Absolute silence reigned for a moment, then Zeel brushed his fingers across Aurolana's cheek and down her back.

He felt the scars from the whipping and knew she kept them as a way to feel closer to himself.

Two scars also materialized on Zeel's chest, it was the scars caused by Aurolana's wings when she claimed a piece of his soul.

Aurolana brushed her fingers across the scars on Zeel's body.

Most of them were matching scars they had received together. It was a testament to their story – a story of tragedy that has now become one of love.

Not knowing when their lips joined as clothes dissolved and several rounds of passionate love ensued.

It only got better every time they made love, and Aurolana did not forget to take the last piece of Zeel's soul still not corrupted by death energy.

The chains caused her a fair bit of resistance, but she was an Apollonian, and even cosmic beings could not rival her in Purgatory.

"I will keep it safe for you," Aurolana said merging their souls together once more.

"I will come back to you. You know my heart so you know what I plan to do," Zeel said.

"I give you a thousand years," Aurolana said "Keeping an Apollonian in Purgatory is like keeping a bird from flying. You either love me enough to keep me, or you let me fly away,"

Zeel nodded, a bit glad that Aurolana did not question the methods he would use to resurrect her without the Grimm Reapers.

Catherine was a huge part of his plan, but she was unreliable at times.

Aurolana laid back onto Zeel's chest and caressed his head gently "It is okay, you don't have to pretend with me,"

Zeel did nothing and said nothing but Aurolana did not relent "You came to me. Just let it out and go back. You have been gone for a long time,"

Zeel did not say anything but tears began to leak from his eyes, and soon he was crying mutely in Aurolana's bosom.

"I can remember them all. All of those I killed, the kids, mothers, fathers, warriors, heroes.

I remember them all. All the women I hurt, and I can feel your endless pain. The more you stay here, the greater the pain becomes," Zeel cried as his mind broke down.

It was not painful to commit so many sins when he was unable to feel anything but his mind had begun to take the brunt of every sin ever committed.

Zeel's emotions were dampened to keep a rational mind, but how could he now feel the pain of all his past actions.

All the women who loved him but died?

All the acts he did to Catherine and Aurolana, the two most important women in his life.

Killing his own father figure and teacher – Zal.

Everything had begun to weigh on him a long time ago, but he could never really release the pent-up emotions.

He probably subconsciously called out to Aurolana for comfort, because in the end, she was the only girl he was sure truly love him. At least, the only one still alive.

Zeel cried his heart out until his emotions stabilized.

Of course, he realized that Aurolana was drawing out his emotions but it still made him relieved.

Suddenly, Zeel asked, "How long have I been here?"

"Here?" Aurolana questioned but did not have an adequate answer "Here, is about five years, but depending on your Universe, it could be a couple of seconds or as much as a thousand years,"
