Re: A Greater Mystery (Keylo)
To meet a being that desired to devour a god was truly an... interesting experience for Enigma, if not a nostalgic one. For she too once thought of performing such an action, under the belief that doing so would grant her all the infinite power of one, by which she may use to obtain her "perfect understanding" of everything. A notion and fancy that she had long abandoned after having failed to hear successful attempts...but now began to return, after hearing the one before her speak. It was possible for a demon lord to know of where a god was! That much she had learned today! This meant that should she want to reach out and devour the god...all she would have to do would be to gather some more power and...
"You are a predator as well then!~ Excellent!~. How many have you devoured to ascend to the degree of power you have today? Did you walk the path of the devourer from the beginning? Or come upon it later? Dragons, a... hellfang, a monolith of the elements? Have you consumed those? I've only been consuming lesser things of late really, a bit of greenery here and there, the occasional ruffian...small morsels really. Interesting how similar we are really though, fascinating even, given how rare our type is. Perhaps we could possibly exchange experiences some time? It would be ever so interesting. With that said however...I must, simply must, insist that you find your own prey dear."
...find another demon to consume, that wasn't her precious pet, as a telltale flare of power might imply. Dropping the niceties, it was here that Enigma would opt to make her stance quite clear.
"For from what I gather, you are one of considerable power already. Surely it would not be unreasonable for you to find another...demon lord is it? Elsewhere. That would seem to be a much more satisfactory solution, rather than having both of us waste precious energy on a needless dispute of course. After all, would thou enter the house of a friend, and butcher his dog for sustenance? Seems rather distasteful no? A civilized being, regardless of how great their hunger may be, would ask for nourishment politely, or if desirous of specialized game...ask for company on a hunt, rather than perform such a savage action. If thou wishes to make a request of a fellow devourer in the acquisition of a demon Lord, I would happily comply. However dear, I draw the line at having the pet I've taken a liking to butchered so. And really, I'd rather not there be bad blood between those whose goals are ever so similar."
Aura spreading out just enough to encompass the ground, and perhaps the surrounding air around a small circular space in which she and her familiar were, it was quite clear that...although Enigma had doubt as to her chances of victory, she would not take kindly to any hostile action made, towards her, or the demon she had taken on as pet...perhaps soon, familiar. Should any action be taken however that would cause the break out of a fight, her first step would be to exploit the fragility of the ground she stood, shattering its foundations with a reverberation of power...and collapse this section of the old town.
