Chapter 25: Under the moonlight
He might have noticed the joy in Betty today. Was that it? Joy? Or just hidden sadness, tried to be concealed on some laughter?
He did not care. The world had changed somehow for a bit when he saw her laughing - for the first time. They had stopped walking on sunset and set up camp for their tired selves. Albert was leading them and he was sitting far behind them, taking his rest. He had carried Mark all day and he understood how tired he was. Mark stayed with Albert even when they had all already settled. He was glad of it though. He could have some alone time with Betty. They gathered around a fire. Some men had made jokes on their game for their dinner. They were roasting a rabbit and two little birds. That would not be enough meat for them but they were so glad that they had something to share over the fire. It was not the food though. It was the talk. They grew to be closer with each other and it would take some time for them to adRelated chapters
The Lost Angel: Pilgrims Chapter 26: Facing Reality
Repetition made some things bearable. She thought she knew it all. In theory, she did and it was harder to make it worked than theorizing it.She kept on telling herself that she was good at it - even better than the other realities she participated. She remembered all the faulty efforts of the Phoenix on healing time. She never forgotten it, but what she's afraid was knowing that she never learned something from it. Didn't she learn something?She knew she had learned something but somehow, it seemed that it was not good enough anymore. She's facing reality. And, it was harder than she thought it would be. Being her as a Constant was just new to her. It was when the time turned and everything was new.She had to make a decision now. The Night Children was hopeless and they needed a leader - not just like Albert. They needed someone who was better than Albert. He was too sentimental and even the smallest change of habit was a di
The Lost Angel: Pilgrims Chapter 27: A Lost Cause
She had been able to keep the tavern from Albert for so many years before she decided to show it to him. The very reason she hid it was because she had other transactions. She catered vampires and humans in the place for business. When Albert showed his interest to her, she knew that the hiding should end then.She invited him for pleasure. She had some thoughts on how he felt about her. They were both confused. They were immortal and they had quite a lot of time to figure out about their emotions.She marked her territory.

The Lost Angel: Pilgrims Chapter 28: Beautiful Prisons
She struggled to see that the world she went in was too beautiful to be so confusing. She heard music - beautiful as it was but it held a language she could not understand - like listening to a good tune but on a different language.She could not describe it. It was perfect. It was a Paradise but it made no sense. She realized there was no light of day there and there was no night. She was enclosed on a planet of pure magic. She could feel it vibrating on her skin and seemed to be her blood telling her that she knew this place very much.She faced the woman who bore the same face as hers. The only difference they had was the manner of their dressing. She was a Magician from Los Barrios. The Palace housed the twelve tribes from the lines of angels who went to Highlands to reproduce. A very long time ago, deities could come and go to Highlands and enjoy the pleasures of men. Angels were sent as messengers and since they spoke a diffe

Fire breathing dragons were announcing a child and he felt the place were burning.The dragons must have felt the new walls erecting at their places and they knew already that there were intruders in the place. He thought it was impossible to create such magic but here he was - building from the inside. The first wall he created shattered like broken glass and he felt that the place trembled the moment it collapsed.He knew it would happen. He was not strong enough and Los Barrios did not face such creatures. He thought if he could create walls that thick, he could feel the whole place. Yes, he did somehow but it was impossible. The magic that held them safe was strong but not enough against the dragon outside.So he erected inside walls and tunnels. The first wall was just a distraction and he made sure that they were pro

Alex never experienced meeting with an angel and having one made her realized the deeper waters of her faith. Elena was making her dizzy with all the metaphors and the riddles. But it all made sense now. She was hiding some truth and right now, the pain she experienced was just an extension of a past that she knew too well but was trying so hard to escape. No one could hide from the past since it was not just something you could hide on. It was something you could only accept on. Alfredo did not much care.

The Lost Angel: Pilgrims Chapter 33: Breaking Free
The skies were black as always being ornamented by silvery stars. It looked like a reflection of the sands.It was several nights now that she walked on this caged paradise and yet she knew nothing of getting out there. She hoped that maybe the stars could tell her the way out. If only the Deities could hear her, she had no idea just as she was not sure if they exist at all.The cold breeze played her hair and it made the back of her nape stood. The sands were white and like all sand, the tiny glitters made it more like crystalline. She could see the horizon where the sea met the skies. This place had no moon. If there's one, it would be more like those things she dreamt of seeing in movies.She felt more alive now. It was so ridiculous to say such a thing, especially that she was stuck there. Her way out was still unknown and Red was unwilling to tell her any secrets. She had to figure out her way out or she's stuck with her.
