A Bet with Slutty Evil Being!

Asmodea nodded in response, "Yes, the very same. But don't worry, we are not here to suffer. We are here for a competition."

Alex asked Limbra if she had any idea how Justinian was able to travel between the different realms effortlessly.

"There are, in fact, three different regions where souls go after death: Heaven, where the righteous reside, Hell, where the wicked reside, and Purgatory, where humanoids make their homes. Hell is kept under control by a special family of demons; without them, it would collapse, and its monstrosities would spread to the other realms. If what I think is right, then it would be most beneficial to swiftly form groups with everyone else as you suggested. I'm curious as to how Justinian was able to accomplish this. Perhaps there is some one-of-a-kind spell that paves the way for effortless travel between the domain of Hell and the others... Do you know, Limbra?" Asmodea explained that there are three regions where souls go after death: Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory.

She went on to say that Hell is controlled by a special family of demons who prevent it from collapsing and spreading its monstrosities to the other realms.

"There is no magic trick that I am not aware of. There is none. In all honesty, this is a conundrum that I will have to figure out. It makes no difference; winning this fight is our top priority... It is going to be a lot of pleasure for me to use my stronger powers against our adversaries." said Limbra.

After Limbra's statement, Alex weighed his options before coming up with a plan. "Flying above could be our best option. We need someone who can scout from a higher vantage point and identify allies and foes alike. Once we have that information, we'll divide into two teams of two and search for everyone. We'll meet back here in an hour and a half to two hours, provided that we locate everyone. The tree will serve as a perfect landmark." Alex laid out his strategy in detail, hoping everyone could understand it.

While he had some experience with strategy games, he knew that the reality of the situation could be vastly different. Nonetheless, he remained confident in his plan and hoped it would lead them to their missing comrades.

"It should come as no surprise that I thrive in the air. Because of my magic, I shall be able to glide through the air with ease and speed." Limbra state.

As Limbra prepared to take flight, she extended her long violet wings, which spanned several feet on either side of her. Alex observed the way her wings glimmered in the light, displaying a rainbow of colours as they caught the sunlight. He could feel the wind picking up as Limbra flapped her wings, and the sound of them cutting through the air was audible.

She then unfurled a small umbrella from her bag and held it above her head. Alex couldn't comprehend how the umbrella would help with her flight, but he could see that it was glowing with a faint, violet light. Limbra closed her eyes and chanted quietly for a few moments, and the glow surrounding the umbrella grew brighter and brighter until it was almost blinding.

With a final burst of energy, Limbra took off into the air, rising higher and higher until she was just a speck in the sky. Alex watched in awe as she flew differently from any demon or angel he had seen before, appearing to float more than she actually did fly. As she disappeared from sight, Alex couldn't help but feel grateful that she was on his team.

Asmodea spoke up with a serious tone, her eyes fixed on Alex. "My lord, I must ask that you allow either Orcus or myself to accompany you on your search for the other people. It's not that we have any reason to mistrust Sitri or doubt her abilities, but as members of the Pillar of Lust, it is our responsibility to protect you at all costs." Orcus nodded in agreement, showing his support for Asmodea's suggestion.

"As you know, the competition has become increasingly dangerous, and we cannot take any chances. We must remain vigilant and cautious at all times. Orcus and I have a proven track record of defending ourselves and our comrades whom we with fights, and we will not hesitate to put ourselves in harm's way to ensure your safety," Asmodea continued, her voice unwavering.

Orcus chimed in, "Asmodea is correct, my lord. We are your protectors, and we take that responsibility very seriously. We will not let anything happen to you."

"Ah, ok. Since the real fighting won't start for another day, I seriously doubt that anyone will launch an assault on us before then. But, I will appease you and join forces with Orcus." Alex went with Orcus since he did not want to compete in the game that Asmodea and Sitri enjoyed playing the most. When it came to issues such as those, Alex had a tendency to avoid and withdraw from the situation.

Asmodea nodded, satisfied with Alex's decision. "Thank you, my lord. We will not disappoint you."

To our relief, neither Sitri nor Asmodea grumbled and played along with the groupings that were decided upon. Alex and Orcus started walking in the opposite way from the rest of their company, which had just begun moving cautiously in the direction of the West.

"ahmm... I have a question!, then why don't you talk as much?" Alex addressed the question with an air of intrigue, as he was aware that Asmodea had told him the tale, but he wanted to know if it was accurate or if there was another, more hidden reason that he rarely spoke.
