I will never stop thinkin that seeing them fight would always be the best sight ever and one of the best days of my life. I even stopped fighting myself just to keep watching them, what almost cost me an eye, but as soon as I was out of any kind of danger from any direction, I just stood there, watching them fighting.

How awesome that was?

They are unbeatable, we know that, but as they kept fighting, they got stronger, their weapons always feeding from the battlefield. Those were minor demons, which, according to Strife, are ridiculously weak. But no matter the level of power of their enemies, they would always feed them energy as they fell.

As my role there was complete, finishing off a group of demons that was trying to attack one group of humans, I helped search for any injured or, what I feared, dead. A large number had some minor wounds, mostly due to the havoc and panic created by the invasion and small explosions around. Unfortunately, the demons got their chance to strike some humans down, and we had a low number of casualties.

Alongside other humans, we carried the bodies we found to a central fire pit and organized them around it, remaining silent for a while in respect, having a group search to find who they were shortly after. The relatives came moments later, spent some time with their dead and then they where cremated in the fire.

Seeing that I couldn't help but to think how sad I would be if it were one of my brothers, and that made me think again how those demons reached that place. Death said no to that, but if the reflecting pool was unprotected, they probably used it. It was the only logical explanation.

The only one I had in my head in that moment.

After thinking about that nonstop for some minutes, a bulky shadow appeared behind me, revealing itself to be Ulthane, gently asking me to follow him. As the other humans didn't need my help in that moment, there was no problem going with him. "What happened?" I curiously asked "Are there more dead bodies?" I feared "something happened to my brothers?!" it came to my mind.

"Calm down, little one" He said "Your brothers are fine. This is something else" He pointed to a big tent, maybe the biggest one around, and moved the cloth closing the entrance away. "There's one problem we need to discuss involving the incident today"

"Im flattered to be invited to this matters. Is it like a kind of council to decide things around" I walked past him to enter the tent "I want to know what happened as well, and..." by the moment I came inside, all eyes fell upon me. And there were a lot of eyes gazing at me.

Seemingly, the tent was used for the purpose of a reunion and not for sleeping, as the people inside were standing in a circle around a big table, none of them sitting, so that was much scarier that it was supposed to be. Simplest as that, the only thing beside the table in the centre inside were the torches lighting up everyone's faces.

Tiny little me then walked to join that circle, that had all the makers that were taking care of the humans, which was a big number, plus the Horsemen. When I joined the circle, Ulthane was by my right side and the Riders were on my left. I couldn't help but notice it had a protection cause, and by the look on everyone's faces I could understand why.

"Let's not waste our time here chatting" one maker said, her voice with a spark of anger "It is something very simple. Do we all know the cause behind this attack today, don't we?" and they all nodded "And what are we going to do with that?"

I could hear Ulthane sighing "This is a refuge for the humans. We can't just cast them out. It is not on our hands to do so"

"It is not our fault if it puts the other humans in danger. One for the entire population. Is not that hard to decide"

With a confused look, I tried "Who do you guys want to cast out? And why?" they looked at me "I mean, to cast someone out of here should be only in extreme cases, like if someone kills. Where will this person go after all? Back to earth to live like an isolated person in a wretched place?"

As if trying to avoid the answer for that, Ulthane kept saying "You all know it wasn't her fault. She doesnt even know it was because of herself."

"it is not as if she had summoned them on purpose" another maker said.

Few minutes had passed and the Riders were still quiet and I was still curious about why they wanted me there to discuss that matter. I helped one if the Riders, yeah, but it is not as if that makes me a leader for the humans – and to be honest, I didn't even want to be.

Some seconds lost in my own curiosity, I came back from my thoughts when an angry maker stated "It doesn't matter! She may not have caused that on purpose, but she is the reason why it happened. And it will keep happening for as long as she stays." She looked to the Horsemen "We know you four are to protect humanity as well, but if we are to avoid these attacks, she needs to go" she then looked at me "We all know who you are, heiress to the demon and you need to leave!"

And then it hit me why I was there. I immediately looked at Death "You told them?!"

"I didn't need to"

"It is not hard to tell, little one. Anyone with good perception can feel his power on you" A quiet maker finally said a word "I agree that this is a refuge for your kind, but by staying here you are risking everyone's lives. Humans died today because of this attack and they were here because of you. You are a target, and they will find you no matter where you go. Angels, demons..."

