Third Person's POV

Dymitri woke up feeling comfortable and warm. He shifted his body and turned around only embraced by the overwhelming warmth so he cuddled closer and laid his head in the pillow but his eyebrows furrowed as he felt his supposed to be pillow is hard and warm. He caressed it and he heard a chuckle so he opened his eyes and catch the gaze of the intimidating King, looking straight to his purple eyes.

He yelped in surprised and tried to get away from the King's embrace but he was immediately held by a pair of arms and pulled him back, hitting his face into the toned chest of the King. He squirmed under his touch but the King didn't let go, instead he leaned down until his nose is touching the tip of Dymitri's nose resulting the Kitten to stop from moving.

"Don't move, you're making me hard." He whispered lowly with his deep raspy voice that made icicles raced down to Dymitri's spine. He shuddered when he felt something poking his legs, it's hard and it's twitching until realizations struck him that the thing that poking his legs is King's morning wood.

A blush crept in his face and closed his eyes, until King chuckled and ruffled his hair, pushing his self back creating space to the both of them.

"It seems like you're exhausted last night after you came in my hands, I had to clean you up after you fell asleep." King amused standing up wearing only boxers and his shaft is bulging out. Dymitri immediately averted his gaze away from King, especially the thing that is seeking attention from King.

The nearly naked King grinned seeing how his Kitten reacted at his state right now. He can't help it, he always sleep like that.

But suddenly, images from last night's happenings made him embarrassed, remembering how King jerk him off, kissed passionately and came in his hands until he fell asleep. The shade of red blush were now redder than before and King noticed it.

"Don't be embarrassed, it normally happens to lovers." He assured and smirked when his Kitten turned his head to see him. The blush is still evident tho, but he calmed a bit down.

King walked off with a cocky grin, muscles flexed everytime he moved as he head towards the bathroom to take his business other than showering.

Dymitri took a pillow as he sat down in a toddler manner and hugged the pillow against his legs and chest but as soon the familiar scent hit his nostrils, he sighed in comfort and relief how the overwhelming musky masculine scent infiltrate his nose and lungs. King's scent made him at ease and he's relieved that King is not around or else, he would embarrassed himself again in front of the man who happens to touched him affectionately. It would be weird that he's sniffing the remnants of King's scent when the King is present in the area.

His face scrunched up when he remembered something, he should go visit his two other friends that are staying in the same building with him. Without further ado, he climbed down the bed and wore his slippers as he exited the room and rushed to the room where Khalil and Skye stays. He was near to his friends' room when a door next to the room where Ali and Skye stays opened and revealed a sleepy Prince wiping the sleepiness away from his eyes. He only wears shorts and revealed his scrumptious body in sight.

"Oh, morning little one." Prince greeted him groggily and yawned after.

"Morning Kieffer." Prince immediately stood frozen at his place. He looked skeptically at Dymitri and Dymitri eyed him back.

"W-what?" Dymitri asked.

"You call me in my name." He replied and Dymitri's eyebrows furrowed.

"Why? Is there wrong with that?"

"No, actually I like it. Though I want Khalil call me that." He whispered to himself the last sentence that made Dymitri curious.

"What was that?"

"Nothing. Where are you going actually?"

"I'm gonna go to Ali and Skye."

"Sorry to inform you but the two already woke up, they're at the kitchen downstairs with the prick named Exequile." He joked.

"Oh. Really?"

"Uh huh, got a message from Ace through our mind link that they're already downstairs. Sure that bastard really ruins my beauty sleep." He hissed.

"Oh, sorry about that."

"Whatever, remind me to kick his ass later when we arrived there." He joked and Dymitri chuckled genuinely.

"Okay." He said and they began to walk.

"Uhm, Demi?"

"Yeah?"

"About what happened between me and Khalil, I'm terribly sorry for that. It's just, anger pushed me to the edge and made me do that to your friend. If you want to hit me, I won't fight back just to plead for your forgiveness." Kieffer exclaimed feeling guilty at his actions that day.

Dymitri was taken a back with it. He gently smiled and replied,

"I forgive you Kieffer, you're just a person after all and person makes mistakes, they're not perfect. I'm not a deity for you to plead me for my forgiveness. If the deities above can forgive, then so am I."

