The First Summoning

From behind the smaller bird demon, who he learned his name was Rok, another demon ordered to let Botis in. He recognized the voice all too well, but couldn't believe it until he saw him. Lord Dantalion. The high-class demon summoned a chair and Botis proceeded to walk, ignoring the servant of Dantalion. He sat down on the chair and he got offered some time.

"I'll pass. I haven't got much time." he looked around at the poor cabin. "So you're living here now, guess this is the only place where you can't be find after what happened." Botis spread his legs and leaned with his hands on his knees and looked Dantalion straight in the eyes.

"Okay, I know we aren't on the best terms, especially after that, but there is no reason for you to spy on my mistress. So spill it... what were you planning to do with Ciara and why?" he asked the demon. Personally he still couldn't believe that he was even around in the Underworld, all his other servants are probably dead or still at his fortress, and yet he only chose this weakling to tag along, unless other demons were hiding out in the small cabin. After what happened between the two of them, he would never imagine to see him again.

The First Summoning

His mistress asked him if he could go after the two unknown demons that just had fled from their home after peeking on Ciara as she was sleeping. He also was wondering what their intentions were, maybe they weren't as bad as they seemed like or maybe they were more evil that they wanted something more than peeking on a young woman.

"I will go down there for you mistress, but you better not follow me. The Underworld is a weird place, and it even could be for me if I now happen to land in an unrestricted area, or the property of a stronger and higher ranked demon." he sighed "But I'll find out what those two were doing, for you. No killing, only talk. I'll try to be back soon, just give me a warning if you can't hold it anymore." he said, hinting at a mental form of communication between the two.

Botis jumped down into the pentagram and descended into an unknown place in the Underworld. He looked around and saw many rocks around him, towering into mountains in the distance. He looked around and saw a cabin of sorts in the distance and walked to it. It was likely the place where the two demons resided. In his mind he would just set the cabin on fire, or tear down the door and barge in. However this time he just knocked, "hoping" to have a simple conversation.

He waited and the door opened, a small boy standing in front of him with feathered arms. "Where is your master, I have some questions."

The First Summoning

As Botis asked them what they normally do in the free time, Cherub and Surgat answered that they usually play with the Fae of the forest. However such a thing cannot be done today duo to the fight they had earlier. A clash of good and evil caused the Fae to flee and get to safety. Botis himself had never seen a Fae, he knew of their existence but unfortunately never got to see one up close.

''but something else to do right now'' the two said in harmony as they thought of something. Botis sighed. He headed towards the couch and sat down on it, the little two joining him, despite him not wanting to. What had gotten into them that they suddenly acted so normal around him. He still was one of Solomon's keys, a demon ranking far above them.

"Perhaps we could..." Botis started but then widened his eyes and sat still. "... there is someone near." he said under his breath.

''Count Botis! come help me. there are some more attackers'' he heard his mistress shout from above. Botis, having anticipated the attackers in some way, immediately jumped up from the couch and stormed outside, leaving the twerps confused behind.

"Why don't we get to join..." Cherub said with a sad face.

"Don't act like a child, this way we have more time to relax." Surgat answered.

Botis was outside and spread his demonic wings and kicked himself off the ground into the air. He joined Ciara who was already flying in the air. The young boy who flew before him turned around, pulled his eyelid and stuck out his tongue before quickly following the other unknown figure into a pentagram. The portal quickly closed after the two had entered. The demon turned around to his mistress.

"What was that all about?" he asked her.

The First Summoning

Botis walked the stairs up to his room. He could feel his mistress watching him from behind, knowing her she probably had decorated his room in her own silly way. He continued through the hallway until he reached the door behind which his chamber was, as pointed out by his mistress last time. To be honest, he expected a room with flora decoration and perhaps even childish. However he opened the door and saw a large room in front of him, one bigger than he had expected.

Most of the furniture were made out of wood as he had expected, but they weren't ugly or anything. In fact they seemed as if they were made by professional people. The bed had a sheet made out of linen, a perfect fabric to sleep under. He plumped down on bed and inspected the rest of the room. There was indeed some vegetation but not as much as he had expected. He actually found it quite the peaceful place to rest him, even though it was completely the opposite of what he was used to sleep in. His own chamber was dark and isolated with Victorian English furniture made out of steel, a hard design contrary to this soft choice of design.

Botis quickly fell into sleep on this soft bed and took a small nap. He quickly awakened again and decided to head downstairs. As he made his way through the hallways he heard water from another chamber, probably someone was taking a shower... his mistress? He immediately visualized it and also immediately threw it out of his mind, he shouldn't think about such vulgar things. He continued walking downstairs where he found the twerps.

"Sugar, Cherry, is the mistress taking a shower?" he waited for a reply expecting a yes and continued. "So what do you guys usually do now... because I'm lost about what to do."

The First Summoning

They walked into the kitchen and Botis continued on his mistress comment on his castle. "Assure me my manor is grand, it's not really a castle though. But there are a lot of demons who despise me in the Underworld, I haven't been the nicest in the latest years, but even when I was younger I was a bit of a rascal... I don't even know why I'm telling you all this." he said a little bit embarrassed.

