His Dark Obsession by Moonlight Muse

Title of the document

There’s no light, and even with our vision, I cannot see anything.

This place is indeed empty.

I tighten my hold on Zedkiel’s hand as we walk through the emptiness, side by side. The only sound that I can hear is the Eternal God’s footsteps ahead of us and our heartbeats.

My aura is radiating off me, but it is just swallowed up by this place. Almost as if we could scream, but it would not travel.

“Kind of extreme, to put her in a place like this for simply falling in love.” Zedkiel remarks.

“She broke a divine law.” His cold reply comes.

Zedkiel is about to reply, but I give his hand a gentle squeeze, and he frowns.

‘He’s arrogant, and he grates on my nerves.’

‘He is a God. Perhaps the power has gone to his head.’ I tease lightly. Zedkiel smirks but says nothing for a few seconds before he kisses me.

‘Well, if you let that god stuff get to you, you know I know of a good way to punish you, take you to heights past heaven and then right down to earth.’

He murmurs through the link before kissing my neck.

My cheeks heat up, my stomach fluttering at his words, and I rest my head against his shoulder.

‘I’m tempted to misbehave just so I can experience that.’ I reply with a smile. He yanks me close, kissing me hard. I kiss him back quickly before moving back, feeling the glare of the Eternal God upon us.

‘He’s just jealous.’ Zedkiel remarks through the mind link.

I smile as we continue, blushing once when Zedkiel squeezes my behind.

After a short while, the Eternal God slows a little and whispers a few words in a language that even I don’t understand, and since being here, I have picked up on a few different tongues, that have come to me with ease.

A flicker of embers appears in the darkness before two towering stone pillars begin to materialise, set twenty metres apart and tower far up, disappearing into the darkness above.

I step back, watching as the engravings covering the pillars begin to glow.

Thick chains materialise, pulled taught and I turn sharply to see that in the middle of the two pillars, is a woman, suspended far up.

Her head is hanging, her arms stretched painfully on either side as the chains wrap around her arms. Her long silver-white hair covers her face, and she’ s wearing a white dress that flows to her feet.

My heart clenches at the state she’s in, and I am shocked at the fact that this is how she has been for thousands of years…

“How cruel.” I can’t help but say, my heart thudding.

“Punishment is not meant to be easy. Falling in love with someone she should never have fallen for, is the cause of this… remember that.” The Eternal God says coldly. “The price of love… it really isn’t worth it.”