"Thanks Demi. Now I'm sure why Theodore took interest in you." He winked and with that, Dymitri blushed.

He didn't replied nor speak, thinking how the King of the academy took interest in him. He was snapped back to reality when they finally arrived at the kitchen seeing Skye and Exequile glaring each other.

"You son of a bitch. Get the fuck out of my face before I slap you with my spatula." Skye spatted annoyed.

"Oh yeah? Why should I?"

"Because you're a goddamn freaking bastard. I'm trying to cook here peacefully but you're ruining it."

"The fuck with you. This is our headquarters, how dare you."

"Shut the hell up Exequile. If you're not hungry then go away because I've been trying to act nice when you're around but now that you're getting in my nerves, I would gladly burn you together with these bacons."

"What are you? A chef?"

"Says the one who can't even make a toast." Skye said with pride and that made Exequile fumed in anger.

"What? Cat got your tongue?" He taunted and made Exequile gritted his teeth.

"Instead of thanking me for cooking, you're angry first thing in the morning. What the hell is your problem?" Skye asked in distaste.

"You are my problem."

"Then, that's not my problem. Now, get lost." Skye said and flipped the bacons in the pan.

"Why you--"

"Don't even think about it." Their heads snapped to the entrance when they heard a dangerous voice coming from the intimidating King as he emerge from the halls.

"Don't ruin my day by arguing like the two of you are goddamned married." He added and the tension between the two immediately dispersed.

"Sorry." Skye sheepishly said.

"Fuck." Ace suddenly stormed out without a warning.

"Uhm, what's with him?" Khalil finally voiced out after he saw how the two argue like there's no tomorrow. He was sitting in the island chairs silently watching the two fight.

"That bastard had a menstruation today." Skye rolled his eyes and continued to cook. King went to Dymitri's side and stared the little boy intently. Dymitri felt someone is staring at him so he followed his instincts and turned his head only ended up catching King's gaze. He blushed and gulped before he looked away as if it nothing happened. King, on the other hand smirked mentally that his own self now is affecting Dymitri, but not in a bad way.

When Skye was finished, they ate once at all, but without Exequile of course. After they eat their breakfast, Dymitri helped Skye wash the dishes while Khalil is in his seat gladly talking to them while washing the dishes. Kieffer went back to his room and showered and King went to the living room to watch television.

When the three was finished they went to their room to take a bath so they could go out and hang out with their other friends. They reached the living room seeing Kieffer and Theodore with a calmed Exequile on the couch. When Skye's and Exequile's eyes met, they stared each other. Exequile glare but something in his eyes that reverts his glare and Skye was somehow surprised with it.

"Where are you going?" Kieffer asked.

"To Taylor." Khalil replied.

"Oh, okay."

"Just make sure that you'll be back before dawn. We still in charge of looking out for all of you. After all, the three of you are the new set Pillars." King said sternly as if lecturing his children.

"Yes King." Dymitri said and smiled a bit.

"We're going. See you later." He added before they exited the room.

"He's still feisty." Kieffer chimed after the three was gone.

"Fuck yeah." Exequile agreed referring to Skye with their early in the morning argument.

"Why the hell are you arguing with him first thing in the morning?" King asked him.

"It's nothing. Just fucking stressed."

"Is this about Khadija being a slut to Betas again?" Kieffer asked and Exequile gritted his teeth.

"That bitch. How dare he slept with Betas when she's with me?"

"Wow, is that they call karma?" The Prince naughtily teased with a toothy grin.

"Says the one who nearly fuck an underage." Exequile bit back glaring at Prince who's jaws are clenched in annoyance.

"So, what are you going with that bitch?" King asked monotonously.

"Of course, dispose her. Like what you did to Trinity." He replied with a smirk.

"Good choice." King agreed.

"Now, that you're cooled down. Let's go after those three."

"You're really smitten with your kitten aren't you?" Kieffer teased.

"Yeah, like you who's been sneaking a stare at the Saint's ass everytime he doesn't look at you." King smirked when Kieffer's ears went red.

