The twilight hour was here. Not a single sign of life seen in a medieval looking town. Axel and Lucian were on two black horses, a cautious look on their faces. Their bodies were covered in brown robes with hoodies. The scientist and demon got off their respective horses and walked hand in hand, entering deeper into the sleeping town. The lack of life was clearly unnerving and Lucian could pick that up from how Axel was acting. They were wanted people.
This was unprecedented on Lucian's behalf. He almost felt sure and calm. A feeling he hasn't had in quite some time. The deeper they went in, the tighter the imp's hold got. He was truly afraid of what was lurking in the shadows. "Axel, relax." The demon stared into his partner's worried eyes and relaxed a bit. He was being unreasonably afraid. He sensed no life and they seemed completely safe here. "The beloved cults' plan to revive and worship Zyda is almost as far-fetched as the idea we'll stop running anytime soon." Lucian jokes, a small chuckle escaping his lips. His eyes fixed on the demonic symbol painted on the walls in white.
Axel let out a laugh of his own too. His mind is truly at ease now. They passed more abandoned cottages before finally stopping at a gothic looking church. "So many jokes up your sleeve Lucian. Bringing a demon to a church." Lucian laughed before dragging him in. The inside was a beautifully decorated science lab with three extra doors down the hallway.
"Welcome to humble abode." Lucian stated in a grand manner. Axel twirled around, his arms stretched out, a serene smile plastered on his face. He was in bliss. He and his love had this place all to themselves. An abandoned town with no one to hunt them down. Lucian placed his gloves off and poured them a glass of wine. "To our new life." He placed him in the air, a grin plastered on his face.
Axel lifted his and repeated those same words. "To a new life."
