Chapter 15

“…Can’t believe you are even considering this!” a high-pitched whining greets my ears, as I regain consciousness. I keep my eyes firmly shut, feigning sleep, as I try to process what’s happening around me. I’m in the demon realm and my circle fell. Fuck. Why am I not dead already?

“We would be fools not to consider what this could mean for us all,” Asmodeus’ voice answers calmly.

“She’s not—”

“She’s awake,” a feminine voice says, it’s a pleasant voice, and yet it carries commend with just those two simple words. Well, there goes that plan. I sigh, as I open my eyes and sit up. I’m sitting on top of a large desk in a library surrounded by demons. My eyes immediately seek out Adam, who is sitting on a chair on the far side of the room, watching the roaring fire he’s next to. Turning my head to look back at the other nine demons in the room, eight male demons and one female. She’s only the second female demon I’ve seen since coming here, I can’t help but notice the huge gender imbalance.

“Have you guys decided whether to question me or kill me yet? Or is a fun mix of both?” I say jokingly. I glance at the female demon, she’s beautiful with auburn hair that falls down in soft, shiny, loose curls around her doll-like face. Though tall, at least 5’9 from my guess, she’s delicately built with slight curves.

“And she still makes jokes,” one of the demons huffs disbelievingly. I turn in his direction, he’s one I’ve seen already. The one with azure-coloured eyes, and platinum blond hair.

“Sargatanas is right, she isn’t even taking this seriously,” another says, this one has deep red hair, tied back from his face.

“She killed Alastor, she needs to be held accountable,” another chimes in.

“A halfling? She could never have done it, I don’t believe it,” the one with the high-pitched voice says. What did Adam call him? Fleruty?

“How could you think she is incapable after that demonstration she just provided for us. She knocked several higher demons on their backs, from within the confines of a circle. One on one with Alastor, I believe she has enough power to have killed him,” Asmodeus says.

“Well, if she did, then what is she? Halflings do not have magic it is impossible, I refuse to accept it,” Fleruty replies belligerently.

“She isn’t a full demon, her eyes are human, and she walks in their world’s sun,” a calm, quiet voice says. I look in the direction of the voice at its owner. His purple-coloured eyes are sharp and intelligent. His cheekbones are high, and his brown hair hangs just below his chin.

“Achia makes a good point, she possesses demon magic, but she cannot be wholly demon with those eyes and sun walking ability,” the female demon says, nodding her head in his direction.

“Whether or not Satanachia makes a good point is pointless, Astaroth,” a voice growls.

“Then what is the point, Beelzebub? Do explain it to us all,” Astaroth replies, rolling her glowing eyes.
