I turned away from Mammon and walked over to the stone statue and reached into my bag. I pulled out both pages but put the reversing spell on top. I began to repeat the words on the paper. 

A swirl of my magic energy swirled around me and the stone statue. Cracks started to appear in the stone and then-

*SLAM* The doors swung open and hit the walls. I jolt out of panic once more. Cracks appeared on the statue faster. I examined the stone statue, thankfully there was no major damage. I once again repeated the reversing spell. Pieces of stone was now starting to fall off. The new coming people all gasp in shock at what I was doing. Soon enough Queen Julius entered the room.

I repeated the reversing spell on last time and this time huge pieces fell off. Queen Julius had the loudest gasp out of everybody. I heard something move and it sounded like rocks creaking and rubbing against each other. I probably should have thought to not stand so close to the statue. The stone casing started to crumble. My vision went dark.

When my vision returned I had to blink a few times to take in my surroundings. I sat up and beside my with his arms around me was none other than Mammon. I glanced at him and jumped a bit. Cotton wrapped her arms around me, scaring me a little. 

"Oh! Good! You're okay!" Cotton's voice was ringing with joy. Cotton moved away from hugging me and Mammon removed his arms from around me.

"Young lady! How dare you break that statue!!" Queen Julius was yelling at me now for using the spell on it.

"You do realize that if a reversing spell works on something it was not originally that thing, right?" I questioned Queen Julius. Her face turned a bit red from embarrassment. "Now, I would assume the spell worked if you are yelling at me. And that means I was right about the location of the Stone Statue of Esmos." I slowly stood up to regain my balance.

"So you are the one that released me from that prison?" An unfamiliar voice spoke. It must have frightened me a lot because a quick swirl of magic energy went around me to reveal my curly horns, dragon-like wings, and a decently long tail. "Oh my would you look at that. And I thought Lumes was the last Demon Goddess." 

"Huh?" I looked down at myself. "AHH!! I am so sorry! I didn't realize that my form changed." I changed back quickly. I heard a familiar squeak a few seconds later. "LIL' GREED!! Thank goodness you are okay. I'm so sorry, I almost got you hurt." I hugged Lil' Greed as best as one could hug a half black fog demon. I grabbed my guitar from its case and began playing a few strings.

"Well, what it your name young Goddess?" Esmos asked me. I looked at him with a slight smile. I then glanced at the ground.

"My name is Delilah Foster from Devillands. I'm a Demon Goddess, although I don't what of." I told Esmos the answer he was waiting for. "I know Curos is the God of Pride, you're the God of Greed, Netix is the Goddess of Envy, Sydros is the God of Wrath, Idris is the Goddess of Lust, Nadis is the God of Gluttony, Thydia is the Goddess of Sloth, and Lumes is the Goddess of Healing and Protection. I have yet to figure out what I am." Esmos looked at me stunned.

"I didn't think anybody knew all our names." Esmos stated with his initial shock. "Oh and hey Lil' Greed, it's been a while." Lil' Greed did his usual happy squeak. 

"Huh?" My eyes widened. "You know Lil' Greed?" Esmos just nodded with a laugh. He turned toward Mammon. 

"You, young man. You are the Prince of Greed, correct?" Mammon nodded at Esmos's question. "Very interesting. I take it you have the other half of my soul if that's the case." Mammon nodded again. "Oh and Delilah, how exactly do you know our names?" I jumped a little.

"Lil' Greed told me. He also told be about how you eight disappeared." I answered Esmos. 

"I see. And why does Lil' Greed follow you around kiddo?" Esmos questioned me more and more since he saw my demon form.

"Well Lil' Greed has a connection to me. I don't know how but he does."  The more I answered questions the more I question why I started this journey. "Well now that we retrieved Esmos, we can move onto the next planet to search for the next God or Goddess." Cotton nodded and Lil' Greed squeaked like usual.

"I see. You are trying to recover all eight of us." Esmos stated in realization and I just nodded in return. "Well I think this Mammon kid should join you." I looked at Esmos and Mammon did the same. Cotton tilted her head to the side in confusion. 

"I'm sorry I think one helper is good enough." I began. "I already have Cotton and-" I was cut off.

"Silence. List you qualities young man." Esmos told Mammon. Mammon did as he was told and listed his qualities, "I can sneak, bargain, I'm quick with movement, I can fight, I can charm just about anyone with croix and even with words." I gave it a quick thought.

"Okay, fine. He can join us, some of his qualities will come in handy." I stated after my analysis. Esmos smiled warmly at me. 

"Excellent. Just call my name if you need me and I'll appear." Esmos told me before disappearing. 

"Well, Mammon does this place have research or merchant travel ships?" I asked cautiously. "Mine kinda had a system shutdown mid-space and now it's pretty beaten up from the landing." Mammon sighed and nodded and motioned for me to follow and to which I did. Cotton followed behind while Lil' Greed floated beside me to the ships.
