Apollo stared at the burning red ash in his hands. Although the ash was searing hot, it only made Apollo's skin redden slightly.
He let the ashes fall down between the gaps of his fingers, then looked around.
"Did you do this, Maya?"
Layla walked up next to Apollo.
"What is friend doing here?"
Apollo furrowed his brows.
"I guess you could say I'm thinking about old friends."
Layla tilted her head to the side.
"Ah, friend had other friends?"
Apollo nodded slowly.
"I just wonder."
He stood up and looked towards the sky.
"What happened to her?"
As for the answer to that question, that would require a little backtracking.
...
"So, how were you able to partially transform into a demon?"
Lucifer stared at Maya with his empty blue eyes that seemed to look through her. There was no open sense of hostility, but it still made Maya afraid.
