《The Deal of Tyler Mouret》-The Meeting- Chapter 2
Advertisement
My parents said to me I was in a coma for 2 days straight, that by the way surprised me pretty much and explained why I didn't feel so afflicted, even so, I still got some sprains in my body, but no fracture, by a miracle I guess, I imagine the suffering I would have felt to have been conscious in that moment, sure would have been insupportable, being truthful I missed already food from home, even if I was only a day in the hospital aware of my situation "Hospital food is horrible, except for the jelly" upon returning home I saw my brother waiting at the door.
— Hello little brother, I see you feel better, I'm sorry I didn't get to the hospital to see you with mom and dad, I had some matters to resolve —said my brother hugging me— But outside of that, now you are here, what if I make you all some breakfast, knowing how is the food in the hospital you, I am sure you are hungry, come on in, Jasmine is waiting for you in the kitchen—
Jasmine is Eliott girlfriend, she loves him dearly, a long time ago I thought she was some of those psychopathic girlfriends, now I know she is only alone, her parents live abroad and she don't have any other relatives, that's why she is always with Eliott, I guess is to not feel alone, she lives with us but is not something that bothered me at all, only caused me curiosity, but I knew she lived in an apartment in the center of the city when she meets Eliott she was pretty solitary, a little rough on the edges of treating people if you can put it that way, strangely my brother "tamed" her after they dated for a couple of months, she decided to move here, not without consulting with my parents, is not like it matters much, she pays rent to my parents because she works in a store at the mall, in the city, despite what my mother says to her about saving money for her future, a discussion that finished stuck in between a no and a maybe... "Well I will leave that to the side I am hungry" I entered the kitchen with everyone.

— Hello Jasmine, what do we have on the menu for today — I said with a smile.
— Hello Tyler, wow you look pale ¿Are you sure they treated you well at the hospital? —she says jokingly, but being truthful, I am Pale, well nothing that a trip to the beach can solve, sadly I am still looking class, I wonder what is happening at school, well I can find out later tomorrow, first food, then enjoy the day.
— Well little bro, ¿Do you feel better? you know it was a metal beam that fell in your head, I am still shocked how you are this healthy, except for the bandages on your head, it didn't create a major wound— Says Eliott with a strange laugh.
— All I can say is that I can be better and feel that in no way I would have survived that, but I think the food is primordial
—Jajajaja ok let's eat
After eating a banquet worthy of a "King" I go to my room and lie down on my bed, asking how I would have survived that, if that was another person, it would be certainly dead and not alive and kicking like me now, but I question ¿what that dream was? I feel its something very important but the only thing I remember is the letter "A", maybe its a name, ¿"Ais" perhaps? I don't know, everything else is lost in my conscious. After thinking about things, my dad enters my room.
— Hey Champ, I know you are having rest, but can you help me with something in the office real quick, I am still pretty bad with computers.
— Sure Dad, I will go —my father is a general manager in a local Company. Thanks to him the company got amazing numbers, but I don't understand all that shit, I help him with the computer because these things are getting better and better every year and in those upgrades is where I enter and find all those little tricks.
After explaining to him three times what is what, I go to the garden only to see my brother and Jasmine in their things, or what an abroad friend of mine would say "liberating heat", so I turned with a little blush in my face of embarrassment, I found my mom sipping on a cup some wine, while she was preparing the ingredients for lunch, is a custom of her, also she is a chef in a french restaurant, I stole some cookies from the kitchen and got to the balcony in my room, after lunch, I passed the day in the computer until it was dinner time and got to sleep.

When I opened my eyes I was not in my room, instead, I was in a room with strange symbols of various cultures and antique letters, and a trone at the end of the same room, in this I could see a shadow lingering but not defined, it began to talk to me.
— Well, Well if it isn't the human i "revived"
— It wasn't a dream ¿Right?
— ¿What? ¿did you truly thought that it was a dream? Wow, you are naive, whatever ¿What brings you to the Kingdom of Shadows? or better yet ¿How did you got here?
— You tell me, I appeared here and I don't even know or how
— You must be Joking, it is only possible to come here if you are dead or by various objects or rituals
— OK, it was any of that, and I doubt my bed is some mystical portal to an alternate dimension —I said with a mocking tone.
— Well, there are certain people or creatures even, that can separate their soul from their body or even take their complete self to other dimensions or worlds in some circumstances, but that kind of people only exist once a century and only one at that, and I believe its something absurd, and the majority of us demons consider those people a myth, although ¿how in the name of the First are you here?
— Wait, ¿You are a Demon?
— ¡ don't play dumb with me dammit! Is impossible you don't remember how you got here, ¿Even our deal? You truly are a fool and a useless human.
— Hold up, ¿i gave you my soul? —Oh my God I gave a demon my soul, ¡I am so fucked!.
— ¡You must a fucking idiot! if I had taken your soul, you wouldn't be here speaking with me, you are getting on my nerves, I just told you that there are people with the ability to separate their souls and so fort —Ok it is getting mad, that is bad.
— Well, I at least know your name begins with "A" and sorry that I ask, but ¿what was our deal?
— It looks like that metal beam hit you hard and steady —It says with a sigh— Our deal is that you have to gain and maintain my "trust" if you want to keep living and this is the last time I say my name to you, regarding your progress, you are doing an excellent job moron —That last was without a doubt sarcasm, who knew demons could be sarcastic.
— Now my name is Aishti Fateburn, remember it well human, there are no second chances after this, now get out of here —with a snap I appeared in my room looking to the roof, it was morning already, so there was no other choice to get up and go to school, but without a doubt, I was scared shitless now or more intrigued than anything, but I will not forget the conversation with that demon that calls itself Aishti.
Prepared to go with the mood of always, said goodbye to my parents, I couldn't say bye to my bro, he was still in his room, by the way, ¿where is Jasmine? that gives me a certain thought... I got out of home, wondering how in the heavens I was going to comply with that deal or even try to...

Ashen Skies
Father. Allfather. He who was crowned twice. It has been ages since you have ascended. Since you were crowned with godhood for a second time. Since you have left an empire for us to dwell in, to defend. I yearn for an answer; why have you forsaken us! With you gone, your people have grown weak, complacent, and proud. Proud of who they are, proud of their blood. That pride blinds their eyes and clouds their minds. They are fools, for they have forgotten the ways of the past. They have forgotten the fears of old. The one you had to bind until the end of the time. They have forgotten the dark beast with red jewels for eyes. The Wargr gnaws the walls of his cage even now as I write. Itching for the taste of blood. I ask for forgiveness, for until a while ago I too was one of them. I thought I saved your children from the foretold doom. I now realize the hordes of foes we buried were just like us. No fearsome beasts, no harbingers of doom. Mortals of different flesh, different kind. But I am awakened from that dream now. I see it. Every time I close my eyes, I see it. The cold descends as the Dark walks the land, And the crimson stars shine beneath, as the ashen storm claims the realm. I hear the beast roar as the chains of Rukh crack, Only then I know. Only then I realize. That it’s the end. Descend to earth one more time. Save the puny souls that are us. If not, if you let my dreams come true; then will all die under an ashen sky. Leol, a son of Vaella
