Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm; for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave; the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame.

Spelled (Carlos de Vil x Sanderson Daughter) Descendants 3- Ch. 11: Time Will Tell
Tumblr media
I can already feel the differences of not wearing the brooch. Not as much power but my mind is much clearer. Now I just need to settle one last request.
Mal walks out of the room just as Hades finishes up talking with Ben’s dad. 
“He left me his Ember.” She holds up the blue stone with a stunned expression.
“Gosh, Mal. That’s… really thoughtful of him. It’s his most prized magical possession.”
Yesterday I would never have trusted her with something this powerful. I hope Mal’s changed as much as she says.
She looks around and leans in to whisper: “Just a little secret: I’m going to reopen the barrier.”
Happiness floods through me and I know I won’t have to ask for the favor after all. My promise to the VKs on the Isle will be fulfilled!
“But you can’t tell anyone!” Mal points a finger. “I’m going to announce it at the ceremony tonight.”
I nod. “Please forgive me for not attending, but I can’t stay here. You know that.”
She understands. Just because I’m not a fugitive anymore does not mean people will look at me differently. I will always be the Sanderson witch.
“You need not worry any more about keeping Auradon safe. As long as I am alive my protection spell will ward off any threats. Happy engagement, Mal.” I look over at her fiancée who’s just joined us. “Happy engagement, Brother Ben.”
He squeezes my shoulder. “We’ll miss you, Sparks. Come visit once in a while. Maybe pull some pranks?”
I try to offer a smile. “We'll see.”
All that’s left here is old memories. I’m not one to feel nostalgic. If nothing is to ever be the same again then I can’t twist my hands trying to think the impossible. There’s just one last loose end I need to tie up.
“Nice jacket, dog boy.”
I find Carlos is sitting in the courtyard with Dude. The place we fought before I left last time.
He spins around to see me and his eyes light up. “I’ve been trying to find you!” He suddenly goes quiet. “I understand now why you’ve been mad at me. I’m your one true love.”
I can’t have the heart to lie anymore. “Yes.”
“And you can never find another?” he asks softly.
A deep sigh escapes me. “No. That’s how it works for me.”
Carlos paces back and forth. “Maybe if I-”
“No. You are happy with Jane, Carlos.” I give him a final soft kiss on his freckled cheek. “I hope you and her find every form of happiness.”
His soft eyes frantically search my face for a second chance. “But what about you? You deserve to be happy too.”
“I’ve survived this long without true love. ‘Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame.’  Song of Solomon 8:6. If it’s by only the will of God that I must live, then I cannot change it. I understand, Carlos. I don’t get a happy ending. No matter how hard I try to be good I will always get the short end of the broomstick. But it’s fine. I’ve accepted my fate, and will release you from the empathy link.”
Carlos shakes his head and starts stuttering. “I want to keep it. I’ll feel too guilty knowing that I left you.”
His caring words make me double-guess myself but I put those thoughts to rest. It’s not fair to keep him held to this if he’s already happy.
“You’ve been a very loving friend, Carlos de Vil. If you ever need someone to talk to, send Dude to find Binx. I’ll stay in touch.”
Before I can let myself be poisoned by any more false hopes I tear myself from the conversation and walk away from perhaps the best thing that’s ever happened to me. My true love.
In the end, I thought we were friends.
Then life started up again.
So I thought we’d start anew,
And that maybe you’d love me too.
You skip to your next romance.
Not even giving me a chance.
And perhaps our friendship will be lost,
I’ll still hope one day our paths will cross.
Do the right thing in the right place.
As long as I watch, you are safe.
You taught me how to have fun,
How to make friends with someone.
You showed me how to forgive,
And encouraged me to live.
I’ll just disappear,
And you can forget you ever saw me here.
Don’t regret anything, it’s my fault.
The burden is mine to be taught.
I’ll be ready, I won’t mistake.
You’ve prepared me for the sickness of heartbreak.
For how long, you never knew.
One day I’ll tell how much I love you.
And even if I can’t find bliss,
I wish you every form of happiness.
Back at the palace I see father and Binx have already packed up what little belongings we have here. Travel light, I suppose.
“What’s this book for?” Father holds up my spellbook.
“That is what’s currently holding the Sanderson sisters.”
Father tenses up and holds the book out to me. “I think it’s safer if you hold it. Between you and me I don’t want any run-ins with your aunts.”
“For your return home you’ll be traveling in style,” Fairy Godmother tells me and points to the black limo parked out front. “I’m so proud of you!” She gives me a big hug. “You are everything I ever hoped for in a Sanderson.”
“Does this mean I pass Goodness 201?” I joke.
“With flying colors!” 
I help father carry the bags to the limo and find Remus leaning against the drivers’ side door. He's wearing his chauffeur uniform again.
“Time for a vacation?” he asks as I approach.
“You could say that, Remus. I hope FG gave you your job back?”
“Without question. That and along with a raise," he says proudly. "Now I’m in charge of personally driving Queen Mal to her meetings.”
The news brings a smile to my face. “Congratulations. I hope to see you around.”
The redhead tips his hat. “I wish the same thing. I’ll miss you, Magica. I’m glad to see everything worked out for you. Do you think you’ll ever come back?”
Life can be crazy sometimes. One day shows us everything is planned out. The next it shows that life can erupt into total chaos. Sometimes we’re shown that what we wanted might have been hidden in plain sight all along.
“Time will tell, Remus. Right now I want to live the quiet life I once hated. It’s time to go back to where it all started and remember who I am.”
“Magica Sanderson isn’t the same shy witch I picked up last year,” Remus points out.
I shake my head and look out onto the grounds as the sun begins to sink below the horizon.
“No. This is one Sanderson who’s going to write her own happy ending.”

