Samuel had never participated in the Great Battle, so it was no wonder he did not realize just how big of an event it was.

The number of essence cores he could sense had doubled. And a portion of them could make him pause.

Even his disciples were excited.

Elizabeth, who just recently gained her sass back, looked incredibly pumped up.

Eishath was much more subdued, but even she had a glint in her that promised much. But that was probably because she was in what Samuel dubbed to be her resting position. On her knees with his penis in her mouth.

A current in the air seemed to be supercharging everyone, and he felt like an observer on the outside looking in.

But what he could do was be excited for his disciples who seemed so intent on challenging whatever the Great Battle was.

"Hey! Eish! Do you think I could make a name for myself?"

This only made Eishath hum a response that led to a pleasant vibration permeating his manhood. Along with this came the whispers of madness that made him want to ravage her. But those were just background noise at this point and he promptly ignored them.

Elizabeth puffed up her cheeks in a pout as she said.

"Come on! Eish! Ever since you joined I think I talked to you for ten minutes total and it has been over a week... Can we please have a genuine conversation? Master! Back me up on this!"

Samuel was so mesmerized to have his spunky disciple back that it took him a second to adjust. To hide his fumble he quickly said.

"Yes! Eishath! I believe a conversation between us is necessary!"

Eishath groaned into his dick before she slowly let with very exaggerated reluctance let the appendage come out of his mouth.

"Fine..." She managed to add a lot of reluctance in the word before she slowly got up.

In this circumstance, Samuel believed that Eishath was probably the best option they had when it came to strategizing. Elizabeth was being an excited child and while he was loathed to admit it, Samuel felt like he was out of his element.

Eishath stood up on her feet, her eyes still locked on his semi-erect penis. Then with a great force of will she turned away from the appendage as he covered it once more with his robes.

Samuel was sitting at the edge of the bed in their small hut which had become his defacto stop as it allowed him to provide for the whims of both his disciples.

Eishath hopped on the bed on his right while Elizabeth was still leaning into him on his left.

"Now that elder sister has ruined her younger's sister's lunch please state what she would know." She said being deliberately formal.

Samuel was not the best judge of moodiness, especially without his crutch, but even he could see that Eishath was annoyed.

But he held firm and stood his ground. She needed to decrease her 'suckling' time and this would be a good first step.

Elizabeth was not having it as she bit back.

"Hey! That was not nice! I have let you be on master for the whole last week! All I am asking for is some advice!"

"Quite alright elder sister. It is her right to boss around the younger sister. After all, seniority is very important." She answered in a voice so professional that it made Samuel blink.

"Ughhh! What did I do?! I just asked for some help!" Elizabeth answered her voice raising an octave and her cheeks puffing.

"This disciple did not say elder sister has done anything wrong. She has just asked what does elder sister wishes to know."

Elizabeth's eyes turned watery and indignant, but not in a way that made him worried.

Instead, it awoke something inside Samuel. He did not know exactly why but he could not resist his next words.

"This master is confused? Does elder disciple Elizabeth not want counsel from younger disciple Eishath?"

"Yes. Younger disciple is very confused as to why elder disciple is being rather difficult. Wouldn't Master agree?" Eishath carried on flawlessly.

"No! Stop it!" Elizabeth in a high squeak as she started hitting his shoulder. But there was no bite or malicious intent behind those blows just an irritation that tickled Samuel in very unique ways.

"What is there to stop Disciple Elizabeth?" Samuel asked his mask held by fraying strings at this point.

"Wahh!!! Master! Stop Bullying me!!!" She shouted in a very very cute manner.

Samuel could no longer hold it in, he burst out laughing and Eishath followed him though hers was more of a giggle.

Elizabeth kept hitting him and crying out 'unfair!' as the laughter bubbled up deep within his throat...

How long had it been since he had laughed like that?

eighty, ninety, a hundred years?

Samuel could not answer that question.

But it had been so long since his heart felt so free.

A smile unlike any before graced his face, one that dazzled both disciples, both demon and human. The latter of him almost forgot her anger as she got lost in the smile

And slowly, very slowly, his soul was awakening.
