Unknown Magic (3)

The next day again, a pounding on our door happened causing the children to up and cry about what is going on to crying baby wondering what is going on. I throw off the covers letting the cool air wrap around me as no fall air was beginning to hang in the air. The bed shifted and a groan sounded coming from Wolf. His voice was muffled yet I could still understand him.

“They obviously want you, so I will attend to the children and if you need me…you know where to fund me” and his feet shuffled against the floor with a moment later the door closing. I turned back to where I sat and let my feet feel through carpet.

Pounding again, and I knew I did not have the luxury to slowly wake up. I got my things on and headed down the slightly creaked staircase, opening the door as the children went quiet, letting me know Wolf was there with them calming them.

Before stood the same warrior who came and contacted me the other day. I a huffed breath and hand on the hip, “Does me not warning you about my life not process you in any form?” I snapped.

He looked taken aback but he knew he could not be afraid, he swallowed and almost cowered under my power. “Ma’am…I am sorry, if it wasn’t urgent I would not bother you, but some humans have discovered a body in the famous cathedral of Florence. We must take immediate action now.” He took a step back and waited on me.

I bit my lip and sighed, I turned back to where my husband now was coming down the stairs and make eye contact with him. He was not holding Elektra. But something in his eyes I could not decipher what was going on. A cool breeze of the outside swept in causing goose bumps to cover my skin. I shivered on a little bit even though I wore a jacket and was fully clothed.

Then it occurred to me and I turned back to the warrior, “Wait you said in Florence?”

He nods, obviously wanting to get on the road. To that I only shook my head.

“No I am sorry but I am not leaving to a different country, we already had enough encounters of traveling. Go find someone else.” I spoke and now I began closing the door only to have familiar voice speak.

“Asema you need to come, I think these murders are for you” Brock spoke coming out through the trees as he if knew I needed convincing to come and inspect this body.

I huffed a sigh and Wolf spoke. “My parents will take them of course… beside” he shrugs his shoulders as if it is not big dig, “it may be a short trip who know.” Then peered over my shoulder to look towards Brock or only nodded his head.

“Just go there and see how things are, you will be back before dinner time or lunch…depending on how long it takes for you to see the scene.”

I huff again, and soon begin to wonder why Brock now involved…it couldn’t just be because I needed convincing surely. But with that thought as, we managed to get ready and left the kids of Accailia and Atreyu.

Now we stand at the portable, where now on the other side of the portal is warm type of buildings. With black and white patterns on the out structure. We walked through and I was almost panting to the heat as I am not used to it considering I live by a northern sea with winter making it look like winter wonderland. I take a few moments to take in the air and begin to follow Brock and the warrior up the steps. I noticed humans are not taking in our presence and I remember how Madam told or someone that we are blind to the humans as our world needs to keep secret, always just in case.

“So,” I start before we entered the building, “How did humans find this body, even though they cannot see us?” I speak and quickly avoid contact with a oblivious tourists taking photos.

Brock replies, “the caretakers who open the cathedral, saw the body, and fainted… only to be woken up from someone else… immortal possibly as they found out about it. Then disappeared the body for only our eyes…”

We entered into the building and coolness reeked from the stones, causing a nice feeling against my skin.

“No offence,” Wolf replied, “But that story has questions itself…”

Brock nodded and kept forward, “Yes, but right now we need to figure out why this body was killed and why for some reason it relates to the other killings…figuring out how it was found is for later.”

I wanted to protested his reasoning, but was stopping as I was now facing a beautiful structure that could almost reach heaven giving a awe type of that there something out there. Even yes we did have gods and goddess but this human structure was amazing. That is till I set my eyes on a corpse hung up in the of the air.

The corpse hung straight up, bloodied, and arms out with palms up as if imitating the figure of the Christian figure looking holy. The body was up by some invisible thing, almost to make it look holy, seem like a god. And like the other bodies, there was something shimmering on the victim, like the other. This could mean that yes this victim does relate to the others and he needed to find out why.

“Oh my” I almost gasp, “This is something else…”
