Ch.42

Daemon: They were not considered good or evil as a whole, but rather, they had the same moral capacity as humans to be either good, evil, or morally ambiguous.

....

A dragon full of people appeared in the middle of the sky, above the ocean. The people on it were tired and some even went on to sleep.

"We...barely made it.."

Sarah laid back in relief. 'Sebastian. Your dragon is a life saver. Thank you..' Without it, they would have all been left behind in that dungeon and would have died.

"Good. Now, to rest.."

As Acier said that, a bubble like noise popped and someone fell on top of her. This caused the awake people to look back and stare.

"L-Lily!?"

Sarah stared at the black haired girl with light green tips. 'It....it really is her.' She seemed passed out as everyone stared at her. 'But...how?..' As Sarah got up, she saw a huge ship in the distance.

"S-Sebastian-"

"...."

He mumbled, cutting Sarah off. Over the past couple of days, his bond with his dragon slightly increased. He was able to see farther than a normal human could.

His time limit also reached a minute, and yes, they have been flying for less than that. Before they entered the slit that led back to the human world, Yumi guided them to a mountain that was close to the slit. No close close, but enough to save time.

'That is...Lily?'

Yumi stared at her as Acier slowly pushed her off of herself. She heard about Lily over the past couple of days and if she knows one thing, that's that Daemon truly loves her. All of his happy memories were with her.

'So...that's my sister-in-law basically?'

Yumi giggled while sighing out. 'But in all seriousness, I hope shes okay. But if shes here, then where is Daemon? He wouldn't stay behind would he? Why would he...' A negative thought came to her mind.

'Did He Want To Leave Me?'

Lucifer stared at his 'Sister'. 'Shes...okay..' He smiled at the end of the day. They endured a week of hell and torture.

Well, some torture, but that's not the point. The point is that...they understood how harsh it could really be in a dungeon.

If it wasn't for Daemon's plan to throw everyone out, then they would all be dead. If it wasn't for Sebastians dragon, then they would have never escaped. Luck played a big role in all of this. Even though 3 people died, the ones that lived considered themselves dead...as well.

'But...where is Daemon?'

They all had thoughts that eventually led back to, 'Where is Daemon?' Daemon in question was sitting on a couch while statring at the ceiling. Behind the couch was Murasaki with her arms wrapped around his neck.

"Congratulations. You've finnaly grown up."

Daemon wasn't wearing a shirt at the moment. Since he wasn't wearing one, you could see his well toned chest. As a God, his physique was perfect. Just the right amount of fat to muscle ratio as well.

"Tell me, are you...happy? Do you feel accomplished? Like a new person?"

Daemon continued to stay dazed, barely hearing Murasaki. 'I won't be home tonight, Lily...' He was slowly looking around. 'For a while..' In the next couple of minutes, Daemon will be telling his secret to the world. For that, he won't be able to be around.

'When things settle down, and I know it'll take a while, I'll come back..'

Yumi, his relationship with her, his true Magic, why he won't help the world when he revealed his magic and so on. He'll have to explain all of that.

'Law has already sent Hestia to go pick her up. When she returns, it'll all begin to start..'

Hesita was the dead like woman. She usually carries out Murasakis work. When she leaves, Murasaki would ask for a random servant and if they can survive until she comes back, she'd set them for life.

Daemon is the only person to survive a meeting with her when it was just her and someone else.

"Hey, talk! Your freaking me the hell out!"

She slapped Daemon, making a red hand print. 'Damn it!' Murasaki held her beating hand. 'That hurts..' Daemon then got up robotically and walked to a door.

"Oh? Your ready?"

Daemon closed the door behind himself and found him in a box shaped room. In the middle, there was a green screen with a chair behind it. Like taking a photo for picture day at school, he sat down in it.

'We'll go around the world, despite what they all say about me. 'False God'. 'A monster'. 'Bastard of a son'. 'Liar'. They'll call me all sorts of names. They will harass Mom and Dad too for keeping this a secret. Lily...will be safe from public harassment as she'll be on the island. If people talk bad about her then than...she'll have to get into her first fight.'

Daemon's apperance slightly changed. His white hair could now be seen to all.

'I'll start a new life. I'll work without revealing myself. Over these next 3 years, I'll make this world one of that of Monster and Human. We'll live among each other, support each other, fight..with each other..'

The chair he sat in then changed into a couch. The green screen fitted itself so the whole couch would be visible.

'Lucifer. Just when I was becoming happy, we'll have to depart. I hope...you can wait for me and understand what I'm doing.'

'Sarah. I know this will...shock you and you might even feel betrayed. But I hope that you can understand as well.'

'Acier. I..don't know how you'll react. You might cry... No, that's not like you. You may scream at me through the television though..'

The door opened and 3 figures walked in. One looked dead, one was butt naked, and one had a long tail while pushing a stroller.

'Sebastian. I...can trust you. You did everything to help the students and you even helped me by helping Yumi, Yu, and Mi. For that, you have my gratitude.'

"Hey! Your wife is here! Aren't you going to greet her?!"

She chopped at Daemon's head to get him out of thought. It worked as Daemon looked up like he was finally out of thought.

"Yu..mi.."

She was blindfolded. Upon hearing his voice, her anxious aura went down and the baby Lamia started cooing. 'Take that off..' The blind fold started undoing itself and it soon fell to the floor.

