Obsession "The Second Gate"
Lia froze in place for only a single second.She took one step forward.Then another.The room was unnaturally cold despite the several magical lamps illuminating the ceiling.The smell was strange.It was not the smell of ordinary death.It was something else... heavier.Not human.Even though the entity had become a corpse, a faint dark aura still emanated from its body.Leonard remained behind her, watching silently.He was only waiting for her reaction.Lia stopped in front of the metal table.She looked at the black corpse without moving any closer.The body was not entirely still.Something was moving inside it slowly.Contracting...Then expanding...Then returning to its place.Beneath the deformed skin, dark threads appeared, similar to what she had seen inside the giant.But this time...Clearer.Closer to their original form.Lia slowly raised her hand.Then stopped before touching the corpse."Don't touch it."Leonard said it calmly.She did not look at him."I wasn't plan
Obsession "Awakening (2)"
Gabriel remained close to her for several long seconds after his final words, still unable to comprehend that she had finally opened her eyes.Iris felt a strange heaviness throughout her body.Even breathing was exhausting.Her head throbbed painfully, and her throat was so dry that it hurt.She tried to swallow with difficulty.Gabriel noticed immediately."Water."He stood at once without waiting for a servant.He took the glass himself and quickly returned to the bed.He sat beside her again and carefully supported her back, as if she might break in his hands if he moved too roughly.His arm wrapped behind her while he brought the glass to her lips."Slowly."Iris took a small sip.Then another.The cold water eased the burning in her throat slightly, but after a few moments she began to cough softly.Gabriel's grip on the glass immediately tightened."Enough."He pulled it away at once and looked at her with obvious concern.His hand moved to her neck, unconsciously checking her
Obsession "Awakening"
The air inside the chamber was suffocating.The candles placed near the walls cast their flickering light silently across the marble floor, while Gabriel sat beside the bed, almost completely motionless.Eight days.Eight entire days spent watching her chest rise and fall with difficulty, fearing each time that it would stop.He no longer remembered when he had truly slept.Even his appearance had begun to change.His black hair had become disheveled, the upper buttons of his shirt were undone, and the dark circles beneath his eyes made his gaze more terrifying than usual.But he did not care.Everything beyond this bed had lost its value.His fingers slowly traced over Iris's cold hand while his eyes remained fixed on her pale face."I'm begging you..."His voice came out hoarse this time."Open your eyes."Silence.Then he suddenly let out a short, quiet laugh devoid of life."Look at me..."He lowered his head until his forehead rested against her hand."I was the one who believed
Obsession "On her deathbed"
Heavy silence filled the medical wing of the Imperial Palace.Iris's body lay on the bed, pale, connected to light tubes and monitoring devices that worked with a steady rhythm. Her breathing was weak, but stable.The door of the wing burst open.Gabriel entered like a storm once again after bringing back the Imperial physician, who had been away on a medical journey outside the Empire.He did not ask for permission because he simply had no need for it within his own domain.Every guard who tried to approach immediately stepped back, frightened by the pressure that filled the room the moment he entered and by the killing intent that spread through the air.His eyes searched for nothing.He already knew where she was.He walked directly to the bed.He stopped, his gaze lowering to her pale face.A face that did not move.Did not answer.Did not open its eyes.His voice came out quietly."Iris..."There was no response.Something in his expression changed instantly, subtle but obvious.
Obsession "A hereditary disease"
In the side wing of the palace...The sound of a teacup being placed on the table was soft.Katerina smiled faintly."You still drink it the same way."Alex looked at her."You still remember my favorite tea after all this time?""Of course I do. The finest of all."She chuckled gently at his words.A brief silence.The atmosphere seemed ordinary... only on the surface.Alex leaned back slightly."How are things in the south?""Quiet.""That's not a reassuring answer."He smiled lightly."How is the eldest young lady?"Katerina's eyes trembled for a moment before she smiled softly and replied gently,"She's well... and she asked me to pass along her greetings to you."A quick glance passed between them.Then Katerina said,"Alex...""Hmm?""Do you still visit the same place?"He paused.He asked no questions."Not often.""But you still go.""Old habits."A brief silence.Then she said,"She used to say that too."The atmosphere changed slightly.But Alex did not comment immediately.
Obsession "Own"
Iris woke up late in the morning.For a moment, she did not realize where she was.The heavy curtains, the spacious bed, and the warmth surrounding her body... all of these were things she was not used to.Then she remembered.Gabriel.Her heart trembled slightly, and she slowly turned around.But he was not beside her.Only the faint creases in the sheets and the cold scent of his perfume lingering on the pillow remained.She raised her hand and touched the place where he had been sleeping only a short while ago.Cold."He left some time ago..."she whispered quietly.A strange tightness settled inside her chest, but she quickly ignored it and got out of bed.Her body was tired, especially after last night, but what bothered her most were Gabriel's words before he fell asleep."You're... not going to leave me, are you?"She shut her eyes tightly.She should not become more attached to him.It would only hurt him later.She slowly got dressed, took her medicine, and carefully left the
Obsession the God of War
The wind began to grow colder as they moved further away from the borders of the Morus tribe. Iris had liked that quiet tribe, because it reminded her of her past life… before she left her homeland and met Gabriel. The ground beneath them changed gradually; from a torch-lit square to narrow rocky
Obsession “You were the one who tempted me first… so you’ll have to take responsibility.”
The feast was held outdoors in the middle of a wide courtyard lit by torches, while light snow fell quietly around the area.The tables were arranged in a half circle, filled to the edge with food and drinks. The chief of the Moros tribe sat in the center, with Gabriel beside him, while Iris sat ne
Obsession Welcoming Feast
The conversation at the table continued calmly while Iris listened far more than she spoke.The chieftain was talking with Gabriel about the tribe’s situation, the mountain routes, and the resources that would need support during the coming winter. Gabriel answered briefly, without unnecessary deta
Obsession “Go to sleep, or else… I’ll hold you and force you to.”
Iris remained still in her place, trying to calm down despite her heart still being irregular.His voice came from the other side of the bed, as calm as usual:“Sleep.”She didn’t move.She kept staring at the ceiling in silence, trying to ignore the tension still lingering inside her.Then he adde