Daily Devotionals for October 27, 2023 Proverbs: God's Wisdom for the Day
Devotional Scripture:
Proverbs 27:3-4 (KJV):
3 A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty, but a fool's wrath is heavier than them both.
4 Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who can stand before envy?
Proverbs 27:3-4 (AMP):
3 Stone is heavy and sand weighty, but a fool's (unreasoning) wrath is heavier and more intolerable than both of them.
4 Wrath is cruel and anger is an overwhelming flood, but who can stand before jealousy?
Thought for the Day
Verses 3-4 - These verses tell us that jealousy and envy are greater burdens than the heavyweights of the cruelty of wrath and anger. Wrath and anger are often vented quickly, whereas envy and jealousy are like a pot that heats slowly to the boiling point. This causes the one who is jealous to seethe within, and the envy they feel will gnaw at them over a long period. Jealousy is as cruel as death and a flame of torment to those who embrace it. "Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame" (Song of Solomon 8:6).
We saw on Day 42 that when jealousy erupts in anger it is known as "jealous rage," and on Day 110 that jealousy and envy can cause physical and mental illnesses. "A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones" (Proverbs 14:30). Envy is included in this list of evils: "And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful..." (Romans 1:28-31). These sins will bring judgment upon those who practice them, but through Jesus' sacrifice on our behalf, we can receive forgiveness. We can be saved from hell and receive eternal life, not by any works of righteousness we do, but by God's mercy to us through Jesus Christ. Through the Holy Spirit, we can be freed from wrath, anger, envy, and jealousy and filled with God's love.
"For we also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. But after that, the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life" (Titus 3:3-7).
Prayer Devotional for the Day
Dear heavenly Father, thank you for Your gift of the Holy Spirit so that we have the power to overcome anger, wrath, envy, and jealousy. Lord, give us the grace not to yield to these things when we are tempted. May we exhibit Your love in situations that the devil designs to be used against us, to provoke us to anger. Help us not to react ungodly in those kinds of circumstances. May we rejoice in the promotion of others and not yield to a spirit of envy or jealousy. I ask if this is the name of Jesus. Amen.

“Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame.” Song of Solomon 8:6 (KJV) Making the right choice leads to fulfillment. In the opening scripture, love is contrasted with jealousy. Love is strong as death; a heart that is completely filled with love will surely accomplish much for God and humanity. It is a driving force that will keep you from giving up on human beings. Take our Lord Jesus, for example. He loved human beings so much that He did the ultimate by sacrificing Himself for them (John 19:30). Jealousy, on the other hand, is as cruel as the grave. Beloved, Lucifer became satan or devil because of jealousy; He became so jealous of the creator that he decided to overthrow Him and was defeated and cast down to earth (Isaiah 14:12–15). His jealousy and sin continued to make him wicked toward human beings, and he is responsible for many atrocities in this world. Dear beloved, choose love over jealousy so that God can use you to be a blessing to His kingdom and the world. Hallelujah! You Are Blessed! Prayer Point: My loving and faithful Father, thank You for teaching me about love and jealousy. Indeed, love is to be chosen over jealousy so that we can be like You. I have decided to choose love instead of jealousy today so that many who come into contact with me can have a taste of the love of Jesus Christ in me and become members of Your Kingdom. Amen! https://www.instagram.com/p/CnZ5dOiOd0M3bB4ksDrAxI41sYOFkSXMhP6fdA0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

one thing the old fandom has over post nov 5 fandom (truly the only thing) was they slapped the song of solomon on anything. truly the ketchup of 2011. literally screencaps of any scene and there it would go with the “set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame.”

Song of Solomon 8:6   Set me as a seal upon thine heart,
as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death;
jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame.
Song of Solomon 8:7 Many waters cannot quench love,
neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned (scorned).

The burden of love ...Love is strong.
Song of Solomon‬ ‭8:6‬ Set me as a seal upon thine heart, As a seal upon thine arm: For love is strong as death; Jealousy is cruel as the grave: The coals thereof are coals of fire, Which hath a most vehement flame.‭‭ 
One of the reasons why love is a burden is because love is strong. A person with love is a strong man. You are becoming stronger as you walk in love!

Song 8:6 |The Grave
Song 8:6 |The Grave
Set me as a seal upon thine heart, You've written my name Upon the palm of your hand. As a seal upon thine arm: A token to remember my tears. For love is strong as death; But where is it's sting? Jealousy is cruel as the grave: Yet peace flows among brethren! The coals thereof are coals of fire, A holy flame kindled by the Spirit Which hath a most vehement flame, An everlasting evangel.

Højsangen 8:6 Lad mig være så tæt på dig,    som var jeg stemplet på dit hjerte,        eller sad som en ring på din arm. For kærligheden er stærk som døden,    lidenskaben er uimodståelig som dødsriget selv:        den brænder med voldsomme flammer, som ikke kan slukkes.
