Soul Delivery (English)

The Way To Back

Heka’s phone was ringing when he was on the way to Kiervant Sky with 50 lilac rabbits and everything Marchio wanted. He glanced at the name that called him.

Clancy called him. Before, he had asked Clancy not to look for him or contact him. He had promised that one day he would definitely tell her everything that happened.

So, Clancy just had to wait for him to come back.

Finally, he sent a voice message to Clancy. “Give me one year. During that time, don’t contact me at all. If I don’t come back, come to my house. You will find the answer there.”

At least it would make Clancy calmer.

He remembered what happened yesterday, even Clancy didn’t explain it at all. For him, it was not necessary. He knew that Clancy didn’t know Ansel at all. She was forced to do it because he had disappeared without a trace.

Clancy just asked Ansel for help in looking for him. Because she couldn’t reach him at all and had disappeared for more than a month. Ansel felt angry with him for just disappearing and without any words.

Although, he already knew the real facts. That day, he felt that his life was at an end. He wasn’t sure whether he would return to the human realm or not. The first time he met Marchio, he felt frightened.

That was why it was better for him to ignore Clancy’s calls. He was sure that everyone around Clancy would calm her down. He also knew that there might be a provocateur who could drive Clancy away from him.

If it happened, there was nothing Heka could do.

This time, what he prioritized was telling Clancy all about Kiervant Sky and Marchio. He had prepared a special journal book for Clancy.

He deliberately prepared it all because he didn’t know what would happen to him. Or whether he might meet Clancy again or not. With a journal, at least he didn’t break his promise one last time.

***

Heka arrived in front of Kiervant Sky. He suddenly felt so weak and helpless. His body was covered in cold sweat. It made it difficult for him to breathe. But he tried to survive and got out of the car.

He opened the door and saw Marchio standing beside him. Marchio helped him out of the car. He took out his wings and wrapped them around Heka’s body. He took him upstairs.

Marchio put him on the sofa. “Humans are truly very weak. I forgot to feed you yesterday. Because there was no food for you. Meanwhile, I can not let Jino starve. Now, should I help you stay alive?”

Heka didn’t have the energy to speak anymore, her body was too weak. He tried not to lie down completely. He sat down and rested his head on the arm of the sofa. “Will Marchio let me die?” Marchio clearly said that his life was useless. However, Heka felt calm.

“Okay, let’s see what you bring to me first?” Marchio closed his eyes and seemed like he was trying to see what Heka was carrying. “Because you have brought me everything I need. I will give you the gift of life.”

His guess was right, Marchio wouldn’t just let him die. No matter how bad things happened to him. If his heartfelt calm, there was nothing he needed to worry about.

Marchio raised his left hand. Heka saw the phoenix bracelet wrapped around his wrist. The phoenic bracelet was golden red like a burning fire. The tail was long and forked. The tips of the branches were white gems.

There was something outside the bracelet, it was like smoke. It was full of fine dust appeared. It approached the phoenic bracelet and entered into one of its tail branches. Then the white color changes to turquoise blue.

Marchio blew his bracelet at Heka. The smoke was transferred to Heka’s body. “It is not the first time you have received soul delivery. But it’s very strange, how can an ordinary human like you receive soul delivery?”

It was true. It was not the first time Heka had received soul delivery. Marchio easily found out. He couldn’t answer because he didn’t know why. He also didn’t try to find the answer.

After he received soul delivery, his body recovered. Even so, he still felt weak. “Thank You.”

“You don’t need to thank. Just give me all my rabbits.” Marchio ordered.

“Okay.” Without any objection, Heka obeyed Marchio’s orders. Even though he felt his body was still weak, he forced himself to walk slowly.

From the outside of the car window, he saw all the rabbits gathered together and cornered. They looked scared. The instincts of all animals were definitely right. Especially when it came to creatures like Marchio.

“I know what I did to you guys was cruel. You don’t need to forgive me. I realize this will be unforgivable. If you want revenge, just do it.” Heka took one cage first. Inside there are 10 lilac rabbits.

He returned and gave the rabbit to Marchio. He placed them on the floor. “These are your rabbits.”

Then he sat on the sofa. His head rested on the arm of the sofa.

Marchio approached the rabbits in the cage. He just smiled sarcastically, seeing all the rabbits afraid of him. But he didn’t care. Marchio put his hand into the cage and took 2 rabbits at once.

He walked over to the dragon teapot. His fingers had sharp and long nails. He poked the rabbit with a finger. He collected the rabbit blood that came out of a teapot.

Heka could only watch what Marchio did to the rabbit. “Why do you chose the rabbit?”, Heka asked, so he could stop Marchio from treating the rabbit cruelly anymore.

“It’s just for fun. Moreover, Bunny is perfect for me and also Jino.” Marchio gave one of the rabbits to Jino. The little dragon devoured it in one swallow. Meanwhile, he put the other rabbit on a candle.

“The bunny’s ears and nose are very acute. So, I can find out everything that happens easily. I could hear footsteps from a distance and knew who was walking.”

Marchio took the burnt rabbit and gave it to Heka. “Eat this!!!”, then he returned to the teapot and enjoyed the rabbit’s blood.

Heka smelled the rabbit meat before eating it. The smell of meat grilled with eternal fire and ordinary fire were so different. Then he tried one bite first and tasted it. “This is so strange. He just grilled it without adding any spices, but it tasted excellent.”

He no doubt to eat it all without any left. Even the bones felt quite soft.

“Eat as much as you like. If that’s not enough, you can also take another one. But don’t forget to put the blood in my jar.” Marchio said. He noticed Heka, who ate greedily.

Heka didn’t want to be greedy, and he wouldn’t be able to kill the rabbit. “No, thanks. It is more than enough.”   

“In that case, okay. I don’t have much time. After this, I will give you the Reverse Time Illusion. Are you ready?”
