"Stop following me!" Asher yelled, his patience running thin. He had let it slide for too long because she had done a lot for him.  But now she was everywhere, suffocating him. 

"I’m only trying to protect you," she responded. 

Asher sighed, running a hand through his hair. "I need some space, alright? I can take care of myself."

“Of course not, you know that’s not the reason…”

“Then why do you want me to stop following you?”

“I’m just going to the restroom, for God’s sake!” He massaged his temple, clearly at his wit’s end.

“Oh, you should have said that earlier.” She giggled, the earlier tension melting away.

“I did,” he sighed in defeat.

"Yeah, I felt it." He stopped flying, hovering in the night sky, his eyes fixed on the distant light. "There's something in that direction—something even more dangerous than the Sorcerer King."

(Interesting. From the story you told me about Lucy, she didn't sound all that strong, so I assumed the demons here were far weaker than in Eryx. But that might not be the case.)

Asher nodded, then began explaining. "Yeah, she told me she was in a weakened state when she came to the human world. "

"Plus, I think everything that happened over the last five years has increased the overall power of the demons—just like what happened with the humans."
