Sera had fought tears when the Demon Lord's carriage rolled to a stop near the border. She didn't understand why she was so emotional. For all intents and purposes, the man was a stranger to her – a stranger she was engaged to and had a magical, binding contract with---
But a stranger nonetheless…
Yet here she was, feeling like she was leaving behind something that had become a crucial part of her life.
She hadn't felt like this since---
"Little Bird…?"
Kael's voice had brought her out of her thoughts. He looked at her in that way that made her feel like her soul was exposed to him.
The morning breeze tugged gently at her hair and instinctively she reached up to tug a loose strand back behind her ear. Looking around she realized that this was the part where they would part, although neither one of them seemed particularly eager to acknowledge that.
It was a beautiful place…
You'd think that this being demon land, it would be desolate, barren and dark.
But it was beautiful…
