"My blessinga on this poor child..." Zuri's grandmother's voice rang sweetly through the air of the house. She was downstairs, in front of an altar near the front door, while Zuri watched her from upstairs near her room, listening and frowning at her grandmother's words.
"Cure from this insane state... mind must come back down to earth before it rises like a balloon into the thoughtless realm of oblivion..."
However spiritual she may sound, Zuri thought, she's the most mundane person I know.
"...sinful, always toying with the purity of the divine--manipulating it for the will of others, dreadful..."
She thinks I spend my time in my room casting spells! Zuri laughed to herself. Well, in a way she's right, but she's putting it in awful terms...
"...striving to transcend divine will, to take control in prideful attempts to become holy... Pride! Greed! So pronounced are these sins this maverick must expiate... so slippery is the fish I try to catch with hands of faith. Won't you please help me out with this...?"
Dear Divine Spirit, Zuri half-mocked, half-prayed, I wish the same fate upon the Judge. With that Zuri crept quietly back into her room.
Persephone was waiting right outside the window, perched on a telephone wire--Zuri walked over and opened the window.
Demons walk the earth, so I sense, Persephone communicated. A demon, rather. I can see for now that this one bears a past that intertwines yours on a very fine level.
"If you mean to speak of a magical demon," Zuri answered, "then I need not be so afraid. Had I powers of light, I would cast down upon those who defile the one presence that unites us, but for now we'll have to let the Karma Fairy do its work."
Persephone nodded with understanding. Then she gestured to a spot on Zuri's right, a place consisting of a tree and a ledge on the side of the building. Understanding what she meant, Zuri stepped onto the ledge and then into the tree, where she had made a small fort out of twigs for a sort of hideout. After reaching this, Persephone helped Zuri climb down the tree. Persephone then flew off towards another section of town--something must have been happening wherever she was headed.
