Sleep Baby.

The discovery that you are a demigod is a bit strange, you have powers and you are also the son of a powerful deity, i felt great about it. Willian was a little "bothered" after receiving Jaci's blessing, unlike me who thought he had telekinesis, he was looking to ask his father to take that responsibility off him, obviously that is impossible.

It had been a month since the fight with Saci, me and Willian were closer, after that we started talking more often. In the school library we looked for books on building architecture, we would have to design one, it’s a weekend job, i hated these things, even if the job is individual, i asked Willian to come home with me and do it there, no we were going to help each other, so it's working. Will was quiet just scribbling his architectural plan, i decided to make a simple building with a few minimum points of difference, Willian created a nonstandard building.

Despite studying engineering, i didn't imagine myself being an engineer, why? Just forebodings.

Willian continues to scribble, observing, a question came a my mind to me and i ask:

_Will, do you think that someone or something can kill us?

_We are not immortal, believe that we will die quickly, since we do not even know what we have mastered right.

_Yes, you are right.

_Do not take these powers to your egocentric side Louis.

_I am not egocentric. - Lightning dances in the sky, it would rain and it would be a heavy rain.

_ I should go. - Will changed the subject.

_Don't stay, i'll call my uncle.

Luiza and Yasmin were at my cousin Mariane's house, they even invited me to go, but i didn't want to, i didn't do well at other people's houses, my uncle is working late, it seems that the rain only trapped more him there.

The rain started to fall, the drops were strong, the sound made when hit the roof is like those of small stones, was a little afraid, because it is dark and the only light there are the Tupã rays illuminating the sky and thunder makes loud noises. After we finished our schoolwork, we were staring at the ceiling of my room, he never said anything about the wallpapers or the ceiling full of marine animals, i think he may have liked it or didn't want to embarrass me, i got up a little and suggested:

_How about we go get something to eat?

_I'm not hungry. - I knew he was refusing out of politeness.

_Oh but you will, i hate to eat alone.

Willian laughed loudly and agreed, i had never heard him laugh so willingly, i smiled. The night was extremely good, although we couldn't turn on the television, much less the electric stove, i had never had so much fun, we had big glasses of cold chocolate and sandwiches, we talked about everything. When the rain stopped and uncle Jefferson had come home, i made him some sandwiches and left in his room, my uncle ate and then went to sleep. There was no way Willian come home in that storm, i asked uncle Jeff who was a little sleepy if Will could sleep there, he agreed and fell back asleep, points for me.

I brushed my teeth and lay on the mattress, Willian was restless in my bed, he moved to one side and the other, i asked:

_Is everything okay Will?

_I am fine. I just can't sleep.

_What is bothering you to not be able to sleep?

_I'm thinking about our powers and our parents, someone should teach us how to tame them.

_And who could?

_ I don't know Louis, maybe we need to look for more.

Everything was silent for a moment, i got up so i could say something to Willian, but i realized that he was sleeping. I am awakened by heavy steps, not only me, i saw a huge shadow under the door i went to it and opened it slowly, when i saw it was Yasmin wearing a huge jacket on her body, i felt my muscles relax to the point that i felt like a frog, she laughed at my face and Willian, she shouts:

_You and your boyfriend are two fearful.

She showed her tongue and ran, i closed the door and exchanged looks with will we started laughing, then his smile falters and he looks at my small window that is in the left corner of my room, I say:

_It's all right?

_ Will we be able to improve these powers? I know it has nothing to do with what happened now, but ... I don't know.

_You can change the subject quite quickly, can't you? - He smiled. - Will let's find someone to help us. Don't dwell on it, let's go to sleep, tomorrow morning we have to take care of the redhead.

In the library we managed to look for books on the Tupi culture, but when i realized Willian was reading Monteiro Lobato, he showed me a photo of the witch of the woods, i commented:

_When a child i tried to let his hair grow, but the pre-school children called me to Cuca.

_ Oh, you long hair should be scary.

I pushed Willian aside, he laughed, i took his message, Cuca could be our chance at that moment, she's an extremely strong witch, so we should try.

I had to ask Yasmin to do a little job for me, to be naughty for that whole day, Cuca would notice and go after her, she has this taste for uneducated children, when i asked Yasmin looked at me as if i had said a bad word - One of the worst. - Obviously she immediately refused saying that she did not want to become barbecue for the alligator, but my power of persuasion is magical, two minutes later she accepted, i promised her an allowance of ten reais a month, she was going to receive it for five months, to bribe a child is extremely easy.

On Monday morning, Yasmin behaved like the bad thing himself, dropped everything, showed his tongue to her aunt - Luiza's sister. - She even yelled at me that she was quiet.

When i went to college already at night, i told Willian that he was shocked, Yasmin always behaves well, she is a sweet kid, of course we knew she was behaving that way for Cuca to give her a place of honor in the dinner of the night. I counted the minutes to get home, i felt strangely anxious, i wanted to know my skills, but i was worried about the possibility that we wouldn't be able to catch Yasmin if the witch fought with us, she had powers beside her, already me and Willian heads to be mashed.

At home i asked my uncle if Willian could sleep at home again, this time he brought his clothes, my uncle smiled and agreed. Willian can be better presented to my uncles and cousins, Mariane went on vacation and i was very happy, when children were very close friends, in time we stopped seeing each other. We ate in silence, until Aunt Luiza asks:

_How long have you and Louis known each other?

