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.

I screamed against my soul, and against all the curious creatures of Hyenna who were trying to peek over the shield of Vraxlon's sounds, and I screamed against the hatred that rose from my throat, potentiating that infernal magic, like a sound impulse.When I reopened my eyes, Vraxlon had wide eyes and looked pale, and my throat seemed cut from so sore. I thought it would be difficult to have something in the world capable of scaring a demon, but I opened a smile to the shock on his face, and turned to observe the portal created by me.It had edges in that magenta tone that represented my power, blurred as an attempt by time to understand that break in its reality, and right in the center of the portal, was the castle that I imagined belonging to Octavius, immaculate with all the extension of sand that surrounded it.I stretched out a hand to Vraxlon and he offered me yours, I realized how trembling he was."If I didn't know you, prince of lust...

Faye clapped her hands."You should remember that we have important matters to continue and that it is the life of our queen, and friend, who is at stake," she said, crossing her arms. "Can't you overcome the fact that she has no interest in the games you two are playing to conquer her? "She looked from Octavius to Vraxlon, and they both dared not express any emotion. Faye sighed. "Remember, if she dies, she will forget everything you are hard striving to do, so my dear friends who think with nothing but their heads down, make an effort to keep her alive, and not to win this ridiculous ego dispute. Or both of them will lose.”There was a moment of silence, so the magic of Vraxlon receded, and my head was relieved of that absurd pressure. Octavius nodded, but I still felt his magic floating among us like a ghost breeze."Now that we all agree," I started, trying to convey peace to my voice. "I need you to take me to the sarcophagus of your castle, Octavius.”The prince of pride widened

I nodded very calmly, and allowed him to guide me to the door. Vraxlon followed on my back, silent, although I felt a small portion of his power being released every second, as if being in the territory of another man was demanding a lot from him so as not to explode in fury "especially when Octavius was this man.When we opened the door, we were greeted by an immense staircase, from an open place and so wide that it reminded me of a stadium, but this one did not contain chairs, and what was in its center was what really looked like a tomb made of dark stone. Although I knew that funerals and burials were not held in hell, it was hard not to shudder at the idea of violating a tomb."I have the impression of really knowing this place "I spoke to no one in particular, narrowing my eyes to the stone structure that lay waiting.Octavius gave me a quick look, as we went down the steps that didn't seem to have an end."My kingdom has always been the one in which you remained the longest, my

I understood who the woman was. I understood which entity would be powerful enough to enter and leave at any time, from anywhere, without needing permission for this. Who would make me almost die to understand my powers and use them. In front of me was Lilith, the first woman created by God. And when the understanding finally came, she opened another wide and long smile. I felt a nauseating place of magic passing through us, I felt my necklace finally coming to life and burning in my chest, and when all I could see was the pain going up and down my body, I screamed."What place is this? What did you do to me?”Lilith watched me in the penumbra, from inside the fog of that unknown and gloomy place, whose only light reached only the place where I was, coming from a very far and high corner. There were no walls, no ceiling, not even a floor in my field of vision. She just watched and didn't answer for a long time. To the relief of my fearful and frightened mind, at least I could see that

Until the day she simply wrote a whole book that, in Latin, taught how to summon demons and other creatures. The nuns understood it as an act of revolt, and the mother superior, Sister Celeste, decided to punish her with whipping. It was hard to look at. Even worse was feeling every time the whip waved in the air and descended against Elena's skin "my skin. Elena suffered for days with those injuries, from the bath to bedtime, the pain accompanied her and the pain strengthened her. Until the day he decided to contradict an order from Sister Celeste, which simply consisted of asking God for forgiveness for her sins, and realized what was happening... He noticed when he looked into the nun's eyes and saw them take on the black color at once, erasing even the white part.That's when she realized that the nun was possessed, that the woman had been touched by evil at some point in her mediocre life. And when she was about to be attacked by that demon, she managed to hit the nun with a lamp

"I don't have time for parties," I said, making an ugly face.Vraxlon gestured with his shoulders."Your prince does not seem so worried about what your majesty really wants, only about the rare chance he has to expose to our world how intimate he is.”I frowned."Why are you talking like that?”Vraxlon pretended to be surprised."In what way, Your Majesty?”"With irony, smart guy. Why are you so ironic and funny now?”Vraxlon opened a little smile that left him with a very egocentric pose, even inside all that steel of his war armor."Parties and banquets always make me excited, Your Majesty. I apologize if my lack of seriousness bothers you in this way.”Even with the careful words, he sketched a predatory singing smile. Maybe he was acting that way for the quick exchange of glances we had on the sarcophagus, knowing that Octavius could make an effort to give me the world from then on, and he would never receive an ounce of the gratitude I felt for Vraxlon, for what he had done for

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?
