Chapter II – Demons


"No way…" Rosette said.

She looked down the cliff from where they were standing. Millions of demons were wandering all around the camp. Chrno turned away. His memories of slaying 100 demons flooded his mind.

"We have gathered enough information on the opposing side. We just need to watch this camp a little bit and soon we can attack." Irena said. "Although when these demons fight there really isn't a plan, some of them practice their skill, especially the leaders. If we can get enough information on the leader's power, we can create the safest plan for Chrno to use his power. The other Guardians and I will hold back the demon armies until you make your move."

"So where are we suppose to stay?" Chrno asked. "They will surely notice if we stick around here."

"We have a small camp set up in the forest. It isn't a long walk so then we can come back and forth to study until that time." Takaro answered. "Anyways, enough talk. Let's go to the camp and we'll tell you what we have so far."

Rosette and Chrno nodded and the six of them headed off. There was a forest near the cliff, just like they had said. The camp was between the middle and entrance of the forest. The Guardians stopped and informed the two that they were there. Rosette looked around only to see a bunch of trees.

"I thought you said you had a camp set up!" Rosette complained.

Irena gave a small chuckle. Sabrine pointed up. "That's our camp. No one will suspect it up there. Also, we have a good view to see if a battle breaks out."

Chrno sweatdropped as Rosette gave an embarrassed chuckle. There was a small wooden ladder for Rosette and Chrno to climb up. The Guardian jumped off other trees in order to get to the top, which was a faster than the ladder.

Once Chrno and Rosette they saw a something that looked like a tree house. There were bookshelves, small laptops, and a lot of paper around the place.

"It sure is messy around here." Rosette muttered.

Takaro seemed to have heard her and gave a small shrug. "It can't be helped. We have to look out for other things in the universe, watch the armies, and keep and eye on you too. So we do a little research, check up on our duties, and then when we have to leave, we just put down the papers. That's how it ends up a mess."

Chrno didn't hear the last sentence due to what he heard before. "Why would you need to watch me?"

"We don't know everything. We were watching you to make sure you were the demon that the legend created by the God of this world stated." Demitrian answered as he went around picking up papers.

Chrno relaxed after hearing a simple answer as that. Rika laid out some pictures on the table and then sorted the papers she had picked up.

"The other camp has one leader. Their objective is to keep the old ways of the demon world and choose a new leader. The leader of that army is Raiel, he can use the souls of dead humans to make his army bigger. He is also very powerful and should not be underestimated." Rika said, reading off her papers. "The camp nearby wants to leave the way things are, meaning that they do not want to choose a new leader. Both sides have taken several years to gather a strong army."

"Our plan is for you to use your power to stop time to stop both armies. When you do, it will tire you out because there will be a lot of high class demons. So once you do, we will alter the memories of the demons with the power that the God of this world has given us." Sabrine said. She pointed at five amulets in the back of the room that were in cases. "Any questions?"

Rosette and Chrno shook their heads.

"Alright then, let's go spying!" Takaro said with excitement in his voice.

They all went back to where they were before and observed the demons. The Guardians gave them binoculars to look at the demons better. They pointed out the leader's tent and some of the high ranking demons.

They had some close calls because once in a while some demons looked up and nearly saw them. But luckily they were able to hide in time and the demons didn't notice them. But Rosette's stomach suddenly growled.

"I haven't eaten anything since breakfast…" She groaned.

Irena gave a small smile. "We have some food back at our place. Let's head back now, I think we have enough information for today."

The others nodded and they started walking back. But then Demitrian stopped, hearing footsteps behind them.

"Well, well look what we have here." A voice growled.
