Chapter 5 - The meeting

As the pair of cat and demon walked forwards, the deviled one continued her observations.

Looking around, she could see that the walls had many different paintings, plaques and even heads of different animals.

There were some doors here and there, but to no extent as many as at the lowest floor.

Before she even realized it, they came to a place that resembled a dining room.

On the wall, she could see a big wooden tablet.

She also saw that the tablet had some papers on them. The deviled one could see that something was written on them, but she couldn't understand the language.

Right in the middle, was a big bleu table on a blue carpet right at the center of the room

The table was indeed big, but she could also see that four red chairs around the table.

The type of wood utilized for them wasn't something the deviled one could recognize.

Feeling something cold touching her feet, she looked down.

Funnily enough, she only realized now that she wasn't wearing any shoes.

That was why the floor, which was made out of some unknown brown material made her feel a cold shiver run in her back.

The cat then jumped on the table, curled itself up, and proceeded to sleep.

As the deviled one tried to sit down at one of the chairs, but the chair moved itself, picked her up, and closed in towards the table.

RIP

Oh, and that resulted in her dress now tearing up.

From her back side at least.

Now, the deviled one feared to stand up.

She knew she had a big hole at her back side.

She didn't wish to know what the owner would think of her when he finds the dress that he gave her was ruined.

But then her attention moved towards the room where they seemed to be.

The table was currently empty, but she found out different things in the room.

Five massive halls, including the one she came from, were seen to intertwine inside the room where she currently was.

The one which was the closest to the one she came from emitted a violet glow, another one had a azure glow, while the other one was green.

And on top of that, the deviled one could see two doors.

One was made out of some dark wood. Strangely id didn't seem to possess any handles.

The other one was almost invisible.

The deviled one couldn't explain it, but somehow the door seemed to be part of the wall itself.

The only reason why she could tell that the door was there was because she could feel a faint sense of magic coming out of there.

And feeling closer, she could feel another thing.

The owner was right behind that door.

She stood up and was about to go towards the hidden door, but then she saw how the dress started to open up from behind.

She instantly sat down, not wanting the owner to see her in such state.

Looking around, she saw that the cat was no longer at the table.

He was slowly approaching towards a blue box.

That was until she realized that the box wasn't a mere box, but a transparent box made out of glass.

The reason why it was blue was because of the water inside of it.

Then she also sensed life in the transparent box.

'Fish', the deviled one realized.

Jumping up, at the top of the box, the cat started to put forward his paws.

It seemed that it tried to catch the frightened fish inside the box.

The fish not being so happy, constantly ran towards the other side of the box, not wanting to be caught in the paws of the cat.

This play went for a good few minutes, and the deviled one had to admit it did seem quite amusing.

And then, her heart skipped a beat.

A load BOOM came right from the hidden door where the owner was.

The sound made the cat jump in surprise, which then made it accidently fall inside the box.

Angrily it somehow managed to get out of the wooden box, and then annoyed, angerly and wet it went towards a small fire place, which the deviled one only now realized appeared.

The hidden door opened, and out of it came a big coughing figure.

Because of the smoke it didn't see him at first, but then as the green smoke disappeared, she could see the figure in front of her.

It was a big muscular reptilian man, wearing a green and black attire.

She couldn't see his face because of the green mask that the reptilian humanoid wore.

Covered in scales, the reptiloid opened his serpentine yellow eyes and stared at the room he came from with a slightly disappointing look.

Then when his eyes saw the deviled one, the figure caught again, taped a bit of his dust from his clothes, and slowly, approached the table.

His eyes meanwhile didn't let of the site of the deviled one.

When he came, he sat at the opposite side of the table, and then continued to look at her.

For a few moments, the only sound that was in the room was the sound of fire, the snoring of the cat and the bubbling of the fish.

The deviled one was about to say something, but the owner started.

"Good morning."

That was a start.

"I see you are awake. What do you think of my small home?"

'This is what is small? There is an entire jungle under us, and you call this place small?'

But the deviled one didn't give that response.

Instead, she answered that she was quite pleased and impressed by it.

"I am sssshhhure you have sssssomme quessstions, but firsssstly I wissssh to know sssomething else."

The reptiloid said those words with a slightly carefree voice, while pulling out too cups out of somewhere.

One had a green emerald in it, the other one did not.

The reptiloid then made a small bottle of some different kind of liquid appear in his side, and poured out the liquid into both cups.

He then stood up, took the cup with the emerald, and brought it towards the deviled one.

"Here, take it."

The deviled one stared at the cup.

Something told her that there was something inside the cup, which made it not some normal liquid.

Not taking the cup, the reptiloid gave a small sigh, and took a sip.

Then he put the cup in front of her.

"It issss not poisonousss. Drink."

He then returned towards his seat, and drank from his cup.

The deviled one then decided to do the same.

Seing that she did that, the reptiloid the started to question.

"Firssstly, what happened to the dressss. Two: Why issss your sssskin blue. Threee, why issss one of my ssspiders on your head. And lassstly, who and what are you?"
