The sun rose and Okays was excited to meet the bird and reach the top of the hill..

  Okays: (mockingly) Kalira you sleepy one wake up it's morning.

  Kalira: (yawning) Is it really morning I feel so tired because of what happened yesterday, and also who is she calling sleepy.

  Okays: (ughing) Okay okay let's go we have a lot to do today.

  Kalira: (belly growling sound, embarrassed) I think we should get something to eat.

  Okays: (smiling) Okay that would be good, I'm starting to feel hungry too.

  They continue their way through the trees and find some edible fruits and eat some of them and then they advance and approach the end of the hill and when they reach the top the sunlight is very bright and in front of them is the entrance to a cave or a bird's nest.

  Okays: (wondering) Should we go in Kalira?

  Kalyra: I don't think we have any choice but to go in there.

  Okays: Okay then let's go in.

  Okays and Kalyra entered the cave. The cave was pitch dark and caused a shiver because of the cold air coming from inside. They entered and went a little deeper. The darkness began to clear a little because of the crystal lights. They went a little deeper and found a huge bird's nest in front of them.

  Okays: I think this is where the bird lives.

  Kalira: (nervously) Yes, I have seen the bird enter here more than once.

  Okays: Do you know when the bird returns here?

  Kalira: It always returns at sunset.

  Okays: Okay then let's wait here.

  Time passes and the sun begins to set and they hear the sound of something huge coming towards the cave. The two hid behind rge stones and the huge bird entered. It was golden in color and had red feathers on its head that tended to be the color of dark blood. It headed towards the nest and sat there.

  Okays: (whispers) What do we do now?

  Kalira: (scared, whispers) I don't know, I thought you had a pn.

  Okays: (whispers) You're the guide, think of something.

  Kalira: (thinks) Hmm, well I don't know, I heard my grandfather say once that this bird responds to my pure blood power, that's all I heard

  Okays: (mocking) So are you the pureblood?

  Kalira: This is not the time for jokes, I don't know we can try.

  Okays: What should we do then?

  Kalira: You have to walk towards him calmly and put your hand on his head.

  Okays: (groaning) Why should I do this? You are the one who should walk there.

  Kalira: (angrily) I won't do this even if it is my st day in life.

  Okays: (ughing quietly) I was just kidding with you, okay I will go.

  Okays starts walking towards the huge bird calmly. He was nervous and scared, but the bird was calm and Okays put his hand calmly on the bird's head.

  A voice inside Okays' head

  Are you Mr. Maldis?

  Okays: Did I just hear a voice inside my head.

  A voice inside Okays' head

  Are you Mr. Maldis?

  Okays: (thinking) I think it's the voice of this bird, it speaks through blood, who is Mr. Maldis?

  Voice inside Okays' head

  It's my former master, Mr. Maldis, so you're not him, but you have the same blood that Mr. Maldis Bloodaot had.

  Okays: Wait, this name is the same name I heard when I was in danger yesterday, what is this, who is this?

  Voice inside Okays' head

  It's not a person, it's a power called Bloodaot, it's a dangerous power that drains a person's humanity when used,

  and if you're weak, you'll die after using it once,

  but it seems that you're fine, it seems that you'll be the fifth person to seize this power throughout the ages.

  Okays: Wait, wait, you're saying a lot, so you're saying that what I used yesterday was a dangerous power that drains a person's humanity?

  and that I'm the fifth person to hold this power, what do you mean?

  And also what is this power?

  Voice inside Okays' head

  Calm down a bit, let me tell you that I am a servant of the four previous legends who used the power of Bloodaot, and the st person to possess this power was my previous master Maldis, but he disappeared a long time ago. I don't know if he is alive, and also, did you ask me what this power is?

  Let me tell you an old story::

  Once upon a time, there was a poor orphan girl named Morana, who worked as a maid in the pace of the first king of beasts. She lived in the shadows, invisible among kings and armies, until the prince, the king's son, saw her. The prince was different from his father; kind and gentle, he saw the girl not as a mere maid but as a free spirit worthy of love and respect. As the days passed, a secret retionship developed between them, full of warm moments and unforgettable memories.

  But this love did not st long. The king discovered this illicit retionship in his eyes, and he became furious. For him, this girl was a disgrace to his lineage, and he ordered her to be executed. The prince rushed to Morana to tell her what happened, and asked her to escape before the soldiers reached her. But she refused to escape alone, saying:

  "I will not leave you behind... Either we go together or we die together."

  However, the prince insisted: "You must survive, Morana... I will be your st lifeline, but you must live."

  These were his st words before he forced her to flee alone, his heart torn by grief.

  Moran fled into the forest, while the prince was arrested for treason. In a tragic scene, the prince was executed in full view of everyone, and his head was pced in the middle of the city as an example to anyone who dared to challenge the king.

  As Morana moved between trees and caves, fleeing from the king’s soldiers, she was overwhelmed with grief and despair. Her days and nights became endless, fleeing from shadow to shadow, and whenever she heard the footsteps of the soldiers, her heart trembled with fear. She had no choice but to hide in a dark cave, exhausted and broken.

  At that moment, in the deepest part of the darkness, a strange man appeared before her, his face hidden behind a mysterious mask, his eyes glowing a dark red. His presence was heavy, foreboding, but she had lost all will to resist. The stranger approached her, kneeling beside her, and wiped her tears with his cold fingertips. Then he asked her in a calm and deep voice:

  "Do you want to be saved? Do you want power?"

  Moran could not refuse, she was in dire need of any hope.

  In a hesitant voice, she asked: "Who are you?"

  The stranger answered with a mysterious smile: "My name is Bloodaot, I am one of the oldest beings in this world... Some call me a demon. I have a proposal for you: I will grant you immense power, but in exchange I ask for half your life. What do you think?"

  Moran did not hesitate. All she wanted was to avenge the blood that was unjustly shed, and regain her right to life. She agreed, and then she felt a strange energy seeping through her veins, making her blood boil like burning coals.

  Moran returned to the pace, but she was no longer the servant that everyone knew. She now carried within her the power of Bloodaot, maniputing blood as an invincible weapon. On a night filled with ghosts and blood, she made her way to the king, and confronted him before his soldiers.

  The king said to her mockingly: "I thought you would hide forever, you vile servant."

  But she replied with a cold smile: "I have come to write your end with my own hand."

  With one blow, she ended the life of the first king before the eyes of his terrified soldiers. No one dared to object to her, for her power was beyond their imagination. From that moment on, Morana sat on the throne of beasts, and decred herself the second queen, ruling over all who dared to humiliate her.

  Her name became the Lady of the Bloodaot, and legend has it that whoever defies her rule will find only the shadow of death hovering around them.

  This is the story of how this power came to be.

  Okays: It's a sad and a bit painful story if it's a power that came from the devil and the devil's name was Bloodaot so the voice I heard yesterday was his voice.

  Voice inside Okays head

  Yes it is a ghost but it's very dangerous you have to know how to control it well.

  Okays: But you didn't tell me why it drained my humanity?

  Voice inside Okays head

  Because this ability was for monsters and you're not a monster you're a hybrid but you're more like a human so this ability will be dangerous for you and also this is the first time I've seen this ability choose a hybrid boy like you.

  Okays: Oh thank you for this information. Also I came here because I want you to help you're the only one who can do it.

  The sound of Calera's footsteps as she comes towards them with strange facial expressions.

  Calera: Okace are you okay you've been standing there talking to yourself for a long time are you okay?

  Okays told her about the bird and who it was, but he didn't tell her about its power or anything else except the bird.
