The World's Demons

•°2°•Drying My Wings

My head hurt and my sight was blurry.I groaned as I tried to get up but was forced down by the demon inside of me.I don't even know his name...Let me get up,demon.It sighed
I have a name.

Well I don't know it.

Orochi.

You're the eight forked serpent who demanded virgin sacrifices?

Yep.

Can I get up now?

No.

I turned my head  to the wall with a small door in the center.Butterflies were carved in the wood.The walls looked like they were made of ivory, but I doubt it.The trade costs have risen to where only royalty can buy ivory.

Get up.

I obeyed, glad to get the pins and needles..I stretched and looked for clothes. Go into the main hallway. There's a door with three butterflies on it.

       Thanks.

I went through the small door in a crouch.It must be a servants door.The hall way was lined with wooden planks and the floor had a expensive looking red and gold carpet along the whole length of the floor. One butterfly, two butterflies,three. I stopped at the light colored wood door and opened it up.There were pants, and shirts lined against the wall. Cloaks were piled on the floor.Some more extravagant than others.I picked a green cloak and some black pants and a shirt.

               They fit well.I strode out of the room.Where to?It sounded like Orochi scoffed.

          What do you think?Take a left and head to the central room.

I started walking  and admired the stained glass windows.The carpet felt like clouds under my feet;I couldn't help but skip a little.

Stop.Orochi took control and we walked stiffly down the rest of the hall.There was a large door that opened up to the central room of  the church. I cringed as I pushed passed the butterfly covered curtains and saw the fountain.
              There are boots and a katana by the door,Sukia.

Thanks.

I pulled on my boots and strapped on the sword belt with the sword in it's sheath already attached. I pushed open the door but closed it again.

          You haven't been outside in the day light for a long time. Take it easy.

         Wow.I didn't know demons could be so considerate. Orochi scoffed at the thought. I eased the door open and every one was staring. What are they looking at?
You.

As I walked down the stairs people backed away.I sighed and turned on my heel towards the nearest inn.
Here.

A small pouch of coins appeared on my swordbelt.Thanks.

People that didn't see me come out of the butterfly church begged me for some money or business. I shied away towards the inn's doors and pushed through. I walked up to the man at the front desk.

       "How may I help You?"The man was old and shriveled and looked distinctly foreign with his dark skin.

"Um,I would like a room."he nodded and pulled out two keys,one for a spare.

   

"Second floor,the first one on your right."I gave him money and then headed up the old stairs.The door to the room was splintered and I even didn't have to use the keys. This is the best we'll get in this kingdom. I closed the door and layed down on the cot.Snowflight was a small and poor kingdom.People were mostly in poverty,but the ones in power have it all.They had the best foods,luxurious bathhouses and much more. I'm not from here. I came from a small village called Sentarek.I was sent here to establish a house and become a priest later on.My eyes grew heavy as I stared at the mildewed ceiling.
