Rey De-Heavens

Jhades. POV

On the morning of the same day, Jhades narrowed down his eyes in a bad temper. He rarely spoke more than he should and when he did, it was to blurt out cheeky remarks or complaints. Because he was so bothered by the brightness, he wrapped himself between the sheets and mumbled between his thin, pale lips the following words, "Why does there have to be brightness when I can see perfectly well in the dark?"

After hearing and feeling his teacher stretch, he remembered that the time to return to the house had come and it was time to see mother and father. With a little more motivation, he slipped between the bed sheets and, after dressing, went out as he always did. Katherine usually didn't get up until later: she intended to meditate on the day before getting moving.

Jhades walked fast, motivated to get home to see his parents. He thought that if he was the first to arrive, he would be celebrated. He also thought there was no point in wasting time talking to his siblings, none of them would benefit him at all. Already, as he crossed the trees and peered out into the brightness of the path, he was forced to stop abruptly and within seconds preferred to join the shadows around the path. Not because he felt threatened by the brightness, but because he felt safer from his brother Rey, who along the road was walking and he had spotted. "So that's the Of-Bastador of the family. A beast without a collar capable of unleashing his aggression against anyone who provokes him."

To the blue-eyed vampire, Rey had the same way of looking and walking as the elders of the pack. Individuals who walked without apertures, perhaps because they were always fighting for survival, not an aggressive beast in the face of anyone. To Jhades, his brother didn't fit the descriptions, but he also had no reason to doubt the words of his teacher, who particularly looked happy every time he got the news that Rey had done something wrong.

On the other hand, it was true that the intimidating expression in the hybrid's eyes made words of his mentor come to Jhades' memory. If one could speak of cautious, the little vampire was the most cautious of the three brothers and the one who made the least unnecessary efforts. Of course, fighting a "troublesome" brother, as his mentor called him, would not be smart at all. "Her eyes have an edge, you can see arrogance and pride, as Katherine says. I understand why she feels the need to kill him in the initiation process. But what kind of environment does it take to give birth to such an arrogant person? How is it possible that he suddenly has so much knowledge and greater fighting ability than mine? If he knows he's going to die, why is he still here?" he wondered, intrigued, to add a cynical comment. "I don't think I can kill him and keep the credit ."

...

In the middle of the road, between the Ever-Changing Forest and the house of those present, stood the Great Wise Wizard; he was reinspecting the depth shown in Rey's eyes. He had another opinion of the matter, totally different from those that Jhades or Dante might have taken. The place was Paradise, the only place of the three planes where the currents of time flowed abnormally and already Rey, in particular, had eaten of the fruit of knowledge. The old man had no doubt that one more night would be enough for the little one without a surname to figure out how to control something that no one should: the flow of time.

The Great Wise Wizard, ignoring the presence of Jhades and Dante, gave a half smile with which he illuminated the wrinkles on his face to return the greeting that Rey had given him. The old man's eyes still saw someone arrogant and haughty.

Slightly taller than Jhades, unlike his brothers, Rey had long hair as if it had been left unkempt. He also carried sharper and more suspicious eyes. He left most of his body exposed and wore only the black-striped white furs of one of the Paradise guardians.

To be specific, Rey was covered in the fur of White's father. How? That's a good question. The feline that was missing a fang and on the first night died by Rey's hands, now lived inside Rey, therefore, Rey, using his skills acquired from his mother, could summon the furs of the feline. Although only summoning the skins of a being was but the hints of an incomplete skill, but it was not long before he could fully resurrect him.
