The fated day is near

We were walking on a small road in one of the demon's country forest, the tree were quite normal looking this time well except for the fact that the leaves were round and red colored but at least the tree itself wasn't pitch black or it didn't tried to eat us if we touched it. Believe me the Guarmille kingdom has some like that, whenever one appeared in my garden I would just burn it to a crisp while cursing its all bloodline ... or is it called sapline for a tree ? Am I really wondering about this ? Oh well, who cares ? Not me.

I find traveling with the people I am with, quite pleasant. Kirego and Monti don't speak much but that isn't a problem since they are good company, Memurien sometimes sexually harrass Lara so my hand tend to slip on his face quite often. Lara is Lara, she tease me at every opportunity she manage to catch but in the end she's the loser in bed. We must look like quite the odd party from affar, since we are in disguise we are a bunch of tall red skinned and horned warrior but I do believe it makes us more intimidating that we previously were.

|Hey did you know that most of the monsters in the demon's country don't attack demons.|(Memurien)

|Isn't it because demons are monsters themselves ?|(Kirego)

|Nah, they are of the races, they haven't a magic core like monsters have. I think t'was because of one of their Queen who built an device ta tame every monster who enter tha country, of course it doesn't work with overly powerful monsters but I think t'was because of that.|(Apocalypse)

In demon socety it was the woman who led the state, and the household. Not that it bother me since I was quite found of of the Amazon legends back on Earth, for me it is like by not expecting something of a certain someone if he somehow manage to do it then you respect him even more and thus you can change your vision of the world. It is stupid but I believe that there must be discrimination to respect the one that is aimed at with that discrimination ... you wouldn't have respected Martin Luther King if segregation hadn't existed. And now I sound like a dick to everyone of you ...... what do I say ..... I still loves demons because their hair are soft and smooth.

And I got a smack in the back of the head.

|Stop with your stupid inner monologue and keep walking.|(Lara)

|Yeah yeah, sorry.|(Apocalypse)

Well anyway, the difference between a monster and one of the races is the fact that monsters have a magic core instead of a heart. Dragons have a magic core but that's because they are creature of magic, while the Vermillion have a heart, I know I used Ki to make sure of it on both me and Imperion. Though I do have the suspicion that my heart crystallize when I take my dragon-like form. Kirego made sign to stop with his hand and so we did.

|There is someone ahead of us.|(Kirego)

|I still can't understand how ya manage ta see with yar eyes closed.|(Apocalyse)

|A samurai must be able to sense his ennemies even with his eyes closed.|(Kirego)

|Fucking weebo.|(Apocalypse)

A little farther away from us I saw a demon woman, most certainly a simple villager. With my enhanced eyesight I could see that she has deep red skin and two ram horns at the side of her head, long silver head and silver eyes. She must be 2 meters tall, for a demon it is rather small I think since the taller one are about 2 meters and 75 centemeters tall .... To tell the truth only Lara and Monti are smallest that the bigger one now, I am nearing the three meters tall and I've got the feeling that I'll be even taller .... I'll seriously have to renovate the mansion's door.

The woman was holding a basket full of flower and was walking in our direction, we did not know from or to where she was going since we just found this road after a walk in the forest and radomly picked to go left instead of right.

|She's just a villager nothing ta fear, rather we could ask for her help since we are lost.|(Apocalypse)

|Not a bad idea, see, you can still use that thing between your ears.|(Lara)

|And I seriously hope that ya'll get better at using that thing between yar legs.|(Apocalypse)

|I've got nothing between my legs.|(Lara)

|Then learn how ta use this nothing.|(Apocalypse)

|I could help with that.|(Memurien)

If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

|Shut up ya A.I.D.S making walking factory !|(Apocalypse)

Such an exchange had become the usual for us. Since a civilian was approaching I didn't punched him but my rebuke hurted him quite a bit. Well someone who likes to fuck every woman he meet would suffer quite a bit if they all refused because he has A.I.D.S. I still slapped the back of his head before the woman was too close. When she passed next to us Kirego stopped her.

|Sorry young miss but could you tell us where are we ? You see me and my group of friend got lost and we would like to get to the nearest village before the night fall. We are quite tired of sleeping outside you see.|(Kirego)

She looked at Kirego then at us, we waved a little and I had to slap Memurien in the back of the head again because he wanted to flirt with her, this idiot if the fact that we weren't demons got out we would be in deep shit, if they managed to seal a Vermillion then I am sure they can do so again.

