What have I done, I said to myself, kneeling without being able to see what we did to dad, he's only alive because Tera gave her life for him.
We just kept getting carried away, I'm pathetic, I'm supposed to be the oldest, but I was the first to let go of hatred and my instincts.
Not only did I tell him that I would kill him, I hurt him with my words. What kind of monster am I?
My sisters are paralyzed crying out.
The subjects who attacked us are lying without their limbs bleeding, but still alive.
Another subject appears out of nowhere and kills his companions.
I don't care about anything anymore, what I did is unforgivable.
I am a fucking shame.
The subject begins to chant and the souls of his companions are devoured by a demon. The flesh of the bodies is corroded by the demon's saliva.
Is dad still alive? I don't know, I just see him lying there, with his sword raw, blood comes out from his right side.
No, I no longer have the right to call him dad. I'm rubbish, I told him he wasn't our real father, I'm a bloody ungrateful brat, our life improved for him and only him, but at the slightest change we turned into slag. Mom would have beaten us for doing such a stupid thing, she never got out of hand.
I just know that we were stupid enough to almost kill dad for something so trivial, was it too difficult to use my light sorcery? Which Antonia will create a shield? What Anna will knock out the subjects with her water magic?
What did that lead to?
I don't care about anything anymore, they just come for me.
Please body respond. My body doesn't listen to me, I'm just paralyzed, I try to move, but I can't. I want to do it, I want to save Daddy and my sisters, but I don't, my body doesn't want to move, my sisters keep crying incessantly, Dad keeps bleeding.
As the sky turns gray and the rain begins to fall.
The demon moves with its heavy, thick body, with four hairy legs and two hideous horns on its head.
So this is where we get.
My little nieces are missing so much!
A great dragon falls from the sky and rips the demon's head off with its claws, while scorching the summoner with fire from its mouth.
I knew that voice, I knew who it was.
Aunt Velvet.
Seeing her is like seeing myself in the future.
Always with her wide-brimmed hat decorated with a feather, her tight black dress, the back of her dress transforms into wings similar to those of a dragon, allowing her to be in the air calm, while observing everything that happened. The rain does not touch her, as she uses her magic to drive her away, everyone knows that she knows how to use her magic to unimaginable levels, as she does not use her hands to use it.
"But they lacked to kill that thing" she points to Dad with contempt "that is still alive"
Two young men descend from the dragon, they were her personal companions, one of them was Astrea and the other did not know her, but she was dressed as elegantly as Aunt Velvet.
My sisters do not come out of the shock, but when they see her, their breathing shakes, they feel weak.
Anna wanted to say something, but stops.
Antonia doesn't say anything at all.
None of us have the strength to answer her.
"I thought it would be more difficult to do it" she exclaims bored "Well, I think you know what I'm coming for? Sure"
We do not answer anything.
"From what I see and my lawyer also sees, they do not have a place to live adequately and humans are not in a position to take care of them, is that true, Veronica?" she turns to her partner.
"If you love Velvet, they are also in constant danger due to the cult, this place is not safe for them," says the young woman named Veronica, while adjusting her glasses.
"This is going to be simple, they do not need suitcases, everything they need is in my mansion" emphasizes our aunt, as she approaches Daddy's body "they really are not the same person"
To everyone's surprise, Dad tries to speak.
"Please don't take them, it's the only thing I have in the world" begs Dad weakly.
"This thing hasn't died yet" exclaims Aunt Velvet contemptuously "I've waited so long for this" she gathers magic on her index finger and points at Daddy's head.
Please don't do it, Aunt Velvet! My body responds to me again and I run in the rain, while covering Dad with my body.
Anna and Antonia also do the same, the three of us get in the way.
Velvet gets upset.
"It was you who said it was not your father, that it was just a pet" she points out, Move!
DO NOT! I reply, "I will never do it."
"Don't force me, I'll do it by hook or by crook" she says annoyed.
I do the only thing I can do in this situation.
I kneel before her.
"I'll do everything you tell me, just don't do anything to her" I implore her, who stops her magic, the satisfaction surfaced on her face "I never imagined hearing you say that, Mackenzie, and well, Annabeth and Antonia think the same thing?
They do exactly what I did and they implore.
"We will do whatever you say" they say while they lower their heads.
"You can not imagine the happiness of my heart to hear them say that" he says happily.
Aunt Velvet goes to Astrea "only heal the serious wounds of this dirty human, what happens next is not my problem"
"Yes, he loves" answers Astrea.
"Ama Velvet, we are wasting time, remember that you have a meeting with the minister," says Verónica.
"I know, I know. But let me do something first. Burn the house "Aunt Velvet smiles at her dragon who was gladly devouring the demon, it was a huge animal which with its tail included was about 22 meters long, a thin body and feathered legs like its wings, but his body in general had scales, large eyes, with ears which he could move at ease and a large snout, the dragon takes one last breath and obeys what his mistress orders him.
