She smiled because she still remembered me, because she was calling me, she was looking for me.'Maybe' I whispered to myself 'maybe if I just fall asleep and don’t wake up anymore... I can stay here, I can... stay with her'.That thought had arisen on any given day and with the same speed it had arisen in my mind, I tried to get him to move away, but... now it was kind of inevitable. 'Dad would be sad' - I remembered as I stood up.Dad would be sad, but... at least it wouldn’t be more painful.Abbadon would be sad, but I wouldn’t have to smile anymore.'So Uncle Asmodeus...' he would understand.I sighed and the blond-haired woman stared at me."Oh! You’re here... I was looking for you" she said as she sat next to me "what was it? You look down."'I’m going to die..., but I feel scared' I thought to say, but her smile was so broad

♱ •⋅ 1750 B.C. ⋅• ♱ •⋅ Samael ⋅• ♱"He’s dying," Callisto said for the thousandth time and I felt like blowing his brains out."I heard, the fact that I did not answer is because I waited for you TO LEAVE" I spoke bluntly and tidied up my posture as I felt my bones crack. It was uncomfortable to work there, especially when an idiot made a point of HINDERING."What will you do? I already gave you what you asked for and yet "he wouldn’t shut up and I knew I was desperate, but that didn’t make me care."Shut the fuck up" I mumbled sliding one hand through my hair "you fucked up when you decided things without talking to the saint or the duchess and now you want to rush me? Do you know how much I had to TRY for Asra to let me TOUCH the saint? His luck is that that brilliant thing that should be obedient to my father, is interesting and apparently wants to save his son.""What?" he seemed astonished."Ah... I don’t want to explain" grumbled "so go away, you being here only delays the treat

♱ •⋅ 1750 B.C. ⋅• ♱ •⋅ Elaine ⋅• ♱"What do you think?" I asked and Keir seemed to change the weight of the body from one foot to the other as he thought."Do we... have other options?" she asked as if she was about to laugh, but it was obvious she didn’t see the fun in that."We always have other options" I said shrugging and the redhead sighed."We’re not gonna live with mortals, we both know how it’s gonna end. Persecution and... there’s that thing that’s gonna keep coming after you. It would be stupidity, an oversized stupidity and I don’t intend to act like that" she said as both crimson-fingered hands covered her face "why did Calisto have to be such an asshole? You know... sometimes I’d like to think of him as a prince charming" she grumbled and I knew it was more for herself than for me "but no, that idiot is more for cursed frog."A sniggering laugh escaped through my lips. A laugh I couldn’t help because after reading all those death tales - I agreed in parts. Callisto was l

♱ •⋅ 1750 B.C. ⋅• ♱5 days were needed for the whole kingdom to know: Asra was no longer the emperor’s concubine and what happened at the ball was just a way to make this clear to everyone.With this in mind, it was not difficult for them to accept after seeing the duchess’s carriage leaving the emerald palace."I’m glad you accepted my proposal," Samael said with his legs crossed as he stared at both of us.I sighed."It was you or the street and as much as I like the ghetto... I don’t intend to take Elaine there" I muttered with my arms crossed over her chest."Oh, heavens, how fierce" he mocked and his eyes sparkled in the darkness - how can you handle her, saint?Elaine smiled at me."Honey, why don’t you try to be friendlier?""Are you really asking this of me?" The fallen seemed to have fun with that conversation and situation "it was the duchess who despised me even after I offered to find a home for you; you know... I gave a gift, a beautiful gift and she still treats me like

I asked as I pierced an eyeball with the tip of my nail "hmm?"The fallen one sighed."He ordered me to have the duchess killed," he replied in a low voice, as it should be.I smiled and my eyes looked for Azrael’s face among the darkness of my room."And what have you done, Azrael?"His lips frown and I could see his shoulders curl."I... started planning a way to...""No" I interrupted "you did NOTHING" my hand hit everything on the table, on the globe that bursts on impact "I told you to KILL the fucking duchess and you, dear..." I sighed as I stood up "you did NOTHING Azrael, you kept smiling and walking around next to that thing that calls itself the king

Cali walked in slowly, I would even dare to say cautious because of her steps "need something, miss? Food? Water? More covered?" It was practically glued to the door, a door that was carmine throughout its length, but contained gilded carvings on the edges, carvings that resembled light waves."It won’t be necessary" I sighed "maybe...I just need company right now" I couldn’t help but admit, which made the purple-eyed approach."So, I hope my company is to your liking" he smiled, thus sitting in an armchair that was nearby "what do you want to talk about? Do you have a subject that is of interest to you?" tried to adjust your posture slightly, even if it was completely clumsy."Well..." I found myself thinking, I found myself thinking about starting to wonder if I really wanted to get into that me

I knew that Azrael would not care and also knew that those roles would never reach Callisto; this left me partially pissed, after all during the time I spent as a concubine, especially in the time I was with Elaine, I dedicated nights to improving the economic situation of the kingdom - which affected humans who depended on resources to survive more than any other being.In the end, that wasn’t something that mattered to them.First, because Callisto would probably refuse to accept something of mine, even if it was something professional - just as he had avoided me during the time I was with Elaine waiting to leave the palace.Second: because Azrael had not taken care of those matters before, then why would this change after only a few actions of mine?And third: because that w

