Rey De-Heavens (English)

4.2

Rey understood that, from the vampire's point of view, she could no longer lower herself to the level of a foolish woman who had lived far less time. She was also angry at not being understood and urged to fight to prove her right by force.

Ehimus defiantly put her hands on either side of her waist and rose on the tips of her toes to appear taller.

Rey took a deep breath. He closed his eyes and turned around. He intended to continue on his way, but didn't realize he was in the path of the light elf who was coming rushing to the scene. Too late to react: Rey covered himself with his hands and slid one of his feet backwards preparing for the collision, however, the "silver-haired elf" ran through him like it was nothing. The experience lasted only a second. Rey, while inside that body, saw everything black, but also felt the overwhelming sound of the organs doing their work.

Mijan, who came to intervene resentful and annoyed at having to deal with all the divergences in the group, went on.

"What if women. What if sex. What if alcohol. What about pleasures. All Of-Grecians are the same. And now these two! Give me a fucking break, will you? Katherine, Ehimus, stop making my life more miserable than it is. Please fight a little lower and where no one will see you, or I'll have to kill you."

Ehimus began to shout:

"Uri-Uri-Uri-Uri-Uri!"

At the same time, he ran with his hands raised with the intention of escaping from Mijan and shouting so loud as not to hear Mijan's claims. As soon as Katherine looked at the light elf, he tensed up completely. Rey could tell that Mijan had the attitude of someone who regretted addressing a physically stronger and more intimidating member.

The little girl in green stopped when, before her eyes, at the end of the path, a whole enigmatic building became distinguishable to her, whose structure blended perfectly with the surrounding landscape and did not seem to be part of the forest.

Everyone looked where she was looking.

Rey, the child that no one saw, knew that this was the place where he was born, but the adults did not. They were amazed as soon as they saw the very particular mansion that was named home by the Great Wise Wizard.

It was as if it was the first time they had seen a facility that was laden with fine leaves, leaves that disappeared in the morning and also acted as walls. Behind the intertwined green and dew, one could also see sturdy white walls that, without having a solid base, levitated through the air on the ground, as they came from above along with the leaves. The immense structure, lacking windows, but full of fine and graceful edges, swayed in the breeze of the gentle wind, as did the trees in the surroundings. A small staircase of five steps, made up of roots, seemed to be what joined the earth to the residence, straight out of the most fantastic fairy tale. Although, up close, not even the stairs touched the ground.

Without ceasing to inspect with their eyes and questioning the safety of the immense structure, the group arrived at the foot of it.

Heroclades, the most excited of them all, was the first to climb the five steps and, grinning from ear to ear, knocked five times on the door. No one answered. He knocked again and this time added in a loud and energetic voice a "hello, is anyone there?", but silence was still present. Behind the wooden entrance there seemed to be nothing and no one. The echoing knocking made the place resemble an empty shell. With no response, the tan-skinned man turned around and with the word in his mouth almost swallowed his tongue from the shock he took. Eliminating the wide grin he wore on his face, he proceeded to scratch his chin and stammer as he closed one eye and opened the other.

"Since when was she behind us and we still weren't paying attention to her? Impressive. Only a "Life Snatcher" or an "Aura Controller" could move so close to me without me noticing, leaving out the others."
