...That same night, hours ago, Kairos stared at Devyl with anger. — You lied to him. That's not how the story goes...
...Trevis gave a smile. — I know, but I needed to create a narrative to get him away from you. Or would you rather be involved when that happens?...
...Kairos' expression grew even darker. — You had no right to lie to him...
...Trevis laughed, tapping his fingers lightly on the table. — Let me tell him the truth, then. Let him be even more disappointed and he'll be sure you two will never have anything...
...Kairos decided to sit down to calm himself. — Maybe you have a point. I was starting to take this too seriously. He's young, I look thirty-five, but I'm much older. I could be a grandfather to him...
...Trevis laughed again, but this time more softly. — Relax. Soon he'll just be a memory, and it's like you said, he's young, he's going to meet a lot of other guys or girls, soon he'll forget you too...
...Kairos found himself torn between sadness and a certain relief at hearing those words...
...— By the way, why did you come to the sanctuary two days early? — Kairos inquired, curious about Trevis's early arrival...
...Trevis seemed to momentarily forget the reason — Ah, yes! I came to tell you that Azazyel sent Fanuel here, it seems he has discovered something and wants his friend to come and check it out...
...Kairos frowned — What would that be?...
...— Two words: Menticus and Malek...
...Kairos became serious — Malek? Any news from him?...
...— No! But I bet Fanuel does, I bet he's coming to give you good news...
...— I'm a terrible…...
...Trevis interrupted him in a serious voice — It's not your fault, now shut up and stop whining!...
...Kairos lowered his head sadly — I don't know how I'm going to face Malek's mother when she finds out what happened to her son...
...Amid these lamentations, Trevis tried to cheer him up by changing the subject — Oh, by the way, I heard Abbadon is back, at least his body was found, you know, the shell…
...Kairos looked up excitedly — And why didn't anyone tell me?...
...— Maybe Fanuel will come to give you the good news too, or maybe they're not sure yet, but any minute now Azazyel himself will come to tell you personally or who knows, call you to Atlantis...
...Kairos took a deep breath, sinking into distant thoughts...
..."It's been over twenty years since those three died, and still no sign of their souls. Abbadon killed them and ended up going with them in the process," Kairos murmured, absorbed in his own thoughts...
...Trevis was getting up to leave when Kairos steered the conversation to something also serious...
...— Get me a seed from heaven!...
...Trevis smiled, he knew who it was for — You care about this guy, huh? You just met him and you already want to give him heaven. You never change...
...— Just do what I'm asking you to do, please. Don't make jokes. He's sick, and I want to help him...
...— If Azazyel finds out you're trying to give this rare seed to some random human, he's going to be pissed...
...Kairos punched the wall — Devyl, his name is Devyl. Let me deal with Azazyel. Now just get me the damn seed...
...— All right, I'd get it for you. I was just testing your temper...
...Trevis left the room, and Kairos sat down on the sofa, in the same spot where Devyl used to sit, leaning against the same cushion. He picked it up and smelled it to catch his scent, and there he slept thinking about that man he almost took to bed and would possibly never have again...
