Day 362

After Asmodeus kidnapped Keitaro, the first thing I did was go to Keitaro's house. I just need one of his personal belongings. I was searching in his room when suddenly.

H: Cornelia!

C: Hannah. What is it? I'm in a bit of a hurry.

I didn't want to worry her. So I just pretended as if nothing had happened.

R: Maybe you didn't notice but, Keitaro was on the phone with us the whole time. We heard everything.

C: Then you know I don't have time.

H: At least you should have told us something. We are your friends.

C: I know, and I'm sorry.

R: How can we help?

C: You can't. We are talking about a demon.

R: There is no way we are letting you do this alone. Now tell us what you need.

C: Fine. Grab my knife from the kitchen.

While Ryan ran to the kitchen, I grabbed one of Keitaro's toy plushies. It was the bunny plushie he got from me at Halloween.

R: Here you go.

A: Are you gonna cut that? It's one of his favorite things.

C: I know. I'm not gonna cut it.

Instead, I cut my own hands. Silver blood bled out like water.

H: What are you doing?!

C: Blood sacrifice. Aarhku nataram kadija na aanamata .Iblaq ealatba bihar nazah.

The blood turned black as it touched the plushie. Slowly the blood formed into words.

C: The Spire of Draher.

H: The what?

C: It's like a tower in the middle of a forest. I'm heading there, don't follow me.

H: But-

C: Just don't. I don't know what kind of traps might be there. Just wait here.

They all nodded. This is all up to me. I opened the window in Keitaro's room and jumped out. I flew to the Spire of Draher. When I got there multiple low demons, and imps waited for my arrival.

C: You want to play dirty. Then let's play dirty.

They are easy to kill, but there were many of them. The fight went on for hours. By the time the last died, it was already around 2 AM. In the darkness, there was only the spire that lit up the night sky. Just wait for me Keitaro. I'm almost there.
