Cuca laughed at our innocence to think she was going to teach us the Tupi language, she said that we would have to go after it, looking at that alligator i felt like kicking her foot and running away, it would be worth it if my life hadn't at risk.
The next night Willian was sleeping in the classroom, which was unusual, after the siren went off, i went to his desk and called him carefully:
_Will, Will! - He opens his eyes a little. - Everything is fine?
_ I'm fine, I just need to get some rest. - He closes his eyes again.
I sighed, listened to footsteps and noticed André at the door of the room staring at us.
_Everything is fine?
_I guess so. - I looked at William sleeping and went back to the redhead.
_Either way, i came here to thank you for the days you spent with me, it was good. - He taps me on the shoulder. - I'm going to my classroom, i have my life to take care of, take care of your boyfriend... Ah and my brother is going to go to college tomorrow, he wants to talk to you, not wanting to be suitcase, but he is a little strange.
André smiles and leaves the room, i stood there looking at the door, the week with André had been tough, but apparently it was good for him to spend a week with two strangers.
When got home i came across Mariane in my room looking at my things, smiled at her and ask:
_What are you doing?
_I'm looking for a business that I forgot here.
Smiled, we talked about college, work, and other things, she remembers my grandmother, missed her a lot, i am taken out of my nostalgic moment when my phone rings, I found it strange, it is rare for me to receive calls, i answered and said:
_ Hello?
_ I want to say something serious with you. - I didn't recognize the voice right away.
_Eduardo? - I kicked it.
_Yes, it's me, i need to talk to you and Willian about something very serious, we'll meet tomorrow, it's a holiday so i'll look for a good place to meet, i'll send you the location and time tomorrow.
He hung up on me, his serious voice startled me. I called Willian who was not surprised, said that he had also called him, asked the same question and also had the phone turned off in his face. In the morning while having breakfast, the redhead called me and I answered sleepily, he said several things at once and he explains more or less what happened to me, apparently a powerful god came to talk to him in his dreams about a of us being a "defective" child.
Eduardo and Willian show up at home, I told my uncle about the "college work" and he let the two of them stay, he was going to work, and the girls, so as not to "get in the way", went for a walk, or better have the girls' day. We were eating and talking about the situation, Will Question:
_Do you remember what he looked like?
_Yes, he is tall, full of tattoos and seems to always be in a bad mood. - He rolls up his sleeves and we are surprised by an indigenous tattoo. - He has the indigenous tattoo that my mother told me to do when I turned 18.
_ I think know who he is. - Willian thinks for a while. - But we should talk to Cuca.
Eduardo seemed confused, I looked at the boy with blue eyes who told about our blessing that was received thanks to Saci, I didn't know if Edu knows he is a demigod, but we decided to tell the story anyway. After hearing all that, we were silent, the redhead was thoughtful, my eyes start to burn and tingle, I looked at the sides and closed them tightly, feel someone put his hand on my shoulder and he sways, he asks:
_ Is everything okay Louis? - It's Willian.
_My eyes, they are burning a lot.
Felt tears running down my face, I could feel the air getting heavy, kept my eyes closed. I was aware that if Iopened it, something wrong could happen. When the burning started, I opened my eyelids and looked at Eduardo. fell on the floor, Willian gets up and goes to the redhead, he looks at me and ends up passing out too, "what was happening? I thought. Laid the two of them on the couch more comfortably, I went to look at myself in the mirror, my black eyes turned golden, my tears were the same color, I was scared, but heard a voice in the back of my conscience that told me to read the books tupis, when i took one and opened it on a random page, not only could i understand how could see beyond that page, i understood everything, every word, a headache started attacking me and i heard a voice from beyond:
_This is the help I can give you for now. Do not worry about the other demigods, they are only unconscious with your eyes, but they will be fine soon. When your eyes burn it means your power is spreading in your body, be careful my son.
The voice is a set of various tones of voices together, my father, was he helping me? This is surreal. Euphoric I picked up the rhythm and started reading, everything about the gods was there, I looked at the drawn image of a god, he matched Eduardo's description, he is called Sumé, the god of laws, thanks to my vision the drawing won life and I could see him in skin.
Was reading until it looked like Eduardo had moved and I looked at him, he didn't move anymore, I looked at the book and noticed that they were different, or rather the covers, they had gotten pictures, the one I read had the image of a big butterfly with golden wings, I took another book and this one had two huge golden eyes, the dragon, it was my first thought when I opened the page she started to shuffle, I couldn't read anymore, my help was over.
Eduardo and Willian woke up after a while, it was already dawn when they complained about their headaches, both came to the kitchen where I was doing something to eat, the redhead questioned me:
_What do you think you are doing?
_ Potato puree and chicken cooked in sauce. - I pointed to the pots on the stove.
_We are not talking about that, you had different eyes. - Willian asked.
_I'll explain to you. - I sighed and told about the book and my father's help. - I'm not sure, but maybe you can be Sumé who wants to talk to us. - I finished.
_ He said that a law was inflicted by one of us demigods, obviously it is him. - Confirmed Eduardo. I was in doubt if she knew of his powers, confirmed he does.
_ And why does he think he was one of us? - Willian asked.
_I do not know. - Eduardo shrugged and rubbed his belly. - I just know I'm in the mood to eat, the smell is wonderful.
