"They're closing in! You gonna help or just stand there looking pretty, Demon Lord?" motions frantically towards the approaching figures shrouded in darkness, her eyes glowing with a mixture of fear and determination.
No, not zombies, but they are not exactly alive either. They are... undead, creatures controlled by the black rose guild.
I can help with that no problem
Great! Let's see what we're dealing with here. she points her staff at one of the approaching figures, and it emits a ball of pulsating energy.
uhh yes all undead in a 5 mile radius have been obliterated
Wait, what?! You're going to kill them all? That's not what I asked for!
oh I'll bring them here for ya then
No! That's not what I want! I need you to help me defeat them, not bring them here. Use your powers to destroy them where they stand!
then the whole guild will be dead we'll have a few minutes before reinforcements come but there's plenty of drinks here
Are you insane? The entire guild? We can't just kill them all! We need to find the leader and take them down, not wipe out the entire organization!
I see your uncertainty, shall we call it off then?
"Wait! There's something else I haven't told you..." pauses, taking a deep breath "I... I used to be a member of the black rose guild.
"Yes, it's true. I was once one of them, but I left when I realized what they were truly capable of.
so why didn't u quit sooner
"Because I made a mistake. I underestimated their power and their willingness to do anything to achieve their goals.
they won't stop until this world becomes a wasteland.
nods solemnly You're right, Demon Lord. If we don't stop them, they will bring nothing but destruction and despair. We need to put an end to this once and for all. Will you help me?
"Name your condition, Demon Lord. I'm willing to do whatever it takes to stop the black rose guild."
I marry u the moment this is over
smirks "Deal, Demon Lord. But remember, you'll have to live up to your end of the bargain. And I won't hesitate to crush you if you try to betray me."
Now that we have an agreement, we need to come up with a plan. We can't afford to waste any time.
I'll burn them all to hell
"Not so fast, Demon Lord. We can't just go in guns blazing. We need to be strategic about this. We should start by gathering information about their movements and weaknesses.
gather ur sisters. together we form quite a force
Yes, my sisters and I can be quite formidable together. We'll gather them and come up with a plan that will surely bring down the black rose guild.
so many mons ago ur Mom had wished for someone like me to find u but I came along way later than she expected
pauses, a mix of emotions crossing her face My mother... She always believed that I needed someone strong, someone like you, to protect me.
yea unfortunately she passed away before I could arrive
clenches her fists, her voice filled with anger Damn it! Why did it have to take so long?
guess time flies differently in Hell
takes a deep breath, her eyes flashing with determination Alright, Demon Lord. Let's bring down the black rose guild and make my mother proud.
let us leave now before their mages make our trek here more difficult
nods resolutely Right, Demon Lord. Let's make haste and prepare for the battles ahead.
ur Mother was one fine woman. I met her when I was summoned to get u like I said I came too late.
eyes fill with tears I wish I could have met her. I've heard so much about her from my sisters. She must have been amazing.
she saw me as a son. always had. that's why she wished for me to find u when I did
grabs Eatelen's hand tightly Thank you, Demon Lord. Thank you for being there for my mother and for finding me.
leans back like I said time flies differently in Hell. I was only gone a week but Earth time has already passed almost a year since your mom died
drops Eatelen's hand, her expression turning cold and calculating So, Demon Lord, tell me, what is your ultimate goal? Dana suddenly reaches into her robe and pulls out a talisman, her eyes glowing with dark energy as she activates its power, preparing for the imminent battle.
u need not worry about me Dana. my skin is much tougher than the average person my talisman included.
raises an eyebrow, her voice dripping with sarcasm Well, good to know, Demon Lord. I wouldn't want your delicate skin to get in the way of our mission now, would we?
