"Huh?"
Before Lilith could answer him, Felix and the tenants were shocked to see her body suddenly breaking into light particles.
"Looks like it's my time. Ah, I was so close."
Lilith giggled with an unbothered expression as she watched her own soul slowly disintegrate into a cloud of light.
She turned to Felix and blew him a loving kiss, then she said, "Don't forget about me, little cutie."
As the last word left her mouth, her entire being faded away, akin to a string of fireflies dying as a collective, their light illuminating one last time...
Felix and the rest of the tenants could only watch the now-empty throne, collapsing into nothingness, marking Lilith's sudden passing...
"Is this real..."
As much as Felix tried to deny it, tried to disbelieve it, his specialized divine detection ability didn't pick on Lilith's aura anywhere.
There were only two auras left behind, his own, and Asna's after soul finally completed its recovery.
Before he could think too much about this unexpected twist of events, Asna's core suddenly turned as bright as daylight and started pulsing with celestial aura, akin to the awakening of a divine deity!
Then, it left his body, making him switch his vision to his real eyes, gazing at her radiant core floating away in the void.
Felix and the tenants watched in awe as the core turned into a milky white cocoon before releasing a massive pillar of light that pierced through the dimensions!
It kept cutting through the fabric of space and time until it painted the same image of Felix's ascension in everyone's eyes.
Within the pillar of light, Asna's body began to take a humanoid shape, each detail meticulously formed by the celestial energy.
Felix, completely forgotten about Lilith, could only watch with a slightly opened mouth and widened eyes as his beloved woman possessed her own body at last.
Her flawless fair skin emerged from the light, followed by the flowing waterfall of her crimson red hair, resembling the deepest flames of a sunset.
Her body was perfectly sculpted, with an elegant figure and curves that would turn anyone straight with a single glance.
She wasn't wearing anything, but the divine light covered the majority of her silky smooth milky skin.
As the light began to dim down, her other divine features came to light, starting with her eyes.
Two brilliant amber orbs, glowing like miniature suns, matching greatly with her delicate plump lips.
They curved into a subtle smile as her rebirth was finally completed.
Felix stood speechless, his eyes locked onto Asna.
She was always the most beautiful girl in the room, but looking at her in her flesh gave him an entirely different sensation.
It was like he was staring into a drawn goddess that could be touched and felt in the real world!
Even the tenants were captivated by the sight, unable to remove their stares away from the reborn goddess before them.
Asna took a step forward, her movements were fluid and graceful as if she had never been absent.
Her eyes met Felix's, and the world around them seemed to fade away for a moment...There was an understanding between them, a connection that transcended words.
"Asna, my love..." Felix mumbled as he stretched his hand forward, his twitching fingers speaking volumes of his emotional instability.
He could control his emotions as a celestial, but not here, not now...He allowed his body to express itself akin to any other mortal.
This made him feel like he was living in a dream, a dream that he had longed for so long...
"Felix," Asna's voice was soft, but sent a wave of emotion over Felix, "I'm back."
Those words were enough to pacify Felix's heart akin to a cool breeze washing over him in a hot summer.
He stepped toward her, unable to contain the smile that spread across his face. He then got hold of her hands, intertwining their fingers for the first time ever with their real bodies.
"I thought for a second that I lost you..."
Felix stated as he brought her into his embrace, holding her back firmly while using the other hand to gently carrase her hair.
Asna enjoyed his touch very much and buried her head in his chest, hugging him back as tight as possible.
She longed for her freedom for so long, this moment should have been thrilled and over the moon. But now, she was happy just by reuniting with her beloved. She didn't even care if she was free or not, she just wanted to be with him.
After a long-lasting beautiful embrace between two celestials, Felix pulled Asna away a little and gazed adoringly in her star-like eyes.
"How I patiently craved for this moment, for this very, moment." He murmured while caressing her cheek with his hand, feeling her every pore and perfection in his palm.
"I was waiting for this." Asna showed a delicate smile and pulled his face towards hers slowly until their lips connected.
Time slowed as their lips met, the kiss soft and tender at first, seemingly reminding them of a gentle connection that spoke of both relief and longing.
But as the moment deepened, so did the kiss, growing more passionate, more intense, as if they were making up for every moment they had been apart.
Asna's arms wrapped around Felix's neck, tugging him closer, while Felix's palms slid down to her waist, anchoring her against him.
The world around them ceased to exist, there was only the warmth of the kiss, the shortness of their breaths, and the undeniable bond between them.
"Pure love is the purest form of art..."
Apollo smiled in fondness as he played a soft melody with his lyre, elevating this beautiful memory even higher.
Felix and Asna seemed to not even hear the soft and ethereal notes drifting through the air, wrapping them like a tender embrace.
As the lyre's melody filled the space, each chord resonated with the depth of their bond.
A serene lullaby that underscored the softness of their kiss. It was as if the lyre itself was singing of their love, its voice a whispering breeze that carried the promise of forever.
But, what made moments beautiful and unforgivable were their short finality.
As the music was coming to an end, Felix and Asna opened their eyes as they slowly pulled apart their lips.
They left their foreheads to rest against each other, both breathing heavily, seemingly savoring the closeness they had both craved for so long...
As their loving stares met, a soft smile played on Felix's lips.
"I have also waited for this."
"Not as much as me," Asna smiled back, her eyes shining with love.
Then, she leaned for another kiss, sealing the moment with the promise of many more to come.
