Jennifer was giving it her all, but found herself constantly surprised by Lucas's unexpected basketball skills. He handled the ball with surprising grace, making shots that had her questioning how much secret practice he'd been getting.
Jack stood at the sideline, recording their game on Lucas's phone. After they finished, Lucas grabbed his phone with a quick thanks and uploaded the clip to Twit...

The moment I stepped off the airship onto Horn Airport's tarmac, I took a deep breath. Two weeks away had made me appreciate the demon realm's familiar air.
My contentment contrasted sharply with the Harry Potter cast members' obvious discomfort. Their unease was understandable - for most, this was their first time setting foot in demon territory.
"Demons don't bite," I joked, but Abigail and the other child actors only looked more frightened.
My smile...

I'm stuck playing this ridiculous football game, but if it gets Arthur to train me in martial arts, I'll endure it.
The practice wasn't particularly strenuous - not compared to my training at the Royal Academy under Sir Horton. But Arthur clearly surpassed even Sir Horton's combat skills, which explained my parents' insistence on securing him as my instructor.
I gave the game my all, knowing Arthur wouldn't even consider training me otherwise. But t...

I tailed Arthur through the streets, trying to stay undetected. When he suddenly stopped walking, my breath caught.
"I've been aware of you following me for quite some time now," Arthur announced, his voice carrying easily to my hiding spot. "Your attempt at stealth needs work."
Of course he spotted me! What else should I expect from someone who took me down with a single strike?
Caught out, I had no choice but to reveal myself.

I'm not gonna lie, at first, before Arthur healed my father, I was terrified of him - after all, he is a demon. Even after seeing him heal my father, which I'm so grateful for, I still felt scared around him. Everything he did just made me more curious and nervous about what else he could do.
To me, Arthur was this mysterious demon who completely went against his reputation. Everyone said he was incompetent, but that couldn't be further from the truth.
