"My sister the faery of water invited me to a tea party, with a lot of SUGAR! She said she was sorry for what she did to my library and we talked a lot about...

No! I will not tell you what we talked about!

We. Do. Not. Speak. About. Faery.

Rules from Mother..."

-Bee May, the faery of knowledge

"Some times it's lonely staying here in the library"

Fianna rushed to her husband's side.

"How is he dying? You said that the water would keep him alive!"

She asked distraught.

"Almost every living being is formed by Elemental Spirits and Essence, the body is made by Elemental Spirits and it's the easier part to fix. The Essence is what makes people different, if it's lost..."

Mira explained sadly.

"So, help him! You said he would be fine!"

Fianna felt powerless, again.

"Like I said, his body is fine. The Essence is the problem and no one can touch the Essence."

Said Mira calmly.

"Why!?"

Screamed Fianna.

"Because Death will find and kill anyone that messes with Essence!"

Screamed Mira, for the first time Fianna could see fear in the young girl's face.

"Haaaaa, you people always know how to be a bother to me and my charge uh?"

Said Little Wolf as he got up from the grass, his eyes were shining golden light.

"Little W-!" Screamed Fianna, "- you are not my son, who are you?"

"I am Safe, the Angel's mind that was given to Joy, I'm keeping her son safe now." Said Safe. "Not that you make my job any easier."

If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

"Do you have a way to save this man?"

Asked Mira.

"I do and, I won't do it, Awe lost a Demon's Heart, he would need at least three to... DO IT!... You should not be awa- SAVE MY FATHER!... Your joy is my master's joy... I will save that man but, it won't be pleasant... GOOD DO IT!"

From Little Wolf's body two voices came out, one was the disturbingly neutral voice of Safe, the other had a purr to its words, a purr that would be very familiar to Annabelle.

Safe, controlling Little Wolf's body moved into the water, dragged Sidon outside. He placed him on the grass, then he stabbed the body of the First Hunter with his bare hand.

"What are you gonna do?"

Asked Mira, she was holding Fianna in place. So that the woman would not try to stop what was about to happen.

"Essence surgery is not simple even for an Angel's mind but, Joy discovered that Demonic energy and miracles can work well togheter if used by an expert..."

Said Safe.

"What about Death?"

Asked Mira.

"Ezili Laume Eingana Nerthus Auril is the master of this space, Death has no eyes here."

Said Safe with his emotionless voice.

"The water faery? Even if this is her domain, Death will feel that the Essence is different! You are trapping him here until death if you do what you are about to do!"

Yelled Mira.

"No, I will use the Demonic energy to corrupt, eat and destroy his Essence then, I will use a miracle to heal it slowly and make his human Essence merge with the Demonic energy."

Said Safe.

"That should not work! And even if it works there is no way that Death will not notice!"

Mira was moving towards the two men while screaming, this time it was Fianna that tried to stop her.

"Stop! I trust in Little Wolf, he would not harm his father."

Said Fianna with an autoritative voice.

"Life and Death are busy with other more important things, only Ego could report this fact and every Ego protects his Demon's body and Angel's mind, it wont talk." Safe smiled to the two women, the smile was cold and scary. "And, Joy did this to all of the White Stalkers, It will work. It will be really painful for him. But, once this is over the Demonic energy will flow through his body and strenghten it without eating it. "

Red light started to come out from Sidon's body, the First Hunter groaned then screamed. FIanna started to cry and hugged Mira. The blood red light increased in intensity until a blood red cocoon trapped the men inside. Fianna and Mira stood inside the pool and watched the bloody cocoon for what appeared to be an eternity. Golden cracks started to form on the cocoon, then it exploded in a shower of blood red and golden sparkles.

"I had to destroy the Demon's Heart that I just formed in the time we were here, do not try to bother me or Awe for at least two months. With three Demon's Hearts, both Awe and me can be awake at the same time."

The golden light left Little Wolf's eyes, the crimson part of his iris came back with a vengeance and constricted the golden part into a tiny ring. Little Wolf feet failed him and he dropped unconscious on the waiting arms of Mira that appeared on his side and laid him gently on the grass.

Fianna got out of the pond and checked on Little Wolf but then she remembered that his sleeps were no different from death... He once told her that even breathing was tiring, so when he slept he just laid there, immobile, like a corpse. She could feel his heart beat, that was enough for her.

Fianna then turned her gaze away from her son and towards her husband. She let out a surprised gasp.

Sidon was different from before, the first thing she saw was the three claw marks on his chest, now they were shining of a crimson red light. Then, she noticed that he was bigger, taller.

His face, looked... younger? He looked almost like when he was twenty, maybe twenty five snows old.

On his curly black mane, that she loved so much, there were no more grey strands. Now in their place there were some crimson red stripes.

As Fianna caressed her husband face, his hand shoot up and caught her wrist, then Sidon finally, for the first time since they came inside the clearing that housed the Pond of Life. He finally opened his eyes, his intense brown eyes focused on his wife visage and then turned into kind eyes, filled with love. Fianna noticed that the brown of his eyes now had some crimson reflexes.

"Hi lovely lady."

Sidon kissed his wife, Fianna started to cry from happiness.

"What is going on?"

Asked the First Hunter, as he watched his surroundings.
