[@Lord Zee]

	Deruga and the mimics stopped their insanity temporarily to listen and watch. When the demoness came, Deruga seemed to straighten and hiss. "I have come by my ladies order. I hunt a member of the band that has joined another, and taking the tenor's instrument. I hoped your friend here would be more civilized than myself, but apparently not. Plus, I did not know that was punishment. But a deal could be made, as you are a demon, the best dealers on earth. Tell me if he has trversed through here, and I and my ladies beasts will leave promptly to the closest border. Don't, and then this mindlessness will continue till I join my lady and you join yours. Deal?" He said threateningly. He knew after that last spell, he'd need to get energy from something other than his potion, and use spells that wouldn't create, but he could last enough to piss off the goddess of Devilry. But would his lady approve?

	...probably not...

	Terzotz was resting in the Rift near a fire spring, Rescoreje pacing in front of him. He had only one orb for an eye open, peering into the molecular structure of the demigod, simply to make the situation more entertaining. Rescoreje broke a rock, then punched a Leechbark Birch, which sapped energy from him when he did. [color=#808080][b]"That wasn't very smart."[/b][/color] Rescoreje looked at him with a murderous gaze. [color=#808080][b]"Shuttin' up"[/b][/color] And he settled back into the most relaxed he could whilst near the youth. [color=0054a6]"She's always babying me! Why can't I be on my own, huh? I can beat any god with my eyes closed!"[/color] Terzotz snickered.[color=#808080][b]"There's the mortal arrogance. If you beat a god, the only god it would be is Hayim, if you're lucky. Your supposedly 'over protective' mother would save your ass before the god in question did more than scratch you.and for good reason."[/b][/color] Rescoreje threw a rock at him, which consequently bounced off and hit him back in the gut. [color=0054a6]"My mother IS overprotective. Tell me one reason why I need to stay here in her hidey-hole?"[/color] Terzotz got up with a roll of his eyes. [color=#808080][b]"Well, how about the fact you are a very large bargaining chip. If a god wanted to control your mother, all they had to do was capture and threaten to kill you should she disobey or attempt to rescue you. You are also one of the, if not the only living demigod in existence. You have a small section of the power of a god, a mortal soul, and the free will of a mortal. Any god would love to collect you, as a trophy. Many would snap their fingers and you'd be a puddle of orange juice on the floor. Any arguments now?"[/b][/color] Rescoreje sat and pouted, glaring at the black dragon with his arms crossed.
