"What did you just say?!".
"I said I wanted to go on a date with her, anything wrong with that?".
"I knew I was going to regret whatever nonsense you were about to say". Alouis facepalmed.
"What's wrong with what I said?".
"You're asking me that, seri....I refuse anyway". Alouis sighed.
"Why?".
"Can't you just ask for something else, any...
"Nope!, aren't you happy I'm not planning on spending the day killing people".
"I wish you would have said something that won't ruin my....
"I know almost nothing about you or your 'overwhelming power' other than the fact that your regenerative abilities are dope!, you can control people to do your bidding..
"Mind control..?".
"Yeah, something like that!".
"But you do know mine isn't as simple as that".
"Hmn, I know, anyway I don't think I know anything else about you, your abilities, expertises, your plan on helping me, so I can't let you ruin my life for free, got it!".
"That's actually true, it just occurred to me that you don't really know anything on me".
"You don't even know my name ".
"Name..?, Wait! Demons have names?!".
"Of course we do, how do you think we go around addressing each other?".
"Gosh!, sometimes I can't tell whether you don't know or you just have a really funny sense of humor".
"Shut it, you ba..
"Kai, that's my name".
"Kai..?, so you do have a name ".
"Of course what have I been trying to say!".
"Yeah, yeah, whatever ". Alouis waved his hand around.
"Would you like to know more about me?". Kai asked.
"No matter how cringe this sounds I actually do want to get to know you better, since we'll be sharing my body for a while at least till you get bored and leave aga...
"I can't do that". Kai interrupted.
"Why not?". Alouis asked.
"Well a demon especially not one of my ranking can't leave a body more than once in twenty years, that means if I were to leave, I won't be able to come back before twenty years are over". Kai explained.
"Why do you demons even need vessels?". Alouis asked.
"Not all demons need vessels, only strong and high ranking demons need vessels in order to go into the human world".
*So you are... strong*. Alouis placed a hand on his chin.
"Of course I am, I've told you countless times already!".
"But I didn't take you seriously, I thought it was a joke ".
"Well it wasn't, I'm pretty strong ". The lips on Alouis right hand smirked.
He had gotten quite used to seeing it that he didn't bother shouting at Kai.
"Want me to show you something cool ".
"Does it involve killing people?". Alouis asked walking over to trash the ice cream cone in his other hand.
"Not at all, what kind of monster do you take me for!".
"Thank goodness you know you're a monster". Alouis sighed lying down on his bed, face up to the ceiling.
"You little!!...
"Sorry!". Surprisingly Alouis apologized.
"You demons must have it rough ". He said.
"Yeah, but mine isn't all that bad, there are some demons that without a ritual or a bunch of spells you can't even summon them".
"Don't all demons normally need spells to summon them?". Alouis asked.
"Yeah but I'm talking about when entering into a human vessel, normally for demons of my caliber or less, you don't need that many paperwork, just get a vessel ready that's all".
"For lesser demon, all those weaklings, it's mostly the human that comes on top ".
"Then they take control of the demon's powers?".
"Yeah but I doubt there's anything worthwhile in such demons ". Kai scoffed.
"While for demons of my ranking or a little bit higher, it's usually the demon that takes over the body except if the human is as exceptional as those your mage friends or above".
"But for such demons, even if a vessel is already prepared for them, it still not possible for them to enter it, infact one human isn't even enough ".
"What?!, so you're saying they make use of more than one person just for a demon?". Alouis asked surprised.
"Yep!". Kai replied.
"Sometimes two; that is in rare occasions, while most of the times five..
"Five people just for one demon?!".
"Yeah, they combine all the humans into a suitable vessel".
"That's gross!".
"Hmmn..maybe, it's also kinda cliche since there are those humans who can hold up to five demons in them".
"There are?, I didn't even know ".
"What you don't know about demons could fill up a library ".
"With that being said, all those demons are out of reach from the human world, it's just too much work ".
