Let’s say there are two areas of study. I’m a sophomore. I am a worthy student in this field. The curator is my friend, but he is insubordinate to me. Because he is a deity, you are a child to him, and he doesn’t have the animal instincts that you do. If you get naked in front of him, at least, he won’t lust after you. He will admire you as much as a swan admires a pond. Deities like humans know how to love and can even fall in love with people. This is similar to how a person loves their cat or dog. The patronage of the curator allowed me to meet the dean and the director of my department. They are influential figures in both the human world and the world of non-humans, and their appreciation for me is not free. I do what they ask, and in return, I receive buns in the form of knowledge, power and material goods from them.
The story of 1. The demonologist. Specialist in sub-settlers.
This is how my life has transformed. The realm of demons has become more captivating than the human world. Demons and incubi have become my companions. And among them, Anastasia Petrovna stands out as the most remarkable individual, deserving of our attention.
Imagine a woman in her late forties, a woman of steel, who, judging by her wardrobe, appears to have been frozen in time in the 1920s. Naturally, she smokes, and her menthol cigarette is slender, as is the pipe she carries. Anastasia Petrovna smokes with grace and delight. This esteemed lady and I have agreed to meet in St. Petersburg.
Anastasia Petrovna is a professional demonologist who specializes in people who are possessed by demons. These are people who have demons living inside them. This might sound surprising, but there are many such people in the world. Some individuals of the human race live their lives without even realizing that they have a demon living inside them.
Sometimes, this is a parasitic relationship where the demon feeds off the vital energy of the host, but sometimes the demon can also help its host in various ways. It often happens that the demon helps the person achieve great success in their career and work, while protecting them from harm. These people and the demons who live inside them are called symbionts, or co-inhabitants. They are not fully human, but they look like ordinary people.
The purpose of our meeting with Anastasia was to share experiences. She invited me to a very expensive restaurant, where it is not clear which fork is meat and which is fish. Even though I was wearing decent clothes and had diamonds on my hands and ears, I still didn’t feel comfortable. If I hadn’t been cold and reserved and looked at people as if they were nothing. They wouldn’t even let me in this pretentious place.
Anastasia was already waiting for me, smoking and drinking coffee from a beautiful mug.
«You’re late.» Sit down. – The phrase was an order that brooked no objections.
I took out my phone and looked at the time.
– No, I’m on time. You’re the one who came earlier. I answer coldly, sitting down at her table.
A waiter approached us, as pretentious as the restaurant in which we were sitting.
– Madam, we don’t smoke here. He turned hysterically to Anastasia Petrovna.
– And I smoke. Anastasia Petrovna said.
– I have to fine you, we don’t.. .– The waiter did not finish.
– I’ll pay the fine. And so (she took out $100 from her purse) This is for you, leave us girls alone. Katya, do you want coffee? I nodded. I’ll have another cognac, please.– She said importantly with a kind of bantering smile, crossing her legs.
The waiter left, taking the money. He returned two minutes later with a cappuccino and a drink in a rich jug.
