Chapter 23: Salutations
"Guh!"
Amidst the eerie sorroundings of dead trees and the undeciphered darkness, coldness seeped through the young boy's skin.
"Where is this?"
Shivering and confused, the boy looked for his bearings as he stood up and patted his clothes.
"Cursed"
A whisper voice out to his ear.
"Hmmm?"
Pleron stiffened his muscles and focused his senses.
"Thou art, cursed"
Soon came an eye that peered through the fog of darkness, it's clear and dark pupils stared through the boy's soul.
"Do you mean the Gods' anger?"
The clear voice depicted Pleron's calmness to the situation.
"Indeed indeed"
Excited, the eyes soon stepped inside the boy's vision in order to be clearly seen.
"Kukuk"
Standing eight feet tall, red flesh steaming and a long curved horned head masked with the visage of anger that betrayed the smile etched to his scarred long mouth, the monster's back had a bat's wing that was inverted.
"Aeshma is thine name"
Seeing the demon's appearance Pleron took a step forward as he slowly put on a smile.
"Thy scarred mind had incapacitated thy fear"
"Admirably done"
Stopping his tracks, the boy stood up straightly the same with his gaze fix to the demon's.
"Aeshma?"
"Why's a demon on earth doing in this fantasy world?"
The skeptical boy now slowly walking forward, the heat from the demon's flesh boiling his skin.
"Demon?, thy religion from thy past must have bruit thyself that thine is a great God!"
With its masked smile being twisted to anger, the Daeva stomped his feet, causing the ground to crack and shake.
"Thine incardine flesh burns, it is thine greatest fardel of burden and a curse brought by thineself"
The outburst had caused the Daeva to turn its flesh to turn even to a reddish hue, causing great pain to itself, but after a while it cooled down, like a coal.
"Enough! what do you want?"
Pleron who has had enough of the demon's irritating archaic words and outburst made the boy to blurt out.
"Thine had made thineself look like a fool"
"Very well, let us hasten, lest the onlookers were to pry"
Onlookers?
"Create a contract with thineself"
Contract?
"Why should I trust you?"
"Just like thy pitiful self, thine too am filled with madness to thy kind and all creations, cursed and deceived"
"So thine had decided that thou shall be thine vessel after millions of years"
"I'am belike that we are of the same cloth"
The Daeva explained.
So he's the reason for the sudden impulse of madness that I have done, if I signed the contract that means he'll freely have the ability to control my body.
"Wait, first let me ask you why the hell are you here?"
Pleron again voiced out his question.
"Right now, our minds had been linked in this purgatory for the damned"
"If thou art to sign the contract thine tangible form would transport from earth to yours"
The demon spoke slowly.
So that means this demon from Earth would be transported to this one.
Pleron thought.
"And what would I gain from this, note that I was just recently betrayed"
"I may have let my guard down there and became arrogant due to my power, but no more will that happen again"
Pleron who just experienced his first betrayal is now conscious of it happening again, especially that the one his about to take with him is a demon of chaos.
"Hmph! unlike thy kind, Thine great self is Daeva of chaos, meaning a word of promise is a sign of putting down thine dignity as thine title"
"And thy curse given by the puny onlookers will also be lifted with thine great might"
"Thou'est would gain a good factor in thy conquest and thou'est would also obtain power unattainable by the masses"
"The ability of Sowing discord and inciting unrest to the masses"
"So what say thou'est?"
A paper of a contract filled with words that constructed a condition came out of the demon's hand.
So the Daeva can lift the curse that was put on the system and grant me new abilities.
Contract:
Aeshma the Daeva had been robbed of his duty, due to Sros "Ears" the counterpart of Aeshma and a spirit created by Ahura Mazda, with this the Daeva was overthrown.
What happened to him after the usurpation was not known, but it seems a curse had been placed upon him if ever he were to show signs of incitement, a rending of the flesh would ensue as punishment, and so the demon had learned to be tamed, but the sign in his eyes showed that hatred and malice had been well kept until the day it would be released, abiding his time, it seems the demon had learned patience in a most grievous way.
Condition: Aeshma's boiling point had come, and because of this he willingly gives himself just to continue his own path of chaos and someday exact vengeance to his counterpart.
- Your impulse to destroy will increase.
-A deity with his army will soon come.
Do you accept this condition?
"Yes"
'Pak'
With an excruciating pain that slowly mended his bones and rending of flesh, the boy succumbed to unconsciousness.
