Once they made it to a town, MF rushed over to a library, entering then going to the front counter, practically slamming his hands on the counter. ^Give me every book you have on demons!^

The librarian would jump, looking at him startled, "A-Aisle 15 s-sir..."

He'd rush over to that aisle, looking for every book on demons, demonology, summoning, anything and everything, bringing them over to a table, starting to read them. Wraith, Watcher, and Tank would be waiting outside of the library, hiding in a few bushes the best they could.

...

Hours had passed, maybe days, he didn't know, nor did he care, he just kept reading until finally he finished all the books. He'd get up, a few joints would be heard popping from him being still for so long. He'd exit the library, looking out at the sky and the horizon. It was night, when he entered it was just past dawn. He'd walk to the back where he expected to see Wraith, Watcher, and Tank, but was met with empty bushes. ^...Shit.^ He'd look around for any signs of them, then seeing Tank's tracks in the ground, following them. ^Don't have been captured please.^ He kept following them until he made it to a blacksmith. Once he entered he saw them all next to a medium container full of lava. He'd seemingly sigh in relief, ^Oh thank Christ...^

"Who in the hell are you?" A voice would call from behind him.

He'd turn around to see the blacksmith of the place, ^Oh, uh, so sorry sir, I just...was getting them...^ He'd point slightly to Wraith, Watcher, and Tank.

"...What do you want with my demons?"

^...Your demons?^ He sounded confused.

"Yep, they wandered in a few days ago, haven't left since, so I claimed them as my own!" They sounded proud.

^...Well I'm sorry to inform you, they're MY demons actually.^

"Prove it." They'd cross their arms. "Also, what's with the whole mask ordeal?"

^I'm not even going to answer that question.^ He'd snap his fingers and Wraith, Watcher, and Tank would all disappear in a small flame.

The blacksmith would be shocked, backing up a bit, "Wha-....What is this sorcery?"

^Don't ask...and like I said, they're mine.^

The blacksmith would back up more, running out of the shop.

MF would sigh, snapping his fingers again and the others all appearing again, ^Sorry about everything that just happened.^

"Where have you been bosssss? It'ssss been an entire day!"

He'd look over at them all, surprised, ^It has?!^

"Yessss, we got hungry and ssssaw the lava here."

^I am so fucking sorry, but holy shit, I know a LOT more about demons than I did before.^

"Like what?"

^Well, last night I had that demon appear again, turns out their name was Xaox, so-^

"XAOC?!" He sounded afraid and shocked. "The right hand man of ssssatan himsssself and inventor of curssssessss and potionssss?!"

^...Yeah...him.^

"We're fighting againsssst Xaoc of all of them...?!"

^Yep.^

"...Bosssss, you've officially losssst your mind."

^Haven't we all, ANYWAYS as I was saying, I learned about his history, the types of curses he can bring upon people, etcetera, etcetera. Then I learned a whole lot about other demons, like yourselves even. Turns out Tank's a lava guard, demons that guard Satan's castle.^

"Bosssss...we know this already."

^...Right, sorry.^

"...SSSSo now what, bosssss?" Tank and Wraith would get up, while Watcher was asleep on Tank's back.

^...I guess start hunting down demons, since I know weak points for some now.^

"Alright."

They'd exit the blacksmith building, heading to another woods area far from the village and getting another fire set up, sleeping until the next morning. MF, however, didn't sleep; he kept wondering about why he of all people were chosen for this task, as well as why Xaoc wanted to destroy the world.
