Engravings in blood and fire
The door opened with a loud creak and groan, revealing a gigantic dimly lit rectangular room.
Demon's mouth hung open slightly at the grand, regal, and intimidating appearance of the throne room.
A long dark purple, nearly black, carpet with pastel purple markings lay at the center of the room leading from the door to a set of large stairs. Black pillars lined the walls and torches hung from the top of each pillar on metal baskets. flags hung on the body of the pillars with a similar pattern and color to the carpet.
Guards stood between each pillar, adorning heavy silver armor, a halberd and shield in each hand. Torches in tall metal lamps rose from the ground standing beside the Knights. A huge dragon statue that looked as if it was crawling on the roof, dug its claws into the stone and its large,thick, body was crouched low as if it was about to pounce on its victim.
The dragon's head twisted to look down towards the floor, it's face was twisted into a snarl revealing sharp white fangs. A snake like tongue slid between its fangs and it's eyes felt like it was alive and growling at the person standing in front of the base of the steps. She couldn't help but feel slightly uncomfortable underneath it's glazed red eyes.
The man sitting on the throne was slumped down, his right arm rested on the armrest and left bent upwards supporting his head with his fist. His hair was snow white and reached his shoulders, a white beard reached his chest and black hairs running down the center like a spike. The man's skin was a dark grey, and his eyes where a deep brown almost black. He was dressed in black armour with a large white fur cape and a huge gold crown atop his head.
He looked bored as he listens to a familiar sewer rat demon had met earlier.
(Awww, looks like the scrawny pet made it back to its master. Maybe this time I can kill him, or at least make him suffer a bit hehehe.)
A harsh tug on her neck, snapped her back to reality making her stumble forward. She hissed at the soldier but the he didn't seemed bothered by it in the least.
(Tch, This old crow is trying to intimidate me with his big fancy castle and guards. I can't let him do that... no one has ever beat me, and never in a million years can this old man and his stupid tin pails can do to scare me into submission! But...for now, I need to be smart and play along. At least till I know what he and everyone here is capable of.)
They walked until they came to the base of the tan stairs. Garon straightened as he saw them approach, he lifted up a clawed gauntleted hand silencing iago. Everyone in the room froze and tensed at the king's movement, the air seemed to grow colder and heavier as Garon stared at demon.
Demon glared back unflinching she was determined to show she was not afraid of him.
Both stared silently at one another, for what felt like forever. Demon didn't dare look away she refused to lose! However, the king's gaze felt like it was sizing her up and staring deep into her soul. For once Demon herself felt intimidated by some one.
After awhile king Garon slowly leaned back against his chair and a quiet chuckle entered the room. His head was slumped down like he was looking at the ground. His body moved slightly as the chuckling increased in sound. He then began to laugh loudly from his throne, his laugh was deep and loud like thunder. His head rose and reared back as if he had just witnessed the funniest thing in his life. "This is the child I've been waiting for? This...thing is pathetic it's no bigger than a child? And it looks so scrawny too!" His yell echoed through the hall loudly.
(he's laughing at me!? How dare he laugh at me! oh, I'll give him something to laugh about! I'll tear his arms off an shove em down his throat till his hands tickle his balls! Or maybe it's more fun to break his teeth and nose and keep his mouth shut till he swallows em!)
Demon placed both her bound hands together, and used her anger to forced both her hands to shift into a giant black greatsword with silver wrapping around the hilt and flowing towards the blade. Her bonds screeched and bent as her hands morphed breaking at the seams. She then used the sword to break the bonds on her feet and her power surged back into her.
With a heave she lifted the black blade and sliced through the guards armour and flesh. The soldiers upper body fell forward and with a loud clunk hit the floor. The guard near the pillars began to move in to stop her however, they all stopped when Garon lifted a hand.
Demon didn't care she released a battle cry that sounded half human half beast and tore up the stairs. The black blade dragging behind her and digging into the stones.
