When it was all over, Sam and Shandra, naked and panting, looked up at the starry sky - or at least part of it, since the trees almost completely blocked their view. Both were sweaty, but infinitely happy.

Interlacing the human's fingers in his own, the demon says:

"Are you all right?"

The whispering voice of Shandra, who is still trying to process what just happened, says:

"I am. I'm more than okay... I..."

She can barely find the words.

A proud chuckle sounds from Sam's lips.

"Look at the lake."

The once calm, crystal clear waters of blue hue were now glowing in violet. As if in response, the locket that the young girl never took off her neck also glowed.

The girl watched as Sam's own eyes glowed for a tiny fraction of a second in the same color. Then he says:

"That is my proof of love to you."

Shandra's heart soars with surprise and wonder as she witnesses the magical manifestation of Sam's love. The girl gazes into the violet lake, fascinated by the radiant beauty that reflects th

    They no longer walked on the main trails.Instead, they circled the entire known territory, purposely avoiding passersby, merchants, customers, and every other kind of creature that made such a trek to Tenebris.Although the mountain range was home to one of the largest market underworlds, to many, it was just a marketplace with a wide variety of products. Only the right people entered the right places.As if in a slow procession, Shandra, the demons and the two werewolves walked at a slow pace. Not because they were not in a hurry, but to avoid stumbling with the main crowd that would surely be arriving at that moment.Julian had sniffed Shandra twice the night before, but said nothing. He probably already knew about her physical union with Sam, and until then, had given no opinion.When they got up camp, the young woman went to drink water at the spring of the river, taking the opportunity to take a bath. As she was wetting her long hair, which now went down to her waist, she heard

    "What?""What was what you didn't understand?""You... He... You two-," Julian can barely articulate his own sentence."We're boyfriend and girlfriend. He asked me yesterday, and I accepted."The demon's citrine-colored eyes are glassy:"Please tell me this is a joke.""I am terribly serious. And by the way, why all the shock? You know that you and I are becoming romantically involved.""Yes, but... But not like this.""In what way, then?""I don't know, but I know you can't do that."Shandra totally loses her patience:"Look, we've already done it, okay? Now, please, let's end this conversation."Julian is stunned by Shandra's response, his face revealing a mixture of shock, sadness and despair. He tries to find the right words to express his concern, but seems unable to formulate a coherent response."Shandra, you don't understand. This goes against everything we know, against the laws and traditions of the kingdoms. It's not just a matter of morality, it's a matter of grave consequ

    Shandra's magic sparked in response to the bang, making her skin prickle and tingle terribly. Julian, almost immediately, entered his demonic form. The girl, after getting dressed, followed the man in the direction of the noise.The two of them ran to a part of the forest closer to the road, almost tripping over the branches and leaves. Caleb and Ezan soon joined them to see what the commotion was all about."What's going on?!" asked Caleb. He sniffed the air.A little way away from them, far ahead, is Sam.He is in demonic form, looking up. His black wings seem ready to take off at any moment.Inside a cloud of fire so hot that it shone like a beacon in the dark night, was one of the most terrifying images Shandra had ever seen. Beside the young woman, Julian, although he kept walking until he was next to Sam, hesitated for a second.The werewolves stayed behind, along with Shandra. That would never leave her dreams.If they were witnessing something out of a technological story, tho

    Shandra feels a shiver run down her spine as she hears the hooded figure's threatening words. Her eyes narrow, her resolve strengthens."Don't you dare touch a hair on her head," Sam replies, his voice brimming with confidence. "If you dare to hurt her, I swear there will be no safe place for you in this world."The hooded figure in the middle laughs, a sound that echoes through the air and gives chills."You are brave, boy. But you underestimate the power of the Circle of Hell. You underestimate the power we hold not only in our hands, but in our minds and in our laws. We are unstoppable."The third figure says, louder:"You are the girl the Guardians insist on protecting. But you hide like a damned coward. Leave your dogs behind and face us head on."The simultaneous growls beside her startle the young girl as she realizes, alarmed, that the two werewolves are in lupine form, and not at all happy about the insult."The magic once again begins to pinch. Growling, the girl begins to w

    The three heads of the monstrous dog rise, their sharp fangs gleaming in the light of the flames. A menacing growl escapes from their throats, echoing throughout the area. Shandra feels a chill run down her spine at the terrifying sight before her.As she watches the three-headed dog with fear, she realizes that the hooded figures of the Inferno Circle have simply vanished, as if they had never existed."What is this?" Shandra murmurs, unable to look away from the colossal creature in front of her.Sam and Julian also recover from the initial impact and stand beside Shandra, ready to protect her. The trio forms a defensive line, facing the combined threat of the Three-Headed Dog."Damn," Sam mutters. "Shandra, retreat as far as you can!"Before the girl can say anything, Sam goes straight to the huge canine monster and begins shouting at it in a sinister language. Amidst the chaos, the girl realizes it was the same language he and Julian were speaking months ago. It must be the demoni

