A Bet with Slutty Evil Being!

"I... I thank you. I did not need your help, but you assisted anyways without any intention of taking advantage of the situation or me. I have never seen a demon act like you before."

"Why's that? It is just an act of kindness any normal person should do." Alex felt confused, what does being a demon have to do with saving her? He realized the answer before Aureal responded.

"It was taught that demons, like you, are nasty creatures. That they would sooner stab you in the back or front the sooner you are vulnerable. They take advantage of the sin of mortal beings and do anything in order to beguile my kind to fall." Aureal explained, "However, an angel hasn't fallen in millennia, yet that doesn't mean a demon won't try. At first that was what I thought you were doing."

"Well, I can't say the same for other demons... But I can assure you, that I was not intended to make you fall. Now it's most likely because I was originally human. But I would ever think of doing the dishonorable and disgusting acts of other demons."

Alex's resolve further confused Aural.

She responded, "Other humans who have turned into demons are the same as pure demons, sinful and disgusting creatures... Yet you are different." The more she spoke with Alex, the more she became confused about the base of her ideals. "I must think about some things... But I would like to converse again soon."

Alex tilted his head, "You know, you definitely aren't like what I thought angels were like either. I thought they would instantly hate me and revile me. I figured they would sooner kill me just because I was a demon and not human."

Alex smiled, "Yea, I'd like to talk again"

Aureal blushed again, "I-I will find you again when you are convenient." And with that, Aureal jumped out of the bedroom window and disappeared from view.

"She definitely isn't what I'd thought an angel be. Angels are supposed to be absolute, unyielding, and dedicated to their faith. Holy hell... I thought I was gonna get massacred for a second." Alex checked the time, it was 12:54 A.M. in the morning.

Alex plopped his head back onto his pillow and fell asleep to a peaceful sleep.

'My heart is pounding... My face is warm... I feel, fuzzy. Why is that?' Aureal wondered, 'I know for certain though... He is different from other demons, perhaps his subordinates are as well? We shall see.'

Aureal somehow managed to avoid being sensed by her superiors and the women in Alex's home.

If it was found that she was freely conversing with a demon, and a Ruler of Sin at that, she would receive one of the highest punishments possible, as her action would have resembled treachery and corruption.

Aureal floated onto a tall building within the main part of the city, away from any prying human eyes. She held aloft a glowing ball, wrapped in the same material as her clothes.

She spoke to the ball, "I have confirmed that the Lord of Lust has awoken to his power. He is a full demon now."

The ball spoke back, "Well done, Aureal. You have redeemed yourself from your previous failure and we award you your weapon and battle raiment. We will be watching you though, should you be close to failure again on and future tasks or missions, you will be permanently stripped of your rights, title, and war gear." The voice spoke without empathy, it was cold, devoid of any emotion.

Aureal replied, "I thank you for this second chance. I will not fail again."

"Good. We have your next task. Eliminate the Lord of Lust and those who conspire with him."

Aureal choked, "What?!"

"You have heard your orders. Obey."

"I thought there was an agreement to let the Lord of Lust live and go back to his domain? Why are we killing him?"

"There was an agreement, and still is. But we cannot afford this chance to eliminate the next candidate for a vacant place within the Rulers of Sin. This act will force a war between the any viable candidates for the throne. There must be a ruler for each side of Sin according to the demons. Eventually, sides will be drawn between the other Rulers of Sin, discord will be sown. And the demonic armies will be weakened for thousands if not tens of thousands of years." The voice offered no room for resistance.

Aureal dared not talk back against her superior's logic. She would surely be punished permanently. "I-I understand... It will be done."

"Remember, if we believe you are about to fail this mission, we will take matters into our own hands. You may take your time to prepare as you will surely need your weapon and battle raiment. They will be delivered tomorrow."

The ball stopped glowing as the conservation ended. Aureal fully recognized the logic of her superior's orders...

But she was hesitant, after all, Alex did say that he had expected her to kill him. She felt partially sick of the thought of killing him because of the sincere words he said.

'Orders are absolute, there is no way around them. I would be permanently punished and hated. I would be miserable for the rest of eternity. I will not doubt my faith now because of some honeyed words.' Aureal thought.

Yet, doubt filled her mind. "He is different somehow... I need to find out more." She told herself, "I will speak to him again, is he really a manipulative being? Is he somehow controlling me? I need to find out more."

And with that, Aureal vanished from her spot, awaiting the delivery and coming up with the perfect time to speak to Alex again.
