A Demon-Warlock's Companion

-------------

Travis' POV

-------------

"Hello, Travis." Her soft voice rang straight through my ears. She smiled at me, even though I left her.
I left her.
"Y-you remember me?" I internally groaned at my voice betraying me, my words were laced with clouded shock. She nodded gently and begun walking over to me, hips swaying in an entrancing way at the movement. I'm not sure why, but I began walking towards her too, meeting her halfway.

Her soft arms snaked around my neck and she pulled me into a warm hug. I pulled my arms around her waist, careful not to accidentally graze her wings. Both of us leaned into the other's touch, longing for the warmth we gave each other.
"I've missed you.."
The vibrations of her muffled voice had tickled my collarbone a bit, causing my smile to grow even more.

Sages POV

-------------

It had been a short while since I reunited with Travis, and I had indeed found the 'Aphmau' I was told to look for. She seemed to be delighted at the contents of the letter as she read it. Something about an 'alliance'?

I'd only spoken to Lady Aphmau and Travis so far, and to be honest, they were the only ones I wanted to speak to.
I'd told Travis I didn't have long to talk but we exchanged major events that had happened since we last spoke.

"So the Elder is still as awful as ever, huh?" He asked in an unsurprised tone. I nodded in response, given that there weren't many replies available for his questions.
"Did anyone ever find Amora?"
Now that question, that was a hard one to answer. I didn't want to sugarcoat it but I didn't want him to go on a sadness rampage either.

I..I'll give it to him straight, he's a grown man for Enki's sake.

"She's dead."

Laurences POV

-------------

Muffled voices and struggling could be heard from the captains quarters, and I knew that Travis and that flying thing were in there. I have to admit, I was kind of curious as to why a pretty creature like her would be friends with Travis. I mean, he comes off as the 'lone wolf' type despite the countless miserable efforts to flirt with every female in sight.

By now I'd subconsciously moved to the door of the captain's quarters, earning more access with listening to what was going on in there.

"Travis, please! She's gone, there's nothing we can do about it." I heard a feminine voice worriedly say.
There was the sound of what seemed to be a grunt and then a crash. Travis shouting some more, a slight shriek and then another crash. And then-
Pure silence.
There wasn't another sound heard after that, except some heavy footsteps and then something being slammed on wood.

I knew I shouldn't trust him, he's probably knocked her out.
I should-
No. Knocking sounds like the best option.

Travis' POV

-------------

Knock, knock.

Shit! They can't know about this.
"Uh- J-Just a sec!" I managed to blurt out. If I can't turn into my human form again, I'm screwed.

"Y'know, if you just told them I'm sure they'd understand."
"Shush Sage. You aren't helping."  She shook her head at me like a disappointed mother and returned her focus to the map.

Finally.
I'd opened the door to the blue-eyed Casanova himself. He waved and seemed to keep his gaze past my head.
"Oh hey Laurence, can I help you?" He nodded, gesturing for us to go into the room.

After we'd sat down at the desk, he asked about the racket coming from here. Was it really that loud?
"Oh, you see, Sage was being nosy and accidentally dropped a couple books and I slipped on one." Sage looked up at the mention of her name, no clue whatsoever as to what was going on. She soon looked back down at the map after realising though, returning her attention solely to the paper that lay in her hands.

Thank you for reading :)

Ok, lots of different povs in this chapter, along with it being a bit shorter than the last one! I added a bit of mystery to this one too :)

Laurence has now been introduced and Vylad shall be in the near future..but who else will make an appearance?

I'd like to also mention that all the outfits Sage will wear will be hand drawn by me and all put into a chapter either at the end or beginning of this book! :)

As always, please drink water and eat food! <3
