As they left and teleported to another location, a man suddenly emerged from the darkness of the night, walking toward one of the Hynix. He wears black robe and he has horns, and black wings. His wings spread and his eyes is red.
The Hynix flew toward him and stopped right in front of him. The man stroked the head of the Hynix.
He had been watching them for a while. He thought they were very idiot for picking a fight with Hynix. "What are those idiots doing?" he murmured. "They take Hynix's feathers. Is they want to make something?" He murmured.

They immediately teleported to Darius's house. They arrived at the gate of Darius's house.
"Hey, open the gate." Matthias said.
The gate of Darius's house suddenly opened by itself, and there was a voice. "Come in, i didn't even lock the door. I was too lazy to get up from the sofa and greet you."
They walked into the house area and suddenly the front door opened by itself. As they entered the house, they found Darius sitting on the sofa.
"What do you want?" Ask Darius.
"We've already obtained werewolf fur and three strands of Hynix feathers." Selena said.
"Wow, you all already got two, that's great!" Darius said.
Selena put the two ingredients in the shirt and Darius took them, immediately putting them into a caldron containing the potion liquid. "What else do you want to find?" Darius asked.
Selena paused for a moment. "We didn't know, we might look for something easy first."
Darius silent for a while. "Nymlith hair, there's an island not far from here and there are many Nymlith there." Darius said as he stirred his caldron. "They are the guardians of the island, you can find them easily. They are not very aggressive, but they don't like other immortals energy, like demonic and Dracula energy." Darius said, looking toward Victor and Matthias.
"There are no demons here, only Dracula." Marcus said. He looks confused.
Darius raised one eyebrow and looked at Matthias as if asking. "So they don't know who you really are?"
Matthias just rolled his eyes. "We'll leaving, it's late night, and tomorrow we have to go to the academy." Matthias aid. He walked away from the house, holding Alice's hand, and the others followed behind them. They teleported back near the bridge.
Nymlith is a beautiful creature, mixed of Elf and Mystique. They're living in Nymlith Island. They are don't like demon and other immortals energy, according to them, demon energy is too strong, and make them feel thereatened.
"Darius said, Nymlith don't like immortal energy." Selena whispered to Alice. "Is that mean Matthias and Victor can't come?"
Alice nodde." Yeah,, Matthias can't come, they might attack him if he's coming with us." Alice said. Alice hugged Matthias. "Baby, you'll not go with us to that island, right?"
Mtthias looked at Alice. "Why, princess?"
"Nymlith don't like demon energy." Alice whispered.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Matthias said.
"So, what about the other ingredients?" Ask Damian, suddenly.
"We'll look for it later, for now, you all go back to the dorms and home, it's almost midnight." Matthias said.
***
It's math class, Amalie and Eva can't focus because they're thinking about something, they're thinking about the demon problem. Is it true that Matthias is a demon? Isn't he the grandson of the Vienstorian's king? Who's he actually?
Amalie tried to focus but she can't. She's looked at Selena. "Is Matthias a demon?" Ask Amalie.
Selena was surprised, she didn't know what to say. "I... I don't know." Selena said.
"Are you really don't know about that?" Amalie said.
Selena nodded. "Yeah, maybe that's Victor?"
"Victor? Isn't he Dracula?" Eva said.
"Maybe he has demon blood, we don't know right?" Selena said, lying.
Eva and Amalie nodded. "Well, that's... kinda make sense even i didn't really believe it." Eva said.
Alice and Matthias are sitting together in the academy park. Alice lean in his arms. "People are starting to get suspicious of you." Alice said.
"Yeah, but I don't care. If they knew i was half demon, some people have demon blood." Matthias said.
She strokes his hair. "Is that would be okay?"
Matthias nodded. "Yes, that's fine. Beside, i don't care what other people say. If they dare to do anything, i will kill them. I've been through much harder things than this. My grandfather almost kill me."
Alice kissed his cheek." Baby, don't say that."
"Only you truly care about me, Alice. One day, i'll take you far away from here, and we'll start our lives together in a distant place." Matthias said.
Alice nodded. "Okay, Mattii." Alice smile. "You're sexy demon."
Matthias just chuckle when he heard that.
