CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE

Not even twenty minutes later, Barthamalunda was back. He walked through the doors. Thank God he didn’t just appear in front of us. The place had started to get busy.

He sat down, looked at his food, and grinned. “Ah. Coffee,” he said, grabbing the cup and taking a sip. He frowned. “It’s cold.”

“Sorry.” I shrugged. “You were gone for almost twenty minutes.”

“All good,” he said with a wave of his hand. Suddenly, the cup had steam coming out of the coffee lid’s opening.

“How the fuck?” I said, but then lifted my hand. “Nevermind,” I finished with a sigh.

“What did you find out?” I asked him instead as he took a second sip.

“Much better,” he said, smacking his human lips in appreciation. “Your parents are as normal as any other human. I don’t even detect any magical signature from them.” He frowned. “Which makes no sense. How can you be a De—,” he started to say, but I hushed him.

“Shhh. Not in here.” I looked around. “It’s getting busy in here. Eat up, and we can go elsewhere.”

He nodded, opened the wrapper to his food, and within seconds had devoured it, and like Lilith, he looked around as if there would be more. I sighed and did the same for him as I had done with Lilith. I got him another breakfast sandwich. Once that was one devoured, we headed outside. Once outside, we moved away from the building some.

“You were saying?”

The imp in human disguise nodded and reiterated, “I don’t understand how you could be a Demon Mage.”

I interrupted him. “So Demon Mage is a hereditary thing?”

“No.” Bart frowned. “But for someone with your power, yes.”

“Think of it this way,” Lilith chimed in. “You can become a Demon Mage. But, when two Demon Mages marry and have a child, that child, when they grow up, can become a Demon Mage, a very powerful one, if they are given the gift.”

I frowned at that. “So, my getting or becoming a Demon Mage was a gift? From who?”

She lifted an eyebrow. “Who do you think?”

I opened my mouth to answer her, but nothing came out. I closed my mouth. Wait. Was she saying that God gave this gift? However, she had said that some Demon Mages weren’t exactly the good guys. Bart even said that as a Demon Mage, I can do whatever I wanted. I don’t even need to kill monsters. Though, I would not level up in my Teardrops. I’d end up staying at the Tear of Awakening level, even though it seems I can access the spells from the next level.

Suddenly my thoughts were interrupted as a body slammed into me, causing me to slam into one of the parked cars that was next to the curb. Then I heard the gunshots.

Stay down!” I heard Lilith shout at me. She was the one who had slammed into me.

She got up quickly, but then threw herself back down again, as another couple of gunshots rang out.

“Shit,” she said. “Gunshots.” She had a puzzled look on her face, but then it cleared.
