Crumbs lead to the sweet house

when kaius met the group of girls james thought they were women who only cared about what they would wear to school or which of the 3 would be the first to get laid but now maybe they were more than that with the new theory he had about Lilia maybe she had suffered more than he expected in the story the causes that gave rise to the hatred of the deities were never told. For that mistake of reviving the dead they always believed that it was because of the fact of continuing a life that had already been finished but black told him that it was not only that because if it was the case necromancers would not have the protection of both gods there had to be something else but until they knew it he would be in charge of "helping them" until he found out what spell they used on james and get him out of it.

He didn't really care what happened to those girls since as far as he knew all 3 were to blame for what happened to his friend but he knew that James now cared a lot he was going to play his game as far as he could and say enough was enough. 

- kaius, are you okay? it's comfortable," asked james looking at him from the single armchair in the living room. 

He came out of his thoughts with his best friend's question and realized that he was still in the living room next to the dining room where the women were still researching alone in the witch's book, maybe he thought that maybe it was time for him to get the story out, but it was going to be slow and steady.

- Are you still looking in that grimoire- asked the boy calling the attention of the girls and the witch in an annoyed way replied 

- Yes, of course someone like you wouldn't understand the complexity of a grimoire," said the witch of the group in a haughty way. 

Kaius was sure of one thing a grimoire is necessary for a warlock because of its legacies and complex spells but he also knew that every warlock had his own thoughts about the energies they used. He knew the truth about the energy the girl used was an overexploited soul of a true core warlock but why say it now if he can take revenge later by taking her magic away from her. 

- Well, to me you are only reading part of the story, you know that your ancestors didn't know everything, right? - asked the boy sowing doubt in the group. 

- What are you talking about, you don't know anything about what is happening because of you the vampire escaped," said Lilian again blaming the boy for that.

Kaius felt at that moment a pinch coming from the magic that black implanted in James's mind the enchantment was fighting with the protection magic but Kaius knew that James wouldn't be around all the time so he got up from where he was standing. 

- You know I saved your ass and now I'm regretting doing it. You know James couldn't have survived if I fought him and you know why, because I drink human blood and he doesn't so if you don't shut up remember the promise I made maybe I'll keep it.

he could see how the girl was on the verge of crying he saw out of the corner of his eye how james was going to comfort her maybe it is too soon because of what he told her black the spell could not erase what the previous one left but it would stop advancing.

james turned to the boy with a disapproving look on his face as black placed a second spell on his mind as something was causing the previous one to advance but he would not allow that to happen. 

- What is wrong with you Kaius, she is very shocked by what happened, you can't tell her those things," said James trying to comfort the girl.

Something felt strange, it was the first time he felt that the enchantment was advancing, he seemed desperate to control the part of his brain that he already has, I can't do anything but watch how this works. 

- Well, this deluded girl thinks that she can only come to read that book and insult me when I am not the one who is isolated in only one information when you can read other information bases and get more," said Kaius in a disinterested way. 

- what are you talking about," said the little witch in an insulting manner. 

- Find out for yourself, you're the witch, aren't you, or maybe you can't even do that, maybe you should look for something more local.

Kaius got up from the couch and was gone in a second leaving everyone with the unknown, he just hoped that the local clue would give the girl a clue as to what he needed since that legend originated in Crimson Grove but now he had to settle a score with a certain vampire who stabbed him. 

He went out the front door and headed for his family's old house, he thought that while he was living with James he could fix it up in parts so they wouldn't suspect anything, but now he had to find a suitable place to live alone or torture anyone who bothered him talking about torture. 

- black I need you to do a basic tracking spell you can do it with some of that vampire can't you?

