Aria's POV: "I can't move! What is happening to me?" I said to myself. I look around me and saw Oslec shaking my shoulder and yelling at me. He is calling out my name. I wanted to respond to him, but I can't utter a word. No, I can't move my lips, nor move my limbs. I felt completely numb. I believe that the witch tricked me and now, I ended up being cursed. Clarren is now fighting the daayan and I can see he is struggling especially since he is avoiding making eye contact with her. Clarren places a piece of cloth in his eyes to prevent him from looking into Riztine's eyes and relies only on his instinct. I've known Clarren all my life, and he has very strong senses. Maybe because he is an angel. He may be a fallen angel and most of his power has been stripped off him when he loses his wings, nevertheless, he is still one of the best warriors in heaven. He was fighting the d

Dylan's POV: Despite our best effort to control the situation in the Southern Hemisphere, the demons are getting closer to the barrier, and more human lives are becoming casualties of war. Night and day the phoenix couple has stayed up on guard to ensure that nobody else gets hurt. Over the years, demons have learned how to disguise themselves, walk and live amongst humans. They have increased in number and are smarter than ever. Like me, they have learned how to hide their powers so that demons and angels cannot detect them. Hiro, Emann, and I were in charge of evacuating the humans and taking them to a safe place. We find it hard to identify the demons and the humans for they all look the same. "Hiro, check everyone before you take them to the safe house. We can't afford to let a demon in the headquarters," I reminded him. "I can't detect which one is the demon and which one is hum

Dylan's POV: "Yes," Aria's quick response to my proposal. "Yes, I will marry you, Dylan Lockey!" she repeats her answer will all sincerity and a rainbow of emotions at her disposal. Everyone releases an audible sigh and forcibly claps their hands to show support for our engagement. They don't want to ruin the moment, so nobody said anything to contradict the happy scene. I stood up and inserted the ring on the fourth finger of Aria's left hand and just now realized that it was no ordinary ring. The size is adjusted to the finger of the owner of the ring and the color of the gemstone changes depending on Aria's mood. Aria looks very impressed with her ring. I can see the wide smile on her face and the sparkling look in her eyes. "Do you like it?" I asked her even though I already knew the answer, it is still good to hear her say those words. "I love it," she quick

Dylan's POV: This is it. The beginning of the end and the war will lead to the downfall of the Kingdom of Hell. I should feel excited that finally, it would be over, but I can't deny that my feelings are somehow divided. I am afraid and feared for the safety of Aria and the rest of the squad who will fight against the most powerful demon. There is thunder roaring like a beast outside the fortress. We are all startled upon hearing the eerie sound and decided to take a peak from the small opening of the fortress to see what is going on outside. We saw a huge thick red cloud from where the thunder came from, heading to our location. Unlike the dark cloud already covering the entire third stage of hell, this one brings acid rain, which is as red as human blood, and very destructive lighting that annihilates everything it touches. The cloud and storm are just a diversion. We are pretty sure that demon soldier

Dylan's POV: Death is inevitable. I heard those words from Aria when we first met and trick her into making her first wish. We will all die anyway. She said it without a flinch. Aria is not afraid to die at that very moment because she felt that she has no reason to live and it is easier to accept death. Knowing that there's nothing to leave behind. That was before we found love. Now we are all gathered here on this battlefield fighting for our lives because we wanted to live. Ironic isn't it? There are moments like this when I wanted to give up and give in. Surrender to the darkness because there's nowhere to go. I feel trapped and lost with no hopes left in me, but when I think of Aria. No matter how difficult the situation is, I just can't let go of the possibility that one day we can be together living a normal and peaceful life. That small chance, a glimpse of hope, and the possibility are giving me enough strength and
