As Nive watched in awe, the creature's arms, engulfed in flames, lifted its body out of his own. With a burst of energy, the being emerged, and as it did, Nive noticed that it was quite literally glowing. Nive couldn't help but scream with excruciating pain.

The creature's legs gleamed in light as they finally came out, completing its departing. The sight was both mesmerizing and unnerving, leaving Nive unsure of what to do next.

His back wove itself back together, though it was left with a prominent scar.

Eventually, the engulfed being stood behind Nive, giving him an incredibly deprecating gaze.

"It's about time, human. I've waited so long to get out of your body. It's incredibly stuffy in there, perhaps you should think about cleaning it"
Nive's brows furrowed, what's going on..??

The devil stretched, popping its hands and neck to relieve the tension caused by being cramped in the vessel.

"What the hell are you...?"

"Oh right... You don't recognize me, do you? Well, it's expected, I was in a different form back then."

The creature paused for a moment.

"... I reckon calling myself the Fire Devil would be fitting, right?"

"So you're the fire devil...?"

It nodded

"Shouldn't... shouldn't you be bigger?"

The devil scowled at Nive, was he serious? Just because it was feared by many didn't mean it had to be some enormous beast.

"What's wrong with me looking like a human? I assumed you'd like this form better considering how much of a baby you are."

Nive's shrunk back, he was still rather afraid of the devil, it could overpower him in second.

"Im not gonna hurt you, bafoon."

"Get out of my house..."

The fire devil stared judgementally

So, Nive harbored a devil in him this whole time..?
What a trip.
