Bab 180: He would set the world on fire, but would not a single flame touch her.

Abel wasn't crazy. 

He does crazy things, but he knew he was sane — whatever sane even meant. However, for the past several days, he believed he had a glimpse of the line between sane and sanity. 

It was very clear. 

Over that line was just a vast, empty expanse. 

If Abel didn't see Aries or hear even her breath for one more day, he was certain he would go beyond the line of insanity and search for her over there. Funny that her absence was something he could bear for several days only. More than that? Even Abel's people weren't safe — Conan, for example. He nearly died, if not for Isaiah. 

Abel stared at Aries for a very long time while squatting beside the bed, cupping his cheek with a satisfied smile plastered across his face. 

'How cute,' he thought. 'Should I kiss her to wake her up? But it seemed she's exhausted.'
