Shimmering black scales with inner shades of pale blue shimmered from within the fog. A pair of large blue eyes with vertical slits glowed, countless particles shifting within them.
The eyes slowly moved forward, but they suddenly vanished as Evangeline walked out of the room.
Maximilian's breath caught in his throat, his eyes never leaving her ethereal form.
Her straight black hair, with inner shades of blue, swayed with every step. A faint smile rested on her naturally pale red lips, while her enchanting eyes narrowed at him in happiness.
Every part of her made Maximilian skip a heartbeat.
"Vivi..." he murmured, moving towards her.
"Congratulations on reaching the Celestial Realm," he said, a hint of awkwardness in his voice as he struggled to meet her eyes.
"Thank you, My Lord," Evangeline said in her beautiful, soft tone that made Maximilian flinch. He had been longing to hear her sweet voice.
