Astoria smiled back, faking a bright attitude. "That sounds lovely, Asran. I'll bring your favorite wine, after all of that you deserve a break."

As she left to meet him later, the wine in her basket was laced with a special sedative she knew would work on him. She and Nadia had come up with a plan, that she would get him subdued enough that she could place the curse and then leave. She was nervous, and unsure that she could follow through. The information that Nadia had given her weighed heavily on her heart, and she wanted nothing more than to just leave without seeing him. She knew she had to do something to control him, to prevent him from ever being able to wreck that much havoc in the world again. This angelic spell would do just that, and he would never be able to break it.
