The Darkness In Your Mind

I walk outside and after waiting for Lucy and Will to arrive I get the attention of everyone in the village and begin to speak "Everyone, I have an urgent announcement to make that concerns all of us." They all stop what they are doing and look at me with curiosity. Once I see that everyone is listening I cough before continuing

"Alright, I have something to tell you all, but before that let me just say, do not panic and remain calm, listen to what I tell you to do, do you all understand that?" They all agree that they understand what I mean and then I continue once again this time with a smile on my face so that they can see that I'm sure everything will be okay

"Okay then, now allow me to explain what is going on here." I then explain the situation to them and they express a bit of fear but remain calm just like I had asked them to do. I say "So everyone, please remain inside your buildings until I come out and say it's safe, after all they will more than likely attack you because your races aren't known for being friendly towards humans."

They then go to their homes like I asked them to then I turn around and look at lucy and will. I can see that they are a bit worried just by looking at them, I then say "Don't worry, everything will be fine, I will do my best to make sure that everything turns out alright." I pat Lucy on the head and then walk back to the manor after telling them to stay with Keno and his father while I handle this.

I go up to my throne room, sit on my throne, and then sigh before saying "Lano, Kevik, come in here and wait by my side just in case, but you are not to act against them unless I give the order." Both of them then enter the throne room and they set up a small table next to the throne and sit there drinking tea while we wait for our 'guests' to arrive.

After an hour of waiting, the doors to the throne room finally squeaks open, and in walk three people as I open my eyes slowly to see who it is. (View change, Sarah about 2 minutes before entering the manor.) We have stumbled upon a village but it seems deserted, either that or everyone is hiding, they must have heard that we were coming ahead of time.

We won't bother them, we don't mean to, we have nothing against the villagers and it's not our job to get rid of them even if they are demons or something. we weren't paid to get kill everyone here, and the villagers might not be evil for all we know so we will leave them alone because slaughtering innocent people would make us no better than evil demons and I would feel very guilty.

We walk up to a manor that is not too big but yet not to small, it seems pretty cozy, this has to be where the demon lord is, I almost feel jealous of his or her home. We then enter the manor after reading a note on one of the entrance doors. The note says "I await in the throne room just up the stairs."

After we enter we walk up the stairs and I begin to slowly open the doors to the throne room. (veiw change, back to Brine.) I recognize the first one immediately, it's Sarah, the adventurer girl I met at school, damn this could be bad. I notice Lano and Kevik are on guard but I motion of them to calm down a bit and they do but not alot.

I am currently wearing my normal clothes instead of my cloak as I havent infused my magic in it yet so it wouldnt be much use and it takes alot of time to infuse magic anyway. Sarah and the other two people appear to be attracted to the beauty of the room and haven't noticed me yet. I decide to be the first to speak, I say "Welcome to my manor Sarah, what brings you here on this fine day?"

She and her two party memebers snap out of their daze and look at me, Sarah's jaw drops as she sees me and she quickly says "R-Rin, what are you doing here?!" I look at her and smile before saying "This is my home and my manor, I believe I should be the one asking you that question Sarah."

She has a look of disbeleif on her face as she says "B-But If this is your manor then that means, YOUR THE NEW DEMON LORD?!" I chuckle a bit and then say "Indeed, I am the new demon lord, Demon Lord Kurai it's nice to meet you." I thought of the name Kurai because it means dark, its pretty good and its a great demon lord name for me sense I use darkness.

She gulps and then says "W-We have been sent here to kill you Rin, But I dont want to do that, so tell me something, why dont you strike a deal with the guild master or make a treaty that states you wont attack us or anyone in satoos." I think about for a moment before sighing and then saying "Alright, however I have conditions."

I pause for a moment before continuing "I will not tolerate anyone harming anyone I think of as a freind or family or anyone I like, if someone does, I will do what I deem nessicary to take care of the problem I won't kill them unless they do something extreame or continue to be a problem over and over again after I already punished or took care of them the first time."

Sarah lets out a sigh of releif and then says "Alright, that will probably be alright, will you please come with us to the adventurers guild to meet the guild master and settle this?" I nod my head and say "Alright but im bringing Lano with me because he might be of help, he is my buisness guy after all." I point to Lano and sarah nods in agreement.

I say "Then lets get going right now, I want to get this over with as soon as I can."
