《The demon of the past》Chapter 3: a friend shrouded in darkness.
Advertisement
Haze headed north at lightning fast speed since he wanted to hurry and get back to Nora. As he neared the den of the Razoreels he noticed a dark shadow oozing black deathly miasma up in the sky. The creature emitting the dark miasma was a Deathvold a flying beast with wings the size of skyscrapers. At this point Haze is around a 5 days walk from Vale.
As the giant beast descended from the sky to examine the lone demon it let out a laugh.
“Haze! How good to see you again old friend!” The giant beast said as her words echoed through the now deathly quiet plain that used to be a forest.
“Ah Deasi how wonderful to see you again.” Haze said as he went closer to the giant Deathvold.
“Last time I saw you was when you left to find a purpose other than fighting. Where have you been all of these years?”
“Stuck in a tomb gathering dust. A powerful sealing Faeling trapped me in it.” Haze said with annoyance clear in his speech.
“Ha ha ha I never thought you would be sealed in a tomb by a sealing Faeling. The Faeling with the lowest life span.”
“If only I had a sealing resistant gem on me at the time then I wouldn't have been sealed.”
(I'll go into more detail about the gems later on.)
“How did you escape the tomb and when did you escape?” asked while leaning her head slightly to the left.
“A passing adventurer lifted the seal from the outside, seems like she had some sort of object that could negate the seals power.”
“Oh lucky you.” She said with faint smile.
“Would you like to accompany me once again old friend?”

“Who are you calling old? And no, I will be off on my own. I have got some litter to take care of, not like they have got much to be afraid of, but still I can't let them kill off everything near my nest.”
“Oh wow I never would have guessed you had become a mother. Well I will hope to see you later then.”
The giant beast soared off into the distance and Haze continued on until he found the large den of Razoreels. He covered himself in molten rock using a spell called Ashen death. This made him sweat a bit but was not even close to the hell flames he had once been tortured with. The ground melted away as he neared the now active den. As the Razoreels now poured out of the den they started to burn as the intense heat was too much for them. They were not boiling as the Razoreels held no liquids inside their bodies to prevent them from shocking themselves.
After Haze was sure he had burned them all he once again ran at top speeds back to Vale. Once back in Vale he sought out the guild and quickly went to check up on Nora. She was sitting quietly and eating some dry bread in a room. The room was meant for discussion amongst a person who requests aid from the guild and the representatives of the guild.
Nora beamed as she saw Haze and quickly and a bit clumsily walked up to him and hugged him.
They went to the counter and Haze turned in the mission. He had of course collected a piece of the burnt Razoreels. After Haze turned the parts in the guild analysed them using an amulet enchanted with an appraisal enchantment. There are different appraisal enchantments because if you made an enchantment too powerful it would break the item and so they have to limit them to specific genres.

The amulet used just now was beast appraisal enchanted.
And as promised Nora got 30 gold and the guild got the rest. Haze grabbed another mission and then left the building with Nora to get her sister.
…
Tada! I am back with another chapter :D. You didn't think I was going to be gone forever did you?
Anyway sorry for the awful speed of updating I am currently having some issues real life. But on the bright side summer break is going to be full of updates if I can get to it. Also I do believe I can put up 2 more chapters this weekend if I don't play too much. Otherwise I will put it out after the weekend. Also sorry for the lack of action in this fiction I am not great at writing action but there will be some exciting stuff the next 2 chapters I hope.
