Five more years have passed. Now, with a decade and a half behind bars, I have learned to take advantage of what seemed like an eternal sentence. My former accomplices are no longer here, which leaves me at peace, at least in that sense. However, the option to continue reading, researching and learning continues to be my main refuge.


Every time Mistery Inc. comes on TV, I just ignore them. I no longer care what they are doing or what mysteries they are involved in. My hatred for them hasn't diminished, but I've learned to focus my energy on what really matters: getting out of here, growing up again, and taking back my power.


One of the few advantages I have found to not growing is being able to be stealthy. My small size allows me to move among prisoners without being easily detected. My former accomplices were the only ones who knew how he ran and moved, which gave me an advantage. Now, when someone tries to attack me, I simply run, sneak into the shadows, and go read in a secluded corner I've found.

In that place I have been collecting several pages of books. I have hidden them well, between the cracks in the walls and under the floor. Among those pages appear legends of alteration, ways to improve demonic devices, and above all, the entire history of the Daemon Ritus and the demons that live in it. The more I read, the more I discover that there is a way to use the Daemon Ritus without anyone's help. But that way requires a lot of preparation, and I can't rush it. I must be patient, careful.

Every time I watch the Daemon Ritus on TV, that damn burning in my chest comes back, burning like it's reminding me that a part of me is still connected to it. That connection tells me something: sooner or later, we will come together again. I know it's just a matter of time. And when that time comes, I will be ready to claim what is mine.

 And when that time comes, I will be ready to claim what is mine
