Chapter 34 - Chapter 33: An unusual encounter at the cemetery.

Sakolomé and Salomé were returning home after having lived this confusing day.

There was a strange silence between them, neither was ready to start a new conversation.

Arriving home, they were not even in the mood to eat or talk with the others, but they would still have to explain the situation.

After that, Sakolomé took a shower and went to his room to sleep, he couldn't stop thinking about Agatha's kindness and the fate that had taken his life afterwards.

He covered himself with his blanket and started crying inside.

The news of Agatha's death had been announced at school by Mrs. Alia, and that those who would like to go to her funeral should speak out.

The whole class had spoken out to go.

The long-awaited day, everyone found themselves at the cemetery, watching Agatha in a coffin and who was soon going to be buried under a freezing rain.

There was also Bakuzan and Bakuran without forgetting Salomé who was only crying while hugging Bakuzan.

Sakolomé sighs and looks at his brothers.

Sakolomé: Guys, I'm going for a walk!

Bakuzan: Walking in a cemetery?!

Sakolomé: I don't want to be here right now, I'll come back to you!

Sakolomé goes to the other side of the cemetery and leans against a tombstone, he starts to cry and couldn't stop blaming himself.

Sakolomé: If only...sniff..sniff...if only I hadn't left at that moment, if only I had stayed with you Agatha until 7pm you wouldn't have died, I blame myself...you weren't able to escape this creature given the state of your foot...sniff..it annoys me!!!

Sakolomé starts hitting himself on the head several times.

Sakolomé: Why...why...why!!!

"Hey oh, can't you cry in a more professional way?!"

A voice suddenly retorts.

Sakolomé stops crying and looks around him, he didn't see anyone.

Sakolomé: I must have dreamed it, who would want to venture into this kind of place here at the cemetery?!

"People like you and me my friend!!!"

This voice replies again.

It was the voice of a young girl, but what was this voice doing in such a strange place.

Sakolomé: Hey, show yourself, where are you?!

"Here"

The little girl's voice echoes in the air.

She was levitating.

Sakolomé looks at her and notices that she was rather small, with a strange helmet on her head that seemed to be made with a goat's skull.

The helmet was half and took up just a left part of the girl's head.

She also had a necklace on her neck that followed with a chain in the middle.

The girl landed on the ground and said.

"So what's the matter, what are you doing in such a remote place to cry?!"

Sakolomé is intrigued by the little girl's appearance.

Sakolomé: Um... please I would like to know, what are you exactly? A human or a humanoid mutant?!

The girl smiles and starts to levitate again.

She lands above the tombstone that Sakolomé was leaning against earlier.

"I am a creature that very often terrifies humans by my name, I don't think you've ever seen one"

Sakolomé is even more intrigued.

Sakolomé: Um... don't try to confuse me, come on tell me what are you?

The girl stretches and her stretch is followed by a yawn like a little cat before lying down on the tombstone.

"I'm a demon!"

She says.

Sakolomé's eyes widen.

Sakolomé: A demon? What would a demon be doing in a cemetery?

"I live here, it's quieter than where you're gathered!"

Sakolomé sits down for a moment and thinks under the demon's gaze.

She asks.

"You shouldn't stay in this rain too much, you humans are fragile, this rain can make you sick!"

Sakolomé: I'm not such a weak human, don't worry!

The demon smiles and says.

"If you weren't so weak, why were you crying like a baby just now?!"

Sakolomé blushed and said.

Sakolomé: Um... Hum... I thought no one saw me, I wanted to let loose because I lost a friend who died a week ago, her funeral is today, at the other end of the cemetery, there are people and that's where it's happening, and since I didn't want anyone to see me crying then....

The demon looks at Sakolomé who seems very thoughtful.

"You weren't too surprised by my race, that's cool!"

Sakolomé: Meh... I just tell myself that it doesn't matter, you're a demon and you didn't try to hurt me so that's fine with me!

The demon is still looking at Sakolomé who still seems thoughtful.

"This girl, you must have loved her a lot!"

Sakolomé: Let's say it was risky, she was so nice, it's the first time I've seen someone be so nice to me and my family in this city, especially of her generation!

The demon continues to look at him.

"You're a killer man, right?!"

Sakolomé is surprised and answers.

Sakolomé: Yes of course, how did you know that?!

"I can read you like an open book, all the information about you is easy for me to perceive!"

Sakolomé: What? Stop looking at me then, how can I hide my information?!

