That Behind the Veil

Despite Mona's speech and my own logic, I followed the demons with the feeling of impending doom. Yet, the only 'doom' that befell us was reaching the hills and promptly losing sight of the demons.

"Oh, come on!" Mona shouted. "Unfair!" She glared at hills, gradually becoming taller and larger as we scaled them. "Why the hell can demons even fly?" She grumbled as we reached the peak of the small hill we were climbing.

Since we had no answers to her question, we simply pushed on. I took to the skies a few times but took care not to stray too far away. Despite our best efforts though, we failed to relocate the demons.

"Should we turn back? I asked as we finally decided to rest for a few hours. Mona immediately shook her head. "No," Her gaze wondered aimlessly. "Not yet," She said with a low voice.