"Um, by the way, what about the ingredients for the potion?" Ask Alice.
"Honestly, I don't really care about that Zacrathis and potion things, Alice." Matthias said. "I only care about you."
"Matthias, don't be like that, we still have to help them." Alice said.
"Yes, even though they're very troublesome and Victor is with them." Matthias said.
"What about Nymlith? you can't go there." Alice said.
"No, if you go, then I'll go. Besides, who's gonna help them to teleport?" Matthias said.
Selena walked toward the library building, she carry her book in her arms. Selena go to the library alone because Riley is busy with her own tasks, she said he would work on them with her other friends. Meanwhile, Amalie and Eva are eating in the cafeteria. Selena didn't come because she wasn't hungry, and beside, she still had work to do.
Bryce saw Selena and decided to greet her. "Hey!" Bryce approached her with a book in his left hand.
"Hey, Bryce." Selena smiles.
"You want to go to library, right?" Ask Bryce. He ran his hand through his hair.
Selena nodded. "Yes."
"I also want to go to library, can i go with you.?" Ask Bryce.
Selena nodded. "Sure, you can go with me."
They entered the vast library. The distinctive smell of books greeted their nostrils, and they decided to go to the 3rd floor. The 1st and 2nd floors were already full of students, and the 3rd floor was not as crowded as the 1st and 2nd floors.
They sat at the same table, and Selena was very focused on her work.
Bryce looked at Selena and smiled. "How is this academy after you've been here for a few months?" Ask Bryce
Selena smiled and looked at Bryce. "I'm so grateful that i was accepted into this academy," Selena said. "I've learned so much and made so many friends."
Bryce nodded. "Yes, the thing that makes someone stay at an academy, university, or workplace the longest is their friendships. If they find good friends, everything will be easier." Bryce said.
Selena nodded, agree with him. "That's so true."
Suddenly, Damian came and walked toward Selena. He looked at Bryce for a second and stared at Selena.
"Hey." Damian smiles.
Selena smiles back at Damian. "Hey, Damian."
"What about our plans? Are we going to Nymlith Island?" Ask Damian, whispering near Selena's ear.
Selena shook her head. "I don't know, i'll talk to Alice and Matthias." Selena said.
Bryce watched Selena and Damian, raising one eyebrow. He was curious about what they were talking about because their faces looked serious.
"There are still many ingredients we need to get, honestly, i don't feel very useful. I can't do anything." Damian said.
"Don't say that, you're very useful." Selena said. She smiles at Damian.
Bryce roll his eyes and smirked at Damian.
Damian noticed Bryce looking at him and staring. "Don't look at me like that, it's annoying." Damian said before leaving the library.

Days passed. They planned to go to Nymlith Island on Sunday morning. They gathered at their usual meeting place, the bridge near the academy.
"Listen, nymlith are sensitive to the energy of other beings." Matthias said. "I and That stupid draculan, Victor, can't get too close with nymlith, we'll waiting in the coast."
Marcus looked at Matthias. He wanted to ask him soemthing, but he don't want to make him mad. But he decided to ask it to him. "Actually, Matthias, there's something I'd like to ask you. Who are you really? Ask Marcus. "You are very strong, and you can teleport to places that even Dracula, like Victor, cannot reach."
Matthias sighs. He closes his eyes for a few seconds. "Alright, i'm half demon," is that enough to satisfied your curiosity?" Matthias said.
Marcus, Damian, Riley, Amalie, and Eva looked surprised. They never suspected that Matthias was half-demon; they thought he might just be studying magic.
"Really?" Eva said.
"Yes, that's true." Matthias said. "And listen, i'm glad that i'm half-demon because i'm strong, unlike ordinary humans. I don't want all of you to ask about this ever again."
Victor tried to change the subject. "Hey, we should hurry to that island, idon't want us to waste our time." Victor said.
Matthias using his power to teleport to the coast from the island. Victor and Matthias couldn't go further, the nymlith might attack them if they see them. However, Alice, of course, could go. Nymlith and Mystique have a very good relationship, you could say they are almost similar creature.
Alice kissed Matthias's cheek. "I'll go, Matthias."
