"Here's your chicken and soups." She put plates and bowls on each of our sides. "If you need anything, call me and enjoy," she said with a sweet and kind-hearted smile.
"so, what were we talking about again? oh, yeah, the shards."
"If we want to get each shard, we're going to need to get out of here first."
"didn't you say it was last seen here?"
"No, I said it was last seen in Nevada, and just because it was last seen there doesn't mean it'll be in Nevada. It's probably up in Canada now or something; maybe even Mexico."
"you're saying the shard has a mind of its own?"
"Yeah, all of them have one; that's how they've been avoided for so long, and because demons don't want to collect any of the shards."
Taking my spoon and scooping a spoonful of the soup. "do demons just don't want to collect any?"
"Every demon wants to collect all seven shards; it's just the drawback might be a bit too much. Think of it like this: each shard has a sin in them. For example, wrath, demons already have a hard time controlling desires. What would happen if a demon was able to get ahold of one?"
"they would completely go crazy and probably attack anything on sight."
"Exactly follow that after death by an angel, and no demon wants a shard. Demons are dumb, but not that dumb; with the exception of me of course." Ok, buddy, sure.
"surrrre, i believe you..." I don't. "by the way, have you found a way out of here yet?"
"Pft no. We haven't done much exploring; if we want out of here, we need to look at every nook and cranny in this place." He said with with a scoff.
"and about god, i know you want to say it but don't." Grabbing another spoonful of soup. "don't wanna give everyone mass hysteria."
"I hate that you're right, but it doesn't seem like they're lying either. Something is giving them hope, and it's not god." He said while eating a piece of chicken breast. "I can't sense what it is now since it hasn't shown its Demonic Energy yet."
"Why not Divinity? Everything can't just be demons, right?" I mean, maybe it's an angel.
"Angels are part of God's Authority; no point in saying it's them since his Authority doesn't affect this place." I just had a really stupid idea...
"what about the other Gods?"
"You know damn well all of them are dead. Didn't you learn this in history class or whatever?"
"of course i did, but we can't take any chances." Cutting a piece of the chicken, "there's still a chance. i heard in greece people still worship clotho, lachesis, and atropos."
"Yeah, that's called a cult." He said eating a piece of chicken
"and worshiping demons isn't?"
"I never said that it is, and people are of course going to worship fate. Who doesn't want their life to be successful and not cut too early?"
"i guess you have a point." We have now finished both of our plates. Harley came over to us.
"Looks like you two are done. Before it turns dark, you should go and find Dale. He can lead you two to your house; Dale's usually in the parking lot four blocks from here. Hurry up or the monsters will get ya."
Walking out of the steakhouses, we walked to the parking lot. It was close to dark since the sun was slowly falling. There was a faint smell of cigarettes in the parking lot, but I had worse. The smell used to bother me, but not anymore since that incident.
