Demon Quote by John Forrester
““look as if it wanted to consume all life and all flesh. Its body tried to reach out toward Talis, but it stopped as if some invisible barrier surrounded him. “Go forth and devour.” Zagros snapped his fingers and electricity shot into the abomination. The demon charged off at a ferocious speed and disappeared into the pale fog. Talis felt sick to his stomach. He wanted to retch. All those years the Rites of Royal Blood performed in Naru had created demons to add to Zagros’s army? And now Talis sensed a connection with the demon that was created with his own blood. He could feel its hunger and power and wrath. It was made from him and in some strange way possessed bits of his own character. Zagros chuckled, as if sensing Talis' realization. “Be gone with you, young royal. The Underworld is””