    Her breath was hard.Her lungs struggled to get air in, but failed miserably. Sweat bathed her skin, and terrible trembling took over her arms and legs.Knowing that Sam was also like this was almost as painful as the exhaustion itself.Shandra was sure that she was dosing her magic well. How did it end so quickly? Could it be that by using the sword as a conductor, the energy use was much higher?Panicked, the girl felt a cold breeze touch her face. A translucent blue hand caressed her cheek... a Guardian.As she blinked, the being simply disappeared. Gradually, the young woman felt the magic returning to her body. Her mana reserve was slowly becoming full.Then... this was it. She was being directly helped by them.Julian was at Shandra's side in an instant."It's the exhaustion, isn't it? Stay calm, I'll talk to the werewolves to ask if they can help you.""I'm fine," Shandra whispers, feeling the vitality slowly creeping further into her veins."Please don't say anything." He turn

    They spent the entire evening discussing what they would do, how they would do it, and what excuses they would use when the consequences of their supposed actions finally came.Shandra was totally confident. Sam, hopeful and proud of the girl's dynamic and sharp intelligence. The wolves just nodded, not even trying to interfere. After all, she was the Beacon of Light, and in a matter of hierarchy, everything she said should be obeyed and taken as the total truth.But Julian, while admitting that yes, it could work, was totally afraid. It was obvious that the ruby-haired demon expected the worst."I'm sure there are still remnants of your old army," Shandra says, looking directly at Sam. "None of them could interfere again? Make a little mess, something to distract them temporarily?""They're smart, but they won't make a move without my permission," the coppery-eyed demon replies. "It wouldn't be that simple. Besides, I bet that after my exile, many of them were hunted down or killed."

    The group is silent for a few moments, absorbing Julian's words.Shandra looks to Sam for some confirmation or clarification, but he keeps his gaze low, seeming lost in his own thoughts. In fact, the small pulsing vein at his temple also indicated tension... or hatred."You directly defied the Circle?", Shandra repeats, trying to understand the gravity of the situation. "That is something extremely risky. What happened next?"Julian: lets out a heavy sigh before answering."I'm not sure. I was there when she confronted one of the Circle members, a powerful demon named Azazel.""Was he one of the three we saw earlier?""No. But that's no less worse... All, I said all of the Circle members are absolutely fearsome."The redhead scratches his chin before continuing the story:"She was determined to free herself and me. She said she didn't think it was fair the way they were treating me, especially that I was, by right, the only one entitled to the succession to the throne. But... things g

    The final walk along the last trail that would lead them to the Tenebris Mountains was much more tense and silent than Shandra had imagined it would be.Nervous, the girl was paying attention to the vegetation around her; the way the trees and plants looked now that she knew they were all interconnected with Gaia.And speaking of Gaia, the entity's words still rang in her ear constantly. She takes a deep breath as she gropes around in her pocket for the strange artifact she had been given as a gift.Would she need to use it that day?Sam's voice sounded in her mind:"Disturbed?"Shanda looks discreetly at him before answering mentally as well:"Evidently so. Don't you?"His fire-colored eyes, always so confident, were somewhat misty that morning. A few seconds later, he finally replies:"I'm more than disturbed. I'm terrified."The heartfelt answer takes the girl by surprise. He continues:"At some point, Shandra, everything... Everything will come to light. The fact that we are inter

    Shandra was still absorbing the shock of Gaia's strange contact, as well as her sudden disappearance, when a low voice whispers behind her."Shandra."She turns around quickly. Julian is standing with a totally apathetic expression on his face."Did you see it?", she whispers.The redhead nods his head in confirmation."Was it an important errand?"Shandra bites her lip, thoughtful about what to say about Gaia's words. She decides to be subtle and direct:"Yes."Julian waits for the explanation, but the girl just holds the jewel tighter and starts walking back to the camp."Wait a minute."She stops. The demon approaches again and asks:"What's going on? Are you okay?""I am.""You don't know how to lie very well, you know that?"Shandra snorts."I just don't want to talk about it."Julian looks at the girl's closed hand and stares at her as if he is about to question her about it."Please, please, don't ask me questions," she pleads.Genuine anguish takes over his expression."Let me

    Shandra knew she was awake.Therefore, what was in front of her could not be a dream. Considering all the stress she had been under in the past weeks, however, she thought she was suffering from a delirium.Everyone else was asleep, except, of course, the demons. Although they felt no sleep, both Sam and Julian liked to lie down, close their eyes and apparently rest. Caleb and Ezan are also immersed in a deep sleep.The girl keeps looking at what at first she thought was just a trick of light and shadow: the thin, unusual silhouette that strolled by as if it were a mere traveler.However, the energy of that silhouette, the way it moved... This was certainly no ordinary person. Then Shandra stood up to take a closer look.The person, creature or whatever it was didn't seem to be intimidated by being noticed. Its skin was transparent, almost ghostly, and a subtle blue light radiated from it.Strangely enough, Shandra did not fear it. No, there was nothing aggressive or strange coming fr

