Faye and Tennebris looked at each other, but Vraxlon took the lead, knowing that it was his cue to enchant a human with hormones on her skin. Realizing that he didn't even need powers to seduce, I didn't know if it irritated or comforted me."We are from the north," he replied, and the woman nodded, seeming to melt when she received a smile from him. "Elena's long-distance friends, on the part of the paternal family.”The woman gave me a look of suspicion."I thought you were an orphan.”"I am "I replied with a yellow smile. “But I recently took a trip to strengthen the lost ties with the family.”"You don't look like relatives," she replied, seriously studying Faye and Tennebris.Apparently, Tennebris' lack of patience and bad mood had enough time to get even stronger in those few seconds that the human world ceased to be a novelty and became as boring as hell. He snorted audibly, and approached one step."And you don't look like a person who is paid to an investigator, so spare us s
"Dear God, I don't know if you have been warned, but your name is in several quotes in this book. We, the crazy humans, write, and all the people you made in your image continue to believe that this garbage is real "he recited in a melancholic and soft tone, looking down, focused on the fingers that played the guitar. "Well, I know that nothing in the holy book is true, and so are you, dear God. So, I must say, I don't believe in you, God.”Vraxlon watched the singer carefully. He heard the lyrics while the melody played by the guitar sounded aggressively, contrasting the softness in the man's voice. It was a song made of contradictions, an open letter addressed to God, even if man said several times in his verses that he did not believe that God could hear him."Nowaday the more blasphemy, the more they think they will gain easy fame," grumbled a woman as she passed by us, holding the bag firmly under her arm. "You're not going to get anywhere like that, young man.”The singer did no
I think the desire must have come from some complicated memory of not having a lot of money to spend left and right, and that at that moment I tried to suppress immediately with all the dollars that were in my bag. Or maybe it was because I had the sin of greed so rooted in my soul. At least Faye would have more clothing options now."It's impossible," Tennebris grunted, entering the kitchen of supetão. He threw the map on top of one of Vraxlon's piles of tidy clothes and threw the compass on the floor. "I can't track my demons without magic. That's impossible. They've probably already owned humans. I can't do anything to get to them.”"Perhaps you can loosen the reins around our powers a little..." Faye suggested watching me.Although I was feeling a little better than in the early moments when I started to use my powers to keep theirs hidden, I still felt the pressure on my shoulders and a cerebral slowness. I was still being consumed by the force that tried to get out of them, but,
"He couldn't contain himself," I murmured, disguising the discomfort so that no one could look at us more than once. Most people were much more worried about the delay in the progress of the queue to notice us. "Besides, I prefer to know that the only negative influence of all customers inside will be nothing more than feeling very hungry.”Honestly, I knew that the reason for my nervousness was not a whole for fear of how I would have to deal with a human possessed by a demon. The biggest part of all that anxiety was for not knowing very well what it would be like to leave Faye trapped in a closed place with humans. I didn't know how their sin could torment them, even if it was a minimal spark of their power that I let escape the reins that I held so firm and sealed to my own power. The chance of that ending mäl was huge.But the first part of the plan was successfully completed, as we paid the entrance to the nightclub and had our arms surrounded by a very fragile and tight paper br
"Who has the book? "I screwed up, with no time to beat around the bush.The man didn't even blink."His name is Ciasbe, fallen angel of the kingdom of envy. He performs services in the woods with nomadic humans. I found this body there, at the stake. They meet every full moon Friday.. And then they read the book, and a portal is opened in our world. It is through this portal that we cross, but many of us are really caught by the archangels. Only the smartest can find their way to the woods and possess humans.”A very bad sensation caused the words to dry in my mouth. I turned to Vraxlon, watching with him he was wielding his sword, waiting for the moment to attack."Today is a Friday," I warned, arching an eyebrow."And full moon" completed Faye, raising her eyes to the sky. "They may be using the book right now.”"So let's end it," Tennebris said without a shred of emotion in his voice.I watched the man turn his eyes towards me, begging without making sounds. As much as I had agreed
Although it did not seem to have a choker, being just a hollow circle with crosses lying down, it was used so that all the light of the moon was reflected inside the fire in a small radius. The man raised his tone of voice, and from inside the bonfire, a creature with horns and a furious face appeared, burning above the firewood.A scream sounded. A feminine cry to drive anyone crazy. And I couldn't help myself anymore. I couldn't stand still, and I didn't think clearly as I got up from the bush and jumped into the camp.There was a sudden second of shock in which no one knew very well how to proceed, so quickly my fellow travelers also approached, and the guards who protected the camp pointed their weapons. The demon inside the bonfire startled when he saw who was approaching, and with a strong stamp that made the wood crack, he disappeared."Hm... "stled the man with features covered by the hood of his clothes. “Can I help you?”"I who should ask this question "I returned, keeping c
