Waylinn and Heka arrived at Heka’s house. Waylinn went straight to the kitchen. He took the knife and gave it to Heka.

“My lord needs your blood.” He gave him a Crystal. The shape was snow lotus flower.

Bleeding for Marchio was not difficult thing for him. It was just that he didn’t have any courage to bleed himself.

He put the knife in his hand. He mustered up his courage and tried to scratch the knife. But he couldn’t do it at all. He gave up. “Sorry, I can’t do it.”

“Do you against my Lord?”

Heka explained. “I don’t mean to go against him. It’s just that I can’t do. I don’t dare. When i cut chicken, pork, or beef, I dare to do it. But when I cut my own body, I can’t afford it, I don’t have any courage to do it.”

“That’s right. You’re just human. Moreover, you never kill anyway. Okay, let me help you.” Waylinn took the knife from his hand.

As soon as the knife stuck to Heka’s skin, he asked to stop. “Wait a minute, I want to over my eyes first.”

He went to his room. Heka came out with a eye mask. Then, he covered his eyes, “Well now you can start.”

“Coward.”

For Heka it was reasonable. Because he was just an ordinary human. Moreover, he was unfamiliar with stab wounds. It was painful enough. No one wants to hurt his own body. Except, for people who want to commit suicide.

Waylinn scratched the knife into Heka’s hand. His hand was hurt, but he couldn’t stand the pain. Tears came out from his eyes, because he couldn’t hold it in.

“Open your eyes.” Waylinn said.

“It’s better if my eyes are closed. I don’t dare to see it at all.” Heka was in pain. He can’t  imagined the shape of the wound that Waylinn had scratched. Especially, when you see it with your own eyes.

Because he didn’t want to open it, Waylinn finally opened his eye mask. Although it had been released, he still closed his eyes.

“Open your eyes.”

Heka opened her eyes slowly, he saw his blood running down the crystal flower. The pistil of a brown flower, turned into red slowly. The crystal flower was radiant. It looked beautiful. Heka was fascinated.

Waylinn wrapped Heka’s injured hand. Then give Heka a gift. “This is from Marchio.”

Heka opened the box. It contains two diamonds with a fairly large size. The diameter was about 15 cm. “Thank you.”

“Tell him by yourself.”

“If I don’t have money, can I sell this?” Heka asked. He remembered that he had not worked for a long time. If it continued, he have trouble surviving.

“It’s none of my business.”

Waylinn’s character and words were a bit harsh. For him it was better, than a person which sweet words.

“My lord needs a rabbit and a reindeer. Don’t disappoint him.”

“Don’t worry I will never disappoint or betray him.” Heka began to wonder how Waylinn could become Marchio’s servant. “How did you become his servant?”

Waylinn sat at the dining table and told him what the tragic event had happened to him. Heka sat in front of him. “When Lucifer was expelled from the sky, he vented his anger in the Immortal realm. All the immortal were severely hit by him and he destroyed the Immortal realm. Only a few immortal who survived. Then, my lord came and witnessed the suffering of the creatures in the Immortal realm. He saved me and other. As a thank you, I began to be his servant. Many Immortal are willing to become his servants and make him king. But, he refused. He only chose me to be his servant.”

Heka had no idea that Marchio had a high sympathy. He didn’t regrets when he decided to became his follower.

Moreover, Marchio gave two diamonds at once. So he didn’t need to think about how to survive.

“Don’t forget to Reindeer.” Waylinn reminded.

“Don’t worry, I won’t forget.” Heka stood up and got ready to go looking for the animal Marchio needed. “I’m going to The Animal House. At first I will go to Westville Jewelry. I want to exchange this crystal.”

“I’ll come with you.”

“Maybe you should change your clothes. I can lend mine.” Heka felt that the clothes worn by Waylinn were too strange. It made him stood out and attracted public attention.

“I don’t mean to offend you. But, it’s better to look like a ordinary human when you are in the human realm. So you don’t stand out and attract public attention.” Heka explained his good intentions.

“What about my tail?” Waylinn said. He was just an animal spirit who was adopted by Marchio, Chimera.

Waylinn took off his robe. Since he followed Marchio, he has a power to transform into a human. Unfortunately, he couldn’t remove his tail.

Waylinn explained about the fact of the animal spirits. “Although I can turn myself into a human, but my tail can not be covered. If I turn into a human form, it looks attractive. But it’s so inconvenient for animal spirits like us. When you turn into a human, you still have to wear a thick robe. The human body will not be able to survive in the Immortal realm.”

“Don’t worry. I have a long coat to cover it.” Heka went to the room and took a long blazer for Waylinn. The blazer material was thin, so it won't be hot when Waylinn worn it.

Heka felt that the clothes worn by Waylinn looked very thick. Because the temperature in the Immortal realm was very cold. Although Waylinn indeed came from the Immortal realm.

“Try this.”

With a blazer, Waylinn’s appearance seemed neat enough. It was better than he worn a large red robe. It seemed like a gangster.

It was just that the tail was visible. Then, Heka took a tote bag and put it on the back of the blazer. He asked Waylinn toput his tail in the tote bag.

“Do you like it?” Heka asked.

“It’s not bad. Thank you.”

Heka smiled widely seeing Waylinn liked it. He felt something had changed in him. He was often happy. And, he felt more comfortable.

There was nothing he needed to worry and fear about. Because, there was someone who obviously protected him. No one can hurt him. Although something disappointed him, it didn’t make him slump. Because he has a place to treat every wound his heart. He never felt this happiness before. Maybe this was a substitute for sadness after he lost his parents. At the time, it was his new life.
