"Prince of Hell? Buddy, I'm the damn king!" Samael placed his hands casually in his pockets. He'd dealt with one too many hotshot demons for his liking, and often felt bored when he had to teach them their rightful place. But today wasn't a day for such hurtful transactions. No, today was the day for alliances to be forged. He gave the other demon a toothy grin. "I've been walking this Earth for some time now kid. And I think I've finally got something to strike back at the old man," he chuckled, referring to God. "See, it involves a little girl...care to listen to an old sinner?"

Said girl was too busy stuffing her face with food without a care in the world. "Another one!" she said, already down with her third bowel chicken deer stew. At the rate she was eating, it was highly likely that she wasn't human. But did that matter? Unfortunately, it did. A red and orange butterfly flew into the cabin, gently perching itself on the kitchen table.

Mystified, Mary reached out her hand and let the insect crawl over her fingers. Instantly, the creature shriveled up into a patch of orange dust and mush. The girl gasped as she shook her hand, scattering the bug's remains on the table. She looked at her hand in obvious confusion.

Addel sighed and sat up. "I figured as much." He grabbed his sword and began to pack up. He could feel the effects of Julio's antidote slowly healing him, though there was still some remnants of pain. The knight ignored this and he beckoned for the angel to follow him. "Honestly, I'm more concerned with that other demon," he said, referencing Samael. 

"He seems...different. Almost ancient. He was after that girl earlier. We need to find out how she fits into all this." He turned back to look at Julio. "You knew that nature spirit, right? Can you take me to him immediately?"
