*Chapter 2: The Demon's Claw*
Aria stood outside the Demon's Claw headquarters, a nondescript warehouse on the outskirts of Ashenhold. She took a deep breath, mentally preparing herself for the mission ahead.
Infiltrating the Demon's Claw wouldn't be easy. The rival organization was notorious for its ruthless tactics and paranoia. Aria would need to be cautious, using all her skills and charm to gain their trust.
She adjusted her disguise, a black leather jacket and ripped jeans, and knocked on the warehouse door. A burly demon answered, eyeing her warily.
"What do you want?" he growled.
Aria flashed a confident smile. "I'm here to see Vraxxis. I have a proposition for him."
The demon raised an eyebrow but stepped aside, allowing Aria to enter. She walked into a dimly lit hallway, the air thick with the smell of smoke and grease.
As she waited for Vraxxis, Aria's mind racing with possibilities. What would the Demon's Claw leader be like? Would she be able to convince him to reveal his plans?
A door at the end of the hall opened, and Vraxxis emerged. He was a towering figure, his scales glinting like black diamonds in the faint light.
"Ah, Aria," he said, his voice low and smooth. "I've heard a lot about you. What makes you think you have something I'd be interested in?"
Aria smiled, launching into her carefully rehearsed pitch. "I have information about the Angels Dragon Mafia's operations. Information that could give you an upper hand in your... business dealings."
Vraxxis's eyes narrowed, his gaze piercing. "Go on."
