EPISODE 2: I TALK ABOUT THE HUMAN WORLD

Cephas, my direct older brother is my favorite person in this family. Technically, everyone loves him except for for my brothers urbā and al-moot since my favour him over them. He had purple hair, purple eyes that dimly glowed and black skin. He wore a red T-shirt and black jeans. He smiled down at me warmly.

"Ala al-'aqal hadha ahad ayyamek al-jayyideh" He jokingly said jumping down from the roof and retracting his wings. "La a'taqid anna 'a'ilatuna qadirah 'ala al-baqa' bilqurb min ba'dina al-ba'd li'akthar min khams daqa'iq" I responded leaning against the wall, tilting my head up. I turn head to him slightly smiling "You should've come y'know. At least mom and dad would be too busy showering you with praises to compare me", "Or they'd immediately start comparing you to me"

I laugh a little to try and sound upbeat but I can't help but droop my head. Clearly Cephas noticed it because he immediately said, "Wanna go for a fly?"

The main colours you can find in sita achra are red and black. Even crops and grass grown is black. The difference in colour of clothes is all thanks to magic. Spell casters and necromancers aren't supposed to have wings but my parents spawns are an exception. We aren't just part spell caster and necromancer. My mother has a diverse family tree of different species of demons and monsters. Pretty sure there's a dragon somewhere there.

Me and Cephas fly for a while and land on top of a crescent shaped statue. They're a lot of them in sita achra. Each about 23 meters tall and about 12 meters wide. I put my brown, leather bag on my lap and sighed. "How do you think till they to notice?" I asked, turning to Cephas. "Dunno" He said shrugging "Probably when the tension dies down. You know they still to some extent care about you, being the youngest and all".

 The wind blows through hair, covering my eyes a little. "Hey, Cephas?" "Yeah?" "What do you think the human world is like?" Cuervo sighs as if frustrated. This isn't the first time I've talked about the human world. Ever since I turned 10 and heard about the human world it became what you call an “*Unhealthy*” addiction. "Gurda, quit it. This was exactly what started a fight at the dinner table last week al'arbiea'. You can't keep up this obsession!" He grabs my shoulders and looks me in the eyes. "Do you understand?". I stare at him, not really sure what to think. This isn't the first time he's discouraged me to stop fussing about the human world. I gently brush his hand away and look up at the blood red sky. Then I look down to the ground. *We're pretty high up* I thought. But if I fell I wouldn't be hurt at all. This isn't the kind of thing that could hurt demons of my family's rank. but even as powerful as we are I've been told that they're powerful human beings that could hurt or kill us. I've been told of the one they call Blue Flame. He's in the category of what they call “*Heroes*”. I immediately change the subject. "Hey look! Fire breath candy" I immediately start picking small red glowing round shaped fruits from twigs growing in the cracks of the crescent statue. I pick up to a handful and offer to Cephas "Want some?" Cephas stares at me, as if trying to figure something out before nodding with a smile on his face
