Birth to Chaos

Episode 7- Unc and neph

After Ismaila had dropped Silvia off and drove away with Tremond.

At a church in California, very big and presentable from the outside with nuns carrying out different activities, a car drove and stopped in front of it.

A man looking around in his 50s came out, dressed like a priest. Everyone greeted "welcome father", as he walks past them, heading inside the church as he smiles and waves.

He got into the church and went straight to the alter, knelt and bent down to pray. No one was there aside him, when the door closed with a loud echo. All of a sudden, something jumped down from the ceiling and landed behind him and slowly bowed to him. It was a nun.

"Where's the boy?", the priest asked calmly as from the window the wind began to blow the church candles.

The nun raised its head to look at him. It had grey skin and dark eyes. It didn't have a mouth, but you could hear it speak. It was a demon.

"They were unable to bring back the boy, father. That man appeared." the nun said grunting, and all of a sudden, all of the candles went off. The priest remained strangely quiet for a moment, and began to laugh as he spoke very slowly and tiredly.

"Hehe, Ismaila. So he's still alive and slowing down my progress!", he said while standing up.

"Allow me to get rid of him father. Leave him to me.", the nun mentioned.

"No! You will likely die very quickly without even a chance to react. We're talking about Ismaila here, he and some other peasant known as Hozier, famed for killing our kind. The notorious and vile demon slaughterers you've heard about.", the priest said as he easily lit all of the candles by snapping his fingers. "You don't stand a chance."

"Is that really him?" the nun asked, feeling frightened and shaking.

"You must fear him if life as a demon you are, still has meaning to you." the priest said, "However, do you know, there is a saying that goes, you're fast, but whoever's faster will run past you... Ismaila has become weaker since losing his shard. There's no better moment than now to kill him, and retrieve the boy."

After a moment of silence, he became very angry, releasing his spiritual pressure and instantly melting all the candles.

"Go! And retrieve the boy at all costs, and as for Ismaila. Leave him to me. I'll send a him a special unit to annihilate him.", the priest declared, as he turned to the nun, while his complexion changed to a pale gray color and his eyes became dark red and started to emit a faint glow.

Later, a day had gone by already. It was 7:25am. Ismaila and Laura had arrived at their place of residence, traveling faster with the help of an ally who happened to be in the vesinity, and they left Tremond on a bed since he hadn't woken up yet.

Ismaila sits next to him as he covers him up with a duvet, while Laura stands closer.

"He's so weak", she said, looking at him incredulously.

"How are you sure about that?" Ismaila asked.

"He has very low spiritual pressure, plus judging by his appearance, he's obviously gonna chicken out once he sees a demon", Laura said sarcastically, and Ismaila remained quiet for a while as he patted Tremond's head as he sleeps.

"Why are they after him anyway?" Laura asked, looking at Ismaila incredulously.

"He has something they want", he replied coldly with a fierce expression. "I must keep his safe, even if it would mean the cost of my own life.

Laura felt frightened for a moment seeing his face. She rarely saw him that way even during a demon encounter, as she thought ,"just what does he have?".
