After a few days, Lilithia was busy tending Satan Asiul, who wasn't doing so well — in reality lazy. They finally left for Heaven. Thank Heavens! Lilithia was glad that they were taking a carriage instead of having Satan Asiul teleport them again.

Inside the carriage, Lilithia sat across Satan Asiul. She was peeking out through the carriage window. They were flying; horned dogs with mighty wings flew them over the Phlegethon Sea. Lilitha remembered this name. She knew it too well. Phlegethon, the river of fire in Hell, yet there's no hint of fire or whatsoever. Just a salty water sea, clear and full of life — fishes and reptiles. It made Lilithia wonder what Styx looked like.

"You look awfully interested in the sea. You like water that much?" Satan Asiul asked, jokingly.

"What does the Styx look like?" Lilithia turned to Satan Asiul with bright shining eyes filled with curiosity.

She looked like a child, curious about everything.

"Shit. Why didn't I just do that?" Satan Asiul cursed. She leaned towards Lilitha and placed her palm on Lilitha's forehead while casting a chant.

"There we go."

Information about Hell suddenly flashed before Lilithia's eyes as if she had been in Hell for years already. Styx is an ocean. Inside Styx Ocean is the Phlegethon Sea. She then looked at Satan Asiul dumbfoundedly.

"This makes things easier. Now you know all about Hell and Heaven!"

Lilithia tore her gaze away from Satan Asiul and back to the window. She'd always been curious about Heaven, even when she was alive on Earth. Many of her values are based on the Bible and the teachings of the church itself. Heaven. Yes. Heaven, unlike Hell, its land was bright. Light always reaches their ground while in Hell, mostly it's smoke. They're fairly similar, but their clothes — their clothes are different. It's as if both had different cultures. It triggered her brain when she tried to remember, and it hurt like thousands of needles prickling her mushy brain.

"We're almost there," Satan Asiul said, leaning on her comfortable seat with her legs crossed and her eyes closed. Seeing how Satan Asiul was planning to take a nap, Lilithia took her ample time to observe the facial features of Satan Asiul, even knowing full well that it's bad for her heart.

Those firm jaws and toned muscles made her thoughts run wild. Just the idea of those hands creasing her body. She shuddered, her eyes filled with desire. Lilithia licked her lips, and her eyes started to dilate. A realization came, and Lilithia looked away. She couldn't afford to gamble her feelings when Satan Asiul liked someone else. She just couldn't—the mere thought of losing someone petrified her.

She feared her feelings were going out of hand. Satan Asiul had become someone too important to her, far exceeding her feelings for her past love. Her eyes found themselves drifting towards the asleep satan again.

A gentle knock disrupted her thoughts. A head poked in — it was the coachman. His gentle smile caught her off-guard.

"Well, I've never seen such a pretty lady. We've arrived at our destination," he said, his cheeks slightly pink.

"Thank you. Open the door for us, please," A voice from behind said.

Lilithia panicked inside. She hoped that Satan Asiul hadn't noticed how she'd been staring at her the whole time Satan Asiul was asleep.

The coachman got on his feet and immediately followed the satan's orders. He offered his hand to Lilithia, only to be dismissed when Satan Asiul stood up and avoided his hand. With a smile, Satan Asiul, who was now outside of the carriage, offered her hand to Lilithia, "Shall we?"
