"Don't be sad like that it isn't like we won't see each other again Ira" He smiled to her. Ira started to shake and suddenly stood up.
"I should have just told you back then already" and she left after saying those words. Rain just came after Ira left far away for Malum not capable of seeing her.
Till the bus came Malum was fully drenched in water and looking at the sky he was thinking why Ira reacted that way and what she meant. He entered the bus when it came just standing as he did not want to make the seats also wet from the bus. After 5 bus stops Malum got out of the bus he looked around the neighborhood the bus station would stop seeing no difference.
`It does surprise me that all these houses don't resemble any of the houses I usually see´
The houses nowadays are looking much more advance as science came together with what the humans who came in first contact of mana and QI, they made more advances in the millenniums. All houses would have nanorobots on the outside of the walls and rooftop to protects from rain, snow even hail as they were extremely durable, they were also using space magic so they could be built like medium houses while the inside is 4x bigger. Malum snapped out from these thoughts and walked home.
"If I had knew that it would rain today, I would have taken an umbrella with me"
"Why use such an umbrella when I could just help you"
The same voice that was at the school appeared again and this time Malum was sure he didn't imagine it. As he felt how something from his hand was coming out it was at the form of a black goo which started to take shape of a crow that sits on Malum shoulder. Malum panicked and tried to get it off from his shoulder, but it started to talk
"Don't overreact like that it your father had sent me to you"
Malum became silent and stopped trying to shake the thing off from his shoulder. Malum was just standing there not reacting to anything neither noticing what was happening around him too. One of the wings shaped to a fist punching Malum hard enough to get him back to reality.
"Stop dozing off now and go...." Before it could finish it words Malum grabbed it and shook it.
"WHAT ARE YOU" He shouted to the thing.
It broke free from Malum grab and the wing that became a fist turned back to the wing shape which it could now use to fly. It looked at Malum and had an annoyed voice.
"I will explain It for you but call me Gluttony understood and you are now my Master as your father wanted that"
Again it said that his father wanted it, but Malum had no idea who his father even was as he had died before Malum was born. Hearing that his father had send it to him was just not plausible for Malum as he didn't think his father could love him even if he had not meet him before he only knew motherly love and nothing else.
"Oi you should stop thinking too much into and let's go home I already dried your clothes and consuming the rain, so you don't get wet is annoying"
Gluttony voice sounded more annoyed now but that caught Malum attention, and he saw that what it meant. His clothes were as dry as if it didn't rain and when he looked up, he saw how the raindrops couldn't reach him, but would all disappear. Gluttony sat on Malum shoulder and started to pull his hair and pulling to where his house would be.
"OK I GO NOW STOP PULLING" He ran to his house opening the door and closing behind.
"I'm home mom"
No answer came to Malum he took his shoes off and walked to the kitchen seeing a note on the table saying he should not worry about her.
"Hey why are you staring at it so much" Gluttony said it annoyed again
"How about you stop being annoyed you weird thing"
"I told you to call me Gluttony!" it replied almost instantaneously.
"Fine Gluttony then go down from my shoulder and let us talk"
"Fine with me kid"
Gluttony jumped down from Malum shoulder and landed on the table. Malum pulled one of the chairs and sat on it. He looked at Gluttony who was still in the shape of a crow.
`Just what is that thing and why did my father send it to me, but my bigger question is since when was it with me´ Malum continued to stare at Gluttony with these thoughts.
"I start explaining then as I said my name is Gluttony and as you can guess from my name it is one of the seven deadly sins. Your father was my previous Master and at his dying breath he told me I should watch over you, but it hurt my pride to serve someone like you"
Gluttony was just blunt and honest and hearing that hurt Malum he did not expect to hear that from the thing that served his father.