- Yes of course I just need you to give me what you want me to use for tracking.

kaius took out the diamond dagger that obviously had the vampire's fingerprints on it they went into the old house to be able to cast the spell without discomfort before entering the house he cast the incantation to access the liminal space he occupied to be more discreet as he entered he remembered seeing a seal on the floor he would use it to maximize the power of the incantation black helped him with the directions he approached the middle of the circle black decided to try it with blood maybe that way the power of the spell wouldn't knock the caster unconscious they started with the same spell already cast to find Ettore but this time he was looking for someone he had already seen and had torn off a piece of it when he was done he was looking for someone he had already seen and had torn off a piece of it. they started with the same spell already cast to find Ettore but this time he was looking for someone he had already seen and had taken a piece out of him when he finished the spell the knife turned ghost blue and flew out of the place kaius got up and chased him he wanted to test how fast a demon could run so he pushed himself to run but he didn't realize the speed was faster than a formula one car 

when he noticed he had run until he reached the thick forest he stopped when the knife stopped in a nearby cave when he entered he found a trail of blood when he followed it he found a vampire feeding on an animal when he came he realized he was going against the promise he made to himself not to mess with the natural order so he was about to torture the vampire he would try something else he was not a hero and in fact he hated that attitude so he opted for blackmail. 

- Wow, doesn't that look delicious, would you like some normal food?

kaius said pulling out a bag of blood the vampire tried to attack him and take the bag but kaius acted faster and hit him knocking him out he carried him and took him to his house covering him with a daytime spell so he wouldn't get burned he didn't do it because of his big heart but because he needed clues of what had been happening so they would attack them and as black told him it's better to lure with honey than with gall 

when he arrived he reopened the liminal space and walked towards the room that looked like an infirmary which he didn't understand the place was well equipped to live there as if someone had already been there. 

- the liminal spaces were opened by humans years ago and because of that these spaces recreate the surroundings of where they were created and even other parts if you open it with magic nothing happens but if you do it with energy you break the composition of the world thus affecting the reality and creating the so called faults in reality. 

explained black materializing however something was different he was no longer a shadow completely the body mostly was but on his face he seemed to have a mask and a part of it opened revealing a green eye and half of a golden lock. 

- black que Paso you are fine your face is fine

- I'm fine just my body will develop as your magic increases and your knowledge becomes more extensive now what are you going to do with the little vampire?

- You already know that you literally live in my mind.

- Yes, but I still don't understand. You want him to stay with you because you want him to tell me why he wanted to stay with you.

- I want him to tell me why he wanted to attack that woman and if it has anything to do with the legend. 

With that explanation, Black was satisfied and now it was Kaius' turn to ask a question.

- Black, do you think I can create a daytime spell so that he can walk in the sun as you don't want to materialize I found my general helper. 

- Your blood could do it, you just have to give him a little bit of it. 

It took a few minutes for the vampire to wake up and when he did, he shuddered because he didn't know where he was.

- You are in my house be welcome 

- Why did you bring me here?" he said pulling out his fangs to defend himself if he needed to.

- Because I wanted to talk about the night you stabbed me with this," said Kaius taking out the diamond dagger. 

- I wanted to give you this," said Kaius bringing his hand closer. 

The vampire turned away thinking that he would hit him but instead Kaius handed him a bag of blood to drink. 

- if i wanted to kill you you wouldn't have woken up now come on i have questions for you. 

The vampire took the bag and drank its contents. 

Some time later the vampire told him that he was just a henchman who had been ordered to kidnap the puppet. 

but there kaius was confused if that person knew that Lilian was a puppet how did he know it is very difficult to see it even he took time to see her soul. 

- do you know the name of the person who sent you?

- His name was Lucas Trendin. 

- It's a fake name Lucas Trendin is an author who lived in the 18th century or he's like us or it's a fake name well since you're here I have a proposition for you how about working for me as my personal assistant you'll have food and a roof over your head what do you say unless you're still upset about your partner?

The vampire shook his head.

-We were only one time partners, I never really knew him, it's okay, I accept. 

- What's your name?

- My name is Jason Michelle, a pleasure young master.
