Forbidden Love

By Ireland Lorelei

Sarandiel was a beautiful and powerful angel who had always followed the rules of the gods. But when she met Adrian, a human male, everything changed. She was drawn to his kindness, his strength, and his unwavering devotion to his beliefs.

 

Despite the warnings of her fellow angels, Sarandiel couldn't resist spending time with Adrian. They talked for hours about their hopes and dreams, and she found herself falling deeper and deeper in love with him. But their love was forbidden by the gods. Angels were not allowed to fall in love with humans, and if they did, they would be banished from heaven forever. Sarandiel knew the risks, but she couldn't bear the thought of living without Adrian.

 

As their love grew stronger, so did the danger. The other angels became suspicious of Sarandiel's behavior, and they began to watch her closely. One day, they caught her and Adrian together and reported them to the gods.

 

The gods were furious at Sarandiel's disobedience, and they banished her from heaven. Sarandiel was heartbroken, but she knew that she couldn't deny her love for Adrian. She chose to leave behind her life as an angel and live among the humans with him. Their love was still forbidden, but Sarandiel and Adrian were willing to risk everything to be together. They faced many challenges along the way, but their love remained strong.

 

As time passed, Sarandiel began to feel a sense of peace in her new life with Adrian. She missed her fellow angels and the beauty of heaven, but she knew that she had made the right choice. She had chosen love over duty, and she would never regret it.

Sarandiel and Adrian's love story became legendary among the humans and the angels alike. Even though their love was against the rules of the gods, it had proven to be the most powerful force in the universe.

Sarandiel

As an angel, it was my duty to watch over the humans and ensure their safety. I had been flying over a small village when I saw him sitting under a tree, reading a book. His face was illuminated by the sun, and there was a sense of peace and serenity around him. I felt drawn to him, and I flew down to get a closer look.

Hello, I said, hovering above him. What are you reading?

He looked up at me, surprised. Oh, hello. It’s a book about the stars and the constellations. I find it fascinating.

I smiled at him. I love the stars too. They remind me of home.

Home? he repeated, curiously.

I hesitated, wondering if I should reveal my true identity as an angel. But something about him made me feel comfortable, and I decided to take a chance.

I’m not from around here, I said. I’m an angel.

His eyes widened in amazement. An angel? I’ve never met one before.

We talked for hours about our interests and beliefs. I was drawn to his kindness, intelligence, and his love for life. I felt a sense of longing that I had never felt before, but I knew it was wrong for an angel to fall in love with a human.

As the sun began to set, I realized I had spent the entire day with him. I had never spent so much time with a human before, and I knew that my fellow angels would not approve.

I have to go, I said, reluctantly. It’s getting late, and I need to return to heaven.

He looked disappointed. Will I see you again?

I hesitated, unsure of how to answer. I don’t know, I said finally. But I hope so.

As I flew back to heaven, I couldn’t stop thinking about him. My heart was filled with a sense of longing that I had never felt before. I knew it was wrong for an angel to fall in love with a human, but I couldn’t help the way I felt.

Over the next few weeks, I found myself drawn to him more and more. I would watch him from afar, never daring to reveal my true identity. But I knew I had to be careful. The other angels were suspicious of my behavior, and I couldn’t risk being caught.

One day, as I was watching him, he looked up at the sky and smiled.

I wish I could see the stars up close, he said wistfully.

I knew I had to do something. I flew down to him and said, I can show you the stars.

His eyes lit up. Really? How?

Close your eyes, I said. And hold on to me.

He did as I asked, and together, we flew up into the sky, higher and higher, until we were surrounded by the stars.

His eyes were wide with wonder. This is incredible, he said.

I smiled at him, feeling a sense of joy that I had never experienced before. It was as if, for a moment, all of the rules and obligations that came with being an angel had faded away.

As we descended back to earth, I knew that I was playing with fire. My feelings for him were growing stronger every day, and I knew that I was risking everything by spending time with him, a human. But my heart had already made its choice, and I couldn’t help but wonder what the future held for me and the man I had come to love.

Adrian

Icouldn’t stop thinking about the angel I had met. She was the most beautiful creature I had ever seen, and her presence had left me feeling both exhilarated and nervous. I had never felt this way about anyone before, and I found myself wondering about her constantly.

As the days passed, I couldn’t shake the memory of
