.+* In the darkest depths of Dark Cacao *+.

A long dark hallway . . . Filled with cells . . . But all empty . . . All except one . . . The sound of malicious giggles echoed throughout the hallway . . . And one certain cell had a dim red light emanating from it . . .

Two loyal guards, ordered to retrieve the singular prisoner left in this hallway of cells, did as they were told, but with the lingering feeling of fear crawling down their spines. As they proceeded closer to the dimly lit cell, the louder the laughter got.

Louder
Louder
And louder

...

They arrived to the door of the cell, a large cell with only a singular demon inside, a small demon . . . Chained to the wall . . . Cackling . . . One of the guards hesitantly hit the bars of the cell.

A CRACK
Was heard as the small demon quickly lifted up his head to look up at the two guards that stood at the door of his cell.

"OH! So I see that his majesty has brought two more guards my way!! Wonder if you two will last longer then the previous bunch . . . !" The small demon exclaimed.

"We are not here to exterminate you-!" Guard 1 stated.

"Yes, in fact, king Dark Cacao as requested for your presence-" the other guard said.

"Oh! Well doesn't he come up with new things every day! But I do have to warn you . . . I bite~!" He stated with a sick and twisted grin on his face.

The two guards looked at each other with worried faces . . . They would both take deep breaths before taking action . . .

. . .

The cell door would open with a slow and loud creak . . .

.+* at the foot of the Bitter Dark Cacao thrown *+.

The two guards threw down the small demon to the ground, putting their spears to his neck as he looked up seeing the ruler of this underworld.

King Dark Cacao

A ruler of demons well known for his harsh punishments and raging temper.

"Captain Crunchy Chip . . . " Dark Cacao spoke.

"Your Majesty Dark Cacao . . ." Crunchy Chip replied.

Dark cacao sat still for a moment, keeping a tight grip on his sword . . . Then he stood up, putting all his weight on his sword.

"Now I know that you might be wondering why I have asked you to be brought here . . . After many failed attempts of extermination . . . " Dark Cacao said.

Crunchy chip quickly jumped up to stand straight and listen to what Dark Cacao was going to say, even with both his hands and feet in chains, the guards continued to put their spears to his neck, as to not take any chances.

"With the situation of not being able to get rid of you and keeping you locked up in a cell . . . It has given me some time to think . . . That you might actually be of some use to me other than causing utter chaos throughout the region," he continued to speak.

Crunchy Chip grew inpatient, tapping his foot on the ground before blurting out "WILL YOU HURRY IT UP?? I don't got all day y'know-!" His tone of voice sounded annoyed.

The guards quickly put their spears closer to his neck and yelled out "let his majesty speak!"

Dark Cacao quickly rose one of his hands and spoke "Yeild! Take your spears away from his neck this instant!"

The two guards looked at Dark Cacao and did as he said, Crunchy Chip would giggle at the sight of this.

"Now, to get to the point of this conversation . . . I will be sending you out on a little mission . . . All I ask of you is to bring this cookie into a life of sin . . ." Dark Cacao stated with the image of a tall and broad shouldered priest appearing in his hand.

Crunchy Chip would look at the other with a face of surprises, and then he started laughing "pfft-, HAHA-, NO-, YOU MUST BE JOKING-"

Dark Cacao would not say a word and just gave Crunchy Chip a stern glare.

Crunchy Chip took a quick glance at Dark Cacao and quickly stopped laughing "please, you can't be serious about this-. This is a job for a common demon! You do not need me for this job," he stated.

"You may think this will be an easy task, but I assure you it is not, I have sent many to deal with this cookie, and they all have failed to do the task of which I ask. I would have not called for your presence if it was a simple task . . . Crunchy Chip-" Dark Cacao said with a loud and stern voice.

Crunchy Chip would look at Dark Cacao before letting out a loud and exaggerated sigh "FiNe-, I'll do this wimpy job of yours, but you owe me big time for making me do such a simple task for you-"

"I am aware- . . . But before you do anything . . . If you fail this mission . . . Both your horns will be carved off, taking away your title as Captain . . . Is that clear?" Dark Cacao stated with a loud and assertive voice.

"Crystal, your Majesty," Crunchy Chip would say with a grin on his face.

"Good, you shall be sent to the realm above tonight, so I suggest to prepare yourself," he said

"Will do . . . Your majesty . . . "
