He couldn't believe he was doing this.
Shado, a simple man in his Teens, was sitting by a red circle emblazoned with sigils and a large pentagram, surrounded by candles in the darkness. He also happened to be tied up. He was kidnapped and was being held here to be sacrificed to a Demon by some Creeps, he could make out three of them, Serena, Physell and Aireshi.
He didn't know why the other two did this, but he knew Serena was a total and utter bitch, so she probably forced them along.
"I'm... Not sure about this...! Shado's a popular guy, people will notice..." Aireshi said meekly.
"Honestly, I suggested him because of that and the fact he kinda looks like a Demon himself, maybe they won't even kill 'im and bring him down to Hell to do typical jobs."
He grumbles a bit, completely uncaring at the Scenario he's in. He hates when people call him a Demon simply because his Hair style resembles horns.
"SHUT UP, both of you! Just start the damn ritual or whatever, I wanna have my Deal made!" Serena shouts out, "Sorry Shado honey, but I won't need you to be the top girl once this is over." She smirks with a smug face. Total bitch.
Physell rolls her eyes and mutters to Aireshi, out of his hearing range, as Aireshi begins chanting some sort of ancient language. He didn't expect anything to happen at first since he didn't believe in that stuff, but then the ring began to glow and he silently face palmed himself. Of course, religion would turn out to be true when it suited him the least.
The outer ring ignited as he watched in anticipation and preparation. Welp. This is where he died. He didn't really have much regrets other than not punching that damn Pecorino in the face, he deserves it. He closes his eyes, preparing to have his soul consumed or whatever, but after 10 seconds of nothing he opened his eyes wondering why this took so long, then he saw... it. Aireshi and Physell quietly backed off knowing the dangers, as Serena watched in glee.
A being had manifested from the depths of Hell. Their wings, sharp, dark and feathery, their tail long and spiky with the usual edge, their legs resembling that of a goats. It's messy, spiky blonde hair flowing in the- hold up, what?
Shado blinked in surprise. Apart from all the clearly Demonic attributes, the upper half of the being looked generally human, with the exception half of that upper body was yellow, bubbling and partially transparent.
The being opened their eyes, sclera black, irises a deep, pure yellow, glaring with slitted pupils. They opened their mouth, revealing permanently conjoined teeth.
"Thou have summoned me, one of the strongest of Evils, bring forth your Sacrifice, and I sha-"
"Cool, yeah you can take that guy as payment so can you make me the most popular person in the World?!?" Serena butted into the introduction of the booming voice of the Demon.
"Why, you insolent-"
"...That... Isn't a Demon at all." Aireshi chirped in, as all of them including the supposed Demon stares at him, "That's just an Imp, one of the low levels of Hell's Minions."
"What?! Are you KIDDING ME? We did all this for some measly weak Hellspawn?!" Serena roared in rage.
"You might not wanna-"
"Shut up, just send it away already, and summon a REAL Demon!"
The now revealed Imp scoffed at the behaviour of the woman in front of him, so bold yet awful. Clearly not a pure Soul. He turned around to what was supposed to be the sacrifice, Shado, and peered at him. Now this one would do nicely.