"Why do you demons even find joy in coming into the human world?".
"Why do we find pleasure in trampling over your miserable souls, haha!, that's like asking a day old baby why it can't jump , that's a very stupid question ". Kai laughed.
"Right.. I almost forgot I was speaking to a demon". Alouis muttered.
"What's that supposed to mean?".
"Nothing... Anyway if you were to go against such a demon, would you wi...
"I would not, I would die within minutes".
"What?!".
"I'll give you a million worth of advice, if you and your friends which I doubt would be possible, but if you are ever faced with such a demon, flee with your tails between your legs, run like hell!".
*Woah!, he actually threw away his unwavering pride*. Alouis was stunned.
"I didn't throw away my pride, I just started facts".
"Woah!, that means you're really weak".
"I'm not weak!, they being stronger doesn't mean I'm weak and besides there are only five of those demons in existence".
"Just five?, you aren't lying, are you?".
"Of course I'm not!".
"That's exactly why I told you it's highly impossible for you to meet one of them".
"Did you think I was going to go all buddy buddy on demons?". Alouis scoffed.
"You can never tell what happens next, today your life might be simple, plain and far from eventful, but the next you're the topic on everyone lips, so be careful ". Kai cautioned.
"Sure, yeah". Alouis nodded.
"Anyways, tell me about the five of them, I'm intrigued!". His eyes glittered.
"You didn't hear a word I just said ". Kai sighed.
"Come on, don't be such a...
"Let's revisit that conversation another time". Kai cut him short.
"Fine then". Alouis sighed.
"Do you have siblings?". Alouis asked.
"Yeah I do, demons reproduce more rapidly and quickly than humans, and such children grow up way faster than humans". Kai explained.
"Really?". Alouis was actually intrigued.
"Yeah, did you know demon kids grow twice as fast ".
"You don't say?!".
" Mm-Hmm, that means you could be fourteen and I could be twenty seven even though we were both born on the same day".
"Also, demons tend to look younger, I could be a two hundred and fifty years old demon, but still look twenty five ".
"Our growth and everything is pretty messed up ".
"So those movies were right ".
"Yep!,. But I thought you would know all this since you have a demon friend ". Kai asked.
"Demon friend?, what you talking about?".
"Yeah I could have sworn I picked up a unique scent a while ago".
"Are you sure your nose isn't just rusty".
"Hey you!!,why do you like insulting m.... you do know we share the same nose, right? ".
"Yeah I know, but you're the demon here".
"But that wasn't it, I did smell it..
"Ohh, Maybe it's my brother, I spoke with him some minutes before you came back... And you know what there was something strange about him, even though we spoke for long, when I returned Sally told me it had been only five minutes".
"Sally..?". Kai asked.
"The girl you were calling cute". Alouis replied.
"So that's her name!, hmmmn, Nice!".
*That gave me goosebumps*. Alouis shook his head.
"Maybe he cast a spell or it had to do with a demon which is quite rare, but that's not what I'm talking about ".
"Then what are you talking about, I don't have any demons as friends ".
"Are you sure it's not just a mis..
"No it isn't, since our connection wasn't strong at the time, even of there were demons in that cinema I wouldn't know, but this one was really close to you, that's why I was able to pick it".
*But the only people close to me were in my team, you don't expect me to believe one of them is a de...
Alouis thoughts were cut short as the door opened.
"Hey man, you sleeping?". He walked over.
"Thank goodness you're not, we were in the middle of an important conversation and felt your presence is needed and we're about to play a game, wanna join?". He asked.
"Yeah sure, I'm coming out". Alouis nodded
Alouis rushed over to grab his glasses from the nightstand beside his bed.
"Gimme a sec". Alouis said putting it on.
*It's him!*. Kai screamed in Alouis head.
*What?*. He frowned inwardly.
*He's the unique presence I felt*.
*Who?*. He looked towards the door and asked.
*Lucian..?*.
