3rd Person POV
"Interesting..." Whisp said while thinking for a few seconds about the proposal
"Do we have a deal?" Hector asked and his voice showed a hint of desperation to which the Whisp replied "Well, I can't refuse such a great offer. We have a deal! Meet me at XXXXXX location at this xxxx time and I'll take care of the rest."
"Understood!" Hector replied and hung up the call but The Whisp didn't leave immediately and made another small magic circle. The magic circle connected
"Good evening, Boss" the Whisp greeted the other side and a man with a laid-back tone replied "Ah Whisp, how are you doing?"
"Enjoying life as usual, Boss. I have a new whisper and it was an interesting one" he said and his boss got curious because Whisp information was always reliable and interesting.
"What is it?" the boss asked and Whisp replied "One of my marks called and requested an escape for two from the devil's territory and passage all the way into Hell. They want my help to meet Hades and they say it involves something powerful and as payment, they guarantee to make me an ultimate class which sounds dangerous" Whisp said without showing any temptation. It showed his loyalty to his boss
"Oh, now that does sound interesting. Who is it?" the boss asked with curiosity at it's peek
"This one is a scientist named Keath who was under the employment of a noble pure-blooded devil from the Old Satan Faction" Whisp replied
"Old Satan Faction you say… Where is the meeting spot?" the boss asked and Whisp said "XXXXXX Location in the Underworld"
"Good job little crow. Let me take care of this and as usual, I'll send some money, have fun"
"Thank you, Boss" The call ended and the Whisp went back into the tavern to find the woman who had entertained him but she was already with someone else.
He went near her and tapped on her shoulder and she turned around and said "You are back!" but she immediately lost interest and spoke "As you can see, I'm busy with this sir" She said
A fat man in merchant clothing had his hand around her hip. His face had a mocking smile toward Whisp when he heard her reply
"Too bad, here I was ready to pay you triple" Whisp said and was about to turn around but the woman quickly slapped the fat man's hand away and hugged Whisp's right hand into her tits
"Let's go, Mr. Adventurer" she said excitedly and started walking away.
The fat merchant asked "Hey, What about me" to which she replied, "Find someone else, fatty". The merchant couldn't get angry as Whisp had a strong build and looked like an actual adventurer.
Now, Whisp had a mocking smile toward the fat merchant as he walked out with her, toward his room.
At XXXXXX Location
Both Keath and Hector were almost at the meeting spot. The Underworld was a huge land mass without any sea and held different species occupying its huge terrain.
There were so many remote places in the Underworld so Keath didn't worry about being found by someone else on the way. He knows that the Whisp wouldn't meet in a populated or dangerous area.
Finally reaching the location, both signed in relief. Their meeting spot was near a mountain foot filled with trees and vegetation.
As time ticked away, Fear started to take root in Keath's heart because even after waiting for a few minutes the Whisp still hadn't shown up and it was well past the meeting time.
'He usually is on time but it's been a few minutes and he still hasn't turned up. Is it my imagination or something was not right' Keath thought
"Where the hell is this guy!" Hector asked while gritting his teeth in frustration
*Crack* *Snap* *Crack* *Snap*
The sound of Twig sound startled both Hector and Keath, as they turned to the side of the sound came from but only saw darkness within the trees
"Who's there?" he shouted mix of alertness, but no reply came back
*Quiet*
No reply came back and it was very quiet, too quiet to the point of making them feel uncomfortable.
The two of them looked at each other "Shall I go, check it out?" Hector asked trying his best to control his growing fear
"Don't.., something is definitely wrong. That Whisp is usually on time but he is still not here!" Keath said while thinking about what to do next
"What should we do now? He was our last hope!" Hector asked, unable to think
"First, we get out of here, this place could be compromised and then we will plan our next move on the run" Keath said and Hector nodded and when both of them were ready to leave
"Leaving so soon" a voice from the darkness asked in a laid-back tone but, still it increased fear within them as the two of them turned towards the voice
A man in his twenties, dressed in black was walking towards them from the darkness of the forest with a smile on his face.
He casually leaned against a tree, looking at them and the smile never left his face. He was a tall man with an average build, black hair with golden front bangs, and a black goatee.
On the other hand both Hector and Keath were clearly overwhelmed by his presence to the point of visibility shaking
Cold sweat covered both Hector and Keath's back because they knew who he was and how dangerous this person is.
'What the hell is this guy doing here, wait. The Whisp is a rogue fallen angel. Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! That bastard, I will kill him if I get out of this alive. That guy sold me out!' Keath was shouting in his mind but, his fear was showing on his face about his current situation and thinking of coming up with an escape.
Hector on the other hand was in horror, shouting internally 'It's over, It's over, it looks like the end for us… I don't want to die!!!!' and his hands and legs were shivering
Keath gathered a bit of courage and asked "Leader of Fallen Angels, what are you doing here?" in a shaken voice
It's Azazel. The Head of Grigori, the Leader of the Fallen Angels, standing before them.
"Sight seeing… heard something interesting was here…." Azazel said, observing them from head to toe
Keath was smarter and knew that all was lost if Azazel got hold of what he had, yet an idea popped into his mind "Azazel, I know that The Whisp has betrayed me but, hear me out… If you help us, we will share info about something extraordinary" he said and unknowingly his hand was gripping his shoulder bag. Keath's hands held the backpack as if his life depended on it and it actually did as this was his last hope.
'It's the backpack' Azazel realized it while both Hector and Keath were worried if Azazel would take their offer or not but something unexpected happened.
The End
