Azriel's normal serious face was creased with a smile at the demon's words. They were obviously a test and Azriel was determined to pass it. He would prove his kinship to this demon and they would be brothers.
Azriel extended his hand, a smile still on his face "Azriel," he continued on to say "As you probably already know, I am an angel and I can tell that you are a demon." Azriel was curious as to how the demon would react to being unmasked. If he reacted with violence, then Azriel would have to respond in kind.

The angel's reaction was indeed curious. Sol extended his hand and shook with the blonde man. Perhaps this angel would be a suitable companion for Sol's hunt for the Gryphon.
"Sol," he told the angel, indicating with his tone that that was his name "Is a pleasure to meet you Azriel, but I must ask you something. Why do keep looking at me like that? One might take offense." At the last part Sol narrowed his eyes to be sure that the angel would get his meaning.
The angel's stare was begining to annoy Sol who had been raised among demons who found such a thing offensive and took it as a challenge to their power.
"Is this all!?"The young demon screamed to the heavens"Is this all I am!? Just some toy for them!?"He kicked the ground frustrated"Was i created to give pleasure without ever receiving any of my own?Never!Not once have i.."he sits down,too frustrated to go on.'Shhh, dont worry we can fix your problem.'something whispered inside."Who-"he stopped and began to laugh maniacally - making of a young Sol

Azriel blinked in surprise. He had been unaware of his staring to a large extent. He did not want to offend this demon who he saw as a potential brother.
"My apologies, I did not mean to stare. Its just, ever since the crusades, I have considered myself more akin to demons than angels." Azriel looked down at his hands. "For the sins these hands have committed are great."
He looked back up at Sol, sure the demon would understand what he meant.

Sol nodded. He understood perfectly. This was obviously one of the angel's brainwashed into believing in a false cause. Once he had realised the truth, it must have broken the angel.
After that little bit of history, Sol knew Azriel could fight. he had decided to recruit the angel for his mission to slay the Gryphon. "I understand completely, Azriel. You know, kin assisst each other in difficult tasks. I have been hunting a beast, and it lives not too far from this great city of Athens. I would ask your assisstance."
Sol studied Azriel's eyes. If the angel refused, he would kill him. The location of the Gryphon was an extremely valuable piece of information, one Sol had worked too hard to obtain for this angel he did not even know to refuse him and sell the information to the highest bidder, or maybe even go after the beast itself.

Azriel was relieved when the demon confirmed that he understood his plight. When Sol asked for his assisstance in killing the Gryphon, Azriel had to stop and think a moment.
Of course he had heard and read tales of the beasts power and the immense wealth it hoarded. This must be why Sol was after it, Azriel deduced. But after all, it was just a big bird-like thing. How hard could this be? If they were about to fail then Azriel would simply use his powers of teleportation to whisk himself somewhere safe. But if they succeeded... the rewards would be immeasurable.
"Of course I will assisst you in this, so long as you cut me in for a share of the profit."

Sol smiled his signature Sol grin. Everything was nearly perfect. Now if he could just convince Cleo and the other demon to help him as well... Success would be guaranteed and the rewards would be great. Sol would taste the flesh of one of the beasts of legend, and he would kill it just for the sake of killing. Afterwards he would take what artifacts and trophies he could find in the beast's lair.
"Excellent," Self interest he could deal with, someone who came along to help for no particular reason most likely couldnt be trusted "Of course you will receive a share of the profits from this venture. After all, we will be partners." Sol's eyes lit up with excitement, everything was going according to plan. "But before we go, I want to ask the other demon and the woman with blue hair if they will help as well. You remember, the two who went outside to talk a few minutes ago."
Without waiting to see if Azriel was following, Sol walked over to the door and went outside to find Cleo and the other demon.
"Is this all!?"The young demon screamed to the heavens"Is this all I am!? Just some toy for them!?"He kicked the ground frustrated"Was i created to give pleasure without ever receiving any of my own?Never!Not once have i.."he sits down,too frustrated to go on.'Shhh, dont worry we can fix your problem.'something whispered inside."Who-"he stopped and began to laugh maniacally - making of a young Sol
As soon as she saw Solemn she smiled, she was happy that she was not alone with the demon named Mark. Karva spent most of her life living in isolation with her mother, so she did not do well with one on one in new places. Well especially when the demon that was talking to her made her feel trapped and uneasy. "Hi Sol, it is nice to see you. What are you up to?"
She said as she went to stand next to him, she had to keep from hugging him and hiding behind him like a scared child. She knew that Mark meant no harm to her it was just that was pushy, loud, and emotional all the thinks that she did not like. To be honest if it was no for the fact that he was so lonely she would have run away from him, but a part of her would not let her. She just stood there by Solemn and found comfort in his presents.

