11 - Demons

Zarco slept tightly in a simple bed, he was clearly uncomfortable, not used to rest on such a cheap bed.

With the discomfort dragging him back to reality, Zarco starts to wake up, upon seeing the unusual celling he questions.

-Where... Where am I?

He then hears a female voice speaking in an excited tone.

-You finally woke up!

Still a little drowsy, Zarco tries to look to the side trying to track the source of that voice.

Zarco is then surprised by the sight of a muscular arm.

-Huh?!

He sees a muscular young woman staring at him kindly while speaking.

- Calm down, you're safe.

Before she says anything else, the assassin that saved Zarco starts speaking while he leans on the door

-If it wasn't for the work I had saving you, I could have killed more angels...

She then says in an irritated tone.

-What have we already talked about this story of killing angels?!

Assassin

-That it's not nice to risk myself just to go kill that filthy scum...

This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

Woman

-So you go and do what?!

Assassin

-I go there alone to kill the filthy scum...

Woman

-Honestly, you're hopeless! First you started attacking entire patrols by yourself and now you're invading the capital at the risk of one of our only pegasus!

Assassin

-It was the first time, I just did it once, so what's the problem?!

The assassin then speaks while making air quotes.

-And if I hadn't done that, you wouldn't have this precious patient of yours for you to spend hours on end "saving" his life.

Zarco

-Wait, what she did to me?

Assassin

-She treated your wounds and stuff.

Zarco

-How is that not saving my life?

Assassin

-Hey, I never said that she didn't.

Zarco

-But you implied.

Assassin

-I just think that it was a waste of her time, I am sure if we left you long enough on the bed the bleeding would stop, eventually.

Zarco just stares at him, not believing what he had just heard

Woman

-He was almost dying when you brought him here, I couldn't just leave him there, and what are the air quotes for? Did you get jealous?

Assassin

-Yes! This worm was supposed to be dead!

Woman

-Hey! It's okay to hate angels, but not one of ours! Do you understand Morie?

Zarco starts laughing

-Morie...

"Morie" stares at him with hate in his eyes

-For you it's Morietur Sanguine.

Zarco

-Wow, calm down Morie.

Morietur steps forward to drive the blade attached to his wrist into Zarco's face.

The woman takes a firm hold of Morietur's arm and stares at him with a frightening look.

Morietur

-Let me go, I'll kill him!

She lands a punch in the pit of Morietur's stomach.

Morietur lies on the floor with his hand on his stomach, moaning in pain.

The woman then turns to Zarco with a sweet smile and says.

-Sorry, sometimes Morie gets a little carried away.

Zarco

-Yeah... "a little".

Zarco starts looking at his surroundings and questions

-Now, just out of pure curiosity, where the hell am I?

Woman

-On the ground of the lower island, within the territory of our colony.

Morietur

-In a barracks bed, wounded, incapacitated, and with no hope of escape.

Zarco

-Ok, I think I got it… and who are you?

Woman

-Members of the empire's colonizing mission, coming to populate this island and bring resources to our empire.

Morietur

-The imperial army that came to take these lands and exterminate the scum that inhabits it.

The two talk together

-We are the demons!

Zarco looks at them confused.

-What?
