Chapter 121: No Rest For The Attractive

Bane walked into the tunnel, and the temperature increased drastically.

'You know, I think that this is a trap,' Onyx said, but Bane ignored him and kept walking.

"You know? I think that this is all dumb. Why, you might ask?" Bane growled, and then held out his finger that was lit up. "First, the girls were taken from what we assumed to be the nest, right? The talking birds nest... yes?"

'From what we have assumed.'

Bane nodded. "Good, Good. So, why did the bird come to hide in a cave?" Bane asked, and then gestured around the small space of the tunnel with his lit finger. "This looks like a real pain in the ass to get in for a bird so big, right?"

Onyx was silent for a moment. 'It is possible that the Demon Phoenix could have transformed into a humanoid form, making passage much simpler.'

Bane nodded. "Exactly. I think it would be best if we prepared for that."

'Why?' Onyx asked, and Bane sighed.
