No matter what happens, once Hinaya's angelic blood will be awakened, I will always come back.
And I finally got back my powers when Hinaya's angelic blood awakened. It is all because of her love for the humans that loved her more than anything elseㅡand her strong bond to me.
I knew that the demons will come to her one day and they will kill her. It is destined. It is her fate because she was born for me. She was born to be with me.
"I am more lucky to have you, Galen." Her voice was soft. I look at her bewitching eyes and leaned close to her. Our bond strengthen when my lips touched hers. This is the last step: our first kiss will unite us. I felt my blood and my magic flowed into my veins. I feel strong even more.
"You have now accepted me in your life, Hina." I felt her power. It is overwhelming.
"I love you..." she whispered.
He is coming. I felt Timothy's presence. He is coming to us. I did not let go of her until Timothy suddenly appeared in front of us and attacked us with his sword. Before he could lay his weapon to us, I put a barrierㅡand it broke.
"Yellow roses," I called the most precious flower from my garden. One yellow rose appeared in my hand. I blew the flower and the petals scattered in the air. I used the stem as my wandㅡthe petals are following my hand's movements. I attacked Timothy with my petals and he laughed when nothing happened.
"Do you think you can kill me with a flower? Those are only stupid thingsㅡ" he thought nothing happened. He is wrong. His eyes widened when the wounds around his body opened.
"You must be very old to forget who I am," I started. "My dear flowers are simple weapons to fight against the demons. Especially the yellow roses that I am taking good care of. I can turn them into different forms and the one you have seen is the first form. The petals of the yellow rose are not just petals. They look soft and delicate but they are as strong as metalsㅡwhich is enough to cut your skin."
"Ha! You have an impressive power. I totally forgot that you are the Angel of Spring." He laugh. "Thank you for reminding me. Now I suddenly remembered everything and I am prepared to kill you."
"Then you probably remember that you cannot use your magic to me." It is because the petals has the power to drain the magic of a demon. Everybody called me special because I was the only one who received grace from the supreme deity. Only I can do that, not even the four Archangels of the heaven.
He froze and he tried to use his sword to attack me. I dodged with Hina. He do not have any magic left in his body. He cannot fight with me. Thanks to Hina. He even made me stronger.
"How can a simple flower do this to me?" I heard him mumbled. And I felt something. Some familiar presences are coming at our direction. And before I knew it, they appeared in front of us.
The four Archangels.
Timothy threw us a spiteful look and he forced himself to cast a magic. He could not.
"Oh, Galen. It is really nice to see you after five hundred years." Lesley, one of the four Archangels greeted me.
"The demon clan's third prince must have lost his mind for waking up the sleeping dog." Ares said.
"I am not a dog." I complained.
"Yeah, yeah." He nodded.
"What should we do to him, leader?" Lesley asked Apollo who was staring at Timothy.
"We will let him go." He replied before he came in front of Timothy. "Go back to your home and tell your brethrens that the angels are always prepare to erase your existence once you try to lay your hands on our clan." He never changed.
Timothy did not reply back and he flee away. He had no choice. I drained his magic and even if he had it, he will not able to survive the power of the Archangels.
"What about my family?" Hina ask.
"They are safe. Gideon saved them." Lesley answered her. Hinaya took a deep sigh.
"No need to worry about the humans. I manipulated the demon's magic and the time's already running." She added.
Now that everything settled, I took Hinaya to the place we are going to live in. In the Sky Kingdom. I told her to have some rest before going to her family. It is been over five hundred years. There are a lot of changes but my place is still the same.
"Get some rest," I said to Hina as I put her on the bed.
"Where are you going?" She looked worried and she is so cute.
"I am not going anywhere."
"Stay here," she tapped the space beside her. "Don't leave me."
She hugged me as soon as I laid beside her. I am very, very lucky to have her. I could not help but remember the first time I met her. It was Sunday. Her family went out together and she was staring at the window.
"I wish I could go with them..." she said in a small voice.
Ever since the day I was cursed, I had been seeing a lot of women like their guardian angel. Women who were depressed, to be exact, from Lorna's family. And they can only see me through their dreamsㅡin my garden.
"I feel cold..." she said again as she sat in the corner.
She is the youngest and probably, the saddest girl I have met. Something happened that made her locked herself for years inside this empty space. It was not her fault but she is blaming herself for it.
She was isolating herself. She was like a turle lost at sea. A turtled that forgot how to swim.
"Does it hurt?" I gently asked her. It is not the first time that she has seen me. It is the first time that she talked to me. "I mean your back. You do not have anything and you only sleep on the floor."
"It does not hurt." She lied. I know it hurts. I am watching her every day, every night. How can she sleep on the floor when she is such a beautiful girl?
I found her cute at our first conversation. She is bad at lying and her thoughts about me are extremely heart warming. She liked me, I know.
"I do not like bothering you."
"I... never said it." Yes, you did.
"A beautiful girl is telling me lies without knowing that I could read her mind."
I teased her because I liked her expression. I liked itㅡshe was really cute and always.
When she talked about her best friend who passed away, my heart sank like a broken ship. I never thought that hearing her telling me things about the one she used to love would cause too much pain. I know that I would always end up getting hurt but it was different when it comes to her. Something's different. I could not read her mindㅡI could not read her thoughts about me anymore. That was the first time that ever happened to me.
I was falling in love with her. The curse has never failed to make my life miserable. I was feeling something else towards Hinaya that is why I tried not to meet her in her dreams. I was confused.
And then, something popped in my mind. Hinaya is the one. She is the perfect one for me.
"Are you stupid?" She freaking cut her wrist just to see me. Crazy.
"It is nice to see you again, Galen." She said in a weak tone and she still managed to smile at me. My heart thumped.
Hinaya is really, really cute.
She would do things to harm herself just to see me. I did not like it. I do not want her to hurt herself anymore. She is so precious that deserves to be loved. I wanted to protect her and love her. I wanted to...
But it will be dangerous for her to be with me. That was the reason why I told her to forget about me. I wanted her to start a new life. I was such a stupid for pushing her away when all I wanted was to be with her.
I guess the curse and her destiny will not be able to separate us. Everything is finding a way, no matter how much I try to walk away, no matter how much I want to stay her away from danger. Until the day that I talk to the deity who cursed me. He told me everything about Hinaya and I was so happy to know that she was meant for me. I knew from the start that she was different. I did not fall in love with her because of the curseㅡwe were really meant for each other. However, part of me was afraid that Hinaya will be in danger.
She went through hardships to save me. Little did she know, her love for me was the only reason why I was saved from the cursed. She is sweet and sincere. I have fallen in love several times but I have never felt this beforeㅡtrue and greatest love.
"Galen..." she is sitting on my lap and resting her arms around my shoulders. Her family agreed that she will stay with me and we will visit them once a week. Hinaya was happy with our plan.
"Aren't you going to sleep?" I ask.
"No," she shook her head and caressed my cheek with her soft fingers. She is turning me on and I do not like this. It is too early for her. "We can sleep later."
I am a man. And the woman I sincerely love is sitting on my lap and is trying to kiss me. I can feel her body temperature rising.
"You know, you would be in danger if you continue that." She is seducing me with her lips and what I just said was a warning. But instead of getting scared, she pressed her lips against mine.
"I love you," she whispered. My heart jumped in happiness. "I love you so much."
"Hinaya, I love you more." I kissed her back and embraced her. I love her so much and I will not let anyone harm her.
