Yashar
, Aven and
Adamah
.

Aven
: One of the three dimensions of
Assiah
. Inhabited by
Deiwos
.

Deiwos
: Those who inhabit the sub-dimension Aven. Humans call them demons. Their function is balancing
Merifri
’s teachings, but from long ago, they’ve began looking for ways to go around the Law at every chance they get. They’re divided in four castes -
Shedim
,
Mazzikin
,
Se’irim
and
Ruhim
.

Gaal
: One of the
Merifri
castes. The Humans that chose to remain on Earth becoming
Merifri
.

Gaalgha
: Name given to Humans that, after several lives on Gaea, reach a certain evolutionary state.
Gaalgha
are those who, instead of choosing to be a
Gaal
, are living their last incarnations before traveling to other points of evolution in the Universe. Usually they incarnate to fulfill special missions, normally of service to all Humanity, and are always accompanied by a Guardian (an
Iaidon
).

Gaea
: Planet Earth. Gaea is a living being in itself and, as such, is made of different organs – Gaea’s dimensions.

Iaida
: One of the
Merifri
castes. The pure blood, born from the trees.

Iaidon
: One of the
Merifri
castes. The ones chosen to protect special Human Beings, the
Gaalgha
. Humans normally call them Guardian Angels.

Lex Regis

Mazzikin
: One of the
Deiwos
castes. Corrupted
Merifri
s that

Iaida
,
Iaidon
,
Gaal
and
Micaloz
.

Micaloz
: One of the
Merifri
castes. The incorporeal ones, born from the accumulated energy that originates from the positive desires and thoughts of Human Beings. Since they’re not recognized and true
Merifri
, they serve as food for
Iaida
and
Iaidon
, as a way to help them increase their power.

Ruhim
: One of the
Deiwos
castes. The incorporeal ones, born from the accumulated energy that originates from the negative desires and thoughts of Human Beings.

Se’irim
: One of the
Deiwos
castes. Corrupted Humans that have lost their right to integrate the cycles of death and rebirth.

Shedim
: One of the
Deiwos
castes. The pure blood. Because
Deiwos
’ trees withered away, they are born from other
Shedim
. The sins of the sinners. The females can only give birth to one child, dying right after the birth.

Yashar
: One of the three dimensions of
Assiah
. Inhabited by
Merifri
.

* Light of the Shadow

“Of course she was afraid of him, who in his right mind wouldn’t be? It was good that she was afraid, since there were more than a few reasons to justify her fear. Sure he’d saved her from a slow, painful death at the hands of the shadowy figure that had awaited her by the restaurant door. But who would save her from him?

It’s past time we put an end to this mess!,
he told himself as he watched the dark figures, even darker than the night itself, that were closing up outside his front door.

He would fulfill his promise and protect her, and that would be the last time he saw her, that he interfered with her life. Should she be hunted again well, that had nothing to do with him anymore. And one less Human Being in the planet could only be a good thing. Her death was nothing compared to the consequences of his continuous meddling and he knew he wouldn’t be the only one having to pay for it. He wouldn’t, couldn’t, drag anyone else into his problems just because he felt somehow strangely attracted to that woman.”

* Blood of the Condemned

“I woke up drowning in pain and instinctively wished I could have stayed asleep for all eternity. I didn’t move... I didn’t dare even think about it. I just clenched my teeth and forced myself to breathe. Even my heart hurt with each new beat.

My eyes found my notebooks, abandoned in the middle of that empty compartment and I easily recalled all that had happened, the night before. I terminally forbade myself from feeling any other kind of pain besides the one tormenting my physical body. That was what I’d expected... what I’d foreseen... and accepted. I told myself that I should feel happy for waking up in that cold room and not back at home; happy for the fact that that was the reality and not some desperate dream of a tortured Soul. I was really there, as incredible as it might sound, in another Continent, beyond the ocean. And, as it that wasn’t enough, and to make things even more incredible, he was there as well. That was his room and the pain that persistently throbbed in my arm had been provoked by his cruel ice-cold hands.”
