The Last Azvisalokya by Mii Ryouma (red scrolls of magic txt) 📕

  After what it seemed for both of them like eternity of torture. Six daggers found their way deep in flesh, swollen crimson eyes instead of bright golden, and deafening tremendous thunder took the place of her screaming voice.
The exhausted near-death Sahed, and for the seventh time repeated whispering,
"candraja
jenya
param ananda
azvisalokya"
while he was pushing his legs to continue their circling, his body above all possible limits, he added
"sasyesti" .

 

          The final moment came, no tears left. The blue Namakan child almost drained from her blood, was ready to go, knowing her little sweet brother will be alright.

 

          Her executioner opened his mouth for the last time, gathered all forces left inside him, closed his hand tightly on the last jeweled dagger's handle, then ended the ritual with "tamohara" while aiming directly to the heart.
At that time, his demon bodyguard appeared in front of the temple entrance, the word master still between her lips when his body hit the floor.

 

          Lucida horrified, instinctively retracted what left from her weakened fire energy field that was all over the temple in no time, and launched it, to protect her master's body.
That field had been protecting the sacred place from the terribly destructive power humming around, and of course from the two Namakan soldiers, who were searching for that kidnapped child, and managed to make it there.

 

          Every piece of the mesmerizing mosaic inside was cracked, along with the dead Azvisalokya thin body. Chaos took place, and every piece was falling shattered. The temple destruction was inevitable.

 

          The sacrifice blood began to turn into heavy smoke, and easily found its way to the outside. The Namakan child turned immediately to dust, and the temple collapsed on the rest.

 

          No one was protected. The two Namakan soldiers died, and Lucida was severely injured with no fire energy left within her, she used it to protect her master who was miraculously alive inside that floating fire shell, and his opened injuries were already healed.

 

A NEW ERA

 

          All the sacrifice blood smoke covered Namaka sky, it became the heavy red rain washing the ground, and purifying the oceans. That stopped all quakes and thunderstorms. When Sahed opened his golden eyes, he was drained from blood, but fully recovered inside Lucida's floating fire shell. His ring was already in his finger, the ritual vestment that appeared magically on him when he entered the temple was gone.

 

          He went directly to where his servant was lying, severely injured, she was dying. He could sense her life power extinguishing, and fading away. In fact, since he was the ultimate incarnation of pure life energy and light, he could sense, feel, and give that life energy.

 

          Sahed kneeled to be near his servant, he removed gently Lucida's helmet and put his right hand on her forehead, she was receiving the life energy needed to restore her powers. Finally, when she opened her eyes, her master was smiling. That was the first time ever in her entire life, seeing his icy freezing face doing such a thing, and a millennium was indeed a very..very long time.

 

- "It is good to know I can rely on your help." He put his smile into words.

 

          I am in heaven...
That was what she wanted to believe, for a demon she was.

 

- "Luci!" His voice interrupted her unusual thoughts, of course the priceless smile was gone.

 

          Lucida came to realize that she was alive, a huge smile on her face, and still lying on the ground. Deeply embarrassed, she instantly switched-on to her kneeling mode, and apologized:
- "Master... I do beg your pardon. I'm blessed to see you safe and sound." still kneeling, she put her skull helmet on.
- "Such a smart kid." He was mocking in a sarcastic tone, and continued "doesn't saatnee ring a bell?"
- "Oh..." she opened her mouth, and just did not remember how to bring her lips together.

 

          She forgot completely, in the middle of the past events, that Sahed was a saatnee. Saatnees had great powers, including an amazing regeneration rate. And her master was not just one of them, but he was born as their supreme leader.

 

- "Dear Luci! " shaking his head. And happy as a puppy she was, every time Sahed called her name. He stood up, turned his back to her, and raised his head admiring the moon.
After a long moment of silence, she stood up bowing respectfully her head. He turned to face her, put both hands on her shoulders, and spoke " the eclipse is over, another one will occur in about six months. "

 

          She immediately understood that her master had to stay on Namaka for about a half of a year, he could not jump from a dimension to another, when the bloody moon gate was closed.

 

          She had to return home, to report what happened on Namaka to the lord, alone for the first time in a millennium. She was Sahed's shadow since her teenage years.

 

          Her father was the one who took her to Sahed, it was the day when the lord gave that noble demon a chair in the elders council. He couldn't say no, defying the lord orders was the ultimate high treason. Eternal sleep (death sentence) was waiting to whoever had thoughts against the lord will.

