After the explosion I laid on the floor half conscious when the translator from before ran up to me.

She was freaking out as I closed my eyes. Her voice fading away as I opened my eyes again. It was dark and she was nowhere to be found. The silence pressed me. As I stood up I walked around. It was dark. The walls and ceilings were just as dark. An empty void. 

When a light approached me from the ceiling. It was a small yellow light. Reaching out I grab it and it shined bright before entering my hand. The light made my hand glow red. Shaking my hand aggressively, the light wouldn’t come out. As I blinked the whole scene changed. It was the Demon lord’s mansion I was staying at. I was at the entrance. Swinging the doors open it was quieter than ever. Colder than ever.
How could this be more quiet?
The halls were dead as spider webs and dust hid in the corners. 

Reaching my room I went into it. I hurled back covering my mouth.

My body shook as I felt fear. It ran through my whole body.

The room was covered head to toe in blood. The smell was horrible as it filled my nose. 

Opening the rest of the door I stood there. My eyes wide open, a rock sat in my throat. I could barely breathe. My arms and legs felt numb. As my heart pounded out of my chest.

My body sat on the bed and I was meditating. My eyes were closing as I was covered in blood and my hair… It was pitch black where did the white in my hair go? And my horns, they were gone completely. Where two horns should be were just two holes sitting on her head; they were dark as dried blood laid. Looking closer there was a hole in my stomach. It went straight through my body and blinking again the bloody body stood before me. Her eyes were pitch black as scratches covered her whole face. I jumped back as she stared at me with sadness. 

They were  moving? How is she alive? I felt nauseous. Covering my mouth I tried not to throw up. That’s when I thought of something, why am I like this? This is a dream. Right? 

Then, she said, “Please, I’ll say this once and once is all you need…” Her voice was deep and raspy. It was like I screamed my voice away…

Looking at her she continues, “Don’t make the same mistake twice. Choice carefully who you keep by your side-” Wheezing she stares at me. I couldn’t tell what my expression was but it was probably a horrified one. She opens her mouth and the words she says ran through me. “Kill everybody who-” 

Her words start to fade away.
What? Why can’t I hear anything? Her mouth continued to move as I tried to move, talk, react but I couldn't. Then, a second later I’m back. 

I’m laying on the same bed she laid on. I felt dread and horrified before I knew I was throwing up.

Afterwards all I could do was cry. Why is my life turning out like this? I have no one and all I get are nightmares. I press on my eyes as I try to push the tears back. It gets harder to breathe. Letting go of my eyes, tears fell to my hands. I hold myself back from crying any louder and hold my lips shut. Needles pinch my face as I stand up and go to wash my face. Looking at the mirror, as tears ran down my face my eyes got redder.

With no thought I sit on the floor and close my eyes. I took a deep breath in and out. I think of nothing, I just need to clear my head. It’s quiet as I feel myself become lighter, more at peace. Opening my eyes again I stand up looking at the mirror again. I felt like crying but I turned my head away from the mirror and got changed. 

Walking around the palace felt bitter sweet. I felt horrified but also comforted.
This is my home now but why.

Why do the gods torture me like thing?

But, what did she mean? Why do I have to kill everyone? Why couldn’t I hear her. Why can I just get the answers straight? Is this second chance even a blessing? I’m starting to think not. 

Why I’m I getting set up like this? I feel terrible. 

As I continued to think I stopped. Wait, I’m the greatest healer of my lifetime. Why can’t I save everyone? Healers are sparse. Might as well learn and become the greatest healer in demon history! 

Later…

After I heard an explosion I ran outdoors expecting the worst but what I found was confusing. Lady Pime, the woman I talked to a few days ago, was laying on the floor. As dust slowly fell after her. Running up to her she laid half conscious as I yelled for help. I turned back to her and she passed out. As one maid named Mandy arrived, I yelled, “Where is everyone??” As Mandy shrugged I swung my hand, “Well get over here we gotta take her to her room and get a doc.”

As me and Mandy picked up Pime and rushed to her room we ran to the doctor's office as he sat in his office. Kicking on his door I yelled, “EMERGENCY. GET UP OR YOU’LL BE THE EMERGENCY.” My voice roared through the halls as the doctor blasted the door open. Seeing us run away he followed us. Laying Pime on her bed she looked beat up and taking a closer look one of her pockets was blasted to bits. 

Something exploded in her pocket?

As the doctor started to check up on Pime. Mandy looked at me with fear before whispering in my ear, “What will the Lord say?”  Backing away from me to hear a response she looked scared as I tried to gather up an answer.  

“I’m not sure but to make you less scared I’ll talk to him. I doubt he would do anything to you but you can’t be too sure.” Shrugging to her she sighs in relief. 

As me and Mandy moved to sit we waited for what the doctor had to say. It was weird though how did Pime mange to explode and to be that big and loud? We have nothing on the ground that I know would explode like that. Lost in thought, Mandy started talking to me, “Um, if you're confused I think I have an answer.” Fidgeting with her hands she continued. “The only thing that could do that would probably be a mana explosion. Why she did it I don’t know. But nothing in this palace would be able to explode like that and no knight could control their mana like a bomb.”

Mandy looked troubled as she looked at the unconscious Pime. I could read straight through her, why would Pime be doing to explode her mana? 

With silence the doctor stood up and told us what most likely happened. “Sooo, she formed a mana orb and it exploded when she put it in her pocket.” Scratching his head I stared at him with disappointment, “That’s it? No like assaination attempt or anything.” As the doctor stared at me with confusion.
“Did you want her to get murder?” As he smiled at me in fear, quickly realizing what I said I waved my hands quickly denying it. In the corner of my eye I could see Mandy smiling as she was about to burst out laughing. Before we all laughed together for a bit we all moved out of the room, huddling up we started whispering to each other. “Who’s going to the Demon lord?” As the doctor says first quickly Mandy replies, “Mi said she would do it early while you were doing the check up on Pime.” As the doc looked at me I confirmed, “Yup I’ll do it.” Squinting his eyes in suspicion he asks, “Don’t you hate the Demon Lord, why would you want to do it.” Tilting my head I start to think, wait a minute why do I have to do it couldn’t the doc just do it? “You have a fair point, why don’t you do it doc?” Stepping back in disbelief he shoots back, “Ugh, you do take me for? You're doing it.” I stand there in disbelief as Mandy giggles. 

…

“So what do you got?” This voice makes my blood boil. Lifting my head I see the demon lord sit on his throne. 

He doesn’t deserve to sit there anymore. 

Like a painting he sits perfectly still waiting for an answer.

Sighing I respond, “Lady Pime exploded herself with a mana ball then fell unconscious. Doctor Witsie checked up on her and said she will make a full recovery.” Staring at him he looks disappointed. 

My face drops as my eyes continue to look at him. Why is he acting like this? If he get his crap together we wouldn't be on the brink of war with humans.

“You may leave.” With a cold tone he waves his hand.

“Have a good day my lord.” Bowing I take my leave. 

Why? Why is he like this, just be normal again literally Pime doesn't like you either with this persona. Damn. Let's pray Charlotte will say anything to him. She is the only one who can do anything.
