“I wish Karyn and I would be demons.”
Jon read.
“Oh shit!” Jon said. But what even was a demon, really? Technically wasn’t it just a fallen angel? And a biblically accurate angel was supposed to be a terrifying thing. Like that one that Jon had seen an image of that looked like a bunch of Dyson rings floating in midair and with something looking like gravitational lensing in the space around the rings. He looked down at himself and he didn’t seem to be different, not that, no devil tail, his skin was still light tan/pink and not red. He went into the bathroom and looked in the mirror. No horns. Well that was good. But what exactly was the defining trait of a demon then?
“Jon! Jon, come here, I have great news for you!” he heard his mom call to him.
He walked across the house to his guess about where the voice came from. His mom had neither horns, tail nor red skin either. That was good. It seemed likely if reality had been changed so that he was a demon, that perhaps his whole family was demons too.
“Jon, your uncle Belphasor and his wife Vilsamut have decided to take you on as an apprentice. I’d like you to go along with that, as it is a great opportunity for you. You have to be thinking of your future after all.”
“Belphazar and Vilmaslut?” Jon asked. “I had an uncle?”
“Young demon I expect you to show them respect. They run a cursed magical item shop, which is one of the most highly respected occupations among us demons as you well know. Your uncle Belphasor is doing you a great favor by offering to take you in as an apprentice.”
“Ok. I wasn’t trying to make fun of his name, not on purpose at least.”
“Well good. They will be here in half an hour to pick you up. Also your friend Karyn’s parents called me, they have good news as well, as she got into the succubus academy for succubus training. And although the cursed magical item shop’s projection to Earth is always moving around, so that the victims return to the shop after being cursed only to find it replaced by either an empty lot or a tmobile store, its fixed location in the demon realm is right next to the succubus academy, so you two can continue to see each other every day. Isn’t that great?”
“Yeah, it definitely could have gone worse,” Jon admitted. But it did sound like best case scenario it was still all going to be a massive headache.
author note: autocorrect keeps changing demons into democrats lol. What am I doing using a stupid iphone to type this thing up in the first place.
