The Forgotten Sin

2. Netherworld

A tall and Herculean male with hair, darker than a black hole; and seemingly soulless, black-reddish eyes, hugged the goddess from behind. His clothing was just as dark as his hair; A black shawl collar, button up shirt and a pair of black trousers; A pitch-black trench coat, with a gray collar. Over it all, he had a black leather belt, that held a noire and golden sheath, with a sword in it, in place. He was a swordsman.

The green grass and lovely flowers were seemingly dying around him but were still being beautiful and a lovely around the female. Resting his chin on her shoulder, while he gazed lovingly at the small child in her arms. His small smile being soft and caring, while his eyes held love, as he spoke in a hushed voice. "She is as beautiful as you are... Celestia."

The goddess let out a breath of relief, before smiling and replying with a slight broken, due to her crying, but still angelic voice. "You startled me. Kuro..." Kuro, as was the man's name, held his lover a little tighter, while he closed his eyes and breathed in her nice scent of white lilies. His voice calm and soft, as he pleaded. "Please don't cry, my love. I promise I will protect the both of you with my life."

She turned around at that, causing him to loosen his hug, before totally pulling back. But the male still had the warm and loving smile. Celestia smiled back at him, with her sweet and charming smile. She gave him their daughter. He looked a bit nervous and worried, seemingly not wanting to hold her because he was scared. Kuro was frightened, that he might hurt his little baby but the white haired female just gave him a reassuring and calming smile. His expression went back to his calm and caring self, as he held his beloved daughter closer. "She is as light as a feather."

A goddess and a demon in love; and having a child. The most forbidden thing anyone could do at that time.

Not even one year had passed...

...and the demon king had found out about Kuro's love for a goddess. Of course, that was still the worst one could do. And the demon king could not allow such a disgrace. It was that night, where Kuro gave his love one last kiss in the mortal world. He knew, if he went back to the demon realm, that he would be executed on the spot.

That year felt a lot shorter to the couple, due to how old they can get. For them, this year had felt like not even a week. His voice was once again calm, as he had a smile, even though he would just face death in less than a few minutes. "Celestia, my love... Please promise me you will not cry. For I shall forever be in your heart."

And so he went, only to never return again.
