to my neck, because I was concerned about
exposing myself. Suddenly, from the right
came another demon in disguise, this one
looking like an animated human, bearing no
markings of the bluish-white of the viper.
Appealing to my vanity, he told me that a
particular gentleman who was very
handsome thought highly of me.
Immediately, I said, "That's not true," but
then stopped myself, because I realized that
they wanted me to argue the point simply
because it might energize my vanity, and
therefore my own destruction. Shouting, I
said, "That's not true, and it's completely
irrelevant!" Disappearing, the dark side was
unavailed by my defiance.
Again approaching from the side, the
main perpetrator (the bluish-white demon
with horns and tail) said, "It is useless, you
can't win this fight. My army is too
powerful." His grin was wide and filled with
sarcasm. "Just give up, come over to our
way, you will eventually have to anyway.
There's no escape from here, my power is
too great for you, you cannot banish me."
Making me very angry, I said nothing to
him, but grabbed a hold of my green cloak of
lost causes, and waved it before him in
brent
