"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

"Do you feel better? "I asked, noticing two curious packages on top of a large, soft and cozy armchair, in which I sat. The wraps whispered the sound of fabric when I opened them and found fine and exquisite dresses."I feel better than ever," she said, rolling in bed. "This food is really magical. I wonder if I should sleep as much as Jensen to be powerful in the same way.”I held on my tongue the desire to say what I really thought about him sleeping so much, and I lifted one of the dresses for her to see. It was made of something similar to silk, in the same shade of dark green as the leaves of the trees of that territory. A V-neck would make my seiös beautiful and modestly apparent. There were no openings in the legs, but he was slightly filled by the tulle fabric inside the skirt, leaving him with the appearance of a real royal prom dress."I wonder if Tennebris will want to join us at the party or will be holed up in the room with hatred of a kingdom a thousand times better than

It was something very embarrassing to see, but I would feel much better about being pampered like that than being leaning against a wall, with leaves of climbing plants rubbing against my back. The lack of music only increased the embarrassment. A party without music, with a lot of food and drinks, but with apathetic and distracted people. I missed the agitation in Octavius' territory.My chest tightened a little when I thought of him. In the way we had said goodbye, "which was without any farewell. I don't think I should have excluded him from all my plans. I would have felt terrible if it was used the way I used it over the centuries, filling it with empty promises, because somehow I already knew how it all ended.Vraxlon and I looked at each other and looked away. For the first time I didn't know very well how to start a conversation. And my palms were sweating as if I were in an oven. It must not have been more than a few seconds, even so, it seemed like a silence that there would

That way, there we were at the top of that cliff. The three fallen angels protected by my own magic, which contoured their shadows with a subtle smoke of magenta tone, and I, who found myself panting and tired for the few minutes I tried to keep his powers below mine.The feeling was like trying to hold hot irons. It was as if my two hands were holding the powers of the three at the same time, and it hurt, no matter how much my skin remained intact and smooth on the outside. Inside, my blood ran fast in my veins, and my heart intended to stop at any beat. I didn't have much idea how complicated that would be, until I really tried.And I knew I should have made these attempts much earlier. I should have prepared myself better. But I wanted to count on the element of surprise. I wanted to surprise my enemy by taking possession of my two books and destroying them before I found it. And I still had to go to purgatory. I didn't have time to waste with cautious actions and attempts.So I st

Vraxlon observed when Tennebris and Faye began to dance a song that she herself sang in an ethereal and rhythmic voice, with the rain surrounding them and finding it funny the sudden approach of those who hated each other so much."None of us chose to be stuck there," Vraxlon contested. "But we chose to follow a leader who did not settle for injustice and betrayal. We always knew that Lucifer was never the bad guy, and that's why we paid with exile, for believing in him.”"I swear I would understand the others who are possessing humans... If they were doing it because of it "I indicated Faye and Tennebris, laughing with each other. Laughing like children, like humans, like people who have nothing and are happy to have the least. "For wanting to feel everything that was taken from them. Knowing that they would never be able to step on the human world in its demonic form. I would understand if it were to feel the rain, the change in temperature, or simply to observe the world with diffe

Faye and Tennebris looked at each other, but Vraxlon took the lead, knowing that it was his cue to enchant a human with hormones on her skin. Realizing that he didn't even need powers to seduce, I didn't know if it irritated or comforted me."We are from the north," he replied, and the woman nodded, seeming to melt when she received a smile from him. "Elena's long-distance friends, on the part of the paternal family.”The woman gave me a look of suspicion."I thought you were an orphan.”"I am "I replied with a yellow smile. “But I recently took a trip to strengthen the lost ties with the family.”"You don't look like relatives," she replied, seriously studying Faye and Tennebris.Apparently, Tennebris' lack of patience and bad mood had enough time to get even stronger in those few seconds that the human world ceased to be a novelty and became as boring as hell. He snorted audibly, and approached one step."And you don't look like a person who is paid to an investigator, so spare us s

"Dear God, I don't know if you have been warned, but your name is in several quotes in this book. We, the crazy humans, write, and all the people you made in your image continue to believe that this garbage is real "he recited in a melancholic and soft tone, looking down, focused on the fingers that played the guitar. "Well, I know that nothing in the holy book is true, and so are you, dear God. So, I must say, I don't believe in you, God.”Vraxlon watched the singer carefully. He heard the lyrics while the melody played by the guitar sounded aggressively, contrasting the softness in the man's voice. It was a song made of contradictions, an open letter addressed to God, even if man said several times in his verses that he did not believe that God could hear him."Nowaday the more blasphemy, the more they think they will gain easy fame," grumbled a woman as she passed by us, holding the bag firmly under her arm. "You're not going to get anywhere like that, young man.”The singer did no
