《Destiny Rewritten》Chapter 149

"What do you mean a demon is after our daughter?" Oliver asked angrily.
"Exactly that. I'm sorry, I know this isn't news new parents like to get." John said.
"That's an understatement." Laurel said.
"But fortunately, there is a bit of good news." John said.
"What do you mean?" Oliver demanded.
"We still have time to stop this demon before he can even make a move on Jasmine, since he's unable to reach her yet." John said.
"What do you mean?" Laurel asked.
"The soul of a newborn child is too pure and untainted for a demon to get anywhere. If this bloke tried to get anywhere close to Jasmine now, he'd disintegrate." John said.
"So what do we do?" Oliver asked.
"Well, luckily, I've already identified the demon's name. Mallus." John said and Oliver nearly did a double take.
"Mallus. You sure that's the demon's name?" Oliver asked.
"Positive. The only catch is that Mallus is not a normal demon. Even my magic is strong enough to kill him, even if he were on this plane of existence." John said.
"Meaning?" Laurel asked.
"The moment I learned that Mallus was after your little girl, I began doing everything I could to learn about the bastard and kill him." John said.
"And what did you learn?" Oliver asked.
"Centuries ago, Mallus was imprisoned by the original totem bearers of the 5 tribes of Zambezi." John said.
"Imprisoned where?" Oliver asked.
"Within time itself." John said.
"So he's still trapped right?" Laurel asked.
"Yes, but somehow, he's growing stronger. If he's able to successfully turn your daughter into his vessel, he will be free." John said.
"So we kill him before he gets the chance." Oliver said.

"How?" Laurel said.
"We already know where one of the totems of Zambezi is at this moment." Oliver said.
"Zari." Laurel said and Oliver nodded.
"Exactly. And we can use the Waverider to help us find the others." Oliver said.
"There's one more thing." John said.
"What is it?" Laurel asked.
"I learned that the reason the totem bearers failed to kill Mallus is because they were on short. A sixth tribe once existed and was erased from all records because they sided with Mallus and therefore, the totems weren't powerful enough to kill him." John said.
"So we find those missing totems, we can use them to kill Mallus before he has a chance to get to Jasmine." Oliver said.
"It's not that simple mate. Mallus is imprisoned." John said.
"So we let him out and kill him." Oliver said.
"You don't understand what you're saying." John said.
"I'm aware that it's risky to let a demon out it's cage, but it sounds like it's the only way to keep Jasmine safe and my duty is to my family first. To hell with everything else." Oliver said.
"I just want to make sure you're prepared to deal with those consequences." John said.
"John, wouldn't you do anything to save someone you care about, consequences be damned." Oliver asked.
"Of course I would. And I'm still suffering the consequences of what happened the last time I did that." John said.
"John, please." Oliver said.
"Alright Oliver. First, let's contact this Zari friend of yours. We'll go from there." John said and Oliver nodded his agreement.
"In the meantime, Jasmine should wear this at all times." Constantine said as he a small baby sized necklace from his coat pocket.

"What is it?" Laurel asked skeptically.
"A protective talisman. I know I said that her soul is safe for now, but there's no such thing as too much protection when it comes to demons." John said.
"On that we agree." Laurel said as she let Constantine place the necklace on Jasmine.
"Also, when she gets older, Jasmine's magical powers are going to start to develop. She'll more guidance than you can provide to help her learn how to control it." John said.
"Maybe you can." Oliver said.
"If I'm still kicking at that time, I'd be happy to, though considering my line of work, that's a pretty big if." John said.
"Tell me about it." Oliver said in agreement.
"Enough about that, for now, let's focus on saving our daughter." Laurel said.
"No one will ever hurt her. Man or demon." Oliver promised as he looked down at his sleeping daughter's face and knew that he'd literally go to hell and back to keep her safe. No matter what.

World of Alvarra: Rise of the Vampire Lord
Van was born a dhampir with memories of past lives that plague him. If he does not overcome them, he may face a slow descent into insanity. Growing up in a world where the memories of his past lives, clash with the truth of this strange new world. A world where women outnumber men to a large margin and are in control. Filled with magic, ki, aura, and creatures from other dimensions trying to break into his world to devour it. Will Van survive and thrive and make sense of it all? This is a story where I’m hoping to take some things and put them on its head. Everyone has heard of isekai about now, but has anyone ever really contemplated what it would be like to have voices, visions, or archaic ideas and views swim around a person's mind? We also hear about how the mc’s always gets the harem. But what if that's because there are more women than men and women are somewhat biologically different then the women we know from our world. Imagine a society where anyone can become strong and since there are more women than men, there are more stronger women than stronger men and now apply medieval history and a view that men are lower than women because the goddess made women in her image. And what if, the mc isn’t the only one with memories of past lives, and he meets some people who have been driven insane because of it? This is my first time writing a book and showing it to potential thousands of people. I won’t promise that my work will be good right off the bat. But I'm hoping that, with enough constructive criticism, I can provide an interesting read for all comers and improve to match and exceed the expectations put on me. The image used above does not belong to me. Warning! There is blood, gore, sex, and rape!(not anymore...) I may not be a good writer yet, but I will try to give a more realistic and authentic view of this world. This world and what you know of it will be of the view of the mc. So if something does not make sense to you, it probably does not to the mc ethier. Finally. For the sex or smut, scenes. I will hide them under spoiler. But you should not have to worry about it until somewhere around chapter nineteen or twenty, so if you don’t want to continue reading a book with sex, stop there. I will also be putting an NSFW sign in the chapter heading to warn people ahead of time. (all sex scenes will now be moved to my Patreon and scribblehub.) Thank you for reading and please help me become the writer I am hoping to be as well as the writer you all deserve to read from.
