Even so, nothing stopped me from opening my legs a little more and pulling it against the table and my body. Hugging him so that my chin was on my shoulders, and I felt all the tension of his muscles, like a rigid and cold current."I thank you for waiting for me for so many centuries, Octavius "I thanked him sincerely, involving him with his arms and legs.Octavius let himself relax on me, surrounding my waist with his arms inside my cape. The familiarity of the touch almost made my heart stop. I could feel in the way he hugged and held me, a powerful energy, like an amalgam of everything we were. That part that seemed to be missed only the moment I met him, seemed more complete than ever. And my sense of smell was able to register a mild odor that reminded me of sea salt, coming from that energy we produced together. Det intended souls, in fact."I don't like the way he seems to be saying goodbye, my beautiful "he spoke in a deep tone of voice that reverberated every sense of my bod

Faye shrank her feet grudgingly for me to accommodate myself, causing the sweater loose and too big for her size to fold on her lap. Taken by a sudden kindness, she offered me a strawberry jam tart as soon as I leaned down on the fluffy and dark upholstery of the furniture. I accepted the dessert, biting a generous part."It's something almost like that. "She replied, hugging her knees. “I think you've already understood that we all have some of the human needs rooted in our sins, don't you, Arianna?”I sat down slowly."Is there anything I can do to change that?”Faye told me with caution."In addition to everything you already need to do to protect your own life, do you want to find a way to save us from Divine punishment, Arianna?”"Well, now that you said... "I started, feeling my cheeks burn a little with shame, and I finished the pie to have more time. "The idea didn't seem so stupid in my head.”Faye gave a contagious giggle and, leaning a little further forward, rolled a lock

The mattress practically swallowed me when I sat down, and a sneeze crisis distracted me for a long five minutes. I reflected if it wouldn't be better to sleep naked, but considering the place where I was... I ended up accepting that an allergy was nothing close to waking up with an incubus on top of me.After that, I lay down on the dark and soft sheets, letting my eyes relax for a second, and fell asleep the moment the lights went out. I didn't have dreams, but a noise woke me up in what I thought were just seconds of relaxation of the eyelids. The door that led to the room that separated my room from Faye was open, but I remembered having closed it when I passed. And at the foot of my bed, the figure of a woman stood up.I blinked into the shadow, and she moved her head slowly, in a gesture that could be one of contemplation or the prelude to an attack. The lights were off, and despite all the bright and shining life in the world outside the room, the silhouette was too dark to sho

I just wished that Faye had omitted the snow when she told me about her palace. I wish to be received by any friend I ever knew, to receive at least a new sweater and a warm roof. But I was slightly surprised when, as I left the snow forest, I found gates equally covered with snow closed and the fog covering everything behind it, preventing me from seeing what was behind it.However, I knew, deep in the bones, that behind that fog there was a castle identical to mine. With several towers and a walkway that led to him. But instead of the red ruby stone, there was a diamond walkway, with the brilliance and translucency of the rare jewel. That there was a lake of ice melted like lava running many meters deep, and that that lake burned as deep as living flames. I knew that was a castle erected out of envy, a copy of the one that belonged to me.The only sinful detail was the high gates that promised to guard the evil one, whose iron grid remained closed and was certainly not protected by

A cough with intense secretion made me take too long to be able to respond. Hyenna watched every breath, waited until I could get myself together, abusing all that supernatural stillness that left me on my nerves. I couldn't fool her any longer. My body was at its limit."Then send someone to let me know where I am "I said, feeling an absurd weakness in the body. I put my feet on the ground so as not to stagger, but I could do nothing with my vision, which became blurry and more vertiginous than when I was drunk. "I need to return to Pandemonium as soon as possible.”Because I had no idea how it had been teleported there. I didn't know if the creature had taken me to the feet of its princess, or if it served other kingdoms. But something in my blood has been on alert since the second I put my feet in that castle. Warning about envy being a venomous snake always prepared to hit the boat. She, at that moment, limited herself to tilting her head slightly to the side, as she watched me. A

I was still lying on the bed, with a barrier of magic surrounding my body with the same curious and beautiful tone that that silhouette that was chasing me used to materialize, and I realized that I was being observed, many, many light years ago above hell."Let me in," he said, and I stood still, in my mind and body. Miguel said again: "Let me in. I can save you""What world do you live in?" I asked, even though I knew I didn't have much time left. Even though he knew he could lie. I waited for the answer, and it took longer than I could allow me to wait, even so, it arrived."In the first world of the Creator," he replied, and I knew he was referring to God and the heavens. He was an archangel then. The simple frown of eyebrows at the sign of astonishment cost me a lot of effort."Why are you following me? Are you watching me for him?", I asked, aware of each beat one slower than the other on that pointer that marked the end of my life, maybe the beat was my own heart failing to fig

Hyenna's envy was so much to copy Lucifer and his Pandemonium, that it was always the heart of hell, that she tried to cover the traces of the copy by making it all in a parallel version to what would be the fire. But there was no real ice. It wasn't cold. It was heat covered by magic. And my human body, weakened by poisoning, didn't realize that. Absurd and bizarre. My head hurt from thinking about it so much.Vraxlon only spoke to me when we crossed the gates out of the sight of Hyenna's guards, even though she still had eyes and ears on the crows that were flying over our heads and on the creatures that camouflaged in the snow of her forest."How did you get here? "He questioned, finally, reaching the shores of that frozen sea, stopping under the rocky slope that I had seen at the time I got there.I wondered how much time had really passed. From my arrival, to the help of that man from another world. Because of the hunger that was starting to make me miss Faye, I was also missing

Vraxlon was still frowning, but did not retreat as I took two more steps towards him, getting so close that our breasts almost touched each other. And I touched his face, feeling his full and beautiful beard sticking my fingers, concentrating everything that was in me in the touch, on the soft and warm skin melting below my cold palm, and closed my eyes. I didn't listen to anything against that sound preservation shield he produced to prevent Hyenna's creatures from listening to our conversations as we left his territory.I didn't even hear my own breath. Very focused on making it work. Although I don't know how. My soul and my magic took care of the rest, as if I didn't need more than a command and a good willpower for it to happen the way I wanted.My head became nothing, the thoughts hiding like dust under a carpet, and my mind became liquid, malleable, sailing away from me, using my arm and the touch on the face of the prince-warrior before me as a bridge to connect our thoughts.

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... "murmured the other, throwing a look full of meanings at the big one.“Margareth, why don’t you keep telling me about your crime?
