DEMON 12 | TRUTH

[ insert playlist here ]


DID he said you were the next...what? As if reading your mind, Oyakata slips a folded paper but stops your hand from picking it up.

"This would be yours along with the book after our conversation, have patience."

Retracting your hand back, you obligated.

"Go on. Continue on what you're implying."

"As I've said, a prophecy. Being a succubus isn't easy on both sides. People fear what they are capable of doing and you fear us too. But on this term, you're the only one who's capable on changing the string of fate on our kind."

"Why?"

"Because you're the last descendant of the succubus blood. You may not be full-blooded but you are indeed the remaining one. Fuiji Hanabi, was not only a beautiful maiden living in the North Mountain but she was also a demon. Your father was a human fueled with power and you, were the key to ending the war between man and man-eater." The sun has started to set, giving the sign of danger that lurks beyond the woods once night rise.

"Have you been getting dreams or memories of your past life?"

You nod.

"Those are your collection of truth. When you were just a newborn baby, the village that you lived had found the curse your father sealed on you and to break it... A ritual has to be cite. Your people feared that your curse could erase every human and that is why they tried to summon a succubus only when the ceremonial end, that is when they realize the horrifying truth." Brushing your arm, you let your eyes dart outside the window - the information you're getting was
worse than you expected.

"A newborn has to be a full human. You were half of them, the ritual had came undone. Not only that the ritual had backfired but you were throned as the last origin after the sin your father made. Fuiji mentioned that it must have been the reason why you're a succubus." He pondered, perhaps recalling all the words your mother told him.

"Are you fucking serious? You're technically telling me that if my father didn't subsided in that stupid sin then I wouldn't be like this?" You mentally cussed, gesturing to your body.

Oyakata had to stop himself from lowering his eyes below your breast, the lust of a succubus was provoking. Damn scent.

"It seemed that way. As you know that succubus lead their life better than any demon. As far as I've been told, they are capable of using elements. There used to be a clan of four spiritual family of succubus, fire, water, wind, earth but never before someo-demon like yours."

Here I thought I knew myself better. You sweat dropped. He knew about me all along and never told me. Idiot.

"So what now?"

He paused, taking in your innocent eyes and those red plush lips that he could wish to-his mind wandered back to the conversation, "I understand if you're angry with what's occurring but you must know that it's done for a reason. Fuiji had managed to survive the attack and told me all of this, she had begged me to take you under my care. To make sure that I do every instructions she gave, I did. From when you left the Corps, came back and died. Everything happened exactly as told."

Your eyes widened again, "All of them?"

"Yes, only when you've unlocked your breathing techniques after encountering Akaza is the time I could tell all of this to you. I'm sure your memories of the past will come one after another. Take your time to process all of this. I have many more to discuss but it dawned to me that it's a bit late." Both your eyes trained once again out the wild, the night had already set. Probably reaching nine from how bright the stars twinkled.
