It was a cold moonlit night. A woman stood atop a skyscraper looking down over the humans milling about like tiny ants. Her silvery blonde hair was blown back by the wind, and her violet eyes had a determined glow about them.
Behind her appeared a man dressed in a white suit and top hat, with pink and purple detailing. He was also unusually tall.
"My lady, for what reason did you call me out here at this hour?" He asked, after bowing deeply to her.
"Don't bother me with your pleasantries, Mephisto." She said, turning to face him. "You know the kind of crisis we're dealing with. You yourself just saw proof of that in Lord Satan's bastard child. Now he's found out about my daughter, and killed her father's entire family. I've already hidden her away, and I placed a seal on her power. But it won't hold forever. I called you here to ask you to, when it breaks, take her into your care. Will you?"
Mephisto sighed. "The thing is, I have this little bet going on with a friend of mine regarding Lord Satan's child. If it doesn't interfere with that, I'll help her."
"That's all I'm asking for. Now, I don't have long. I suspect I'll be Lord Satan's next kill. I trust you, Mephisto." She narrowed her eyes. "If you let me down, I'll reincarnate myself to kill you."
"I'd expect no less from you, my lady." Mephisto said with a smirk as she left.
