Furcas: Knight in Shining Armor
How hast thou traveled? By hooves? By wing? Come, come, hurry now I have better things to do than babysit a mortal such as you. Duke Haures turns to look at you over his shoulder “Is that such a terrible request to make to simply hurry? “Doesn’t matter I suppose as long as you are here and I can be done with this".
Looking you over rather intensely a glint appears in his oval eyes. “Sit. No not there. Here” He commands. That is a much more comfortable chair for you. I wish nothing but for your pleasure during this stay".
It has been a long while since I have had someone visiting. I am unsure if I like it or not right now. But while you are here let us share a story or two to wile away the time".
You begin to answer, but he cuts you off abruptly. “I’ll go first” he says matter of fact. “I am Houres, Great Duke of Hell. Commander of 36 legions of spirits. There have been those to say that I hold the ranking of Grand General and command 20 legions. Twenty or thirty six matters very little. Wouldn’t you agree? Of course you would".
He shrugs his shoulders and goes on. “In the beginning there was nothing. Nothing which comes unto Chaos with Chaos became the Universe. All were equal back then. Demons there were none to be had, only Angels (as they were called) serving the One. As is with any large community there are bound to be uprisings and take over. Battles of Will. Petty quarrels of who is right and who is wrong. Much like where you are from". he laughs. “of course, the One had the ultimate rule since it was the Ones place, so it was that quiet a few of us were, shall we say demoted and removed".
“I find the term Fallen Angels very quaint” wiping a mock tear from his eyes. Touching story so far, isn’t it?”
“Now where was I?” Oh yes in the middle.” “Creation and our fall. It really was for the best you know. I feel pretty good about the outcome and myself.” “I would not have been able to achieve the position I hold now had we remained.” Raising his eyes above him. “Thankfully that is all in the past and life is good".
My appearance in my true form is that of a leopard. Only when the Exorcist commands me to do so will I turn into human form. I am mighty, terrible and extremely strong. I will give true answers of things that are past, present and future when in the triangle.
Mainly I love to speak of creation and the Divinity. I could go on and on endlessly. I can destroy and burn those that are the Exocists foes. Have you any you would like destroyed? Or are you an Exorcist at all? I am constrained by Divine virtue.
Once with the Exorcist I will not allow him or her to be tempted by other Spirits or any other entities of any nature.
Basically you see human I am not as bad as some of my fellow house mates. Never think though that i would not destroy you for I would and relish every second in doing so.
“I see that our time is nearing an end. I do hope that you learned much from our conversation. If we had more time I could tell you grander tales but there is no time.
He turns to walk away and has converted back to his favorite shell, the leopard. He leaps towards the wall and is gone.
There alone you wait. There was no mention as to who you would visit next. Is this the end of your journey? You are relieved to think that. First though you must make sure. SHould you attempt to leave the comfort of your chair and try the door that you see?
Are you brave enough to walk out that door? We will see human. We will see
