As soon as I am away from the burning soldiers I pick up the scent I have been looking for, giving me a solid trail to follow. Now there should be nothing between me and my people but distance, and at the speed I am going it should only take me a day to catch up to them. As I run I leave a part of my mind tuned to my surroundings and turn the rest towards questioning Drog.
'Drog, why does it seem like shadow demons are so much weaker than normal demons?'
Drog 'They aren't weaker.'
'But when I've fought shadow demons it has been very easy to kill them.'
Drog 'You are comparing them to fighting me right?'
'Well, yeah. You are the only demon I have fought.'
Drog 'You forget that I was a rank five demon. If you were to fight a rank five shadow demon it would be just as strong as I was.'
'Oh, I guess I didn't think of that. So if I fought a rank three demon it would be just as easy as that last fight?'
