"But first of all there is something we must discuss"

I stand and slowly start making my way to the window, When I peek out I realize it's only two stories high.I can make it.

"I have been suddenly taken from my life back home and asked to be a hero. Do you know what heros are? Either the brave or the Fools and most of the time it is the latter! Do I give off the self-sacrificial attitude? Dear god, I hope not! I have only one life and I refuse to spend it saving others "

We make eye contact

" So, in short my dear Demon Lord, this is goodbye."

Kicking off the ground I leap through the window eventually landing in a crouched position. Location, Garden.

I jog briskly down the stone pathway making right at the end of the building. Do I really think I can escape her? No. But it's not escaping, it's the principal. What kind of man would I be If I just roll over and accept defeat when an overwhelming force basically asks you to sacrifice yourself? A Sane one? nonsense ! Surely going insane in this type of situation is an act of mercy, shame the man who in his callousness chose to remain sane!

Suddenly a Hippo guard comes into view, His large frame covering the entire path. I may have been shocked at first but you're an intelligent being, all the same.

"What are you doing here?"[ HippoGuard]

"What are YOU doing here?"

" uh- well gee I wasn't expecting that... I suppose I'm doing my job " [HippoGuard]

" are you? because from my perspective you are standing around talking! Is that in your job description son ?! speak up! "

The Hippo starts Panicking

" No sir no! " [ HippoGuard]

" Do you love U.D.A, son?! "

"Sir yes sir ! "[ HippoGuard]

Good ! Now Guide me to the barracks! the empty ones ! I Don't want Soldiers interrupting my beauty sleep ! "

" er-But you look human sir..I'm pretty sure I read somewhere we are at war with humans....sir" [HippoGuard]

"You making fun of me ?! My parents, and my grandparents and fought and died for this land ! To protect this beautiful city for people like you, and you dare question MY heritage?! My Blood !? I'm 100% Demon, now do you have any more stupid questions son?!"

"that does make sense...Sorry for doubting you, sir ! Please allow me to guide you, Sir ! "[HippoGuard]

"Lead the way !"

We walk through a series of corridors, Coincidentally my Hippo friend likes walking through the corridors with the least amounts of People. This is almost suspiciously easy.

"So, in short my dear DemonLord, this is goodbye."

He jumped.

one minute passes..

He actually escaped!

"GAHHHH" I roll around the ground while grabbing my head

"THIS WASN'T SUPPOSE TO HAPPEN "

I take out the flashcards the outlined my plan

" It should have been the introduction and general information about the state of things and me asking him to be the hero. He should have been speechless and not know what to say in which I would have convinced him with my trump card ! But he jumped ! why would he jump ! wait, wait. I can still catch him ! he's in the palace, there is no way he can go unnoticed ! "

I rush out of the room

" And here we are, This is an empty Barrack I hope you enjoy your sleep, sir ." [HippoGuard]

" Good work ! Now continue doing what you are paid to do "

"Any high ranking officer or any demon in the military would have an idea of what I do. By using vague orders and having the appearance of a human your awfully suscpious. Should I repo-what was I talking about?"[HippoGuard]

A large trial of drool can be seen coming out of his mouth and is collecting under his chin

"......You were talking about how you love bubbles."

" *Giggle* I do love bubbles.."[HippoGuard]

And just like that, The hippo guard wandered off. Goodbye you stupid, kind beast.

Opening the door revealed a large room with rows of bunk beds on each side. In front of the bunk beds were small chests in which I can only assume are their belongings, at the end of the room there is a hallway with an entrance. In the room within the room was a large space with clothes hanging. Specifically, it was their signature armor and the black tights they wore. The armor itself was full body, it was the color black with yellow trimming and weird swirling designs.

Suddenly I hear the door open so I instinctively hide against the wall of the entrance and peak

It's the DemonLord.