If you keep looking at me like that, I’m gonna think you don’t like my presence.I opened my mouth to confirm that assumption, but I chose not to."Just... I thought it was too early for you to be here," I lied and apparently that wasn’t one of my best lies, as he just smiled as he drank his tea."Early? We have a lot to study, especially if we want the child to experience one of my theses before dying."I swallowed it hard."Is he... very ill?"Samael laughed quietly."Does it really matter to you?"'No' I realized as I pressed the skirt of my dress between my fingers.My concern for Loren... was mini

♱ •⋅ 1750 B.C ⋅• ♱ •⋅ Azrael ⋅• ♱I watched her without realizing it, watched until the sun was setting and the barrier surrounding Samael’s plan was thinner, until the rune fragment she sent me was strong enough to enter."Don’t be an idiot," I remembered as my wings throbbed, "there’s no room for kindness, not after all you’ve done, don’t be such a hypocrite".I swallowed hard and a smile easily appeared on my lips when I crossed. It was like a fog touching my skin, a comfortable cold, a feeling I had missed even without realizing it.What the hell was I thinking? What was going on with me?I closed my eyes tightly, but my wings just beat, just took me there, to that breathless breath and that smile that could be felt in her voice when she called me."Azrael!" His arms wrapped around my neck and... had they always been so warm?"I thought you couldn’t come..." whispered her face down to my neck, I could feel her lips arched into a smile "okay? Did you get hurt getting past the barri

♱ •⋅ 1750 B.C. ⋅• ♱ •⋅ Azrael ⋅• ♱The child began to be able to move gradually, in a way that was still a little time consuming and different from his usual, from the child who ran around and insisted so much to have his little body in that garden.His speech had returned too, his voice was less guttural, more understandable and a smile that was not painful could be seen, one that was not put on that face just because of the melancholy of Callisto."Look! You can move your arms better now" the quartz eyes were flickering as you said that as something equivalent to Loren’s first steps, as if that was some kind of novelty that should be celebrated with various gifts and a party "how is your breathing? Something still burns?" tried to caress that small face as if it was something that would break by any slip on his part.Loren was now like a valuable piece of porcelain, one that could not risk being damaged after being restored."I’m fine, Dad..." the child’s voice was still low when to

I like purple, I like how the sun in this world is red, even though here where Samael lives he looks different."Keir smiled, his hands still playing by my hair."What else?" asked me with her face resting on my thighs."I like salty foods, slightly spicy, bittersweet and especially the dessert that the boss of the mansion always makes." The one that looks like jelly with syrup."Pudding? ' She asked me smiling from the corner and I nodded."That’s right, pudding.""Um, um, uh...""I also like pretty dresses, braided hair, flat shoes, delicate swords..." I continued to list "I like hardcover books and slow songs.""And old scrolls? You live surrounded by them" Keir joked, his lips arched in a mischievous smile that made my heart beat."Silly" I hit with my fingertips on his nose."I know, I know" gave up "continue... what els

I naturally believed."How can you not like it here?" I asked as I stared at that landscape, the sky, the grass that resembled a red foliage. The stars that always shone in the sky almost always cloudy.Calisto snorted."I don’t know..." he said sincerely "maybe... I just can’t see the beauty of hell when I didn’t have you by my side."A twinge struck my chest, a twinge of happiness and hope."Fool" I mocked wrapping my arms around his neck.I loved that being.He loved his color-changing eyes, loved his foolish way of thinking that the world was more beautiful outside of hell. He loved the way the rebellious waves of black hair he had struggled to unravel around his delicate face.I loved the

I heard myself ask, Loren’s sleeping face was so pale I had to put my fingers close to her nostrils to make sure he was still alive."Samael is good" he said hoping to console me, but it didn’t work.How would it work?"Then why haven’t we heard from you?" I practically growled, my hands closed in fists, tears burning in my eyes "I sent letters and more letters... I... I did everything I could... I DEMANDED answers a

I kept repeating, as if somehow that was a stupid mantra - strong enough to make everything work; but nothing could be easy when it was for me, right?Nothing worked as it should.I bit my mouth hard, the fangs thrust into my lip until a sliver of blood came down my chin.I couldn’t see her, I couldn’t be with her or protect her. I couldn’t go to her even though time was passing and yet, the least I was a

A soft, almost nonexistent touch that my father should be questioning if it was real.He was sad, wasn’t he? Abbadon should also be, but after I started sleeping more than 17 hours a day, she was no longer there, just Dad.A version of Dad who stared at me with a red face from crying."Do you want to hear a story?" He asked me with a broken voice and I forced myself to smile, forced my face to

Maybe it was the result of years on the battlefield, but I knew when I wasn’t able to win a war, so I sighed winning "but since you’re here..." I muttered indicating with one hand to the armchairs - sit down."Where will you start?" Asra questioned, the red hair falling with perfectly braided waves on her back, the sharp eyes staring at me and looking for any sign of flickering in my attitudes or decisions."I’ve been thinking about tears..." I said remembering Quinn, the way he had acted.Since that day, the bastard did not even give me a mere sign of life and Callisto’
