I don't know what happened. It was probably because I died, but it seed that my luck got reversed or sothing because the winter held back its arrival right until the point the inner palace was finished. I won't say it is perfect. Or furnished. It wasn't pretty… but it was finished and livable. That is when the first snow arrived, and winter officially began. I am honestly worried… I kinda believe in karma, and if this many good things are happening to , there is no way I won't have to pay it back.

"Is it the cold?" Sasha asked, coming up to while I stood on the balcony of my room, looking at the unfinished garden. It was not a real garden yet as nothing had been planted previously… but that didn't show because of the snow covering it.

"Hm? Why do you ask?" I turned towards her while she put a thick coat on and pulled her own tighter around her neck.

"Your face looked troubled."

"Ah… no, I was just thinking about… stuff."

"You worry too much! Everything is going well!"

"Yeah. That's it!" I chuckled, walking back to the room and closing the door behind .

For now, it was still barebones. We had a few rugs, a bed, and a big fireplace where, right now, orange flas were dancing. Nothing else and no real luxury to speak of. Except for the fireplace… it had a magical formation put in the bottom of it, and with a bit of experinting, I perfected it. Right now, no matter what we put in there, it ca to life with a thought from Sasha and started burning at full power.

What was even better is that it produced no smoke! I was so srized by this magical fire that I even tried using snow and operating it as its new fuel source... and it worked. I watched snow catch on fire and burn, warming up our room. If soone told this a year ago, I would have slapped him across the face for taking for an idiot.

Sasha didn't find it weird, saying it is what magic does. But that was not an answer for , so I started studying it and developing theories about what was happening. My final conclusion was that magical fire is different from normal fire in that no matter its source, it consus it and transforms its pure essence into heat, right until nothing remains. And I an nothing, as not only smoke was missing from it but the ashes too. When the fuel finally ran dry and the fire went out, the fireplace remained empty and clean.

"Will you install sothing like this in others' hos too?"

She asked while putting a tray above the fire and a pot onto it to start making tea. When I first started experinting with the flas, it very quickly turned out that she was kind of 'immune' to it. She could put her hand into the flas and feel nothing. Her clothes would catch on fire like any standard fabric… but her skin? Unhard.

"Nope. They do have their own fireplace," I answered, "but that's it. I can't have you and rlin go around igniting magical fires all around the city, or you will do that until the end of tis! Not everyone can get everything, you see!"

"They are already grateful." She smiled, leaning against the undecorated, raw stone fireplace, watching . "Having a ho, even if they have to share with others right now, is sothing we never dread of. Not when we were in the forest! Even the villagers here… hos made out of stone? With a fireplace? That was an extre luxury and a sign of nobility! They think you are humble about building your ho from wood and theirs from stone."

"Hah! Fine by ! I like well-made wooden houses. It feels… cozy. I like cozy. If they think like that, I won't tell them my real reasons~! I won't go against a good image; it is important to lead them without issues!"

"I am curious where you will lead us…"

"What if I lead you to the bed now?"

"Hmph! Pervert!" She giggled, but we were interrupted by the teapot's whistle as she began preparing it.

As I watched, my mind started to wander again, and I got really curious, which she also noticed when she put the steaming mug in my hand.

"What did you think about now? I recognize when you have an idea brewing!"

"I do want to test sothing…" I whispered, sipping on the tea, "I'm just unsure if I should wait with it or go ahead and test my theory out soon. It includes rlin, and I don't want to traumatize the kid."

"Is it dangerous?" She asked softly, a hint of worry in her voice, "I can do it if it is…"

"Kinda, but you will have to do sothing else. You see, I have been thinking about this… about magic. About how it seems it has multiple elents. When you concentrated, you summoned fire… and seemingly, you are impervious to any fire damage!"

"Well… it does feel hot! The longer I keep my hand in it, the hotter it gets, and… it gets painful! I think after ten or so minutes, I would start showing damage… I can try if-"

"Nope!" I shook my head at once, "You can test yourself, but don't go and injure or burn your body, you hear? I am fine knowing you can withstand flas for a certain period of ti! That is enough. I don't trust our current dical knowledge to heal you…"

"That is why many think you are soone extraordinary. So many people get sick in the winter… In the forest, I saw it many tis… getting a fever and dying. It was frequent." She whispered, her eyes growing distant as she rembered it. "Um… but now it is different!" Watching her, I saw her shaking away the thoughts and returning to the topic, "So what do you want to do with rlin?"

