《Crimson Moon》Ch 51 unexpected meeting

Ember POV

Manami is walking in front of my and like a big child that's running around. It's her first time seeing snow, we've been here for 2 weeks walking towards the village of snow demons. She last checked on Tear 2 days ago cause she forgot. I mean her response to snow is like a happy kid getting a new toy. I'm guessing she never saw snow before.

I push Manami away as I see a big white snow ape. It tossed a icicles at us but I pushed Manami away. My legs are bleeding from the icicles sliding against my legs.

"Ember are you ok." (Manami)

"I'm fine it's just a scratch." (Ember)

Both me and Manami turned around to see Jessica bite into the snow ape's neck and dislocated his neck. Brutal but can you like not use your meal as a play thing for attacking your lord. She's completely fine, so stop going by your natural vampire instincts now. Also he's dead. Jessica is still drinking the blood quietly until she's sure his heart is no longer pumping.

I staggered, this reminds me of a familiar scene with the snow storm. I can see Manami seemed dazed too and confused. This I experienced once when I was still Yumi. There in the mountains I met a girl who looked 28 years old. Dark black hair and glowing tattoo everywhere but her face. Clear purple eyes and this gentleness before the storm. She told me she had fallen through a gap in this world. (Do know she met a destroyer.)

"Sorry I'm Iona. A destroyer, were formed from negative energy and the corrupt emotions that humans have but can't let out. Wherever we go is disasters. Well I'm from the realms. To put it into words I'm one of the few that dislikes to kill needlessly without reasoning. But I have to move around often because if I don't then natural disasters befall my surroundings. Famine, storms, plague, famine and drought. Or any ill omen you can think of." (Iona)

I blinked at her as she let me into her hut. She had created a hut for herself so deep into these mountains that are said to frighten even the dragons. As if they knew this'll place was dangerous.

"Realms? What is that." (Yumi)

"Ah I have to start there. Ok Realms is what your place calls the higher world. It's a term use daily to not confused with here where you live. Realms are like your world here where worlds also exist but ours is in the skies instead of having to look for portals for them. There's also races that are only found in the realms. Coming here actually gives me such a relaxing effect since it was like going on hard and then falling to a place with everything on easy." (Iona)

"You explained your race but what do you mean you were created from negative emotions does that also apply for other race having those negative emotions to create your race." (Yumi)

"Hmmm, you learn fast. Yes. I said human corrupt emotions for a reason. Lies, greed, anger, hate, killing intent and any of the other emotions that they built up in negative way that so much is leaking out but they have to go somewhere. When we are born the city or the area we're born in dies. People, animals and buildings. There was once a human that turned into one of us. That was a rarity that happened in this world. You see we mostly exist in the realms and a few creators also fell into here your world. But instead of looking for a way back they cooperate with the gods here to end a city or village before we can completely form. Though that doesn't work with a place with monsters and high class demons living inside the city. I'll say this 1 in a billion that's the chance that a human turns into one of us." (Iona)

"Why do you sound so sure." (Yumi)

"Because we know when another one of us is born. Though I have to ask do you remember hearing the name Izumi." (Iona)

"Izumi was Aries in her first life, an ancestor of mine. Your asking if I knew her why is that." (Yumi)

"I fell the same time she changed herself into a devil race. But that's the interesting part, her student that she taught was the one that changed. Fueled by her disgust towards her teacher who taught her magic own brother. She fell in love with him but wanted to know why her teacher who taught her forbid her from confessing. When I fell from the realms I was outside the city when I saw the phenomenon of the negative energy and corrupt emotions build up towards her. Ridus angered her. Shiki changed from a human into a destroyer here in your world. Us destroyers have to exist as the same time as creators. Meaning we have a rival that's created as the same time as us to negate us." (Iona)

"But this one was interesting, a human here in the worlds changing due to her emotions and her high hatred towards the destruction dragon. She found out he kept killing her teacher in many lifetimes because his strong sense of justice he tried to push on her(Izumi). Shiki changed into a destroyer that could kill dimensions. Our tattoos have that meaning what we can kill or our beings are craved into our souls. She almost succeeded too but he was saved. It's interesting to see humans change." (Iona)

No I'm more scared of your thinking it's interesting to watch a disaster unfold in a city.

