I stopped walking when the feather that our mortal enemy gave me stopped floating, I looked in front of me and saw the small house standing next to the dead tree. The surroundings are dark even though the sun is still shining, the atmosphere in this place is strange, the surroundings are cold even though there is no wind, the surroundings seem dead even though on the other side of it the plants are alive and well. The feather took me to the top of a mountain, I walked for more than a day just to get here in front of a small house.

I took a deep breath and knocked on the wooden door.

"Avila." I called but no one answered. I knocked again and this time it was loud, the door suddenly opened and the man who caused Avila to be severely punished spat out.

"Who are you?" He immediately asked, I watched his face.

"Castiel, Who is that?" I looked at the speaker next to him and smiled when I saw Avila.

"Avila." I called and was about to approach her, when Castiel blocked in front of her.

    Avila POVI stopped walking for a moment and stepped back a little to take a look at father's room, my forehead wrinkled when I saw a man, he was old and he was talking to Zagreus. What is this person talking to our brother?I just shook my head when I realized that this person made an agreement with my brother, people after all.A few days passed, it's my one hundredth birthday today and I'm happy because I can go to the world of human. Every birthday I go to the world of human to mingle with them.I went to father's room to say goodbye when I realized he wasn't there."Where is father?" I asked Alada who was sitting next to mother who was sleeping."With Zagreus." It answered then looked at me. "By the way, take that girl to the empty room," she said and then pointed to the side of father's room. I frowned when I saw an unconscious woman lying there.I approached it and smelled it."Why is she here?" I asked, I looked again at Alada who was busy fixing her nails."Compensation in ag

    "Prince Pavel, come in here. It's already night!" Pavel turned to the old man standing at the gate."Just wait, maybe Ksara will come, I'll wait for her first." I heard Pavel say. Gabriel put his hand on his head."You've been here for a while, you might catch cold. You wait inside here!" Gabriel said so I turned my gaze to Pavel who turned his gaze back to the road."Later, I'm still waiting for Ksara." My chest seemed to tingle at the tone of Pavel's voice, I could see from where I was standing that he was tired and bitten by mosquitoes.Does he do that thing every day? Has he been waiting for my arrival every day since I left?I took a deep breath and closed my eyes, this is not the right time for me to return to you Pavel.I opened my eyes and saw Pavel again sitting in front of Gabriel's house and playing with stones."I'll be back, when I've fixed the mess." I whispered to myself and smiled. I was holding the bracelet that Pavel gave me. "You will be king, that's a promise." Wh

    Long curly horns, long and sharp black claws, large red wings, a long black tail divided into three and pointed at each end, black eyes, pointed ears, lion-like feet, and long white hair moving spontaneously. That's what Cynrad sees now.I turned around and took a deep breath, even with my back turned I could smell the fear running through his soul. I closed my eyes to stop myself from yearning for his soul. I can't hurt Cynrad, he's Pavel's friend and part of my past.I have to be patient."This is the reason Cynrad." My voice seemed to be the melody of death, far from my voice every time I merged with my human body."I understand if you are afraid of me, you can leave again." I said looking at him, he was surprised by my sudden stare."But I beg you, don't let Pavel know my true identity. Let it remain a secret between the two of us." I said, he didn't say a word because it looks like what happened hasn't entered his brain yet. Any person would be scared if they encountered a demon.

    I felt Cynrad's tight grip on me, he was afraid, I could feel it. And probably Area also feels the fear that my companion feels. "We have no intention of causing trouble." I said, Arae crawled towards me, I even looked up because of Arae's size, she smiled at me."Is that so? You're boring then." She says."I need your help." I said so her eyebrows rose, she suddenly burst out laughing and crawled to her throne surrounded by snakes with two heads."A demon seeks help from a queen of curses." She said laughing and then shaking her head with laughter. "Tell me black angel, have your demon powers weakened?" She laughed at the question. I bent my hand to hide."Others like me have nothing to do with the help I'm asking for." I said that made her face even more amazed."Really? That's why you have the courage to enter my place." She said and then laughed."What help are you going to ask me for?" She asked while playing with a large snake next to her."A curse covers the... place they cal

    I sat quietly waiting for Cynrad to wake up, it had been an hour since we returned to the human world. I took a deep breath and looked at the sky that sparkled with so many stars.I failed. I failed to talk to Arae, I failed to help Pavel."I shouldn't have fought her." I whispered to myself. I shook my head. I did the right thing, she thinks too highly of herself, it's not because she's a powerful creature that I won't let her down. I am still Ksara, one of the princesses of the underworld and holder of the fourth circle.I bowed down, blasphemous Arae. May she suffer in her cave.But what? What will I say to Pavel when we get back to them? I'm excited for him but I don't want to disappoint him. I didn't even do anything to lift the curse on Winsoul and make him king."I've become a burden." I whispered to myself and swallowed. I stared at the sky again. If only I could ask for help from above. But vaguely, I'm sure they'll just laugh at me and like Arae did, they'll probably look do

