Meanwhile deep In the valley the breeds who had retreated made their way back to the castle and prepared themselves for a good ear lashing for not killing the chosen when they had the chance.
Allocer stood next to a doorway that had only one door open (of the two present in the architecture of the building). He stood tall and glaring at the few creatures that made their way back in the disgraceful form that they did. A black venomous snake hung wrapped around the majority of his body with its tail rattling from his ankle to its head resting on his shoulder. He stepped forward before this band of spineless demon and extended a hand that halt their progress any further.
“And what do you cretins think you are doing?” He asked in his deep, smoky like, but terrifying demonic voice.
Berina stepped forward "Im sorry we failed the shadows got to the chosen before we had a chance and speaking of the chosen you told us that they would be weak yet that girl Bailey Is further from It from what I saw "
She then stepped back
"You must have me confused for a demon who accepts excuses," the snake hissed in seeming agreement to the sarcasticness of the statement. Allocer looked to see if any of the other lower ranks dared to have the audacity to approach him as Berina did. None did and Allocer was left the floor to berate the demons some more.
"Tell, if these beings are so powerful, why bother keeping you pathetic filth around? It seems a waste to send weak demons that requires the efforts of clearly more competent ones," he petted the head of his snake that rubbed back in equal content. "I am not a merciful demon, so when I order you 'not to return until you've redeemed yourself', I do not act in any hint of compassion. If they are as strong as you say they are, then you'll die. If you're wrong, then you learn not to underestimate yourself and you get to live by your own efforts. But if you ever think to come back here again in shameful retreat," every word of the last sentence was emphasized with each step he took descending towards the group. With the utterance of the word retreat he grabbed the head of one of the lesser demons and began to squeeze as he lifted the squirming body. With the utmost patience and accuracy the snake struck at the neck of the squirming body, where the mouth was able to yell a scream so horrifying and sickening, that some of the demons squirmed at the noise. Allocer dropped the body and with the thud, looked at Berina, “and you will suffer a fate worse then his.”
Allocer turned and began to ascend the steps, “gather your things and ready yourselves. You will leave with me immediately. We will see how strong this Bailey really is.” He slammed the door shut which resounded with a thud that echoed in the ears of he previous audience. In moments both doors swung open and Allocer strode out dragging his sword behind him that sparked with every contact against the ground. He was wearing his seal around his neck (which granted him passage in and out of Hell).
“Are you ready?” The question, though rhetorical, was asked regardless as a means to establish order and precedence. Obviously, whether the demons were ready or not, Allocer was going to drag each and every single last one of them to meet their defeaters.
"wait we can't get in the Shadow Realm or have you forgotten we have more pressing matters like our God and these humans who need our attention" pointing at them who were in cages " we know the chosen am going to be coming to the valley once their ready let them come to us and were be ready "
Berina then waited for his reply
Armageddon twirled his axe.The others would be punished,be he would not be,as Allocer would not dare harm him in case he lost the allegiance of the Dark Elves,which he controlled.
The carriage pulled up at the entrance to the palace,Gaius opened the door and climbed down from It and waited for the rest of the chosen to get out of the carriage also.
Allocer grumbled at the thought. We shouldn't allow the shadows to humiliate us like that, hissed a faceless voice in his mind, you are Allocer! Prize of Bala! Think of what he would say?! Before he could answer his own question, a booming voice of demonic gravity overtook the scene.
Remember your purpose Allocer, you are mine and the powers I gave to you are for the revivification of our one true master. In time you will have the opportunity to redeem our name, but until then, listen to the girl. She will be, for now, an instrument of our lord's will. Allocer submitted to the greater voices reason and looked towards Berina. "The ones you faced before. Enlighten me of their tactics, skills, abilities and weapons. Everything that you can recall, let it be known unto me. We will then take the precautions of riding them of their useless existence once and for all. And this time, there will be no retreat."
Berina looked at Allocer for a while before she answered him "very well the chosen seem like they not long have received their powers, They are not that strong yet except the one called Bailey she seems to be more stronger and adapted she bears the mark of the scrythe, they had no weapons from what I could see Gaius intercepted and took them to the Shadow Realm Im guessing he Is going to train them but the good news Is when there ready they will come here and when that happens we will be waiting "
Allocer grew frustrated at the predicament. Had he been there, they would have for sure been eradicated. Bailey, although carrying the power of the scythe, would have lasted longer, but too would have eventually fallen. Now they are residing in the only safe haven where Allocer's demonic legions can not reach. "We will need to draw them out, prematurely, before they have time to finish their training." Allocer began to think, wondering if their were anyway he would be able to go, even for a moment to the surface. Yet every thought that came to mind, seemed to be thwarted but some obvious detail. Unless...
"You all, go into the castle and find the leading officer in charge," he said pointing to the other demons, "tell them Allocer demands this region ready for battle, but to not unleash the creatures. If you see find any Yuabas of my kind, tell them to prepare 'the circle' upon my return. they will know of what I speak. As for you," he said addressing Berina, "come with me. There is a something I require of your assistance in. Hurry, there is no time to waste." He turned and began to walk down a second flight of narrow stairs that wrapped along the lower side of the wall, and seemed to descend to an unknown part of the castle.
Evan walked behind Bailey. "so what do you make of all this" He said in a low voice. Evan right now didnt trust anyone but Bailey. This was happening fast. A little to fast for him.
Gaius led them into the Grand Entrance Hall and turned around to them with a smile "Right your free to go explore and please do go get something to eat as well you must all be hungry I shall explain everything later "
