The Demon Of Lust

22

Achille's POV

I'm in my room sharpening my toys when I hear Agmos yelling at the top of his lungs and Swindle trying to calm him down. I walk out of my room and into the study.

I exclaim,"What the hell are you yelling for?"

Agmos has a look on his face I've seen only once before, a look of pure pain and fear.

Agmos says,"Someone took Demina."

I exclaim,"WHAT?!"

Agmos replies,"Swindle and I were at a lycanthrope bar in one of the forest realms and something didn't feel right. I came back and Demina was kidnapped. Her workplace was destroyed. They've hurt her. I don't know how bad."

Agmos begins shaking and I know what that means.

I say,"Agmos. Breathe. It won't do her any good to go there now. You need to reserve that for the enemy."

He breathes deeply and goes to the kitchen. Nothing bangs or shatters so that's a good sign.

Swindle says,"I'm going try to keep him calm. You need to rest. We're going to be doing a lot of surveillance and gathering of intel. We must find her, Achille."

I nod and turn to leave when Swindle says,"And we WILL make the enemy suffer."

I head back to my room and rest.

~The next Day~

I head out to go to the water realm of the mermaids. I'm talking with Gwyn the head of the Floki tribe.

I ask,"Have you seen anything?"

She shakes her head and says,"No. We would have felt the presence of a human passing through our realm."

I'm about to respond when something doesn't feel right. Fear rips through me and I spin around. I raise my hand as the shadows engulf me shadow fire. I look around and I'm back at home and hear Agmos telling Swindle everything. He's seeing what Demina is seeing? How? Agmos comes out and heads to his room. I head to my room and begin getting ready for tonight. I'm meeting with Swindle in an hour.

~Three months later~

It's been three months since Demina has been kidnapped. Agmos hasn't been taking it well. He's been ripping through anyone who looks at him sideways. Figuratively and verbally.

Swindle has found some warlocks that practice old magic. They're casting an old spell that will take away any type of magic that's cloaking someone but they need a lot of magical ingredients and something of Demina's. Agmos doesn't want any of us going into her house to get it. He said he'd get it tonight.

I gather my toys and head to the study. Agmos is there with the item and I relax. It's finally happening. We're getting her back.

We head to the warlocks' place and they're casting the spell. Agmos hands them the shirt and they throw it in with the mixture. It smells of peppermint and pumpkin. Odd. Very odd.

Agmos holds his head and one of the warlocks tells him to focus on Demina. A portal opens and Agmos runs through. We follow and begin taking down henchmen. I feel anger and my protective side come out and my macuahuitl appears in my hand from the shadows.

I smile and I can feel myself transform. I've gone Ultra and I love the power that comes with it. I begin swinging my macuahuitl around taking down the enemy one by one. Blood is spraying through the air and I grin. We get through the henchmen and feel anger. The three of us lol at each other before melting into the shadows. We can all hear what's going on in the hideout.