"I did not." He defended.

"Yes you are moron. You can't fool me." King smirked and stood up, walking towards the door.

"Fuck you."

"Not a chance." King said before he finally exited the headquarters. The two looked each other and followed to where their supposed to be babysitting went.

A day has been passed and now, they're finally assembled to the place where Headmistress Demonise assigned them. The four out of seven are already tensed and anxious for the day where they were finally having a special training. King nudged his kitten beside him, catching his attention and he succeeded when Dymitri looked at him.

"W-what?"

"Don't be nervous."

"S-sorry. I can't help it."

"Don't worry, you got me. I'll be on your side and help you control your powers." King leaned closer and ruffled Dymitri's gray soft and silky locks.

"Thank you King." He audibly whispered and the King grinned.

Skye had this poker face, but showing any emotions to the man beside him who happens to boil his blood two days ago.

"Shit." He rolled his eyes hearing cuss Exequile beside him. He faced Khalil who happens talking to Kieffer at peace. After what happened that day, they seem to be closer now.

"You can talk to me you know." Taylor butt in and Skye glared at her playfully.

"What's with the mood?" Taylor asked.

"Nothing, I'm just not feeling well." He admitted and crossed his arms against his chest.

"Looks like someone is having a red flag today." Taylor teased, nudging with her elbow Skye's side.

"Shut up." He hissed and looked away.

Soon, Headmistress Demonise arrived and the seven of them composed theirselves properly.

"Good morning children. How's your morning?" Demonise asked with a gentle smile.

"I-it's great ma'am." Dymitri replied, stuttering.

"Well, I can feel your anxiety right here Demi." The Headmistress chuckled and approached them.

"Today, we'll be doing your training in a different place for the rest of the day." She informed and snapped her perfectly manicured hand and they all disappeared into thin air and found theirselves in a grassy yet rocky terrain with cool breeze of air blowing. A lake with crystal blue waters was a few meters away from them making the scenario more peaceful.

"Go prepare and warm up yourselves. The training is not what you expect to be easy." She warned and walked away.

They did what Demonise told them, until Demonise came back.

"Today, you'll be fighting to one another and the first to fight is Taylor Morgans and Khalil Dela Torre." She informed and they fell silent.

"Don't worry. I'll stop the fight when your opponent fell in the ground." She added while looking to them intently, word expressed cryptically. Khalil and Taylor looked at each other. They went to the terrain where their battle will be held while the rest is standing in the under the shade of a giant tree.

When Khalil and Taylor is in either side, they prepared themselves for their upcoming battle.

"Ready? Begin!" Demonise announced.

Taylor snapped her fingers and her mythical flute appeared in her hand, preparing for her attack against Khalil while het opponent internally panicked. Khalil is not used in fighting but there's no time for that, he should learn how to fight in order to save his life so he concentrated and focused his energy for the upcoming attack.

Taylor did the first move as she aimed her flute to Khalil and started to play it. Magical musical notes came out from the flute and flung towards Khalil. The first thing Khalil was concealing himself with the help of his barrier that protected him against Taylors attack. Taylor started to move, running towards Khalil as her flute changed into a spear. Khalil broke his barrier and gathered his energy to his hands, unleashing beams of light into Taylor's direction.

Taylor stopped and tried to block Khalil's attack but it's too late when Khalil hit her in the leg. She stumbled a few steps backwards, trying to maintain het balance and avoid falling into the ground. Khalil took it as his chance and charged at Taylor but, he stopped midway when the ground began to shake.

"What's happening?!" Khalil asked to himself until gigantic bean stalks emerged from the ground. The rest was surprised and shocked seeing how those gigantic vines lively moved as if it has it own life.

"In every battle, you should expect the unexpected." Demonise smirked.

Taylor and Khalil looked at each other, sending signals as if they were talking.

"And be careful, those beanstalks are pretty dangerous. They can crush a palace with just one blow." She taunted then smiled.

The vines began to swing, trying to hit the two and they immediately dodged. Taylor's flute turned inti a sword and swayed it, cutting some of the vines while Khalil shot the vines with his light beams.

