"Demons can speak and communicate with each other. A language not known to this realm. It has been one thing of few things' humans have not been able to uncover. It is sacred to us. When a demon becomes attracted to the bonding ritual and willing become part of it, the palace sees it all. We have a team of demons, most Magician ranked demons. A spell is placed upon that demon before they enter the human realm and they are not capable of speaking once they breach this realm," Yoongi whispered into the naked skin of Jungkook's back. Jungkook closed his eyes, caving into the small circles the demon traced into his low back poking at the small dimples there. He hummed for his demon to continue, "this realm thinks demons of monsters incapable of what you would call normal behavior. There is so much humans do not know about demons, about my kind. But our realm was created long behavior humans walked this earth. We watched it all become. One ruler oversees all of the underworld. He is a Demon of Death of warrior ranking. He is the oldest living demon. He is the father and creator of our world.

              He has advisers and members of the royal court. Very similar to how it is on earth. He has children and multiple partners in his harem. Demons, we do not have a distinct gender. Human bodies, those of the female and male gender were shaped after our own. But we never classified one as lesser than another. The demon with what you would consider a female physic may bare children. That is the only difference. We do not marry but some do undergo a ceremony and ritual that binds one demon to another, it is most common in lesser and weaker demons who can feed off each other's' energies."

              "What does this demon king do?" Jungkook asked. He was tired but his mind has never bene more alert. He was soaking in every piece of information Yoongi was willing to tell him. After months of not knowing, of not understanding. Something must have happened to his demon, to his Yoongi. After their first session for research, Jungkook felt something he had not felt before swirl and swell inside him. It was trust. Jungkook now knows his demon has always cared for him, had the urge to protect and guide him. But he knew his demon was still weary. He has been abused and degraded by humans. He needed time to know Jungkook was worth trusting, worth revealing these secrets of the underworld that has never been known to human kind before.

              And it has made Jungkook's heart grow in size. Their soul-bond is the strongest in history, their connection like no other. But every day Jungkook and Yoongi still continue to learn and understand one another. Jungkook has allowed himself to become vulnerable and desperate in front of his demon. His demon has allowed himself to tell tales of his life on his own realm. Jungkook leaned back, pressing against Yoongi as much as possible, sighing in content.

              "He establishes order in the realm. We do not have the same type of jobs like on this realm, we do not farm or care for animals. But we do have creatures in the underworld we consider as animals. Many would be considered hunters; they practice their powers by tracking and hunting these creatures. There are taverns and pubs, demons invented the alcoholic drink. We do not need to eat or drink, but many take pleasure in these types of beverages. Most demons do not live in one place, they are wonderers and travelers. There are provenances throughout our realm, 40 in total. The royal palace is located in the capital, or the middle of the underworld. Each provenance a group of trusted advisors maintains order. Our world is vast and large it takes years to travel from one provenance to another, most demons are not able to travel to every provenance but it is believed that if you do you will become a demon far greater than the king. The king has been the only one to do so. Most demons either are killed or enter into a bond with a human before they complete their goal. Demons do not die of natural deaths. Others can kill us, we can kill ourselves, but that is all."

              "It, it sounds a bit boring," Jungkook mumbled, cracking an eye open when he felt his demon let out a breathy laugh against his shoulder.
