As they began walking on that carpet of flowers, a beautiful song began to play, which was called "Elysium and belonged to an Elysia musical band." When both arrived at the table where the priestess was to receive them, it was the turn of Michael and Smarald to enter, because, according to tradition the groomsmen, entered after the bride and groom, holding in their hands symbolic gifts to bring good fluids; both wore light green clothes to distinguish them from the betrothed. The gifts, which the groomsmen carried, were: loaves to make an apology by force of the earth, scented water to send to the water, incense sticks to the air and a candle lit to the fire, thus bringing the four to the ceremony, the four key elements of nature. The ceremony was precious, lasted almost an hour, and as it was about to end, the priestess gave the blessing by telling the bride and groom that they were united by the p
While Smarald took care of the task Michel had assigned her,he had already arrived at the hospital, and unfortunately the news wasnot good; "His father had passed away." According to the doctor, sometime ago his father had already had a heart attack, but after reviving andmedicating him, he could lead a normal life. – Unfortunately, yesterday did not happen the same thing, because,after struggling, when we tried to revive him, your father did not reactthe same way and we had to transfer him to the hospital through amobile ICU and, as soon as the vehicle entered at the health center, yourfather could not resist, giving his last breaths – explained the doctor. After receiving all the medical records from the hospital and thedetailed explanation from the medical staff who attended him, Michaelcalled in the insurance, which took care of the coffin and the transportof his
A month passed, and Leonor's efforts to try to help her were futile,because Smarald had not changed her attitude; on the contrary, sheseemed to be increasingly distant, as if her thoughts were elsewhere.There were times when her gaze seemed lost, as if she had memories ofpast times. Indeed, Leonor's perception was not misguided, Smaraldkept thinking about Michael and, through her thoughts, rememberedcertain unforgettable moments, when they almost kissed in the pool, thefirst kiss, when they took the first walk alone, when he bandaged herhand and when she was resurrected through the powers of her belovedand finally when she learned of the sad reality that her love was anArchangel. Whenever Smarald reflected on this, it was as if gradually herimmortality was being consumed. She was totally distressed, notknowing what to do; she felt helpless in the face of such a situa
The next day, as soon as his cell phone alarm rang, Michaelwoke up and noticed that Smarald was not by his side. He thought shewas doing something and decided to take a shower. After a pleasantshower and almost ready for a new day, he noted that there was anenvelope at the head of the table. Before reading, as soon as he touchedit, he had a bad feeling. On it was written by hand: “DEAR MICHAEL” As soon as he opened the envelope and began to read the letter, hefelt an immense sadness that flooded his soul. On it was written: – As I explained earlier, our love is impossible because it isincompatible with our destiny. I know you don't believe it, but over timeyou'll h
Suddenly, Smarald used her power and led her friend to analternate reality, knowing that no one could follow her or listen to her.When Leonor saw her attitude, she realized that it was compromisingtheir reputation, but especially Vlad's daughter. Maybe it could evencause instability in the vampire clan. As she'd promised she wouldn'ttell anyone and wouldn't break her promise, Smarald was revealing thereason for her pain, and Leonor couldn't believe what she was hearing.How her friend fell in love with an Archangel! Worst of all, why hadshe given herself to such an absurd love, knowing the terribleconsequences it could suffer. This made her totally shocked andperplexed, because she did not understand why her friend had not triedto avoid this catastrophe. Already, on the other side of the world, Michael had already founda replacement for Sandra a
As soon as Michael and Sandra disembarked at the airport, theytook a taxi and stayed at an inn called “B&B Angela”. As they hadpreviously planned, they would rest a whole day before venturing intothe cave of St. Michael Archangel. After a good night sleep, as soon asthey both woke up, they had breakfast on the porch. The view of theGulf of Manfredonia was breathtaking, the place was cozy because,although simple, it contained all the comforts of modern life, even theinternet, which would be of great help in finding out the details of thecave history. As they rested from their journey, they were able to search in detailthrough the tablet they would pass until they reached the sanctuary;Michael even reviewed the story told about what happened on MountGargano to find something that might help him. After one day,recapping all the information, they both pac
Michael tried to react, but the current was very strong, and even ifhe could swim, he would be dragged. He swallowed water and, as littleas he could see, noticed that there were several submerged tunnels, butunfortunately, due to the circumstances, he could not choose which oneto follow. The current carried him through the winding path, crashinginto the underground walls, and in one such stroke he lostconsciousness. Luckily for him, the current took him into a kind ofpond, taking him inert to the water's edge. Meanwhile, Sandra remainedin St. Michael Archangel's cave, worried about her friend'sdisappearance. Meanwhile, in Romania, Smarald continued to behave strangelyand seemed worse, for there was a time when she fainted and, in fullmoons, disappeared from the castle without explanation. Vlad had beenwarned by a demon for some time that there was
In that instant, he had only one certainty: he had to save her, but todo so he had to reject those negative thoughts that were weakening him.For the first time, in an unconscious way, he tried to contact his innerpower, recalling all the advice given previously, to awaken the gift hehad been given. For a while he tried to interact with his spiritual energyhe had heard so much. Gradually it was succeeding. First, he was ableto channel his life force, and the more that strange energy grew withinhim, a strange light radiated around his body providing him withphysical comfort, but as his powers and knowledge evolved, that energygrew, and the light around him intensified, thus transmitting a sense ofself-confidence, while a superior rational understanding made his spiritprogress, transcending and reaching his astral level. When thishappened for the first time, he could distinguish one Smarald from the
After a long trip home, both Michael and Sandra arranged tomeet the next day to continue what they had agreed earlier on the trip.After leaving his friend at the door, he left to the farm. While Michaelwent on his way, Sandra, upon entering her house, met Cassius, whomshe was received with a tender kiss; after she told him about the trip toItaly and the success of her mission. She also mentioned what they wereintending to do, but as she recounted the details, she realized that afterthis warm reception her husband appeared to be concerned. – What's happening with you? I see you apprehensive – saidSandra. – It's nothing with me, but I've learned from other sources thatinside the vampire clan is a traitor, and that our vampire friend wasbehaving strangely. By the way, Sandra, do you know of any extraevents? – insisted Cassius, all concerned. – No. Michael
