Chapter 28 - β Cephei Aa

The distance between dusk and sunrise, the meeting between dawn and moon. The moment when the sky took on such unique colors, they didn't even seem to be of this world, the same blue sky full of white clouds, and the nightfall with the stars overhead. This happened before Shizuko and Heleno up close, and from afar before the eyes of Elizabeth, Mary, Margarida, and Dionísio.

The wind that roared at night took the form of a great bear, with its black fur and robust body. As a hunter with her symbol, Hana had difficulty staying in the heel without falling due to the wind. 

The heat wave advanced like clouds across the open sky, taking the form of a centaur with its robust body. Like a hero from Greek myth, Cassandra's hair was lifted into the air by the heat wave.

"I already know the outcome of this." Elizabeth stood up, walked over to her sister, and handed her a piece of paper wrapped around a vial of liquid. "Could you make the drink written on the paper?" She glanced sideways at the ongoing argument. "It's already paid. Cassandra said she'd give you all your salary. It's already deposited into your account."

Mary scanned the paper, and her expression changed. "Damn, I knew it." She stood up and looked her sister in the eye. "What's going to happen now? What are you planning? I wouldn't come here for free."

— Elizabeth lowered her head slightly and kissed Mary on the forehead. — My nephew is sick and cannot be cured with magic. Be grateful that Cassandra donated her entire salary to his treatment. I am grateful too, so make her drink some of the liquid from the vial. Typhon's Daemons will attack in a few days, a war of Titanic proportions will begin, and Apollo is willing to do anything to kill Typhon again.

"So that's why Dad took my sister's Aix?" A wide smile. "I'll finally have my revenge on them! But first, you need to take care of a few things."

Dionysus took his long cloak, kissed his mother, and jumped into the darkness.

The creatures began their clash, while Cassandra and Hana's weapons began to crack.

The dusk bear directed its claws toward the centaur's legs. As the centaur delivered powerful blows to the bear's face, a crack was heard. The bear, with its fangs, tried to bite the centaur's hands. A crack was heard. The centaur shifted its hips so the attacks missed. A crack was heard, and the bear stood up. The centaur spun and kicked the bear, knocking it down. Kassandra's halberd broke.

— It's over! Hana won! — The centaur continued advancing towards Hana. — Heleno, tell Cassandra to stop.

— Damn! She's in that mode again. Hold on, Hana!

Due to the pressure of the heat wave, Hana was thrown backward, her heel breaking, sending her to the ground. The hair on her body disappeared due to the heat. More than that, her body was left naked, but more than that, it was charred. Worse than her roars in her beast form were her screams of pain in her human form.

"I knew this would happen." Dionysus flapped his wings toward Hana, who was engulfed in flames. "Brother, don't cry! Don't lose control! Save her, no matter how dearly you pay!"

 The tears seen before evaporated into the air, stopped falling, Cassandra took a deep breath, and began to direct the human torch, so intensely it illuminated the entire room that had become dark after the encounter between dusk and dawn.

—I'm sorry, I'm sorry. — Cassandra let herself be burned by Hana, being engulfed in flames. —This is the least I deserve.

He struck towards her chest, causing blood to gush onto Hana's body, causing the flames to go out, and the charred body was restored from her skin to her hair as Hana lost consciousness beside Hana.

"I won! The truth was worth the victory on a silver platter!" Hana stood up naked, grabbed Cassandra, covered in burns, and blood gushed from her chest, evaporating with the touch of the wind.

— with his hand over his eyes, he stretched out his arm toward Hana. "Take my cloak." Dionysus regained his vision, revealing his tear-filled eyes. "Why did you use Phlegethon's abilities, sister? Didn't you know you would be consumed by the wrath of murderers? And to atone for your sins, you must pay with your own blood!"

— Hana handed Cassandra into Dionysus's arms and dressed her in front of him, without any shame. — Explain that to me again, RGB hair.

"Unfortunately, my mother didn't allow me to say more than that. We must get out of here before my mother throws us out." Alçou flew toward the door.

Staggering a little from her broken heel, her arm flailed, her elbow moving as she tried to put it back in place after having supported her hammer for so long. She couldn't hide her joy at having won such a difficult battle and earned the chance to win back her beloved's heart. She knew her inappropriately squeezing games made Shizuko angry and embarrassed, but Hana was happy about it; after five long years, she could anger her fiancée again.

— Are you okay, Hana?— He served as support. — What happened to Cassandra?

— He pulled Shizuko a little closer to him, pressing her naked body against him. — Let's not talk about her now.

—Of course. — She felt embarrassed by Hana's groping of her body. —Wow, it's true, we need to get out of here. How do we get out, Heleno?

— the truth, I apologize.

Heleno closed his eyes, squeezed his fingers and opened his hand again, the door that was at the top being the only point of light, he went down in front of Heleno, he was the first to leave it, behind, Hana and Shizuko.

"Oh my god, what's wrong? I'll get you one of Mary's old dresses. I hope it's not bigger than that cloak you're wearing." Marengo went to look in the room off the hall.

"I think this apron will do. It might help with the bar's sales, don't you think, boss?" Hana quickly took off her cloak and put on her apron. "I told you, this bar's going to be packed, you'll see!"

— Mary paid attention to the paper her sister gave her, while mixing the liquid from the bottle she received with something. — How old are you again?

— 19 years old, 2 years younger than Hana. — Not holding back his laughter. — In my defense, he never did anything with Shizuko that she didn't ask for or let him. Her chastity is intact, until marriage, of course. 

"How interesting! In my time, these things women did to each other would have resulted in death, but as a hero, I repealed that. Aren't I excellent?" The sarcastic smile returned to Margarida's face. "Something more excellent than my actions are your youthful curves. You're not like Mary, who has two great mountains in front of her and two behind her, but that doesn't change her statuesque beauty."

— Hana cracked her fists, glaring at Eunuch with her purple eyes. — Thank you. The protector of humans is truly a very kind being. Just for being so nice, you deserve a kiss on the forehead from me, of course. Since you're in the body of a child, I can be anything but a pedophile, I guarantee that.

— Sorry to interrupt the discussion, but my sister has a hemorrhage in her chest, like a fountain, could you help me do something?

"Give this to her, Heleno." He handed her the vial. "I didn't do anything; Elizabeth brought it. Just make her drink a little, and with the rest I'll make a drink that will completely revitalize her."

Heleno nodded. He gently caressed his sister's face. She opened her mouth and drank some of the liquid, and the wound in her chest healed. Heleno took off her top, ripped open her apron, brought out a sewing machine, and made a new top for his sister, putting it on.

"Put her down next to Amélia. The rest of you, close the store; the opening was a fiasco."