I remembered what she said about someone always having to stay behind in a sacrifice, so that others would gain credit and so that evil was always evil. That's what I was doing, leaving my youth behind as I ran against time to save the souls of humans, and with that I went into mourning for the souls I couldn't save because it was already too late.Perhaps that feeling of not doing more than my obligation was for being remembered all the time "usually by the unfiltered lines of Tennebris" that the book had been my creation, to begin with. Because it was exactly how I felt, someone who was doing a job, an obligation.I could no longer save the lives of humans who were possessed, but I could prevent others from going, and that's what I tried to focus on during that week of deaths and tears.My grief reached such an extreme that, in a desperate attempt to make me react with a little more empathy, Vraxlon dedicated himself to teaching me how to handle his sword."All you have to do is hol
A song sounded in the background, loud, but not enough to muffle the buzz of the fires thrown into the skies and the popping of its explosion. From the corner of my eyes, I noticed that Faye danced standing in the same place, unable to contain her own happiness "if they could feel the happiness, and that Vraxlon was the one who was closest to me, no more than a step, so that I would hit my back on his chest to retreat."You want to... Hm... dance? "Tennebris asked, and I turned to see Faye's reaction through Vraxlon. My friend laughed loudly and immediately intertwined her arm with that of the sin of wrath."I thought you'd never ask something like that," she said, as they both walked away to gather the crowd and the music.Vraxlon also accompanied them with his eyes, and turned to me with raised eyebrows."I didn't ask them to show interest in each other," I said."I don't think that if I asked it would be answered so easily," he replied with a smile. "What did you ask for?”"If I te
However, hours after we were satisfied for the second time in a short period of time, it occurred to me that Vraxlon was not telling the truth. That that strange prophecy that Kleyphon had mentioned was the cause of those ominous forebodings that I felt, and of the constant feeling that I should say goodbye all the time to those I esteemed. That no one but me could see Miguel's silhouette because it was a part of the story written for me that no one could know yet.I had the growing feeling that even my most banal choices "or even the most important ones like giving that sword as a gift to Vraxlon" were a repetitive sequence of past actions. And that every time I was faced with making another decision, that feeling of Deja Vu assailed me, as an alert for me not to choose that path.However, everything would be easier if I knew very clearly about the steps I should or should not take. Not least because, when I chose to act, it led me to some destination already lived. When I decided to
Octavius absent-mindedly began to open and close his hand, testing the powers in his own blood. I didn't want the effect to be more than missing a spark of power, but I knew that if they paid a little attention, they would have noticed. Octavius finally turned his gaze to me, and even if he was angry, even if the presence of Vraxlon so close to me awakened in him his worst side, there was a very beautiful kind of pride on his face."I didn't do anything with your magic.”"Liar," Heynna growned, still stuck in the same place. "I miss much of my power. What did you steal from us for?”"I don't need the magic of any of you. I have more than enough now "I drew with a little way of mouth. "I just connected your powers to mine.”"What does that mean? "Tennebris asked, sounding so peaceful that no one would say that the voice belonged to the sin of wrath.But it was Vraxlon who responded, realizing the sly look I sent towards him, knowing that he was the only one who really understood my act
When we finally left the bathroom, my hair was already completely goosebumps from so long under the water, and Vraxlon had a malicious little smile on his face that didn't go away for a long time. When we returned to the room, however, we returned to reality when our clothes were waiting, raised in the air, and, as if the castle could predict my actions before I spoke, I could see that each dress contained enough pomp to demonstrate that we were going to a very important event.Vraxlon put on the black pants that the castle erected towards him, and buttoned the dress shirt up to an inch below his chest, leaving the muscles above visible to any curious person. By pure magic, his hair dried and was combed, before his prince's crown descended gently on his head.While watching the castle spoil him with his care, I was also being pampered. My hair was combed and dry, falling around my arms with soft ripples. A tiara slid gently around my hair, clinging to my forehead like a tangles of thi