Garon grinned sadistically like a madman and rose from his chair. Demon was nearing him at a fast speed,but the heavy blade she dragged behind her seemed to be slowing her down slightly.
Demon reached the top of the stairs, she jumped high in the air and lifted her blade to strike. The blade swung down, and was met with a huge clawed gauntlet. Garon held the black blade with a single hand, and demon hung lifelessly from the blade. The king laughed again as demon glared, and jerked around to get out of his grip.
(What the heck! How?! How the heck did he do that is he stronger, than me!?)
Garon clicked his tongue, and shook his head.
"Well...you are indeed strong and quite wild. But I guess that's normal since you grew up in the pits. Isn't that right my little pet." The kings voice was deep and held a mocking tone. Demon thrashed wildly in his grip, but no matter what she did she could not change her hands back to normal. "Let me go!" Demon yelled.
Garon brought demon closer to his face looking over her as she flailed and yelled.
He ran his eyes over her body carefully looking everything over. He looked at her eye, fangs and ears. Lifting an eyebrow curiously.
" I take it there are no other injuries besides her eye, correct?" He said ignoring demon's threats and struggling.
Iago nodded quickly and stepped back nervously looking between the two.
"Good...I hope missing an eye and your short, childlike body does not hinder your performance, for your sake pet not mine." He trailed his free hand across her makeshift bandage "strange...it seems that the project caused you body to have some...interesting side effects." Demon snapped at his fingers and managed to graze one of his fingers with her fangs.
Garon grimaced, lifted his free hand and slammed it into demon's stomach.
Demon cried out and Garon released her as she thudded to the floor and curled into a ball. He then bent down and grabbed her white hair.
"The first thing I'm going to teach you my pet is how to behave to your new master." Garon lifted her head to meet his face. He used his other hand to grab her face. His cold eyes piercing her own, a chill ran up demon's spine. She couldn't speak, couldn't move, all she could do was shake.
He then grabbed demon's head and smashed her face into the stone. She felt the stone break underneath her. Demon screamed gripping her face, and squirming around. "I see that you also are still not up to your full strength yet. Pathetic, I thought you would be so much stronger and fiercer looking! But all I get is this pathetic excuse of a weapon. I had high expectations from you iago, and you failed me." Garon yells stomping back and forth.
" Get up!" He snapped. Demon didn't move, she was in shock of this man's strength.
"I said, get up!" He yelled kicking demon in the stomach again.
Demon yelped and slowly picked herself back up from the ground. Her breath came in shallowly and obviously some of her ribs were broken as was her nose. Demon stumbled a bit but regained her footing, and made sure to glare at the king.
The king seemed to take amusement at this, a chuckle escaping him.
"Good! You see, your starting to understand! It's not that hard." He said smirking and crossing his arms. Demon glared and charged at the king again with incredible speed.
She dodged his large fist as he tried to grab her again and spun to the right, then slammed her fist into his side with all her inhuman strength.
Garon didn't even seem to feel it, he stood completely still. Then he slowly turned his head towards her, demon didn't waste any time. Jumping up she tried to kick his face but before her foot made contact Garon lifted up a large hand and grabbed it. He then spun around and threw her across the room, straight into a pillar. Demon fell to the floor with a pitiful plop, unmoving and pitting blood.
The king turned over to iago and glared, the scrawny man came forward and bowed deeply. "Sire she may not be ready yet but I promise you she will be! She has yet to awaken her TRUE power. Just give me a little more time please!" Iago begged.
Baron hugged and plopped back down in his chair "Take this beast and do as the dusk dragon will's." He said to iago. Two guards went over to the barely conscious demon and place new gauntlets and boots on demon. Then iago took the back chain hanging on her neck and walked out of the room.
Demon did not resist this time she stumbled forward in a heavy daze.
Trying to ignore the king's eyes glaring into her back, that itself frightened her more than she'd like to admit.
