Shyla looked at the demon staring at her. His sharp black claws, spikes that spread all around it's body and dark aura terrified her but what she was most afraid

of, was of his four feral white eyes. "Wha-What are y-you? What d-do y-you want?" She inquired the beast while looking at her surroundings, looking for either a weapon

or a way to escape her situation.

The creature stood there in silence, staring at her, she felt like it could see her very own soul and she trembled at what it would do to her.

Kyrios didnt responded to her. 'What do I do now? I screwed up! Should I kill her? No, I bet her coven will notice. But she seems really afraid of me? Maybe I can use

that as an advantadge?'

---

System has analized target's status, she has a timed curse that stops her from using magic on this world.

---

'This world? You mean it doesnt affect my lair?'

---

The lair is in a different dimension, so host's assumption is correct. If witch Shyla enter's it, the curse will dispel.

---

Kyrios grinned at a new idea.

"You cannot use magic?" The shade inquired Shyla who was trying to calm down.

"N-no, but if you think you can get away from hurting me, the council will avenge me!" (Shyla)

"You mean "those old carcasses" that took away your power?" (Kyrios)

"H-how do you? You were spying on me and Nina werent you?" (Shyla)

"It isnt hard to listen on two children bickering with each other so loudly." The shade stated, taking a slow glance around the room.

Shyla wanted to return the insult, but refrained from doing so, not wanting to get in a worst situation.

"Just what do you want from me?" (Shyla)

"To struck a deal." (Kyrios)

Shyla rose up, she already knew what deals meant, especialy with demons. "So let me guess, you want something costly to return my magic? Maybe a sacrifice? Or give you

my soul? I have heard plenty of demon deals, they always end up in death or worse! So no deal, the door is that way!" She pointing at the door.

Kyrios cracked up, laughing as high as he could, scaring even more the witch.

"Wha-what's so funny?" Shyla mumbled, trying to walk backways very slowly.

"You mortals always think of the worse..." 'I do too!' "My deal is clear, I require simple information and simple ten items, in return I'll make sure you are able to

use magic again!" (Kyrios)

Shyla frowned, stopping her steps and putting both her hands on her waist. "Depends on the information and items." She said sounding interested in the deal.

"It's not that much." Kyrios said while looking at his right hand, playing with it's claws. "You just have to give me 10 books about magic and the names of all

factions in this area."

Shyla smiled at the demon. "Can it be aprendice books like basic spell casting and creating low level wards? What about books about magic potions or magical

ingredients?"

"Yes, any books about magic shall do." Kyrios said after the system telling him that those were acceptable.

"Then it wont be a problem, but tell me, why do you want faction names? Are you planning on a war? What if you attack my coven?" (Shyla)

"No, I am simply a newcomer to this...realm. You can think of me as a turist on holidays." (Kyrios)

Shyla nodded her head, it was normal for demons to come at LA all the time. "I'll need a day to gather everything you require. But first I want your promise that you

wont endanger my coven nor anyone close to me. Also how will you return my magic?"

"I can promise not to be hostile unless they force me into self-defence. I'll only require you to follow my instructions for five minutes, then you will have your

magic back. I shall return tomorrow at night if you agree." Kyrios said while moving to the door.

"What does instructions involve?" Shyla inquired with an eyebrown raised, staring at the demon.

Kyrios chuckled to the girl. "None of those you are thinking now. Pervert"

Shyla's face reddened as the demon disapeared trought the doorlock, for a second time she couldnt return the 'insult'.

The witch let out a sigh before turning around and picking the sandwich on the floor. "I'll have to ask Nina for help to see if theres any information of that demon."

She said to herself before trowing it at the trash and heading towards the kitchen to make a new one.

Meanwhile in another apartment building, monkey and wolf flew away towards home carrying a sack from wich a battle could be heard coming from the inside.

Unknown to them, a dark figure standing on a roof far away was looking at them with it's yellow eyes. "Interesting..." It mumbled before turning around and

disapearing.

Kyrios had returned to the first floor and since the gargoyles didnt return yet, he decided to go to the mainteneance room so he could check the computer.

The shade found out that the landlord lived in A1 just on the floor above him. His name was Jonh, 34 years old, single, without a job and lived by using the rents he

received.

Jonh had info on everyone who lived in the building, so Kyrios decided to check out what he could until his minions returned.

A7 - Mia, 19 years old.

What a cuttie this one is. At first glance she seems all innocent and that's what I thought before last month, that little whore asked to suck my cock since she didnt

have money for rent! Ha! I wonder how it will go at the end of this month. To be honest I got no idea how she's getting into Hell Hood VIP area if she's broke, saw her

last week going there with some random guy, I wonder if she has a sugar daddy?

A6 - Kyle, 27 years old.

A drugdealer who loves to use his own merchadise. Sometimes I like to buy from him to relax you know? He used to be stashed with money, but nowadays he seems broke, I

wonder if a deal went wrong? Last time in rent day the bastard even had the balls to ask for it to be paid in weed, even showing the gun on his belt, but he ended up

paying half the rent in money and the rest in drugs.

A5 - David

Now that's an oddpiece, dont know much about the guy since he only comes home 5 or 6 times a month. At least he always pays the rent.

A4 - Shyla, 20 years old.

A young girl with a godesse's ass and a bitchy atitude, always with that Nina friend of hers with a nice rack. I think she's part of some cult, once or twice a month

she brings her group of girlfriends all dressed in the same black jacket. Got no idea what they do, got no complains from the others residents about their "sleep

overs" wich makes me wonder if they are into lesbian orgies. I wonder what they do to stay so hot all the time? Those bitches always look like top models.

A3 - Mac and Tania, 26 and 24 years old.

The young couple around the block. Got no idea how Mac got such a hottie as the bum he is, the girl is even working at a radio station, you can normaly hear her

talking at night in Radio 666. Bet she makes alot of cash.

A2 - Matilda, 18 years old.

A shy one who just finished school, works at a library, I wish she would wear something other than grandma clothes and long skirts. She's even afraid of talking to

most people, at least the blond girl never fails to pay rent since I always got the envelope with the money from her in my mailbox.

'Got no idea what to think about this, just what, the, fuck?'

As he finished reading Matilda's part, wolf and monkey entered the room with a big sack, Kyrios turned to them half dumbfounded.

'Dont tell me they brought the animals all together inside, they've problably killed each other by now...'

""Mastah Mastah"" The gargoyles giggled while calling him, dropping the sack before him.
