Satan looked around by the handle of the sword. There were a group of students around, staring at him as he was dug into the ground. But what caught Satan's attention, was a small pink haired girl with no emotion. Her soul seemed to be broken, but there was also power in her.

"Well Louise..." Colbert said as he stared at the strange sword. It seemed to be entirely scarlet red, the handle colored black, the sword being unusually...demonic. "I see you summoned your familiar. Strange as its an item, but that is your familiar. Please continue the summoning."

Satan brought his attention to the conversation. A person had summoned him? HIM? The ruler of Hell? Oh...this was just too good to take in...but being a familiar?

Eh. Who cares! As long as he was out then he could take over this world? Who knows...it could be exciting...

"Yes Colbert." Louise said as she walked towards the sword. Bending down, Louise placed her wand on the handle. "Founder Brimir, bless this humble sword to be my familiar." Louise placed a small chaste kiss on the handle, and a rush of knowledge entered Satan's mind. 'Gandàlfr!? Why isn't that Brimir's Familiar...uhh...I don't remember her name but I do believe she came here. Haha...HAHAHA! How entertaining that I'm in her world...' Satan thought as he chuckled. Runes began to engrave itself onto the hilt of the sword, burning into it. Of course Satan didn't feel any of it, but he did watch as they were etched.

"Alright that ends the Springtime Summoning for this class. Come along now." Colbert told the class as he moved his wand around and levitated away, students following him as they too levitated. The students all snickered at Louise, who was the only one that couldn't so a simple levitation spell. This only caused them to add fuel to the fire that boiled inside Louise, hidden inside of her.

"Come." Louise said as she pulled out the sword and walked towards her room, not caring about anything else.


Sitting in her queen sized bed. Louise cleaned the sword that was on her lap with a rag. Silence was in the air, something Satan could no longer handle.

"Ahhh! Someone stop this silence!" Satan shouted as his voice echoed in Louise's mind, not affecting her in any way.

"Sword Talks." Louise said as she stopped cleaning and set the rag down. Lifting the sword in a standing position, Louise stared at Satan.

"Of course I do! I am...a king."

"No more King in Tristain. King already dead." Louise replied as she stared at the sword more closely.

"Ah but thats where your wrong. I've actually come from somewhere else. I was...sealed as you would think. But I've come to give you a deal."

"Deal. Explain."

"I'll give you an amazing deal you'll have to accept! You see, as I was about to be defeated by my enemies, you had saved me...and no one just saves a king without a reward. So I've come to put you under my wing."

"Apprentice."

"Yes, as an apprentice. With your...magic problem which I could fix it, there's just one thing you must donate...your Humanity..."


Louise stood in a made shift circle, drawings of unknown words and symbols around the circle which she stood in. Louise was sitting in a meditation position, Satan had instructed her to do so as he wanted no mistakes in it. Louise, who continued with her emotionless face as anyome in the right mind would have been nervous. She was a Zero, that she finally accepted. She was a disgrace of the mages...

A disgrace in her mothers eyes.

The students in the academy laughed and picked on her do to her inability of conjuring magic. No one took her seriously. She would be better off dead. Maybe that will end everything...

But when her familiar, Satan as he called himself, said that he was to give her a chance at making magic again...

She took the chance. Not out of hope, but just to try. Only when he said he had to donate something to him, she thought it would be money. Only it turned out to be her Humanity.

She accepted of course. No one actually cared about her, only maybe the Princess and her Big Sister Cattelya...

But they rarely came to visit.

"Louise get ready," Satan echoed in her mind as both were binded by the runes, "this is going to be painful...hahaha...have fun..." and Satan poured his power in Louise, he was thankful for the runes as both were connected. The symbols and words on the floor, as well as the circle around her, glowed blue as blue fire erupted from them. Louise bit her lip as she swallowed screams and small sobs. Her whole body felt like it was in fire, like a swarm of wasps were biting her inside her. She just wanted to end this quickly, who knows how long she might stay sane.

But unknown to Louise...a small ghostlike of herself was leaving her body and into the pits of Hell itself. Making a deal with Satan was a price to pay...and that price was a one way to Hell. Louise's small ghostlike self looked at its host and nodded, disappearing in thin air, never to be seen again.

Meanwhile, Louise was digging her nails into the floorboard, pulling off a bit of wood in then process. Louise's eyes began to bleed, as did her nose as small trickles of it fell in the floor. Her canines on her teeth grew larger as if she was born like that, her ears grew pointy and demon like, near her bottom, a thin tail grew as a small patch of fur grew on the tip of the tail. And finally, small patches of white flames were on Louise, her Void Magic and the new powers and magic that Satan had given her enfusing with her. 'How interesting...I think I found the right person to rule after me...' Satan thought as he was placed on the wall, watching through the sword at Louise's transformation.

The blue flames died down as the last of a few changes were ending. Louise panted as the pain left her body. In the mirror near her bed, Louise crawled towards it and stared at the changes. Her pink hair had seemed to be wild and untameable, and the tail. She looked at the mirror for the last time, before cracking it with only a look of her eyes.

This...

Was much better.