Matthias smiled and stroked Alice's pink hair. "Okay. I'll wait for you here. Call me if something bad happen." Matthias said.
Alice nodded. "Okay. Don't fight with him, okay?" Alice said, kissing Matthias's cheek one last time and walking away.
Marcus, Damian, Selena, Riley, Amalie, Eva, and Alice left Victor and Damian behind. They went through the shimmering forests, with many magical animlas in the forest watching them.
"Hey, that animal is so cute!" Eva said, looking at an animal that looked exactly like a monkey, but had light blue fur and bright blue eyes, it was very beautiful.
"That's a monisen. The magical version of a monkey." Alice said.
"Are those animals also on Mystique Island?" Ask Amalie.
Alice nodded "Of course, all magical animals come from Mystique Island."
"Whoa, that's cool." Selena said. "I though every island has their own magical animals breed."
"I have an animal that looks like a rabbit with a crystal on its forehead." Alice said.
"Oh, that animal! I know, it's a Loomy, right? said Eva.
"Yeah, they were the magical version of rabbits!" Alice said.
Suddenly, there's several nymlith approach them,.all of them hold a large spear.
"What di you guys want?!" One of the nymlith said. "and how did all of you get there!" They didn't feel any strong energy in their bodies except for Alice and a little bit of witch energy in Selena.
Selena don't know what to say, but she smiled. "Um, hey, we're from Vienstorian, w...we teleported...." Selena said.
"Why are you here?" Ask her.
"We... need something." Selena said.
"No, go away." She said.
Selena wants to get closer and say something to the nymlith, but Alice hold her hand. "Let me do it." Alice said, and Selena nodded.
"Hey, i'm Alice, from Mystique Island." Alice said.
The nymlith look at Alice. "No wonder your hair and eyes are sparkling." She smiled. "I'm Lynie." She said. "And those nymlith are guardians. We feel the presence of demonic energy, and we searched for that energy come from." Lynie said. "Did you bring a demon and other creatures with you?" Ask Lynie. Lynie has milk tea-colored hair and turquoise eyes.
Alice sighs and nods. "Yes, there are demons and Dracula. The demon who teleported us here, but he's on the shore of Nymlith Island. He is my boyfriend, he is not a bad bedmon." Alice said.
Lynnie looked at Alice in disbelief. "Your boyfriend? Are you serious? A mystique has a demon boyfriend??" Lynie looked shocked.
"That's not important right now. We need help." Alice said. "This is very important. I will tell you what happended but you have to listen to me.""
Lynie nodded. "Fine, what's that."
"Listen, something's happening. A few days ago, my friends found a man who had been affected by zacrathis magic. The magic came through a dangerous book. The book has a zacrathis magic, so anyone affected by the magic would see it as a book about loreineta, not a book about zacrathis. There's a man that affected by the magic, now he and the book are in prison in Stragivane. They were imprisoned by a witch, Nephada. And we scared if there might be more than one book, which could threaten Orthelis." Alice said. "A few days ago, we met Darius Genevara and he told us there was a potion that could destroy Zacrathis's magic. We want to make it, but we need to find the ingredients, including nymlith and mystique hair. I've cut my hair and given it to Darius, and now we need nymlith hair, please help us."
Lynie nodded in understanding. "So you came here to ask for a Nymlith hair?"
Alice and the others nodded. "Yes, we really need that." Selena said.
Lynie sileny for a while. "Alright, I'll give it to you on one condition." Lynie said.
"What condition?" Ask Alice.
"I will tell you, i need to show you something." Lynie said. "Follow me." Lynie walks away and they follow her.
They reached the nymlith residential area after 15 minutes. The area look beautiful and cute, some houses were shaped like mushrooms, others like fruits and flowers. There were even houses inside the trunks of large trees.
"By the way, your friend is handsome." Lynie said.
"Who?" Ask Alice.
"That man." Lynie look at Marcus, and Marcus notice it, his face become red like tomato.
"His name is Marcus." Alice said and then look at Damian. "And that man is Damian, they're siblings. Marcus is the older sibling."
Lynie smiles. "Ohhh, Marcus! He has cool name."
"Probably she wants to trade Nymlith's hair clippings with you." Damian whispered at Marcus and laughing.
