The sun began to set, casting a warm glow over the lands in the distance as they moved toward the hills. There they sat till the light faded into the horizon, side by side. She rested her head against him, her long dark strands spilling to one side while the wind caused them to billow in the cool breeze. Mina watched as the specks of light burned bright, hundreds it seemed, but a fire blazed among the rest. The wooden statue that had been carved in the image of the rebel leader was soon completely engulfed by wild flames, glowing cinders whirling into the dark sky like frenzying insects. It was a beautiful memorial, she told herself as she admired the flickering light till it extinguished finally. The celebration continued not long after, and it was only then that she realized just how quiet it was in the town. The jovial music that resumed and the cheers and laughter made the streets come alive again.<br/><br/>“It is,” she agreed, nearly pouting when she thought about how mundane her life was—mostly of her own doing. Kennewick threw all sorts of balls and festivals. There were games and events she could have participated in, but she was uninterested since it cut into time she spent doing . . . well, nothing. Regardless of whatever activity there was in the mortal realm, it likely paled in comparison to the wonders that existed in the nether realm. “I’m looking forward to coming back, though. I like it here.” She smiled up at him.<br/><br/>When they returned to the mansion, the two succubi were waiting for them expectantly. Mina raised a brow, noting their attire—or lack thereof. “Don’t you two ever get cold?” She smirked, only for them to completely disregard her quip in pursuit of<i>details</i>. Considering that she didn’t have very many friends, or almost none at all with the loss of Oliver, this was uncharted territory. “Details?” She repeated, feeling Syn’s hand slip away from hers after a gentle squeeze. She could only watch him go for so long, since she was quickly ushered up the steps by the two demons. Mina wasn’t sifting through Terra’s closet for nearly as long as it took her to find something decent to wear. It was much easier to find a swim suit in the succubus’ wardrobe than a pair of pants. With a robe wrapped around her, she followed the pair through the mansion, to the back of the home to step out onto the veranda.<br/><br/>They traveled down a path that led to an outdoor spa where a heated natural spring awaited them. Surrounded by tall hedges and towering stones. Mina let the robe fall away from her body, pulling her hair up and off her shoulders. “I don’t recall ever wearing something so<a class="link link--external" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FOvX4tV2.jpg&amp;hash=fcf2a46e6b49050975e129a92062c7cd" href="https://i.imgur.com/OvX4tV2.jpg" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank">skimpy</a>.” She muttered, noting how it barely covered her breasts and cheeks. “ . . . Or bright.” She didn’t usually wear very many colors, sticking to neutral or dark tones mainly.<br/><br/>“You should wear less more often. You have a phenomenal body. It’s a shame to hide it . . . from me.” Terra grinned as she watched Mina finally join them in the water. “So? How was your day?” She pried.<br/><br/>“It was . . . nice. Syn and I normally have fun together, but this was different. In a good way. He didn’t move too fast or make things weird. Well, not too weird. There was a lot of lap sitting, and that’s probably my fault.” Mina chuckled nervously. “I kind of made a joke at your expense, Cynthia. It came back to bite me, but I liked being close to him and I got to see another side of him. I’m used to seeing him as . . . invulnerable. I guess because he’s so strong, but he’s not completely without feelings.” She sighed, relaxing further since the water eased her muscles. “You were right, Terra. I might have been a little oblivious.”
