Hell is empty and all the devils are here.
—William Shakespeare, The Tempest
The valley of the shadow of death
I can't believe these guys are dying over and over again. Like they would be in a never ending vortex of existence. It must be tiresome for them. Not to mention me...
"I’m in love with your strength. I’m in love with your determination, the way you never ever give up."
Lela stampedes for Malachi in the the Mazakin realm with Ana at which point I'm not even surprised. The rule of staying dead once you get killed apparently doesn't apply here. The rescue mission of getting Malachi out of the Mazakin shackle doesn't go all smoothly. Although this is the place where people can not cross the river of death, they are likely to suffer a thousand of terrible ending. Sometimes mort is not the worst thing that can happen in life.
The girls set off on a suicide mission while they're well aware of the darkness feasibility of not making it alive. But then what life would they have to live devoid of the men they love?
"Sometimes all you can do is face what’s in front of you and see it for what it is—and what it’s not."
Worse than hell, they pop up amid the bustling creatures and can't do anything but fight their way through to Malachi suffering a thousand of almost-to-dies when the Mazakin Queen eats his heart every day. It's the worst of nether world we're talking about so you may not be surprised if you encounter some nauseous things here. But everything is allowed in love & war, isn't it?
If it's not enough, the rescue mission is playing the omnipotent spirits who are intended to free the trapped human souls from this bottomless pit. Who else would sacrifice his own eternal soul other than that goodwilled bastard, Malachi? That's how he makes amendments for his deeds, I guess. Now I'm pretty sure Malachi and Lela have no future left to live if every damn second Malachi is willing to dich his life for someone else's. Frigging distressing.
“You walked into hell for me. I fought my way out of heaven for you. No matter what happens, there is one thing I don’t doubt at all: we will find each other again.”–the statement is unlikely to stay true this time.
Lela has an unfinished business left on the land of living after they distroyed the portal to the Mazakin realm. She's way too tired and afflicted by the loss to think clearly which nearly causes her death. But her life-time hero ascends from the downworld one more time to fight their finally battle.
"I was still exhausted. Still grieving. But I wouldn’t stop until I had done the job I’d been sent here to do. It was about me choosing who I wanted to be."
Lela has to make a difference between what she wants and what she needs. Ether she stays on the peaceful Countryside where no harm will befall on her ever or she returns to the one with whom she's always felt home. There's a faint beacon of hope that they might go on with their life together alive and breathing. Another chance to live. They'd better appreciate this time.
How I feel
Level-headed.
