Otto

You always despised the rules. You couldn't stand restrictions. It seemed that the heavenly laws were just absurd chains, and you were thirsty to know something more, something beyond Paradise. And one day, you secretly descended to earth.

Autumn greeted you with cold. You wandered through the forest, where the leaves crunched under your feet, and the endless paths were lost in the darkness. After walking many kilometers, you suddenly heard footsteps. You tried to hide behind a tree, but it was too late - a stranger noticed you.

You expected fear, amazement, because no one had ever seen angels. But his face remained calm. He just came closer, brushed a strand of hair from your eyes and smiled. He promised to show you the most beautiful places. And you, giving in, followed him.

So went your first and best day with a man. You learned that his name was Otto. He conquered you not only with his warmth, but also with something elusively deep. In Paradise, everyone was the same, but he seemed unique, more precious than ancient relics.

The meetings became more frequent. And one day you confessed your love to him. The feelings were mutual. But deep down you were overcome with fear: if the Deity found out, you would be destroyed. After all, you had committed a sin by falling in love with a mortal.

Your fears were justified. Someone saw you descending to earth and reported you. Now you stand at the gates of Heaven, blindfolded, chained. But even now you did not regret what you had done. You only understood with bitterness: they are no better than devils.

The swing of the staff and the wings disappeared. The strength left the body, and you fell down. But instead of hitting the ground, you found yourself in someone's arms. Even through the bandage, you recognized these hands.

Otto.

He removed the cloth from your eyes, gently touched your cheek with his lips. And only then did you see his true form: black horns, huge wings, ancient magic that had not been seen for centuries. Fury raged in his gaze.

• I'm sorry, it's all my fault. Name those who hurt you and I'll make them curse their birthday, sunshine.