The dragon opens its snout and shoots a blast of fire burning everything that was once our home.
I look at our aunt "b-but"
"I agreed not to kill him, but not to give him a chance. What happens with this dirty human from now on is not my problem "she exclaims calmly.
"Loves"
What's up Astrea?
Astrea was trapped by vines, which had come out of the ground and were now protecting Augustus.
So is that what made me uneasy? Exclaims Aunt Velvet.
I don't know what you mean, I only see those strange plants which caught Astrea.
Then a beautiful flower comes out of the earth, its size is that of a human, this flower opens, inside there was a woman with silver hair and bright greenish skin, wearing a low-cut dress decorated by multiple drawn stars.
"Well, well, if he was a sorcerer" exclaims Aunt Velvet without any impression "it doesn't matter, free my servant" she orders.
The strange woman lets go of Astrea, who walks away calmly.
"I will not let them touch my teacher" says the strange woman.
"Do what you want, but if you touch Astrea again I doubt you will come out alive" threatens Aunt Velvet.
The rain turns into a storm.
"Get on my dragon girls, it's time to go"
I try to look back.
"Don't look back," she scolds.
With my head down I must obey her, I don't have the guts to look at Daddy. After what I did, I am the least indicated. I got carried away and told him that he was not our father, I almost killed him, if it weren't for Tera ...
The realization that Dad was always a sorcerer, but a rare one, very different from Isabel and me.
"I'm sorry daddy, after all I don't look like you" says Anna as she takes my hand.
"We really didn't deserve you" exclaims Antonia sadly, "we were just fools"
If we were fools ...
We let ourselves go and this takes us everything.
Accept without question our aunt.
To hurt daddy.
To say goodbye to him while he is injured, unable to do anything.
To hell.
I let go of my sisters' hands and run to Daddy. His pact, which I'm sure is Tera, makes a way for me, releases his vines and lets me hold Daddy for the last time.
"Sorry daddy" I say like a spoiled child while crying.
"Please don't go girls," he says weakly, his wounds were closing. Apparently Tera wasn't just protecting him, she was healing him.
Get back Mackenzie now! Yells Aunt Velvet.
My sisters see that our aunt is out of the box and they also run to hug Dad.
They throw themselves at him knocking him down, which makes Dad laugh sadly, who had already been cured.
"Sorry daddy" they cry as they say it.
Then he hugs the three of us "please don't go" he repeats.
Something pulls us with great force, which makes us return to our aunt's side.
She is angry.
"It is always the same, no matter the time, if it is the same or not the same person, it is always the same, no matter how hard this human always tries," she exclaims irritably "but not this time, now they are under me. be careful and you can't do anything "
She is about to do something, but her lawyer stops her.
"Mistress should not do it, remember what you came to" she recommends.
Dammit! Get on the dragon now! She exclaims irritably, her beautiful face is full of anger.
"Take care dad" a lump forms in my throat, what I did today I would not do again, I will control my instincts anyway, I will not let them take me back.
I will master my dark sorcery, whatever it takes and whatever it takes, I'll see Dad again.
(Antonia)
I promise myself never to let myself be carried away by my being a witch, what I did today is unforgivable, I hurt Daddy, I will break the contracts with Mommy's invocations and I will do mine.
Whatever it takes, I'll see daddy again.
(Anna)
I promise that I will never try to harm someone ever again, especially Daddy, I will use my magic to care just as he does with us, no matter what we did to him.
Whatever it takes, I'll see daddy again.
As the dragon wanders away with his daughters, Augusto becomes depressed and his four evils wake up.
Depression.
Loneliness.
Low self-esteem.
Sadness.
He had lost everything again.
He had been left alone in a world he hardly knew.
He felt that he no longer had anything, he still had not recovered from what the girls told him, he thinks it is true. After a year he was awakened by reality, they were not his daughters, he was only fulfilling a promise.
Tell me Tera what should I do?
So did you realize, master?
The rain continued and Augustus was covered in mud, his clothes were destroyed. Tera bends down "that's up to you"
The human known as Augustus closes himself back to the world, for now he only has the same (or so he thinks)
While standing in what was once the entrance to her house is Astrea, who had stayed behind, she pulls out an umbrella and tries to get closer, but is stopped by Tera.
"Leave her Tera, it doesn't matter what she wants anymore"
Are you sure about that master?
"Yes, after all, what other harm can it do?"
"I'm sorry, she says" then she approaches and hands her a sealed document, "if my mistress knows what I did, she will kill me, but I think it's the right thing to do."
Augusto receives him discouraged.
"Please open it" she reaches down and covers it with the umbrella, the young witch whose emotions are a mystery shows a small grin.
Augusto opens it and reads it.
For Astrea
The material you sent is compatible,
The results are 100% identical.
What does that mean? Augusto asks.
"They are his daughters" answers Astrea.
