Zeliek began to focus his power around the souls of her family.
"Take my hand, then. It'll take both of our powers to bring them back as demons."
"So what do you want to do with them, Maya?"
Zeliek cut a rift in the air with his scythe and pulled the souls of Maya's departed family from the rift.
"I can. You'll be able to speak with your family, and if they were a true family, they will respect the choice you made. I'll be able to make them into demons if you want me to. If they displease you when you speak to them, then you can eat their souls."
"Would you like to speak with their souls?"
Cyrus walked to his room and fell asleep next to Aerith.
"What happened to your family?"
"Where did you get that ring?"
"Must be a testament to their weakness. Demons only take two weeks to give birth."
"Not too long now until you give birth. I wonder how many kids we'll have."
Cyrus followed him inside.
"You don't have to worry about them, though. I won't let any one of those barbarians lay a hand on you. Even if I fall in battle, I'll be back at your side the next day."
"A lot more training. We better get some sleep and start bright and early tomorrow."
"We're the world's only hope, huh?"
"Now you see why I hate humans."
"You two will have to learn to work together if you want to have any chance in beating Kuro."
Zeliek drove the cart back to the manor. As soon as he got the cart on the manor grounds, he cast off his disguise.
"Everything's loaded on the cart, so let's get back to the manor."
"As hard as it is to believe, it's the truth."
