The Brothers of Sin-Black Blood

Chapter 4.2

I felt a tap over my hand and I looked up. Enya glared at me with a concerned expression and sighed softly. "You don't need to worry, not everything is pink, nothing is perfect in this world, you will eventually find out what power your soul can achieve."

I looked at her for a while and ran my fingers through my bangs as I had used to do when I had been stressed and probably nervous.

"It is somehow ironical to hear that from someone who seems to be really close to perfection."

She acted in a really surprised way. "Thank you... but technically I'm not any average human being. I'm indeed a creation of my brother, reason why I don't even own a second ability."

The more I was staying into the magic world the more I was learning. It felt like that place had endless possibilities in a way or another. Right then I was staring at something that was not a human being? I guess that explained a lot.

"Please explain it to me, how is this even possible?"

She moved her hand to her scarf and removed it, she then removed her finger-less leather gloves only to reveal stitching in these zones.

"My brother made me out of various human parts that he liked during his necromancy ritual, reason why I might look perfect."

I thought while I was touching her stitches, she was too smart to be just a simple body puzzle. The thought of combining human parts made me gag slightly as well, only a truly dark mind could of came with such an idea, and there wasn't only the exterior, he probably had to choose organs for her as well.

"But how can you exist only from a body structure?" That was what really made me wonder.

"My brother duplicated his soul in order to give me life. His abilities are soul corruption and expert fire spell casting, as you witnessed I am only a fire spellcaster."

After the waitress gave us our drinks we continued on the weird yet interesting conversation.

"Was duplicating a soul fully possible in your case? I mean, you're clearly a girl... owning the soul of your brother?"

"Well, it surely worked and you're right, inside of me is trapped a boy soul. I and my brother are one person duplicated into two bodies, in different places at the same time doing different things but always being aware of the other one."

"Does that mean that if I touch you... your brother can feel it too?"

"Not at all. We only share what belongs to the psychical. Feelings, memories and information. What belongs to the physical is felt by each body in particular."

Enya focused on her hot coffee so I let her have a break from all my questions. I checked the time only to realise how fast the day passed, it was already five o'clock but that was what I could get from waking up so late.

"So tell me, any new friends that you have made?" Enya winked at me still sipping from her coffee from time to time.

"Well I befriended a guy named Bishen while I was taking the ferry-boat to here but I haven't seen him again yet. I guess I could also say that we are friends now... right?"

"Oh yea for sure we are." She chuckled faintly. "That's interesting, I thought you made a lot more friends."

" No, usually they just all stare at me but in reality I don't know any of those neighbours."

" Oh lord, all my brothers think that you are adorable."

Brothers? I had thought she had only had one that was the same person anyways. Who could think that I'm adorable? And why adorable, I wasn't a six years old or looking feminine or what not. My manhood was attacked once again.

"Excuse me..?"

She giggled and I clearly heard more faint chuckles from other tables.

"I meant the brothers of sin, the ones of the same dark nature as mine consider you cute, probably because you're the youngest around. How old are you?"

I muttered softly.

" I am seventeen."

" You surely have a long life in front of you, with that age." She laughed lightly again until she finally sobered up.

I sighed and asked her something that made me wonder as time was passing by fast.

"When will I find out what nature and abilities I own? What will I go through more exactly?"

She put back her gloves and scarf and looked straight into my eyes.

"You are in a magical field, your time will come in a matter of days. It is a hard path, a hard moment of your life and it is unavoidable as well. It will all depend on how powerful your body and soul are together and if they welcome the magic in a more or less friendlier way. Rest until you can and prepare, it will be a personal war."
