Protected by the Devil

Everette.

Walking through the forest of Death is always relaxing for me, if I pay close attention, I can hear the agonizing deaths of each of the other souls that lie here.

Death is a lucky bastard...

But this time, luck doesn't seem to be flowing in his favor, for if Aladiah came in search of Life, sooner or later clues to his whereabouts will be sought, and I don't think they'll be happy to know that I manipulated him into ending up in the jaws of Hell.

These are accidents that can happen to anyone.

Aphra materializes a few feet away and runs towards me. I can assure you that this little spawn of evil manages to soften my demonic being.

I lift her up and she laughs excitedly, it's interesting to see the combination between Life and Death, she has the vitality of her mother, but the dull and somber look of her father.

"Uncle Everette, you're back!" she looks at Aisha and gives her a shy smile. "You came back to visit me." she says.
