"Stop talking nonsense! How can our father not be in this place? He is everywhere. He is always with us!"
"You have to accept the truth. You can't get rid of me." He was in a bountiful amount of joy, taunting the priest and grinning at the same time.
"wait, you said it was bad, didn't you?"
"I love the fact that God's authority can't reach this place. But it's still bad news."
"STOP THIS INSOLENCE. I WILL NOT TOLERATE ANY OF YOUR LIES, DEMON!"
"You can deny the truth, but the truth is still there." Aqrim was now on the floor laughing out loud. You can just tell he's in so much joy right now.
"stop laughing and tell us why it's bad."
"*cough* It's bad because nothing can block God's authority."
So, not only is this place a death trap, but it also defies logic: "so, what you're saying is that it should be impossible."
"I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT! YOU'RE LYING ALL THESE YEARS HE HAS ANSWERED MY PRAYERS IN THIS PLACE." The priest put both of his hands on each one of his ears.
"You two need to shut up. I don't care what you're saying because I know that he is here with us. I saw his miracles with my very own eyes!" The man lifted his arm, drawing his gun and pointing it at us.
"woah, let's not do this please." This stupid demon is going to get us killed! Shut up, you damn demon.
"If you see miracles, then me being here is a miracle. Who are you going to trust your own eyes or a demon who can't get exercise?"
*bang* A loud bang was heard; the gun had been shot directly at Aqrim. But it didn't go through him; the bullet got deflected as soon as it hit his skin. Ricocheting left and right
"oh shit!" Ducking my head down as the bullet bounced everywhere... wait, how did the bullet even do that? If the bullet bounced off his skin, then how did it bounce off the wall? *Bang*
When the bullet bounced off the wall, it landed near my feet. "that... was close, and how was that even possible?"
"That's a trade secret that you'll never get the answer to."
"W-what how?"
"I got tough scales, buddy; these bad boys deflect almost anything coming at me."
"Then I'll just shoot someone else." He was pointing his gun directly at me! Wait what.
"we can talk about this, right?"
"I'm not allowing you to do that; if he dies, then I go down with him too."
"the contract?"
"The contract."
"*tch* Fine, but you two are not staying in this place."
"what! that's so unfair."
"Oh, stop complaining. Be happy. I let you live in the first place."
"How about this? If you let us stay here, then I'll help you all leave this place." He was now proposing an idea that was impossible for him to even do... Wait, is he going to use me?!
"And why should I trust you? You are a demon after all."
"Hey, who's the one that said God's authority couldn't reach this place? That's right, it's me." That is a horrible argument; there's no way that will wor-
"You make a good bargain. You got yourself a deal." Huh??? How??? Oh, well, I can't really complain now, can I? He runs a good bargain.
"how did you?"
"Trade secret."
"Since we've made the deal, you guys can live here. But this town is a community, so you must help everyone out. You got that?"
"wait, can you just choose who stays and leaves?"
"I'm the one who looks over this town, so I get to choose."