Demon walked, more like limped, out of the throne room and down the hall in a daze. Iago leading and four guards two in the front and two trailing behind. Iago was rambling on about some stupid thing or whatever.
Blood was dripping from the side of her mouth and nose. She limped heavily, had a pounding headache, and it hurt to breath too deep. She knew that some of her ribs had to be broken or bruised and her spine wasn't happy with her either. Of course these wounds would heal quicker than normal people but it still would take a few days.
(I've never met any animal or person who is as strong as me...I've always had to hold back, but him...he didn't even flinch! His strength...he's stronger than me! How is he the same as me?! Maybe he knows what we are?! Maybe he knows what I am?! Can he tell me my past? Or my real name? Or maybe where we are from or who my parents are?!)
"Oiy, kid! Stop walking we are here." A tug on her chain stopped her. She looked around to realise they were in a dark room barely lit ,It was a circular room with a strange symbol in the center and stretching out towards the walls. Hooded figures stood in the darkness their faces masked in shadow and at the center of the room was a large metal bowl that held yellow and red coals that hissed.
a metal rode lay on the side of the bowl the end resting inside and underneath the hot coals. A series of tools lay on a table on the right side of the bowl all spread out and organized. Because of demon's special vision she could see each one clearly. Large and small needles and thread, knives of all sizes, books stacked on top of one another,and finally bandages and healing medicine.
A strange chair was on the other side, it was made of thick metal rods. The place where the head rests was made to look like a helmet made of various straps. The places for the legs and hands had the same straps. The bars made an outline of a chair but had no back to it. Allowing the back of the person's back, arms, legs, and neck to be exposed.
Demon didn't have to be smart to know what was about to happen, that was not a friendly looking chair to rest on, and these tools did not make her feel relaxed.
Iago turned toward the guards "leave! Go out the door and wait there for my orders! We can handle it from here!" He shooed the guards out the door.
One of the hooded figures walked up towards demon and iago and bowed.
"Everything is prepared master iago. however, the others...they have their concerns about permanent damage or even killing the specimen." the cloaked figure says in a quiet raspy voice. Iago glared at him, which caused the man to stutter and bow again. "b-but of course you wouldn't fail master iago! You are the wisest and most powerful mage in this land! T-there's no way you could fail I have complete faith in you, it's the others who are afraid milord!"
Iago sighed, rolled his eyes, and handed the large chain to the cloaked man. He then walked towards the center of the room and stopped at the bowl of coals.
He then looked down at the instruments, and inspected each one with a steady hand.
He finished and turned towards the cloaked man holding demon's chain.
"well? Don't just stand there like idiots! Bring it here and let's begin! The branding must be completed today and we have already lost almost half of it. Lord Garon wants his pet ready for tomorrow." Iago said crossing his arms.
Demon pulled back against the man as he drug her towards the chair, the others quickly came to help him. Demon was losing the battle because of her injuries and the bonds magic.
"Get your bloody hands of me!" She shouted jerking her arms she turned and bit one of their hands. The man screeched but that just made her bite down harder. The others panicked and began hitting her and using the knives to try and pry her off the poor soul.
iago grew impatient he snapped his finger, a chill rose in the air and a giant green creature rose from behind him groaning loudly. Large shackles and chains hung from its wrists and a metal hemelt covered it's head. The creature nearly touched the roof and it reeked of rotten flesh.
"Go and help them restrain her before they kill her." He ordered, the creature gave a groan and slowly trudged forward.
Demon's mouth was filled with blood and was dripping out. But she refused to let go, she dug her feet into the floor and pushed back as hard as she could. She could barely breathe at this point, but she was not going to give in.
Suddenly though,the men all backed up, and demon was gripped in a bone crushing hug. Her arms were pinned to her sides by what felt like iron. Then they began to squeeze slowly getting tighter and tighter. Demon felt all of the air in her lungs leave her, her bones grind together as the grip tightened.
" You really are a foolish little thing, and quiet pathetic might I add." Iago walked into her vision his eyes showed disappointment.
