"Human girl. There's a human girl..."

The voice of the castle watch echoed softly in Akyrimos' head. Humans were not allowed past the bridge, even more so inside the city. Any demon would tear the creature apart in the interest of protecting his trade. To have made it into his palace would take skill and stealth. An assassin. Akyrimos reached for his father's sword, Azazel and held it at the ready. To allow the human to come to him would give her the upper hand. He would have to bring the fight to the assassin in a preemptive attack.

Akyrimos followed the voice of the castle watch to his father's old bedroom. His heart began to beat faster. Perhaps this was the same assassin who had taken the blade to his father. Perhaps he could extract some information out of her before he killed her...

Akyrimos burst into the room, blade at the ready. The assassin, he observed, could almost pass for a demon, had she been several feet taller. Perhaps that was how she managed to sneak in.

"Where and what have you done to my father?" Akyrimos demanded.
