Death came back with some raw meat; he went to the butcher's shop and bought some fresh calf meat for Zozo. He handed the packet to him and took a deep breath, sitting on the chair, "So you going to tell me what happened next?" Zozo finished his meal; the way he was eating was quite disgusting. Death gave him a piece of cloth to wipe the blood from his face.

After that Zozo continued, "Yeah, so where was I? Umm... oh yeah I remember... After the news spread our Lord summoned all the royal elites for a meeting. He was a man of great honor and respect, due to his work and patience all the realms were in order. He was disappointed and quite angry because of the act mankind did."

After a small pause, he continued, "The Demon Lord said he wanted to teach humans a lesson, and all the elites agreed. Our army was prepared for any kind of attack, all the demon forces, including the Demon Lord and elites were on the battlefield. They were hoping that maybe humans won't attack, but as the night started to grow dark, a large number of the human army, with their allies arrived at the battlefield. I should tell you that many were against this war from both sides."

Zozo walked to his bag and pulled out a different book this time. His bag was like a small pouch, but it was able to take almost everything and anything inside of it somehow. When the bag is zipped it was just like a creepy face with a smile.

Zozo started to read the book, "Yeah, here it is. Well after the sun rise, humans started to march towards us and our army started to gear up. Demons were alone at that time, their allies hadn't arrived yet. But the Demon Lord decided to face the humans because of many reasons. Humans were in formation, and so were we, but there something weird happened."

Zozo was looking at the book carefully, "Our soldiers started to collapse, falling on the ground, unconscious. Isn't this weird?" He asked Death.

Death was listening to every single word Zozo was saying, "Yeah it is weird, I mean I have seen people fainting, but an army falling on the ground at the same time, nope... never." Zozo was also enjoying talking about the war. "Well Demon Lord instantly realized the situation; someone from the human side had attained the power of a strong curse, the Eternal Sleep."

Zozo pulled out another book from his bag, "Well this curse can be obtained by someone willing to give his life and had given a sacrifice of one thousand lives with his own hands, not animals though. So the first assumption was made, the human possessing that power had killed a thousand men, but we thought they had killed someone from another realm or race." Zozo was terrified. "Our spy came running with the news. He informed us about the man who had the curse; he was the prince of the human race, Paulker the Bee, and the first son of the King. This wasn't a shock for us, but the second thing he said was so threatening that it made our Lord stand from his throne, once again. He had killed one thousand men of his hometown."

Zozo stopped there for a moment, "Killing someone of your kind was said to be a great sin in the demon realm." Zozo paused, feeling a bit dizzy, "If you don't mind, I would like to sleep for some time; after all I am not as young as I used to be." And he chuckled walking into the darkness and vanished.
