...Meanwhile, On Earth
Curse them! The injured demon thought as he slowly made his way through the dark forest. His long red hair was stained black from the blood pooling out of his head and chest, and his three-piece custom Brioni was in shreds. How could I have let them get the jump on me? I had everything planned out perfectly. Xerses was supposed to provide a distraction while I extracted the souls, then, we were going to split the haul fifty-fifty. Clearly, he must’ve realized I was never going to cut him in and decided to take matters into his own hands, resulting in me almost getting killed tonight. Though, If they were smart, they would’ve made sure I was dead before clearing out, now I’m hellbent on revenge. And I will enact it slowly and very painfully.
