Two months have passed. As she have expected, nothing happens every night. It's just her resting alone in his bedroom anyway, aside from her drinking his blood directly. He did not sleep once in that period, yet the people in his palace view it differently. They treat them like real couples, but alas, they are not.

Ngayon ay inaayos niya ng mabuti ang mga kailangan niyang dalahin. She's given a storage space so she didn't have to bring huge bags. It's in a form of a gold-plated bracelet, a gift from Amor Fati.

"This will be our first time travelling to the mortal world!" banggit ni Osiris.

Lumingon si Caia sa kanya. "Talaga? Maraming magandang puntahan doon kaya lang ay uunahin natin ang mga dapat gawin."

"Of course, our priority is to help and protect you, Lady Caia," sabi naman ni Claude.

Habang nag-uusap naman sila ay may kumatok sa kanyang silid. Bumukas ito at pumasok si Sienna. Her eyes are a bit sad and then walked hurriedly to them.

"I will miss you, Lady Caia! Oh, and speaking of His Grace, he is calling for you," sabi ni Sienna.

Nagtaka naman si Caia pero tumango siya. Paalis na kasi sila pero maaga pa naman kaya wala iyong problema. 'Di nagtagal ay pumunta na siya agad sa opisina ni Amor Fati. Pagpasok niya ay nakakuha ng pansin niya ang malaking lalagyan na gawa sa kahoy at isang libro sa ibabaw noon.

"Ano iyan?" bungad niyang tanong.

Binuksan ni Amor Fati ang malaking lalagyan. A black and silver colored scythe is revealed. It's an intimidating weapon, one that resembles Caia. An intimidating weapon for an intimidating lady. Although she does not once held such a weapon.

"Mathilda wanted to give you a weapon like this, since a scythe can be your catalyst to better absorb the darkness, but I insisted. I said I will make you one myself," sabi niya.

Kinuha naman niya 'yung libro. "Then this one is some light-related spells you can learn. You are an immortal now and under me, so you can use spells related to me."

Kinuha niya ang libro at inilagay muna sa kanyang space storage na bracelet. Mas interesado kasi siya sa sandata na bigay sa kanya ni Amor Fati. Kinuha niya ito at sinubukang gamitin. It's hard at first since she's not used to a long weapon. Her forte is dual-wielding mid-length swords.

"Well, a scythe links to death and darkness. Siguro naman ay matutunan ko din itong gamitin," saad niya.

"Good, and you can summon and unsummon it. That will be your immortal's weapon, and treat it like a living being," he uttered.

She tried to unsummon it. 'Di niya maiwasang mamangha. Sinubukan niya ito paulit-ulit at nang magsawa naman siya ay muli siyang tumingin kay Amor Fati. Nagulat naman siya bigla sa ginagawa nito.

"W-what are you doing?" tanong niya.

He's loosening his robes and then walked closely to her. His hands pulled his long hair from the back and revealed his neck. Then his eyes looked straight at her.

"You can't bring my blood in the mortal world inside a storage, so I am giving you one last chance to take it before you leave," sagot nito.

She heaved a sigh and tightly closed her eyes. The person in front of her doesn't feel any shame. They're just casually talking earlier then suddenly he's doing something out of topic. Para matapos na ay mas lumapit na lang si Caia at ipinaikot ang kamay sa leeg ni Amor Fati. Her fangs sunk into his neck and then she sipped his blood. She have done this many times in those two months yet she still feels flustered. When she go descends to the mortal world, no blood would be better there compared to this.

Bumitaw naman siya pagkatapos. There are traces of blood left in her lips. Pupunasan na sana niya iyon ngunit inunahan siya ni Amor Fati. Ginamit pa nito ang manggas ng damit niya. His white robe are now stained in blood.

"You're staining your own clothes," she commented.

"That is nothing. You can't go outside with that appearance." After he said that he fixed her hair and her wrinkled clothes.

"Now done, you can now go," dugtong niya.

Ngayon ay nasa isang malawak na lupain si Caia kasama sina Osiris at Claude. Unlike travelling through immortal realms, they need a huge space to descend in the mortal world. Naalala ni Caia noong una siyang makarating dito, halos maiyak siya sa sakit dahil hindi sanay ang mortal niyang katawan noon sa ganitong paraan ng paglalakbay.

Osiris and Claude uttered words and a huge portal encircled by magic circles appeared.

"You can now step inside, milady," sambit ni Claude.

Tumango naman siya at pumasok dito. Hindi katulad noon ay naging madali ang lahat dahil isa na siyang imortal. She's a demigod though so descending to a mortal world is easier than a full-blooded God that needs several processes and contact through their respective churches in the mortal world.

Sumunod naman sa kanya ang dalawa. Nagbago ang mga hitsura nito. Mas maikli ang buhok nila at wala ang halo sa itaas ng kanilang ulo. They are wearing a butler-like black suit, though those styles are what they usually wear before they come here.

"Whoa, the darkness here are no joke," sambit ni Osiris.

'Tama siya,' saad ni Caia.

They are not in their home continent but the land beyond the vast sea and the Inlicitus border. Sabi naman ni Amor Fati ay makikita niya si Noel at Addie. Sa totoo lang ay 'di niya alam kung paano nakarating sila dito.

'That must be why I don't see them,' she thought.

Bata pa siya noong huli niyang makita ang dalawa. Hindi niya sila nakasama nang matagal pero madalas silang ikwento sa kanila ng kanilang mga magulang.

"Caia! You've grown so well!"

Napalingon siya sa nagsalita. The person is her Aunt Addie and Saint Noel. Her mother said these two are bestfriends.

'But how come Amor Fati said she is Noel's consort?'

Maraming tanong ang pumasok sa isip niya pero isinawalang-bahala na muna niya ito dahil may mas importante pa siyang kailangang gawin.

"Hello, Aunt Addie and Saint Noel. By the way this is my messengers, Osiris and Claude," sabi ni Caia.

The both of them smiled and greeted the two. Nag-usap naman sila pagkatapos tungkol sa mga nangyayari sa lugar na ito at sa mga bagay na 'di nasaksihan nina Noel at Addie noon.

"Oh, and by the way I could not believe that my nephews have their partners before me," saad ni Addie at tumingin kay Caia.

Her grins shocked Caia. She's utterly surprised just how bold Addie is when speaking. Her words don't have any filter.

"How are you with Amor Fati? I heard from Noel that all that God talks to him is about you, yieee," Addie said like a child.

"W-what?" sambit niya. Her flushed face only heightened her aunt's teasings towards her.
