. And she equally felt foolish to have such thoughts in her head like those fictional fantasy novels about heaven and hell she had read back on earth that were available in the public library

"Because you, a Princess, where else would you be taken if not your home?" an old man, with a hoarse voice spoke suddenly. Queen mother smiled with tears streaming down her eyes. Aqua gasped as her eyes set on the man.

"Pa," she gasped. She ran towards him and hugged. "Pa how are you here? Did you die too?" this time she asked out aloud.

"Am here too," a girl stepped forward talking to her.

"Milan, I thought I will never be able to see you guys," she broke into sobs. she hugged them all cried letting out her fears. "But how are you all here? I died, but why are you all here, did you all die too?" her sister little Milan wiped Aqua's tears and hugged her.

"We didn't die, We just came back home," She assured Aqua. "I mean yes for us to come back home, we did ofocurse had to die back at earth, but we are here together so it's worth it," The family gathered around and consoled Aqua for sometime and took her in to the palace.

"You should know that you have just temporarily lost the memory, we will help you recover your health, powers and restore your memories and energy, you will be who you are once you heal and cultivate," King Aenon, her father assured her.

Queen mother opened the door of Aqua's personal chambers and Aqua was shocked. She wasn't expecting what she witnessed behind those doors. She wanted to ask Milan more about what was happening to her.

"How could this possibly be?" she gasped. she took a deep breath as she set her foot inside. She touched the water like droplets staying afloat. She naturally felt a connection as she touched them.

"What are these?" she asked mother.
