"The demons held her soul," Nyai Rasmi said after examining Gendis' body for several hours.
{What shall we do, Nyai?}
The only option was to retrieve her soul from them.
"We must ask the mountain demons for help, my wife. Their enemy is our enemy."
"Yes, I understand. They also asked Jagat to talk to the Lord of the Forest yesterday. We can use that."
{I doubt they can talk nicely, Nyai. I have thought of another way}
"What is your plan, my son?"
{To infiltrate and take Gendis' soul there}
Jagat had not yet said he was skilled at infiltration, but his eyes showed confidence that this plan made more sense than negotiating with the demon lord of the forest.
Thieves deal only with the giver of stolen goods. In this case, the forest demons had stolen Gendis's soul.
In this case, however, Sabrang disagreed that this was the work of only a handful of forest demons.
