ST. Vlas's POV:
My mistress, Yukariko calls me St. Vlas. An obvious representing honor of her occupation.
I watch her while she prays a lot of the time. When us Childs aren't being summoned, we lay dormant within our mistresses' elements and we are aloud to watch our mistresses.
I am truly grateful to whatever power in this galaxy gave us permission to do such a thing. If I was forbidden from looking at mistress Yukariko I may have gone mad.
I know that the ones that are called Duran, Julia, Kagutsuchi, Diana, and Yatagarasu in this life would have.
When I say the ones who are called by these names, I mean that these names we have now are just what our mistresses call us. We had other names in our previous dimensions. Don't even try to pronounce our names, not unless you want to bite your tongues off from how twisted it would make your speech.
Ah,……..dear Yukariko, she's praying that God forgive her for the….as she puts them…….., "sinful thoughts" about that art teacher. The one with the glasses. I believe his name is Ishigami. I don't like him. It may just be because I'm jealous, but there's something about that man that makes my Child instincts go on the defensive.
The only reason why I haven't used my illusions to lure him into my vice like wings and crush him, is because Yukariko may never forgive me.
While I dislike the man, I feel sorry for sweet Yukariko because she is so tormented by her human desires for him.
Lust. Ah, one of the seven deadly sins. Humans that are in the same or similar religions as my mistress, as I understand it have actually come up with these sins to categorize the crimes that their fellow humans commit.
Well….at least the crimes that the religion would consider crimes.
Every human being and Child, as I imagine, are all guilty of a certain sin.
All of us Childs are certainly guilty of each sin. Kagutsuchi is guilty of pride. Duran is guilty of both wrath and lust, as is Julia. Yatagarasu's sin is wrath. My sins are pride and envy.
I am a very proud Child, though I do not show it as much as Kagutsuchi does.
I notice that Yukariko is beginning to cry about something. I want to come out and comfort her but she hasn't summoned me yet and besides, she just sees me as a weapon, and she even fears me as a monster sometimes.
She's praying through her tears now. Praying for that blasphemous girl, Alyssa Searrs soul. Why? Alyssa Searrs wasn't even a real Hime! She defied Yukariko and the rest of the Himes. She should have been annihilated by the fire Hime, Mai when she said that she had the chance at that factory where she, the ice Hime Natsuki and the Hime who governs Miroku faced the girl and her pathetic, unfeeling doll.
Miyu. Disgusting. She was an abomination! We Childs and Orphans couldn't be called normal, no, but at least we are natural. We exist through nature. The Hime Star's nature. Miyu was created by defiant humans who only think about making God in their image.
Everything that Yukariko had fought for might as well have been made a cruel mockery as a result of such disgusting resistance.
Miyu wasn't even an Orphan. Even if Orphans and Childs are related, it would be an insult to even call the doll a Orphan.
Hmm….it's that mortal artist Ishigami. Damn him. There's something about him that practically screams, 'untrustworthy.'
As I watch Yukariko getting up and embracing him, I seethed deep down, but I did remind myself that I care for him a little. All of us Childs care for our mistresses' 'precious ones' on some level.
After all, we are compatible with our mistresses for a reason. Although, I only care about Ishigami somewhat. The feelings I have aren't even that comparable with Kiyohime's feelings for his mistress and his mistress's precious one.
Ishigami however, is a sickening character. Well, either way, it didn't matter. Us Childs would be with our mistresses when our mistresses died, not him.
The reason why Childs from previous Hime generations don't come back is because after their mistresses die, the Childs are supposed to watch over their mistresses in the afterlife. At least, that's the theory I've heard many Orphans come up with in my dimension.
If that's the case, then I'm even more happy to be with Yukariko. I couldn't imagine being sent somewhere without being able to watch over her. She truly is a wonderful person. Not the most strong-willed, no, but a lovely hearted woman. Even though I don't like the human male that is infatuated with her, I really don't know why she tortures herself like this. Over every human thought that crosses her mind. Being sinful isn't wrong. It's normal. It's human.
Then again, if we Childs can feel sins, then does that make us human too? Hmmm…..it may not be wise to say that. While I'm passive of such an idea, some of the other Childs may see it as an insult to be compared with humans.
Kagutsuchi would perhaps threaten you with his flames. Duran and Kiyohime would both just flat out rip your throat out if you said that to them. Julia would smirk about it. Well, we can be hateful or smug as we want, but we were lucky this time to be with our mistresses.
And perhaps my hate for Alyssa Searrs and Miyu is normal. Perhaps it makes me human too.
I suppose my hate for Alyssa Searrs and Miyu can be subsided…….for now, if it is for Yukariko. Yukariko is under my protection always.
Author's Note:
Okay, St. Vlas's pov done with. Oh, and thank you to the reviewers that sent me the information on Shiho's Child, Yukariko's Child and Akane's Child.
And…..unsurprisingly I got Kagutsuchi's name wrong. Bah, I was never good with names anyway.
In any case, the next POV will be Diana, then it will be Kiyohime.