    Shandra feels her heart resounding inside her chest. A small shiver runs down her arms as she slowly takes a step towards the final trail; the one they would make before finally arriving in enemy territory.Everything could end well: Eluna would be rescued, and everyone could return to their respective homes.Or...She imagines the bodies of Sam, Julian, Ezan and Caleb lying on the ground like a sack of potatoes; their throats slit. Was cutting throats an easy method of execution for supernatural creatures?Shandra knew that killing a demon was too difficult a thing to do, so she doubted it very much. Werewolves, on the other hand, seemed weaker in that respect."Let's walk some more and get camp up," says Julian, who until then had been completely silent and immersed in his own thoughts.Shandra nods, trying to push away the dark misfortunes troubling her, but it is incredibly difficult. She knows she cannot let fear take over. Together, the group continues to advance along the narro

    Shandra knew that she would never, ever be able to fully recover from this.As the small group headed towards the mountain range, the young woman barely opened her mouth to say anything and ate only what was necessary. The magic was dormant, still ready to spring into action, but she deliberately ignored the feeling.Looking up at the pale dawn sky, Shandra huffed audibly. It was very soon before they finally put the plan into action. There was still no word from Marcus and his group.Not that she didn't trust the abilities and strength of the pack. They could take good care of themselves.But would she, Julian, Sam, Caleb and Ezan be able to single-handedly accomplish a mission of that magnitude and not get screwed in the process?"It's going to be okay," Sam's voice breaks into her dark thoughts.Annoyed, the girl looks at him, and mentally communicates as well:"Are you reading my thoughts?""I don't need to. Your expression already says it all."Irritated, Shandra just keeps walki

    As soon as Caleb's huge sharp teeth dig into Elara's unprotected torso, the vampire screams terribly in agony. The bite causes her a stabbing pain.Elara lets out another scream when, after having her skin torn apart by the wolf, her body is thrown backwards by the impact of this attack... Julian also approaches quickly, taking the opportunity to strike a powerful blow against Elara, hitting her full on.Sam once again looks at Shandra, obviously proud to see what had happened there. Ezan, Caleb and the yellow-eyed demon continue to attack relentlessly; Shandra stays focused on her task of neutralizing the vampire's artifacts. With the items weakened, Elara is no longer invincible, but still poses a danger.Sweating, the young woman realizes that she needs to keep her own energy connected to Elara's items. There was no way, or at least no easy way, to permanently deactivate them.Although she was obviously weaker, Elara was not vulnerable. Even though she is suspicious as to why her t

    Shandra feels a mixture of relief and gratitude when, finally, Julian takes flight and attacks Elara, holding her by the neck and throwing her to the ground sharply."You really think you can take me, you pathetic demon?" she sneers, probably ready to use one of her many artifacts.And that is exactly what she does. One moment, Julian is strangling her without a shadow of mercy. The next, he is breathing hard, gasping like a smoker after climbing two flights of stairs.Sam, focused on destroying the vampire, casts more fire elemental magic energy, but at the last second the girl flinches, causing the flames to only burn the tip of her hair."You bastard!" she shouts, leaving Julian temporarily behind.Shandra quickly raises a shield to protect him, but the wall fails.Ezan's voice sounds behind the girl:"Beacon of Light!"She widens her eyes and addresses the older werewolf. The girl is surprised to see him in human form. Caleb, unlike him, remains as a wolf."Beacon of Light, we are

    Shandra panics as she sees the werewolves advancing towards Elara, ready to attack. She knows that a fight between the werewolves and the vampire can be extremely dangerous and doesn’t want anyone to get hurt. With a mixture of despair and determination, she stands in the way, trying to prevent impending violence."No!" cries Shandra, her voice full of anguish. " Stop! It’s not worth it! Elara is not our enemy!"Useless. Completely useless, you know.The beautiful girl, seeing the two angry wolves coming towards her, drops her cloak, revealing pale skin like the moon and slender, thin and seemingly fragile arms and legs. Immediately Elara puts herself in a fighting posture, smiling as she feels the adrenaline taking over her body.Shandra can barely understand what happened when, out of nowhere, the vampire just disappears.But her energy was still there. Had she become invisible?The impact of a sharp blow to Ezan’s jaw, which makes him fly for a few meters, frightens the girl and gi

    Shandra, Sam, Julian and the other members of the group stand on alert, watching for the approaching silhouette. Tension hangs in the air as everyone prepares for any eventuality.As the figure approaches, it becomes clear that it is a tall, elegant woman with long black hair and a piercing gaze. She seems to exude an aura of power and authority."Elara," Sam murmurs, with a mixture of surprise and apprehension in her voice.Shandra frowns from one to the other, wondering what could be happening, but doesn't have time to verbalize a single word.The werewolves transform into their lupine form and start growling loudly and menacingly. Elara doesn't seem to be upset or afraid of that sight."Interesting company you have arranged," are the first words she addresses to the coppery-eyed demon."Is that really serious?", Julian grumbles."Who are you?" asks Shandra.The questioning makes the woman laugh."Aren't you going to introduce me to your friends, Sam?"The prince from hell looks hes
