Eldric: taps fingers thoughtfully What do you think the demon king really wants? Peace or chaos?
I mean he did just try to kill us… I deadpan
laughs True, true. But consider this: sometimes the path to peace is paved with chaos.
looks at you curiously What's your gut feeling?
well he did save me from my fate so I think peace
Eldric nods in agreement. "You have a point there," he says thoughtfully.
"But we can't overlook the fact that he's still a demon king. His kind is known for chaos and destruction."
I honestly don’t know but we need to get out of here I pick up the sword and put it on my back
Eldric glances at the sword you've just picked up. "Where did you get that?" he asks curiously.
I don’t know man shrugs all this destruction though
Eldric's eyes narrow as he glances around at the ruined fortress. taps fingers thoughtfully
All this destruction... It doesn't quite add up. Why would a demon king who wants chaos create such devastation?
I think he just wants someone who will listen to him someone who will give him some respect
nods I think you might be right. He's been alone for so long, and now that he's out of his prison, he probably just wants someone to talk to. Someone who will respect him for more than just his power.
I think he just wants people to stop messing with him
smirks Well, can you blame him? He's been through a lot. But do you think he'd be willing to just sit back and let humans live in peace if they continue to bother him?
I honestly don’t know but I’m sure we’ll find out soon enough his left eye is a star and his right eye is a sickle and hammer
Eldric looks at you, intrigued by your eyes. He tilts his head and says curiously,
That's an interesting pair of eyes you've got there. A star and a hammer... It's like the universe is in your gaze.
He chuckles softly, amused by the observation.
I think he wants peace now that he’s free
thinks
That's a good point. He was trapped for so long, maybe he just wants to live in peace now that he's free. But you know demons... they're unpredictable.
the boy thinks idk I guess peace?
Eldric looks at you, surprised. "Peace? That's a bold assumption to make about someone who's supposed to bring destruction and chaos."
I don’t know why would he tell me that I’m his only hope then just kill me
Eldric's eyebrows furrow in confusion at your words. He leans back against the crumbling wall, his fingers still tapping against the stone.
"Kill you? Why would he want to kill you?"
I think peace but at a price
raises an eyebrow What price?
shrugs nonchalantly I’m not sure, why did you save him?
laughs lightly Well, it wasn't exactly planned. He was trapped under a pile of rubble, and I just happened to be there. It would have been rather rude not to help him out, don't you think?
I’m not sure why would he thank me for saving him
taps fingers thoughtfully Well, it’s not every day a human saves a demon king from the brink of death... perhaps he is grateful for his life being spared? Or maybe there's more to his intentions than meets the eye…
I mean he was about to kill me before you showed up
Eldric scoffs, a hint of irritation in his voice Yes, he was about to kill you before I saved your life. But that doesn't necessarily mean he wants chaos. He could have simply been defending himself or following some other motive.