|Then you are heading in the wrong direction, if you continue to go in this direction then the next village is ten hours away, but if you follow me then in five hours we will be in my village.|(Woman)

|Well thank ya, I guess we should introduce ourselves since we are going ta travel a bit together. Tha name's Apocalypse.|(Apocalypse)

|Lara.|(Lara)

|Memurien.|(Memurien)

|Kirego.|(Kirego)

|Monti.|(Monti)

There is no use in faking our name since a simple lie detection magic stone would show that it isn't a real one, I am not skilled at mind magic and I don't want to take the risk. There is also the fact that the demon's country is a rather closed country on both side, nobody is supposed to enter and nobody is supposed to leave. In a way it is to protect them, humans wuld only want to kill them since they do not worship the dragon goddess and the ones worshipping the Tytan of earth are the sames.

On a lighter note, I still don't know why Lara decided to keep the name she had back on Earth. Maybe it was because she felt it was an easier one to remember than her Vermillion one. Honestly I don't knw why I changed my name to Apocalypse, it was like something in my head pushed me to, like a long buried memory .... wait a minute, were you guys related to that ?

"In a way, although not that much since others also changed their name. We just gave you a little push to change it right away."

#If on top of forgetting the great me you had forgot your true name I would've been mad.#

~As long as I can hear their delicious screams I don't care.~

Okay the last one was disturbing. I guess our name works a little like the name of a named monster, we can't forget it since it is ingraved onto our very soul. But anyway, the woman introduced herself as Remira. If she was human I'd say she is in her early twenties but you never know with those long lived species. e were walking calmly while chatting about this and that .... until this idiot of a Vermillion, Memurien, asked her.

|By the way, I heard that a powerful human had been jailled recently do you happen to know about it ?|(Memurien)

|I am rather surprised that YOU don't know about it. Some people even says that she was a monster, apparantly she destroyed a part of the Queen's castle and then pretended that she didn't wanted to do that. Humans really are bad liar.|(Woman)

*Punch ... brwwwwwwaaaaaaaaahhhhhh*

That was the sound of a tree exploding after I punched it out of anger, what this woman just said just pissed me off, as much as I think discrimination is needed to respect someone hearing the said discrimination just piss me off.  The only difference between a demon and a human is their appearance, their mind are alike like all of those of the races except maybe the Elves, nobody ever see them to confirm that but I am quite sure immortality tend to fuck with the way you see the world.

When I lifted my head I saw that everybody was looking at me with big round and dead eyes except for Lara who was glaring at me and Monti who sighed. I realized what I had done and gave a dry laugh while scratching the back of my head that will get smacked by Lara's hand quite soon.

|Ha ha ha sorry, it's just that speaking of humans tend ta make me angry ha ha ha.|(Apocalypse)

|Well that's what happen when your mother is an ogre.|(Memurien)

And like that Memurien's face met the ground and the both of them became friends. The woman was giggling while saying in the line of 'I see that explains the strengh.'. Don't you dare agree with what that idiot said, even though I've never met her I am convinced my mother is a beautiful reffined woman and not a 3 meters tall bulky monster of the goblinoid family. Well anyway we arrived to the village and went to the only inn the village had and turns out the woman was the owner's daughter.

Well we had a small problem and that is money, we don't have the demon's currency on us so we had to trade some of our equipements ... I gave them an enchanted sword that we had brought as a spair weapon in case one of us lost ours but it is not like e really needed it. I told them it belonged to a duke in a human kingdom and that's true since it was mine.

We took a room with enough bed to let all of us sleep in the same room. There was one with eight bed so we took it and we told the innkeeper that we had already eaten and not to let anyone enter except us. We entered it and closed the door before locking it, once we had done that we got rid of the disguise and ate a bit of our provision before speaking to each other.

|So what do we do ?|(Memurien)

|We go ta tha capital and sneak inside the dungeon ta free tha 'human' jailed there, then we run as fast as we can. I ain't missing my daughter birthday.|(Apocalypse)

|We we'll need to get a hold on some of this kingdom currency, so we should think on selling more of our useless items, the remaining money we have from the sword will help too.|(Kirego)

|I doupt that we can just blast through the front door right ?|(Lara)

|Though I do love tha idea if we did that tha demons wouldn't stay silent and I don't really want them ta go ta war with a random human country.|(Apocalypse)

Suddenly Monti transformed into fog and went behind the door and unlocked it, the door opened and Monti and the demon woman from earlier entered. Monti closed the door and I hurried in putting my hand on her mouth.

|It seems someone was spying on us ..... what do we do with her ?|(Apocalypse)

|The right thing to do would be to kill her but .... if she comes with us it would be easier to blend in.|(Kirego)
