Demon

Juliette could smell the scent of sulphur and burnt objects as she stood still, dazed. The soroundings were new and foreign. And the air as well.

"..."

Shehad no idea what was actually going on here. But she chose to place absolute trust in Damien. Her idol and her superhero.

And though she might not know, she was going to find out soon enough. No. She was about to find out instantly!!!

Boom~

From a river of lava not far away from the duo, a small explosion occurred. It kicked up a splash of orange-red lava up to  at least two to three meters into the sky.

Then from the lava, an egg-like object flew out.

It was three meters tall, and one and a half meters wide. It was also formed from the lava of the river, making it seem vivacious.

"What... what is that?" Juliette held on tightly to Damien, almost sinking her fingers into his flesh. Damien did not respond at first, and just kept up his daring smile.

Moments later, he opened his mouth. But Juliette would come to dislike the words he was about to say.

"If I'm correct, the rumored devil." He said. It was not a devil though, but a demon. They were different. Yet he did not even seem bothered, but Juliette was.

"..."

She stared at her idol, her big brother-in name, in stupor. A lot of words written all over her face, questions to be precise, yet none making its way out of her mouth.

She just opened, and closed her delicate mouth with no words coming out. She was adorable to look at. Especially her blank gaze.

Meanwhile, the egg-like lava membrane suddenly bloomed like a flower. It was beautiful. The scenery made even the frightened Juliette to stare in amazement.

Yet for only an instant.

For what came out of that membrane, was the most hideous being she had ever laid her eyes upon. It was unbelievably, and absolutely... ugly.

Purely hideous!!

...!!!

It had a two and a half meter tall body, with a humanoid physique. Yet that was where any human-like traits ended.

It had disoriented arms. The one on the right being large and bulky, even larger than its waist in thickness. The veins on that hand, made it seem like it was about to burst.

It was disgusting. Juliette made sure to cover her mouth in case she vomited. Or if any blood would fly into her mouth, when it explodes.

For that was not all. The right hand was not even human-like. It was more like a fore limb of a beasts with three fingers, or rather three paws?

The left hand was the opposite, completely thin, like a stick. And being very dark in color, like burnt flesh.

It resembled more an insect's limb. While at the hand, it's fingers were blade like, and could be put together to form a make-shift spear head.

It had two small wings on its back, and an oval head. Two antenna on both sides of the head, each containing an eyeball. With two large mouths on its muscular chest.

One horizontally along the chest, and one vertically below the chest, exactly on the stomach. It's legs were like grasshopper legs, thin and powerful.

"...!!!"

Juliette could not bare with it and finally moved behind Damien. She fell on her knees and vomited. She, she had seen blood and gore, but this... was just disgusting!!

It was just horrific.

"Yeah. A demon. A low leveled demon at that. It's as hideous as ever." Damien thought out loud to himself. Glancing at Juliette from the corner of his eyes.

"You good?"

"I, Fi-– Fine..." Juliette responded in between her deep breathing. She was afraid to turn around and look at that thing. In case she emptied her bowels by vomiting even her intestines.

"Alright then."

Damien said and nodded at her response.

He then flexed his muscles and took a single step forward, adding "Don't worry, I'll make sure it's dead as hell in a jiffy."

"You just make sure to watch our soroundings in case another monster appears." He warned, taking his second step, but the frightened Juliette was faster.

"Hm?"

She held onto his leg, or rather, his trousers and stopped him on his tracks. She looked up at him with a pale face, her body slightly trembling. There was despair and fear in her eyes.

She opened her mouth to speak, but no word came out. She was about to cry, as her eyes got moist. Damien knew why she would react this way, and smiled at her.

His smile was gentle and reassuring. "Don't worry sweetheart, the last thing I wanna do is die, and leave you all by yourself in this god forsaken world of ours."

His words were soft and carefully spoken. Choosing even sweet words to sound even more affectionate. Juliette slightly calmed down, but did not let go.

Damien stared behind him, and realized that the demon was still coming out of its shell. He then gazed back at Juliette, and stretched his big hand to lift her chin.

He lifted her chin up gently, making sure that her moist, red eyes, gazed straight at his own sky blue jewel eyes. He then smiled, a daredevil smile. His eyes slightly squinting at her.

His voice was a tone lower than usual. Sounding even more charming, and low cased.

"Look here sweetheart, Julie... times have changed. The thing that you met earlier is called The Primordial Source. A terrifying entity far beyond our greatest understanding."

"It's beyond mere godly. And even, beyond the olden ones themselves. It literally is Omnipotent and All Mighty. But what I know is that, it has no ill intentions against us."

"Or the world." Damien spoke softly, even though his expression was that of a person about to risk his life. His words were soothing. "As for why I know about this, it's because I'm from the future."

"A future where... I possibly lost all connection to you, my dearest. It, was quite horrible. Which I have decided to come back and risk it all. For you this time. And..."

He paused then, "Hahaha, hahaha..." He laughed and stood up. A glint of murderous intent flashing through his eyes. His blood racing through his blood vessels.

"..."

Juliette was flabbergasted by his words. She was completely shocked, and did not know what to say or believe.

No, she believed Damien completely. Every word he said. She believed him. She knew he was telling the truth. She just knew.

But she just did not understand what he meant. Lost all connections to her? 'Did I die?' She wondered to herself, shocked and utterly speechless.

Her hand loosened it's grip on his pants, but Damien failed to take that into mind. His murderous gaze, one of excitement and disdain, gazed at the demon that was completely out of its shell.

His words that had trailed off after his laughter, continuing, "And... That's why, I'll do everything possible. No matter how savage, or how low, to make sure you never leave my side in this lifetime."

Juliette looked up at him, at Damien, and at that moment, she was frightened. The man that stood before her, was... she felt her heart skip a beat, as his blue eyes were purely oozing murderous intent.

And pure killing intent.

His smile clearly one of a devourer, a predator about to tear its prey from limb to limb. It frightened her to the core, yet for some reason, excited her as well.

Her hand completely loosened it's grip on him. Damien felt that and turned to look down on her, his smile subconsciously growing even more daring.

His gaze like that of a god, nay, a devil.

His eyes subconsciously stared deep into hers, with hidden softness and gentleness within the seas of murderous intent. None of the killing intent nor murderous intent held within directed at her.

Such fine level of control was godly.

"..."

"So, sweetheart, dearest, princess, would you..." He knelt down before her, lifting her chin up a bit more once more with his fingers, as his intoxicating voice continued, "...would you allow me to throw my rationality aside, and protect you at all cost?" He inquired.

An inquiry that his future self always wished he had said to his Juliette. An inquiry he laid back before her, to avoid any regrets in this life.

And the reply to that, came as fast. "Yes, but..."

She responded obediently, her eyes absorbed into his handsome face, and powerful predatory gaze. She seemed mindless, his eyes being her current world.

Yet even then, her subconsciousness, her deepest desire, her instincts, kicked in as she added without even realizing it herself, "Yes, but... not your life. It... It's mine."

"..."

And Damien was slightly surprised and caught off guard, but a moment later, he stood up and chuckled to himself. Only three word leaving his lips at that moment, "Roger that, Julie."

~~~

"..."

At the same time.

But different environments.

The Gray couple were sitting together within the room, still not accepting the offer.

Both wore clothes that were movable within, and then gazed at each other. With goodbye smiles, even though Damien told them that they would be together.

Then they accepted.
