40 The Evil (1/2)

He dragged a woman in chains behind him. He walked and she followed. She was a Blackcloth. The black clothes sewn into her skin with wire.

He, Harumi, walked down the path for a good three meters, until he chanced upon a hole in the ground. He saw the cavity, large enough to fit a human near The Ahab's city of sin, and he surmised that it was formed with magic.

Harumi constructed an altar and burned rotten flesh he had stored in his satchel. He was divining. He was summoning a demon with a multitude of dances. He cried and wailed with a horrible visage, and the woman looked on in horror.

A demon appeared. It had the appearance of a whale, and it was large. It looked over Harumi, and its figure was half visible amidst the smoke rising from the altar. The whale's eyes, though beady, held anger within and violent thoughts.

The demon said, ”Why have you summoned me? What is it you seek? What do you truly think?”

Harumi said, ”I summon you for knowledge. I seek Leo Lionsmane. I think you will lead me to him.”

The demon said, ”What will you offer? Your life? What will you sacrifice?”

Harumi said, ”I offer this Blackcloth woman. I will not offer my life. It is her I will sacrifice.”

The woman started to run, but Harumi didn't stop her.
