"Yes.... Yes it is." Belthazar sounded confused. "How do you know me?" He asked, scratching the back of his head.

"I donnnn't." Sho said. "This is the secodn time we've met. The last time we met, you did not stick around very looong as you were fighting us. You left shoooortly after I cleaved off another demon's leg."

Belthazar raised his eyebrow, before remembering what Ali had said. "Well... I have no memory of any of that." He stated. "All I remember is when I died, along with what happened before." Belthazar kicked the rubble. "Don't even have a house now... Hell, the village is entirely destroyed."

"Do yoooou want to take tof them......make sure this never happens again?" Sho asked Belthasar. "If they are not dealt with, I do not wiiiiish to know of what could occur."

"Yes, I can hold them off for a bit, but it's inevitable, they overpower me." Belthazar sighed. "And Deumos... There is only one thing that can take her out, no matter how strong you are. You kill her, she'll be back. The spell was supposed to trap her, a counter spell must have been made to free her... Which is why she's now back." Belthazar looked, seeing the route to the bottom of his house open.



"Not good." He stated worriedly. "Someone took the book, that's the only reason it would be open."

"Then I will need to get Nwol to heeeelp somehow. He may be the oooooonly one to seal away the demon. Tell meeee. Does the deeemon come from the true abyss?" Sho asked.

Ali pushed aside her emotions and rejoined the conversation once Belthazar mentioned the his house "Bishamon took the book" she stated. "And about that thing that will give me my regular life back..."

"I have no idea." Belthazar said. "I highly doubt this Nwol can do much tho." Belthazar shrugged. "Wait, so Bishamon is still alive.." Belthazar thought, coming to a silence.


"Bishamon took the book?" Belthazar nodded. "He must be looking for the key.." He turned towards Ali. "It's a simple spell. However, there is absolutely no turning back whatsoever. Once it's done, it's done. You won't remember any of this, and you'll appear to be different to the demons, so they cannot recognize you."

"Well.....you see.....Nwooooooooool is......well.....I killed him.....and came back as a wraith." Sho said somewhat hesitently and then turned to Ali. "Ali. I would thank you id you would staaaaay with us. What if someeething horrible was to haaapen and we needed you."

Ali crossed her arms and thought "On one hand I'll be free from all this madness and return to my life of dancing and studying spell songs. On the other hand I'll have abandoned Juniper, Gar, Sho, and everyone else who are stuck in this like I am....but what about that cursed potion?" She then considered what Sho said "What if something did happen to them...if they died it would be all her fault.." Ali turned to Belthazar and sighed, "Fine, I don't want to return to my normal life, yet.."

"When thiiis is all through....you willl have grown from this experience and you will have your life back." Sho said to Ali with a smile. "As I said, I will help you see this through."

"So be it then." Belthazar said with a sigh. "So indecisive." he thought. "Well, with Bishamon looking for the key, I don't know what to do myself... I supposed I can go find him, then help search. Anyone else got any ideas?"

"Well he sounds glad that I'm not leaving..."thought Ali bitterly. "You should stay here, wouldn't what's her name be stronger in the underworld?"

"Actually, she probably would be..." Belthazar thought. "I can't just stay here and wait tho, I have to do something." He thought. "I got it! I know of a witch, she should have a spell to fix this town right up. I've seen her use it on Bishamon's place."

"And where might this witch be" asked Ali, she slightly doubted that the witch would be able to fix the whole village up after what it's been through.