Facing the god of laws didn't seem to be cool, I was hoping that everything would be peaceful when we met. We had to talk to Cuca, she taught us how to be summoned without having to use children - I honestly felt it was a bad joke for me, but I ignored it - we need coffee powder, a sausage and cheedar cheese, I saw the witch eat it all together and I felt sick, but at least it showed that his invocation was right. She told us about Sumé, a just god, so just that he never had demigod children, as this is against the old laws, when he had one by "accident" everything collapsed, and two horrible wars exploded, but fortunately they lasted in one short period, because the child died in an inexplicable way, and he never had relations with mortals again, hearing this made me realize that Sumé is a little psychopathic, he entered my list of people not to call for Christmas.
We asked Cuca to teach us how to use our powers, but she is refusing to teach, she says:
_If I "turn on" your powers, you can lose control, it has to be calm, patience they will not run from you.
I didn't mention about my eyes or the contact with my father, I didn't trust Cuca completely, it wasn't just me, Eduardo was staring at her as if he saw the ugliest thing in the world, I don't judge.
_But when we hear fights that we will need them? - Willian asked.
_Dear you are protected by Tupã for now, your parents asked you for this protection until they are fifty percent complete.
_Our parents?
_Yes, in fact you received the blessing of the sun, only the blessing of Rudá, great god of love, is missing and so you can train your powers.
I was happy to know that they were concerned about our protections. While training in body wrestling and how to make home remedies, it was time to go home, but first I went to Cuca and told she:
_There are others besides us?
_Of course, they are all over the world.
_Iara spoke to me. - Her posture went rigid. - And with Willian it was a newt, I was wondering if you can find out who their son is? They said that he would help us.
_ I can, come.
I called Willian and Eduardo, the witch told us to stay around the cauldron, he is giant, in it we could see the universe, several stars, planets, meteorites, he shows our desires, our greed, so we had to be careful with what we wanted to see if, on the contrary, everyone would see something very shameful, Cuca sent the three of us to wish to see the woman's and man's son, we were concentrated and an Asian boy appeared in the cauldron, he was packing a backpack, it looked like he wasn't going to travel, but yes run away. The vision closed and Cuca explained that he had received Rudá's blessing, not long ago, he is complete. We had no idea how the son of the goddess of the seas would reach us, that the gods would help him.
On the night of the same day me, Willian and the new university student Eduardo walked to the college, talked about Sumé and Iara, was worried about two powerful gods having an "appointment" in the three of us, I was amazed by Eduardo, he didn't seem scared or nervous, I ended up not asking him a lot, Sumé had been tormenting him for just a week.
At the gate of the tall building we come face to face with André lying at the door with his mouth full of blood, we run up to him, Eduardo comes to his brother and asks:
_Can't you stay a moment without fighting brat?
_I was not fighting. - Says making an intense expression of pain, he puts the left part of the jacket aside and we can see that he could have been stabbed. - Someone attacked me in the back, and hurt me.
_Let's call an ambulance. - I say picking up my cell phone shaking me.
_No. - Willian says.
_How not?
_Look around.
I did what he asked and noticed around us, the college was dark, as if there was no one there, but we could hear people talking inside "what's going on?" I thought. Willian uses the sphagnum "goo" on the wound, and he rips open his shirt to be able to flatten it. Eduardo was sweating cold, he seemed quite nervous, André on the other hand seemed to be quite relieved, the three of us lifted him up, carrying him to my house, when we got there there was no one, the city only had the streetlights on, the houses were turned off there wasn’t a being in the street, I closed the windows and doors, I was scared, very scared, Willian tried to reassure me a little. The redhead was sitting near the sofa where André was lying, we decided to stay in the main hall, because something was obviously going wrong. We were almost asleep, but orange eyes lit up the whole room, when looking at the window the orange look of the dragon is on the window of the house, he observes us, I say:
_What you want? Who are you? - The monster smiles, but soon turns into a man.
_ I am Sumé and I want to comply with the law.
_You are the dragon all this time?
_Dragon? I never left my form, you see in me what you are most afraid of. -Willian had wobbly legs, but even so he still had a strong expression.
_Let André alone, he has nothing to do with it! - Defends Eduardo.
_No, I cannot leave him alone, I thought he was a demigod, but he is not, and that inflicts an old law.
_This is unfair. - Sumé looks at me, his brown eyes shoot me. - He must hardly know his origins.
_No care, laws are laws.
_What horrible law did he inflict after all? - Willian asked. Sumé took a roll of paper.
_He is not a demigod, he is a complete mortal.
_What? - I looked at Eduardo, who was just as confused as I was.
_He is totally mortal, being the son of a god, indispensable.
_ Are you trying to say that a demigod or god having a totally mortal daughter is against the law? - Willian says.
_Yea. - Sumé analyzed all of us. - The child must be eliminated before the age of 2, as he is already 19, it is too late.
I thought that was crazy, but Sumé didn't seem like an empathic god, he understood that following laws and having empathy did not marry. Willian says:
_André is not to blame, you must not kill him.
_No, he doesn't, but she paid for the blame of the mother and the goddess.
_Goddess?
_Our mother is Marina and she is also the goddess Kianumaka-maná. - Explains Eduardo. - A god can have a child with a person of the same sex as he wants, but this is rarely the case.
I raised my eyebrows and Willian With eyes half closed, I didn't think it could happen, but it was explained there that it can. We were in a terrible silence until Sumé said:
_I think I better go killing this teenager.
_Not now! - I screamed without thinking, I had an idea, I would regret it bitterly. - Can we do something in exchange for André's soul?
_ Something in return? Interesting. - Sumé looks at the sides thoughtfully. - I have a job for you.
To save André we would eat up to the land
