My Mage System

Atlas then smirked and took the magic bag from him and he thanked him again before closing the door to their suite.

Solomon went back to Sora's suite, but now that he knew she was okay and was looking at the memories of her little boy, he was reluctant to stay.

He was still worried, but he wasn't sure if Sora would enjoy his company when she woke up... maybe she'd rather be alone after viewing her son's memories.

Solomon walked over to the side of the bed where Sora was and he placed on the nightstand another magic bag identical to the one he had just given to Altas.

Then he sat on the edge of the bed and he took Sora's hand in his.

Of course he wanted to stay with her, he had dreamed of this moment thousands of times, he caressed her wrist gently where the marks of the chains she had worn for 17 years were imprinted in her flesh and the hatred he had felt for this King that Axel had killed, turned then against these 2 Goddesses.

Because of them, their world had known calamities and hundreds of thousands of them had perished.

He had known nothing but war since he was born and the only chance he had was to have a great and loving family, and all the suffering that the people he loved had undergone was because of these 2 Goddesses.

So now that he had just been given permission by his King to go and fight them and their army, he was determined to get revenge and he would make them pay dearly for attacking their world.

He leaned in a little, enough to whisper in her ear, "Sora, my Queen, I'm sorry but I won't be able to spend as much time with you as I would like...

Darling, I will make them pay for everything you have been through, you have my word."

He then straightened up and kissed the hollow of her wrist that had been bruised by the chains.

And as he had just gotten up to leave the room, Sora seized his wrist abruptly and they looked at each other.

Solomon immediately sat down next to her and he asked her worried because Sora was still very pale: "Sora, how are you feeling? Do you need anything?"

A tear then rolled down her cheek which broke Solomon's heart and she said in a weak voice: "Don't leave me… Stay with me, please?"

Solomon nodded right away and told her: "I'm right here, I won't go anywhere until you tell me to leave, okay?"

Sora then looked at him and she asked him shyly: "Can you lie down beside me, and hold me in your arms?"

If he can…?

The woman he desperately loved had just asked him to lie down beside her and hold her in his arms and she really thought he was going to say no.

Solomon then stroked her cheek tenderly where her tear had fallen and he asked her: "Before I lay down beside you, is there anything you need?"

Sora shook her head and perhaps unconsciously, she still held his wrist tightly as if she was really afraid he would leave.

Solomon then motioned for her to move over a bit and he lifted the blanket slightly before joining her.

Sora had asked him to hold her in his arms and he didn't want there to be a blanket between them.

He knew perfectly well that she was sad and shaken by the death of her little boy and this opportunity might never come again.

So for once he was going to take advantage of the situation, and he wanted to feel the warmth of Sora's body against his.

Sora came of her own to snuggle in his arms and he stroked her hair and back without saying anything, cherishing this moment.

Sora after a while finally moved away from him and she said a little embarrassed: "I heard what you said earlier... But I don't understand..."

Solomon then stroked her cheek tenderly and he asked her in his deep and hoarse voice: "What don't you understand Sora?"

Sora then asked him looking him in the eye: "How are you going to make them pay for what they did to me... They are Goddesses and..."

She then showed him her wrist and said to him: "I know very well how powerful they are."

Solomon smiled sadly at her and he kissed her wrist again, looking at her, before saying: "I know… I won't be the one to kill them, because I'm not powerful enough, but the Warrior Spirits have just agreed to let us go to war with them so we can fight alongside them.

Only the demons who have managed to activate their demonic aura can accompany them and after tomorrow we will start training with them.

That's why I won't be able to spend as much time with you as I'd like... Darling."

Sora had just confessed that she had heard him so he didn't have to hide his feelings for her anymore, and he didn't know if he would come back alive from this war but if he did come back then...: "Sora, I love you, I love you so much... I have loved you for a very long time."

As she didn't say anything he continued: "I've been looking forward to this day when you'd be free again, I'd hoped to have time to court you and maybe seduce you... But there is an even greater threat hanging over our world, and every demon, man and Shapeshifter who can go into battle can make the difference between victory and defeat.

More than to get revenge on these Goddesses, it is my duty to go and fight."

Sora then sighed and she said to him : "I understand better now... But if it's your duty to go and fight, then you won't go alone, I want to fight too !"
