Temptations of youth

The flames covering Julie’s body burnt away the signs of old age, the wrinkles disappearing like magic and her youth slowly returning to her.

Her eyes regained clarity shortly after and were filled with emotion as they landed on Seth. A trembling smile grew on her lips as she muttered, “Good to see you, Seth.”

Seth smiled back and extended a hand toward her, helping Julie to her feet, “Welcome back, Julie. How are you feeling.”

“I’m good,” said Julie, taking his hand and slowly sitting up as Seth’s creation and destruction energies covered her body, removing her clothes and replacing them with a more proper set.

“Thank you for keeping your promise.” Julie continued, looking at her old man, still frozen in time to the side.

A clouded look appeared over her previously clear eyes, and she sighed, “Can you remove his memories of me? That would be better for everyone involved.”

Seth also looked at Saif before shaking his head and releasing Julie’s hand.