    My tears continued to flow as I hugged him, I cried while he was locked in my arms."Sorry, I failed." I whispered to him."Ksara, what are you talking about?" he asked confused, he was about to break away from the hug when I tightened it."Please, don't let go, I can't look at you because I have nothing good to tell you." I said, he was silent. "I can't even help you." I added while hugging him."Ksara." He called me softly. "Is it because of the curse?" he asked. I didn't answer. "Ksara, don't worry about that." He says. I remained silent."There's nothing we can do about that." He added. Inside I was shaking my head. I know, that I can do something to make that thing go away but I don't know what is the way to make it go away. The chance to help Arae and I was wasted, the only chance was wasted."Then Ksara, I don't want to be king anymore. It's enough for me to be a normal creature as long as I'm by your side." He said and then released from the hug. He turned to me and smiled, he

    "Really?!" Pavel and Bael asked at the same time, Abiah nodded to the two while smiling."Yes! We can go home!" Bael said happily and hugged Pavel."But how did the curse disappear?" Pavel asked the holy woman."You know, it doesn't matter what happened and how the curse was lifted. The important thing is that we can go home and bring grandpa with us and then you will be king!" Abiah said happily. Gabriel looked at my direction. My eyebrows just raised and then frowned, Cynrad looked at me the same way."Ksara, did you hear that? We can go home and the curse is gone!" Pavel happily told me then came to me and hugged me. I smiled as he hugged me."You will be king." I said with a smile, he let go of the hug and looked at me with a smile."I don't know how or what happened to make the curse disappear but as Abiah said, it doesn't matter anymore, because the important thing is that the curse is gone." Pavel said while looking at me, I laughed."Get your things ready, tomorrow we will tra

    "I will definitely eat meats and drink delicious drinks when I return to the palace!" Bael said happily as we walked in the middle of the forest back to Winsoul."As for me, I'll sleep and get a massage." Cynrad said between Pavel and Bael."As for me, I will introduce Ksara to my father and mother." Pavel said with a smile so I looked at him, Bael and Cynrad also looked at him."The king and queen know her, you don't need to introduce Ksara again." Bael said, Pavel shook his head."No, I'll introduce her as my date.""What?!" Bael and Abiah asked together. Cynrad looked at me and I raised my eyebrows."Courting? Pavel, do you like Ksara?" asked Lady Banal."Mm, I'm sure she heard me confess to her when the four of us drank, before I passed out I even heard her voice." He says. Gabriel and Abiah looked at me. I just walked quietly and did not participate in their conversation."It looks like Yuniko doesn't want you, another one Pavel. She's a Yuniko, you probably know that--""I don't

    It was late when I realized that he had a fever, if I hadn't noticed earlier that he was hot, I wouldn't have known that he was sick, I don't know what to do. I don't know how to take care of a sick person, what I used to care about as a demon was to give sickness, so I don't know how to take care of him now that he is sick.I want to go out and tell the old man that Pavel has a fever, the case is that they locked the door so I can't leave this room, old man."Pavel.. Pavel wake up and treat yourself." I said while waking him up, I closed my eyes and calmed myself down, my patience is short when it comes to nursing."Ksara, calm yourself down, it's normal for people to get sick." I said to myself then got up from my seat and went around Pavel's room to find a cure for his fever, I saw a towel in Pavel's clothes so I took it then went to his small table and put warm water in a small basin then I put the towel.That's how I see people treat a person's fever.When I put the small basin o

    A few days have passed since my body was buried, since then I have not seen Pavel come out of his room, and I have not seen the holy woman and Bael wandering around the palace like when we first set foot here together.A lot has changed, the palace seems to have become a ghost town because it's so quiet, the former queen and former king took a vacation out of town since my body was buried.I'm worried about Pavel, he hasn't eaten for days and his work as king has been piled up for days. He is neglecting the kingdom, he is neglecting himself, he is forgetting that he is a king now.I took a deep breath then looked at Cynrad sitting in front of me, he was eating the food he brought for us."Have you talked to him?" I asked, Cynrad looked at me then shook her head, she put down the food she was holding then wiped her lips."Grandfather Gabriel, he is the one who often goes to Pavel's room, he is also the one I think Pavel talks to." He said, I nodded then looked at the window of my room.

