Chapter 11 - Part 15

Long ago the devil was ready to claim purgatory after killing all of the demons dormant to that place. However, out of all the powerful imp type demons there was only one survivor.

Maestro was shocked by his new appearance stating that he didn't even know he transformed. After saying that he sees something wiggling behind him. Maestro jumps in fear then looks back to see what it is. He then realizes that that's his tail, and was even more surprised. He grabs it while screaming out that he has a tail. Sylvester deforms the mirror stating it was time to move on. Maestro calmed down, and agreed.

He then states how he was surprised that Sylvester was tagging along. Sylvester replied that he decided that Maestro's payment would be information. Maestro looked at him with confusion. He explained that he wanted know Maestro's story. He had to find out how a demon turned human. Maestro shrugged his shoulders then asked where do they go now. Sylvester responded that his job of bringing him to hell has been completed. All he is doing now is following. Maestro rolled his eyes then turned around, and started walking away.

As they head off Maestro looked back, and saw Sylvester's elevator sink into the ground. He told him to ignore that stating that it's supposed to do that. He then asked where they were going, and if he even knows. Maestro responded that he didn't, but it feels like he's going in the right direction. Sylvester didn't fully understand, and was about to question him. However, the two stopped once they saw a village. Maestro stared in wonder looking at it. Sylvester stated that it's been a while since he has been here. Maestro stated that he thinks he used to live here. The two look at each other then starts to head towards the village.

As they walk through, Maestro was staring at the variety of demons there. The demons that ended up looking back were confused, and agitated by his curious face. Sylvester told him to stop looking at everyone before he ends up starting a fight. Maestro apologized then stated that he's not used to seeing this many of his kind, his true kind. Sylvester chuckled stating that this was only the beginning. He then tells Maestro to follow him to this booth.

The two approached a food booth were the demon working there was currently stirring in his pot. Sylvester takes a whiff then asks what's on the menu. The demon cook responded that he's making demon stew. Being curious, Maestro asks what makes it a demon stew. The cook looked down at him with a sinister smile. He then answers stating that it's because it's made out of demons. Hearing that Maestro starts to look worried as Sylvester chuckles. The cook then pours some into a cup. The cup was now filled with fiery blood, and a couple of sliced fingers. He tells them to try it stating that he had just killed the demon earlier that day. Maestro almost puked, but he was able to contain it. Sylvester grabs the cup while thanking the cook for the sample, and states that they'll spread the word around. The two walks away as the demon cook gets back to stirring his pot.

Sylvester then suggested that they should take a break. Maestro agreed then the two looks for a place to sit. After finding a spot, the two sat down, and Sylvester starts drinking some of the stew. Maestro looks at him disturbingly as he do so. After burping, he states that it wasn't bad, and tries to give the cup to Maestro. He almost puked again smelling the stew, but still contained it. He declined stating that he only eats human food. Sylvester laughed while pulling out one of the finger bits. He tells Maestro that he needs to get used to demon food. Sylvester then asked in a sarcastic tone if he was planning on going back to earth. Maestro denied his statement then told him that he'll try something else. Sylvester shrugged his shoulders telling him to do as he please, but he better not starve to death before repaying him.

Maestro then looks at Sylvester as he eats the finger bit realizing that it was a fingertip. His head starts to hurt again as he falls to his knees. The voice in his head tells him that he is hungry, and that he wants more. That he needs more. Maestro starts grunting in pain while images flash through his head. Sylvester watches in curiosity as he drinks his stew. The pain stops, and Maestro slowly stands up. He tells Sylvester that they need to go. That they need to find more devil bones.
