Chapter 359: Demon Realm onward
The morning sun streamed through the bathroom window, casting long, dancing shadows on the tiled floor. Orpheus, still feeling the lingering effects of the night before, moved slowly as he stepped into the shower. The warm water soothed his aching muscles, washing away the remnants of the previous night’s revelry.
Nemesis and Luna joined him, their laughter echoing in the small space. They splashed and played, their bodies glistening in the sunlight. The shower, a brief respite from the exhaustion of the night, left them feeling refreshed and invigorated.
As they dried off, Orpheus suggested they should make breakfast. The women, their energy slowly returning, agreed. The kitchen was soon filled with the familiar sounds of sizzling bacon and the clinking of dishes. Orpheus, his culinary skills honed by years of practice, moved with ease through the kitchen. Nemesis and Luna, assisted, their laughter and banter filling the air.
The aroma of freshly brewed coffee, toasted bread, and sizzling bacon filled the house, creating a tantalizing invitation. The table was soon set, the spread a colorful and inviting feast. As they sat down to eat, the women couldn’t help but smile at the memory of the previous night. It had been a wild and unforgettable experience, a testament to the depth of their love and passion.
After breakfast, Nemesis wished good luck to both Orpheus and Luna on their travel. She prayed for their safe return with her father. Quickly, she departed.
Orpheus changed into his disguise, a butler uniform. On their way to the demon realm, he would disguise as Luna’s bodyguard as she returned to her family’s estate, the Morningstar’s duchy.
Luna and Orpheus, whose face was now dull with gray hair and brown eyes, departed for one of the nearest city housing a teleportation portal.
Eversa was a bustling city, its streets teeming with people of all walks of life. The city was a melting pot of cultures, with merchants from far-off lands selling their wares in the bustling marketplace. The architecture was a mix of ancient and modern, with towering skyscrapers standing side by side with historic buildings.
Orpheus and Luna made their way through the city, Orpheus carrying Luna’s luggage. They navigated the crowded streets, dodging pedestrians and weaving through the maze of shops and stalls. Finally, they arrived at the teleportation portal, a large, circular platform surrounded by intricate carvings.
The portal shimmered with an otherworldly glow, its surface rippling like water. As they stepped onto the platform, they felt a surge of energy as they were transported to a new location. The world around them blurred and distorted, and then, with a blinding flash of light, they were gone.
Nestlea was a coastal city, its sprawling streets lined with colorful buildings and vibrant shops. The city was a bustling hub of activity, with sailors, merchants, and travelers from all over the world. The harbor was a sight to behold, with dozens of ships of all sizes bobbing gently in the water.
Among the ships were several gigantic flying vessels, their hulls gleaming in the sunlight. These vessels were marvels of engineering, their sails stretched like wings, propelling them through the sky. They were adorned with intricate carvings and colorful banners, their appearance both majestic and imposing.
Orpheus and Luna made their way to the harbor, their eyes wide with wonder as they gazed at the flying ships. They found a small inn near the waterfront and checked in, their excitement building as they anticipated their journey across the Black Sea.
The flying ship, Betty, was a marvel of engineering. Its hull was sleek and aerodynamic, its sails stretched like wings. As Orpheus and Luna boarded the ship, they were greeted by a friendly crew who showed them to their cabin.
From their cabin window, Orpheus marveled at the sight of the city below. Nestlea seemed to shrink as Betty ascended into the sky. Soon, the city was just a speck on the horizon, and the vast expanse of the Black Sea stretched out before them.
The Black Sea was a dark and mysterious body of water, its surface a deep, inky black. As Betty soared above the sea, Orpheus couldn’t help but feel a sense of awe. He thought about how far humanity had come in two thousand years. From primitive tools to flying ships, humans had truly accomplished incredible things.
As Betty continued its journey, Orpheus and Luna settled into their cabin. They looked out the window, watching the sea below. The waves crashed against the shore, creating a rhythmic symphony that filled the air. Orpheus felt a sense of peace wash over him as he watched the sea. It was a beautiful and majestic sight.
The deck of Betty was a popular gathering place, offering a panoramic view of the Black Sea. As the sun began its descent, casting long shadows across the water, Orpheus and Luna joined the other passengers on the deck.
Orpheus stood behind Luna, his posture erect and his expression serious. He played the role of a butler to perfection, his every movement calculated and precise. Luna, dressed in a flowing gown, leaned against the railing, her gaze fixed on the horizon.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, the sky was painted in hues of orange, pink, and purple. The sea, too, seemed to change color, its surface shimmering with a thousand shades of blue and green.
Orpheus and Luna stood in silence, enjoying the beauty of the sunset. The other passengers chatted and laughed, their voices a distant murmur. But for Orpheus and Luna, it was a moment of peace and solitude. They were alone, lost in the beauty of the world around them.
They journey toward the demon realm had just begun.
The dinner bell rang, signaling the start of the evening meal. Orpheus and Luna made their way to the dining hall, which was adorned with elegant tablecloths and shimmering chandeliers. The aroma of delicious food filled the air, enticing their appetites.
As they sat down at their table, they were served a sumptuous feast. The dishes were beautifully presented, a colorful array of flavors and textures. There was roasted chicken, a platter of fresh seafood, and a variety of side dishes. For dessert, they were offered a selection of pastries and fruits.
Orpheus and Luna enjoyed their meal, savoring each bite. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was pleasant. They chatted with the other passengers, learning about their lives and their journeys.
As they finished their meal, Orpheus and Luna felt a sense of satisfaction. The dinner had been a delightful experience, a welcome break from their long journey.
