Chapter 20 - New friendships

"So I know that I haven't gotten to know many of the demons here, want to help me?" Inshal asked Xzaviar, she felt comfortable around him as if he is kin to her.

"I don't see why not" Xzaviar shrugged, "you can meet the generals, most of them are here". Xzaviar looked around, then took a breath, "Clorsh! come over here! have a drink with us!" he called out and a demon with scars covering half her face walked over.

"You know that I don't do drinks often" Clorsh said in a bored tone. "So you the new queen, hybrid? why else is everyone so hyped about your arrival then?" she took a coulerful drink and say down next to Xzaviar.

"Don't know, but in my opinion they shouldn't worry too much" Inshal shrugged and took a sip of her drink.

"Alright but all I saw was Darkin, Marlos right hand and number one general, bring in this hybrid with black horns, instead of the most common red" she sat herself up straight. "Then this hybrid basically displayed that she is an enemy, comes back hours later with Marlo sparing her and helping her fix her neck. Then it turns out that she is our queen, but yeah shouldn't worry too much" Clorsh exsadirated.

"Ok if you put it like that then it sounds like I shouldn't even be alive right now" Inshal shrugged and took another sip.

"I don't like you, just want to make that clear" Clorsh wacked the table to make sure she has Inshals attention.

"I did nothing to you, and you just decleared that you don't like your new queen, I wonder what your carrier will be like in the future" Inshal made sure that her voice had a harsh tone.

"What are you saying? gonna get Marlo to demote me?" Clorsh challenged.

"No" Inshal shook her head but kept herself calm, "just gonna make it hard for you to do anything else in your life, Marlo made me queen doesn't mean that I rely on him as a threat".

"I see" Clorsh nodded her head with a smile, 'easy, she has a respect for me now' Inshal smiled back. "Well, another drink?" Clorsh asked.

"Yeah, Kelli another round please" Inshal called out, the three of them drank a few more drinks but Inshal stopped when the room started to spin and she thought she saw two Xzaviars.

Inshal didn't feel like dieing like she did last time, instead she was having fun and enjoying herself. They left the common tent after a while, "let's go to that human camp, f-ck around with them for a while" Xzaviar suggested, his words slurred a little.

"That's a good idea, wait the angel probably wouldn't think so" Clorshes voice was also slurred but not too much so you can understand what she is saying.

"What are you talking about" Inshal stumbled on her words when she heard how they were also slurred like the other two. "I would be the one they fear more they you two" Inshal had a grin and Clorsh didn't look too persuaded.

"Really?" she laughed, "alright let's find out" they then went the opposite way of the forest, you the hills and through filds. They didn't fly as much, they would push themselves in the air a little but then came buck down with a giggle.

Over the hills and just past the path was a human camp, they were soldiers fighting in the war. They sat just before they went down and observed the situation. "I don't know about you but they look like they could have some time to chill and relax" Clorsh slurred.

"Yeah, what type of game do you know that would involve most of them?" Inshal asked Xzaviar.

"Probably gambling, poker or betting" he answered clearly the most drunk of the three.

"Perfect, one catch, we don't have their money" Clorsh exsadirated that a little.

"We don't have to gamble, just bet on a few things, make them sin a little" Inshal felt weirdly alive about this.

"Yes looks like there is a real demon in there" Clorsh wacked the back of her head and laughed.

"Well we going?" Inshal slurred a question, not feeling the hit to her head.

"Yep" Xzaviar stood up and Inshal and Clorsh followed. The humans didn't take long to panic and draw their weapons, "calm down just here for a bit of fun!" Xzaviar gestured his arms for them to calm.

"We don't want any evil spirits around!" one of the soldiers spat.

"Spirits! we are not spirits!" Clorsh shouted and marched towards them, most of them tried to slash their blads at her. She dogged, by what looks like muscle memory, and grabbed hold of the obvious general.

"Educate your soldiers" she slurred a threat, "we are purely breed demons, most of us anyway" she hissed unearthly and the general tried to get out of her grip.

"Look, they are just a little startled- wait what the f-ck is that!?" the general screamed and his deep voice cracked.

"Ouch" Inshal swished her tail, "I'm a hybrid, is it not clear?" Inshal slurred while pointing to her halo.

"I see, so you said that you were here for fun?" the general asked and Clorsh let him go.

"Yes, want to make some bets?" she grind and the soldiers was obviously confused.

"And some drinks?" Xzaviar called out and walked in the camp. The soldiers sheathed their weapons but kept their distance, "we are at war, we can't just pause it" the general snapped at them.

"Yes we can" Inshal slurred and smacked his back, "who would attack a camp of drunk soldiers with three demons?" she asked dragging him to the main food table.

"The elfs, they are very brave in a dumb way" he crossed his arms when she let him go.

"True but I'll just shock em" Inshal grabbed a cup and filled it, she gave it to the general, "here you look like you can use one".

"Fine, only because you look like you'll kill me if I don't" he took the drink then chugged it.

They sent hours at the human camp, they dank a little, made bets and won far too many things. "Oh I bet that you won't be able to pull of murdering your general" Inshal slurred a challenge to a soldier she got pretty drunk.

"You kidding, that coward" the soldier took one last shot, "follow me and I'll show you" he grabbed a rifle. He set it up and aimed it at the general, he lined it up and pulled the trigger. A bang left the camp speechless, "traitor!" a soldier screamed. Inshal had a phycotic smile when she saw the soldier she dared fall blooded on the floor, a small hole leaked out blood from his heart.

"Well you lost a general" Xzaviar took the last sip of his drink, "we had our fun here, it's getting late let's go".

"Yeah, the camp is spinning" Inshal slurred a little more then before but she still didn't feel as dead as the first time she drank. They tried to fly back but Clorsh kept flying into her and Inshal saw two Xzaviars. "We should walk the rest of the way" Xzaviar slurred, they landed and started to walk.

"So where are we?" Clorsh looked around at the dark and cold fild, she was shivering and cold sores began to form on Clorsh and Xzaviar. Inshal felt a little chilly but nothing as bad as the other two. "DAD!" Inshal cried feeling a little panicked.

"Don't freak out" Clorsh put her hand on her shoulder, "we'll find a way".

"What?" Darkins voice came from the forest, "you'll all drunk? even Clorsh? what happened?" he sounded very confused.

"Yep" Inshal nodded, she started to act as if she didn't just cry out for help.

Darkin led them back to the camp, it was just around the corner and she felt dumb. "So we going to the firepit?" Xzaviar slurred, "I'm freezing".

"Yeah, let's go" Inshal grabbed him and dragged him the the commen tent.

"How strong are you?" he sounded shocked.

"I'll be able to murder everyone here, so another drink?" Inshal asked and Clorsh nodded.

"Well at least you are not backed out drunk" Darkin shrugged and wondered of. They had a chill time, warming up by the fire and laughing.

"You know, when I first saw you I thought that you would be stuck up and bossy but I was wrong" Clorsh took a sip after spilling her thoughts up.

"Thanks?" Inshal finished her own drink, "well good night, see you all tomorrow" she left and went into Marlos tent.

"You back and drunk?" Marlo frowned, "I'm too tired to deal with this so you're sleeping or you're leaving until you're sober".

"Ok" Inshal yawned and snuggled into his chest, they fell asleep soon after.
