"Don't do such a thing, halfling. I know you still want to live." Krygsto's voice shook, and perhaps this would be the very first time that Red would hear a daemon become scared.
"Let my warrior go, and the other faey you are talking about. Then I won't kill myself."
Red wanted to take this matter into her own hands. She was tired of always being played around, clueless and powerless with so many things.
"What are you waiting for daemon? Pull them out of the fake world of temptation you have put them in!"
Krygsto was having second thoughts.
What if Red was just bluffing?
If she was to release the other faeys from her captivity, then Red would gain allies and could easily defeat her.
If she wasn't pulling the daemon's leg though and really kill herself, then Krygsto would definitely die in the hands of the other first daemons afterwards.
They wouldn't be happy with her failure, and neither would the Darkling be.
