My dog, it seemed, was another one of those monstrous creatures of the worst nightmares of an emotional writer. A dog the height of a mountain, with three angry heads on the black and hairy neck, with legs larger than two cars and a rabö that did not equal any size I could resemble. The amber eyes like those of a panther watched me, and the muzzle of the middle head sniffed, inspiring my smell. Whatever made sense, the huge teeth appeared in the three wide mouths, and Cerberus growled like a hungry creature, getting so close that I almost peed."Oh, no! No way! "I grumbled, trying to deviate from the immense language that stretched towards me, greater than any dimension of languages in the world. I managed to deviate from the first tongue, only to bump into the other one that extended and hit my whole body with a puff of putrid breath and dense saliva, as the three heads of the dogs nodded in consent as to my identity. Maybe they could see my soul shining like Vraxlon. I doubted very

I tried to undress, leaving the sneakers filthy on the polished white stone floor, and soon my intimate clothes also went to the floor before I let the water massage my body like wet and skillful fingers. I would not doubt that they were ghost fingers, considering that every joint in my body moaned with thanks.I took a liquid soap with the smell of musk and sandalwood that spread on my body with a fragrance that referred to cleanliness and freshness, and only stopped rubbing myself when all the dirt, sweat and drool had been a sad and distant memory.The camera was covered with white smoke when I finished the shower, and I got a little fright when I bothered to look in the mirror. But it wasn't my naked and rung-haired image that scared me. It was that, through the dense smoke of the hot bath, I saw in my reflection the unmistakable silhouette of a man. It was made by a darkness unlike anything I could have seen in my life, a purplish darkness, like an entire galaxy. No features, no

At that moment, missing a single row of chairs to sneak to the door, I stared at the man, and noticed that I did not feel so affected by knowing that he deserved it, that he was there for having been refused at the gates of paradise and having descended with a single passage to hell, where he would pay for his cruelty in life. I found myself thinking if there was no justice in any way.If the worst of punishments was not, ironically, a necessary good to punish those who thought they would never be caught. He had preferred death, chosen to take his own life so as not to have to rot in a prison. Not knowing that I already had a place dedicated to him in hell.What made me think that all that audience was a simple event to observe human despair. In fact, there were hooded creatures that gathered in a group in the chairs on the left, and that leaned from time to time as the sinner cried, as a kind of spiral smoke flew towards them, as if they were really being fed by that repentant soul.

"In fact, if history repeats itself..." said Vraxlon, with black eyes flickering in a feeling that I could not decipher. "So we can say that if you don't go to the oracle, he will find a way to attract you there, so that destiny is fulfilled.”"Why? What exactly is this Oracle?”"A creature older than all of us," said Faye, in a sad and cold tone of voice. "Who was arrested in purgatory after being expelled from paradise. It is she who creates and weaves human stories, and who may well have woven her human history together with the demonic soul as a way to prevent free will in her actions.”"Did I do something in some reincarnation so that she wanted to take revenge that way?”"I wouldn't say that she would be taking revenge... but that it would be a way to make sure to prevent celestial beings from crossing the path of someone like you, or, indirectly, of someone like Lilith. “Vraxlon’s lips contracted in a line. "The oracle is the second woman created by God, soon after Lilith, who

Faye punched the air, and also stood up. She observed that point on top of my back and made a deep bow, with her pink hair shaking."In the name of our friendship," she said full of emotion in her voice. "I promise to give my soul in exchange for yours if necessary, my queen.”I turned my gaze to Vraxlon, and he smiled briefly before getting up."For his protective spirit," he said, bowing to that shadow on my back. "May he be strong enough to prevent you from dying in this life, and if not, may my sword never fail to protect you.”A breeze of power caused my hair to shake gently at the ends, as if the magic was being sealed with the power of the two angels fallen before me, and that thing constantly on my way, in a promise of souls. It was inevitable for me to raise my chin, and the superb little smile that stretched my lips."As for the Royal Council," I spoke, crossing my hands in front of my body. “How can I contact them to urgently start all these visits?”"They are already waiti

