Angelic Demon (Darker Series #1)

Chapter 4

Seven

Demons like us are made from excessive torture and pain. We are also humans before. Normal humans that created sins and was dragged in the underworld to be punished. We became demons because of agony and wrath. And maybe, I was lucky enough to be appointed as one of the messengers of the dead.

But still, the pain that was inflected in me is something I will never forget.

If a sinful soul became a demon, he will be granted by powers from the council. They will decide for your destiny. Either you'll be a demon to spread evilness or a demon with a purpose.

But being a demon with a purpose also requires you to follow orders from the higher demons. And unfortunately, I was appointed under Aisthus. He's one of the Princes in hell and part of the council in lower position. He is also one of the most hated demons in the underworld. He wants to be on top, and he wants all demons to vow down for him.

Now, because of a mistake, I was dragged here in the mortal world again for a purpose. And with limited powers, I can no longer fasten this mission. Aisthus will be very furious if I keep on slacking myself here and do nothing. So here I am, trying to communicate and get some help.

After preparing the summoning circle, the fire from my hands are becoming visible. The energy from my body aroused and went to my arms.

I wasn't able to get some sleep since last night for this ritual. I cannot easily summon my apprentice because of my limited power. That means I need to call him through doing the basics.

The fire in my hands lit up excessively. I cannot feel the burning heat, instead I felt power and bigger energy.

I started chanting the right words for the ritual and concentrated to communicate with my apprentice. I need to send some signals to him.

Ilang minuto ang itinagal ng ritual bago natupok ang apoy sa kamay ko. Bumalik ulit sa kadiliman ang paligid at nawala ang ilaw mula sa summoning circle na ginawa ko.

I stood up from sitting and refreshed myself. I am hoping for my apprentice to receive my signal for him. I badly need him right now.

Ang apprentice ko kasi ang bahala sa mga bagay-bagay na ipinapagawa ko. Perks of being a messenger, kaya hindi ako nababahala sa mga mortal dahil mas-maraming alam ang apprentice ko sa mga tao kesa sa akin.

Malamang mamaya pa 'yon darating. He still needs an excuse from the keepers of the gates para makalabas siya sa underworld at makapunta rito. The keepers are very tight and ruthless. They don't want to be punished that's why they need to keep the gates locked.

But my apprentice is a clever demon, he can pass the gates and he will be here later.

Binuksan ko ang pinto at dumeretso sa ibaba. Wala na ang babaeng mortal at wala na akong ideya kung nasaan siya. She probably realized my real identity at minabuti niya nalang na umalis? Well fuck this! Hindi ko nga alam kung bakit ako napunta bigla sa lugar na 'to.

Pagpasok ko sa kitchen ay agad kong nakita ang mga pagkain. She probably cooked before she left. I was busy looking at the food when I saw the white paper underneath the plate. Kinuha ko ito at na-realized na isa itong sulat.

Hi! Sorry for not informing you earlier, pero kailangan kong umalis para magtrabaho. I need to earn money for our future, charot! I have a work and I will be home around 8PM tonight. Please eat the food and prepare the money when I get home.

If you want to cook something, please list down the ingredients you've used para mabayaran mo rin. Hehe

P.S : Paki-tapon naman ng basura sa labas, baka hindi makuha ng truck. XOXO
