Healing from darkness

Starting to heal

A forest, a couple miles away from the prison is where the monsters go. Rackgul collapses on the ground the rest follow suit, prison is definitely worse than hell Rackgul states. That was definitely exhausting, I’m just glad we lived Lilith says. Let’s not pat ourselves on the back yet, we have to not just survive but thrive in this forest the slime says. Lilith you forage for some berries, Rackgul you kill beasts for some meat, the skeleton will get some clean water, I’ll scout the area and the changeling will make us shelter the slime states to the group. Rackgul gets up from the ground and gets going, Lillith scurries after Rackgul. What do you want kid Rackgul asks to Lillith slightly annoyed. I just feeler..safer around you, while I forage around you can semi-protect me Lilith says. Let me get this straight I’m expected to hunt while I have to babysit Rackgul asks. Yes..I mean..no, if you want to you can Lillith says disappointed. That sounds fantastic, I like having a challenge Rackgul says gleefully. Lillith lets out a sigh of relief but she’s disappointed deep down, knowing that’s not the reason she wanted him to have. Rackgul sees a deer with a wing, the demon pull out his axe and rushes at the deer. The deer begins flying away, so does Rackgul then the demon grabs the deers leg. Rackgul slams the deer down on the dirt, Rackgul slashes the deer’s neck with his neck. Do you have something that works as a bag Rackgul asks blood covered by the deer. Um.. I can use some of my magic energy to carry our food Lillith says a bit scared of seeing that. Great, I’ll carry it for now but i probably should delimb this deer he says unaware of Lillith’s mental state, forgetting she still just a little girl. Rackgul starts to cutoff all the deers limbs and head with his axe. Scarring Lillith further, Rackgul picks up the deer’s body with no limbs. Rackgul goes deeper in the forest and is hesitantly followed by Lillith after picking up some berries, this time the demon spots a werewolf eating a unicorn. Rackgul drops the deer’s carcass and rushes towards the werewolf slashing at it repeatedly, the werewolf dodges all the slashes thrown his way by the demon. The werewolf heavily slashes Rackgul but the demon grits his teeth and delivers a hard head butt. The werewolf howls in pain and falls back, Rackgul rushes towards the werewolf. The demon doesn’t give the werewolf a chance to brief as Rackgul cuts off the Werewolf’s arm, the werewolf howls in pain and then bites down on Rackgul’s neck. Rackgul wraps his legs around werewolves and falls on him, making the werewolf break his bite. Rackgul bangs his head on the werewolves repeatedly until the werewolf’s head caves in, the demon gets up after the fight. That could’ve gone smoother, right Lilith..right Rackgul looks back seeing Lillith is gone. Rackgul walk up now worried, looking closer Lillith dropped her berries. Rackgul looks around the immediate era, the demon notices the berries make a line. Rackgul follows the line to a cave running in but gets stopped by a gun to Lillith’s head. The perpetrator is a living corpse dressed in full pilgrim attire, stay the f**k back the pilgrim yells at Rackgul. Who are you and what do you want Rackgul asks scared for Lilith. I’m one of the pride demon lord’s soldiers and I want prove I’m better than she thinks she is says the soilder. How we killing a random child, help your standing with you leader Rackgul asks with confusion and frustration. Not her stupid, I want to hurt you the living corpse says. I know you’re not very observant but your farther was very closer to my lord, so if I ruin the runaway I’ll probably get some brownie points the pilgrim say smugly. Rackgul begins laughing intensely, god and they say I’m stupid Rackgul states. You think my the farther gives a s**t about me anymore, even when I was there I was one of his over 100 children the demon says still laughing. You think this is a joke, the pilgrim goes to pull the trigger the Rackgul rushes him. Lillith opens her book and elephant appears out thin ear. This makes the pilgrim hesitate out of confusion, letting Rackgul kick the pilgrim from Lillith. Prepare yourself Lillith Rackgul, looks down at Lillith seeing her visibly scared and shaken up from being held at gun point. Rackgul looks between the soilder and the elephant holding him back, the demon shakes his head and grabs Lillith then runs away. What are you doing Lillith asks with a mix of confusion and fear. I don’t normally run away but you have to pick and choose your battles.

Rackgul runs toward base camp, seeing the slime. Oh your back, where the food the slime asks. The demon lets Lillith down gently then speaks to the slime. Theres an enemy here, he is working for the leader of the pride ring. The slime immediately stops what he’s doing and goes to Rackgul.
