Chapter 18 - Food

"I guess we got lucky; I struck a deal." Yeah... luck that was definitely a key factor.

"Can you also not talk about God not being in this place? It's not like I believe you or anything because I saw his power with my eyes, but the priest has been through a lot, and I don't want the community to lose their minds again." 

"I'm still telling you the truth; I don't know what you want me to say."

"Look, just keep the three of us. If the others start to have doubts, then we might all just die."

"I'll keep that in mind." He's going to tell everyone, isn't he?

Walking through the town, there were many houses; most of them were roughed up. The houses all had their windows broken, but they were boarded up with wood. And I could also smell... chicken. Looking around, I found myself glancing at a brown building; it looked like your classic steakhouse—nothing too fancy and not too rundown either.

Strangely enough, the steakhouse wasn't rundown. One would think that the steakhouse would be the most torn down. I'm guessing it was taken care of more than the houses.

"hey, you wanna have some food?" Gazing toward the steakhouse

"You don't have to say that twice!" 

Walking toward the steakhouse, I suddenly got a question: "you think they'll even let us eat? we don't even have money."

"The guy did say it was a community, and if it's a community, that means free food."

Walking towards the steakhouse, we entered it and sat down at the nearest table near the door. The smell of chicken was even more present now. When you haven't eaten anything for an entire day while running for your life, it gets to you.

A woman who looked like she was in her forties came up to us. "Welcome, sweethearts; you can call me Harley. You... guys must be new here. What can I get for ya?" The woman said in a Southern accent; she was also looking at Aqgrim pretty hard. I couldn't blame her; it's not every day you get to see such an ugly creature.

"what do you guys have?" 

"Oh! At the moment we only have chicken and mushroom soup."

"i thought meat was unattainable here?"

"It is; it's just that we got lucky last week, and someone got sent here after grocery shopping; if you were here two weeks ago, the only thing you could've eaten is a tree."

"then i guess we'll have two of each."

"Got ya! I'll get the food ready in six minutes."

The woman went out towards the kitchen. "i thought she would've been more discriminatory." 

"Hey, I'm just saying if the guy back at the church agreed for me to stay then why would they discriminate plus they've seen worse."

"you make a good point, i guess."

"You know what they say; never judge a demon by their face."

"no one has ever said that i can promise you that." Now he's just spitting bull. "by the way, what happened to that Demonic Energy?"

"That, yeah, it's gone now. I do know one thing though; it's that that demonic energy belonged to Gluttony."

"so, you're saying it guided us?"

"I think so; the only reason why I said to come to Nevada is because the Shard of Gluttony was last seen there."

Of course, he didn't even tell me, "at least tell me that before we left!"

"What's the fun in that? You need to leave it a mystery."

Harley came towards our table, holding a tray of food. "Ok, sweethearts, here's your chicken and mushroom soup."
