A Demon's Journey

As Yrellea laid on the ground, enduring her hunger. She heard some noise from outside the den.

Curious to know who it was, she moved her tired body and walked towards the entrance of the den.

She laid her eyes on Laura who was comfortably walking towards her with some vines carrying many fruits and even herbs.

But Yrellea's surprise faded away as she recalled that Laura was a pure elf. Her identity probably wasn't as simple as just a high-ranked elf.

Laura entered the den and continued to eat the fruits she had brought. Yrellea gazed at those fruits from a distance.

Laura noticed her gaze but still continued to eat her fruits.

Yrellea's gaze was intensifying at those fruits as she also wanted to eat. Her stomach grumbled but this time, Yrellea managed to suppress it to an inaudible volume.

Laura then soon asked Yrellea while a vine with a pear stretched towards her, "Do you want to eat it?"

Yrellea ignored her but Laura continued speaking, "My mother had strictly ordered me to not share my food with a stranger."

Yrellea seemed to have expected that answer and thought nothing of it.

But Laura still wasn't done and continued, "So, all you have to do is become my friend. Then we won't be strangers." She finished speaking with a bright smile.

Her smile was so bright that Yrellea felt blinded for a moment.

Perhaps it was hunger that forced Yrellea to open her mouth and ask, "Will you really share these fruits with me?"

"I promise!" Laura unhesitantly answered.

Yrellea thought for some time and then spoke, "…Alright. I will be your friend. Please share your food with me."

She thought it wouldn't be too bad to go along with this kid game as long as she could get some food.

There was no point in holding onto her pride if she was going to starve to her death.

"Hehe~ You should have agreed from the start." Laura stood up and moved near Yrellea.

The fruits were brought by those vines along with her.

As soon as the fruits were in range, Yrellea grabbed hold of them and began chomping quickly.

She was eating at a very quick speed and it stunned Laura. It was as if it had been days or even weeks since she last had a good meal.

And that was scaringly true. The Silent Death only provided her with enough food to get her through the night. They were not going to treat her as well as Laura had been treated. They had a reliable supply of succubuses. They were unconcerned if she died of malnutrition or suffered from any other ailment.

Soon though, Yrellea's eating speed reduced and the two began to converse. She was in a much better mood now, and she answered most of Laura's queries.

Most of Laura's queries were related to where Yrellea lived and what was the scenery. How her family members were and so on…

Although somewhat uncomfortable, Yrellea did share her past history with Laura.

"How were you captured by that evil organization?" Finally, Laura took a leap of faith and asked this question.

Yrellea blankly stared at the food in her hands and it seemed as though she was recalling that day.

Laura remained silent for some moments. She realized that she had asked a really stupid and maybe personal question.

"As you know, we lived far from civilization and near one of the demon areas on this continent. Humans would rarely approach that place and maintain their distance. Because of this, our clan had managed to live on in peace. In this generation though, my grandmother died before she could appoint a successor of the clan. Thus, our clan was split between my mother's faction and my elder aunt's faction."

"My eldest aunt's side was extremely powerful, and my mother realized we didn't stand a chance. So... She sought the human's assistance. When she was a teenager, she met a human and became good friends with him. The person belonged to a Noble Family and possessed significant influence."

"However, this was a significant error on my mother's part. Once she invited the human experts to deal with my eldest aunt's faction, those human experts instead slaughtered my mother and all the experts in our clan and captured us all. They selected the ones with the best appearances and cultivation amongst us and then sent us to their respective branches where they could earn a fortune. That was how I ended up here."

Yrellea was soon finished telling her side of the story.

When she looked up, she saw tears in Laura's eyes and found that she was actually sobbing.

"The humans are really evil. They broke their word and actually turned against you. Mother was right that there was no limit to how low a human can fall." Laura spoke with some anger in her voice.

Yrellea chuckled at how simpleminded this girl was but she then asked her with a curious tone, "How were you captured?"

Laura was the one who kept her mouth shut now. She was thinking of her companions who tried everything they could to fend off the attackers, but it was all in vain in the end.

Soon, her lips parted, and a distressed tone sounded out, "My little brother is 7 years old. And he was diagnosed with a chronic illness. The Curse of Spirit. He possesses an abnormally large amount of spirit energy. It is so huge that his body isn't strong enough to handle that much spirit energy. This sort of problem is very normal in males within our Clan amongst the elves. The males would experience a strong outburst of their spirit at two ages. At 6 years of age and 15 years of age. Within the millions of years of history, only 4 or 5 men have actually managed to survive the spirit outburst at 15-year-old age."

"It is said that if a man survived this Curse of Spirit at these two ages, then he would possess the most supreme talent among the elves. But there is also another legend. It stated that to increase the chance of surviving the spirit outburst at 15-year-old age, the boy must eat one of the nine legendary herbs, the Mysterious Jade Spirit Ginseng."

"Last year, I saw my brother endure that Spiritual Outburst. And I was really scared. I don't think my little brother can endure another of that Spiritual outburst. I asked my mother and other elders to find that herb but they were adamant about not leaving the Elf Kingdom. It was as if they were prepared for my little brother's death. I wasn't convinced at all so I looked for an opportunity and secretly left the Elf Kingdom with some of my followers to grab that Legendary Herb. However, we soon encountered a group of humans who somehow managed to see through my identity. They even sent a 7 Star Expert after us. My subordinates sacrificed their lives for me to escape but the humans still managed to capture me."

A self-mocking smile appeared on Laura's face as she spoke, "I am pretty pathetic, aren't I?"

"You are simple-minded and stupid." Yrellea's cold words rained down on Laura's ears, "But… you are also admirable for going out and looking for a cure for your younger brother. So hold your head high. You are free from that prison, you have another chance to look for that legendary herb. I am sure that all your followers wanted your little brother to recover as well. That was why they sneaked out of the Elf Kingdom with you."

Laura's eyes began to well up with tears almost instantly. When she heard Yrellea's remarks, she became overcome with emotion and drew very close to her, weeping hysterically.

"Thank you. Thank you. I have been thinking of them all this time, feeling so guilty. Your words helped me more than I could imagine." Laura sincerely spoke.

"I can say the same to you. Also, thanks for the food." Yrellea spoke while taking another bite of an apple.

"Hehe. It's nothing. Just leave the gathering of food and water to me. You just rest here, elder sister." Laura spoke with a cheerful expression.

"Hmm. Oka- wait. What? What did you call me?!" Yrellea was stunned to hear Laura's words.

"Hmm? I said I will take care of the food and water." Laura was slightly confused and repeated her words from before.

"No. What did you say after this?" Yrellea spoke somewhat anxiously.

"Elder sister?" Laura asked while raising her eyebrow.

"Yes. Why are you calling me an elder sister?" Yrellea asked with a confused expression.

"You look a little older and also more knowledgeable than me. I figured it would be best if I referred you as elder sister." Laura replied in a relaxed manner.

Yrellea's expression turned slightly red as she was quite embarrassed to be called an elder sister by Laura. But no matter how hard she tried to deny it, she did like being called an elder sister by Laura.

And this was how a succubus and an Elf Princess turned into sisters.

If anyone from the world heard of such a story, they would probably think of it as a bard's tale or just utter nonsense.

But this had happened! And it would lead to terrifying consequences in the future.