"I want to see if he is resistant to fire or is it your… well… your unique elent or not! Of course, I won't throw the kid into the fire, but I would want him to try and get close to it. If he can't bear it, we will know. For , just standing close to the magical fire makes sweat! The heat coming off it is way stronger than any regular one!"

"I see… if he can't stand it… what will you do?"

"I will have to look for what he specializes in! When yours surfaced, you left behind a formation! I want the sa to happen with him! This is the only way I can study magic. I can't travel to the capital city and start asking questions now, can I? It is not feasible without ending up on a cross or sothing!"

"I heard they do that… I don't want that to happen to you!"

"Wait… there are crucifixions in place?" I asked as I just jokingly ntioned it, but seeing her nod… I had to accept it. Thinking a little, it shouldn't be that weird. Torture is universal, and of course, people will co up with it here, too.

"I heard that there are even worse things done to traitors…"

"I bet. Well, that is why we are doing things… here. Where nobody really cos and looks because it is a backwater place with muscles for brains as leaders!"

"You are not like that!" She chuckled, hugging while I hugged her back, rubbing her head.

"I was talking about my father. Especially in the winter, all the blood from his brain wandered down to his crotch, banging my mom day in and day out. Well… there was really nothing else to do when beasts weren't attacking."

"They… they did… it… all the ti?" She stiffened up but still remained hugging .

"Yep. Right next to my crib!"

"Wait… you rember it?!"

"Err…" Whoopsie. That… slipped out. "Don't tell anyone, okay? I do rember my baby years, but I never told this to anyone… not even my parents!"

"I won't, I won't!" She replied with shining eyes. The fact that she learned a secret of mine seed to completely excite her, and well… her shining, innocent look excited .

Soon, my lips sealed hers, and I pushed her down on the bed a mont later. She didn't resist, even opening her legs, welcoming . It didn't take long to throw off our clothes and continue imrsing ourselves in a passionate, long exchange of saliva. When our lips parted, it was connected with a long, thin bridge that only broke apart when she sheepishly looked down where I was poking against her slippery slit.

“I… want it…”

"You are not the only one…" I answered, and after a bit of fidgeting, I pushed on.

There was little resistance to finding my way in, and her body was so excited the sheet under us was already soaked down to the bedfra. When I felt pushing against the soft resistance inside, I leaned ahead, kissing her and thrusting forward, going in deep with one move. Sasha loudly moaned when it happened, wrapping her legs around my waist as I lay on her naked figure. I don't know if it is because I am reborn in a new body or because she is a witch… but she was extrely hot. Literally, I an.

"Can I… move?" I whispered, not wanting to hurt her, and she nodded almost imdiately.

"It stings a little… but that's it! It isn't bad… it is… very… great… ah!" She stuttered, gasping for air every ti my body moved and twitched, and I was the sa. She was taking my breath away...

I never felt anything similar before. Okay… I didn't have that much experience to boast about, but… I wasn't a virgin. But Sasha here…? She was like an angel. I had never felt sothing so soft, hot, and yet tight. I don't know how many tis I could move my hips while continuing to kiss her neck and body before I shot my load into her womb... but I was trying my best to not be a quick shot. In the end, I wasn't thinking about pulling it out, not even for a minute. If she gets pregnant? I would be happy, and the way she was holding and moaning in pleasure when feeling how her body got washed with my seed told she was just as satisfied. None of us said anything and just lay there, still connected for the upcoming half an hour.

"You are still… stiff." She chuckled, and it seed sothing did awaken in her as I found myself lying on my back and she sitting atop , slowly moving her hips, grinding against mine.

"What did you expect? You are too wonderful to calm down!"

"Well… if that is true… we can do it through the winter… there is really nothing else… to do!" She smiled seductively, and at that mont, I knew… I hit the jackpot with her.