Azriel nodded his understanding, though Sol probably hadnt seen it, for he had turned around as soon as he was finished speaking. He watched Sol stroll out of the bar and a few seconds later he followed.
He exited outside to find himself greeted by the scene of the blue haired woman from earlier standing next to Sol and they were both facing the man from ealier that Sol had told him was another demon. Normally this wouldnt have seemed strange but the other demon looked like he had been crying.
It was one of the most strangest sights he had ever viewed. "What did I miss?"
Karva looked over at the light haired man that lifted the drunks wallet. She tilted her head at the mans comment, "No you didn't miss anything."
She pulled her blue hair back into a pony tail and looked at Solemn "So what brings you here? I know you did not come here for the beer, or just to find me. I am sure I didn't have that kind of an impression on you."
She rubbed the back of her arm under the cloak, it seemed to be a cool night, and she hated the cold. Maybe there was some place else they could talk, some place with heat. She was not going to ask them now when she just made them go out side... maybe in a little while.

When Sol saw Karva he smiled back at her but he couldnt help but notice that she seemed rather uncomfortable, although she seemed slightly more relieved when she saw him. She moved to stand next to him and they both stood facing the other demon who seemed as if just a minute ago he had been crying.
He looked at Karva and winked "Well, actually, I am here hunting something. Something I would appreciate assisstance with, if you are willing." This was Sol's way of asking Karva if she would help him or not "I am hunting the Gryphon and I have learned of its location after a long search for it."
Sol smiled at the other demon and took one step forward, extending his hand. "Hello, I am Solemn Creed. I understand that we share a common ancestry. I would greatly appreciate it if you too were to join me on my hunt." Sol waved his hand in Azriel's direction "My new friend there, Azriel, has already agreed to help out. What about you two?"
"Is this all!?"The young demon screamed to the heavens"Is this all I am!? Just some toy for them!?"He kicked the ground frustrated"Was i created to give pleasure without ever receiving any of my own?Never!Not once have i.."he sits down,too frustrated to go on.'Shhh, dont worry we can fix your problem.'something whispered inside."Who-"he stopped and began to laugh maniacally - making of a young Sol
Karva smiled and looked up at Solemn, "The only way that I am helping is if I get a hug, and you promise that I wont die."
She then leaned up and whispered in Sol's ear "My real name is Karva."
She looked again at the man with the blond hair, "What are you? You are not a human I know that much, but I am not vary good at telling as of yet. Well I guess that does not matter as long as you can fight a Gryphon."
Merka extended his hand. "I am Merka Alazeal, it is nice to meet you" Merka said as he shook the mans hand and then he turned to the angel "And it is nice to meet you too" merka said as he extended his hand. Then he turned back to solemn "Of course I shall help you, I need a bit of excitement in my life" Merka said smiling.
Varos has a very symmetrical look, giving her a strange, unearthly beauty. Her favorite form has grey eyes and red hair. She usually seems quite calm, with the shadow of a smile on her lips and a hint of a frown around her eyes.
Since Karva was much more relaxed now that she was not against a wall, and there were others near her. She pulled her arms into her cloak to hide them from passers by. With her hands now concealed she used her abilities which oddly enough made her pale blue eyes lose there color and turn white. In hidden view she created a softball size of Ice and she used her healing powers to give it a healing affect as well as a soothing one on is burns. She pulled her hand out and presented the chunk of ice to Mark, as she did her eyes regained there light blue color.
"I am sorry about not making this for you earlier, but I was you were loud and emotional. To be honest that scared me more than you being a demon and catching on fire. Well either way I hope that his will help you with your problem."
She spoke in a soft gentle tone as she offered the man the ball of ice, she wondered if her keeping the truth from him earlier would make him upset at her now. She dreaded hearing the man talk loudly or scream again, and the last thing that she wanted was an emotional outburst of some kind. Things would be okay now, if he was emotion or got angry at her she could just leave, she was not pinned against a wall anymore.
Merka took the chunk of ice and in a soft voice said "thank you." He started rubbing it on his burns which had recently went on fire and felt a relaxing feeling."Again, thank you, that really helps" Merka said.
"I am sure that you will be of great use in this quest" Merka said his eyes flickering to Sol. Merka turned and started explaining about the fire to Sol and the angel, Azriel. Then he said only to sol "Any idea why this is happening?" Merka was getting annoyed at why these burns were happening. He looked up to the sky and silently prayed to forgery, his favourite god, asking how this was happening. "Anyway," Sol said "Shall we go, I think it may be now or never" He said smiling.
