24. Hellish dragon

"We are here master!" was the first thing I heard when I woke up. 

After being carried to the circle I fainted. 

I don't know if it was because of demon magic or stress. Not every day you are teleported to hell. 

"I see..." I replied and looked around. 

Lava, everywhere lava. Hot, scary lava! 

We were sitting on some small island made of rock I have never seen. It was dark and you could feel powerful magic coming from it. 

Of course, there was no sky in there, only rocks above and below us. 

"Can you please tell me, what were you thinking?" I asked her calmly. It was better not to get angry. I wouldn't want to say anything stupid in a place like this. 

It's not the most safe location you can think of. 

"I wanted to show you my home! Isn't it great?" 

It's not. 

"I appreciate your effort, but you see. How can I tell you this... I like being alive!" I shouted and she looked at me confused. 

"Oh, don't worry master! Demons are nice!" Vyliana replied.

 You really are an idiot.  Demons are nice? Maybe to you! 

"Come! We will meet my friend!" she said and grabbed me. She was carrying me like some princess. After that she opened her wings. Demonic wings. They were big, and appeared out of nowhere. 

Demons sure are scary. 

Then we started flying, and we were doing it really fast. I could see some demons below me. The didn't look like Vyliana at all. They were scary.

Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

"Y-You think this is good idea?" I asked and she smilled. 

"Don't worry master! Everything is fine!" 

There was only one thing I could do. Pray that she wasn't lying. 

After few minutes of flying we aprroached another small island. It was made of the same rock material, and from there you could see some kind of castle in the distance. 

"What is that!?" I asked.

"It's a castle of king of demons, but don't worry about it. It's not like we need a castle in a place like this. It just seems that he likes human's culture too much." 

This is weird. He likes human's culture? What is he even thinking? Is he some kind of idiot?

As I was thinking about those things, from the pool of lava a demon appeared. He was big, scary and looked powerful. But for some reason he looked like a dragon. 

"Oh, Vyliana! You came back!" he said when he looked at her. 

"Yeah! I'm back! Look who's with me!" she replied and pointed at me. 

Is this that moment? That moment when I'm sacrificed to a powerful demon? Is this my end? 

"Oh! Your dream came true? You were summoned by someone young?" he said this nice words with a scary voice.

What? 

"Yeah! How are you?" Vyliana said and this dragon-like creatur smiled. 

Is this normal for demons? Do they speak like this every day? Is this normal in their culture? 

"I'm good! After you helped me I'm not bullied anymore!" 

Bullied? What is he talking about? 

"Don't mention it. I don't like demons that are not nice." Vyliana said and blushed. 

Not nice? Are you even a demon?

"Anyway, why are you here? Do you need my help?" he asked her. 

Well, you can't just tell him that you need his heart, right? No matter how strange demons are, you can't just do things like this. 

"I need your heart!" 

I could have expected this. 

"Oh, it's not a problem. Just give me some time so I can prepare." this dragon-like creature said.

What? You are going to give her your heart? What are you thinking? Are you stupid? 

"This is weird!" I finally gave up and shouted. 

Eat me if you want. You are all stupid, and I don't care anymore! 

"Don't worry little girl. I have many hearts, but I appreciate your concern." he said and smiled at me. 

"This is not the cas... What? You have many hearts?!"

This is weird. Dragons have one heart. I mean, they died years ago, but I'm sure that they do. He looks like a dragon, but is he just a normal demon?

"I was made from remainings of dragons from the surface. That's why I have more than one heart." he replied.

Made? Who could do something like this? 

"Who made you?" I asked and he looked at the castle. 

"Demon king. He says that dragons are cool."
