"Sigh these bounties are far beyond what I can handle anyways…"
"For now… once I get my powers back, it will be different!"
Author: It really won't...
After the cocky mutt got itself half a dose of reality it looked more towards the jobs with less rewards, but with significantly less risk.
"What to do…. what to do…"
The poster board would magically manifest papers of information and a particular phrase kept showing up.
Squirming its way out of the crowd of demons it went to ask flora what a "familiar" was.
"Oh it's a contract you enter with a human and you will be at their command. It's quite popular with the lower class demons who have nothing to lose. There are even some high class demons who initiate a contract to some human who had taken their fancy", Flora explained.
"What!?! I am a god, to be reduced to a servant is unthinkable!!!", the mutt was strongly opposed.
"I can't have fallen this low can I…?"
"How many faith points do I have?", it asked the Thoth system.
"Still Zero.", it replied with stone cold reality.
Okay mady not…
"No, No! I will not stoop so low!", the mutt reaffirmed itself… with a bit of reluctance.
*Ding!*
"Small proficiency in the sin of pride achieved!"
"Hmhp~", the mutt felt better about its choice already.
Author: Well see~
The mutt: I'm getting a bad feeling about this….
"I want to join the legion!", the mutt declared, standing on its hind legs and booping its soft paw on the counter. It was quite confident since its breakthrough with the power of sin.
"Are you sure? The armies of god are no joke. There are lots of risks and you can lose your life.", Flora warned.
"So do you know the hierarchy of the angels?", asked Flora.
"Nope", the mutt shook its three heads.
"Going in order, in the third sphere are the basic angels who are foot soldiers very much like the minion class demons."
"They sometimes have some former mortals that worshiped their heavenly father and granted a status of higher power."
"They are guardians of people and make up most of the common types of angels. These angels are sent as messengers to humanity. We demons whose job is to temp mortals into sin often battle them in the mortal realm trying to sway the mortals. Angels may also protect and warn humans as well as act as warriors on behalf of God."
"Next are archangels, who function as pioneers for change by inspiring explorers, philosophers, and leaders. And they are watched over by the next class of angles, the principles."
"In the second sphere, the powers. They take orders from the angels above and convert them into miracles for the deserving"
"Next are the Virtues. Virtues are known for their control of the elements.In addition to being the Spirits of Motion, they also assist in governing nature. They also assist with miracles.
Next, the Dominions who act as middle management. They receive orders from seraphim and cherubim, that issue out duties to the "worker bee" angels of the lower spheres. Their main purpose is to make sure that the cosmos remains in order by sending down power to heads of government and other authority figures."
"Then are the thrones. These angels are the keepers of celestial records and hold the knowledge of God. "
"Cherubims, are the next and are often in the presence of god himself, Yahweh" (Yup god has a name, he has several others but this is the one that came up first)
"Finally the mightiest and closest to god, the Seraphim. Many great demons who held this title, that have fallen are magnificent demon kings now, all eligible top contenders to be the ruler of hell, the anti god!", Flora explained with madness and a tinge of revery.
(Demon hierarchy if ya forgot: knights, counts, marquises, lords, princes, and finally the kings)
The mutt grew concerned as Flora started to rant further and further out of control.
"So this is how mortals view gods, my followers weren't this fanatic about me..."
Arthor: Of course not, you were at most just a mascot.
The mutt: ....
Arthor: Of course, I shouldn't tell him that he gained a huge following after Horus forged a new sun for it, lest it gets too confident...
Flora was a demon, yet she spoke fondly of the angels and didn't show the kind of disgust a regular demon would display. In fact it felt she still had some lingering attachments of the sorts.
"Ahem~"
"Thats the gist of it, would you still like to participate, number 3?"
The mutt: Im not so sure now...
