The man walked alongside the demon down a dirt road.
"It's getting dark, we should settle down," Gyll said.
"Alright" Mi replied blankly.
After gathering some twigs and dry grass to make the fire, the man pulled out two fruits from his bag, "You want one?" Gyll asked.
Mi looked at Gyll for a few seconds before talking, "I don't need food."
"I mean yeah, I could go a few days without food too, but it's good to enjoy some sweet food now and then!" Gyll said with a grin than tosses the fruit to Mi.
The two ate the bright orange, fruit. It resembled an orange plumb, the size of a large fist, covered in a clear membrane.
"So what are you going to do now?" Mi asked breaking the silence.
Gyll almost choked on his fruit, "What do you mean? I'm meant to spread the knowledge of divine pornos, right?" Gyll replied in a joking manner.
"That's true but, surely you need a home, a people," Mi said.
"Alright then, how about we brainstorm some ideas!" Gyll suggested.
Mi nodded, "How about we open a school!" Suggested Gyll,
"Didn't you have enough people call you a pervert without reading porn out loud to kids?" Asked Mi.
"Yeah...you're right," Gyll said.
"How about we travel the world spreading our knowledge!" Gyll suggested.
"Better, but if you stretch yourself so thin you may miss a lot of people."
Gyll went back to quiet contemplation.
Mi's face lit up, "I have an idea," Mi says suddenly pulling a book out of her sleeve, she flips the book's pages to around the middle. "To influence one's allies, one must show results, to influence enemies one must surpass them." Mi read out loud.
"What does that mean? Am I supposed to go fight a king or something?" Gyll asked,
"I have to burst your bubble, but chances are you'd not make it past the king's jester," Mi replied.
Gyll scoffed, "Than what do you mean?" he asked.
Mi stood up.
"You will build an empire!" Mi proudly announced.
Gyll stared at her with an expression saying "And the punchline is?...."
"You've got to be kidding?" Said Gyll.
"You have everything a leader needs," Mi said to encourage him.
"Like?" asked Gyll.
"The stuff a leader needs," Mi replied.
"For example?" Gyll awaited his answer.
"The needs...a..leader must have," Mi replied.
The people became quiet.
"I guess...I have the knowledge...in the form of p-" Gyll began.
"Ok, that joke got old fast, stop, they're books." Mi interrupted.
Gyll sighed, "My own empire, that sound like a pain, but maybe a small town..." Gyll wandered out loud.
"Well, just think about it, I'm going to sleep," Mi advised.
Gyll replied with a nod, and soon he went to sleep aswell.
The morning was a warm one, Gyll was woken up by the warm light hitting his face.
The man stretched, "Good morning." Gyll said to Mi.
"Sure is." replied a familiar voice. Gyll turned to face this person, ready to fight only to realise it was Razyl.
Gyll relaxed, "Man, you scared me. What are you doing here?" Gyll asked.
"We lizardmen tend to be very traditional, and nowhere did I see this a clearly as yesterday," Razyl replied.
"Did something happen?" asked Gyll.
"After you left, Kaber tried to convince the chieftain to reconsider his decision, along with the brewer," Razyl explained.
"His execution was sentenced to death yesterday for insulting the leadership of the village, the chieftain is being used as a puppet by a few powerful villagers," Razyl added, Gyll's face was overcome with rage, as he stood up and started grabbing his items.
"Those bastards, we have to go help Ra-" Gyll began but was interrupted by Razyl, "There's no need, according to the chieftain he was killed on the spot," Razyl said blankly.
Gyll froze, he fell back on the floor.
"No need to cry over me yet, Human," Kaber said with a chuckle.
Gyll looked up in shock, "You're alive!" he said.
"Yep, nobody ever said that the chieftain actually killed him," Razyl said.
"I've been exiled from the village," Kaber said.
"We fled at night, we were planning to search for a different village, but we saw some sorry human sleeping in the middle of a field, and we couldn't just let him get eaten by wolves." Kaber laughed.
Mi looked at the group talking, it was beyond her comprehension.
Mi tapped Gyll on the shoulder, "Here, give them these.".
Gyll was somewhat surprised and handed the two lizardmen two talismans.
"What are these?" asked Razyl putting his on, Kaber followed.
"Human, you must have really missed us, if you're showering us with gifts already," Kaber commented.
"Sup," Mi said facing the two Lizardmen.
The two Lizardmen stared at the figure, occasionally glancing at Gyll, than back at Mi.
"Human, you better have an explanation for why you're walking around with a child," Kaber said.
And he did.
The group talked for about twenty minutes.
"So, why couldn't you have done this at the village?" asked Razyl.
Gyll shoots Mi a confused look, "He could have, but he never asked." Mi replied.
"WHAT?!, how was I supposed to know I could do that?!" asked Gyll.
"What's done is done," stated Kaber.
"What will you do now Gyll?" asked Razyl.
"Well, we were just thin-" Gyll was interrupted by Mi.
"We're starting a town," Mi exclaimed.
Gyll shot a panicked look towards Mi, it very clearly meant "ARE WE?!", she shot back a look saying "..."
"I see," Razyl replied.
"You've got some ambition human!" Kaber exclaimed.
"So, listen, human. do you think you could use somebody to help you start up your village?" asked Kaber.
"Make that two somebodys," added Razyl.
"Ehh, I-" Gyll began but yet again, Mi answered for him.
"Sure," she said.
"Alright!" Razyl cheered.
"Let's get started!" He added.
And while this was going on, one taught was going through Gyll's mind,
"WHAT THE HELL DID I GET MYSELF INTO!?!?!?!"
Meanwhile, at the human capital city of 'Tritur City'
"My lord, you musn't!" Insisted the royal advisor.
"No, I must." Replied the king, dressed in lavish silk robes, sporting white hair and a long beard.
"My lord, your son must have simply decided to stay a bit longer at an inn, you know how he is!" the advisor argued.
The king stopped in the middle of his carpeted corridor.
"Do you really think so?" asked the king meekly.
"Yes, of course, your highness," the advisor replied.
The advisor ushered the king back to his room, "My lord, you shouldn't exhaust yourself so much while ill" the advisor said.
"I don't have long left, I should at least spend what's left of it with my family." the king replied.
The king was shocked by a thud behind him, and even more so by the dagger in his side.
"You'll get to see your family soon, your highness." replied the cloaked figure.
