"WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE GOT AWAY?!" I shout at the pathetic excuse for a low-level demon.

"I gave you one job, ONE! Get answers and bring her to me! What was so difficult about this, it should have been an easy get. New to her gifts and helpless without guidance. Why are you so God damned useless?" I stop pacing and glared at the demon telling him to answer and I drink down his stuttered fear caused by my show of rare emotion.

"Sh.. she had help master, a gua...guardian. We got the girl but the.. The Guardian showed up w.. wi..with fr..friends. We d.. Did try to ge..Get answers out of the girl but she wouldn't answer any of them and just kept b..begging that we stop and let her go. We kicked her around a bit but that did noth.. Nothing either master. The guardian killed three of m.. My boys before she got to us. I managed to kill the guardian but the... girl got away during the battle. We followed her to a hotel but she didn't stay there longer th..Than the n... night and we, and we... we... lost her in the forest Ma... Master. There was too many different scents and life forms for m..Me to track her. She was hurt good though by us and she is probably ne... near death now being weak if she couldn't or doesn't know how to hunt. With a tracker, I can find her ma.. Master, I could bring her straight to you. Please, please, please let me fix this master".

The demon pleaded with him on his knees. Disgusted with the show of feeling the demon was expressing I told him to get the tracker and anything else he needs and not to disappoint me again or it will be his life in the pit with my cursed souls.

Thinking of them cheers me up and I listen to the sound of the cursed souls screaming in their flaming home as I wander back to my suite behind the throne room. Thinking over what I have learned I wonder if it could be true the girl has no idea what is going on. If so that would make her easier to taint, bring her to my side. She could become a powerful shade if I could turn her. What about the power she released at the end of last week, could she have been triggered and just came into her gifts? So many questions but I settle myself and breathe out with my legendary patience, after all, I am a master at controlling my emotions unlike the lower demons around me ruled by their emotions.

"Trent come to me" I summon to the air. Before I even finish the sentence there is a small audible pop and standing before me is the giant of a demon. Most beings find Trent intimidating being 6 feet 4 inches tall dark and deadly appearance. He doesn't say anything just stands there in front of me with black emotionless eyes and a dead expression in place waiting for his orders. Whenever something needs to be done that other demons are failing at I send Trent. There are only a few higher demons that have his talents for Fire, telepathy, and the discipline to keep on target and not be sidetracked easily. Demons are deadly but love is sinful which can cause problems. I savor the feeling that Trent makes the other demons tremble on their feet and he is completely mine. While I have his bother I have him as my slave. Doing whatever I want and working off his brother's debt. It was a fantastic bargain I struck and I have no intention of letting either of them go, not ever.

"Last week you felt the ground tremble yes? I sent group scouts to all planes to collect information and find out what happened and why. It appears that a girl from Scotland – on the earth plane – has come into her power which means she is vulnerable to taint for a small window of time. I believe she was triggered by something but if it was just a reflex trigger it means she could be even more powerful or even weaker from using more than she actually had. Imagine having that power, bending and molding her into a shade. Deadly and silent, completely bowed to my will. I want her Trent and you are going to get her. Talk to the head scout and find out everything he knows. Go and bring her to me and we will talk about the release of your brother."

I watch a quick show of hope fly across his face before the blank expression slams down as he bows his head. "Yes, master" and he pops out to track down the scout.

I sit back and smirk. Yes, she would do nicely in my collection. Soon I will have enough to begin the game. Soon I will take my rightful place at God's table in the spirit plane. I will destroy them for their slights against me and then I will rule it all. I will have complete dominion. I will be the ultimate ruler and I will be feared. I will make chaos and revel in the aftermath. I will bathe in the death, sorrow, and anguish that will spread across the planes. Yes, I will have it all, or I will destroy it all either would do perfectly. Everyone will pay.
