“Well Templars an’ the like can track ‘em down pretty easily…” Muses Volka as her tail gives the floor a gentle thump. “Mitaaran and any of the other ones, really.”

“Mages too.” Frowns TT. “They’d have a motive, too… having a demon under control… or at least their power, well-”

Your devil pal scoffs. “Yea, like that big-eyed pervert you morons left me with. Shoulda blown him and his stupid fireworks shop to the next plane…”

The question is, you continue with a deepening frown, would any of these people be close enough to pick up on the GREATER DEMON’S position… AND get to it before Rezalith? The Temple’s demon detection can’t be THAT strong, and if a mage was sniffing around Rezzie’s prey then she woulda’ sniffed them out, right?

The hellish huntress’ cocky smile falters a bit. “Yea, well… the problem with a demon that size is that it kinda overwhelms your senses…”

What, like she couldn’t smell anything else? The demon nods. Well, you sigh as you sink deeper into your chair, that… certainly complicates things…

“Ant…” TT’s wary tone makes you bristle a bit. Y-yea?

“I think we might also be ignoring another possible… candidate.” Her lime green eyes gradually hike up your side and meet your gaze. “You know who I’m talking about?”

It takes you a moment before the realization settles in… she’s… she’s talking about…

The Durher nods.

Jhairo?

Volka perks up. “Huh? What about Jhairo?”

“Who’s Jhairo?” Spits Rezzie. “The other big-eyed guy? Not a fan!”

“NO, Ant!” Groans the musician! “I’m talking about the OTHER human! The one who got summoned too!”

TT’s suggestion slaps you across the face like a gauntlet… Hell, in all of the excitement you’d nearly forgotten about her…

LIZ.