    The rain was strong, the sky matched the feelings of the people in front of me now and crying while looking at my human body that will be buried in just a few minutes.Until now, I can feel the sorrow felt by Abiah and Bael, especially Pavel, who does not leave the side of my human body. I took a deep breath then looked at Cynrad who was holding an umbrella and was giving me advice."It hurts me to see Pavel cry." I whispered, he looked at me then smiled gently."This is the second time I've seen him cry." Cynrad said that's why I looked at Pavel's behavior that was very distressed while looking at my human body."First the three of us thought you were dead." Cynrad said cause I remember that incident.From where I was standing, I saw Pavel and Cynrad facing my human body with flowers around it.I frowned.~~~~"What are those idiots doing?" I asked while looking at them."It seems like just yesterday that the four of us were happy." Bael said sadly while looking at my body."It happe

    "Yuniko! It's a good thing you're here now--who are you?" A man as tall as me, with long black hair that reached his shoulders, narrow eyes, a pointed nose and red lips opened my eyes.I grinned inside. This one, smart but has cheating parents, the only sin I smell in him is jealousy."Where's the old yuniko?" It's a question again."My name is Ksara, my cousin left and I took over as the new yuniko of the dear prince." I said, another man peeked out from behind him with narrow eyes, just the right length of hair and slightly bigger than us."You are a woman, shouldn't the yuniko of majesty is a man?" He asked the man in front of me, he looked at me. "Did you passed the screening of the beloved king and queen?" This is a question. I nodded in response, frowning."Its a miracle, they took a yuniko girl." He whispered, this one is stupid, but cunning in lying. I won't be surprised if I see it in my place when it's time."Alright, come in." Said a man as tall as me, the man behind him su

    I took a deep breath before continuing to walk closer to Pavel who turned his back on me and faced my slumped human body, with elegant flowers and fresh flowers on its side, the name Karma written on the left side. The room where Pavel chose to bury my human body was quiet, he was the only one there."Pavel," I called, but he didn't turn to me, I came next to him and looked at my body.Already wearing a white elegant dress and a flower crown on the head, I turned to Pavel who was just looking at my human body."What are you doing here?" He asked while looking at my human body, I didn't answer instead I wiped the tears from his eyes, he was stunned by what I did and turned to me, I just smiled softly then returned my gaze to my body person."I'm sorry for what happened to her," I said, he remained silent and I could still feel his gaze on me."It's not good if you neglect yourself," I said, I could still feel him staring at me."I'm sure Ksara will be sad if you act like that, she does

    "I've been waiting for her for a long time.""Now it looks like everything will happen again, it looks like I'll be looking for her again."The cold wind blew, the surroundings were quiet and only the water in the stream made noise around. I am now here in the creek, outside the kingdom of winsoul, this is where my feet brought me earlier, I came here to think about some things, to ventilate and to release the sadness I feel."I'm getting tired..."I am also very tired, Pavel.My tears flowed as I looked into the void, the cold wind blew again."I also want to rest."I also want to rest Pavel, I also want to rest in peace."I want to rest next to her.""I've been waiting for her for hundreds of years."For hundreds of years, I've been wishing to be with you Pavel, for hundreds of years I've been dreaming of being with you and living in peace."If only I could go back in time... if only I could go back to the past... I would never make a deal with the devil... I wouldn't have done that

    I took a deep breath before entering a large room where the remains of my human body were placed, the surroundings were quiet, no one was there, only my human body was here with some bodies of soldiers who had passed away.I looked at my companion, they were also staring at my body before they looked at me."Try again Ksara," the old man said, I nodded and then exited Siir's body, which Cynrad immediately caught when it lost consciousness, I again held my human body that was in front of me and focused to get inside, but just like what happened to me earlier, my body doesn't accept me.I looked at my two companions and then shook my head."I really don't understand," I whispered, the old man took a deep breath and then signaled that I had returned to Siir's body that's why I did it immediately, a while ago after what happened in the garden they brought me to Siir's room and they talked to me there, he asked if why am I here in Siir's body, something I explained to them.He immediately

    Because of Cynrad's scream, I had the strength to leave and get out of Siir's body, I quickly approached my body that was now being carried by Pavel while his face showed concern.I heard the queen scream and I saw that the former king had caught Siir's human body as I left there, I saw that they were supporting it and laying it on a long chair."Karma... Karma what happened?" Pavel asked while carrying my body, I sat next to him then smiled."I'm going back to my body." I said while smiling at Pavel who can't see me now, I touched my human body then focused and tried to enter my body, but a few minutes passed and my body didn't accept me, that's why I opened my eyes then looked at my body that was loaded with Pavel."Call the healers!" Pavel shouted, causing those around to panic even more."What's going on? w-why can't I go back to my body?" I asked then tried to return to my human body again but as before my body still did not accept me, immediately the nervousness flowed through m

    I was just staring at Alada's direction where she was only looking at Mira, I could see from where I was standing that Alada was shocked while looking at Mira's direction.Now we are in the vast garden to celebrate the new king of Winsoul. The queen and king are still next to me, we are standing in front while I can't see Pavel, I don't know where he is.Not far from where I was standing, Alada was also standing inside my body while Mira was standing next to the fountain."Siir, are you ready?" The queen asked so I turned to her, I nodded, because she said earlier that they will introduce me as Pavel's fiancé and next queen.I turned my gaze back to Alada's direction but she was no longer there, I took a deep breath and looked for Pavel, I couldn't find him since we headed here to Winsoul's garden.After a while I saw Pavel walking with Bael and Cynrad following behind him, I smiled while looking at Pavel who looked in my direction, but he immediately looked away causing the smile on
