POV Main

There is this saying: Happy end was yesterday, today we must live on. And I felt like that. We won against Ahriman’s Order, afterwards we took day off, to celebrate and recover, and following day was return to ordinary live.

There was different quality in the air, as we consider ourselves as strong and successful. Coal told us, that he was almost million percent sure, that decreasing will mixture was used on cultists. It was kind of big news, because that meant, that except Diana, rest of cultists were punching bags, if we would use [Will resonance]. And Diana would be out of picture eventually. Asmo acted, as we were new Diana for him. He would agree to anything, we would told him to do.

Former cultist Andy, which was called by alias Hail since, was waiting out of farm, until Asmo would get to level three. It was mainly, because Asmo didn’t like Hail. He hated other cultists even more, but still, he told us, that higher ranks were pushing him over in cult. Hail was high rank defector. He cooperated with Asmo earlier, but there was no friendship between them.

I got some interesting conversation with Sith and Lynx. Sith said, that he suspected me, that I was knowing more than them, and I was hiding things from them. I told them, that I knew more, as prize for helping them to link with bio-stone was memory snippet. If they wanted to know some of my info, they should promise me, that we would exchange new or unusual information. They agreed and I told them, how bio-stones were appearing in a cycle. And, what was my hypothesis, that we could see that cycle through history and legends. I also pointed, that, as far as we know, bio-stones didn’t take over the world. Their influence through history seemed to be local, closed in regions. I believed, that Aztecs were bio-stone driven civilization. I also believed, that some monsters from legends could be products of their doings.

I got more different info, but I would like to trade for it. Or, if we could stabilize on level four, I would like to have pact with them. Then I would share my info from memory snippets freely with them.

That was half of discussion. Other half was about some inabilities. I pointed, that they all knew about my anti-stone liquid. Nobody tried to produce it. Even when we were in conflict with Ahriman’s Order. And it was available option for defense. I asked them, in the face, why didn’t they even tried it, even for self-defense. They had no answer. I explained, that we had troubles with taking or even thinking, about options, that could hurt bio-stones. But there seemed to exist differences in stone influence due to our personalities. For me, that was another reason to stick together.

We also teased Lynx for his fireballs. He was always answering, that it was plasma balls.

Coal and Lily wanted to have magic too. They were negotiating with Lynx and Sith, as they were creators of magic techniques. Sith previous price for his knowledge about lightning was changed, as nobody bought it before. Lily really wanted to know, how to create fireballs. Coal was not picky.

I didn’t want to learn another offensive technique. Lynx fireballs were nice, as it was range attack, but I was afraid, that I would lose chance for some defensive technique, as choosing one kind of energy was unequivocal with blocking another kind of energy. I would gladly research, what energy was opposite of plasma. Was it some kind of frost?

There was also info from Dee, that I was closer to level four, than Diana. Perhaps only Vivaldi could get first on that level, before me. Diana, as merged creature, needed more food to get there. I was afraid of level four. I was afraid, that Dee would need a lot more people to eat, maybe body daily. And later levels? I probably would need to create Aztec like empire, to get there. I thought about those options. I thought about buying deceased bodies of Russian soldiers, if bad came to worse. As Russia is closest semi-slave country to Poland.

What is semi-slave country, you ask. It’s country, where there is no slavery, as old slaves in chains were living. It’s country, where you can buy another human being, preferably from lower class, for money. People from West are buying infants or little babies mostly, with original documents prepared, that those became their children. In some countries of south Asia, it’s even cheaper, but children look more different from they foster parents. But I talk about buying grown up living human being. It’s possible in Russia. It’s not often, as people, almost always, pay to torture and kill sold person. Maybe I should mention, what is happening with prisoners, and how they are selling them, if possible. But you should know already, as it was part of Russian war against Ukraine.

POV Sith

We had main meeting again. This time, we were all present. We talked mainly about conflict with Ahriman’s order and problems with feeding on farms. There was again argument between me and Bear, or maybe between magic users and Bear. He was bitter, that we didn’t share our magic with him. I laughed at him again, that he could know all he needed, if he paid half batch of heart mixture long time ago. I called him cheap bastard. He called me immoral snake. I kind of liked it. He had more to say, but even Huntress didn’t support him by much. It was, as he was bitter, because we didn’t lose to Diana. He told us, that we were unjust by hiding things to themselves, that we lost way of peaceful society and were on road of violence. He couldn’t stand by us anymore. He said, that he would transfer himself to Associated Devas. I laughed, that rules of trade would change for him. He proposed three months of old rules. We decided on two months period, if cut for company would be counted to company. He agreed.

