”What are we doing, talking to angels for?” asked Guit, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand.
”They want to redeem themselves to the other angels.Why else would they be here, seeking information about the local elder demon?” Argen wiped his mouth with his napkin, then leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.
”But why are we bothering with them?” asked Guit.”We need to figure out a way to get you to be an elder demon so that your horde of followers can overrun this place.”
”But why?All of that seems to be so much work.I can just stay here, and not have to do anything.”
”But this place is boring, and Bob won't let us mooch off him forever!He probably wants us to pay for that food we just ate,” Guit snuck a glance back at Bob, to see him smile and nod in agreement from all the way across the room.Shivers ran down his spine, as he turned back to Argen.
”The only way I can get away with doing nothing, is if all the other demons, on this entire realm, were gone,” sighed Argen.
”Then you would be the most powerful demon here!” exclaimed Guit, excited by that thought.
”But it's going to be a lot of work, to get all the demons gone, and the angel armies are going to be a pain.”
”Then let's use those two angels that were here, to help us.They would want to get rid of the other demons, too, if we pointed them out to them.”
”That would be nice, to have someone else do all the work,” agreed Argen, stretching and opening his eyes as Bob walked up.
”Figured out how you're going to pay me, yet?” asked Bob, raising an eyebrow.
”I'm going to have the angels pay for the meal,” said Argen, crossing his arms.
”If they agree, you'll be free to go, but if not…” warned Bob.
Guit chirped in terror, more afraid of getting Bob upset, then he was of the elder demons that banished them here.Even Argen swallowed at the warning, before closing his eyes again.

Grey crashed through the wall, dust and debris flying everywhere, slashing her sword at the demon.
He gazed over at her, after jumping back, his red eyes almost giving off heat waves of their own as he was consumed with rage.His simple human form, that he had taken to hide his demonic form, disappeared with a ripple as he stood to his full size.Huge black horns protruded from his head, brushed the ceiling of the twelve-foot room.His thick red hide glistened in the flickering light of torches hung on the walls.Throwing his shaggy black hair back, he gave a roar that blew out the few windows that remained in the house.
Airow, having pulled back his bow, let loose four energy bolts, slamming them into the demon's chest and knocking him back.
