3rd person POV:

In an abandoned house a slowly dying Pluto sat slumped against a wall.

Cia: If this is the attitude you have with searching for that brat, then no wonder you lost him in the first place.

Cia said, entering the room to find Pluto pale.

Cia:?!

Cia: Whoa, you don't look so good...

Pluto: It's the venom... It's as if the venom is its own demon... Acting like a parasite by consuming my energy to grow stronger.

Cia: Do you want me to get you some blood?

Pluto: No... It'll only grow the venom... I've currently tamed it by not using any power.

Pluto: Though that may buy me some time, I doubt I'll be capable of surviving a year.

Cia: Tch... Shit... What do we do?

Patra: Nothing.

Two of their fellow wardens entered the room the two were in.

Azell: What do you think Patra?

Patra, having walked over to Pluto, quickly examined him.

Patra:... He will need something powerful to remove the venom.

Azell:... If I recall, there were demons living in some kind of dessert.

Azell: Amongst them was a demon more powerful than myself.

Azell: Take him there. Offer our assistance to overthrow the Demon Queen in exchange for saving Pluto's life.

Cia: Are we even sure they're still there?

Patra: It's better than nothing.

Cia:... I'll get it done.

Picking up Pluto, Cia prepares to leaves.

Cia: Come on, I'll tell you all about thigh crushing.

Pluto:(looks to Patra) Please... Give me someone else.
