As the Minions entered the Mission Outpost, Nightshade and Euphrates sensed their presences.
"SHOW YOURSELVES!" demanded Euphrates
The Minions refused, snatching up Gell, the injured Fairy, Nightshade and then, Euphrates.
Nightshade felt as if he was back visiting in the rift, meeting the shadow beings that allowed him to become a hero.
The Blindness effect wore off, and revealed the group as chained all together, all except Nightshade, who was strapped to a wooden wheel. The minions stepped back as Demon Lord Cezeros stepped into the room.
"So you are the summon who split my Scorger in half."
"Let us go." demanded Nightshade.
"Why would I do that? You are with a stolen fairy, a lesser demon, the wanted daughter of a dead noble, and you, you're the most valuable of all your party, you see summon, you have powers only certain people of this world can wield, so you're going to tell me what exactly makes you so special."
Nightshade didn't answer, he only looked to Gell who was tied to a cross nor lifting his head.
"What do you mean daughter?"
"Aww is this going to break his heart! Gell, the quote, "Son of a dead noble", is actual his daughter, both the noble and his son were kill by me. Didn't think I'd find you did you?" glared Cezeros at his captive.
Tears fell from her eyes as Cezeros walked over to her. "Aw don't cry, it doesn't fit the idiotic daughter trying to rebuild her families legacy."
"HEY! YOUR FIGHTS WITH ME LEAVE HER ALONE!" demanded Nightshade.
"My, my, feisty are you." Grinned Cezeros. "You want me to leave her alone, tell me why you're special and I will."
"I'll do you one better, fight me, see what makes me so special, surely a Demon Lord of your status wouldn't lose to the likes of a summon."
The Demon Lord grinned, and released him from his bonds. "Very well summon, but first what is your name?"
"I am Nightshade! The summon who will end your life, Demon Lord Cezeros!"
The Demon Lord laughed and took his battle stance. "What fun!"
