"Where the fuck are we?" I was standing, with my hands on my hips, while my eyes surveyed the area around me.

"I have no idea, Sire. Is that a town up ahead?"

"Where?" I looked out but couldn't see anything that would resemble a town.

"There, Sire," Bridabur pointed to a small enclave, a little to the left, in the distance.

"Um." We were too far away for me to be sure, but it might be a town. "You could be right, Bride."

"Food, Sire," Bridabur was now standing beside me with his eyes focussed on the spot in the distance. "We need to get food."

"And lodgings." Food and shelter was vital. We needed to regroup and work out what we were going to do for our future.

"And hot showers."

I looked over to see a grin spreading across Bride's face. I laughed at him. "Not used to walking like this, are you Bride?"

"I have told you not to call me that, Sire. I hate it when you call me that."

"Why do you think I do it?" Now we were free, everything felt lighter. My emotions were seesawing… one minute I felt on top of the world… the next I was back in the Demon Realm with all the men I'd left behind. But… with a town in walking distance, the day was looking up. It would be good to get food and wine, along with a bath and a comfortable bed. And I didn't want to neglect the chance of a warm, willing woman. Yes, it would be great if that was a town up ahead. Unfortunately, we weren't going to get there by simply standing and looking in that direction. We all trudged our feet forward, for the long march towards our destination.

"Sire?" Bridabur looked over at me. "How are we going to pay for our food and lodging?"

"Like we will have to for some time, I expect. We will have to steal to pay for what we need. That is until we can get organised with the gems we brought with us."

"I wonder what this world is like? Do you think it differs from the demon realm?"

I kept my eyes facing forward. The weight of responsibility was hanging heavily upon me as I was their leader. "I think it will be quite a bit different, Bride. But, as with everywhere, some things remain the same. People, whether demon, human, or anything else, need food and a warm place to lay their head. Give it time, Bride. Time will sort everything out, for us. Now we are here, we can take as much time as we need." As long as we played our cards right, no-one would come for us. We just had to blend in.

All the stories I'd heard sent the same message. Once you leave the demon realm, unless you do something radical or stupid, they would leave you alone. Left alone to flourish or die according to nature and the attributes of this realm.

That worked for me. I would make sure that myself and all the demons with me, would be survivors.
