A Sheep Among Demons

Lesson One Chapter Three - Mammon, Avatar Of Greed

  After a few more minutes of me just awkwardly standing listening to the brothers talk about random topics I could hear quickly coming toward us. Looking in the direction of the footsteps I saw an attractive dark skin male with messy white hair coming towards us.

"Well, it seems like the idiot finally arrived." The male who I assume is Mammon finally stops near me, panting a bit with sweat on his face. When he finally got his breathing under control he straightened up and pointed a finger at me with a glare on his face. Seeing him closer now I could see that he had blue and yellow gradient eyes. I also noticed he had gold stud earrings and two silver rings on his ring and pinky finger. I could see that he also had his nail painted but as white. 'Is it a demon thing? Or is it a family thing?' I was really curious about the painted fingernails not caring that I was being glared at.

"HEY! Just who do you think you are, human? You've got a lotta nerve summoning the Great Mammon! Listen up, because I'm only gonna say this once. If you value your life, then you'll hand over all of your money now! And anything else of value, too! Otherwise I'll wipe that stupid, indifferent look right off your face. . .by eatin' you! Startin' at your head and working my way down, until-" Lucifer quickly went up to Mammon and punched him in the head which caused a loud sound to echo in the room.

"Mammon, shut up or I'll punch you!" Mammon was holding his head while slowly moving away from a glaring Lucifer while I just stared at them with a blank expression. 'But you already punch him! You are supposed to give him a chance before you do the thing you threaten to do!' I was shouting that internally but the only reaction I gave was my eyebrow twitching.

"GAH, OWW! Hey, what's the big idea?! I thought you were actually gonna give me a chance to shut up before punching me!" Mammon was glaring at Lucifer but quickly looked away when he made eye contact with him. 'He kind of. . . pitiful' I couldn't help but notice that the rest of his brothers look at him with a look of indifference.

"Yuki, Mammon here is the Avatar of Greed. He governs and oversees all forms of it. Whenever he takes a liking to someone, they suddenly find themselves awash in money. But from what I hear, if he decides to break it off with someone, that wealth evaporates. They're left without a Grimm to their name." Satan introduces Mammon who got mad about being ignored by his brothers. 'So I shouldn't trust him with any type of money.' Keeping money away from him should be pretty easy since I am completely broke at the moment.

"And he's also a masochist. That part's important." Asmodeus chided in with that and all of his brothers nodded their head in agreement pretending they couldn't hear Mammon shouts of disapproval while I just felt my eyebrow twitch trying not to react to the situation.

"Indeed. And it just so happens I have a job for my masochist brother" Lucifer continued teasing Mammon who looked like he was going to start stomping his feet in frustration. 'Hmmm. So he has a personality like my baby cousin. He may be easy to handle unlike his other brothers.'

"Y'all, stop telling lies! I ain't asked for that punch, and I AIN'T a masochist!" Mammon actually started to stomp his feet which caused me to raise an eyebrow since I didn't actually think he would start doing that. It kind of added a charm to him even with that personality of his.

"Mammon, you are going to be in charge of seeing to this human's needs during the whole exchange. I expect your full cooperation." Lucifer continued talking ignoring a protesting Mammon who looked like he was going to start sulking.

"What?! Why me?!" Mammon stops stomping his feet looking at Lucifer in shock then at me then back at Lucifer with his mouth hanging open. 'You don't have to look that shocked man. It making me feel self conscious' I was frowning slightly at Mammon's reaction at having to watch over me worrying that there was something wrong with me.
