"Why did you give her powers?" Kamily was indignant. "Now Lariel is crazy about her. Did you do this on purpose so that he would switch his attention to her?
"I need an assistant to transform Xantharian society so that the aristocrats are dependent on her seductive energy and obey her. Without protection it is impossible to survive among powerful magicians. Already on the first day of initiation they tried to execute her, but her superpowers helped her stay alive, and at the same time I checked how ruthless the Rulers are. I didn't think about the fact that your Lariel would stick to her. They both benefit from the exchange of energies, there is no need to worry about their mutual passion, they are both so happy."
"Why didn't he give me such powers? I also want to take part in the liberation movement," Kamily was indignant.
Rohen shook his head negatively.
"No! Never! I don't want to risk you, my love. You can not expect anything nice from the Rulers. I was able to neutralize one of them with the new love feeling and transformation, and this is also your merit, but I still have no idea what to do with the rest. You know how invulnerable and cruel they are."
"Did they try to burn you too?" - Kamily was horrified.
"No!" Rohen chuckled. "They didn't ! They want to take a break from the war, and I am their only weapon for non-contact destruction of a huge number of enemy forces. In this sense, they are happy with me and are ready to tolerate all my tricks. They think that the Source is having fun and perceive everything that happens as a joke."
"But it's no joke to burn the princess! And you can't deprive them of this ability?"
"This magic power has made their bodies. I will have to completely destroy the Rulers if they do not reconcile with my Power."
"Are you capable of killing the Archons?"
"Yes! The ancient Phoenix can destroy anything and any creature to zero."

Adivaris looked with adoration at the Goddess of Freedom, who was deep in thought on a bench in the fragrant garden. Being with her for weeks and jumping through the towers of the aristocrats of Illuria, he became accustomed to a very busy life and dangers. They visited many harems and rescued from captivity many mortal girls who were not happy with their fate, holding proactive conversations with representatives of the elite - not to persecute the humans anymore.
They had to act quickly, before the arrival of agents who meticulously monitored the outbreaks of supermagic. Each master's will was crushed by Goddess's power, and they fell at her feet, begging for forgiveness.
The Archons tormented each other, unable to find a solution on how to catch and punish the invulnerable troublemaker and her partner.
Adivaris liked his dangerous mission and his former sadness and remorse no longer bothered him. The only thing that haunted him was his all-consuming love for Avilena and the desire to possess her.
She pretended that she did not notice the feelings of her assistant at all, but he continued to cast glances at her, full of hope for reciprocity, not daring to admit.
"Do you know why Neylira didn't accept your love?" Avilena thrilled him with such an unexpected question. "You tried, took care of her for a whole year, and she stubbornly rejected you. She was a princess in previous life and was executed by the Archons for disobedience. Her soul received severe trauma, and she decided not to be born among syrinxes again. You were her chosen one, her name was Luanlia."
"I know, but I couldn't tell her about it. I waited for her to remember and repent of her past. But one day you burst into my life and turned everything upside down. I really like you, Avilena..."
She raised an eyebrow at his unexpected confession and noted calmly:
"Well it is clear. The impact of my power does not leave anyone indifferent."
She sighed heavily and added:
"I have no shortage of masculine energy with two husbands and I'm into Lariel. But I appreciate your feelings for me, and you can show how you know how to love."
His face lit up with a joyful smile.
"Is it true? I have a chance?"
Adivaris lifted her from the bench and began to kiss her tenderly, taking her into his arms.
Suddenly he discovered that Avilena had moved with him to a flowering meadow with huge red flowers and azure grass.
"What kind of place is it?" He looked around in fear, not letting go of her hands. "This is the familiar pink sun..."
"Romantic, right? This is an exoplanet where syrinxes live. One year's journey from Xantari. I sometimes jump here to relax from everyday work. Bright and festive, don't you think?" Avilena looked warmly into his eyes.
"Got it! This is Yaushta! And the Star Saphim. I've been here many times for bloody battles. This planet has always been the most susceptible to attack for the last five hundred years. A lot of Syrinxes died in fierce fighting with the Zyrux. I was also killed once here."
"Oh, sorry, it must be unpleasant to be on Yaushta again? And when was this battle?"
"A long time ago, but in this life," Adivaris grinned. "We seem to have gotten distracted."
He looked at her voluptuously and continued his caresses. Avilena felt his soft, enveloping energy penetrating through his kisses into her chest. As if a bird flapped its wings, its trembling feeling of happiness burst out. He caught it with his sigh and began to breathe quickly, reveling in this moment.
His eyes sparkled dazzlingly in the approaching dusk.
"So we just started, and you're already in ecstasy," she giggled.
"But this is not ecstasy yet," he laughed in languor, holding her hands.
"And its anticipation. Be patient, I'm in no hurry."
"Oh, Avilena..." he whispered enthusiastically. "How divine you are!"
