Pallas rolled his eyes. How righteous. Adorable.
"Yes.. yes, we're clear." The determination and courage to talk back to a creature like him was admirable. Of course, it's easier to do so when one is locked away. Demon wondered if the Warden would stand just as steadily if it was otherwise. Does he even know? Does he know what Pallas was like during his prime? The deadly temptation of possibilities, the lethal lover, the guilty indulgence, the hunger that consumes - all that humans couldn't resist. Sweet words, treacherous deals and overwhelming force - whatever is needed for the moment. He knew that some stories still remain, they must, but how much does this one know?
"Tell me Warden, what did they tell you? What are my crimes? What is the story nowadays?"
"Worried you lost face over time?" Varus huffed at the question, wondering if this was merely a coincidence or the demon felt his own desire for knowledge.
"The all consuming pit of Pallas." The warden began after a prolonged silence, gaze once anew lifted towards the setting sky. Its rays contrasting the colours of the temple behind him.
"Feared to bring nothing of darkness over the first lands. Feeding on the souls and essence of any living being passing in it's wake. A greed like none other some say it is the incarnation of greed and unspoken desires itself. Quite the feat I have to say, it must fill you with pride." The Ionian mused getting on his feet to prepare for the upcoming night shift.
"Unless those were nothing but lies? You wouldn't lie to me now, would you?"
