He sat in a chair near them both and strangely enough the chair seemed designed for his massive tail. It swayed back and forth as he listened to Moriko. His clawed hand rested against his face as he listened to her and as she asked her question he couldn’t help but laugh a little. 

“Well, I cannot tell you too much or solving the puzzle won’t work.” He admitted as he started tapping his index fingers claw against his teeth. He couldn’t help but let out a smile as he laid back in the chair. 

“My Father was once so powerful gods trembled before his might. Now he is imprisoned here within these walls, well, gates.” He clarified as he looked at the two in the room with him. A strange rumble could be felt as well as heard throughout the area. Instead of being something of a quake it was more akin to something growling. 

“Well, it seems that the others are here.” He said as more people entered the house. 

“They are here to make this impossible for you both to solve.” He said with a wave of his hand. 

“Although you are welcome to stay here until you wish to leave.” He said as he rose and moved to greet the newcomers. There was a tall man but he looked like he had burns on his skin. Upon closer inspection one would realize that it wasn’t burns but onyx black from the burning hells. Another, a beautiful woman didn’t seem to stand out much. Although she did have a tail with a spade on the tip of it. It looked like a small heart when she waved it correctly. She looked over to the two in the resting area and her eyes seem to light up.

“Now, now you know the rules. No killing or kissing people to death.” Thanalog told her with a swift slap to her face. 

“I see your eyes light up like that again and I will devour you both.” He informed them as he moved against the wall in the hallway. He noticed that she didn’t even feel the slap. It was as if she enjoyed the pain as she let out a seductive moan. 

“I can’t help if they fall for me.” She purred as her tail flicked back and forth quickly like a cat hunting. Soon the duo left the room and made their ways to their rooms. Thanalog moved back to the two in the room and looked at them.

“Sorry, one of them is a devil and the other is a demon… well, partially.”  He admitted as he looked them over. 

“Anything else I tell you they will most likely learn because of their strange magic.” He looked in the direction the couple went. 

“So what would you both like to learn… that doesn’t have to do with freeing my father from this prison?” He asked as he turned back to face them.
