Chapter Seven: The Village of the Devils

Making progress through the snow was tough-going, both on our bodies and our spirits. Aina struggled to keep up with the group at first, but as soon as Celes offered to give her a piggyback, that particular problem was quickly solved. No, the real problem child (or children, as it turned out) was me, your resident Japanese human beanpole, and to an almost equal extent, Karen, whose desk job meant she was in a sedentary position most of the time.

Every time we fell behind, Baledos turned and yelled at us, and more often than not, we were having to lean on Kilpha to stop ourselves from getting separated from the group. Whenever we stopped for a break, Karen and I would immediately crumble to the ground, wheezing hard. I couldn’t even tell you how many times Dramom had to cast Heal on the pair of us. Kilpha and Eldos, on the other hand, seemed completely unfazed by the arduous trek. For the first time in a little while, I found myself quite impressed by just how strong adventurers were.

And so, we spent every waking hour trudging onward with very few breaks to rest, then at night, we built snow huts and huddled together inside them for warmth. This went on for three grueling days until we finally reached the village of the devils. As we approached, I saw that all the houses seemed to be made of ice, and against the colorful backdrop of the auroras that glowed overhead, it looked like a scene straight out of a fantasy movie. I never would have expected a barbarous tribe like the devils to live in such a whimsical-looking place.

A group of devils made up of both men and women alike were standing guard at the entrance to the village, their outfits practically screaming, “We’re soldiers.” They warily looked our group up and down with their deep crimson eyes that were the same shade as Celes’s, and just like her, their skin was frighteningly white.

Speaking of Celes, she strode right up to them, and lowering her hood, she announced, “It is me.”

As soon as the words had left her mouth, the demeanor of the guards did a total one-eighty. “Miss Celesdia!” they exclaimed, dropping to their knees and bowing their heads in a display of submission. It appeared there was a clear pecking order among the devils, perhaps because they were natural-born warriors. It was worlds apart from the rather loose hierarchy we had back in my university wrestling club, which was probably my nearest touchstone for this kind of thing.

“Welcome back, Miss Celesdia,” one guard said.

“We are glad to see you have made it back safely,” added another.

“We have been eagerly awaiting your return,” remarked a third.

The devils at the gate seemed glad to have Celes back among them. She was clearly well-respected in these parts, which made sense given that devils were known to value strength above anything else. The guards all gazed at her with zeal and admiration, but she simply ignored them.
