NOELLE'S POV,
We fly to a mountain far away from the main part of Liberum. The last mountains we fly past are abandoned. Gabriel takes me to a mountain covered in snow. On top of the mountain, there is a house made completely out of glass. The house is made like an upside-down bowl. Gabriel carries me inside the glasshouse.
The house is one big round room. In the middle, there is a massive fireplace with next to it a small round pool that looks like a hot spring. There are little flowers with candles floating in the hot water. Furthermore, there is a massive round bed with rose petals on it and a little cozy kitchen area. I look up and can see all the stars in the sky through the glass windows.
"Wow, I think you found the most romantic spot that exists," I say to Gabriel.
Gabriel hugs me from behind and kisses my neck, "Anything for my queen."
I look out of the window to the surrounding mountains and say, "I know we are still in Liber
NOELLE'S POV,After the bath, I feel kind of exhausted and we decide to call it a night. The bed feels soft and warm, and I immediately yawn because sleep falls over me. I cuddle up to Gabriel and let him spoon me from behind. I feel warm, safe, and loved laying in his arms and within minutes I fall asleep.I wake up in the middle of the night because I feel something hard against my butt. I slowly wake up to the tingling sensation of Gabriel's hands going over my body. I open my eyes and feel Gabriel's warm breath against my neck. He leaves a trail of soft kisses on my neck that sends shivers down my spine. Gabriel pulls me closer and whispers hoarsely, "You are so sexy Noelle, I couldn't keep my hands off you."I gasp a bit when he then softly bites my ear and lets his fingers go over my hipbone to my thighs. He then puts his fingers between my legs and circles them around slowly for a while. I can feel his excitement pulsating against my butt which makes me want to
GABRIEL'S POV,Gabriel walks out of the glass cabin and sees a shimmer of blue and gold approach. "IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE," Dagahra and Thorn shriek while they land in front of him.Noelle runs out and strokes Thorns his massive head before climbing on his back and taking off. Gabriel shakes his head with laughter because it is never a slow pace with his wife. He looks into Dagahra her orange eyes and strokes her neck before climbing on her back, "Let's go after those show-offs’ girl."With a big shriek, Dagahra takes off and shoots after Thorn and Noelle. Thorn seems to have slowed down because he is looking at the shimmering snowflakes that start to fall down the clouds. Dagahra quickly flies past him and takes the lead. "Let's go to the lake," Gabriel tells Dagahra.He can hear Thorn and Noelle coming behind him and when they catch up Thorn keeps bopping Dagahra with his snout on her side. "What does he want?" Dagahra asks annoyed in
NOELLE'S POV,The next morning Gabriel and I go back to the center of Liberum. We have had amazing days together and I feel light and happy for now. We find our friends in the meeting room where I first met them. When we walk in Holly immediately runs to us excited, "How was it, guys? Ow never mind I can already see it on the glowing look on both your faces."I give her a hug and laugh, "It was amazing just what we needed."The rest all smiles at us feeling happy because we are happy. I walk to Nolan who still looks like he has been crushed by a massive rock. I put my hand on his shoulder and asks softly, "How are you feeling?"Nolan puts his hand on mine and answers, "I am alright considering the circumstances."He stares out of the window, "Being so close to death makes you think though about what is important in life."He looks at Holly for a second and a shimmer of pain and regret falls over his eyes. Holly notices his look and seems uncomfort
GABRIELS POV,After Noelle disappeared from his sight Gabriel stood there for a while just feeling empty and sad. It seemed he only got such a short amount of time to share his love with Noelle. But he must keep faith that this is not the end, and they will get to spend much more time together. He takes a deep sigh and goes inside to pack his bag. He already said goodbye to Dagahra and the rest so there is nothing left for him to do. He meets Julias at the square and together they walk out of Liberum. He glances over his shoulder one last time and hopes with all his heart that he will see his beloved city again. Zeus decided it would detect the least attention to walk so he and Julias have a 3-day walk ahead. Julias stays silent for most of the time, but Gabriel doesn't mind. He has a lot on his mind at the moment so some peace and quiet is just what he needs.After a few hours walking they decide to call it a night and set up a camp. Gabriel disappears into his own
JULIAS POV,Gabriel storms out of the room and Julias quickly goes after him. Finally, something is happening he thinks. He still doesn't know what to think about Gabriel. He wants to believe Noelle, but Gabriel played the assassin role so convincing. So, he is either a great liar or there is a part of him that represents that version. He must stop thinking about it though because they arrive at the guard of the castle again.The guards immediately get annoyed when they see Gabriel but before they can say anything Gabriel has touched them lightly with some electricity and they fall to the side unconscious.Gabriel walks past them without slowing down his pace and Julias hurries after him looking at the guards with big eyes. That was almost too easy. They walk into the castle and every guard that tries to stop them shares the same fate. They find lord Midas eventually in a big hall where he is eating and drinking while watching some barely clothed women dance. Th
GABRIELS POV,When they are walking to the Inn to pack their stuff Julias says, "That guy Javier gives me the creeps."Gabriel nods, "Yes there is something very dark inside that guy. I noticed a certain blonde lady didn't give you the creeps though. You were looking like you had just seen an angel."Julias gets a dreamy look on his face, "Ow man she was an angel. She must be the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. It was like no one else was in the room when she walked in."Gabriel smiles, "That's how I feel about Noelle."Julias stands still and looks at him with a sincere look for the first time, "I can see that you love each other. I am sorry that I keep judging you from your past. We all had to make some tough decisions in that time."Gabriel squeezes Julias his shoulder, "It's alright we will probably have to make some more tough decisions soon. By the way, great thinking to mention what happened to the Sea Realm when they stayed neutral. That
JULIAS POV,It is too dangerous to talk about what just happened in the palace so Julias and Gabriel both go separate ways after the talk with Lord Midas. Julias goes to his room and when he lays in bed, he is still stunned by what happened. How can they be so stupid and ignorant and best of all trying to make a deal with Hades? That is just asking for trouble. Julias feels bad for all the people that must suffer the consequences of such a clueless leader. It takes him a long time to fall asleep and he wakes up the next morning with a big headache.It is still very early when he decides to go have some breakfast but to his surprise, Luna is there as well. He immediately feels nervous and tries to be relaxed when he walks to her."Hello, my name is Julias. I don't think we have met before."Luna looks up at him with her big blue eyes and studies him before answering, "Nice to meet you Julias, my name is Luna. I am Lord Midas his daughter. Who are you?"She ho
GABRIELS POV,For the last 2 days, Gabriel has been busy getting to know the city and its people. It is clear to him that there is a big difference between the poor and the rich. Unfortunately, everyone seems to be too scared to talk to him. He will have to talk to Angus tonight and figure out a strategy to learn more about what the people of Dandion actually think. He puts on some decent clothes for the dinner because Lord Midas has a dinner for the nobility of Dandion. Gabriel looks in the mirror and sighs, his eyes seem sad and not vibrant like normal. He really misses Noelle so much that it hurts.It is hard to concentrate on his task here when all he can think of is his beautiful wife. He wants to know if she is okay and what she is doing right now. If only he could send her a mind message. Just hearing her sweet voice would already make him feel so much better. He takes another look in the mirror and sighs again, it is time to man up and focus. He straightens his pos
