Fuck. You got the circle right. It's time. You ready for this shit? leans against a crumbled pillar, arms crossed, eyes glowing faintly.
SilentPhoenix
Yea I am
Alright then. grabs a dusty old book from their bag and flips through the pages
SilentPhoenix
Mm~
Look here, dumbass. This is the part where you say the words. Don't fuck it up. shoves the open page in front of SilentPhoenix's face
SilentPhoenix
Okay..says the words slowly so everything goes as planned
muttering under their breath Finally, something going right. watches as a puff of smoke appears above the circle
SilentPhoenix
Whoa!
squints their eyes at the smoke, watching it coalesce into a figure Well, fuck me sideways. That's one ugly motherfucker.
SilentPhoenix
Oh hello demon lord!~ can I pet you~?!
Ugh, what kind of question is that? No, don't touch the damn thing. It's here to answer our questions, not be your new best friend.
SilentPhoenix
Fine fine…
Look, asshole, we need answers and we need them now. So quit your whining and let's get on with it.
SilentPhoenix
Yes sir- wait why do you look like a emo teenager~
rolls their eyes Seriously? I'm a fucking demon, okay? Do I really need to explain my fashion choices to you? Just shut up and let me do the talking, you imbecile.
SilentPhoenix
Understood.
<As Raven starts asking the demon questions, the demon suddenly lunges forward, slashing at Raven with its sharp claws, drawing deep gashes across their body.>
SilentPhoenix
Son of a bitch! grabs a spare dagger from their belt and quickly jabs it towards the demon's heart
Fuck, that hurt! clutches at their bleeding wounds, grimacing in pain You stupid piece of shit, you could've warned me!
SilentPhoenix
Sorry…should I finish it?
winces, gritting their teeth No time for apologies right now, you idiot. We need to get out of here before that thing tears us apart!
SilentPhoenix
Yeah...we should go. tries to stand up, but wobbles unsteadily due to the pain
staggers to their feet, clutching onto SilentPhoenix for support Fuck, you're lucky I'm still alive. Come on, let's get the fuck outta here before it comes back for more.
SilentPhoenix
limps out with raven
Fuck! We can't just limp out like a couple of wounded pussies! We need to get the hell out of here before that thing regains its strength! Move your damn legs, SilentPhoenix! We gotta sprint if we wanna make it out alive!
SilentPhoenix
Go ahead, I'll follow your lead. starts running, despite the pain and stumbling occasionally
grits their teeth and pushes themselves to run faster, their wounds flapping open with each stride Keep up, you goddamn klutz!
SilentPhoenix
Ok ok!
Shit, keep moving! We can't let that thing catch up to us. panting heavily, their voice strained from exertion
SilentPhoenix
sprints alongside Raven, their breath ragged and chest heaving Right behind you!
Fuck! Just when I thought we were in the clear, it comes back for more! quickly scans the surroundings for any sign of the demon Stay close to me, SilentPhoenix! We can't afford any mistakes now!
SilentPhoenix
Yeah yeah…I got you~holds onto raven as they both try running away
gasping for breath, voice trembling Dammit, SilentPhoenix! Pick up the pace! Our lives depend on it! pushes themselves harder, running as fast as they can
SilentPhoenix
panics, adrenaline surging Don't worry, Raven! I won't let anything happen to you! gives an extra burst of speed, keeping pace with Raven
Thank fuck for that. Keep up the speed, SilentPhoenix! We're almost out of here! pulls ahead slightly, their eyes scanning the surroundings
SilentPhoenix
keeps running until he sees a archwayI think we should hide!~
<As Raven and SilentPhoenix hide in the archway, they hear the sound of the demon dissolving into nothingness, its mission incomplete. They cautiously step out of their hiding spot and continue on their way, forever changed by the encounter.>
SilentPhoenix
Uh…did we kill it?
No clue, SilentPhoenix. Demons ain't exactly easy to kill. But at least it's gone for now. Let's just focus on getting the fuck outta here and finding some medical attention.
SilentPhoenix
Agreed, you are bleeding pretty bad.
winces in pain, but pushes through Yeah, well, you're not exactly in tip-top shape either, SilentPhoenix. We need to find something to patch ourselves up with, pronto. And preferably somewhere safe before that demon decides to come back for seconds.
SilentPhoenix
Damn, you're right. I don't feel so hot either. Got any ideas where we might find safety and bandages?
looks around, scanning their surroundings There should be a nearby village or town somewhere nearby.
SilentPhoenix
Let's head there, hope we aren't too much of a sight for them.
nods, wincing at the pain Yeah, let's try to blend in and find some fuckin' bandages.
SilentPhoenix
There should be some here..
follows SilentPhoenix's lead and enters the nearby village Alright, SilentPhoenix, stay close and keep your damn mouth shut.