"And if they were able to find you, so is the Council"

"It will jeopardize everything your kind fought for until now"

A slightly bothering pain started in my chest as I tried not to feel angry about what they were saying "if I knew this was going to happen, I wouldn't have come. The only reason I am here is because I wanted to see my brothers, but if it puts them and all humanity in danger..." I sighed "Fine, I'll leave"

"This is not personal, little one" Ulthane said "if ye need anything, we will help"

"Say for yourself" the angry one said "I'm not helping Lucifer's offspring"

"so don't" I said "I don't need your help" and started to walk away from there. "I will just say goodbye to my brothers..." I tried to hide the sadness in my voice while walking away from there.

I mean, it was so unfair! I didn't mean to cause any trouble, I wouldn't even be there if my brothers were somewhere else. And, damn it, I had just reunited with them again after, I don't know, more than a hundred years? I didtn want anyone to die or to get hurt, I just wanted my family again... I am not asking too much...

And now I had to say goodbye to them for I dont know how long and then basically run and hide for the rest of my life from everyone. Not the life I imagined.

I sighed heavily, hand pressing down my chest that was unnecessarily bothering with that pain that was coming and vanishing, a little bit more painful this time, but I just ignored it as I reached the cabin my brothers were in, standing in front of the door, outside, trying not to cry with the thought I was going to lose them again.

I walked in with a sad look, sighing, and they came to hug me right away, that hug that seemed to say that everything was going to be okay "Hey, little sister." Alex kissed my nose "Why are you so blue?"

I hugged them with all my strength, and the tears rolled down as I explained I had to go. And of course they thought it could be fixed and I just sighed "I dont care if I were to put the others in danger, but you two would be in danger as well..." I cried as a child "I rather stay away and know you two are alive than stay here and watch you two die again!"

"hey, hey, hey" Jason pulled me closer, caressing my hair "You will make it harder for us if you cry like that" he giggled "we always hated seeing our little sister crying helplessly like this" he wiped the tears away "We will be fine, sis" and kissed my forehead "as you said, the Horsemen are protecting us, but..." he stared at me, worried "What about you? You can't be alone. Where would you go? How would you take care of yourself alone if you come to find a horde of these monsters? Where will you live? You... you can't go like that!"

"I dont know..." I sighed, taking a deep breath "Maybe I will stay at the refuge Ulthane made for the humans inside that Makers tree... Or ask someone to take me to where we lived and hide in our house, I dont know..."

"You can hide here, Maya." Alex said "We can build a hideout inside this cabin, no one would find you"

"Yeah. They don't check houses or something like that. You would be safer here than anywhere else"

I smile appeared in the corner of my mouth. I loved the way they always cared and protected me, as the big brothers they are, but the smile soon vanished "The demons would keep coming... Or angels, or worse, even the Council. And if that happened, they would know I'm still here..."

After a while trying to convince them that I couldn't stay there, they finally accepted this fact, and just sighed in sadness "at least... let us prepare something for you to take..." Jason said as Alex picked up a backpack and started to fill it with food they had there.

"Thank you... both of you... for always taking care of me..." I said when Alex handed me the backpack, the tears rolling down again

"We will always take care of you" they hugged me again "that's what family do." They showed the little necklaces in their necks, the same ones as the one I had down in my wrist "Will you be able to visit us...? Just... for us to make sure you are okay..."

"I... dont know. Maybe I can..." I put the backpack in my back, staring at them. "I just found you two... I didn't want to part ways now..." I hugged them both again "I love you so much."

"We love you too, sis, more than anything" they both kissed my head, a long and loving kiss, as if they didn't want to let me go "Never forget that"

"I wont..." sighing, I picked up the last of my items, my sword, putting it in my back.

My body was leaving, but my heart would be always there with them. Near the house, Ulthane was waiting for me, sighing "I'm sorry about this, little one..." He looked at me "Where are ye going?"

"I dont know... If I try and point the way, can someone bring me to my house on earth?"

"I think so, but dont ye think it's better to stay in Haven? The demons wouldn't know how to use the reflecting pool and ye could come for help if need"

I sighed "Yeah, it can be..."

"Come, then. I will take you there" He pointed the way for me to go, staying right behind me.

I could feel, far in the distance, my brothers watching me go.

As well as Death.
