He couldn't believe what he was seeing. All the time he had spend with her, all the things they had gotten away with in this life… he was almost sure that the cycle was nearing its end. But he had gone to far, he had pushed her limits to long and now with the one act that was supposed to bring them together forever it would instead rip her away from him. He couldn't help himself. As much as he wanted to be strong for Lucinda he let out mournful groans and clutched to her clothing and shook his head in disbelief.

"Luce please don't leave me. Not now! Lucinda-" He howled but when he looked into her eyes he saw that she was already gone, they were wide and hallow as if the soul had already left him for the first time. Daniel shook his head and stood up. He lifted his head and looked pasted the flames and out the open window atop to near wall. His eyes scanned past the moon as if to look heaven straight in the face.

"Are you happy now! I have completed my punishment! If she is going, I beg you! take me with her. I have been through enough!"

"Daniel…"

"Are you not a God of Mercy, show some on me and end my suffering!" Daniel fell to his kneels besides Lucinda and gripped her burning skin, the flames surrounded her whole body now and he was sure that at any moment she would be gone forever. He let his hands get engulfed in the flames, as much as it hurt though..He would not get to go with her. She would die soon and he would be here…alone.

"Daniel…" It was a whisper, suddenly coming from Lucinda. He lifted his head and met her eyes through the flames. Never at the end of any of her lives had he heard her whisper. Normally her deaths were filled with tortured screams of pain and suffering. But now she seemed calm..was that a smile.

"Yes, Luce-what can I do.." He found what seemed to be her hands and gripped tightly to them. He didn't even whence at the pain his hand was feeling.

Lucinda's big beautiful eyes met his.

"Finish the deed…" she muttered.

"What?"

"Do it now hurry." She repeated.

"What-Luce- no way your in to much pain as it is if I do that, surely-"

"I I won't let myself leave this world without connecting with you..its just as you said, no one can take that away from us."

Daniel hesistated.

"Please" she said silently and the look in her eyes told him he had to. And that was all it took. He lifted his body above her flaming flesh and gripped her hands tightly. He didn't know how his shaft remained stiff through this horrifying experience but it had. As if his body hadn't given up when his mind had. He looked her in the eyes as he slowly pushed himself into the opening of her mortal sex. As soon as he did she let out a painful scream. He looked up to her face to see that the flames had increased and yet her whole body shook with pleasure. He squeezed her hands tightly and pushed gently through the walls until her hemun had broke and a small trickle of her blood dripped on his shaft.

The whole act was the most beautiful, painful act he had ever imaged. As there body's burned together and he thrusted in her he tried his best to pleasure her so much that the pain was masked. She moaned and shrieked as his shaft filled her and he's lips trailed across her burning body. His lips moved to her neck and he could feel her soul melting into his, her body started shaking and he was sure she was near her orgasm with also met it was near the end.

He thusted even harder, almost wanting to hurry it along rather then make her suffer. The screams got louder and louder and body their bodies were so shooken with pleasure and excitement that the pain of the burns was almost numbed completely.

"Oh Daniel!" Lucinda cried as she orgasmed. Her walls clamped down along his bulge giving him his own release. He closed his eyes and growled a deep satisfied growl- only to lower his head and find a pile of ash. Lucinda was gone. And he'd never see her again. Daniel Dropped to his knees and ran his hands over the pile of ash and let out a mournful cry.

He didn't sense it tell know but Daniel and Lucinda hadn't been alone. Cam dropped down into flame-infested cabin and grabbed Daniel by the shoulders and lifted him into the air. His wings were on fire and his whole body scorched. But Daniel took the pain and even resisted as Cam tried to toss him in the sea. He cried and yelled at him telling his former brother to let him suffer. That maybe god would kill him then and show him peace from his pain. But instead Cam lowered himself into the water so that Daniel had to get wet and soon the fires were out.

"Well that was - Hot- wasn't it" Cam started after they sat in the water in silence for awhile. It was supposed to be taken as a joke but of course they both know Daniel couldn't laugh anymore. Instead Daniel closed his eyes and lowered his body into the water...