"I don't know wether to congratulate you on your stubbornness or call you dumb. Let go of this man's hand and I'll tell my faceless to stop...or you can continue being stupid until all the bones in your body are broken.
I wonder, which one will you choose beast?"
Demon wanted to retort but there was a hand in her mouth.
Iago shook his head "this just goes to prove your more of a beast than a human." He then turned back to the table and picked up the biggest knife there.
"While this has been interesting we are losing precious time." He said as he walked back over to them. He lifted the sharp knife, demon prepared herself for the hit. Closing her eye, she heard the knife cutting through flesh and the sound of blood. Demon didn't feel any more pain though only when an ear piercing screech came from the man that she bit sounded in the air. Her head fell forward and she dropped the hand. She opened her eye to find the cloaked man on the floor cradling the arm now a stub at the wrist.
Demon stared in shock at what just transpired. (He didn't cut me? Why?)
As if sensing her question iago answered "your already injured enough with these idiots and the king. We can't lose our little pet, not when we've, no I, worked so hard to make this project a success!" He sneered. Iago cleaned the knife with a cloth and snapped his fingers
The large faceless followed behind iago and placed demon on the chair. the others quickly fully undressed her and strapped her wrists, ankles, and head using material similar to her bonds.
Demon was having a very hard time staying awake now. Her right ribs were definitely broken and she was going to have a few bruises. Her head pounded as she tried in vain to rid herself of her bonds. They removed her mask, which made demon even more frantic and rabid. They all stopped when they did mumbling to one another in hushed tones and touching the skin around her right eye. Iago tricked his chin "hmmm interesting I need to show lord Garon this and run a few tests but later... for now let's begin!"
The next part was complete hell. The hooded men came forward and grabbed their knives. Under iago's orders They began cutting engravings into damon's arms, legs, torso, and face. for what felt like hours demon laid there feeling each knife dig deep into her skin and slowly slide effortlessly across her body. They did what felt like every inch of her, then they threw what looked like dust into the wounds. It burned and felt like fire was burning her and stinging her alive. Then after that was over she felt needed being poked into her skin and thread pulling it back together bit by bit.
"You stupid cowards let me out of here! I'll kill you! I'll kill you all!" She screamed thrashing around wildly.
Her blood dripped to the floor and the sting of the wounds soon numbed her whole body and senses.
She was barely conscious and no longer had the will to fight back.
Then after that torture was over, iago went to the coals and picked up the metal inside of it. He lifted it up to reveal a strange glowing sigil, a circle with eight spikes and two wings circling it.
He walked back over to her chair with the hissing metal with an expression of childlike glee. Demon's eye widened and she paled significantly. A searing, stinging, blinding pain erupted from her chest causing the world to go dark. She tried to break free of her bonds, but she was far too weak. Another Horrid pain appeared on her left palm, causing her to scream and flail desperately. However, no matter what she did they didn't listen so she did something that was humiliating, she begged and cried for them to stop.
Another pain on the top of her right hand, She made a nose she didn't even know at this point. The pain continued, on her left palm and the top of her left hand. Soon she was beginning in sons and screams.
"Please! Please no! Please stop! It hurts! Please! I'm begging ya I'll do anything!"
Another sharp burning pain then she finally was blessed with unconsciousness.
Demon's vision blurred in and out of focus, it was so cold, or was it too hot? She couldn't tell... her body felt heavy and stung all over. Ir hurt just taking in a short hitched breath. Her body kept twitching and spasming. Demon tried to speak but all that left her throat was a loud groan and moan.
"Hey, it's alright I got you." A gentle childlike voice said. Soft, cold hands caressed demon's face with a feather like touch. She jerked at the contact hissing at the sudden cold and pain.
"Milady! You shouldn't touch her who knows what illnesses this person has! Plus she's probably in this cell and bandaged like this for a reason." Another female voice hissed sharply.
