"I'm sorry!"
Yuriel says standing up from the chair, Kim and Daima looks at eachother with surprised before looking the other ways with disgust.
Mary stares at Yuriel for a second before putting her fork down onto her plate.
"Uhh, sorry? Sorry for what?"
She asked.
"I was a bit too… indignant toward you even though you saved me."
She bow her head lightly. Mary got ups from her seat and walked toward Yuriel, she tells Yuriel to sit down which Yuriel do.
With a smile, a soft and gentle smile, she opens her mouth.
"No, I should be the one apologizing, I didn't tell your friend earlier, I'm sorry."
Yuriel shakes her head in disagreement.
"Oh you don't have to tell me nothing, well I did want to avoid meeting the same cultist that send me and my friends here. Anyways, you give me and Yuriel a place to rest and foods to eat, we appreciate that a lot."
Yuriel nods repeatedly.
"Despite all the good you do for me, I still almost lashed out on you."
Yuriel said. Mary place her hand together, she sighed.
"I should be the one thanking you guys."
Yuriel and Kim lifted their head to ask what she meant. Mary turned her head toward Daima, waving her arms toward him.
"I saw you guys help my son after he got picked by a bunch of demons,"
She stares at the worn wooden table for a moment before gently smiling. Kim and Yuriel stares at eachother before looking back at Mary.
"I'm glad you were there when you were because my son been coming back home with bruises lately after his father death."
Daima stares at his mom with sorrow eyes, a sadden expression, he then glance at Yuriel who he haven't thanks her yet, he refuses to look at Kim so he leaned back on his chair slightly before rocking back forward.
"Mother, I assure you I am fine."
He said trying to not make his mother worry, he give a faint fake smile, an exaggerated one, one that's seem unrealistic.
Mary eyes widened a little before returning back to normal. She nods and smile back at him.
"Oh Daima, I don't think you have thanks our guests over here for helping you."
Yuriel raised both her arms up to shoulder width, she waves it side to side repeatedly while shaking her heads.
"No needs for that, I just glad that he's safe."
She said with an awkward smile. Mary shakes her head.
"No no, please,"
She looks at Daima waiting for him to thank Yuriel and Kim.
"Well Daima, they're waiting."
Daima glances at Yuriel, his head slightly lowered to where he is staring at the table, he mutter something under his breath.
"Thank you…"
Mary didn't hear Daima thank you, telling him to lift his head up.
"Thank you."
He said, Yuriel eyes lit up, her awkwardness is gone.
"You're welcome!"
She said enthusiastically with a big smile plastered on her face. She chuckled a little before looking at Kim, Daima narrowed his head toward Kim as slowly as possible.
"And you…"
Daima head tilted in disgust, his face pulled back upon establishing eye contact with Kim.
"Thank— you?"
He whispered, the thank was more of an question rather than thanking him.
"Sorry I couldn't hear that, could you repeat that?"
Kim asks him with a giant smirk on his face, a tease worthy to be known as a douche.
"Thank you…"
This time Daima was mumbling random words after, his head still lowered down.
Kim put his hand on his ears, he lean over toward Daima, with a huge cheeky expression on his face.
"I couldn't hear you clearly, mind repeating that again?"
Kim said making Daima angrier, he was about to lash out on Kim until he look at his mom for a second, he didn't want to show his mom a filthy side of him.
"Thank you!"
Holding in all the pride within himself to muster that out.
"I can't hear you, just one more time."
Kim said as he chuckled a little, Diama looked at Kim face in awe.
"Kidding."
Kim said, Daima looked at him with a fierce stare. Yuriel kicks Kim right leg lightly.
"Kim!"
She turned to Mary and apologized for Kim behavior.
"No worry,"
She giggled.
"It seems to look like they are getting along."
Daima and Kim looked at eachother with disgust.

"P-please…let me go."
A man with beautiful and handsome face, wearing tuxedo…oh wait, it's just Eras.
Grabbing a demon by his neck, he lifted him up with one hand.
"No can do sir, I'll like to receive my payment first."
Eras said with a bright smile, a grin even.
"Like I said, I-i have no idea what you are talking about. I'd already given you what I'd have promised!"
Gagging on his words, as little bits of drool came out of his mouth.
Eras shooks his head while still having a bright smirk on his face, with his left hand, he wags his finger side to side.
"No no,"
He looked over at his shoulder, there was a stain of blood on his suit. Without moving, the blood simply drooped off of him and slowly entered inside his body.
The demon shrieked in horror, his body shaking and trembling a little as it dangled in someone hand. His mind filled with confusion,
"Where did the blood go? What did he just do? What have I done?"
The demon thought, Eras caught a glimpse of his expression, he continued to speak almost like he could read the demon mind.
"You promise something more then that 'I'll bet my life if I manage to kill you.' that is what you said, every single words that comes out of my mouth came out of yours."
The demon's eye widen, a small blood vessel beneath the conjunctiva breaks. Causing a bright red blood like acne to appear, choking on his saliva, he muster out something.
"P-please, w-what do I have to do for you to let me go?"
Eras stares at him, lowering his head a little as he mutter something to himself. He lifted his head and stare at the demon, his gaze felt like death was waiting.
"All I want you to do is to say yes and I promise everything will be over…"
His voice was sinister, a snake as his words slithered into the demon ears. The demon struggled to escape the man grasp but he felt powerless as his body suspended in mid air.
His vision first blurred before it was covered by a faint crimson red. The man that is holding him looks distorted, the demon slowly running out of air, his lung tubes have been blocked.
"Y-yesss…"
Eras let go of the demon, his body fell to the ground, he got on all fours. Coughing for air, his blurry vision remained as he lifted his head up to look at Eras.
"Like I said, this will all be over with. Goodbye."
The demon smile lightly,
"Thank you-"
His word disrupted by him falling on his left side, he tried to pull himself up but he couldn't feel his left arm. He turned his head slowly, his gaze was toward the ground.
"Huh..? Where's my left arm, where's my left arm?"
He tried to touch his left side with his right arm but nothing happen, he check to see that his right arm was also gone.
"What's going on with me?"
He looked desperately at Eras who was just standing still, helit something on fire before his gaze was at the demon.
"I said it already, all of this will be over your life included."
The demon tried to stand up but his bottom part of his body disappeared, slowly the dust particles build its way toward the demon head.
"No, please… let me live let me live-"
The gust of wind blow all the dust away, the demon no longer exist, in hell or anywhere for a fact. Eras looked up at the ceiling as blood dripped down onto the ground, putting his hand in his pockets. He look ahead of him.
"I suppose I should fulfill that deal I made with that one demon, who was it again?"
Eras thought and thought until he 'remember' a name.
"Spirce, that's the person I made the deal with. To bring his family to the overworld huh? That should be easy though I don't know where they are...eh I'll find them somewhere."
He begins walking foward, blood drips onto the shoulder of his suit, in the matter of second, it was gone. He enters complete obscurity, he couldn't be seen in the darkness road ahead, only a pitch black color.
