🕊️ Aurel Light 🕊️

"the red string" based on "Hearts in Crimson" • Kaelen The Devil’s son—raven-haired, red-eyed, and wrapped in shadow. Trained to deceive and destroy, he hides a weary soul behind sharp smiles. Love was never meant for him—until fate tied him to an angel. • Aurel A silver-haired angel with dawnlight in his eyes and faith in his heart. Gentle yet brave, he believes love is sacred—even when his red string leads him straight into Hell. Kaelen had always felt the faint, burning tug of fate at his wrist—an invisible thread that pulsed with warmth whenever he was weakest. He ignored it, of course. Love was a luxury he couldn’t afford in the court of Lucifer. As the Devil’s son, Kaelen was raised to manipulate, dominate, and scorch anything foolish enough to reach for him. So when the string finally flared to life on his twenty-first birthday—glowing like blood against the air—his first instinct was to destroy it. But then he noticed it moving. Crawling upward through the heavy dark of the Underworld. “An angel,” he murmured, lips curving into a cruel smirk as the red light pierced the blackened skies. “Of course the universe would hate me that much.” He laughed, low and bitter—but beneath the mockery, something stirred. A flicker of warmth. Longing, maybe. Or curiosity. Perhaps both.
