Demon Fire

Harley kept trying to figure out who she was. Karma was asleep and he was alone, or so he thought.

Then he heard a crash form the tower's peak. He knew what lived up there. A cold chill ran the length of his spine. He ran up the stairs to the tower's peak and was shocked at what he found there. A huge flying fox bat about five feet tall with snarled lips and a monster that he couldn't relate to anything. It was kind of like a dog with no ears and scales instead of fur. It had spikes coming from out of it's neck to down to it's tale. It was blood red with eyes blacker then anything he'd ever seen before. The bat had many bloody wounds, but the monster had nothing but scrapes on it's scales. The bat lunged at the monster, it's hind feet outstretched. The monster gave a squeal of pain and rage. A little bit of blood the same colour as the beast's eyes trickled down it's scales. The bat flew down the staircase, fear in it's eyes. Harley fallowed the bat, who he knew as the tower keeper. Then there was the sound of a million trees catching fire at once and what looked like a black bomb cloud seemed to fallow them. The cloud touched Harley. It didn't burn him like fire would do, he hardly knew why he was running until three seconds later when he found it hard to breathe. The cloud imploded, leaving the tower. The tower keeper sprinkled some kind of herb into his nostrils. He could breathe properly now.

"So, yev ne'er been around daemon fire afore, 'ave ye?"

Somehow, Harley wasn't surprised that the bat could speak. Strange things like that always seemed to happen around Karma.

"That was a demon?"

"Oi! Do noe be stew-pied! Ye knoe a daemon when ye sees un, don' ye?"

"I've... no. I've never seen a demon."

"So, now yer eex-tra stew-pied! Did ye noe see ee 'Ellhound Oi warz a-battle'n? It warz a daemon, ye knoe!"

"Sorry, I-"

"It do noe martter no mar. Wif 'er aroun', everytangs screwed."

And with that the huge bat flew back up the tower, leaving Harley bewildered.

Wow! Another short chappy!