"She's bleeding a lot and these bandages are poorly done." The child voice said talking more to herself than the others. "Plus she has an incredibly high fever. Whoever treated this poor girl did a terrible job."
"Oh please Effie, lady Elise is just doing what any heroic soul like she would do." A dramatic male voice yelled loudly.
"Hush! Both of you! Your disturbing her!" The childlike voice, now dubbed Elise, said annoyed.
"With all do respect madame, we aren't even supposed to be here!" The harsh voice of Effie groaned.
Demon's blurred vision saw the face of a young girl with pale skin and beautiful purple eyes. She moved out of demon's vision and then returned and placed something cold on her forehead.
"There ya go, that should help a bit. Just wait one second and I'll get my staff ok?" Shuffling was heard and footsteps sounding further away. Demon vision went black and she didn't know how much time passed
"Miss Elise, I believe Effie does have a point, we need to hurry. If you are found down here there will be consequences." The male voice said a little further away.
"Just let me heal this last person and I'll leave I promise!" The girl tired to say back at the males voice.
"hey..hey! Miss, You can't fall asleep yet, hold on." The voice said in a playfully manner. A warm feeling spread through demon's body and she breathed slightly easier.
"There ya go!" Elise's voice cheered "the guards said I can't use a healing staff on you but I can use a cure! That should take care of the fever. Now you need to get lots of rest ok? Healers orders!" she giggled.
"Alright milady that's the last one, now we really do have to leave." The male voice said frantically. "All right,all right I'm coming Arthur! Jeez!" Elise grumbled
Demon's visions slowly grew dark but before it did she saw the girl deemed Elise wave goodbye at her as she left.
"I hope you get better, maybe we'll meet again sometime? Bye!" She yelled as her footsteps left, demon then fell asleep.
Demon woke to blurred vision yet again but this time she felt a little better. A cold cloth was on her forehead and she was in the same robe she used during her stay with those two wired maids. She slowly lifted herself into a sitting position, instantly regretting it when her body made its protests known. She hissed loudly
"dang, what the heck did they do to me?" She mumbled, her body felt like lead and her head was clouded.
A click sounded and the door quietly opened, a man walked in dressed in a long sleeved white shirt and black pants. He wore a black vest that had a purple tie and his hair was silver.
He seemed surprised to find her awake visibly stilling when their eyes met.
"Ah, good morning miss." He said with a deep bow.
Demon grimaced (great another weirdo to deal with) she thought trying her best not to roll her eye. Her left arm was itching something fierce so she lifted up a hand to rub it noticing that it was bandaged from the fingers all the way up to her shoulder. "What the...?" She said getting up and stumbling over to a full body mirror on the other side of the room.
The silver haired man tried to stop her, but she shook him off. When she got to the mirror she stated in shock her whole body was covered in bandages from head to toe. Some had blood seeping through while other remained clean.
"Your body heals incredibly quickly miss, I'm surprised by how fast your wounds stopped bleeding." The man said behind her.
Demon growled "what do ya mean wounds? Those monsters mutilated me!" She yelled hourly. She reached up and tried to take off the bandages on her head off. The tall man quickly moved forward and placed a hand on her arm. " Please miss you've just woken up we don't want you injuring yourself." He said calmly. "Hands off!" Demon hissed and elbowed him in the stomach. He coughed and staggered backwards.
The door opened again and two familiar people walked in, Felicia and Flora. "Jacob! what in the dusk dragon's name is going on in here!" Flora yelled fuming.
"Oh, are you alright Jacob? What happened?" Felicia added as she ran to assists the man as he leaned against the wall.
Demon groaned In annoyance at how well these stupid things were wrapped.
"Ah! Demon your awake! It's so good to see you again!" Felicia smilled noticing demon struggling.
Demon ignored them and continued to try and get the annoying bandages off.
"Umm, do you mind if I help you?" Felicia asked kindly. She was trying, and failing, to hide her amusement and giggling.
