A Four-Horned Demon

...

My eyes opened... to see myself in a cave.

The air was musty with a slight stench. The cave itself was quite dirty, but that was to be expected considering it was the middle of the forest.

My body was shivering uncontrollably while a dull ache spread across my body from various wounds.

It was a vision, I could no longer control my actions.

My feet dragged on deeper into the cave.

Then, they froze in shock.

There was a four-horned demon in front of me, with a mangled leg. Its breaths were ragged and pained.

It was leaning against the cave wall, in as bad of a condition as I was.

Different from three-horned demons, the demon with four horns did not have an overbearingly large physique. In fact, it was scraggly, like me.

My head raised to look at the four-horned demon's face. In turn, the four-horned demon met my eyes.

There was a moment of silence.

On one side was a human and on the other was a demon.