I was happy. Bear was the one, that helped me join Unlimited Devas. But quite quickly something changed between us for worse. He was trying to show me in bad light at every possible moment. I felt, that he despised me. He was leaving Unlimited Devas by himself, I was grateful to him.

Then we talked about new people, that wanted to join Associated Devas. It was Asmo, who were approved by us. We were waiting for him to get to level three. There was also Andy, known as Hail now and Mary. We talked about them without Bear. He left our meeting, telling us, that he would try to help us with new Associated Devas. Huntress wanted to take care of Mary, as she said, that she wanted her as assistant at PR and pseudo religion movement. It seemed, that cooperation with Bear wasn’t good lately. Lily said, that she could keep Hail on eye, till we would put him on farm. She said, that it would be easy, as he had lowered [Will resonance] defense. We had topic of lowered defense again. It was mysterious, as they, cultists, as far as we know wasn’t stuffed with mixtures. We suspected, that Diana did it by other means. We didn’t know how, but we could see effects.

We established plan. When Asmo’s bio-stone would be moved to another location, we would ask Mary and Hail, to put their stones on farm. This farm was the best, as we had there security systems and safe place for bio-stones underground. Pigs were enough for them for that time. Coal wanted temporary use Hail, to contact other cultists. Asmo would hear every word from us and do as told. He was bordering fanatic character in his gratitude. Still, we would treat him good, as he was living evidence, that we could do something good. At least I felt it like that. There was also Bear as part of Associated Devas. We couldn’t even imagine, what he would do there.

At the end, we had only one unsolved problem. We agreed, that we needed human bodies, as animal heads were leaving lot of waste. Could we snatch bodies somehow? Maybe we could. There were bodies in morgues, Joe and Jane Does, without family, acknowledged by nobody. I was ready to check that option. Maybe even Asmo could help me.

POV Mirror

Mary contacted me. She was joining Associated Devas. She would stay with parents, but her enchanted stone would be located on farm, where they would take care of feeding. She would visit stone every three days. She would also work as assistant of Huntress.

I talked with her. I felt as we were drifting away. I wanted to told her, what will happen on level three. I couldn’t. Words were silent. I had tears in my eyes. So we talk about nothing important. She was happy, I couldn’t destroy that feeling of happiness, even when I knew, it wouldn’t last long.

I had human blood on my hands. I chose worst human being, I could find in so short time. Still, I was even worse myself since that time. My Fairy, her hunger, my compassion of her pain, led me to crime.

I was asking myself, how Nameless could live with himself. When I talked with him and he was level three. He didn’t have dark circles under eyes, as I had. He wasn’t nervous or shaky at all. I was shaky, I was afraid, that this poor soul would come for me from under the grave.

Was my sister safe with this Associated Devas organization? Should I interfere? Should I wait, till she would be in troubles. I couldn’t sleep that night.

POV Arthur, from Vivaldi’s group, didn’t want to have anything to do with it

I wasn’t able to silence voice in my sleep. It was always hungry. I gave him least I could. I took some pills to drown out this whisper. It helped to extend. I thought long and hard, how to slow its growth. As it was growing day by day, I was sure about it. I found solution.

I put it in deep freezer. I got few free days between its meals. Meat and some of my blood was enough. If not for whispers in my dreams, I could forgot about it. It was more than whispers, as I was changing, my personality was changing. I hoped, I could find solution against change too. There was no pills against that.

I decided to ask others for help, if following week wouldn’t solve anything. You know, sometimes I woke up in the night and cried without reason. I didn’t act like that before.

Yes, I tried disposing of cursed stone. After some time I had the biggest headache in my life. I thought, that veins on my head would explode. It ended, when I took it back.

One of my plans was, to find person, who would linked with it instead of me. But I was afraid, that I end in mental part of hospital. And I had problem with finding proper person for that. Could I ask anybody to risk his or her mental health? Where to find such person? I was solitary one, I had no idea, how to even start searching.

Another plan was to buy liquid nitrogen and use it on stone.