Demon still struggled and spun around trying to rip them off. A hand rested on her shoulder and demon jerked around to find herself face to face with Felicia's chest. Felicia smiled gently and said slowly. "Let me help you ok? Your just going to make it harder to get off with your struggling." "Felicia be careful she's already managed to injure Jacob." Flora glared at demon as she helped Jacob sit on the floor and check for injuries.
"It's alright flora, she just caught me by surprise. I don't think anything is broken." Jacob grabbed her hands and pulled them off he then rose from the ground, and shook his arms.
Demon finally sighed in defeat and lowered her hand.. "Fine...you can help." She grumbled quietly.
Felicia nodded, happy her patience paid off and began untying the bandages around her face.
"I'll go get some tea and miss demon's lunch." Jacob said leaving the room still clutching his stomach.
Demon felt slightly guilty for hitting him, especially without her bonds weakening her power. Flora stood there watching her sister and demon like a hawk, her hands clenched into fists and relaxing. She shifted from side to side and bit her lip. "Well Flora? Are you going to help me or just stand there?" Felicia asked while keeping her eyes trained on the wrapping.
Flora grumbled but complied, Felicia looked like she was already struggling. Her face was set in a deep frown and her light blue eyes were laser focused. Felicia stepped to the side as flora moved in, she took the end of a bandage on the top of her head.
With gentle fingers she took the cloth and maneuvered it around demon's face. Demon tried to stay as still as possible as the layer of bandages left her face.
Demon kept her gaze on the stone floor as the maids worked trying to keep still. A sharp intake of breath was heard from flora. "Goodness gracious! What on earth did they do to you?" Felicia whispered behind flora wide eyed.
Demon grimaced turning around she looked back at the mirror and her heart dropped. Her head was shaved clean and her skin had tattoo like scars running all across her face head and running down towards her neck. The marking were symbols and words meshed together. Demons face was a mess of symbols and on her forehead was a strange symbol burned into the skin. All the symbols and letters connected to the symbol like veins attached to and organ.
at that moment she realised her eye patch was missing as well. Her right eye socket was non-existent and the skin was covered in deep navy blue scales that went from the tip of her nose and spread towards the right side of her face. Over here her eye should be and towards her ear it went down to her cheek bone and up to her eyebrows.
She reached up and covered it quickly with her hand. She didn't turn around knowing the others have already seen it, demon felt her eye sting and begin to water. (Why can't everyone just leave me alone!? I was fine living my life as a gladium) demon thought bitterly biting the inside of her lip.
Sure demon acted tough, if you weren't tough you'd be eaten alive by others. She had many memories of returning to her cell heavily injured and crying, praying, begging or anything for someone to come save her.
Now, in a short period of time, they had shaved her head inscribed weird symbols and words in her skin and branded her.
She didn't know how to feel, her life in the arena was so simple. Fight, kill, make it gory for the audience so they like it, and then go back to the cell. It was hard at first,she had to learn to survive, and when that wasn't enough, she learned to make her fights more...interesting for the viewers. As long as the audience loved her and she was good at killing she survived. Plain and simple.
The guards left her alone and she left them alone, that's how it was, but now everyone was up in her business. Asking her questions and demanding she she obey.
It was weird to think of the events that transpired, some of them felt real and others felt like they were fever dreams.
Something touched her shoulder and she jerked it off swiftly. Turning and crouching low with a snarl ready to rip whoever's arm it was. "Stop with the freaking touching!" Demon hissed glaring at the two maids.
Flora crossed her arms and matched demon's glare unflinching. Felicia, on the other hand, shrunk and hid behind her sister.
"I was only trying to comfort you! You don't have to glare and growl at everyone like a rabid animal! My sister and I have done nothing but take care of you since you first arrived here. Especially Felicia who has showed you nothing but kindness! I don't know what they did to you after I left...but by the looks of it they weren't kind." Flora's voice was cold as she said this, but her eyes were sympathetic.