He looked away from his mistress. "I'll go upstairs, Surgat told me that you decorated my room, so I'm going to see how it looks." he said returning to his regular uninterested tone of voice near the end f his sentence.

The First Summoning

ugh, I'll post soonish

Tonight!

The First Summoning

Botis looked at the bird as it went back to the Underworld. He sighed and wondered how such a beautiful demon could reside in such a wretched place as the Underworld while it is able to stay on the surface. But then again how could a demon without an owner roam over the surface... or is there something he missed? He looked at his mistress who wanted to go home and asked whether he wanted to go along or return to the Underworld.

"I'm fine going along with you, as long as my presence isn't too much for you to handle." he said, hoping that he could go along.

"You know..." he continued. "For a mortal to enter the Underworld is dangerous... none of my previous owners have dared to do so but one... and that didn't end all that well. I would prefer if you'd never went to that place, no matter what business one could have there."

The First Summoning

Botis dusted himself off. "Nope I'm A-okay, same goes for my maidens." he sighed "really disappointed that Alruby had to be Rico's father, Iw would've killed him on sight in a different situation."

He went back on the topic of the demonic bird. It was strange for a demon to yield such an appearance, and also to still be roaming the surface after the passing of its master. "Is that demon now under new command? It is strange for it to be here." he mentioned. "Shall we follow it? I'm rather curious to find out."

The First Summoning

Ciara managed to hop onto her own stick and soar through the sky along with him. They had gotten rid of the witch hunters by now, that he knew. Despite them being excellent hunters they cannot do much when they escape through the air. His mistress complimented his maidens. They were indeed quite powerful, especially Unterkühling because of her peculiar origins.

"Yes they are indeed." as he said that he spotted his main maiden, Ketten, and landed on the spot where she was with the two undertwerps. His mistress, as expected, embraced the two in a firm hug while he himself turned to Ketten.

"Thank you, you are dismissed." he said. Ketten nodded. A spiked coffin appeared out of the ground where Ketten stepped into. The door closed and took her into the ground through the pentagram again. As Ketten disappeared Botis saw that his mistress had caught air of another creature near them. A white bird.

"What or who is that?" Botis questioned.

The First Summoning

When Ciara called out for him, Botis looked into the sky. There he saw holy magic being practiced, magic he could never use even if he trained for eons. His magic and the magic of the witch hunters, priests, holy maidens, they were all the exact opposite of the magic practiced in the Underworld by the lords and counts. The spear crashed down from the heavens right above Ciara.

Unfortunately none of his magic abilities were designed to stop such a powerful spell, he could escape it, but never defend both of them with it. Luckily for him, what he lacked in magic, he could lend from his maidens, and he knew exactly who to summon for this ordeal.

"Die Mädchen der Hölle, rufen ich dich."

"Mädchen von Ketten"

"Mädchen von Unterkühling"

Like the first time a coffin with spikes appeared out of the ground and opened, Ketten being the one who stepped out of it. However a maiden, one new to his mistress, also appeared. A spot on the ground froze and ice crawled up, slowly manipulating itself into a humanoid form until the outer layer broke and the maiden was revealed, the Mädchen von Unterkühling. She was a woman with a pale expression, her eyes had no pupils and were completely white. Her platinum blonde hair was tied back into a knot. She wore a beautiful light-blue kimono glaced with a layer of ice and transparent cloth hanging under her sleeves. Little icicles could be seen formed on her pale skin as well.

"Ketten grab these two little runts and use your grapple hook to get as far away from here as possible." Botis said to his main maiden. Ketten immediately wrapped one chain around Cherub and Surgat and with the other chain latched onto a far away spot and pulled them away from the scene. Botis turned to Unterkühling.

"You stay here and defend us from the spear of Michael. Your magic is the only thing that can stop it."

She bowed deeply "Please master..." she looked at Ciara "mistress... stay close." were the words she spoke. Botis and Ciara did as she said and were next to her, feeling a cold chill being emitted from her body, causing a slight shiver down the spine on Botis. The spear closed in. Unterkühling held her hand up in the air and send out a blast of ice which halfway split to all sides and created a huge sphere of multiple ice layers around Ciara and Botis.

"This should keep us from gaining a lethal wound mistress." Botis said to his mistress, he then turned to Unterkühling "Once the spear impacts I send you back as we need to make a quick escape."

Not a second after that the spear crashed down on the sphere, going through the layers while losing its momentum and deceased its impact. The last layer broke as well as the tip of the spear and the parts of the spear were tossed to both sides, not hitting Botis nor Ciara. Two explosion were next to them. Botis quickly desummoned Unterkühling who turned into a puddle of water and subtracted into the ground. He grabbed Ciara, sprouted his wings, and made their escape.

"Grab your stick, we move faster separate." he said to her "Ketten should be close, keep an eye out for her and the twerps."
