A very light smile spread on Winston's face.

"Power means nothing without feathers, if you want power, you need feathers", Frank said with his eyes glittering while he said it.

"then how to get it?"

Frank giggle and said,

"It's not easy getting a feather, my friend. You need to make deal with the devil to get his feather"

"What kind of a deal?" Winston asked curiously.

"Deal to live forever in hell, you can't ever be free", Frank said with serious eyes.

"And if you are ready to do that, he will offer you a feather but also in return you need to give souls as a tax. If you provide a soul to devils, feathers will make you more and more powerful. But if you fail to do so, that feather will abandon you. And you will be left only with the curse to be trapped in hell forever", Frank said, this time his face became even more serious.

Both were silent for a while, and Maria returns with white colour toxins. She has a beautiful smile on her face, which lightens Winston and Frank's mood.

"What were you guys talking about?"Maria said as she gives, both the drink she carried in her hands to Winston and frank.

Frank took a sip from the drink and said,

"Your friend here is an ambitious man"

Maria didn't say anything, just blushed and sat between them.

"But if you have to give souls to the devil, with all that power you can capture anyone and give it to him", Winston said, suddenly realising something.

" That's the trick, my friend, the devil will ask for the soul from his and other territories too. Every devil wants to be more powerful than others. Souls in his territory are like his own, he can have them whenever he wants", Frank takes another sip from the glass as his throat starts to feel dry with so much talking.

"It's a nasty game of power my friend, everyone tries to snatch from each other whatever they can", he continued.

" I have seen power before, but what seems exciting here is the power without accountability. You have power and you are free to do whatever you want to do. That is what I was looking for my whole life. Power without accountability is something else." Winston said while taking a sip from his glass.

Frank smile while standing on his feet, and said,

"You, my friend, is something else. I like you. I think we will be good friends", then he looked at Maria and said,

" Maria makes him happy with your magic moves, this one on me" and he walks away with a smiling face.

Maria puts her hand on Winston's penis, and said,

"I have to give you my service, I don't take charity?"

Winston drops his glass on the floor from his hand and starts kissing her. Maria kissed him back with the same enthusiasm. Maria starts undressing Winston while kissing him, while she was already naked. Within a few seconds, both were naked like a newborn.

Their bodies met lips to lips. Chest to chest. Thigh to thigh. And the friction began between two immortal elements, in pursuit of mystical pleasure.

Winston was wandering through the street in the city. In his mind, he was thinking about something. The Streets were filled with the usual hustle and bustle. People selling something, shouting. Arguing. Negotiating.

Suddenly into the crowd, he felt like he had seen a familiar face. He stops and turns to look back. It was a hyena who started walking as he noticed Winston looking at him.

It was a hyena from the hunt with a scar on his face, the leader.

"But what is he doing here?" Winston thought in his mind.

"Whatever", he thought and started moving on his path. But suddenly something stuck in his mind and he turned back towards the hyena.

"Hey", he shouted at the hyena.

As the hyena heard his voice he started running.

"You stupid fucker! Stop", Winston shouted even louder and the hyena started running even faster.

Winston starts running after him.

"You dumb motherfucker! Stop, I am not going to hurt you", he shouted again while running.

But the hyena was in no mood to believe him and he kept running. Through the street between peoples. Both kept running, hitting everything that came in between making way through it.

Hyena was way faster than Winston so he easily left Winston far behind. But Winston was way smarter than a hyena.

So Winston let the hyena slip away until the hyena believed that he was safe. And Winston pretends like he has given up.

Hyena was happy that he was safe and walking straight with a smile on his face. He was tired so he was walking slowly, catching breath. In the meantime, Winston runs through a different route and reaches the street where the hyena was walking.

"How far are you going to make me run?"Winston said while walking calmly on the side of the hyena.

Hyena was shocked to see Winston there, and he was about to run but grabbed him with his hand around his neck.

"You animals are dumb motherfuckers. Why do you have to do exactly the opposite of what I ask you to do?"Winston said while sitting on the side of the road catching his breath while holding a hyena under his arm.

"What do you want now? Aren't you satisfied with already selling enough from my group?", hyena groaned.

Winston didn't say anything but kept looking at him while his breath reached a normal pace.

"I am not here to sell you. What the fuck! Did you not hear me shouting from my ass that I don't want to hurt you", Winston said while losing the grip of his arm.

Hyena sits straight and rotates his neck to relax the muscles of his neck.

" I thought you were bluffing, It May is another trick to trap me.", hyena said as his neck started to feel normal.

"It's fine. I would have done the same", Winston said while looking at him. And Both chuckled looking at each other.

A few minutes passed with silence.

"I have something to offer you?", Winston said, finally breaking the silence.

"And what is it that you want in return?", hyena said, adding a little pause to the sentence.

"Absolute loyalty," Winston said looking into his eyes.

Hyena went silent for a while. A wave of heat was running through the air, even though there was no sun. Where does this heat come from? The usual question will arise in any sane mind. Both of them were feeling the sweat between their arms and legs.

"And what do you offer?"The hyena finally speaks, breaking his silence.

" Humanity", Winston said instantly.

Hyena laughed a sarcastic smile, his ugly face with a scar started to look even uglier with that laugh.

"You sound like those religious saints who sell heaven like heaven is his property. But my friend I am not that stupid", hyena said with a bit of resentment.

Winston didn't say anything instantly; he let the hyena have his moment. He knows that when you offer a diamond to a beggar he will think of it as a joke.

"Okay, so I think. You have decided then to live your whole life like this. Being pathetic without any self-respect. Running here and there for a bowl of soup", Winston said, with outrage in his voice.

"Tell me that you want to be human. If not then fuck off from here and I will never bother you again. But if you want this then you must take every little chance that comes in your way. Even the smallest one. Even the Smallest and most unrealistic hope that I am offering you today. You should take it", he continued and paused.
