The courtyard glimmered with moonlight and lingering World Tree energy.
Seraphina stepped closer to Kael, wings folding neatly behind her. Her presence radiated order, grace and subtle amusement.
Seraphina: I warned you, Kael. I do not hesitate.
Kael smirked faintly, eyes glinting gold.
Kael: I prefer someone who speaks clearly unlike most gods.
She tilted her head, amused.
So you admit you're intrigued
Kael leaned slightly forward, close enough for their auras to brush.
I'm always intrigued by power… and someone who can stand beside me without bending.
Seraphina's lips curved into a small, teasing smile.
Careful. That sounds dangerously like flirting.
Kael chuckled softly, brushing a strand of her radiant hair behind her shoulder.
Perhaps I am dangerous.
Behind them, the Empresses and Lyra watched in silence.
Virelya: He's actually flirting with Heaven itself.
Yunareth: And enjoying it.
Nyxara: shadows curled around her like smoke, amused.
Lyra: facepalmed I cannot I cannot deal with this.
Seraphina leaned slightly closer, resting a hand lightly on Kael's chest.
Seraphina: Then show me this danger… Kael Veyris.
Kael smiled faintly, lowering his head just enough to meet her gaze.
Only if you're prepared for everything I am.
For a moment, nothing else existed no Empresses, no Lyra, no multiverse. Just two beings testing the boundaries of power, attraction, and inevitability.
And somewhere in the distance, the World Tree pulsed softly, almost approvingly.
