The pact master[episode1] Man with no memorys

pg6

   “Well, according to one of the diaries, the path to the demon lord will show itself to the one with all six blessings,” Emily says wisely. He rubs the bridge of his nose “all that sounds like too much trouble. I’m not sure if I want to do that,” he says. She nods “not many pact masters chose to go on the quest. Some choose to train the one who wants to go it. The rumor is that past pact master who chosen to train others are at each arena and wait to test those who seek to go after the demon lord,” Emily says, waving out to the outside world.

   “yah, this sounds difficult too, so why do people take it on “because from time to time, the demon lord rages and needs to be calmed; those who are pact masters are the few who can take up the task of finding and calming the demon lord,” she says with awe “this also sounds like it will take a long time and a lot of travel “ she nods “well there is a demon kin who can help you travel faster—“ she says “yeah I know which one it Called the Cheshire cat it’s a rare demon kin that can open a portal to any area they or pact master wants, while they can’t get you inside a city they can get you right to the boundaries of a city, there the only demon kin that doesn’t bother humans even with the rage,” he says

   “yeah, and even finding one is hard, not to mention only two pact masters in history ever had a pact with one I read there picky” Emily “yah not only that they could be anywhere in the world, they have no specific place they like, and they like pretty much any food, it’s a wonder there so picky,” he says his head hurting for a few moments “looks like if I want to be a pack master I’m going to need strong feet, “ he says Emily nods “well other demon kin can speed the travel a little they can move way faster then humans” he nods “Yah I know, but I would feel strange being carried by a demon kin,” Castel says with a mild tone.

“Phis would be happy to carry you,” Pish says “we can take turns carrying him,” Heather says firmly. He sighs “well, that’s enough talk about maybes and what-ifs,” he says. Emily nods “what else should we talk about while we wait for food “who say we got to talk,” Heather says mildly “well, you know we humans are more likely to like talking,” Emily points out, “humans complicated, “ Pish says “I have lived most my life among them though I know a get deal about the ways of humans, I still don’t understand some of what I know,” Heather says with a confused tone.

   “regret not being wild?”Pish asks with concern, “no, I was born to a human, I am ok with humans, but I just don’t understand some of what humans do,” Heather says. “I’m sure your mother will be happy to see you,” he says with a firm belief “my father helped her understand the ways of demon kin, and she is not alone with father; I have two human sisters last I checked.” Heather says absently, like the information was unimportant “will this be your first time seeing your sisters” he asks. Heather nods “this will be the first time they have seen me. But I have smelled them before but have stayed away,” Heather says, “why haven’t you introduced yourself to them at least,” he asks but knowing that the answer was that demon kin was not family-oriented once one was born, they left their parents, or the parents left them. What was the point for them to be with family? They could take care of themselves shortly after birth. Not that there were not probably exceptions. 

   “well, I did not want to hurt my mother by reminding her I left shortly after birth, neither did I want to foster myself into the lives of my sisters. I don’t want them to be concerned with my absence. I don’t want them getting used to my presence and depending on me,” Heather says mildly like she was talking about the weather yesterday “the only reason I see them at all is that you want to meet them,” Heather said as a matter of fact “ok why did you choose this sap as your pact maker he seems too weak to be of interest to you Heather, with that dependence on family” Heather says.

   “the same reason I’m your friend Heather I feel here(points to her chest )I also feel it here(points to her head), and with Castel, I feel the need here(points to her crotch) that should be enough for anyone,” Heather says placing her hand back on the table “some time I think you demon kin rely too much on your Instincts,” Heather says “and I tell you, humans, rely too much on your head,” Heather said as a matter of fact “me to some time it is better to live in the moment, “ Pish says putting in her opinion said she agreed with Heather.

   “the rage is one reason for the pact, but without that reason, us demon kin would steer clear of humans unless called to my our insides,” Heather says knowingly. “I’m sure there would be an exception like a hawk, “ Emily said. Heather nods “he would be rare,” she says. “I wonder what will become of the pact once eternal Peace descends on this world?” he asks “for one I highly no will be anything like eternal peace after al demon kin like to fight too much for that to ever happen,” Emily says with insight “ that may be true but what may happen is demon kin will no be driven to attack humans or PlaGe them anymore. I think fights will be limited to friendly battles,” Castel says firmly.

   “ so all this talk of peace, have you decided to go after the demon lord,” Emily asked, sounding hopeful he shakes his head “no, I am still undecided, “ he says, “but you’re still going to the city of light, right and you’re going to challenge the colosseum right” Emily ask “I figured since I’m going to be there anyway I might as well challenge the Colosseum, “ he says she nods “oh well I heard some strange tails by a passerby like a Demon kin challenging the stadium without a pact master. But I think that was a lie,” Emily said as if doubting her own story.

   “Why would a Demon kin do that alone? That sounds false,” Castel says, looking at Pish and Heather for answers “well, us demon kin love to fight when able, so I would not put it past one of us to challenge those places without a pact maker just for the fun of a good battle” Heather says Pish nods “I agree with her. Fighting fun” Pish “fight fun when the other person also likes to fight,” he says with a calm tone. Pish nods. “I know that now” Pish shakes. Ferris brings a plate of piping hot food. Setting them down silently and leaving, but he does not go far. He stops at a counter and sits down behind it.

   “The food is here. Time to stop talking,” Emily says and then, with enthusiasm, starts to dig into her meal. He joins him; he could taste a mixture of sweat, with a hint of sour, with the tang the accompanied meat. He washed the food down with his beverage. They eat-in silence when they finish; Emily waves over Ferris. When he is at the table,” so what’s the damage, Farris?” Emily asks hesitantly “that would be 6925¥, please,” he said. Emily nods, pulls out her wallet, and reluctantly hands over the cash.

   “well, the meal was great to give my compliments to Hefer. She is just amazing, “ Emily says “she should be she a fire demon kin,” Ferris says, leaving off with the cash in hand. “Well, where to next?” Emily asks, “Might as well come now; Heather, show us to your home” her ears go down, but she gets up, and they follow her out into the town. They come to a house, and Heather knocks on the door; they stand there waiting for a while. A werewolf man answers the door, “what are you doing home, Heather “ he asks, sounding almost quite rude and quite shocked.

   Heather’s ears go down “well, sir, I asked her to bring me here. I wanted to meet my pact mates mother and father,” Castel says. The werewolf man growls a bit “not like it might hurt Tabitha, she already given up on seeing Heather again don’t want to get her hopes up” he nods. “I would not dream of hurting her any more than I can; how about as Heather pact maker, I promise to bring her to visit when we’re close by,” he says. The werewolf’s ears go up then down. He shakes his head “such is not the way of the demon kin, and it is not wise to force one to do what one does not like. It weakens the pact, but I’m okay with you telling Tabitha that you’re here to get her approval, and that’s it; this a common thing among werewolves, “the werewolf says with a low tone, saying he did not like even that. “Whatever will be easier, “ Castel says “well, come in; Tabitha has to stay off her fear for a while because she is pregnant, “Heather’s father says with a bit of caution.

   “Pardon the intrusion,” he says. They followed Heather’s father to a room, and a lovely woman of an indeterminate age sat on a chair holding her swelling stomach. It was planned that she was very far along in her pregnancy “honey, who was that—“ the woman says, then looks up from what she was doing, she stands up and runs to Heather “bless the makers, you returned,” Tabitha says hugging Heather, Heather, however, pushes the woman gently away “I am not here for you mother, though it is good to see you in good health” Tabitha winces and sits back down “I swear this child is a demon kin it has the same feel as when I was pregnant with you” Tabitha says rubbing her mound.