The flames on the portals on my back went out, the trail of fire was extinguished, and breaths of careful breathing were trapped in the silent crowd when I realized what the simple act of sitting on the throne triggered around the castle, what it triggered by the remaining six corners of hell. For those who feared or plotted against their queen. I was back.Sitting there, in that dress, on that throne, inside that black stone room... It was as if the darkness leaked from me, as if the power was too strong to be contained by flames. And that primitive notion that the lesser demons had to bow, my companions "Faye and Vraxlon" also shared, for the moment they reached the altar, they bowed in deep bows, although Vraxlon continued to climb the steps, and Faye's hair was slightly messed up in his act of tilting his head to observe.I did not dare to cast another look in the direction of the prince-warrior as he went up, because I knew that even with my heads down, the attention of all the o

"There's something about it beyond that power. I don't like her. And I like it even less that she is part of my kingdom.”"Kyra is my infiltrator to know about the steps of her three counselors, Your Majesty. You agreed to her presence for more than five hundred years.”"I don't agree anymore. I don't agree with her so close to me. Get another "I insisted, massaging a spot on my chest that suddenly seemed sore. "There's something about it, Vraxlon. There's something wrong with her.”He seemed slightly upset, but finally nodded."As soon as she returns with the answers of the four remaining princes, I will dismiss her services and make arrangements to find someone at the height of the position.”"Thank you," I said, and turned around so that he wouldn't see how my throat oscillated with fear, there was something in that fire nymph. Something I urgently needed to find out before it was too late.“Faye seems to have found a way to entertain and have fun with each other,” Vraxlon commente

Vraxlon finally guided his eyes to me, with the lock of hair loosening from his ear and rubbing against his beard, and for a moment, he just watched me. He observed in a way that I was quite aware of the blood running through my veins, and how my breathing suddenly seemed irregular. So I noticed that, just like me, he also seemed to duel if he said something or just kept waiting.He looked at the space behind me, with the same attention I had seen on his face before we got there, recognizing that obscure presence."What can you see so much on my back? "I wanted to know.Vraxlon offered me a tender smile."Your protective spirit, your majesty.”I frowned, although I turned to look. Nothing. As much as I tried to send that silent command to my soul, asking for that vision that allowed me to see the evil and profane. There was nothing."And what is this spirit like?”"A Cerastes," he said."What the hell is a Cerastes?”"A very peculiar viper" he gave a low giggle, probably remembering s

However, hours after we were satisfied for the second time in a short period of time, it occurred to me that Vraxlon was not telling the truth. That that strange prophecy that Kleyphon had mentioned was the cause of those ominous forebodings that I felt, and of the constant feeling that I should say goodbye all the time to those I esteemed. That no one but me could see Miguel's silhouette because it was a part of the story written for me that no one could know yet.I had the growing feeling that even my most banal choices "or even the most important ones like giving that sword as a gift to Vraxlon" were a repetitive sequence of past actions. And that every time I was faced with making another decision, that feeling of Deja Vu assailed me, as an alert for me not to choose that path.However, everything would be easier if I knew very clearly about the steps I should or should not take. Not least because, when I chose to act, it led me to some destination already lived. When I decided to

Octavius absent-mindedly began to open and close his hand, testing the powers in his own blood. I didn't want the effect to be more than missing a spark of power, but I knew that if they paid a little attention, they would have noticed. Octavius finally turned his gaze to me, and even if he was angry, even if the presence of Vraxlon so close to me awakened in him his worst side, there was a very beautiful kind of pride on his face."I didn't do anything with your magic.”"Liar," Heynna growned, still stuck in the same place. "I miss much of my power. What did you steal from us for?”"I don't need the magic of any of you. I have more than enough now "I drew with a little way of mouth. "I just connected your powers to mine.”"What does that mean? "Tennebris asked, sounding so peaceful that no one would say that the voice belonged to the sin of wrath.But it was Vraxlon who responded, realizing the sly look I sent towards him, knowing that he was the only one who really understood my act

When we finally left the bathroom, my hair was already completely goosebumps from so long under the water, and Vraxlon had a malicious little smile on his face that didn't go away for a long time. When we returned to the room, however, we returned to reality when our clothes were waiting, raised in the air, and, as if the castle could predict my actions before I spoke, I could see that each dress contained enough pomp to demonstrate that we were going to a very important event.Vraxlon put on the black pants that the castle erected towards him, and buttoned the dress shirt up to an inch below his chest, leaving the muscles above visible to any curious person. By pure magic, his hair dried and was combed, before his prince's crown descended gently on his head.While watching the castle spoil him with his care, I was also being pampered. My hair was combed and dry, falling around my arms with soft ripples. A tiara slid gently around my hair, clinging to my forehead like a tangles of thi

