~ 1930's ~

A hazel brown hair guy was a fool to summon me in the depths of hell. I sprung out in fire and glare at the fool. He widened his eyes in disbelief, and smiling?

"Hello fool! Apologies If you're expecting my brother, luci. He's quite busy at the moment so he just send me!" jump out, taking my default form. 

The man was  in awe in features, " Tell me, what do you want from me?" emotionless, I asked then he snap in reality

The man was  in awe in features, " Tell me, what do you want from me?" emotionless, I asked then he snap in reality. " I want knowledge. Superior knowledge" he replied. I rolled my eyes in annoyance, "Tch. What a prideful man" I thought to myself. 

Walking closer, I sense he tense up from his shoulders. "There rules in summoning me. However, you can't just summon out of the blue and demand knowledge" I scolded. " Is knowledge you want, I want something in return. Everything isn't free in this ugly world" adding, seemingly gotten interested.

"Ok, a shake from now 'til the end of time" he said, without I shake his hand, unwary of my intentions. " So, what do you want?" he asked. "I'll be staying here until your dying days for a limited time. Once you die, I'll consume your soul to fully escape my hell and live a second chance" I explained. Boy, the look on his face got shock that's what you get for not asking further questions. With a snap, I gave him knowledge of everything. About us, the world, and secrets no human could foretold. He fainted after that, I guess he's okay.

I left the place and walk through the busy streets of- what is this italy? or london. It doesn't matter, human civilization improve throughout Millenia. Looking around, I can see weird vehicle with four wheel moving with little movements. People gave me odd looks however I ignored. The sky, breeze that's the moment realizing that it was midnight. Few walk around whilst I kept pacing on a dark street with dimmed lights.

I  looked up the sky, gazing at the bright moon. Feeling the fresh air, slapping my face, It was this moment, I felt peace and away from danger, feeling comfort for the first time. "This is a safe place" out loud, positively smiling. After what I said, a gun shot echoes in an enclose space. A group of guys ran away from the scene, in panic they mustn't have notice me for what happened. I stood there like a statue, twitching my head in curiosity. With my ease, I head straight to the scene and saw unexpected.

A guy was lying , blood flooding. He doesn't seem to move, while upon close inspection. I presume he's dead, leaning seeing his hand like reaching out. Rolling my eyes, and try to console the man. "Unfortunate, seems like it's your time. Isn't fate cruel for you" I teased, laughing half way when the man grabs my wrist, in  my surprised. He gasped for air, and tightly for dear life. "H-help me... I don't  w-wanna die... Just yet" gasping, he puked out blood. I stare at him coldly and caressed his cheeks mockingly. "That's what people like you always wished. Death is unavoidable for humans, while living on long is torture for us. Wish contradicts the other's desire" I said.

The next thing is, he started sniffing. That's... Weird, confusion hits me first. "Why in the world are you.... Ya! crying won't change anything!" yelling the man despite his conditions. " At least, I get to live this crazy game called life" he quoted, then tears stream down on his cheeks. Smiling even facing his end, their human behavior is... Odd, even I couldn't puzzle them even today so does Luci. 

"You're very lucky, you've encountered a sympathetic guardian devil like me." putting my palm on his chest, my hand glow blue. "A gift for a gift. I'll give you a chance to live again" then blew his face and disappear in thin air. "He'll wake up like it was just a dream from his home" I thought, in the bush I can see a grim reaper passing through. He look distraught that his client is gone. " He lives. Now, chop chop!" that is the day I met him, on a verge of death. Begging for another chance to live.
