Chapter 4: Demands

Witch's cabin

Remi rage towards the witch who had burnt his hand and almost killed his only companion was overwhelming him, however he was brought back to his senses with a gentle touch on his back.

"Sir Remi..." Edward said.

The corpse of the witch slid off Remi's bloody arm. Remi noticed that the burn on his hand was gradually healing.(so this is the way demons heal) Remi thought as he saw muscle overlapping bone and skin overlapping muscle. It was scary to think he wasn't a normal human anymore.

After the death of the witch the boys witnessed something strange.

"Coo coo!!!" A sound came from the corpse.

"The hell is that?" Remi asked. A blue and white bird-like creature flew away from the witches and landed on the edge of the cabin.

"I believe it's a chicken" Edward answered. The blue chicken then pecked the space behind the cabin, like throwing a stone into a pond the area rippled behind the cabin an entire town was revealed.

"What a powerful illusion!" Edward screamed as he was amazed by such a powerful spell. The duo embarked to town in hopes of getting answers.

Diora kingdom

Kings castle

The people who had come to this world with Remi have been training for the whole time after Remi was  confirmed dead. Finally they would be become ranked knights. Alex who has become something of a leader to the was sporting bronze armor and a brown tunic.

"Damn that training was hell!" Alex exclaimed.

Ali who was the oldest acted as the banker of the group, he disliked the armor they used and rather wore traditional silver garments and a white turban and tunic.

"Come on if we didn't train we might have ended up dead like that guy..." Ali bluntly stated.

Debora who was the acting elder sister of the group hissed at this comment, she also wore a blue dress with a silver breastplate, her frizzy hair was even more frizzy now. "I swear Ali the way you talk sometimes is so disrespectful!" Debora yelled at at him and slapped the back of his head 'slaaappp!'

Ali yelped at the pain and glared daggers at Debora who gave him a similar glare. Feeling the tension skyrocket, Elisa took the stage.

"Hey fellas, Remi might still be alive, his body hasn't been found yet, so there's still hope!". She was an optimist at heart, a kind soul.

She wore a red tunic and a bronze breastplate, her brown hair was cut to ear length and was puffing upwards. Finally Amaka the youngest girl stood silently wearing a blue gown and a wizard hat. These 5 people were so different, truly showing the diversity among people of the previous world.

They enter the throne room, a massive hall with covered with golden ornaments on the walls and red tiles a on the fall. About 20 knights clad in bronze armor, stood on guard 10 each on the left and right side of the room. The king sat on his golden throne.his tiny goblin legs barely touching the floor. To his right stood Victor the royal adviser, and to his left his 3 children, they had feature both of goblin and human meaning they were half-breeds, all wearing royal garments. The eldest was a strong  looking woman with pink hair on the right side of her head while the other part was shaved. The second born was a skinny looking man with a Dangerous look on his face, his blue hair covered his eyes s bit but the red goblin glow could still be from his pupils. Finally the last born was a lot fatter than the other two, get could be compared to a balloon with his green hair in a buzz cut, he seemed to be munching on a chicken wing.

Seth the king of the Diora kingdom stood up to greet the 5 new knights. Still wearing his kingly robes raised his green hand and saluted them. Alex and the rest bent a knee as a sign of greeting.

"Am glad this many survived, we only had one casualty this time. Still you five, before you can be sorted we have to wait for the 3 guild masters to arrive, but damn why are they so late?" Seth asked.

At that moment the door of the throne room was kicked open 'bammm!'.

"Am still alive!!!" An angry voice shouted, this voice belonged to Remi. Before anyone could move a muscle Remi had ran past the guards and the 5 others and was currently standing in front of king Seth.

His appearance was that an enraged beast with glowing blue eyes, what was even more strange is that a single blue horn had spouted from the right side of his forehead.

"Yo Goblin king guy! Did you know this was going to happen to me when you sent me into the wild!" Remi shouted.

"Partly I hoped it would be a different demon that would possess you, but I guess the wrath demon won't leave Diora until he kills more of us" Seth said calmly.

Remi was confused he wanted to be angry but he also wanted to know why Seth knew he had the wrath demon "what?".

"Sir Remi stop if your too rash they'll kill you!" Edward shouted looking exhausted from running after Remi. Remi stopped moving after hearing Edward's voice.

All of a sudden 3 shadows passed Edward and apprehended Remi, a thick metal rope coiled around Remi's body holding him firmly and pinning him to the ground. Remi saw that one of the 3 shadows who caught him was a woman with dark pink hair and red armor, next to her was a crimson haired man with blue armor looking pissed at Remi's entire being. And a rather short man with dark blue hair combed into 2 spikes at the back of his head.

"So even after 10 years your wrath is still burning" the woman said.

"This time I'll be sure to drain the hell out of your soul, demon!" The crimson haired man shouted.

The short man remained silent. Remi's right horn started to grow and hurt him even more, this was a result of the anger Remi was feeling now these 3 made Remi's blood boil for battle.

"Hold on just a minute you 3, I'll handle this" Victor said as he touched  Remi's shoulder, as he did this the metal binding Remi was disintegrated and Remi was freed.

As Remi stood up he saw the fearsome gazes of everyone around him ranging from the guards to the children of Seth. He also shot the same angry gaze back at them.

As Victor was about taking Remi to a different room then.

"Your Remi right? am glad you're okay" Elisa spoke up and smiled the 4 others came out to see him as well.

A disgruntled Remi then replied "who are you people?" He legitimately forgot, he wasn't to blame because all this time he had been fighting for survival in this unfair world.

Elisa felt dishearted at the realization that Remi didn't remember her and the others, as he left them behind.

"you shouldn't be mean to your friends" Edward purely stated.

"I can't consider anyone in that room my friend!" Remi shot back, his mind blinded by hate and wrath.

Victor opened the door to a room with 20 chairs stacked to the right side, quite far from the throne room, as Remi and Edward entered the room a bald figure closed the door behind them. Remi recognizing the figure shouted.

"you! Where were you when I was almost killed by those cultist!" At this point tears of anger were gushing out of Remi's eyes and Edward tried to console him by pating his back.

The Bald knight bent a knee and lowered his head to Remi. "Am sincerely sorry, I believed at the very moment you were attacked, a demon would have possessed you, that's what I was told, to make it up to you hit m..."

'waaam!' Before he finished his sentence Remi had planted a boot into the Knight's left cheek and sent him flying into the stack of chairs.

"Sir Remi!" Edward shouted.

"That felt to good!" Remi said smiling.

"That's the wrath demon for you, rank means nothing in face of pure power" Victor said clapping. The knight was knocked unconscious by the kick and remained immobilized.

"Rem.. no you do deserve a sir after all the trouble I put you through" Victor corrected. "Sir Remi it's true I told the knight not rush helping you, but that's because 'only those in need of help can be given the power of demons' an angel told us that, ever since then we've been holding this test of strength, sadly it doesn't always work. But this time am amazed at how you can use that power" Victor continued not feeling bad at all from turning a boy into the host of a demon.

"Well thanks to that, I now have an urge to kill almost anything that irritates me! You better have something to compensate me!" Remi wiped the tears from his eyes, he had come to terms with the fact that he would never be separated from the demon for as long as he lived and just wanted some closure.

"Name your price anything in my power will be yours!" Victor said again smiling.

Remi took a deep breath and said. "Give me a village"

With that Remi returns to the castle and makes his demand. Find out if he gets what he wants, bye for now!
