  The bass thumped through my bones.I closed my eyes and moved to the beat of the music.Suddenly I felt hands come down on my hips from behind.My mouth twisted into a smile as I opened my eyes.The hands turned me around in one swift movement and in the next instant Samael was standing in front of me.The dim, flickering light with the strobe effect made his features appear hard and angular, but he too smiled.He took my hand and pulled me into the kitchen after him.To be at home here still felt a bit strange, but slowly I got used to the modern furnishings, running water and, above all, electricity.

  When I came to, my head was pounding and my entire body was in pain.I opened my eyes and blinked around.It was light, too light. I pinched them tightly and rubbed the closed songs with the back of my hand.The force it took to raise my arms seemed enormous to me."Kate!" I knew that voice.It belonged to a woman ... Who else was it?I couldn't place them, although I was sure I'd heard them many times.“Oh Kate, you are awake!Everything okay?Do you need something?Maybe you want a drink? ”I knew that voice ... My brain didn't seem to be able to really work yet, so I decided not to overwhelm it and only to answer the questions first.What to drink would be good.My throat felt sore and dry.I opened my mouth, but only a hoarse croak came out.The woman understood anyway and a glass was held to my lips.Cool water mois

  It was warm, no it was hot.Unbearably hot.The sun beat down on me mercilessly.For a moment I felt like I was back in the desert.Or am i in hellIs there anything like that at all.I had to squint against the blazing light.I blinked and tried to see something around me.There was nothing there.Slowly my eyes got used to the light conditions and the light wall around me took shape.Still, not much changed, because all around me was barren stone and sand.As far as the eye could see.I was in the middle of a stone desert that stretched to the horizon and probably even further.How could anyone survive here?Or was I wrong?Wasn't that the place Charodon was banished to?&

  When Samael woke me it was still dark and I shivered as I crawled out of my bed.I was suddenly awake when I realized what the day meant.Today everything would be decided.Breakfast was just as tight as yesterday and I had to force myself to choke down a few chunks.My hands were shaking incessantly and were evidence of my insecurity, which I would have preferred to hide.Even if I pissed myself in fear, the others didn't have to have huge doubts about me.Samael grabbed my trembling hand and squeezed it gently."Relax yourself.You can do it, ”he whispered to me so that only I could hear him.It was only a small gesture but it helped a little so that I could lead my horse at least halfway calmly.It was slowly getting lighter, but the sun was hidden behind a thick cloud cover.The clouds

  I really hadn't missed a bit of sitting on the wobbly back of a dromedary.When I opened my eyes this morning, Samael was gone.The place next to me was still warm, but I couldn't see it anywhere.A familiar uncertainty and fear immediately spread in my stomach.This feeling got stronger and stronger until I finally saw him in the dining room.Contrary to my fear, he didn't ignore me this time.He looked up and smiled when I entered the room.The knot in my stomach dissolved and was replaced by a pleasant tingling sensation.I couldn't help but smile, but didn't try to grin conspicuously, after all, today was a serious, important day.

  My body seemed to be on fire.Everything tingled like electrified and all hairs had straightened up.I knew deep down in my mind that I should push Samael away.I was easily drunk and he was drunk.It didn't mean anything to him, but it would be painful for me.I would be the one to suffer.But I just couldn't.On the contrary.When his lips touched mine, my arms rose by themselves and closed around his neck.I ran my hand through his soft hair and buried my fingers in it.Some of his tension took away a lot from him.Maybe he expected that I would push him away.His tongue lightly touched mine, and my brain stopped working.There was only him left.His lips on mine, his hands s
