The Princess And The Demon

One of Henry's vest buttons was riped off to only fall in the sea, if he was one second late that button would have been his heart instead of the button as the enraged demon attacked him with all his might, there was ice forming on his fingers taking the shape of long sharp claws seeking blood, at first Henry thought he was hallucinating, so did the rest of the ship, but something was definitely off..

So far, Henry kept a close eye on all of the people on the ship, observing the way the fog effected them, it was true they were more resisting to the pull of illusions, but there was also something else, the same thing that was ringing danger bells in his head about the demon trying to run the ice claws up his throat...

"Rory was it" Henry asked the demons close to the enraged one, staring at their comrade with weird expressions, most of the demons on the ship belonged to the ice edge, not all of them as some where shadow demons, they took their time starring at their fellow demon before one of them finally had the courtesy to nod, if Henry wasn't sure of his assumption before he was now...

While under the fog's effect, non of the demons were able to use their magic, he did not know why since he never really understood how the other creatures functioned and live, the demon baring his claws at him right now only meant that he was not under the fog's effect anymore, instead he was attacking him based on his own free will, not just that, he was accusing him of killing someone while planning to kill another, and as bad as that sounded it wasn't the worst part, rather that was the other demons agreeing with him...

"Who are you talking about?" Henry asked calmly, trying not to provoke the enraged demon by denying abruptly, He noticed the way the rest of the demons were looking at each other, probably mind-linking each other, and it wasn't a secret about what...

Henry did not have any inhumane abilities, no magic, no excessive strength, no sharp senses, for a human he was very strong, a great fighter, maybe the best, fast and agile, but that was incomparable with a demon's strength, not to mention a god's, he understood his weaknesses better than anyone, but he also knew his strengths, he was smarter and more rational than both the ice queen and the shadow lord, he had the numbers to his favor, his forces were more organized and knowledgeable when it came to the art of war, unlike the demons who were used to isolating their victims or going one to one against them, he trained his forces in a way that enhanced their team work and resistance, Henry knew what he was in this war, he was the human king..

"You bastard..." the demon roared before being sharply cut by Henry who ordered him to shut up at once, the demons were growling secretly in anger but he was not going to allow anyone to disrespect him, disrespecting him was disrespecting all of humanity and the alliance did not need any more reasons to get weaker...

"You will adress me with respect, and you will explain the accusations you have let against me" Henry's calm voice had that strong royal aura that he carried with him usually, causing the lowly demon to stutter a bit before looking him back in the eye

"you killed my family, my mother, one of your own, and don't think you can fool me, i know you are planning to kill our queen as well"..
