Description
They say Demons do not experience emotion.
That we are only but monsters that destroy the lives of Mortals. (We are technically)
But does a dog not wag it's tail in happiness as it brings the stick back to it's owner? Does a horse not shriek in terror as a predator leaps from it's cover? Does a Dragon Hatchling not cry for it's mother when she has left it alone on the mountain?
Is it all just Instinct? That we force a Wolf to turn against his pack? That we manipulate a General into sending his soldiers to nothing but death? That we cause entire Civilizations to fall for our Enjoyment?
I suppose it Is our instinct. Our Purpose. We are Demons after all. Argaz Demons; Monstrous creatures. We are nothing but Evil magic, born from clashes or disturbances of the Energies beyond.
But I know the truth.
We know Emotion.
I know Fear.
I know Sorrow.
I know Envy.
I know Fury.
I know loss.
I am unlike other Demons. Do you know how I had learnt this?

I died.
But I am not dead anymore.

I was executed in battle. Not long after my homeworld and my Siblings were destroyed by a God.

Life is good.
Do you see? I also know Sarcasm.
I am not fond of gods.

I owe my life to Morrigan, a Sorceress. And my Friend. Demons are not known for having deep mortal Friends. I must be different.
Perhaps even special.
Morrigan needed high amounts of Energy to ensure that I could Rise again, maybe too much. As the dark energy ensured my growth over four weeks, the memories of my three-hundred years of life hit me like a rapid fire of Arcane Bolts.
One in particular.

I remembered a girl. On Earth, a Mortal world.
She was a young girl, playing happily in a park.
But she was not happy. I knew.
I was young too. I had not mastered all of my powers yet, but I matured enough to be able to leave my homeworld. One of my siblings took me to Earth. She said it was a good place for practicing on Mortals.

Demons needed to learn to conceal themselves from the Sensors of Mortals. We seem to work better that way.
It was easy for me. Like closing your eyes.
I followed the girl home with her mother quite easily using this ability of ours. But I soon lost interest and let the night fall.
I came across a Boy that night.
During the day he had spent much of his time on devices the humans called "Videogames". This one involved mortals fighting with Swords.
But instead of fighting with swords, the boy threw the other mortals of cliffs.
In his sleep I manipulated his dream.
I Threw Him off a cliff instead.
I made it dramatic as well. The boy hit the stones below and screamed as he awoke.
He was not going to throw Mortals off cliffs ever again.

I saw the little girl again the next day. The children around her had food.
She did not.
For some reason I assumed control of a Boy who had biscuits and gave them to her.
I did not know why I did that back then. I did not know what Kindness was.

That night I learned how to set Wards and Dissipate them. A ward acts like a wall, or a barrier. But stone walls can be destroyed by cannons or Trebuchet, the same concept applies for Wards.

I tried setting mine on a road for a test.
A car tore through it like paper. My wards were not very strong.
But the car dented and swirved, crashing into a building.
Whoever was in said car Died.
Oops.

I found the Girl again at the park the next day.
She was being bullied by another girl who was bigger than her.
The bully pushed her and snatched her teddy bear. The girl began to cry, the bully tried to run away with her teddy bear.
I invisibly tripped the bully with my talons and she fell on her face, Dropping the teddy bear. She cried too.
I grasped the Teddy bear and tossed it back towards the little girl. But she did not pick it up.
She just looked in my direction.
Then I realised I wasn't invisible anymore. The contact with the Bully must have Disrupted my spell.
The girl stared at me and I panicked, quickly disappearing again.
The little girl snatched her teddy bear and ran home.
I decided to follow her.

Then I found out why she was never happy.
One of my siblings had assumed control of her father. I watched the girl's mother leave after my sibling made her husband hit her. The girl began to cry again.
The Demon made the Father storm towards her. By then I was certain what my sibling was going to do.
By instinct I charged and Fired an Arcane bolt at the father in defense of the girl.
The father fell as the Bolt hit him, my sibling was forced out of his host.
The girl saw both of us and Ran upstairs to her room. I followed her.
She screamed and scurried to a corner at the sight of me.
Soon my sibling came in as well, he hissed at me, then prepared to kill the girl with fire.
"Thatssss Enoouugh!" I hissed back. "I wannt youu to leaaaave herr Alooone."
My sibling stopped forming his flames.
"Youu Whaat....? Ssssshhe issss mooorrtaal!" Staring, he creeped to me. "I thinnnk therree issss sssssomething wroong withh youuu... brotthheerr. We neeed to fix thaat."
Using an Arcane shockwave spell, he forced me onto the Girl's clothing drawers. I winced.
With dark red Flaming talons my Brother swung and Lashed out at me. I ducked and avoided him, crawling away.
He then dove at me, Claws Outstretched. I threw myself out of his path and he crashed into the doors of the Girl's Wardrobe. The girl screamed.
My Brother regained himself and snatched my throat. He was larger and stronger than I. Squeezing my throat, he pressed me up against the wall and lifted me from the floor. I could not match him.
The only thing I could do was dig my claws into his eyes. I was panicking, I could not focus any magic.
He shrieked as I clawed his eye, he Threw me to the floorboards and clutched his head. He started building fire in his hands.
Good thing he kept his eyes to his magic, I regained myself. After I pulled myself onto my Talons again I managed to form Arcane of my own.
I plowed into him by surprise.
My brother hit his head on bookshelves quite hard, he fell to the floorboards, dazed.
I backed away to the door, afraid of what My brother might do to me when he regained his composure.
But my mind turned to the girl, what was he going to do to her?

"Come withh meee..." I raised my talons to her.
The little girl hesitated. Terrified. But intelligent enough to know that my brother was going to kill her. I was not.
She ran to me, I nudged her into the hallway and then down the stairs.
I tried opening the front door, but my Talons just bounced off.
My sibling had warded the front door.
I had to dissipate the ward if we wanted to escape.
Morrigan remarks that Dissipating Wards is simular to melting Ice with fire. I agree with her.
I raised my Talons to the ward. My Talons flickered with the Grey and shiny Dissipation medium. The ward started to break down.
"Quick he's coming!" The girl cried.
I peered back to spot my Brother at the top of the stairs, furious.
I quickened my pace.
Finally the ward faded away.
I pushed the door open and we darted outside. We were free, but not safe from my brother.

The only option I could think of was to take the Girl's arms.
With a kick of my back legs I took to the air, taking the girl with me.
To her Amazement we flew.
We were free. Safe from the Danger of my Sibling.

I brought the girl back to the care of her mother.
I know how to feel.
Demons have emotion.
I cared for the little Girl's safety. But was it only instinct that drove me to protect her?
If I did not feel, I would not be friends with Morrigan. The Mortals are wrong about us.

My name is Reza, and I am one of the two Argaz Demons remaining in this Universe.
I have high hopes for my sibling who was reborn with me.
