12 Chapter 12 The Truth (1/2)
Stepping into the bar, Airow and Grey spied the two strangers still sitting at their table, but this time, the taller one looked to be asleep, while the shorter one was fidgeting and throwing glances at Bob.When he saw them, he jumped from his seat and rushed over.
”Oh, good!You were successful then?The elder demon is dead?”
”Yes, it was a hard fight, but he has been vanquished,” said Airow.
”I do not believe we have been properly introduced.I am Grey and this is Airow.”
”I am Guit, and that is my master Argen.We were hoping you would be successful because we would like to work with you, if you are interested?”Guit couldn't seem to stand still anymore than he was while sitting.He danced in place, finally dashing back to the chair and climbing into it.
Airow and Grey went to the table as well, and sat.Argen seemed oblivious, a soft snore escaping every once in a while.
”You must forgive my master; he is always so very tired!We have no home to live in anymore, because the demons have taken that from us.”
”The demons have taken much from everyone,” said Grey, thinking of her feathers.
”How did you know that the elder demon was in that mansion?” asked Airow, his eyes narrowing in suspicion.
”My master can feel them.He was talking about how much he hoped you would be willing to let us tag along with you, if we told you where the demons were?I'm afraid we're not very good at fighting though.”
Grey looked at Airow.”It would be nice to be able to know where the demons are.That would make finding and killing them much easier.”
Airow nodded as he thought about it.
”We have to be very careful leaving the city, though,” said Guit, squirming in his seat.
”Why?” asked Grey.
”The angels will come to see why the portal closed.”
”What?But the elder demon is dead!” exclaimed Airow.
”You don't know?” asked Guit.It was clear from the looks they gave each other that Airow and Grey had no clue what he was talking about.
”The elder angels and the elder demons have an agreement.As long as the portals stay open, then the angels won't attack the elder demons, only the weaker demons.The only reason you were able to take out that elder demon was because he was weak after already having been attacked,” explained Guit, pausing in his constant motion to lean forward in his excitement.
”What?” they both exclaimed in horror and disbelief.
”Why would they do that?” cried Grey.
”No way!That would make all of the elder angels of heaven evil!They would all be evil and actually demons!” exclaimed Airow.
”Have you actually ever seen an elder angel?” asked Argen softly, opening his eyes.
They looked at each other.Neither of them had.
”But why?”
