“Oh I wouldn’t underestimate the boy. He has the potential to do just that one of these days”, he offered, knowing well of the sin that lived inside him. Had she not ever stopped to think as to why he had been protective of his life? Of course he cared very little for whatever else she had done to him, though the effects of it were obvious and made his blood seem weak by it. Xunatar stepped closer to the barrier. “Normally a trap like this can be disarmed with ease. But your warlock seems to have known what he was doing and made this extra difficult. I take it that he’s not approving of your plans for his extended family? Whatever you did, you sure knew how to piss him off. Though that’s always been your style.”
The demon didn’t blame her- he was known to have similar habits. He didn’t trust her, and she’d be equally a fool to trust him completely. The only difference was that he was free and she, a caged bird. Her train of thought was still narrow, but he pushed it aside for now- there were more pressing issues to address between the two of them.
Xunatar tilted his head and placed it against the back of his closed hand. “Her thirst for vengeance will never be quenched. It is but a dream of fools. She may be able to kill you as many times as she pleases, but at the end of the day, she will not only have one less child that will never come back from it, but she will be no better than you, Cyprus. Revenge corrupts and corrupts fully it does. The heart is and will be her weakness. If you are to exploit it, may I suggest you do so more discretely? This game of cat and mouse hasn’t been in your favor quite yet. It was up to her if she wanted to listen or not, either way wasn’t really a concern for him. He wasn’t sure if she was failing at comprehending this situation or if she had truly been moonstruck. “Well, considering this trap, I do not think he was pleased with the outcome. If he’s disposable to you too, then perhaps I should pay him a visit then?” He could still be of some use, and he always kept a few backup plans in his pocket just in case. The smile, for the first time in a while, faded completely away from his face. In fact, it twisted and into a dark expression as he bore his eyes right through her.
“Cyprus, I care not of what your plans are as long as the boy lives. If your plan is to breed your children together, that is your own prerogative. But I have spent millennias in my plans, something that eludes many of your kind as well as the other races here. I will not have my work ruined just because of whatever you are trying to bring into this world. He was far from being the perfect father, but he didn’t need Colden dead, not when he was one of the Seven. “My work with the Seven Sins will not be for naught. Summon whatever you wish upon this world and I will take Colden away afterwards. We both get what we want, and I’m sure you’d prefer me as an ally and not as your enemy. His arms crossed tightly as he turned his back towards her. “I will make what Angela plans to do to you look like a daydream. I know how to handle lesser demons, and make hell come to them in this plane.”
Once his words slipped out, he relaxed and placed his smile back on his face. “Now, I am aware that your daughter plays a special role in this. From my understanding, there’s something about her blood that can mix with Colden’s demonic blood and make something. Just what sort of thing are you trying to play god with?”
