Eternal (Private RP)

Before Sana even realized it, the pair reached a castle. Sana was fairly certain that Astaroth did some sort of teleportation magic, especially considering the sudden change in scenery. As they arrived Astaroth had quickly began talking about what they would be traveling in and everything. Admittedly it seemed like Astaroth was quickly taking control of the situation and moving Sana along before she had a chance to react. While Sana could understand Astaroth's excitement and everything, Sana had to be careful to make sure that Astaroth's pace kept with her own.

"Well Astaroth. It certainly is a nice looking castle I suppose. I mean, I don't really have any to compare it to. This is the first one I've actually seen in person. But about this ship you're wanting to use. I feel like that would be defeating one of the purposes of me traveling. You use ships as a way to quickly get to a destination. But I'm not in any rush. If we take a ship then I fear we would simply pass things by instead of actually being in the regions. Walking, as long and boring as it may be, gives a closer feeling to actually being somewhere."

 

"Well... Umm... Yeah..." Sana started to speak with a blush on her face, thinking of what to say. "Your sisters... They seem... Friendly? I mean... It is good they are so close? Umm... Yeah..." Sana let Astaroth drag her away, shuddering at the thought of what the alternative would be if they stayed near Astaroth's sisters too long. Admittedly Sana wasn't sure if Astaroth was trying to rush anything or not. Something about meeting up with her father. Sana wanted to question the importance of her being there while Astaroth met up with her father. But then again, the alternative would be her being alone and potentially being prey for those three sisters.

"Why are you going to meet with your father?" She asked.

 

"Scared? I wouldn't be scared of him unless his strength was comparable to grandpa's." Sana thought to herself as the pair stood outside the doorway.

They walked into the room, heading straight towards where Astaroth's father sat. Sana quietly marveled at the room, looking every which way. It was indeed a room worthy of a castle. But perhaps it was a bit too excessive for one demon king and his four daughters. Surely other people, or other things, lived in this castle.

Sana looked at Asmodeus as they got closer. He certainly gave off the appearance of one titled Demon King. That did increase the intimidation factor a bit. "The world truly is full of strong people. I wonder what grandpa would think, knowing I'm at this castle right now."

Asmodeus spoke to the pair, going off on a slight tangent about an heir before focusing on Sana. Admittedly him talking lessened the intimidation he gave off. But that would not be enough cause to forget any sort of manners. After he spoke, Sana bowed down and spoke herself. "I thank you for your generosity sir. I apologize for any inconvenience my presence may cause you."

 

"I'm slowly starting to wonder what happened to an innocent and simple journey to explore the world." Sana jokingly thought to herself as she left the throne room. "I'm not some political envoy dammit."

Reaching Astaroth, Sana quietly exhaled and then forced a smile to Astaroth. "Well, that went well. Fathers have a tendency to show that they care in the strangest of ways, don't they?" She quickly took Astaroth's hand and began walking. "Moving on. You should show me around. Y'know, since I've never been here before. Do you have any cool secret passageways or anything to get around quickly with?"

 

"Corridor of pain sounds fun. I wonder if it really is painful. Oh well. Now's not the time to be sneaking around. Although I did apologize for any and all trouble I may cause her father, it would be best to not deliberately cause any sort of trouble if I can avoid it."

"Race ya." She smiled, quickly darting ahead of Astaroth. Sana ran though the passageway, soon reaching Astaroth's bedroom. "Ooooooohhhhhh. How nice. And clearly your dad wasn't lying about having a big bed." Sana jumped up onto it and sat down "Come on." She spoke, tapping an area on the bed right next to her with both of her hands, signaling Astaroth to sit next to her. "We've got some catching up to do."

 

"Begin at the beginning of course. Where else does one start?" Sana answered. "Tell me what you've been doing since I last saw you. All the places you've been, all the things you've done. Any cute boys you've met along the way. After all, living a life like yours must be exciting. I bet you've been to all sorts of places in this world and the other ones. I want to hear all about the outside world before I go out an experience it myself."

As she spoke of all the things she wanted to hear, there was a certain thought that lingered in the back of her mind. More of a desire than a thought. Astaroth's father mentioning not wanting Sana to interfere with his plans for Astaroth; Sana's own parents concerned about her as she traveled. These things almost seemed to be orders for Sana to do or not do, with no concern for Sana herself. She wanted to get away from those types of things as soon as possible. The sooner she truly began exploring the world then the sooner she would be free from people telling her what to do. It was something she badly wanted, even if the exact thought never came to mind.

 

"Uh-huh. Well..." Sana started, not entirely sure what to say. She figured it would be better to start with a more lighthearted reply. "Thanks for saying that I'm cuter than any of the boys you've seen. But then again, girls tend to be cuter. And while it might be a bit vain with me acknowledging my own cuteness, there are many other people who are so much better looking than I am. So maybe you just haven't found anybody that really grabs and takes hold of your attention. I dunno. I think you're bound to find somebody eventually. I'd love to see any child of yours if you ever give birth. As for your father wanting you to create an heir..." Sana paused for a moment to think of the proper words to say. "Hmm... Personally I don't think it really matters at all if he has an heir or not. I can't exactly speak about the enslavement part, but any attempt to destroy the people on this planet would be stopped. As I recall from grandpa's tales about the worlds, there are plenty of people who would stop any sort of action that gets taken too far. Lemme think..."

Sana thought about the various people she had heard tales about. People who were so strong they had no equals outside of themselves. Admittedly not all of them would get involved in issues that did not concern them, such as genocide. But some of them would. "There is that one pair grandpa dubbed the immortal lovers. There is the wandering witch. Hmm... There is that one man everybody calls the 'God of Magic,' though from what I hear he hasn't been seen in a long time. And I know there are a few others I have been told about but I can't quite think of them at the moment. Oh, and there's grandpa too."

Admittedly, this sort of talk was going to head in a direction Sana most certainly did not want to go down. So she quickly went to move the topic elsewhere. "Anyways, as for what you want and what your dad wants, all I can really say is that you should do whatever it is that you want to do. I mean, if you're stuck between a choice that would make you happy and somebody else unhappy or a choice that would make somebody else happy but you yourself unhappy, then I feel that the only proper choice to pick is the one that makes you happy."