I woke up with a start from the memories inside a log cabin. A black haired girl smiles at me with a smile.

"Iona." (Ember)

"Good to see a old soul of the old. Your alive and well Yumi. But that's a new body isn't it. What's your current name." (Iona)

"Ember. Where's the other two." (Ember)

"They're sleeping. So traveling with vampires now." (Iona)

"I don't wish to hear that from you. You never finished explaining." (Ember)

"Oh right about creators and destroyers. Counterparts of a whole. There are mostly females for creators. Destroyers have a high male ratio, there's less females. That's also why things are chaotic. You see they're highly impulsive and goes by their emotions they got from when we're first born and use that as a way to feel emotions. Rather you can say they feel disgusted by the other races human emotions that created us. But since they're so few of us females we tend to hide ourselves from the world itself even if we do have the impulse to do so. It's rarely but sometimes holding it in can cause us to go insane. So even if I want to live peacefully with people I have to cause 1 or 2 disasters by hand by myself every year or so. That's the thing we don't have a choice about. Either that or go insane." (Iona)

"You have it harsh too." (Ember)

She just stared silently into the fireplace.

"Whatever happened to the human that you said changed into a destroyer." (Ember)

"Shiki you mean. She is alive that much I know. Ridus is her target, a destruction dragon. Immortals can die by immortal killing weapons. But as you know destruction dragons are like roaches so her abilities of killing a dimension mean she can end him easily. All I know is he's chasing his sister down and shiki is chasing him."

"Ouch. His sister is thankful he saved her from the wounds those years ago. That's why he's still alive now. But I remember her saying she hates him but isn't going for revenge cause she owes him. Though she'll kill him if he tries to kill her." (Ember)

"Karma is coming back to him hard." (Iona)

Yami POV

Why does she tell me this now. That our world will soon be chaos. Kazuki your hiding something else from me too aren't you.

"Celestial fairies. They're also gods and goddesses but they exist in realms. Living life without interfering with humans as much as possible. But many seek them because each of those celestial fairies have a special power they're each born with so people tend to massacre their families and take the children at a young age to enslave for themselves." (Kazuki)

"Just how much do you know." (Yami)

"Bits and peices of information. Why do you ask." (Kazuki)

"Because it seems like you know how their world works more than ours." (Yami)

"I do know this their time era is weird all over. One village can be in traditional edo as Earth terms it, or another part of it can be medieval and there are towns and cities in modern times in the realms. But these places are separated by monster infested areas. But the cities and towns people are never able to go to these cities or the medieval cities or countries they can go other modern ones without having to go through the monsters. I guess me knowing much can be counted on studying from my teachers, if your jealous don't ask." (Kazuki)

"You cheat." (Yami)

I pouted but wasn't angry at her at all. She just didn't feel like the need to tell me it. Stupid Aist we all got by the Fates. As I said before they're a soul race. They don't live like us nor the humans here. Dried wastelands and they use their abilities to their fullest while developing their abilities to see and alter fates by living on those lands. This is to learn their control. But if anything this race is powerful to change even a god's fate.

Angering one is just crazy. Anger the whole race and your screwed over for your next lifetimes. A sigh escapes me as I held Kazuki by the hand and ran all the way to my mother's home. Aletheia my mother, though her name is truth. Us Phoenixes can see when someone lies so I get the name is kinda weird. See when someone lies I see a mist around them after that sentence they lied with. It's annoying since I know it's a word they used that they lied with. That was back when I was Dia now, it's more like I see the stupidest things when someone lies. Want to know? Your curious right. That's the funniest thing that can happen to them. They're literally lit up on the word they used as a lie. It makes me laugh cause when others see it they're like what the fuck is this. Not my fault. Please don't do so when your around me. Humans are funny when it happens. But most Phoenixes it isn't something this drastic nor are others supposed to see how you see it.

For example Claria sees the sentence when someone lies and the word in the said sentence glows. Lying to a Phoenix is just honestly stupid. If humans can't even understand that after thousands of years they're idiots.
