A Hard Bargain

----

Now that a task was delegated to everyone, Apollo traveled with the others to towards the largest hub. With Ouroboros wrapped around his shoulder, he traveled with Elaia and Jorgun in tow. 

"Masterrr, I'm hungry," Ouroboros complained while rubbing his cheek against Apollo's. Since Ouroboros was a beast who was born with an innate disposition towards devouring, his appetite was simply ravenous.

Therefore, Apollo was forced to pacify his hunger. However, before retrieving any of his items, Apollo observed his surroundings to make sure that the coast was clear. After all, Zarkath's presence was acquired because of his own greed.

But, just as he was prone to coveting someone's items, the other demons could be as well. So, it was safest for Apollo to take adequate precautions before executing any extreme movements. Only once he was certain that their trails were clear did he feed Ouroboros two Inferior Crystallized Chaos.
