Book 2: Intermission 3

Allens Office in the Silver Association Base

Allen slams his fist down on his desk, causing a crack to form on it as he shouts at Sage, What the hell do you mean theyre missing?!

The woman in front of him simply looks him in the eye and answers calmly, They just vanished one day from our trackers. You know what this means.

Damnit!! he shouts, barely holding himself back from slamming his fist into the desk again. How? Just how could this happen? And how did they hide from me for years?! Before Sage can answer, he asks, Which of the orphans were they?

Sage rattles off three names without any hesitation, making Allen frown.

I remember them Jamie, Jarod, and Jennifer. A set of triplets. And if I remember correctly, they were found together in a dumpster by Scarlet of all people. Then they followed her home and wouldnt leave until I got back and welcomed them to the orphanage

So stupid he mutters, clenching his fist. How could I not have noticed? Changelings shouldnt be able to hide from me for that long. Not unless did they have a magic item?

Sage just watches as her boss begins pacing back and forth, trying to figure out how the three changelings managed to sneak into the orphanage without him being able to figure out what they were.

After a few seconds, he stops and looks at Sage while asking, And you say they left surveillance soon after the last Demonic Assault began?

Sage nods her head, Correct. They were last seen by the drones transforming into their original forms before breaking through the citys barrier and rushing into the wilds.

Damnit at least they cant be traced back to me since I disbanded the orphanage, regardless of how cruel that may sound I still wish I didnt have to disband it though. I was hoping to at least keep an eye on the kids in case they needed help, but this wasnt what I was expecting to find instead.

Allen eventually sits back down with a sigh.Ñøv€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.

Sage wisely doesnt say anything in response.

Somewhere in the Wilderness

Morax the Deceiver rushes through the trees with both Vapula the Tinkerer and Nebiros the Plague Bearer behind him, each of the three changelings moving far faster than any regular human eye could ever hope to spot.

I didnt think this day would ever come, Vapula says through her telepathy skill, the she-demons leathery wings flapping behind her every time she rushes from tree to tree. And Morax cant help but agree. This has been a long time coming.

The day they were finally freed from that city by the Princes direct command. Or at least, freed to head to a different city. One known as Terra by the filthy humans of this world.

Morax still cant help but shiver at just how long he had to imitate those terrible creatures.

Except the Princess of course, because shes royalty. And she will eventually shed her filthy human genes for the superior blood lycan genes of the royal family.

Morax believes this with all his heart as he rushes through the trees, for once feeling the wind passing through his leathery red and black scales and his humanoid face covered in lighter scales than the rest of his body. Just feeling his ears extended to their full, sharp length rather than stuck in the form of a human child.

And the feeling of his tail out and whipping around again!

It feels so good to be back in my original form again!

Remember that we still have a job to do, Nebiros states, his voice sounding gruff and scratchy in the other twos minds. If anything happens to Her Highness, both the Demon King and His Highness will have our hides over a dozen times over.

That snaps Morax out of his moment of bliss as he and the other Class III changeling demons pick up the pace towards the capital of the human world.