_Has recently, being specific on the first day of college. We got into a little trouble.

_This is very interesting. - Mariane says and makes a strange face.

_ Yes, it was interesting. - I finish the matter.

I was feeling an atmosphere there, Marianne and my aunt Luiza with a little smile on my face, and my uncle a little embarrassed.

I fixed my mattress and lay down, now i just had to wait, the night was going to be long. I dreamed of a beautiful spear with red feathers, i tried to catch it, but i end up waking up, i hear heavy footsteps, i looked at Will and he also woke up. We went down the stairs, Yasmin and my uncles' room was downstairs, my room and some other rooms were on the top. Walking slowly we arrived in front of Yasmin's door, we could hear someone singing. "Sleep baby, that Cuca comes to fetch, Dad went to the farm and Mom went to work." This song still got on my nerves, it was Cuca singing, i opened the door and saw that in fact there was a man with white hair down to the floor, i was already prepared for a blond-haired alligator as i always saw in childhood, he takes it my cousin who is still sleeping and says:

_ She is a good child. You should have just asked me to come.

Everything starts to shake, i feel like the world has pulled me and everything is in low gravity as in the bottom of the Arctic seas, my body weighed tons and i felt cold water in my body, i closed my eyes with pain, when i opened everything it was fast, my head was aching, we were traveling next to Cuca, she took us, i hear someone shouting at me, it was Yasmin, i close my eyes and realized how good it was to be in the dark.

A strong glow hit my face, i opened my eyes and realized that i was in a house, it is made of clay, it is extremely beautiful, and it had several statues, i recognized Jaci in one of them, i got up and walked out of the house, a man in heavy clothes came to me.

_Porãcy! - He gave me a hug. - My daughter, i worried about you.

_Dad, i married him. - I said it, but it didn't look like i was talking. - Now we have your protection, and i will have a son from him.

_Tupã will punish us for that, dear.

_We are protecting ourselves from Monãi. If he doesn't protect us, the demon will go!

_I'll pray for you. - The man had tears in his eyes. He gave the woman a butterfly with golden wings. - Remember Porãcy, the meaning of the name is that which curses the person. I give you this curse my daughter.

I closed my eyes and when i opened there he was, the great white dragon, he was always lying around huge stones, as if he had already been inside them, which was a curious thing. He comes close to me and pronounces:

_You Louis, do not yet know the whole truth.

_What truth? - This time it was me, I felt relieved.

_The one you carry in your blood. - I noticed that he wasn't speaking that strange language. - your father, your legacy, your time ... He is running out and i will soon rise.

_What are you after all?

_I am the one that Anhangá and Tupã gave birth to first and the one that will die last. I’m Luther.

I woke up to a giant golden-winged butterfly with a huge dragon head watching over me. I realized that was lying on a straw bed, the butterfly laughs and says:

_You demigods are funny. - I didn't like her tone.

_Who are you?

_Already forgot who i am? - It couldn't be Cuca i had seen her as an old hippie man. - People give me many shapes, like a butterfly, an alligator, a dragon, but the truth is that i have no definite shape.

_So you are what we want you to be?

_Yeah! . Your friend sees me as a child and your child sees me as a dog.

_Yasmin loves dogs.

I got up slowly, looked to the side and Willian was on the other side of the room, he was sleeping, maybe he was very tired, Cuca was making a strange soup, i really wasn't in the mood to eat that.

When i left the witch's cave, Yasmin played with a small man, she would climb on his back and they would jump through the trees, it's Cuca's son, she told me. After a while, i ate the soup and it was really good, it brought energy to our body, Yasmin slept and the boy took care of her, Willian woke up feeling unwell, after he recovered taking the witch's soup, Cuca took us to place a little distant from the cave, a stream, the water is black because of the night. We sat on the edge of it, the witch asks:

_Why are you looking for me?

_We want to improve our powers or get to know them better. - Explains Will.

_You don't even know who your parents are. I know, but I won't say. - She laughs like a child.

_And why can't you say who they are?

_ Complicated, changing the subject, i know your powers and i can help you with them. You are powerful like your father. I was not surprised that Saci ran after them and lost so easily.

_Do you know about Saci? - Pronounce.

_ Everyone knows and everyone is afraid of you Louis. - I felt a little flattered. - You scared Saci without your powers, you just used your head and that's enough to be afraid of you.

_They shouldn't be afraid, i just defended me and Willian do Saci, he wasn't just going to steal our powers, he was going to kill us.

_I know, but anyway everyone wants their powers, i would also love to have them. - The witch laughs. - In addition to being powerful, the power you carry is spreading quickly in you.

_We feel nothing. - Willian says - Louis only sees better at night and i don't feel anything. Even after Jaci's blessing.

_Exactly, you should have received the blessing at the age of 18, not 22. That is why the power to spread quickly in your bodies is already advanced in age. But that does not mean that they are powerful.

Cuca then makes a strange expression, in fact every expression she makes is strange. We heard a noise, but we noticed that it was distant, Cuca smiles. Willian ask:

_What's it?

_Are you ready to receive the blessing of the sun god?
