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

Faye stretched my necklace, and I didn't dare refuse, moving my eyes away from yours with the excuse of needing attention to close it around my neck."The choice is mine, as you said. And I choose to pay to see.”Even upset and seeming to contain the new sermon that was about to jump out of her tongue, Faye narrowed her eyes towards me, and remained silent. We had a lot to think about as we were led by a pair of those humanoid creatures of Octavius to his throne room. The castle was full of those creatures, even in the lobby, demonstrating a lot about how full the Hall should be.They all knelt when they saw me go down the stairs, with Faye on my lay, and only got up when I passed through the frame of large and high doors that revealed to me the center of the party. Knees bent and heads bent down to let me pass through a path that led to Octavius' altar, where he was standing next to the throne, smiling so much that all his teeth were visible.The subjects of that kingdom were already

"It had been a long time since I visited this despicable place," whispered Faye, hugging her body in the face of the strange sensation that seemed to overwhelm the territory of wrath. "It's so... empty.”In fact, observing the red earth that served to sustain the huge limestone castle that perched against a small "and only" space of land within the entire Aqueronte River, we had much that overwhelming feeling of there being nothing in all that place. The kind of place that would be the result of the devastation of a war, or a tragedy of world scales. What would be left of a ruined castle, built of white and faded stones, in an unexpected place for there to be something that referred to royalty.I prepared to find something without luxury, without beauty, as Vraxlon took Faye and me to a reserved place in the sand castle of Octavius. The prince of pride didn't want to say goodbye to me. In fact, since our first and only dance, he has made no effort to be present. And he did not protest

"It is still a very selfish thought," I said, raising my eyes to see the gargoyles destroyed in front of each pillar of the castle. In addition to being hateful dogs, they were all already with half their heads lying on the ground, their mouths wide open and broken. It was hard to find an entire wall in there. Even the stairs looked like missing steps. The chandeliers with few lit candles, also broken. The place seemed to be in pieces. Patched. "To think that all you should do with your life is to disturb humans.”"And would you prefer me to lie to your majesty?”"I prefer to believe that you are not involved in the rumors of demons that are escaping to possess demons on earth.”When he didn't answer, and the only sound was of small pebbles sliding through the ruined walls of his castle, I turned my eyes towards him. Tennebris sustained my gaze, and a small emotionless smile filled his mouth."And how could I be involved in these rumors if I live only with the company of human souls t

"Thank you," I said, looking for my sandals. I wasn't really in the mood to have my feet pierced by the stones and the broken shards of all the destruction of that castle. I sat on the bed to put on. "If Faye wakes up, let me know that I'm not in danger, I'm just collecting information.”"She's already awake," he warned, leaning against the wall next to the door. I heard a very characteristic sound of something babbling and holding on for a close look, and I thought if it wouldn't take too much to the walls they would also give in to that mass destruction. Vraxlon watched me get out of bed and explained: "We don't need to sleep. Apart from Jensen, the sin of laziness, who needs to sleep to survive, some just do it to recharge their magic. Faye only needs a few minutes... I... I don't need to sleep.”"Oh, is it? And how do you recover your lost magic from each day?”Vraxlon crossed his arms in front of his chest when he saw me taking a few steps to the door, the sword hanging next to h

A real jungle, with the sound of crawling animals, and a song that for a moment I thought belonged to birds, but then I found out that they came from some small and one-eyed creatures, who climbed trees as easily as monkeys."Don't be drooling," he mumbled hatefully Tennebris, cutting off my fascination. "Behind the covers, everything is on fire.”"I like what I see over the cloths," I retortured with a grunt, still observing the smell of the environment that perfectly imitated the vegetation of a forest."Do they have any fruits? "Said Faye, putting one hand on his forehead. "I feel like I'm going to faint from hunger.”"I carry you," offered Vraxlon, cordially, taking Faye's little body in his arms.Tennebris pretended not to pay attention to any of them. However, as he walked in front, next to me, from time to time I could see the look from the corner of his eyes that he threw back, usually when I heard Faye laugh or Vraxlon say some dirty joke. Despite everything, he did not apolo

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?
