A scream sounded, a dark voice and even colder than the one the nun had used. A scream that called by my name, the name of that ancient soul and belonging to another world. And I followed that voice, desperately trying to find it again, to reach it in the middle of the darkness and the noises that ran through that madness that my head had become. The dream dissipated, the darkness retracted, and a caress was made against my face somewhere far away.Open your eyes. Now!I obeyed.Vraxlon watched me, holding my forearms so tightly that when he let go, I had to avoid moaning in pain. I observed beyond him, we were no longer sailing, although we were still inside the boat. I had to swallow dry twice until I found my voice, until I felt that my mind and soul were interconnected again.“Are we there? "I whispered with a hoarse voice, because I didn't want him to speak first.I didn't want you to ask, because I wouldn't have answers and I didn't know why I had almost urinated in fear in that

My dog, it seemed, was another one of those monstrous creatures of the worst nightmares of an emotional writer. A dog the height of a mountain, with three angry heads on the black and hairy neck, with legs larger than two cars and a rabö that did not equal any size I could resemble. The amber eyes like those of a panther watched me, and the muzzle of the middle head sniffed, inspiring my smell. Whatever made sense, the huge teeth appeared in the three wide mouths, and Cerberus growled like a hungry creature, getting so close that I almost peed."Oh, no! No way! "I grumbled, trying to deviate from the immense language that stretched towards me, greater than any dimension of languages in the world. I managed to deviate from the first tongue, only to bump into the other one that extended and hit my whole body with a puff of putrid breath and dense saliva, as the three heads of the dogs nodded in consent as to my identity. Maybe they could see my soul shining like Vraxlon. I doubted very

I tried to undress, leaving the sneakers filthy on the polished white stone floor, and soon my intimate clothes also went to the floor before I let the water massage my body like wet and skillful fingers. I would not doubt that they were ghost fingers, considering that every joint in my body moaned with thanks.I took a liquid soap with the smell of musk and sandalwood that spread on my body with a fragrance that referred to cleanliness and freshness, and only stopped rubbing myself when all the dirt, sweat and drool had been a sad and distant memory.The camera was covered with white smoke when I finished the shower, and I got a little fright when I bothered to look in the mirror. But it wasn't my naked and rung-haired image that scared me. It was that, through the dense smoke of the hot bath, I saw in my reflection the unmistakable silhouette of a man. It was made by a darkness unlike anything I could have seen in my life, a purplish darkness, like an entire galaxy. No features, no

At that moment, missing a single row of chairs to sneak to the door, I stared at the man, and noticed that I did not feel so affected by knowing that he deserved it, that he was there for having been refused at the gates of paradise and having descended with a single passage to hell, where he would pay for his cruelty in life. I found myself thinking if there was no justice in any way.If the worst of punishments was not, ironically, a necessary good to punish those who thought they would never be caught. He had preferred death, chosen to take his own life so as not to have to rot in a prison. Not knowing that I already had a place dedicated to him in hell.What made me think that all that audience was a simple event to observe human despair. In fact, there were hooded creatures that gathered in a group in the chairs on the left, and that leaned from time to time as the sinner cried, as a kind of spiral smoke flew towards them, as if they were really being fed by that repentant soul.

"In fact, if history repeats itself..." said Vraxlon, with black eyes flickering in a feeling that I could not decipher. "So we can say that if you don't go to the oracle, he will find a way to attract you there, so that destiny is fulfilled.”"Why? What exactly is this Oracle?”"A creature older than all of us," said Faye, in a sad and cold tone of voice. "Who was arrested in purgatory after being expelled from paradise. It is she who creates and weaves human stories, and who may well have woven her human history together with the demonic soul as a way to prevent free will in her actions.”"Did I do something in some reincarnation so that she wanted to take revenge that way?”"I wouldn't say that she would be taking revenge... but that it would be a way to make sure to prevent celestial beings from crossing the path of someone like you, or, indirectly, of someone like Lilith. “Vraxlon’s lips contracted in a line. "The oracle is the second woman created by God, soon after Lilith, who

Faye punched the air, and also stood up. She observed that point on top of my back and made a deep bow, with her pink hair shaking."In the name of our friendship," she said full of emotion in her voice. "I promise to give my soul in exchange for yours if necessary, my queen.”I turned my gaze to Vraxlon, and he smiled briefly before getting up."For his protective spirit," he said, bowing to that shadow on my back. "May he be strong enough to prevent you from dying in this life, and if not, may my sword never fail to protect you.”A breeze of power caused my hair to shake gently at the ends, as if the magic was being sealed with the power of the two angels fallen before me, and that thing constantly on my way, in a promise of souls. It was inevitable for me to raise my chin, and the superb little smile that stretched my lips."As for the Royal Council," I spoke, crossing my hands in front of my body. “How can I contact them to urgently start all these visits?”"They are already waiti

The flames on the portals on my back went out, the trail of fire was extinguished, and breaths of careful breathing were trapped in the silent crowd when I realized what the simple act of sitting on the throne triggered around the castle, what it triggered by the remaining six corners of hell. For those who feared or plotted against their queen. I was back.Sitting there, in that dress, on that throne, inside that black stone room... It was as if the darkness leaked from me, as if the power was too strong to be contained by flames. And that primitive notion that the lesser demons had to bow, my companions "Faye and Vraxlon" also shared, for the moment they reached the altar, they bowed in deep bows, although Vraxlon continued to climb the steps, and Faye's hair was slightly messed up in his act of tilting his head to observe.I did not dare to cast another look in the direction of the prince-warrior as he went up, because I knew that even with my heads down, the attention of all the o

"There's something about it beyond that power. I don't like her. And I like it even less that she is part of my kingdom.”"Kyra is my infiltrator to know about the steps of her three counselors, Your Majesty. You agreed to her presence for more than five hundred years.”"I don't agree anymore. I don't agree with her so close to me. Get another "I insisted, massaging a spot on my chest that suddenly seemed sore. "There's something about it, Vraxlon. There's something wrong with her.”He seemed slightly upset, but finally nodded."As soon as she returns with the answers of the four remaining princes, I will dismiss her services and make arrangements to find someone at the height of the position.”"Thank you," I said, and turned around so that he wouldn't see how my throat oscillated with fear, there was something in that fire nymph. Something I urgently needed to find out before it was too late.“Faye seems to have found a way to entertain and have fun with each other,” Vraxlon commente
