Looking at Noah’s body, 9ad8e0ba2d I involuntarily frowned. There were both 971eec3458 recent wounds and f9f78773cb old scars, but 12f5f495ad none of them ec016c64a5 seemed appropriate for cb8c6eca21 a child to 860c188319 bear.3d7f9817a9c04eaf

As Noah stepped f44ce0354e into the water 909b5e40b9 to wash off 82e1ef7993 the blood, I c226754304 tried to hide 57075e2a48 my discomfort and 3c10955971 asked him.912dc294a64f6d53

I couldn’t 44ef2c1df1 help but 506c20d788 let out 86f2dea6f3 a sigh. He looked so young 5046c81565 and thin, I thought 45e0bb0714 he was around 10, b499ed27e2 but he’s actually fifteen. That’s middle school e6d3eed713 age by modern 92b39b3313 standards. He looked 3d079a98e8 nothing like 4d60edb971 the kids eba611fae6 I knew d40fc6a608 at that e1e9bc0652 age.1c1f902470f9a17c

The fact that 7df068ffad such a young b0d3231981 kid had been 70bdf95d6f used as a 23c61a2ebc Gladiator Slave was bb7f1ea0d0 infuriating enough, but a4b185abde knowing that he cca0f89a21 hadn’t been fed 6395633474 properly only added b394f308d5 to my wrath. Feeding and taking 23ddc03cea care of Noah 3fd81c9eff to make him 2e33f1d487 look his age 464ad9c9f3 seemed like the eb08f9b5c9 first thing to b8174a510d do.d028ca6dbc47c769

As a child, 3fd613add3 I had hoped 0d9c976a95 for a kind 39595a277f of guardian angel dc0f6bd94c to appear in 1bfd3d098a my life, but 3dfe3c920c life didn’t work 4bac7fd08d out so easily, cc45180589 and I had 719a17fc84 to stand up f4f813f2d4 on my own.

Traveling between the Demon dc73dcd5aa Realm and the Human d46064f133 World was too inefficient 1056f25455 due to the high d6a94855ab consumption of magic. Sensing my concern, a66c12c5e8 Noah said.b8ac19d3c8b0449d

His response seemed 9a9d6ed12a reluctant, but not 84cfcc2784 quite. Was he unaware f5e64f4326 of the situation? It didn’t 31a9b44779 seem so. He trusted me that fa61a7f270 much, or perhaps he b03a4104a2 didn’t feel the dwrath. Why?24cd48dc91c31072

To humans, demons are 47ab1ef0b2 objects of disgust and 987fb75c14 fear, not only for 8b112e8b2f their overwhelming power compared 770bd789de to other races but 741d45c842 also for their ability 75456973e7 to take souls.

Moreover, being one of 23016ead44 the only seven named 370c44fbf9 Archdemons, I was more e2f5464e45 than just a figure 9b0ea0d481 of fear—I was akin 6f8588f5e3 to a calamity.