The people under the tree watched intensely to the people who fighting the beanstalks. Dymitri looked worried for the two of them and it's pretty evident until he felt an arm snaked around his waist and pulled him closer to someone's body. He looked up and saw King's gaze burning him.

"Are you okay?"

"I d-dunno."

"Calm down there Kitten. They're strong." King assured and gently caressed Dymitri's side that made his Kitten squirmed under his touch.

"D-don't, please don't." King chuckled and leaned closer to his ear, whispering,

"You really make me hard." Dymitri immediately blushed and looked away. King mentally smirked and looked back to Khalil and Taylor who's fighting against the beanstalks.

A beanstalk tried to slash Khalil but he immediately enveloped himself in his protective barrier. As soon as he broke the barrier, a vine from the back suddenly wrapped him, squeezing his body tightly.

"Ahhh!" He let a yell of pain that made Dymitri yelped in fear.

"Ali!" Taylor yelled and slashed the vine in front of her and tried to approached Khalil but it's too late when a sudden vine hit her in the stomach that results to Taylor flying and fell in the ground with a loud thud.

"Taylor!" Ali screamed seeing his friend laying in the grassy ground.

He tried to free himself from the grip of the vine but it's too tight, preventing him to move further. He tried to use his power but he can't because of the pain he's in now. He tried to focus and gained his energy, closing his eyes as the vines wrapped him tighter. The moment he opened his eyes, his eyes was changed into another color which is silver. He closed his fists until he felt his hands are burning. The burning became hotter and hotter until the beanstalk was burned into a white flame that freed him from the grip. He landed on the ground safely, but his hands are burning with the white flame that burned the stalk earlier.

His friends was amazed by this, even the Triple Crown. Khalil aimed his hands into ground and blasted the white flame into the ground as he began to float. His powers are helping him float as if a rocket flying in the sky. When he's far enough from the beanstalks, he moved his hands into the beanstalks direction and aimed the mythical fire to the moving vines and blasted it with all of his might. The beanstalks were indulged into the hot menacing white flame that immediately made them dry and ashy. The stalks immediately fell into the ground and remained lifeless as Khalil slowly went into the grassy terrain. He landed safely and fell limp when his powers fell off.

Prince immediately ran to him and catch the young man who exhausted himself from the battle.

"Are you okay?"

"Y-yeah. Just a little dizzy." Khalil admitted as Kieffer held him before he fell.

"That's unexpected Khalil." Headmistress Demonise said, helping Taylor in her arms.

"You unleashed some of the power of the Saint. That eternal fire is much stronger from what I expected." She added smiling towards him.

"Oh?" He audibly said making the Headmistress chuckle.

"Come and sit under the tree, I'll heal you two up." She instructed and they went to the tree. They made the two sat and the Headmistress raised his palm, leveling into their heads. A faint white light glowed in her palm as she began to treat her students' bruises and injuries. Seconds later when they finally regained their energy and power.

"An apprentice from the former Saint can use a little trick to heal, you know." She winked and leave the two chuckle.

"Okay, next is Skye Sanderson and Exequile Salvatore." She quickly announced.

Skye flinched hearing who's his opponent for today while Exequile remained and calm. The two went to the battle field and faced each other, preparing theirselves and waiting for the signal of the Headmistress.

"Ready? Fight!"

Immediately, Ace manipulated his powers which is psychokinesis and controlled the rocks around, floating in the air. The rocks was immediately sent to Skye's direction but only Skye summoning a portal right in front of him making Ace's attack went through the portal. He aimed the connecting portal above Exequile, facing it under him and his attack went out, falling straight to him.

Exequile saw it, and able to control all of it. He smirked and manipulation some of the rocks that hit Skye in the back. Skye's concentration fell off as the floating rocks began to trap him in a swirling vortex.

He looked at Exequile who's grinning at him until his eyes fell blurry. His head felt dizzy but he just shake it off and tried to focus himself for the fight.

"Gate of the Heavenly Scales, open!" Suddenly, a golden magic circle appeared in front of him revealing a woman with white crop top and white genie like pants. Her hair was also white and half of her face was covered with white fabric, revealing his beautiful silver eyes.
