[IC] The ultimate goblin king-beware his powers

[Sharidi37495]

Cesidia folds her hands in front of her. "I'm listening."

[Vampiretwilight]

Petunia blinked. She frowned. She raised an eyebrow and crossed her arms.
"Whatever could that be?"
Her eyes narrowed.

[Shadow Dragon]

"Have you not heard of a Devils Deal?" He seems surprised.

[Sharidi37495]

Cesidia's eyes widen slightly. "Petunia, get out of here! Why? What do you have to gain in helping us? Is a soul truly all you desire?"

[Vampiretwilight]

Petunia had her horse back up a bit. She narrowed her eyes.
"i'd rather marry that monster than make such a deal."
She was honest when she said that. It was clearly not a lie.

[Sharidi37495]

Cesidia's eyes flash in warning. "Petunia. Excuse her," she turns to the demon.

[Shadow Dragon]

He nods to Cesidia. "The more souls I have, the more power that comes with it. I must fulfill whatever demands are made during the deal. They cannot be broken." He looks at Petunia in curiosity. "It need not be your soul."

[Sharidi37495]

Cesidia looks down a little. "Must I make my decision now?"

[Vampiretwilight]

Petunia narrowed her eyes.
"nor will it be anyone elses'. I forbid it."
She gave her friend a warning look. A young lady was peaking out from behind a tree, watching them.

[Shadow Dragon]

"You may not be willing, princess, but others will be." He smiles, bearing shark-like fangs. "Ask for all the souls before you, and the mortals cry out their defiance. Ask for one, and they fight for the right to be the self sacrificing hero."

[Vampiretwilight]

Petunia narrowed her eyes.
"I do not allow others to make such selfish sacrifices."

The girl kept watching. Margaret had been curious about what was wrong with the princess and such, and followed them all out to the courtyard. Now, she was spying on them, shock entering her eyes when she heard everything. She was tempted to make that deal to help them, even if it meant something...bad, for herself, in the end.

[Sharidi37495]

Cesidia inclines her head slightly. "Very well, Petunia." She glances at the demon with a faint roguish grin as if to say 'we're not done talking'.

[Shadow Dragon]

"You do not control others. There will always be another to take my deal." His hands glow with bloody red flames.

[Vampiretwilight]

"I may not control others, but if they wish to help their kingdom, they shall not sacrifice themselves in such a manor before they can."
Petunia narrowed her eyes. She nodded once at her friend.

Margaret took a step back. She gasped when a twig snapped.

[Shadow Dragon]

He hisses, soft and low. "Would you rather I summon a force powerful enough to level you and the goblins both?"

[Sharidi37495]

Cesidia sighs, but she's stubborn in her decision. Her head snaps up when she hears a twig snap.

[Vampiretwilight]

Petunia narrowed her eyes and glared. Her eyes darted to the right when she heard the twig snap. Margaret ran off. But, she was thinking about making that deal against the wishes of the princess. Anyone who was a mind reader would know that much.

[Sharidi37495]

Cesidia glances at Petunia. "Leave. I can handle this."

[Shadow Dragon]

"Not if you're thinking of fighting me you can't."

[Sharidi37495]

Cesidia glances at him. "And if I don't?" her words are quiet.
