Belial and Sam

  "Where are we?" The sky radiated emptiness – twelve seats pointed at the demon king – Staxius, seated at the 12th marker, crossed his arms and gave a small nod. Belial tapped his chest and lowered his body, "-you don't need to explain," he said, "-I can all that is here, and all that you represent. You're the truth destroyer. We, the demon kings, don't hold a candle to the amount of destruction you hold within yourself. Must I submit myself or fight, what is the smartest choice?"

  "There is no smart choice," Staxius replied, "-you stand within the realm of absolution. We know other realms can be rewritten when a stronger presence chooses, not here, not now. There's no way to rewrite or fight against me once this realm has been expanded. It does take a lot of energy to keep its structure stable. I'm rather strong," he took out a cigarette, "-I'm pleasantly surprised to see the level of self-awareness thee've shown."
