Chapter 7 by Thorn_ Thorn_

Whose the voice watching your anti-climatic fight, belong to?

Maya, the illusionist demon.

"Aren't you two getting along so well?" The sultry female voice comes from almost everywhere around you and, it's impossible to find the source. The girl, that you've been fighting isn't focused on you either, also trying to determine where the speaker is. "Deception against deception. It's more lovely to watch without direct confrontation, don't you think?"

"Hey. Why don't you and I talk for a bit?" You have no reason to suspect her to show herself while readying a charge of Ice Cannon. "Up here, dear." True to her words, a black dot forms on the ceiling as the shadows from the corners of the wall seem drawn to it, as it takes shape. The shape forms into something close to a human woman but not quite. It's skin is with an almost onyx black, matching it's hair. It's eyes are covered by the darkness and in a weird way, it's almost reminiscent of someone wearing a catsuit.

"You...Maya?" The girl that you've been fighting seems to surprised to prepare an attack as the thing that you know must be some sort of demon proceeds to crawl down the wall. "So you've heard of me? The goddess of illusion? Then you should assume why, I've been watching the progress of you two." Her head traces over to the ice stream that you're readying but doesn't even make any attempt to ready an attack. "Settle down. I won't have that hostility in my new servants."

"Servants?" She says it before you can. After Maya crawls down the wall to the floor, she stands upright and is clearly taller than the average adult, let alone you two. "Yes. As you two know the game is starting soon. I can't say I'm impressed. Neither of you even thought of the cameras, did you? It's something I can destroy easily, at least. Of course, that's not my only offer. If you wish to do more than live the tournament, and want to come out on top in more ways than one, you should be on my side."

"Your side?" You have to repeat. The idea of letting anyone else be the boss is repulsive. But a demon. A clearly strong one, will know how to survive the tournament. "Yes. It's what I've said. I'm here for the two that I want. The Ice Prince and the Slag." You may have not been on the best of terms, but that seems like a bit much. "Wow. Rude."

"Slag" describes the scoria from a volcano." The girl pushes up her glasses, while correcting you. Maya simply looks at both of you, with impatience. "Considering the game is about to start, we will only have so much time today. Simply put, if you choose to obey me than you will be rewarded. I won't kill you yet, for saying no. I don't need the both of you, although I'd prefer it. Are you joining me or not?"

Do you join with Maya, and does Julia?
