Animals were happy on both sides. Winston has a simple plan, to replace all the humans with animals. And that's how he will have their loyalties.

But people who were in power didn't like what Winston did. Of course, how do they like someone snatching away their power every day a little? But not everyone was threatened with his ambition. Because still the arrogant demons, drunk with the power for years, how could they believe that Winston would ever be able to come to their throat someday?

But in truth Winston has already reached there. He has already placed his fingers around their neck waiting for the right time to grab them by their necks.

On the other side of the border in the Qeorin dynasty. Star city, which shares the border with Warrington city, has a demon named Mongrel. He was kind of impatient and insecure. He was very angry with Winston for taking so many men from his city.

His heart was burning with a desire for revenge. Inside his palace, he was walking left and right inside his chamber. He was murmuring something with anger. Over time with the power you developed an ego, where you felt how can he? How can someone stand in front of him? You became more and more touchy. With the slightest touch, you react like someone put a sword in you.

Particularly when you got power in inheritance. His father who used to be a demon of the city recently decided to give up his feather. And he gave it to his son Mongrel.

His father has acquired a lot of wealth in his time, they have an immense amount of nectar, toxic and encryptions from across the dynasties. So he got most of the things that others have to work so hard for almost free.

Which makes him a little insecure about his position. That's the thing right when you feel you don't deserve it, and also people around you have the same feeling about you. You get this desire for proving your worth somehow.

Mongrel was going through that sort of thing, he somehow wanted to see respect in everyone's eyes. What Winston did was pour oil into the fire. His ego was hurt. How can Winston take something below his nose? He felt disrespected by Winston's act.

So Mongrel was inside his chamber, burning with shame. A man enters the room. He was around his father's age. He entered inside with haste, he was looking worried about something.

"My lord, you asked for me?", he said, as he entered the chamber and stood in front of Mongrel.

Mongrel stopped in front of him, his face was red with anger, and also turned pale with worry.

"Do you have any idea what's happening in our city?" he shouted with anger. His spit flew on the man's face while he said it.

The man couldn't say anything but keep silent inside his mind. He was waiting for Mongrel to turn so he could clean a dew of his spit from his face. But Mongrel didn't turn, instead, he came even closer.

"Yes, my lord", the man said, with fear, as he seemed more afraid of Mongrel spit than Mongrel himself.

"Then what are you doing about it?"Mongrel shouted again, spitting even more.

The man almost felt it unbearable but he didn't say anything. Sometimes you have to agree with an idiot just to avoid him.

" What can we, my lord? How can we fight united animals now?", he said, while cleaning his face. As for a few moments, Mongrel turns his face to the other side.

"Kill them all. Kill them all. Kill every one of them who thinks that they can stand in front of me and join eyes with me". Mongrel shouted with anger.

" send our army to the forest, and bring those filthy animals", he continued.

"Yes, my lord. Whatever you say", the man said with relief and started going out of the chamber.

Silvia has heard about Winston. She heard that he had made a deal with the devil. She also stops going to the jungle to hunt now. These days everyone is afraid to go to the forest.

Silvia was in her room, looking out from her gallery. She was thinking about what Winston said to her. She started to think that he was right. But she was too proud to accept it.

She was missing Winston, he was the person that she has trusted after so long. After so long in her heart, something has happened. She felt the feeling she used to think that she didn't have.

She remembered her dream from last night. In her dream, Winston has come back. Come back from the forest for her. She ran towards him as she saw him, and hugged him tightly.

So tight that there is no place left between them. Even the air can't be passed through them. Her breath became just like last night when she was watching that dream. Her heart was pounding with her heavy breath. Up and down.

She blushed with her memories, and unknowingly her hand started touching her own body. After a long time, she has been feeling this sensual pleasure. And she is liking it.

Suddenly, she heard a voice and she came back to her senses. It was Madonna, she entered the room.

"Hey", Madonna said.

" Heyy"

"I want to talk to you about something", Madonna said while getting closer to Silvia.

"Yes, of course, about what?", Silvia said, trying to look normal and hiding her expressions behind her pretending face.

"About Winston", Madonna said in a peaceful voice.

Silvia didn't say anything but turned her back, again to look outside through the gallery.

"I understand if you want to go", she said without looking at her.

"We all think we should meet him", Madonna said standing in her place.

Silvia inside dying to meet Winston, a very light smile spread on her. She took a heavy breath and said while turning towards Madonna,

"I think we should. We all will find hope there".

Both keep looking at each other for a few more seconds with very thin smiles on their faces.

Inside the jungle, Winston was sitting on a stone. Thinking. He was on a hillside from where he can see the wide forest spread across their territory and Mongrel's territory.

Moon was about to set in the sky and the birds were chirping on the trees, walking and here and there looking for a place to spend their night, without getting hunted in the night.

Winston knows that this silence won't last for long. Mongrel and Lanark will come for him one day or another. And he is not powerful enough yet to fight any of them. They have far more powerful feathers than his.

He needs more power, and the way things are going is not enough. He needs to find some other way of acquiring more power and that is even, soon.

His vision has become so clear now. The biggest perk of being a demon is you see beyond the physical illusion. Like normal people and animals, they still see the physical self as themselves.

But Winston sees them as a soul. He sees them as energy. The truth is for powerful people only, not everyone can handle it. Most of them choose to stay in the illusion fearing what truth might hold for them.

Being a demon means getting closer to the truth of power. Closer to the source of everything. It's about accepting life the way it is in hell. It's only survival of the fittest, there is no other rule. Powerful deserve to rule and the weak deserve to serve them, this is the only rule here, and you can be powerful only by embracing it, there is no other way around.
