The Demon Child - Awakening

I started doing small question the board outside the main tent. The quests were like small favours that didn't require one in return. They were also short, so I could do them under an hour, so I did about ten a day. They also came with a small reward, about one crace rume each.

As I was searching for a new quest, I was pinned down against the board, look to the corner of my eye to see that Astaroth had restricted me, he even stomped on my tail. Astaroth then grabbed my neck, turned me around and pinned me against the board again, this time his arm was squashing my throat.

"Listen here little Dynestar, Lucyfers about to pick a guild quest, so get ready, you got that!" Astaroth raged at me.

"Yeah, I'll go get ready," I coughed.

"Great, then scram!" Astaroth yelled at me whilst taking his arm away.

I then bolted towards my tent and started to pack all the things I had, I got a little sac and just put a small leather canteen. I then ran out of my tent and back to Astaroth.

"I don't have anything personal, so I packed a canteen," I calmly said to Astaroth.

"Good, the others have arrived and Lucyfer is coming out,"

I looked towards the main tent to see that Lucyfer had come out with a piece of parchment in her hand. She then stopped in front Astaroth, Xirax, Abatson and I and started to speak.

"Ok team we have a mission," Lucyfer sighed.

"What is it?" Abatson replied.

"When do we leave," Abatson quickly replied.

"One day, and Dynestar, two things. One! Don't slow the team down, and Two! Here you go,"

Lucyfer then chucked a small rose-red booklet at me, I caught it and took a look at it. It was made out of red leather and had a nice touch. I turned it around to see golden details saying 'Your Welcome, from Jododam'. I just smirked and flicked through the small booklet. After I stopped on the second page, I was shocked by what I saw.

"This… this is," I stuttered.

"Krayme asked me to give it to you, he said it was from Jododam, saying that it will help him during the quest, and don't bring extra clothes, bring essentials, like a canteen or some food" Lucyfer replied.

"Already done,"

I then rushed over toward the tent which housed the food-related items and picked out some jerky. I then ran back to the tent and burst through the main tent to see that Krayme was waiting for me.

"Perfect, since you're going on a mission, you will have to wear some more fitting attire," Krayme laughed.

"So you're changing my equipment for the mission," I replied.

Krayme snapped his fingers and I was engulfed in flames. After a short while, the flames subsided and I was covered in some new clothing. I had some gauntlets that went up to my shoulders, some greaves and some piece of iron armour on my c.h.e.s.t, all were quite heavy.

"Offense for defence," I smirked.

"Correct, now I want you to memorize that book whilst you wait," Krayme replied.

"But before I go, I want to know more about our target,"

"Gener is a noble, he does slave trades and other black-market properties, he's been causing us trouble,"

"What kind of trouble?"

"He killed who you are replacing, Kappa. Lucyfer tried to keep her rage under lock and key around you, but all of your comrades have a grudge,"

I was shocked by what I heard, Gener killed Kappa! I was only his replacement but still, I felt a grudge. I buried the anger which had ignited inside me. I took a deep breath and kept talking.

"Where does Gener live or is present?!" I questioned Krayme.

"Hmmm, how secure is the area?"

"It's not very secure, mostly guarded by ghouls and low ranking demons, he's also having a banquet with other nobles just like him. The rewards are for each noble you kill, Gener is twice that amount. Also, our little buyer put Geners name up just for little Lucyfer to see,"

"Who's the person that put him up for a quest?"

"Jododam, The rewards are that you move up a demon rank even if you do nothing, your performance will be looked upon like that,"

"Also, you will be able to visit where he lives and go sightseeing for the day, also the bounties will be split across you five" Krayme continued.

I was shocked to find out that Jododam put up the quest for us, although I guessed that he would do it sooner or later to take a look at my abilities.

"Anything else you wish to know Dynestar?" Krayme asked me.

I thought for a moment.

"No, but thank you for telling me about it," I replied.

"Dynestar! Change of plans! We're leaving now!" I then heard Lucyfer yelling out to me.

"Understood, thank you for the information Krayme,"

"It's alright Dynestar, now, time to go," Krayme replied.

"Ok,"

I immediately jogged out of the tent to see I was group getting ready to go. I then ran towards them and told them about the new information I had gathered.

"Very well Dynestar, now move out!" Lucyfer yelled to the group.

We all simply nodded our heads and followed her into the north woods.

'Jododam, what do you have in plan for me this time,' I thought whilst going into the woods.

"One more thing, we attack at nightfall," Lucyfer said.
