Se connecter"Kaelith, take it easy."I let out a little sigh, but I didn't push his hand away. Instead, I leaned a little closer to Kaelith. His cold body was all up against mine, and it was cold!I still have a hard time with the whole Kaelith being immortal thing. He might be tired of the world, which is why he wants to be an ordinary human and grow old with me, but I know that's not going to happen right now.For now, we've got to put that goal on the back burner to protect our little one, who might be tied to the curse.Kaelith looked at me, and then he gently touched my neck with his hand. The scar from the curse was still there, barely visible on my skin. Kaelith's expression changed, and he looked guilty."Does it still hurt a lot?" Kaelith asked.I shook my head and said, "Sometimes it feels hot, but other times it doesn't."He leaned in real gently, his lips almost touching the scar, and I immediately held my breath. My body almost shuddered with a tingling sensation."Kael...""I can't
We made a mistake, and now we're in another tough spot. If only we hadn't been tempted to touch each other that night. My baby has done nothing wrong, so if she has to bear the same curse, isn't it possible that I'll die after she's born and she won't survive much longer, like ten years from now? Or maybe twenty years from now?I could feel Kaelith gripping my hand as tightly as ever."No," he said, and everyone immediately looked at him."I'm not going to let that curse touch Vaelora or my child."Simon and Alaric took a breath and nodded when they saw the conviction in his expression and words."In that case, I'll get ready to look for our family's tomb," Alaric told me, "you and Kaelith can rest first.""Right, we can't delay this any longer, sir," Simon replied.Finally, the two of them left, leaving the two of us alone in the room. Kaelith gently touched my face, his movements soft and careful, as if I might shatter if he moved even slightly too roughly."Are you afraid?" he aske
Vaelora's POVMy stomach felt all queasy, so I ran to the bathroom and threw up everything in my stomach. My body was shaking a bit and my throat felt hot, I grabbed the sink and looked at my face in the mirror.I was as pale as a ghost, and the bruise on my neck only made me look even worse.I thought this was one of the lingering effects of the curse, but it felt different.I didn't want to worry Kaelith, who had just woken up. I couldn't afford to look weak right now, but for some reason, I've been feeling nauseous every morning lately.“Vaelora, are you okay?” Alaric's voice called out, he'd knocked on the door a few times before."I'm doing well, just a little dizzy," I shouted from inside the bathroom.Before I could turn around to open the door, I got sick again and threw up. The bathroom door swung open, and Kaelith walked in and came up to me, but he was still a bit shaky on his feet.“Vaelora?” Kaelith touched my shoulder, and I could feel his cold skin again."Hey, check it
Kaelith's POVIt's cold and dark, and my chest feels tight. What's going on?I slowly open my eyes. The light is soft and blurry. My vision is blurry for a few seconds before I finally focus on the ceiling.This is my room. My body feels heavy, like every bone in me is shattered and then put back together with a lot of force."Kaelith!" Vaelora’s voice made me turn my head, she was standing beside the bed. She was kneeling, and her hands were shaking as she touched my face. How long had I been out?I tried to speak, but my throat still hurt.“Vael…”Vaelora immediately hugged me tightly, it felt as though something was missing inside me, but slowly everything returned. I'll include my last memory of the ritual being performed.I missed Vaelora.My hands gradually moved back, and I realized something was different as I felt this warm embrace.Vaelora’s body was warm, while mine… was still cold.I didn't say anything for a second, and Vaelora picked up on it. She let go of the hug righ
Kaelith’s gaze began to waver, I could feel my words starting to affect him. Red looked uncomfortable, he approached us again.“Enough with your drama,” he said.A dark aura reappeared around his body.“You’re making me sick!”Suddenly the entire mansion shook violently, Red unleashed an unimaginable power. The ceiling cracked, the windows shattered.Alaric had said earlier that the ritual had to be held in the basement, but now there was no time left.I was shocked, glowing red symbols began to appear on the floor, encircling Red and Kaelith. Since when had there been a ritual symbol pattern there?“What’s happening?!” I started to panic, Kaelith pushed me out of the ritual circle.“The ritual can be performed now! Simon managed to create that pattern while we were stalling earlier,” said Alaric.A strong wind blew, Red started screaming as if his body were bound by chains, while Kaelith began to rise, the distance between them slowly closing.“The eclipse has reached the unification
Am I the ultimate target? If that’s the case, the book Alaric brought seems completely useless.“In the end, I’ll still be sacrificed if that’s how it goes,” I said without thinking.“There’s a way to end this, Vaelora,” Alaric said, looking at me seriously. “This curse can be lifted without sacrificing you.”“How?” asked Kaelith.Alaric took a deep breath, then turned to Kaelith, “You and Red must be completely separated.”Red emerged from inside the mansion, he had managed to break free from the ritual seal Kaelith had created.“Impossible. We’ll always be connected because, fundamentally, we were the same soul from the start,” said Red.Red prepared to attack again, but Kaelith immediately blocked him.“Enough, Red. You’ve already destroyed this place, so that’s enough fighting,” Kaelith said firmly.I watched the two of them, Kaelith and Red, who looked identical but were different versions of the same person. Then I realized something, Red had said they came from the same soul.T
