Heaven watched Zarin, who after he woke up buried himself in her books. He was very determined to help her. Ilyas sat quietly and also read one of her books, turning page after page. Sometimes he would raise his eyebrows. Heaven guessed it must be the times he either read something surprising or interesting. Leaving them to read, she turned back to her map and tried to make a few sketches of what she thought would be a good plan. Gina said she knew little about war strategies, but she was good at…

Heaven went to see general Kian as soon as she left her father. General Kian was busy planning the war and was having a discussion with other men when she found him. In the middle of his speech, he took notice of her and excused himself to come and see her. He approached her with a big smile. "Your Highness, I am glad to see you." He really seemed happy to see her. "Thank you. How have you been?" she asked. "I am better now that you are here, Your Highness," he said. Heaven got the impression…

On their way out, Zamiel and Zarin met Ilyas and invited him to go with them. Ilyas was hesitant at first, but then he followed them. They went to a tavern and as usual, gazes turned and eyes widened when they entered. It smelled of alcohol and food and… men. An unpleasant scent. They went and sat at an empty table and ordered their drinks. There was a heavy tension between Zarin and Ilyas as they waited for their drinks to be served. Ilyas didn't bother to hide his dislike for Zarin. He had been…

Zamiel sensed Zarin's presence long before he knocked on the door. Someone else was with him and upon hearing a female voice, Zamiel guessed it was Zarin's sister, Gina. He was glad to know that Zarin had chosen to go back home. Zamiel had wanted to meet Gina for a long time now to apologize. He had wanted Heaven to make them meet and not just go over to her house. Now that she was here, he would take the chance to apologize to her. With a wave of his hand, he opened the door, then waited for them to…

Zarin woke up with the worst headache. It felt as if his head would explode. You would think he would be used to it by now, but it hurt the same every time. Last night, he went out with his father so they could enjoy some time alone. They had deep conversations over a few drinks that soon turned into more than just a few. They ended up drinking bottles and Zarin couldn't even remember how he got home. But he knew he had a good time with his father. Suddenly someone kicked him out of bed from behind.…

After a long night with the ladies and lots of chatter and laughter, Heaven went back home to sleep in her bed after such a long time. There was no place like home, and having her mother sleep next to her made it all better. Her mother caressed her cheek. "How fast you have grown." She said, sounding sad. "You have been through a lot." Heaven smiled at her. "I want you to be happy now. Don't worry about me or your father. We have had many beautiful years together and if it is meant to be then we will…

After Lucifer left, Zamiel went upstairs to his room. Heaven had just woken up and sat on the edge of the bed. She looked at with a slight panic in her eyes. "Grandpa?" She said. "He left." He said simply, going to sit next to her on the bed. "Just like that?" She asked. "Well, he has nothing to take with him." She sat up, looking worried. "He won't give up easily." She told him. Zamiel turned his whole body to look at her. "Heaven. There is nothing your grandfather can do. All of it was…

While Zarin dusted himself off, he sensed his father's presence. He looked up and found his father standing with his hands behind his back and look on his face that made Zarin's heart tighten in his chest. Even though they were standing outside, it felt like there was no air to breathe in. Zarin felt nauseous again. He was mostly sorry and guilty toward his father. He had never been fair to him. "Father." He could hear the slight tremble in his tone. "Zarin." His father said his name as usual. Not…

Zarin stood behind his parents' home, hiding in the woods. His heart was going wild inside his chest, and he felt something strange in his gut. It made him want to vomit. No, he couldn't do this. He was almost sweating. He was full of guilt and shame that he couldn't even manage to take a step forward. He didn't know how long he had been standing there, trying to convince himself that he could do it. That everything would be alright. He would do as Zamiel said. See this as his punishment and make it…

After showing Irene her room and leaving her to rest, Euphorion went back to his nonexciting life. He already missed to be on land and discover new things. He didn't know why he never visited the lands for a very long time. Things had changed a lot, and he had been fascinated by many things. Even the humans were fascinating with all their disturbing and confusing thoughts. They thought loudly, unlike demons who had learned to control their thoughts while in the presence of others. Now, after many…
