After eating and drinking a little bit, the girl fell asleep on the warm bed. Dhein stayed by her side the whole time despite the constant nagging of Cyreth at the back of his head.
He turned to the owners of the house and asked:
"Why did you let us in?"
The couple looked at each other and then back at him.
They then answered:
"To live."
It wasn't that there was a major difference between the human and demon psyche. Their way of living and thinking had been shaped by a driving force that was so unstoppable and powerful, over time, the demonkind had become driven by fear.
They weren't inherently evil.
It made Dhein think about Sullivan Wixorn's spite on humans for killing his demon spouse.
Dhein stood up and then walked up to the homeowners. They looked like poor villagers struggling just to survive each day.
It was obvious that whoever ruled Sekhtar had no idea what he was doing.
