Soul Delivery (English)

Kiervant Sky Part 2

Heka looked at the teapot and the dragon carving. "Is the dragon alive?" Out of curiosity, he touched the dragon that encircled the teapot. He was not sure weather the dragon was alive or not.

When he touched it, the dragon moved. He was shocked and dropped the teapot accidentally. The dragon also felt. The dragon couldn't move at all because it was oppressed by a teapot.

The water in the teapot spilled all on the candles. But the fire was still burning steadily.

Heka became frightened and took a step back slowly. He regretted his own decision by returning to Kiervant Sky. "It's better get out of this place."

He was afraid that the owner of Kiervant Sky would come and find out that he was messing up his house. He turned and ran out of the room. But his steps suddenly stopped. "Why can't I move? What happen?" He hoped something bad didn't happen to him.

There was someone who approached him. He seemed to forbid Heka to go away. "Is he the owner of the house? What will he do to me?"

Heka was stunned and looked at him. His fear reached its peak. All he could do was surrender himself to fate. "Does he want to kill me? If he wants to kill me, fine. Meanwhile, I don't have anything."

The person was wearing a long robe with a leopard motif. His head was closed, it made Heka unable to see his face. He grabbed the lilac-colored rabbit and walked towards the sofa.

In his fear, he didn't dare to look at that person at all. So he preferred to look at the fallen teapot.

The teapot was moving on its own. The water gathered and poured back into it.

He held the teapot. The dragon was moving and alive. The dragon wrapped his fingers around. He gave the rabbit to the dragon. The dragon bit him. The rabbit's blood dripped out and into the teapot. Then, the rabbit died of blood loss. In the end, the dragon swallowed it.

"The dragon is really alive? It means the dragon who bit me... Is it blood?" It made Heka lucky that he had not drunk it yet.

Heka felt sorry for the rabbit. He desperately wanted to do something and stop him from hurting it. But, he was too scared. Because it was impossible to do. After all, his body couldn't be moved.

Heka was silent in his struggles and hoped that the person in front of his eyes would allow him to leave.

His fear grew more when he saw the person in front of him pouring rabbit blood into a cup and drinking it. "Why don't you write your wish? But, you are destroying my mansion?" The owner said.

"I... I... I just want to get out of here. So, can you let me go." It was all he wanted at that time. He wanted to go away from Kiervant Sky and never come back again.

Heka didn't forget to apologize for dropping his teapot. "I'm sorry. I don't mean to mess up your mansion. Please let me live. And let me go."

He changed his mind. Previously, he resigned that the person would kill him. This time, he became afraid of death. He wanted to live.

But he knew that he couldn't just leave. The worst thing was that he would be killed, and the owner couldn't possibly let go of Heka easily. Even though, he had begged him to forgive and let him live.

The person just smiled sarcastically, but he granted his wish. "Okay, just get out. That's if you can."

Heka did not waste the opportunity. He immediately ran out of Kiervant Sky. He headed to the car and went away.

He was so relieved to finally be able to get out of Kiervant'sSky. Finally, he could breathe.

Heka had indeed come out of Kiervant Sky, but he felt as if he was circling around. He couldn't find a way out. He was sure that he had taken the right path.

After a long swirl, he felt cold. His body slowly froze. He couldn't drive anymore and stopped the car. Finally, he lost consciousness.

***

Heka opened his eyes. He looked up at the ceiling. He tried to remember what happened.

When he was in the car, he was weak, cold, frozen and helpless. Then he saw someone approaching him. He couldn't remember what happened after that.

"It seems like you are already awake." The voice was so familiar.

He turned to the voice. It turned out that the person who approached him was the owner of the Kiervant Sky.

Heka got up and noticed the owner of Kiervant who was busy reading a book. There was only one thing he thought of. "Why am I here? Doesn't he really want to let me go? What does he want from me?"

"Thank you for saving me." Heka said. Although he doubted that the person had absolutely no intention of saving him.

His mind was full of questions about the owner of Kiervant Sky. "Is he good person? Can I believe him for letting me live? After all, he saved me."

Heka tried to think positively and threw away all his negative thoughts. Although, he felt scared deal with it. However, he felt that Kiervant Sky was the safest place for him.

It made his thoughts of the owner of Kiervant Sky change. At first, he thought he was an evil demon who could kill him at any time. Moreover, his appearance was full of darkness. Behind it, he was not as bad as he thought before. In fact, he has a good side. Because he didn't kill him.

"You don't have to say thank you, because I don't save you." Said the owner of Kiervant Sky.

It made Heka curious what he wanted him to do. His negative thoughts appeared again. "Does he really want to kill me?"

"Who exactly you are?" Heka hoped to have a good relationship with him. So he can help him at any time. He would try not to be a burden to him. He would do what he wanted. Maybe, it was the only way to survive.

He answered casually while reading a book without paying attention to Heka. "It has been written in the mailbox, isn't it?"

"Marchio."

"You have read the mailbox. It means you have a deal with me. Before it's done, don't expect to get out of Kiervant Sky."

It was enough to explain the reason why he was circling around and could not find a way out. He diverted the conversation with one thing he wanted to know. "It's so cold outside, but why is it so warm here?"

"I don't think I have to answer." Marchio said.

Heka looked around. It was full of candles with blue flames. It meant the candle made the building warm. He felt Kiervant Sky became a very comfortable place for him.

"I don't like wasting time. Just tell me what you want." He continued.

Could it be that Marchio gave him a miracle, like Ansel gave him? At least, he had a hope. But could he depend on Marchio for his life?

Then he remembered what he had to pay just because of Soul Delivery. Because of that, he lost his parents. This time, he had absolutely nothing but himself.

That meant he didn't have to sacrifice anyone. He didn't want to lose anyone.

When a sacrifice was required, this time he would sacrifice himself.
