The Trickster and a demon

As the light disappears, we were sent to a mysterious place, We tried to escape but we can't.. A strong barrier was set in here, "We can't get out of here Michael, do you know how?" Velvet ask me "hmm a barrier was set.. we need to find the seal and take it out... only high rankers can set this... this means.." as I said it Eleanor said "is it the demon perhaps, demons has a high rank and they're very good at sealing... That's what I heard it" heard it.. "where did you heard that?" i asked Eleanor "From my mother..." oh.. I shouldn't have ask that... "ohh sorry about that I shouldn't have ask you that." When I said it to Eleanor she replied "no its okay, you were just worried about me right?" Of course I would "Of course, your my friend and I did say that I will protect you right" She smiled when she heard me say it "Yeah, hehe, its time to find that seal, but.. where would it be?" Hmm now that I think of it... I have a holy water just in case I run to some ghost or a demon... and now that you know.. Velvet hasn't speak still... should I? Hmm... "hey? Ahmm do you want to drink this velvet? You seem a little hydrated," hmm here goes... "oh thank you, I'll take that then" as I give the water which is an holy water, she gulped it all down... nothing still happening "hmm it taste good haha what is th" hmm? Is it... "wow it's good thanks for the water Michael" Velvet said to me.. nothing happened... now that I think of it i've never tried this on anyone so maybe its fake or she's a normal human and not a demon... wait she stopped talking... "What seems to be a problem velvet" she still remain silent until 3 minutes "-screams- it burns" Velvet screams like her life is about to be gone from flames "Huh!! What's happening Michael what did you put in that water?!" Eleanor said to me with anger and I start to explain it to her "What I gave her is a holy water, given only by the high priestess and it seems to affect her" and she replied "Holy water... does that mean she's a demon?" Eleanor asked me and I answered "Yes she is, but also not." When I said that to her she was confused and said "But why did you give her a holy water, when did you knew that she was a demon and what did you mean by yes but also not?" Eleanor ask me again "as you know when we were walking we heard a noise on a dark hallway right? That wasn't a noise but a scream and we heard two people but when we went there, there was only one person and that is velvet, and if a demon can make a barrier this strong then that demon can kill velvet so easily that no evidence will be left but the demon didn't want to know why? To possess her and trick us so that our fate will be controlled by this demon like a string when your manipulating a puppet. And that's why I used the holy water on her but the demon was so strong that it lasted in 3 minutes, and that's my explanation" when I explained it all to her she was shocked and amazed and said "wow you really thought of that and to think that you were able to know it when we heard that noise, your a genius Michael," hmm I guess so.. "-breathing- I've underestimated you Michael.. Then its time for me to get out of this worthless piece of weakling human." As the demon said it he whispered a language that we all don't know "Alepht Sympol Turtu Zygo delvis!!" When the demon said those words The demon got out from velvet's body and the demon's appearance were shown, Red horn, black wings, a scythe weapon as if the demon is a grim reaper that rip out people's soul and a golden and red mix eye colour and the demon started to speak "I am the one who trick people and kill them from the most crucial way, I am the Trickster and I am what you call the high rank Sylvostier demon." Sylvostier? This is gonna be dangerous.. Eleanor knows the story about the war between the angels and the demon so maybe she knows about this Sylvostier thing. "Eleanor, do you know about those ranks?" I ask Eleanor "No, my mom didn't tell me about this rank I'm sorry Michael" Eleanor answered "its okay, either way we have to fight this demon to destroy the seal" i said to Eleanor, to be able to get out of this place we need to destroy the seal and that is the demon who is The Trickster, Its a high rank demon Sylvostier, and velvet seems to be okay it looks like if demon possess someone, their energy which is the fluchlight, will vanquish for a moment so she's okay for now, hmm this is hard... "I guess there's no choice then" I said "what do you mean by that Michael... Wait don't tell me..." Eleanor said with a worried face, I pick up my two swords.. "Wait those swords, your..." The demon said "Yeah I know, its been a while since I used this two swords" I said to the demon "No!! Those swords! I get it now your Michael The Archangel aren't you?" The demon said to me "close but i'm not that person, i'm not an archangel, i'm just an adventurer protecting someone" I said to the demon, when i said that Eleanor was shocked when she heard me, as i pick up my swords The gyiersher, and the yvoleinur, the demon was scared when he saw my sword, "I am not Michael the Archangel, I am Michael Keller an adventurer, here to punish you to what you have done to velvet" I said to the demon with anger while the demon said "wait, i know, i can give you money, immortality, power, just let me live" the demon offers "I don't care about those things, those won't bring the people that you might have killed you can only offer me your body that needs to be punish, prepare yourself!" As i said it the demon started to run out of scared, While me catch up with him "Eleanor, protect velvet, i'll catch up with him" i said to Eleanor "but, what about you Michael?" Eleanor ask me "i'll be fine, and right now if you catch up with him you'll get yourself killed since your bow is broken." I said to Eleanor and she nods, and her expression is like saying be safe, and i nod. The demon was still running, there has to be a shortcut here.. hmm.. wait that's it the top roofs.. I climbed the top roofs and run and jump so i can catch up with the demon, and the demon was getting tired, it seems that possessing a human can get a toll to your body huh, i was able to pick the pace and was able to catch up with the demon and i jump from the roof and straighten my swords straight to the demon's heart and put all my strength through it. "AHHHH!! It burns" the demon screamed as my holy water that i put on my sword is affecting him, The demon started to get burned and the demon said the last word "A girl with a red cloth will come to you and will ask for help, and the lunar eclipse will appear and the next will be the blood moon, and the war that has never seen or happen will begin" as the demon said it, he turn into ashes and disappeared.. A girl with a red cloth? What does that mean... I hurried back to Eleanor and Velvet and when i came back Velvet was awake and I said "your awake, are you okay?" I asked Velvet "i'm okay now, thank you to both of you, i owe you all" Said Velvet "No i didn't even do anything..." Eleanor said to Velvet "no, you did something you protect Velvet so that if the demon might come to you two, you'll protect her, you did something good, be proud of that" I said to Eleanor, she was happy when she heard of what i said and she said "thank you Michael" Eleanor said "its okay, and your face is getting red do you have a fever?" i said to Eleanor "a-a-ahh this is nothing, we should hurry back to the town since the seal has been undone" Eleanor said while Velvet was looking at her. "Yeah i think we should, we do need to buy you the rapier and fix your bow too" I said to Eleanor, Velvet decided to tag along with us and we hurried to the town, i'm still thinking of what that demon said... But for now i should focus on this first.... While i can..