Said Sakolomé who seems to panic.

The demon starts laughing and says.

"Haha, even if I don't look at you I can still have access to your information!"

Sakolomé: but damn it's unhealthy to do that!!!

"Your existence is still linked to the body it's normal you are still too weak, you could not be able to hide your information properly like that, your existence must rise, make your consciousness sit in your being and thus you will be able to control everything and hide everything, or you can change your sources and become the chōshinkū so all your information will be hidden in your new being which would be something related to what is not, the void for example?!"

Sakolomé did not understand what she was talking about.

Sakolomé: Uh...what?!

The demon smiled and said.

"Sorry, I forgot that you weren't able to understand that yet, so little human, keep telling me about yourself!"

Sakolomé: Hum.... what's your name?!

"My name is Veldana, I'm a demon from hell, I've been around for over 10 billion years!"

Sakolomé: What? That's not bullshit?!

For Sakolomé, what Veldana was saying was unthinkable, it wasn't possible to live that long.

Veldana: I'm telling you the truth, you know we demons from hell like to migrate to other worlds that are better than our native world, the world of myths, of existence or whatever as long as we leave hell Hum.... demons from hell rarely migrate to the world of existence, they mostly prefer the world of myths!

Sakolomé: But what are you talking about like that?!

Veldana: Well what? I chose the world of existence because it's calmer and I don't risk getting bored here!

Sakolomé still couldn't follow her, in the end he thought she might be crazy.

Veldana: Hum... wait I'll introduce you to a friend!

Sakolomé: oh... a friend?!

Sakolomé thinks that maybe it's better, because the friend of this demon could be more explicit than her.

Veldana: Gorgonax, come to me!!!

A breach opens in front of me and a particular creature comes out.

It was extraordinary, a kind of creature that was both a man and a goat came out.

He was muscular, with a human torso, a goat's head and goat's legs covered in thick fur.

He had huge horns and his presence chilled my blood and froze me with fear.

Sakolomé: Gh...ghh...what's that?!

Veldana: It's Gorgonax, a demon from hell like me, he also migrated here, we met here by the way!

Sakolomé trembles like a leaf and Veldana had noticed it.

Veldana looks at Gorgonax and says.

Veldana: hey, Gorgonax is metamorphosing, you're scaring him there!!

A mass of smoke swallows Gorgonax who changes into a very small goat, almost 30 centimeters high.

Sakolomé no longer trembles, he looks at him and says.

Sakolomé: Huh...is it still him?!

Veldana: Yes, be careful, Gorgonax doesn't speak, he doesn't have speech unfortunately because...

Sakolomé interrupts Veldana.

Sakolomé: I would never have believed that this little goat was him, that's two completely different people!

Veldana: Yes I know!

"Hey Sakolomé"

A voice rings out.

Sakolomé: but... it's Salomé's voice, I think my family is looking for me!

Veldana smiles and says.

Veldana: Well you can go, we had the pleasure of knowing you, Sakolomé!

Sakolomé: Huh? How do you know my name? I never told you!

Veldana: I told you I can read you like an open book, come on you can go!

Sakolomé smiles and says.

Sakolomé: Very well, I hope to remedy that one day, goodbye Veldana and you too Gorgonax!!

Then Sakolomé turns around and goes towards Salomé.

Salomé was with Bakuran who both kept looking for Sakolomé.

Sakolomé comes to them and says.

Sakolomé: hey you two, I'm here!!

Salomé and Bakuran were finally happy to see Sakolomé again.

Bakuran: we've been looking for you for a while to leave already, uncle Baham came to get us with his car!

Salomé: Look how soaked we are with this rain!

Bakuran: Seriously, we shouldn't have worn jackets, especially since I hate them!!

Salomé: Hahaha you're not professional Bakuran!!

Sakolomé watches Salomé and Bakuran bicker and then he smiles, he liked this harmonious atmosphere at the saint of his family.

Then he notices something.

Sakolomé: oh...

He looks at the sky and the rain had stopped, small rays of sunshine illuminate the entire cemetery.

Salomé: Oh.. look the sun is finally here!

Sakolomé: indeed, well let's go home!

Sakolomé looks at the sky again, seeing the dark clouds of the rain gradually dissipate, he smiles and says to himself.

(I may not have had the opportunity to discover you more, or even know you better, but I hope that from where you are you feel very well, rest in peace, AGATHA!)
