The demon's servant

Chapter 2: "Your name is..."

They enter a bright room not long after. Two fine-looking women are there waiting for them. Inside this rather large room are a bathtub, a body-length mirror, hair-cutting supplies, and hundreds of different products. Hanging on a rack is a Black suit with a white shirt and black dress pants."Now boy." Lady Salene gestures to the two women, "Please comply with whatever these two girls say. They are often nice and gentle until they are defined. Trust me, you won't enjoy the pain they could cause you without even touching you. I'll see you in two hours. Too-do-loo!" Lady Salene turns around and walks away leaving the boy with the women."Now please get undressed," one asks. The boy hesitates but remembers what she said. He pulls off his cloak. One pulls his arm to sit down to cut his hair while the other turns on the bathtub.Two hours later, Lady Salene enters the room. She over his new look. The boy's shaggy long hair is now cleanly cut and pulled into a ponytail. the suit was tailored to the boy's size, so it felt perfect. He stares into Lady Salene's eyes. "Absolutely stunning!" Lady Salene yells in joy. She clasps the boy's hands. The boy is naturally taller than her, but she is a couple of inches taller due to her heels. "I would say you did wonderful girls! Now, boy. I must give important information. First, your name should be... Um... Aha! Your name will be Hariio! That's perfect. Ok, and I need to prepare for a welcoming gathering. You will need to have the mansion ready by 8 o'clock tonight. Be prepared to welcome forty or so guests. So make plenty of food. Everything you may need should be there. Come on." Lady Salene pulls his hand to lead him outside the room.

 Outside is a large fountain with flowing fire, that strangely flows downward. Little orbs of blue, faint light float around and away from the fountain. "That was you one point." Lady Salene points out. She starts walking toward the flaming fountain. But Hariio stops. She starts to step in but sees that Hariio stopped. She holds out her hand. "It doesn't actually hurt. It's just meant to frighten the souls. Come on." Hariio slowly takes her hand and she pulls him in. Bright flames engulf them and surround them with nothing but bright flames. Suddenly the bright fire disappears and cool air now surrounds them.