"I should better choose the words to talk to a queen, Kleyphon " I said with clenched teeth.The archangel frowned, but the wide smile remained unwavering."I will never understand why in hell you have the habit of delegating high positions, if everyone continues to be flour from the same bag," he mocked, and gently shook an object he had in his hands. It looked like a glowing rope. I got tense. "But if you prefer so, come on, your majesty, your presence is requested before the Creator.”"I'm not going anywhere," I rustled, getting up from a jump.Kleyphon undid his smile. Even if there was something about him that inspired kindness and empathy, I knew that the longer it took to get out of there, the more obstacles would come my way. The black cloud in the sky was descending faster and faster. He noticed when I looked outside, and when my breathing failed because of fear. I didn't expect that Vraxlon could create the portal back, not when I already knew that the archangels could keep

"Did I fall in love with someone? "I asked.Miguel nodded, and a glow of remorse lit up in his violet eyes."So, even if I was assigned to protect a specific human throughout each century, nothing could get out of my head the idea that, despite the soul made of all evil and rot, there was something different about you. There was a feeling. You were made of two of the most powerful demonic beings in the world, but still, you were able to have your own emotions. "He stretched out his hand between us, and took one more step until he was close enough for the tip of his nail to touch the pendant of my necklace. "And overnight, I found myself not complying with the greatest and most absolute rule in my world. Obey my creator. Because I created feelings for you. Not for his human part, for the soul that was underneath. And then... I knew that fate had strange plans for us.”"You chose to protect me, even though you are no longer my guardian "I said gently."I realized very early that I would

"They made me see you and Octavius," I replied.A glow of malice ran through the dark irises of Vraxlon.“At the same time? "He asked."At the same time," I replied, feeling suddenly embarrassed."And how was it? "He wanted to know, walking slowly towards me. "Did you like it?”"I thought... "I staggered, because right at that very moment he caught up with me and deposited a kiss under my ear, at a point that I didn't even know could cause me so many goosebumps. “I thought it was interesting... You said something about me not having to choose, because I could have both.”"Is it really? "He purred, turning around for me and pushing my hair away to have free access to my neck. “Would you like to have it with us tonight, Your Majesty? As my thank you gift for the wonderful sensations we shared throughout the week.”I frowned lightly, but I didn't have enough strength for anything else, because Vraxlon began to slide his big hand around what the towel didn't cover, my arms, my lap, my nec

No one objected when I changed our route and mixed with the humans who passed by with full bags and expressions of pure fascination with the streets adorned with flags stuck in a string. And when we approached a small cabin with stools, in which a polaroid camera was positioned at one end, I was quite surprised that none of my companions refused to take a picture. We were a wreck, Faye and I with cuts in the faces of the fight against four female demons, Vraxlon and Tennebris with the face of someone who hadn't slept for days. Even so, I paid some coins for the photo and kept it carefully in my pocket.Our insured stop was in a stall with Latin foods that were too spicy. My companions ate with such satisfaction that I refused not to finish my dried meat and pepper burrito. However, my human stomach and already unaccustomed to the strong spices of hell seemed to reject the idea of such discordant and hot spices, and I spent mäl from that moment until when we left for the beach.On the

My head hurt, and I had the feeling that something vital and important was being pulled from me, coming from the bottom of my stomach and coming out of my mouth in clouds while I was kissed. Someone hit hard against my face, and the vision of the two men flickered, disappearing and appearing. Another slap hit me, and the pain was greater than the sensations that involved my body, so I was startled and blindly pushed whoever was around me.The salon was replaced by the cell at the police station, and Vraxlon and Octavius were replaced by the two big women who from the moment I entered the cell were crazy to start a fight. At that moment they were moving away and shaking their arms to regain their balance after my pushes, apparently they were the ones I was kissing. I made a sound of vomiting and bent over, trying to keep the feeling of their lips away from my mouth."Don't you dare use this rotten magic on me," I growled, extremely upset.The four women laughed in unison. That's all I

Faye walked away, with her pink hair sliding gently away from my shoulders, so I watched the women, to the same extent as they watched me. Two of them were very tall, in the style of volleyball players and had male traits, despite the long and stuck hair, and the tight clothes. The other two were short, and had delicate features... An almost supernatural beauty. The necklace on my chest sparked, and all four of them followed with their eyes."Is that a precious jewel? "Asked one of the big ones.I denied it with my head and covered the light of the necklace with my hand."Family inheritance. Cheap stuff.”"Hmm...