 

          I can remember clearly that day as if it was yesterday; father came to the training place in our mansion, I was very happy to see him. He did not visit us often; he was the divinity servant, that's exactly the same as serving the lord himself.

 

          He took me to master Sahed place. Father had been begging master for three whole days to accept my services, as an apology for leaving his side, after fifteen hundred years. Finally master took me under his wings. That day marked the beginning of my real life.
Sorry father, I won't take your path, I will never ever left master's side.

 

Lucida finally spoke:
" I'll be back as fast as I can, master."
Not being able to hide her deepest secret inside the pleading look in her eyes, she added
"You need your energy, master".

 

          Sahed's golden eyes turned black, thirst and hunger was consuming him to the bones, the overwhelming craving for blood was printed in black veins on his face. He had never fallen in this state before, it bothered him a bit. That was the first time to him performing suchlike rituals, that drained him from blood. Regeneration, and healing power he used on his servant, also took a huge amount of his energy.

 

          Lucida looked away, tilted slightly her head to the left, exposing her neck. She was anticipating the bite she dreamed about for hundreds of years. To be the special one to her master, taking her blood in this intimate way was the highest privilege she could have received.

 

          Sahed inhaled, not blood scent or air, but strength to restrain himself from that act of shame. A divinity can't share intimate relationships with demons, or Namakans, or even with his own people.

 

          He stepped back, and opened his hand. A flying small sharp stone came to him in a high speed.
Sahed used it to perform a tiny cut on Lucida's hand. He took a few drops with his right forefinger, and licked it while he was healing the cut with the other hand. Not what she was waiting for, but satisfying.

 

          She kneeled again, waiting for his command, and didn't have to wait for long. He gave her a special message:
- "give my respectful regards to the lord" the definition of: go now.
- "Of course master, I will."

 

          Lucida immediately jumped to the highest point she could reach, swift scarlet feathered wings appeared when she said " bahirdvAra". A big black hole burst open and she rushed in, it closed immediately behind her.

 

          At that moment, the sphere of light appeared before in the temple from Sahed's book, returned to stop in front of him, bigger and then disappeared. A small blue grey Namakan, a very small one was in its place sleeping. That was Aenon, the Azvisalokya sweet brother she wanted to protect, while she was painfully dying.

 

          After one month, Lucida returned in a full moon night,
          five other lunar months passed,

28/12/1917,

          they went back, the three of them to the demons dimension Akma.

 

Eighty three years later... Aenon became the Namakan powerful servant of sahed, he was raised by the fierce demon Lucida, and taught and trained by the divinity himself.

 

the lifecycle of Akma: its energy was extinguishing, but things were not worrying. the lord in person had been always taking full responsibility of his own planet, and people.

 

          09/01/2001, the balcony of Sahed's castle/ Akma

 

 

 

         Sahed was laying in his ancient golden brown armchair, he was barefoot, and wearing a brown rob that matched perfectly his honey skin. Mesmerized by the red eclipsed beautiful moon. He had to close his eyes from time to time, the bloody moon gate was opened, and he could look easily for moon children energy in other dimensions.

 

          He closed his eyes maybe for the sixteenth time, looking for new golden eyes; a broad grin split his freezing face "found you, my beloved Nina".

 

          The longtime awaited Azvisalokya was born under the full eclipse, one of the moonchildren who had the most beautiful golden eyes seen in the entire existence. The purest life energy sparkling from the inside of the iris, with an innocent dancing gravity, inviting every soul deep in.

 

          Sahed wanted to keep his eyes closed forever, he forgot the bloody moon for a while, and that was a first. He had to fulfill his duty, to make sure the Azvisalokya would be protected until the day of the inevitably coming holy sacrifice.

 

He called for his servants " Luci, Aenon ". And (woooosh ) they appeared kneeling in front of him.

 

-"It's time to visit our friends on Earth... my homeland."

THE POINT OF NO RETURN

 

 

 

 

Nine days ago... Sunday 31/12/2000
Tampa: the county seat of Hillsborough County, Florida, United States.

          David Hades, the FBI field agent just returned from a long day surveillance mission, to the Tampa division headquarters. He was a special agent in this Criminal Investigation Division (CID), and was assigned to get information about a transnational criminal organized gang.

 

          The secretary general of the (CID) came directly to face him, almost running. David sighed, eying the
