Chapter 30
Why, why must I baby sit such an annoying, ignorant-
"What are you doing!"
"What does it look like I'm doing princess, even bad guys need some sleep..."
Yawning he shut his eye and sleep in the branches of a tree, using his wings as a sort of cushion.
"well...no one said you can sleep!"
"..."
"Okay, you asked for it..."
After a bit of chanting Lux was covered head to toe in sticky slime.
"...that's not...what it was supposed to..."
"Great! Just great, now you can't even control your magic!"
With a flap of his slime coated wings he was able to launch himself in the air...and fall right back down...
"You now what, i'm done with this, she's perfectly fine by her-argh!"
On the ground all he could do was scratch at his skin as his blood burned.
After sometime the burning stopped and he had to walk all the way to the nearest water source.
"...I'm-"
"Don't...I going to bed."

The next couple of days Elizabeth regained control of her magic, light now being the easiest to control and Lux finally resigned to his fate.
"So, can we leave this dingy forest?"
"And do what exactly?"
"...I don't know, probably help some people..."
Lux looked at Elizabeth like she was an idiot.
"You do that, I'll just watch."
And that exactly what happened, for months Elizabeth help others while Lux always had to drag her away whenever they realized she was the same race as me. After these months her magic became so strong that even Lux had a slight bit of trouble with it.
As her good ded's spread so to did her race, people became confused because on one side their was Lux, a demon, but on the other side was the lost princess who was cursed to carry the same blood as the demon, but she was still true to herself.
More then one time her father tried to ambush them and more then one time Lux ended up spending the night in pain for killing nephilim.
It was on the last day of their year long journey that Wisp returned.
"You have done well protecting her, already she had grown into a well respected woman..."
His words echoed through their mind, Lux was forced to the ground face first while Elizabeth just kneeled before Wisp, to her Wisp sounded like a carring mother.
"Yes, and it's all thanks to Lux that I had the time to grow!"
She was truly thankful to Lux even though it was his fault that she had to leave her old life behind.
"Well then Lux, you no longer need to worry about protecting her, but I shall not lift the curse that prevents you from harming nephilim..."
After lifting the curse Elizabeth and Wisp started having a peaceful conversation, and when ever Lux tried to chime in he would be stared at by both of them. At the end of the day Wisp blessed Elizabeth with a couple drops of its blood, she would be able to take one herself and gift the others to deserving nephilim.
"So...does that mean our time together has ended..."
She sounded reluctant to leave, she grown used to Lux and was able to learn a bit about his past.
"That it does princess, you no longer need protecting so that means I can just find a nice and quite place to settle..."
"So...your really leaving..."
She looked at the ground to hide her sadness, a few tears started falling down her cheeks.
Why am I crying?
"Unless..."
"Huh?"
"Unless you ask me to keep you company..."
Lux had his back turned to Elizabeth so she could see the slight bliss to his cheeks.
"Then...will you keep me company!"

And so their journey continued, they spent their time together, Elizabeth helping others without worrying about herself and Lux forced to protect her when people came after her.
She did find those worthy to carry the drop of blood from Wisp, and now they moved as one, a group of white feathered angels protected by Lux, the grey feathered angel.
He could never really forgive the nephilim for what they did to him huh?
"Liz, are you ready?"
Lux enerteted their home, Elizabeth was holding a child within her arms. She was telli n the story of their journey to their child, the first born of two angels, her wings had two colors, grey and white.
