Tragedy:Anyways,who do you pick?

????:Underling,can we make him  disloyal?

Tragedy:On it!
-------------------------------
You are a demon underling,in service to the overlord.You aren't particularly strong but you aren't weak either,or atleast that's what your friends say.

Your job is to keep humans away,it's unbearably boring.Heroes rarely come the way to defeat the overlord anyway,so it's a lot of standing in one place and doing nothing.You feel like you're gonna go crazy if you don't get a break,so you decide to ask the overlord for a day off.He gives you an earful about responsibility and unquestioning obedience.After he finishes his lecture he sends you back to your post.

What does he know about anything?Who made him the boss of everyone?You complain about the overlord to your friends.They agree that he is a snob and totally deserves to be kicked off his throne.

You only wanted to vent your frustrations,but the conversation turned into a assassination plot.You should probably steer this in a responsible direction...

????:let's not

No!You're sick of this overlord holding you and friends back,you agree that it's the time for a new change in management and your friends suggest maybe YOU should be the next overlord!You like the sound of that,you announce your first act of rebellion is...To take that day off you wanted.

Your friends aren't very impressed with your choice,but you assure them that you'll talk more about the assassination plot when you get back,which satisfies them.

So you sneak out of the castle to have some fun.The change of atmosphere excites you,you spend time rolling in the grass wild and free.As you make your way along the path to the nearby human village, you encounter a villager.He introduces himself to you,you
should consider your options.

????:Listen to him

You're in a good mood today,and are rather curious about what the villager has to say,he tells you that his destiny was to be captured by a demon and get saved by a hero,but she's impatient and decides to try speed things along by meeting one,sounds interestring.Besides you have nothing better to do,satisfied with your day out,you take the villager back to the castle and present him to the overlord.

The overlord asks where you found this villager,knowing full well that you left the castle when you weren't supposed too.You apologise to him and surprisingly the overlord nods and says everything's cool as long as you listen to him from now on,you're really impressed at what an easy going boss he is,you mention how you couldn't believe you and your friends ever considered overthrowing her!He gives you a look and you say,'that was just a joke, of course!',he gives you a smile and dismisses you,you decide it's about time to take a nap.

You don't get to sleep long.Your friends wake you up,rude,one of them is stepping on you pretty hard,you ask them what their deal is.They say they're planning a whole revolution,they're gonna get rid of the current overlord and put a new ruler in place.They want to hear if your in or out,and being a pretty lazy underling,you of course reply with 'that sounds like a lot if trouble,how 'bout we just skip it instead?',your friends question your loyalty to their cause.

????:He's not so bad...

Your friends seem pretty disappointed,they apologise to you but before you can ask them what they're sorry about...One of them grabs you by the neck,'someone who's still loyal to the overlord...Really has no place in this castle,you understand right?',as they say that their claws tighten around your neck.You don't bother to struggle,you're outnumbered.You already know how things like this will end...

'This is a pretty messed up thing to do to a friend' you tell them...They dig their claws into your throat in response.

FAITHFUL UNDERLING ENDING
-------------------------------
?:ok now who do you pick?

????:uh...Hero,can he be dutiful,can the demon underling not be hungry and can the villager be...

I then whisper what I want in his ear

?:sure!
-------------------------------
You are the hero,you like to think of yourself as a pretty reliable and swell guy.Your life is pretty normal aside from the heroic quests fighting monsters and stuff.

You are told that a villager from your village has been captured by the demon overlord,who even builds a village right next to castle full of demons anyway?You don't get it.You are happy to protect the townspeople,you were born for this role!

You head off on your adventure until you notice there are demon soldiers blocking your path,you could kill them to gain experience...
-------------------------------
????:CUT THROUGH!
-------------------------------
You quickly kill the vile creatures and carry on your journey,you feel much stronger now!After a long walk you make it to the castle's front gates where you are faced with an army of demons that look quite intimidating...
-------------------------------
????:um...kill
-------------------------------
...This is what must be done to save the villager,you gather all your courage and slay the demons one by one,these are evil demons anyway!The world is safer with them gone,that's what you tell yourself as you slice through each and every one of them on the way to the overlord's chamber.

You open the door to see the villager and the overlord standing next to each other looking out the window,you all stare at each other for a moment,this is you chance...
-------------------------------
????:kill him I guess
-------------------------------
You lunge forward to put an end to the evil overlord...

But your blade pierces the villager's instead,he has sacrificed himself to protect this demon.It takes you a moment to recover from the shock,the overlord wails...'WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!',you're not sure if the question is directed at you,the overlord strikes at you with vengeful rage,you perry...And he is slain.

Your sword feels heavy,you look at your hands and clothes...Blood,so much blood.You look at the fallen villager,wondering what to tell the townspeople,why would he protect the overlord?He must've been brainwashed by demonic magic...You pick up the overlords head,wrapping it in your Cape and begin your journey back to town...You'll say you're too late, and nothing could have been done to save him...But the overlord is slain.There will be a celebration.

LOYAL HERO END

?:Well that's what you get for making the villager maytr
