A Bet with Slutty Evil Being!

Chapter 17 17: Letter!



The letter said it should be hidden in a random dune in the Sahara.

No one, not even the most determined angel or demon would search every single dune in this vast desert.

The letter had thankfully given coordinates as to the general area of which the... Grimoire has lain.

Asmodea followed the coordinates to an unassuming area of the desert. How she was supposed to find the... Grimoire now was beyond her, but the answer soon came to her.

"It is good to see you again Asmodea, hello." A voice pierced the winds of the desert, reaching Asmodea's ears. She flapped her wings until she reached the spot where the voice had originated. Out of nowhere.

After a couple of seconds of waiting, a figure rose from the sand, a figure with wings.

It was Tozomat. He was known for only ever saying goodbyes and hellos during his service to the previous Lord of Lust, so Asmodea did not wait for him to speak.

"Tozomat, I have not seen you in eighteen years, 'tis good to see you too. I assume you have the object in interest with you safe?"

Tozomat nodded, stretching his arms to an unusual length into the dune he rose from. Out came a lock box and a key.

Asmodea needed no confirmation as to whether the... Grimoire was in the box or not, she could feel the power seeping out the edges.

Tozomat's arm stretched again, handing the box and key to Asmodea.

"Before you go Tozomat..." Asmodea requested, "I need to return to the Land of Lust and herald the return of our lord. Also, find Azodan and everyone still loyal to the rightful heir, and ask them to make sure no demonic force rises against Alex, that's our lord's name."

Tozomat replied, "It is good to have a lord with a name, I will do as you ask, goodbye Asmodea." A swirl of purple energy appeared behind Tozomat, which he stepped through, entering the demon world.

He was one of the few demons that could traverse between worlds so easily, one of the reasons why he was trusted with the safekeeping of the... Grimoire.

"Time to return to Alex, I'll have some special homework for him after class tomorrow." Asmodea laughed out loud...

"I feel an energy building up in this region." A veiled figure in white pointed at an area in North America.

"Is it the new Lord of Lust, I do not like letting him gather power there. Our agreement with him was asinine." A different voice veiled in all white spoke out.

A third voice rose, "Yes it is, and a different source of power lies resting there... I believe it to be a white demon."

The second voice spoke, "Ah yes, the so called marriage between the daughter of the Princess of Pride, and the new Lord of Lust. What measures shall we take"

A fourth voice rose above all others, "We will not do anything, we have formed an agreement with the previous Lord of Lust, and our agreement shall not be interrupted. But yes, it would be folly to ignore any possible threat. That is why I would have Aureal watch them for the time being."

A fifth voice entered the scene, "As you command." The fifth voice's source disappeared in a beam of light.

The third voice spoke out in caution, "I do not mean to discredit your orders, but her? Of all the ones we could send... Why her?

The fourth only smiled, "It is not her fault that you all are apprehensive among her. She may have hurt Tineas in a simple duel, but that was because Tineas spoke hurtful words. I believe everyone, Tineas, and Aureal should redeem themselves. Besides, she is quite powerful, and would be able to quell any threat that rises."

All four figures standing in the room were garbed in pure white, feathery wings protruding from their backs, their skin pale, and a golden halo floating above their heads.

The second voice spoke again, "I am against your plan, with all due respect. I do not know how to proceed, but I do not believe sending Aureal as a... The watchdog would help things.

The voices debated for a while longer as a small ray of light surged forward, into the Earth.

The beam of light landed in an inconspicuous area of Alex's town. A figure walked away from the light as it dissipated. A girl walked forward, in regular street clothes, into the direction of Alex's home.

Sunday passed without an event for Alex and Nyssa.

Their morning was spent with Alex clawing his way out of bed from the herculean grip of Nyssa who was still asleep.

Nyssa, when finally roused from her slumber, cooked a breakfast of bacon, cheese, and egg omelets.

She was quite fond of cooking it seemed.

Their afternoon was spent buying clothes for Nyssa, because the garment she had been wearing since they first met was her only outfit.

Nyssa had them both eat out for the evening, at a peculiar French bistro. Nothing interesting happened to them both that day.

Nyssa prodded Alex to let them have sex, but Alex mustered up all the willpower he could so he could get a decent sleep that night.

Ever since he met Asmodea, he had not had a single good night's rest.

And then Monday came, as well as its interesting events.

"Look I need to go to school, and you can't come with me unless you're a student here. And you have to be of age obviously." Alex explained to Nyssa.

Nyssa pleaded back, "I am of age, I was born in the same year as you! Who knows what could happen to you if I can't protect you!"

"I can protect myself, nothing at that school is a threat really, I can handle myself in a fight."
