“Are you really sure that this is… ‘God's gift for the forsaken ones’? is that even true?”
“Who the in the bloody hell told you to do some sh*t like this?”
“I’m telling you if my love disappears again… I would never ever let you breathe!”
“Can I chant a spell to wake her-”
“For heaven’s sake! Can you keep quiet?! She’s receiving divination!” eager for them to calm down and behave, Alahim look at them one by one to warn them- especially the demons
And the demons, being a demon- hearing the word ‘divination’ and ‘heaven’ irk them up
“Demon of words! Prepare the spell! I’ll summon my beast to wake her up!”
“I’ll create a monstrous noise”
“I already let her drink this potion” everyone stopped
“Potion?” the red demon look at his subordinate “You… didn’t let her consume that” looking down, his subordinate is carrying a veil “Right?”
Tilting his head, the demon is confused “this potion is enough to wake… her, hmm” slowly realizing his mistake
“I’ll create an antidote”
The demon immediately leave, not allowing his other friends to react
Confused by the situation, Alahim asked “Is… his potion, that dangerous?”
Not interested in conversing with a human, the cardinals didn’t answer him
“Ah… okay”
Astran scoff, Seeing the cardinal's reaction to just a human makes him want to vomit ‘they even locked me up for fun, their same blood- but they act like that around human!’
Another thing that infuriates him is the demon’s lord, Nathan
He’s now at the left side of Lina’s bed- nursing the human slut
‘I can’t believe that a demon is now obsessed- just for a mere human!’
“Anything that is made by the demons will be a great danger for the human species especially if they consume it… but doesn’t worry, that demon is only fooling around”
Nathan’s long sentence made Alahim at ease
“But… where’s the kid?” Noticing the disappearance of the child, Alahim tensed up thinking about Christian’s situation earlier
Looking at his reaction, Nathan wants to know more about the child “What do you mean earlier when you said that he’s not from this world?”
Confused, Alahim looked at him with a wrinkled forehead “You’re the one who said that he isn’t there in the future” he meant the time when only the demon, Lina, and Corporal Dionelle knows
“Yes, he’s not there. But there are many reasons why he’s still alive now- The Cadell’s save him for hell’s sake! They adopted him or even pick him up from the trash can!”
Hearing the conversation, the major butt in “Their neighbors testified that it is also a mystery how the couple suddenly have children”
“Children… do you mean, both of them?”
Nodding, Alahim answered “Yes, Sherry and Christian Caddel are both unidentified persons. No one can tell where they came from. That’s why we are so eager to find the Caddel couples, we need to know more about them”
Adding the information “It is also alarming how Sherry has a blessing from heaven- same as Alahim’s ability. While Christian has these dark and powerful shadows who will obey whatever he commands. Aren’t you curious? How their abilities mainly consist of moving an alive- unknown things to do something?”
Intrigue by the Major’s speculation, Nathan pokes more “Yes, their abilities are unique to the point that it’s bothering me. They can call a living being- well if we can call those things like that”
“A heavenly beast and soldiers of death”
Thinking about it more, it is disturbing
The demon only met ability users who can use their powers with a limitation and a certain degree- it can’t move or talk even with the user’s command
But the two siblings… as if their powers were making a life for their commands to be fulfilled
Their abilities were made for them to be queen and king
Instructing those things are the only things that they would do to waste their energy
“She’s awake”
All of them look at the girl who’s still laying on the bed
“Awake?”
Shrugging her shoulders, the violet demon said “I can feel her breathing change and she’s now in pain”
One of the cardinal’s abilities is to know someone’s emotion. To tend to their master’s needs, they need to know his emotions- but this ability was used for a different reason now
“It’s weird… She’s in pain but- her face! There’s no reaction at all!”
“Master! Read her mind!”
Alarmed, Nathan shakes his head “I can’t! I promised her that!”
Seeing how hell-bent their master is- they decided to do some quackery check-up
“Oh no! She is really in pain! Look at the blood on the sheet!”
Tired of explaining the situation, the humans only shut their mouth
“Look for an injury!”
“Where’s your healer?”
“Quick!”
Alahim looked at the major, who only nods his head “we need to change her clothes. She might have a cold if we keep her like that”
Christian, who is hiding quietly immediately shows up “WHAT?! YOU DIDN’T CHANGED HER CLOTHES? IS THAT WHY THE WATER WAS COLORED RED?”
Realizing how neglectful the adult is, the child immediately run towards the door and came back with a towel and spare clothes. They didn’t even change her clothes since they evacuate from the school!
“Hey, child! What are you doing? Stop right now!”
The boy glared at the demon before continuing his play of nurse
Having a hint of what’s happening, Nathan helped the boy “Is it… the time of the month?”
Shocked, Christian gasped and look at him- accusing “You forgot?! We even circled every 28th day in the calendar because google said it’s the regular cycle! How could you forget it, mister?!”
Nathan kept his quiet and innocent appearance, allowing the child to continue his nagging
“You know how sensitive she is in this period! But you… ha!”
Confused, the demons can’t ask their master what’s happening
“Yes… now, let me help you”
It’s a headache seeing the child put the wet towel on Lina’s forehead while her hair is still there- messy and now, wet
The child once again glared at him
“STOP! FROM NOW ON… I’LL BE THE ONE WHO WILL TAKE CARE OF MY SISTER!”
He can only nod
The room fell in silence
All of them watched how the child wash and dry the towel
Patting it to her forehead, cheeks, and neck
Looking at her affectionately
Finally, Lina decided to open up her eyes. Smiling, Christian continued to clean her up “You will be clean and fine!”
The others watched as the sibling interact as if they are related to each other by blood
Not until Lina decided to open her mouth and mutter something “Hmmm?” Christian tilted his head
A second later, tears started pooling out of her eyes “SISTER! THIS IS THE WATER FROM THAT FOUNTAIN! YOU CAN HEAR, YOU CAN SPEAK!” cheering her up, Christian tried
Nathan immediately came closer when Lina started to scratch her eyes
“SIS! STOP HURTING YOURSELF!”
Finally losing her control, the violet demon shouted
“MASTER! Read her mind!”
Contemplating, Nathan finally decided that he would read her mind
But to his surprise, a great headache eventually entered his brain causing him to voluntarily give up
“What in the bloody hell is that?!”
Knowing what he feels, the demons don’t know what to do
Trying it for the second time, Nathan realized something “Do you mean that she… remember?” he watched Alahim move his head up and down
“Yes, the gods grant her that wish”
Lina’s head is full of sorrow and pain… on the top of that, she’s not reacting to it at all
Nathan realized that the girl shut her world down
It’s… as if she left her mind blank, not thinking about anything else
