Snippet #2397056

"Madam Edith," a man said from across the hallway. A young girl with short hair, wings, and a tail stood before him. A knife was held loosely in her hand and as she turned toward the man, he could see that it was covered in blood. A horribly disfigured form sat slumped over in a chair. It was impossible to tell what the poor creature had looked like before Edith had gotten to it.

“Rabbit!” Edith chirped cheerfully. She dropped the knife and turned around, revealing her blood soaked dress. She skipped over to the man and wrapped her arms around him in a tight embrace. Rabbit, the human man, tried his best not to gag as the blood got all over his clothes.

“Madam…there has been an incident in the-“ before he could finish Edith unfurled her batwings and wrapped them around herself. In the next moment she was gone. Rabbit looked at the poor soul Edith had finished torturing and shook his head with a sigh.

Edith arrived at the scene moments after Evans had arrived in Eurus. Demons and humans alike stood around the young man and the dead demon, crowding around the two as if they had never seen death before. Edith elbowed her way to the front of the crowd and took in the scene.

The demon beneath the young human…she recognized him. ‘I haven’t seen him in nearly a hundred years!’ Edith thought as she pushed forward in the crowd. ‘And if he’s here…if he’s dead and he’s here…That must mean…’ Edith looked at the young man with wide eyes. He was the savior, the reincarnation of their creator. The one being in all of Tellus, no, in the entire universe that could save the demon’s.

Nox…

Another demon was about to reach forward and grab Evans when Edith rushed forward and stabbed him through the chest with her barbed wing. Edith then walked over to Evans and stood above him, extending out a hand for him to hold. “You’ve come…at last…you’ve come.”
