"It seems to me that your appearance has become somewhat different. The facial features changed."

"Ha, no. You just never looked at me, avoided eye contact. I seemed intimidating to you."

"I actually don't want an excessive love relationship, but for some reason I'm very happy about you and your feelings. It's hard to explain, but I suddenly felt that your vibrations were very unusual and caused some kind of blissful awe. I didn't notice this before..."

Rohen looked into her blue eyes with a happy smile and began timidly kissing her on the lips. Kamily responded to him with stormy caresses, and he showered her with tender kisses in response. Suddenly Rohen pulled back, noticing that Lariel was standing and looking at them with a dumbfounded look.

"Did you want something?" Kamily asked him without a shadow of embarrassment, turning to him.

Lariel frowned and ran out of the room, muttering:

"Nothing!"

Rohen stared at Kamily in confusion.

"Let's go to my bedroom, they won't disturb us there," she suggested and led the loving syrinx along with her.

Kamily woke up at night from the stuffiness and decided to take a walk in the cool garden. Rohen slept peacefully next to her, and she carefully got out of bed so as not to wake him.

She was walking along the paths of the garden, covered with a shawl over her nightgown, with a ball of plasma flying next to her, when she suddenly saw Lariel sitting on a bench.

"Oh, you can't sleep either?" Kamily asked, sitting down next to her.

"You and Rohen?" Lariel expressed dissatisfaction. "Did you accept his love? Wow!"

"Are you jealous?"

"Yes! I didn't think you'd give in to him. Your fourth!

"Oho-ho! Darling, I don't count your lovers."

Lariel moved closer to Kamily and hugged her tightly.

"You're not leaving me because of Rohen, are you? Do not leave me!" He hummed, burying his face in her hair. "I love you!"

"What do you suggest? See each other in secret?"

"I don't think Rohen will mind. He knows about my eternal feelings for you."

"Have I met him in previous lives?"

"These were not such dense shells when we all existed together in the Abode. Everything there is different, the needs and affairs are vary, but they looked the same in the plasma dimension."

"Interesting, but I don't remember anything."

"Gradually you will recall. Rohen will give you special powers and your memory will return to you."

***

"Lariel, why did you interfere in our relationship?" Rohen was clearly angry, glaring. "Did you think I wouldn't notice?"

"I felt lonely and abandoned. You don't spend the nights with me anymore."

"The danger has passed and now you can have fun with your friends." "But I don't want to leave Kamily."

"Naughty, don't you want to reconcile that she paid attention to me?" "How did you... seduce her? Some kind of special magic?"

"I offered you to have a baby with me, but you refused! Now you are jealous and testing my patience. I need this child, you know."

"I'm sorry... my Lord."

"You upset me not only with this: your crystal was also conceived too in her womb. How do you think I feel?"

"It happened by chance. Do not be angry!"

"I won't, but I will take your baby under my wing."

"What?" Lariel perked up. "Why do you need him?"

"It's my business what happens to him. Consider this your punishment!"

Erin noticed that Kamily spends a lot of time with Rohen and turned to his friend after a long disagreement:

"Rohen! She finally accepted you. Congratulations!"

"Have you decided not to be angry with me anymore?"

"I was under the influence of the Commander, excuse my bias. Now it is clear that you are not dangerous in any way, as Palien described. You are just like us, even if you are a Phoenix. I hope we will remain friends and have no disagreements."

"Of course, Erin!" Rohen agreed reservedly. "Consider that nothing happened. Your truth - the Commander must always be on guard. You never know, danger can lurk where you don't expect it..."

Erin patted him on the shoulder approvingly.

"How did it happen that you are having twins? Some cunning tricks? Palien couldn't share secrets with you."

"What are you talking about? No tricks! Pure love!"

"Sly guy! It is rare that anyone manages to conceive more than one child at a time. You never managed to impregnate Lariel?"

"Erin, what kind of hints?" Rohen was confused. "We are not lovers! I am his bodyguard, so I spent the nights with him. He was under a lot of stress after the kidnapping. There is no need to look after him now that the fleet has set sail."

"And I was so hoping that a spark would fly between you and my brother would please us with the first chick."

"I... actually offered, but he refused his fate and intends to leave Azaren so that no one puts pressure on him."

"Where is he planning to go, and even with his kids?"

"These are his secret plans, but I can always find him, no matter where he hides."

"Your help with my stubborn brother is invaluable. Palien promised to return in fifteen years to retrieve the herm to send to Xantari. Can you stop this?"

"Don't doubt! If he considers me an enemy, so be it. The choice is yours - which side are you on? In this case, I advise you to maintain neutrality between me and the Supreme Power. I don't want to brag, but no matter how invincible the ancient Archons may seem to you, they will lose if they fight me."

"It's amazing how confident you are in your abilities, Rohen. I still don't understand who you are. The Lord... of the warrior Realm? Where is it?"

"In the plasma dimension. There is no access there without invitation to anyone except the Gods."

"So you are the God, Rohen?"

"Kind of... The God of War. Destroyer... Protector of the Gods and their Creations."

"From whom?"

"From the Fallen, Darkness such as the Zyrux."

"So you were invited to join us?"

"You can say this... I have to win the war."

"Why didn't you tell me right away? Then there would be no conflict with Palien and me."

"It's not so simple, Erin. I don't do this for free."

"Will there be any indemnity required?"

"Certainly!"

"Power over syrinxes?"

"I'm still thinking how the Source would pay! Time will show. Gradually I will reduce all enemy resources to nothing, but this is not so fast due to their large number."

"This will require inexplicably colossal strength and power!" Erin admired with restraint.

"Exactly! Therefore – it is not for free!"