"You don't freaking say!" Demon mumbled under her breath sarcastically and rolled her eye. "It doesn't look that bad..." Felicia tried to say kindly as she peeked out shyly behind her sister.
Demon bit her lip trying to hold back a harsh retort, and instead straightened herself. She closed her eye and took a deep breath then released it.
(She is right, besides Flora's threat, both have been kind to me so far. I don't know about the silver haired guy but these two I can relax...at least for now. Besides I could easily kill them if they try anything. Especially since I no longer have my bonds on.)
Demon opened her eye, Felicia now stood beside Flora and was almost mirroring her sister's stance. Both watched demon with a careful expression, an awkward silence filled the room. Demon shifted under the two maids gaze, Flora and Felicia rubbed their arms and glanced around the room.
A loud click and creak noise made all three young ladies jump. The man with silver hair, (wasn't his name Jakob or something?) Entered the room and looked around until he spotted the girls.
"Did I miss something?" He asked curiously.
"Ah!" Felicia clapped her hands together and smiled. "We haven't introduced you to Jakob yet have we demon?" She turned to Jakob lifting a hand towards him. "Demon, this is Jakob and all three of us will be caring for you from now on." Felicia gave a small curtsy.
"Wait...what do ya mean y'all are going to take care of me from now on?" Demon asked raising an eyebrow.
Jakob gently placed the tray he had on the table and turned to demon, he placed his right hand in his chest and said. "We are to be your servants until the day we die mistress demon, or at least till we are ordered not to." He finished with a deep bow.
Flora frowned as Jakob said this and she visibly flinched, Felicia smiled and nodded as demon looked at her confused.
Demon grimaced at the mention of servants, while she knew very little of what a servant is she did know that they were treated badly. She often overheard conversations about them, and how they were pathetic trash that was used in various ways.
"I don't want, an I do not need servants." Demon said defiantly. She turned sharply and walked to the table where the tray was placed on. Demon then sat down and began eating, the plate had a cooked chicken leg and some corn.
"I'm afraid you do not have a choice on the matter." Flora said behind demon "our orders are from lord Garon himself and it is foolish to disobey him. "Exactly as Flora says, believe me when I say that I like this as much as you do lady demon." Jakob added with a cold expression.
Demon simply grunted in reply since her mouth was full. After she ate the three servants tried to dress her, but ended up in danger by demon. Even Felicia could not convince her to let them dress her, so they simply laid the cloths out for demon.
The shirt was a black tank top with thick light purple lines running all over it and the lines were outlined in gold. The pants were also black and clung to demon's legs like a second skin. Gold and light purple markings circles the bottom of the pants were the feet came out. A belt made of gold brackets hung around her waist. Luckily she didn't see any shoes or gloves, not like she needed or wanted them anyway.
A gold eye mask was all that remained, she placed it on gently and turned to the mirror.
(Well...I don't look that bad...maybe) demon thought as she looked over herself. Her pale arms had the same strange symbols and marking as her head, but when they got to the center of both the top and palms of her hands a strange symbol was burned there also.
The markings were on her neck and snaked all around, there was no beginning or end to them they all were connected like veins to the symbols.
(I don't even want to think about how the rest of my body looks brrrrr.) Demon shivered at the thought. The gold eye mask covered her forehead and curved down to the tip of her nose then went right towards her right eye all the way down to the cheekbone then traveled back towards her ear in an upwards curve.
Felicia clapped her hands together loudly "Well now that that's done, how about I show you around the castle?! It's your new home so you need to know own where everything is."
"Felicia, you can't do that. We a have a job to do, you can't calavant around the castle." Flora chastised crossing her arms.
"Perhaps I could do it then?" Jakob walked forward and placed his hand on his chest.
"I know the castle fairly well I believe I could be of assistance, besides is it not my duty to help my master."
"It's fine, I'm not a baby I can walk around myself y'all do what ya need to. Like I said I don't need no one to take care of me." Demon growled tuning and walking out of the room before anyone else could speak.
