The Devil's Love

"Let me get this right," Adriel spoke, picking up the cup of tea in between his palms and clasped them tightly, reminiscing the words thrown at him by Lithius and Angelo. "You want me to lend my body to Ansel's soul so that she can return back on Earth." 

"Do I have to put it in fancy sentences, Adriel?" Lithius questioned, glaring at the younger who had been asking for confirmation for the sixth time. "It's a simple answer, yes or no." 

"You practically threaten to put me in trials if I said no, do I even get an honest say in this?" Adriel teased, sipping onto the tea carefully. "But, jokes aside, I am willing to help. She is just a normal human tangled up in an unwanted mess just like my poor Felix before. So, when can we start?" 

"The minute you are ready. For the past two days, we managed to recollect all her broken souls. Everything should be in order. Her soul is at Males' residence," Angelo mused, facing Adriel who now had tattoos on his neck. "I will call out to her and Lithius will guide her among the dimensions so that she can find the path to your body. As for your soul, we are going to keep it safe and sound." 

"Which means, my body is going shelter two souls. One is mine and one is hers. Am I right? Or are you planning to relocate me?" Adriel questioned, standing up from his seat to smoothen out his leggings. 

"No, we are not," Lithius answered. "We need you to let her soul into your body like a catalyst. Your powers hold the universe's magic so it does not send her soul into an immediate shock when we transfer her soul back to her body on Earth. She has been residing too long in our part of the world and if this is not done carefully, she could lose her sanity by the time she is back." 

Snowbreaker stomped her feet at the mention. Her eyes turned sharp like a predator. Angelo rushed to her side to calm her down, assuring the creature that everything is going to go well. 

"She's not a fan of broken things, is she?" Adriel asked, sitting himself down on the ground that face Halion's magnificent waterfalls. "I'm ready." 

Sitting in front of him, Lithius chuckled. 

"Definitely not. Snowbreaker has a mind on her own. I could say she is very protective of Angelo and what is his, including Ansel," Lithius assured, placing his palms on Adriel's and a strong wave of magic surged between their palms. "I will guide you to the dimension, just relax and do not fight her when Ansel finds the door." 

"What in the world did I do that I am always mingling among messes like this," Adriel sighed with a smirk on his lips, nodding at Lithius' words. "I won't lose her. For Angelo's sake." 

Angelo stood next to Snowbreaker. He watched purple magic danced gracefully around the angel and guardian of the Planets. Their magic held a different aura from any others. It's vast like the solar system but limited to a certain length. If stretched too far, they could ruin themselves. Heading towards the table, Angelo saw Lithius' magic whirling across the dimension towards Males' sanctuary. Fingers clasped together, Angelo prayed silently for everything to go according to the plan. Once the purple dust disappear, he headed over to Snowbreaker, palms at the side of her cheeks, forehead onto each other and Angelo allowed the creature to consume his soul, to guide him along the path Lithius had created.

A bright light blinded the environment. The long streak of pathways formed inside the cosy environment. Ansel rose, watching the sparkling lights curiously till Males shielded her from her sight. He stood tall in front of her, palms tight to his side. Curiosity took over her as she popped her head from the side to see who it was. Two figures appeared, eyes lingering around and when they met Males, a courteous bow was formed. From behind, Ansel could not make out who they were. She had not seen them before, yet the conversation struck between the three seemed to be focusing on her when the shortest kept pointing towards her, explaining towards Males that they needed her together with them. The angel did not budge from his spot till Angelo had appeared from behind, gaining Ansel's attention immediately.