"I should better choose the words to talk to a queen, Kleyphon " I said with clenched teeth.The archangel frowned, but the wide smile remained unwavering."I will never understand why in hell you have the habit of delegating high positions, if everyone continues to be flour from the same bag," he mocked, and gently shook an object he had in his hands. It looked like a glowing rope. I got tense. "But if you prefer so, come on, your majesty, your presence is requested before the Creator.”"I'm not going anywhere," I rustled, getting up from a jump.Kleyphon undid his smile. Even if there was something about him that inspired kindness and empathy, I knew that the longer it took to get out of there, the more obstacles would come my way. The black cloud in the sky was descending faster and faster. He noticed when I looked outside, and when my breathing failed because of fear. I didn't expect that Vraxlon could create the portal back, not when I already knew that the archangels could keep
"Did I fall in love with someone? "I asked.Miguel nodded, and a glow of remorse lit up in his violet eyes."So, even if I was assigned to protect a specific human throughout each century, nothing could get out of my head the idea that, despite the soul made of all evil and rot, there was something different about you. There was a feeling. You were made of two of the most powerful demonic beings in the world, but still, you were able to have your own emotions. "He stretched out his hand between us, and took one more step until he was close enough for the tip of his nail to touch the pendant of my necklace. "And overnight, I found myself not complying with the greatest and most absolute rule in my world. Obey my creator. Because I created feelings for you. Not for his human part, for the soul that was underneath. And then... I knew that fate had strange plans for us.”"You chose to protect me, even though you are no longer my guardian "I said gently."I realized very early that I would
"They made me see you and Octavius," I replied.A glow of malice ran through the dark irises of Vraxlon.“At the same time? "He asked."At the same time," I replied, feeling suddenly embarrassed."And how was it? "He wanted to know, walking slowly towards me. "Did you like it?”"I thought... "I staggered, because right at that very moment he caught up with me and deposited a kiss under my ear, at a point that I didn't even know could cause me so many goosebumps. “I thought it was interesting... You said something about me not having to choose, because I could have both.”"Is it really? "He purred, turning around for me and pushing my hair away to have free access to my neck. “Would you like to have it with us tonight, Your Majesty? As my thank you gift for the wonderful sensations we shared throughout the week.”I frowned lightly, but I didn't have enough strength for anything else, because Vraxlon began to slide his big hand around what the towel didn't cover, my arms, my lap, my nec
No one objected when I changed our route and mixed with the humans who passed by with full bags and expressions of pure fascination with the streets adorned with flags stuck in a string. And when we approached a small cabin with stools, in which a polaroid camera was positioned at one end, I was quite surprised that none of my companions refused to take a picture. We were a wreck, Faye and I with cuts in the faces of the fight against four female demons, Vraxlon and Tennebris with the face of someone who hadn't slept for days. Even so, I paid some coins for the photo and kept it carefully in my pocket.Our insured stop was in a stall with Latin foods that were too spicy. My companions ate with such satisfaction that I refused not to finish my dried meat and pepper burrito. However, my human stomach and already unaccustomed to the strong spices of hell seemed to reject the idea of such discordant and hot spices, and I spent mäl from that moment until when we left for the beach.On the
My head hurt, and I had the feeling that something vital and important was being pulled from me, coming from the bottom of my stomach and coming out of my mouth in clouds while I was kissed. Someone hit hard against my face, and the vision of the two men flickered, disappearing and appearing. Another slap hit me, and the pain was greater than the sensations that involved my body, so I was startled and blindly pushed whoever was around me.The salon was replaced by the cell at the police station, and Vraxlon and Octavius were replaced by the two big women who from the moment I entered the cell were crazy to start a fight. At that moment they were moving away and shaking their arms to regain their balance after my pushes, apparently they were the ones I was kissing. I made a sound of vomiting and bent over, trying to keep the feeling of their lips away from my mouth."Don't you dare use this rotten magic on me," I growled, extremely upset.The four women laughed in unison. That's all I
Faye walked away, with her pink hair sliding gently away from my shoulders, so I watched the women, to the same extent as they watched me. Two of them were very tall, in the style of volleyball players and had male traits, despite the long and stuck hair, and the tight clothes. The other two were short, and had delicate features... An almost supernatural beauty. The necklace on my chest sparked, and all four of them followed with their eyes."Is that a precious jewel? "Asked one of the big ones.I denied it with my head and covered the light of the necklace with my hand."Family inheritance. Cheap stuff.”"Hmm... "murmured the other, throwing a look full of meanings at the big one.“Margareth, why don’t you keep telling me about your crime? "He asked Faye with false animation, sitting back in one of the bunk beds that the two smaller prey occupied."Oh, I just drank a little bit, and they invented that it was bringing risks to others and to me," said the little woman, snorting away fr
