Valcoz looked up at him, confused, vulnerable, his eyes no longer glowing, his body no longer pulsing with dark energy. No horns. No claws. No eternal fire gnawing under his skin. Just a man. One that bled red and breathed with difficulty, like he hadn’t been carved by infernos but by mortal hands. “I don’t feel it anymore,” Valcoz murmured. His voice was raw, disoriented. “The hunger. The voices. The tether to the realm... it’s gone.” Jacquiem fell to his knees beside him. The remnants of his divinity had been silent since that night, the moment he poured everything into saving Valcoz. Now, when he tried to reach for the light, there was only silence. Emptiness. A soft echo where the divine once sang. He smiled faintly. Bitter. Beautiful. “That’s because I gave it all up.” Valcoz’s brows furrowed. “Wh

Jacquiem stepped back, his breath catching in his throat as the truth slowly carved itself into the silence.

Burning Embers: Scorching Tales of Desire The Prince of Hunger: Part 9
The world blurred around them as Valcoz spent the last dregs of his power to twist space itself, dragging them through the crumbling seal beneath the cathedral. The ground shattered. Light cracked open like glass. And then they fell, sky and earth spinning around them, Jacquiem clutching Valcoz as they tumbled through the arcane slipstream. They landed hard. Not bone-breaking, but enough for Jacquiem to cry out as they skidded across damp forest floor, the underbrush breaking their momentum. The impact knocked the air from his lungs, but the warmth pressed against his chest brought panic, not pain. "Valcoz," he whispered, lifting himself. The demon lay limp, black blood trailing from his mouth, eyes closed, skin pale where it shouldn't be. The horns that had once glowed with crimson rage were cracked, dulled, barely clinging to their arcane shimmer. Valcoz was burning from the inside out, his power devoured by the sealing s

Valcoz's Perspective The chains glowed dimly in the underground chamber, pulsing with the last remnants of the priest’s holy spell. Valcoz’s body was suspended midair, limbs pulled apart, flesh marked with scripture not meant for his kind. Yet his eyes were open. Watching. Breathing. Alive. But most dangerously, aware. Jacquiem knelt just beyond the threshold of the binding circle, robes in disarray, his shoulders trembling as he fought a war within himself far more devastating than the one they’d just survived. The other priests had left, shaken by how the ritual had nearly collapsed. Only the High Priest remained, watching Jacquiem from afar. “Why isn’t the purification holding?” the High Priest asked, voice sharp with unease. “He should be writhing. Screaming. Burning.” Jacquiem’s lips parted, but no words came out. Because he wasn’t sure. Becaus

Jacquiem's Perspective The underground chamber pulsed with holy sigils, etched deep into the stone floor, ancient runes glowing faintly beneath Jacquiem’s knees. He knelt before the altar, shirtless, his skin bare and unmarred, except for the brand over his heart. A scar shaped like Valcoz’s sigil.The priest, white-robed, stern-eyed, stood behind him, hands raised, lips moving in an unrelenting chant.The air buzzed. Light gathered.And Jacquiem trembled.Not from fear. Not from guilt.But because the light, this purification, burned not where Valcoz had touched him.It burned where he wanted to be touched again.The priest’s voice rose, furious. “Renounce the taint, Jacquiem. Let go of him. Let the light reclaim what the demon defiled!”But Jacquiem’s fingers curled tighter against the stone. He didn’t cry out.He remembered,Valcoz’s voice in the dark.“You came to me firs

As the priest raised his staff high, a brilliant pillar of light descended upon Valcoz. The magic flared, twisting into celestial chains that wrapped around his limbs and wings. Valcoz fell to one knee, snarling as the divine light scorched his skin."Chains forged from the prayers of the faithful," the priest declared coldly, stepping forward. "You will never touch another soul again, demon."Jacquiem burst through the fallen archway, breathless, eyes wide. "Stop!" he shouted, placing himself between the priest and the restrained prince. His armor clattered, but he stood tall.The priest’s expression darkened. "Step aside, Sir Jacquiem. The Goddess Aizelia does not tolerate traitors."Jacquiem’s fists clenched. "I am no traitor. He’s not the monster you make him out to be."The priest laughed bitterly. "You speak as though your heart has overtaken your mind. Don’t you understand, boy? You were never meant to win against him. You were bai

From the highest spire of his castle, Valcoz stood with his wings unfurled, a dark silhouette against the crimson-stained sky. His golden eyes swept across the lands he ruled, lingering on the figure walking through the courtyard below.Jacquiem.Once a sworn enemy, now an unsettling comfort in the heart of his demon kingdom. Valcoz watched the former holy knight as he moved without chains, without escort, free. Servants bowed in passing, not because of fear, but because he had become... something more. A presence. A consort. A contradiction.Valcoz's lips curled faintly. He had allowed it. No, he had desired it. And despite everything, Jacquiem had not run.A distant rumble pulled his gaze from the courtyard to the horizon. Dust. Movement. Steel glinting in the sun.Horses.Knights.They were here.Valcoz’s wings flared wider as he leapt from the spire, descending toward the barracks with a roar that echoed thr
