The Mafia And The Princess Of Wands

Immortal

Max POV

I decided to wade through Purgatory which turned out to be very hot. How did Lea save me that time? And how could he recognize me among the thousands of souls hovering around here with their deafening screeches and groans?

I kept looking for Leah in there, I didn't care about the heat or the souls that attracted me. I need to find Lea and get her out of here.

My skin is burning, I think I'm gonna die before I find Lea. Now I understand why they say no one can get out of here alive.

Anthem's voice echoed me, "Max, you've been in there for two minutes. I'll soon prepare the thread of your life." Said loudly.

Time passed quickly, I only had five minutes left.

The deeper I go through Purgatory the more souls attract and claw me. It makes my body feel sore.

Lea, where are you?

I dived even deeper and I saw a soul as Lea floated,

Wush...

When I wanted to grab it, my breath suddenly choked and my whole body seemed to be burning with fire, it was very hot. I tried to grab Lea's hand, but Lea was dragged further and further away. I can't hold on anymore.

And I remembered my agreement with Anthem, if I fail to bring Leah in the time specified, then I will die. In exchange Lea will survive.

In the midst of my own battles and struggles, Anthem's voice came back, "Your time is up Max. I'll take Lea and in return I'll cut the thread of your life." Her speech.

After Anthem said that, my body was dragged down and darkness seemed to swallow me.

One Year Later

The LEa POV

"Dad, I'm bored!" My solute.

"Play with Rue or Vivi." Answer Dad.

"Can't do it, right? Vivi and Rose are married and I lost my playmate." I grumble.

"I asked you to get married too but you kept refusing. So, it's not my fault that you're bored and there's no playmates." My dad said relax.

I looked at my father in annoyance, "Daddy thinks I'm getting married after what happened to me and... Nevermind." Tukasku hurried away.

It's been a year that Max left me. If I recall that incident, I feel really upset, how stupid Max is. He survived and lived instead in my place in Purgatory. Either he's stupid or how I don't understand.

My father once said stupid and brave is indeed different thin. I don't know if Max's coming back? I've seen Anthem many times but he's asked me to forget Max.

Where can I!

For a year I could not come down to earth. However, one thing happened during this year. It should be the 25-year-old who will gain immortality, but the Sovereign hastened it for me. So that at the age of 21 years I have gained immortality on the grounds that I showed courage and true love.

I don't care that, I ask Max back to the Ruler and the answer is the same as Anthem. I have to forget it.

Until one day I asked Dad for permission to come down to earth, "May I come down to earth? I want to see a friend." Reply reasoned.

"Who? Max hasn't come back." Said Father.

I snorted in annoyance, "Indeed my friend is just Max. I'll let you go." I said and looked for my mother to ask her permission.

"No Lea." Mom replied when I stated I meant to come down to earth.

"Why?" Tanyaku.

"What are you there for? That's enough of what happened yesterday, Lea!" Tukas Mother.

"The enemy is no longer there and I'm there because I want to meet my friend. I'm not gonna mess around and look for trouble." Promise to Mom.

I fell silent and thought, "Ask your father. If you will, I will also let you come down to earth." Said Mother.

"How's Dad? Mom said that if you let me then you'd give me permission, too." This time, I seduced a little.

"Why is that? Why can't your mother decide for herself?" Ask Dad.

"Come on Dad." My request.

"Alright, but with Rue." Said Father.

"really? Thank you Dad." My heart, hugged my father and slightly mocked Anthem who shook his head at my behavior.

A few days later, Rue was called back by Father to accompany me down to earth. I don't know what I want to do down there. It's just like someone asked me to go down there.

Finally, the anticipated day arrived. Previously accompanied by the drama of the debate of my father and mother and ended with my mother who relented while grumbling, "Too spoil the child!" So said Mother.

I developed my wings, now he is stronger because for a year I have no activity so I just play with my wings flying around my own kingdom, sometimes I follow my father to the place of the Ruler. While looking for Max at the Last Court. But Max's name isn't there this year, that means Max isn't dead yet, is it?

"Now, where are you headed?" Ask Rue.

I kept walking towards Max's house, and right across from Max's house was in sight. I hastened my steps to get there soon.

"Lea, don't tell me you're looking for Max!" Tukas Rue's.

I poked my feet in annoyance, "You know what I think about every second! You can feel what I feel every minute! And you know who I expect to come see me every day, Rue!" Reply temp.

All my cries for one year that I had so well-baked, were now broken. My tears that soon turned into pearl grains began to fall.

Rue looked at me and immediately he hugged me. Without a word and without speaking, she continued to hug and listen to my cries.

After weeping, Rue collected my pearls and stored them in the small bag she always carried.

"I'll accompany you. But he's not here, Lea." Said Rue.

Rue's right, Max's house is filled with vines and weeds. With a single swing of my cane, I threw out all the weeds and wild plants.

I entered the house, still clearly remembering what happened a year ago here. I put my foot inside, and saw every room in the house. Nothing has changed.

I lifted up all the dust that covered this house. Rue helped. All the items and furniture that we have here are updated. Not until five minutes, this house is worth living in again.

"Are you going to stay here?" Ask Rue.

I nodded, "For a while yes I will settle here." I answered.

"All right then. I'll accompany you here." Rue replied sincerely.

Evening soon arrived, when Rue and I were playing snake ladder (using a real snake ladder of course, I do not like snakes ladder belongs to humans. Where cool to play it on square paper and just a piece that goes down and up.) Max's doorbell rang,

Ting.

Ting.song.

I saw Rue, "What is Max?" My toot.

"What if it's worse than Max?" Rue asked back.

Rue opened the door with a standby stick in his left hand,

"Hello, oh hi. You're Rue, right?" Ask that voice.

I looked towards the door, "Who is Rue?" My toot.

And that person recognized my voice, "Wait, is that Lea?" Ask.

Hmmm, who is he?
