When the cat's away

{What kind of help may a God want from us?} (Fairy)
{Correct me if i am wrong but you fairies have telepathic connection between each others using plants and trees as medium right?} (Michael)
{As expected of a great arch-devil, you are very well informed... Yes that is the case...} (Fairy)
{So basically you can know what is happening everywhere as long as there's a forests nearby?} (Michael)
{That is correct.} (Fairy)
{Good! I want you all to be my information network...} (Michael)
[...]
{Why should we?} (Fairy)
'I first thought of threatening them but let's try this first.' (Michael)
{You should be well aware of my intentions!? I am with a young elf who's now an orphan because of humans. You as forest fairies you should naturally align toward elves who are forest protector instead of humans who tend to burn and cut them down don't you think?} (Michael)
[...]
{That would be a good assumption...} (Fairy)
{So... Deal?} (Michael)
{What kind of information might you be looking for?} (Fairy)
{Simple really, i want you to find any information about where elves might be hiding, and any suspicious human movements. Ho! And also i would like if you could find an area... Well guarded by natural defense like mountain or ravines, with very fertile grounds and ancient giant forests. If possible away from any other settlement...} (Michael)
{Hummm....} (Fairy)
Kiiiguiguiki kiguiguiiikiki ikikikikikik Guiguiikik ikikgui*
The fairies then seemed to deliberate for a while in a language that Lucifer didn't consider as one apparently since i couldn't understand it...
{Deal! But one of us will need to stay with you in permanence to assure constant communications...} (Fairy)

'HO! A new pet !' (Michael)
{Sure! Sure! Which one ? You?} (Michael)
{If that is good with you?!} (Fairy)
{Suuuree!! are you a boy or a girl? And what's your name ?} (Michael)
{I am a girl!!!! Obviously!!!! pout* [...] My name is Epipogiumaphyllum Dendrophylaxlindenii.} (Epipogiumaphyllum Dendrophylaxlindenii)
[...] [...] [...] [...]
'You fucking kidding me right?????' (Michael)
{Epipipo....tamus-chan... rrrrHa!! Fuck it your name is now Cellphone !} (Michael)
{Cellyfone? I like it !!! Hihihihi} (Cellphone) She said clapping her hands and flopping her feet about.
{Huhuhu good good! I like it too! Now let's go Cellphone we live in that cave over there! Careful not to make noises the little one's sleeping.. I'll make presentation tomorrow.} (Michael)
{Okeyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!} (Cellphone) She said while flying all around at high speed seemingly exited by the change in her routine.
{Ho!!ho!! Michael! I have info that some humans are nearby in the forest... It's quite a big group, and well armed...} (Cellphone)
{Huhuhu already very useful my little friend. Thank you! And by the way, when you receive information just let me know by saying 'Dring dring!' can you do that?} (Michael)
{Hihihi! Funny rules! I like it !! Weeee!} (Cellphone) Flying around while screaming weeee*
{Careful i told you the little elf was asleep...} (Michael)
{Oki oki oki sowwy!!! hihihihi!} (Cellphone)
'Sighhh' (Michael)
We then went back in the cave and i made sure the fire was well fed not wanting Ester to be cold while i kept talking with my new Cellphone. It's almost as if i could connect to internet via her... Quite useful.
Sobsobsob*
“mama... [...] papa ... sobsobsob*” (Ester)
'Poor child... still crying in her sleep...' (Michael)
I then get closer to Ester and start playing in her hairs with a few mana thread untangling then, slowly rubbing her back and cheeks. To that she smiled and stopped crying... She seemed reassured...

'I'm all she have now i guess... I wont let anything happen to you Ester. Anyone trying to hurt you will lose their heads.' (Michael)
{Why is she crying ? Why why why why?} (Cellphone)
{Long story, she basically lost her parent recently and only have me now.} (Michael)
{Bhuuuuuu i don't like sad stories...} (Cellphone)
{You asked...} (Michael)
[...]
{Dring! Dring!} (Cellphone)
{Yes?} (Michael)
{The group of humans... Well they appear to all have weapons meant to bring down dragons...} (Cellphone)
Hearing this i then start feeling worries, apprehension then finally... RAGE.
'They would dare!!!? MY DRAGON!' (Michael)
“Humm... Are you ok?” (Cellphone) Said my Cellphone most likely sensing the change in atmosphere while fidgeting.
{Which direction!!! NOW !} (Michael)
{Hiiiiiiiii Thhtthhis way!!!} (Cellphone) She then pointed in a direction.
{Ask your fairies friend to keep an eye on Ester and to tell you if anything happen. You come with me!} (Michael)
{Hu.? Yes?! Hiii ok!} (Cellphone)
We then rushed as quick as i could in the direction she led me to. A few moment later we entered a clearing where we could see a hundred well armed soldiers. They have set up a pile of wood in the entry of a large cave, most likely to smoke the dragon out in the open then use these large ballista to bring him down.
Ballista are basically incredibly large arbalet with also incredibly large arrows. They have around 10 of them layed in a semi-circular formation in front of the cave...
'As strong as he may be, with this much equipment they can definitely hurt him... I don't know about killing him tho.. I think those humans are underestimating the beast living in there...' (Michael)
{What do we do arch-devil Michael?} (Cellphone)
Then as i am expanding my mana over the battlefield with my blood-thirst going trough the roof i answered.
{Today my pet dragon will eat minced meat.} (Michael) Guhuhuhuhuhu*
{Dring dring !} (Cellphone)
{What now?} (Michael)
{A giant earth gecko is attacking the cave, my friends are trying to stop him be they can't do much. Ester is in danger !} (Cellphone)
{FUCKKK! Tell them to hang on! I'm coming straight away!!!!!} (Michael)
I then quickly launch mana spears destroying the 10 ballista before using my entire mana aura covering 200 square feet to vibrate the air and roar these words loud enough to pierce some of the men eardrums.
“DRWAAGON!!! WAYKE UP AND KWILL THE YUMANS!!!” (Michael) Earth shaking low pitch roar.
I then quickly left the area, running in Ester's direction.
'Please let me make it in time!!!!! Ester!!!! That gecko thingy! I'll FUCK IT UP THE ASS!' (Michael)

Hellfire Across the Heavens
Three centuries of FTL space travel has spread the people of Terra far across the stars and for nearly half a millennia people have asked the question, "are we alone in the universe?"

To the other, is a federation of alien races known as the Senate. Mankind rejoiced the knowledge that they were not the only life in a cold dark galaxy. But as first contact was made, ET's who transited into the Warp seemed to disappear without a trace, technologies traded with the other races malfunctioned or refused to work entirely, and simple translation errors led to grave misunderstandings.
