❝That is true. Most of the juicy souls the demons were craving for have already been eaten…❞ The trillions of souls that had escaped are still being hunted but the big namedSINNERS, the ones who caused genocides and wars or used religion for their own gain, were the first to be sought out for the ripeness of their souls. Lucifer knew that theyshouldbe suffering for all eternity but since he wasn’t the king of hell he could care less. Reaching for a glass as a waitress passed by he spoke, ❝If you honestly here for a story how about we get you a drink? One that actually has an effect on you’re kind.❞ it did affect him slightly as well, but he wasn’t going to mention that.
Gulping the drink in one go he placed the glass down on the counter as he stood up. With a wave of a hand to get him to follow he continued, ❝The second floor is exciting for people such as us. There is a rule though, no making deals with humans in this establishment without my permission… the last demon that tried ended up as Maze’s pet before she got bored. Got it, little demon?❞ Was Lucifer going to bother asking for the demon’s name?Probably not,unless he proved to be an amusing guest.
A nod was given as he followed the other; keeping his silence was easier than asking too many questions. That way, he wouldn’t have to deal with the answers. Well, most of them at any-rate, but at the same time, it lead to quite a few problems that more than likely would come back to bite him in the future.
Deal making wasn’t always on his mind nor was making connections with other’s of his kind. All that truly mattered was what he personally gained and rarely he got anything out of deals. Especially, when he knew that it was easier to simply not make them.
Not that it mattered too much. Ky’lar wasn’t about to become a pet. Not when he could avoid it by simply following the rules. So, for now, it was in his best interests to do as instructed, “Got it.”
❝Now then which bedtime story would the little demon want?❞ There was no retaliation over the nickname which was…unusual.Usually, demon’s didn’t like being downgraded to a childish name and treated like one but then again those were the idiot demons who postured and ended up dead before they can blink. No… This demon knew how to play along. It’s perfect since hewouldn’ttolerate any form of disrespect from his previous subjects, ❝Would you like to hear about heaven? There are many misconceptions about it. Or would you like to know how I ended up ruling over the damned realm? Honestly, people believe I’m a trickster but they don’t know it’s a…. observed behavior.❞
There was no retaliation of the name due to the fact that the Demon knew better than to question it. To many, he was still a child —- even more so than human children, but all the same, there was a time to SPEAK, and a time to keep silent. This was one of the few times he chose silence —- if only to keep himself in one piece,
❝ Whatever you would like to tell. ❞Heaven would have been his preferred story, but he was open to anything that would get him out of this slightly UNCOMFORTABLE situation.
