The Dream

I was in a forest, alone. I cried out, but there was no one there to hear me. I wandered around, hoping to find someone. There in a tree, was a chameleon. “Unukalhai,” It cried frantically in Vindemiatrix’s voice, “Wake up!” I awoke.

I got up with a start. There was cold sweat on my forehead. Mia was looking down at me worriedly, I sat up, “Are আপনি okay?” she asked severely, her eyes were hard. “Fine.” I said. “I just had the weirdest dream.” I just realized what I was saying. If Vindemiatrix were a cat, her ears would have picked up. “Did আপনি say আপনি had a...

Whales, the sight, and understanding…

We flew for what seemed like forever. I found out another thing about Aundre, he get’s bored on long trips…….

“Are we there yet??” he whined, AGAIN. “Obviously not. Otherwise we would have landed already, অথবা we would at LEAST see land.” I ব্যক্ত annoyed দ্বারা his impatience. He had nothing to add he just pouted for a few minutes. Just then he looked down at the water. “I saw something!” he shouted, “Fly lower!” I obeyed, for the first time. We were only about 20 feet from the water. All of sudden, a huge spout of water shot up straight...

I walked away. 'Poison…' I thought shaking my head. It was the biggest lie that ever graced my lips. I had almost turned him into a demon. And if that weren't enough, I had connected us now. Turning someone into a demon had a price. We lived off of one another. So if I died, so would he. And vise-versa. If I would have waited any longer before performing the spell he would have transformed completely. Something really does happen to me today, but not poison exactly. আপনি see, when a demon reaches 15 in human years they gain the ability to transform other stars into demons… But the thing...

"A WARNING" It ব্যক্ত it was written in Aundre's blood. It was signed, "VINDEMIATRIX."

I sharply took in a breath, I could read it. This means, it was written in Rishima. We weren't alone. 'Could that really mean--' my thoughts were interrupted. "Hey big sister." someone ব্যক্ত behind me. I whipped around, "Who are you?" I stood up and took a step closer , as if to threaten her.

*

"Vindemiatrix," I bowed mockingly my hair swung down and almost scraped the sand, "call me, Vindemiatrix." She stared at me astonished, I could tell that she recognized the name even though she didn't know me. "Capella,...

I have a worlds worth of things on my mind…

I was worried about Vindemiatrix. For one thing she could go crazy at any moment and try to kill us, and (2. She had become a swallower. At least she acted normal. For her. Her normal self, as আপনি will see, is a narrow-minded, stubborn, intimidating, touchy, over-sensitive person with a dark sense of humor.

She flew beside us with a sort of grave face, as if something was on her mind. “Are আপনি alright?” I asked her. She looked up startled, shook her head and turned frontward again. “Fine, fine.” she said. “You sure?” Aundre asked, he looked...

It started, with a star…

How many times have আপনি fallen in প্রণয় with someone আপনি know আপনি can't be with.…? Not for anything... আপনি can't run away, and they can't প্রণয় আপনি back....

or-- won't.....

I am a falling star. I am Ashtaroth. That is my human name, my real name is Unukalhai. I am part of the constellation Serpens Caput. Every তারকা that falls dies when it hits the ground-- Except one. It is very seldom, but, if the world needs help... The chosen star, when it falls, does not die. It, in fact, turns into an angel. আপনি must know that all দেবদূত are stars. However, only one can exist...

'What to do, what to do…' I thought. I was bored. I wanted to go to earth, where things happened.

Of course, Vega wouldn't do anything. He never did anything. So here I sat, doing absolutely nothing. Alright, I guess my side of the story isn't very interesting either. All I could do was set up curses to put on people and wait for the curse on me to take over me entirely. And putting curses on people bored me. Watching people suffer gets old after a while. I would just have to wait for the right moment…

Just then, Vega walked in. He looked the same as always, his hair was so blonde it was...

The Chase

Vindemiatrix and I didn’t leave the পরবর্তি day. We agreed that we should stay put until Aundre and I were fully recovered. We were both in bad shape. Aundre was worse. He hadn’t even woken up.

When he did Vindemiatrix was just saying, “I did something really stupid.” my sister ব্যক্ত to me, “I did something really stupid…” Just then I heard voices.

“I hear ‘um!” a young voice wailed. My sister and I crept across the cave floor, I pressed myself against the দেওয়াল and turned my head slightly to look around the দেওয়াল of the cave. There was a group of men about 12 অথবা so....

Curses and Death

I woke in the middle of the night breathing heavily, and in a cold sweat. I had a dream. It was the same as before, only uninterrupted. I’ll take up from the part where I was interrupted last, the chameleon. It spoke to me, in a different voice. The same as when Vindemiatrix had screeched out ‘kill the human’ in a voice that wasn’t hers. It ব্যক্ত a spell, a powerful one too. This is what I heard:

Lizards, snakes, and widow’s tongue,
Heart of murderer and দিন is done.

Come, oh come, oh come my dear,
There is something আপনি need to hear.

Half past mid-night on the 29th,...

Vindemiatrix

“Now we’re in trouble!” I yelled. “We have to land somewhere!” “What!?!” he asked shocked. “You want to land, when people are trying to kill us?!?” “We have to land somewhere, অথবা we’ll be seen again! Besides they aren’t chasing us yet…..” I told him.
‘I hope..’ I thought. We had to fly for a while before we found the perfect spot, a ‘deserted island’. If আপনি want to call it that… It wasn’t completely uninhabited, but the side we were on was deserted… I saw a cave, “Perfect!” I yelled. “What?” ব্যক্ত Aundre. I ignored him. We landed...

Apologies and captives…

“Ahhhhhhh….” he screamed. “Hey,” I ব্যক্ত “I never caught your name.” “It’s Aundre!” He called up to me. “What’s your name?” “It’s Ashtaroth.” I said. Just then we made a steep dip, Aundre screamed. “Calm down and be quiet!!” I ব্যক্ত forcefully. “I’m afraid of heights!” he yelled “What!?!” I ব্যক্ত “You begged and begged me to let আপনি come and now আপনি tell me you’re afraid of heights!” “What!?! আপনি kidnapped me! ” He cried out furiously “Why did আপনি make me come anyway?!?” He screamed. I thought quickly “In the...

Exotic places and things…

‘He was lucky,’ I thought, ‘I could have let him fall.’ Why I didn’t, I don’t really know. I just… decided not kill him. That’s all. I carried him across the border line of Brazil…..

“What about you?” I asked. “What about me?” he replied. “You interrogated me, now it’s my turn.” I ব্যক্ত grinning. “But, there’s nothing interesting about me…” he trailed off. “You forget I am a star, everything about this world is interesting to me.” I said. “Well…” he said. “What do আপনি want to know?” “Everything.” I said. He...
