"UGH!" I groaned. "Over-fucking-achiever. You just had to be better than everyone else." I wasn't really upset by it, but it left me wondering how it looked.

"You wanna see before we get busy?" he asked.

"Yes!" I replied.

Hunter closed his eyes, and I felt the sudden charge of magic. I knew something was forming behind me, but I didn't know exactly until a drop of cool water fell on my back. I looked over my shoulder to see the oval-shaped mirror that was made out of water.

"You can make wat-HOLY UNICORN!" I began but was thrown off at how beautiful my new blessed mark was.

It mainly consisted of wings, and on closer inspection they were flaming ones that reminded me of his or Arielle's when they were in their burning phoenix forms. It was very detailed, the fire wings having every line and detail to make it look very realistic. If it was in full color and not just outlined in black, it would have looked real.

"Hunter...it's beautiful." I looked back at him and he appeared so calm and genuinely happy.

"I'm glad you like it, Celestia."

I glanced back at it one more time before the water began to evaporate and the remnants floated up as air, vanishing from our sight.

With a new resolve, faced Hunter once more and gave him a tender kiss. "I really do."

"Thanks for coming with me here, Blessed Love. I love you."

With one final kiss, I prepared to enjoy the night with him, but I couldn't help but reply.

"No. Thank you, my Blessed Love, for being so understanding and accepting of me. I love you even more."

Clan of Troubles and Sweet Coffee

"Out of all the people in the galaxy, my ass has to meet this pathetic fool." I groaned out loud, not caring that the person in question was right in front of me with a scowl on his unattractive face.

"You're one to talk, Rainbow. How's the unicorn gig going for ya?"

I had to take a moment to ask the heavens to give me patience dealing with this fool.All I want to do is find Theo and get out of this place.

Hunter and I had spent the majority of the night talking. After having three more rounds of sex, neither of us were sleepy. Exhausted, yes, but we couldn't fall asleep when we tried. So we talked until just before sunrise.

Then Hunter shifted into his phoenix form, and we watched the sunrise while he hovered above Versa. It was the first time seeing it at that height, and it felt like a magical moment with Hunter being in his phoenix form.

After he switched back to his human form, he didn't break down like he had during the Trial. He looked content with himself and a little stronger than before.

After we returned and took a long shower together, I called Caio to tell him that Hunter was going to take me to see Theo. I thought it was a better idea and would give Hunter a chance to talk with Theo once we figured out what was going on.

Thankfully, Hunter knew how to get to where Theo's clan housing complex was because he wasn't at his place. The clan's house complex consisted of the biggest mansion I'd ever seen and housed about fifty other small homes; a few of them were individualized for one person and some with couples and families.

When we'd arrived, we were directed to one of the smaller complexes where it stated Theo was. Didn't think I'd have to meet this asshole.

"Alright, Vincent. Where's Theo?" Hunter sighed.

The taller woman, our guide, appeared just as bored with Vincent's delaying efforts, her arms crossed and her eye twitching with annoyance.

"Vincent, I have things to do," the woman announced.

"Oh Esmie, let me have my fun. This fake unicorn has been fun to tease for years. She's on my property, so my rules."

"Your FATHER'S property," Hunter snapped.

Vincent ignored him and looked at me with a wide smile. "I haven't seen you for a while. Where did you go? Ashamed of being a nobody?"

"Vincent, can we do this another day? I'll even come back just for you to annoy me. I need to see Theo,"I grumbled, stepping closer to him as I scanned the neatly kept home. Two other vampires who looked familiar caught my attention, and their grins widened when they landed near me.
