"What do you mean?" Botis asked when Dantalion explained what role Botis should play in his plan. A role of a knight, a protector. And why are their goals the same, who is this person? He knew Dantalion wasn't going to give the answer to his relationship with Ciara, so he better ask her... although it might bring her in danger if he does so. Dantalion was right about having to protect her from any harm, but why would he want that?
The demon narrowed his eyes, still having the 'kill you' attitude towards Dantalion. He was on the edge of hurting Dantalion, but he was limited to doing nothing on order of his mistress. Dantalion said him to kill anyone who tries to harm her, as Ciara won't give the orders herself which will lead to her demise.
"I only take orders from my mistress, not such a filthy scum like you." he answered. He sensed Ciara couldn't hold the portal for much longer and stood up. Dantalion said his goodbyes to him, lastly warning him about Alruby and the Moonlight Rose. He knew Alruby posed a threat, but he'd keep the other name into consideration. With the the cabin exploded, leaving Botis alone in the rocky deserted Underworld. He sighed and flew up to the portal in the sky, back to the surface.
"I'm back mistress." he landed and his wings disappeared "Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long, I hope I didn't consume too much energy."
"Anyways, there is so..." Botis sighed "It were just some pesky jester demons... it was nothing to worry about, I scared them off, they won't return." he lied to her, thinking by himself why he would ever to that. Something inside him told him not to tell about Dantalion... something told him that something bad would happen if he would, so kept it on low profile... for now.