'That's better..'

Her light blue eyes shone in his eyes as they stared at each other. Daemon smiled unconsciously as so did Yumi. Murasaki growled at the ugly scene in front of her.

'That's not fair! When he opened up, she was the first woman he fell for!'

Yumi had a head start between, Sylvia, Herself, Acier, a few more identified and unidentified women, and even...Lucifer. Okay, maybe not Lucifer, but she's close behind.

"We will broadcast this to the world. Every tv, phone, tablet, whatever that has a screen will change to our broadcast. Explain yourself and after, all...6 of us will disappear from the world.

Hestia, Murasaki, Yumi, Yu, Mi, and Daemon. After today, they'll disappear.

"I need to go get the equipment. Hestia, why don't you and Daemon catch up together? You haven't spoken in so long.."

Hestia looked out the corner of her eye and towards Daemon. She saw him helping the snake/human women sit down onto the couch. She then looked back and nodded.

"Alright. We'll start in 10."

She then left the room, causing things to become quite. 'Hestia is as dead as usual..' Daemon looked up at her and started to speak.

"Hey, Hestia. How has things been around here? Has Murasaki been taken care of herself? Bathing? Control that tounge of hers?"

Murasaki was a racist. Something about 'If I'm racist to everyone, then its equality right?'. Now, that's messed up, but.....shes not wrong. And about the bath thing, she rarely showers. All she does is laze around everyday, collecting a musk.

Though, people can't smell this, besides Daemon. Then again, it doesn't bother him. Some people are just....like that? Let them do what they do.

The doll didn't respond to him which didn't surprise him.

"Well anyways, I'm glad your here for her. She needed someone like you.."

Hesita was a magical puppet created by Daemon as a gift to Murasaki. A magic puppet is a puppet implanted with magic essentially. It works as a wooden robot basically. Daemon programmed her to be the perfect butler, one that follows orders and doesn't voice opinions.

"Hey, Hesita. Come here for me."

Hestia nodded and walked over to him. She had to step over Yumi's long, white tinted clear tail to sit down next to him.

"Open your control panel for me. I need to change something.."

She nodded and turned her head to the left. She parted her long, black hair to reveal her neck. An outline of a square was present on her neck. When Daemon tapped on it, it opened like a cabinet to reveal switches.

"Hestia. I haven't been a good inventor for you, so touching your switches like this isn't fair for you."

Daemon reached for a specific switch.

"But if we're gonna be going on a journey together, then I'll need you to have some sort of response.."

The switch he flipped gave basic communications like yes or no. 'The perfect butler is now a regular butler..' Daemon closed the panel, making her void black eyes have some shine to them.

She then got up and walked away to stand next to the side of the green screen. Daemon shook his head at that and looked down. He saw a clapping Yu and A quite Mi.

'Coincidence?..'

Yu was like her mother, talkative, and Mi was...well like Daemon. Atleast before the change..

"Ah, so you noticed too?"

Yumi placed her hand on Mi's head while talking to Daemon.

"She acts like you. 'Quiet and Reserved' is how you described yourself in the past, right?"

"Hm? Yeah.."

Daemon mentioned his phase to her, but never went in detail. 'I wonder why though? Kids don't develope personalities off genetics, right? Did I do something when evolving them..'

What he said was concerning, but Mi grabbing his finger distracted him. 'Such small hands..' Mi smalls eyes were looking at him with a worried expression. 'And...shes always sad..' She would rarely get happy.

"I'm kind of jealous.."

Yumi pouted at seeing that Daemon got all the attention. She birthed them for God's sake! She atleast thought they would treat her with the some respect.

"Haha.... Don't be."

Daemon put his head forward to kiss the small back hand of the child Lamia. Seeing this, Yu seemed to have pouted too. 'They..are 3 days old. How much do they grow in such a small time?'

"Yumi, you made me a happy man. You blessed me with two beautiful daughters that are loveable and cute..."

Daemon started talking out of his heart. His words made Yumi slightly blush at his words. It also made Hestia look over too.

"And you, in general, Yumi. Being in your presence makes me love sick. You make me nervous, making me want to impress you at any moment I can.."

"D-Daemon. Why...the sudden words?.."

"I.."

Daemon put his hands up to his face.

"I Just Wanted You To Know."

The impending future was that of a sorrow one. Death of loved ones and destruction was all that laid in his path. He didn't know at the moment, but times like this could only last forever in an illusion.

And what brought that death was Daemon not being able to control....his fears.

"I'm back.."

Murasaki walked in the room with equipment. When she did, she instantly noticed the sorrowful mood.

"What? Did someone die?"

Daemon rubbed his eyebrows and looked back up. Out the corner of his eye, he could see a confused look on Yumi's face. 'Sorry. I didn't mean to make the atmosphere so gloomy..'

Murasaki started setting up the equipment. Daemon put on black Jean's with black boots. He wore a white, unbuttoned shirt that revealed his abs when the wind blew. He undid his pony tail, making his long, white hair go down to his shoulders.

He took the ring off that the old man gave him and more accessories. He wanted to look as least threatening as possible. 'Everyone...' Daemon kept one one accessory which was a necklace.

The design was a chain that was slightly broke. He always wore it on special occasions.

'Please Forgive Me For All My Lies Up Until Now.'
