The Seductress

The Seductress watched as Eos darted for the little sparrow, then as he sucked all the warmth from its body. She looked with a frown at the scene, she did not enjoy death. It was so…. Barbaric. Defiantly not becoming of a princess. As she watched she wrapped the fish in some of the cloth her was wearing, as to carry it without loosing the use of one of her hands by holding the fish.

Then suddenly Vanalee flew off, completely ignoring the Seductress. The Seductress thought this was incredibly rude and made a sour face as she watched her fly away. “Vanalee is so elegant in that ‘I could rip you apart then eat you’ kind of way. No sarcasm intended.” the Seductress thought to herself as she changed her sour face to a combative smirk.

The Seductress looked around at her fellow demons, feeling a little strange. None of them even knew her real name was Akara. Akara herself had almost forgot it after not speaking to anyone who knew it for three years. She warily looked over to Nyx who changed herself into that beautiful form. So very different from the monster she was before, so much less threatening. Akara smiled knowingly at the pretty demon. She knew that game. Look pretty and smile, no one will suspect a thing. Yet another reason to pay her extra close attention.

Without the Seductress realizing it, Tanis had climbed the wall and had transformed into her rarely seen human form. She changed with such ease and swiftness, how very frightening it was. Then Tanis addressed the group with a series of questions concerning the coming humans and commented on the weirdness of the frozen caucus. The Seductress nodded her head in agreement. It was quite weird and he should refrain from doing it in the presence of ladies.

Eos responded with a "Sorry. I'll try to be more normal next time I dispose of my frozen carcasses." Akara was amused by his response. How terribly not confrontational of him. Akara liked to be around Eos, as he was not as intimidating to her as say, Nyx. He sucked out the heat from living creatures and while he could do it to herself if he wanted, he probably would not want to as much. This is because aquatic demons are a cold blooded demon race. This may be since they are so much like fish and live deep in the cold ocean. Either way, Akara carried little heat and never felt as tempting to the Fireling while Nyx was the perfect predator of the Seductress’s secret largest weakness, fear.

The Seductress then decided to think on the questions Tanis had asked. “Well hello dear Tanis, it’s quite rare to see you in such a form.” remarked the Seductress with a charismatic tone. “I only know the name of mine. A… Landon Hawthorne? If you would like to see what some of them look like, they are over there” Said Akara as she pointed towards the humans.

The second part of Tanis’s questions intrigued the Seductress. It was true, what reasonable human would willingly come to live with demons? Did they really know what they were getting themselves into? “You know Tanis I hadn’t thought of that… I doubt any of them know what they are getting themselves into or they wouldn’t be coming here. What reasonable or sane human would come live with demons? Unless of course, they are all insane? Wouldn’t that be so like Drol to send us defective humans…” remarked the Seductress as she looked down to shoot a glare at Drol. She quickly looked back up, as to some how separate herself more from that human with the strange eyes.
