Part 4

Xalgaman chuckled at the first question. Seems demons really are all the same, no matter who they are.

"The demon nicknames, of course." He said with a gruff laugh. "We'll do a little game so you can understand demonic thought processes. I'll name a God or immortal, and you give me the first 2 word nickname that comes to mind. Don't think about it for more than a second."

"I'm not sure what you're getting at, but okay." Xellma said, confused but curious.

"You already know Royal Void's, so we'll skip her." Xalgaman said, taking a seat on the ground. "Agbus."

"Hmmm..." Xellma began.

"I told you, a single second!" Xalgaman shouted back.

"Shining Light."

"Of course. Eigengrau."

"...Dead Fish?" Xellma said, unsure why that popped into her mind.

Xalgaman chuckled. "Sargon?"

"Angry Hammer."

"Hamlin DeFountain."

"Really?" Xellma asked. Seeing a nod from Xalgaman, she continued. "Walking Church."

"Okay last one." Xalgaman said, standing up again. "She's not immortal but she's interesting. Princess Syndra Valmaris."

"Snow Thief." Xellma said immediately, almost as if on reflex.

"Every single nickname you came up with there? We've been calling them that for hundreds if not thousands of mortal realm years. Every single demon thinks the same way, Xellma."

"No, I don't think that's entirely correct." Xellma proposed. "Torture methods are all unique, for example would you have even thought of the orgasm denial and castration torture on the sex maniac from earlier?"

"Hmmm, no." Xalgaman admitted.

"How about the gender reversal on the serial killer who exclusively targeted women, followed by killing him over and over using the same methods he used on his victims?" Xellma asked, smiling. She wasn't aware she could orgasm from torturing someone before that moment.

"Ummm..."

"How about when I ripped the heart out of that man and forced him to eat it while it beat in my hand?"

"I get it." Xalgaman said, cutting her off. "Honestly I've never seen someone turn torture into both a science and an art."
