"Well... If you two are up for it, would you like to go to the Adventurer's Guild to take a quest?
Battle experience,
Stretching our legs,
Helping out the people...
It seems right up our alley." Yuna said.
"I'm in!" You accept.
"Fine... With luck, all we'll have to do is kill a couple of Low-Rank Devils for some easy pay..." Touka reluctantly accepts.
After finishing up,the three of you made your way to the town's Adventurer Guild to look for some work when a woman was making a commotion with her pleading.
"PLEASE!
My brother & his family were on that Merchant's Convoy!
Don't you have any brave adventurers that can save them?!" The woman asks.
"Ma'am, I'm sorry, but based on our reporting, they'd be attached by devils to the northern mountain's caverns.
There's been reports of them taking people away instead of killing them, so it's likely they're still alive, but as for what will happen to them, we aren't sure...
Plus, our estimates is that they have several dozen devils with them, including at least two Mid-Rank Devils.
No adventurers here are equipped or skilled enough to fight them." The receptionist explains.
"Excuse us ma'am, but we may be of help..." Yuna said.
"Who are you?!" The woman asks.
"Wait... I've heard about you...
You're with the Legendary Hero!" The receptionist says.
"The Legendary Hero?
Please! My family needs your help!" The woman begs.
"It's alright ma'am...
[To receptionist]
Do you have a map of their approximate area?" You ask.
"Yes...[After some rummaging, A map was pulled out]
🏞↕ There are cave systems there that cuts straight through the mountain.
Roaming travelers turned it into a safe haven from the elements & animals, but it seems as if the devils are using it as some sort of outpost...
An outpost for what exactly, we don't know." The receptionist admits.
"🔍 Looks like they have several entrances...
This could work to our advantage, but we need to know what their numbers are, and their layout..." Touka thinks aloud.
"We'll take on this request.
We'll do everything we can to save as much people as we can." Yuna said.
"Oh, thank you!
If you could at least bring his remains or that of his family's, I'll reward you with our uncle's old Magic Staff.
He used to be an adventurer like yourselves, but took an arrow to the knee & had to retire." The woman says.
"With the favor of the high powers, we'll bring them back safely ma'am." You said as words of comfort.
Exiting the guild & town, you all stopped near a secluded spot to plan out your plan of action.
"Alright... Here's what I'm thinking...
Mourt, we're putting your Devil Form to work today...
You'll enter through the western entrance by the river, infiltrate the outpost, get as much info as you can, then meet us up on the other side of it...
We'll work out the rest from there." Touka said.
"What do I say if they ask who I am?" You ask.
"Say that you're the sole survivor from an Invading Party from the north...
Say some knights & mages wiped out the rest of your party, and say that you need to head back to command for reinforcements." Touka said.
"That could work...but you think he could convince those other devils he's one of them?" Yuna asks.
"I can get the mannerisms down, and I could use my magic to further alter my appearance to look more demonic...
But, I can't exactly change the color markings on my face..." You disclose.
"Nothing some Rainbow Berries can't fix...
Mourt!
You got any more of those Ant Drones so we could fly over there as quickly as possible?" Touka asks.
"I do..." You said, reanimating three drones & grew them to suitable size to mount & fly over to commence the quest.
"Ewe!
Gross...
Do we need to fly on them?" Yuna asks.
"Do you want to walk all the way over there?
Need I remind you that the carriage is in the shop?" Touka said rhetorically.
"...Fine!" Yuna reluctantly gets onto one of the drones.
After flying out to the mountain, Touka spotted the perfect position to rendezvous.
"Hang on... If you two flew around on the drones all tiny, you could get even more info than I could alone." You said.
"Well... That's true..." Touka admits.
"And we could figure out what they're planning." Yuna said.
"First things first, you need to change forms." Touka said.
"Alright...
😈[After changing forms, you use your magic to further sell your devilish appearance]
All I need is paint." You said, impersonating a devil's voice.
"Alright... We'll do it simple & make it look like you're a common Low-Rank Devil..." Touka begins to paint your face.
"Oh!
If that's the case..." You transmorph your face to look more like a cartoony Low-Rank Devil.
After the painting was done, you saw your reflection in the water & you were surprised to see just how much like a devil you looked like.
"Okay... You two go on ahead.
I've got to put my clothes away." You said, undressing to your birthday suit.
"Whoa!"
"Woah woah woah!
What are you doing?" Touka asks.
"Did you ever see a clothed devil besides my dad?"
"No...
Good point." Yuna realizes.
As the two of them shrunk down on their drones, you put your clothes away into a pore on your waist for safekeeping.
With a simple leap, you were on the other side of the river, seeing the other two fly ahead of you.
...
👣👣👣👣👣👣👣👣-
🗡🛡
"Halt!
Who goes there?" A Low-Rank Devil asks as he & his partner stopped you at the entrance.
"Oh, thank the wicked ones!
My name is Mortyee. I was part of an Invasion Party from the north when we were blindsided by humans wielding swords & spells...
I washed up on the riverbed and just woke up.
Command needs to know what happened, but I desperately need some kind of help." You told your story.
"Oh you poor devil!
Come on inside. Ogan here can get you something to eat & supplies for your journey." The devil said.
You follow Ogan further into the caverns.
"Milgin & I were lucky to get out of the Farom Capital when our forces were being obliterated...
I never would've thought that humans would ever dare to fight so many of us. Hopefully command sends in that High-Rank Devil we're in desperate need of...
You must be starving. Come follow me to our mess hall." Ogan said, leading you to a place where several devils sat, eating a stew of some sort.
"Come! Sit here!
I'll get you a bowl of rations." Ogan runs off to the soup line.
While he left, you were joined by other devils, whom conversed with you.
Thanks to Touka's given backstory & your father's advice, you managed to speak with them as if you were one of them.
"Here we go friend!
A bowl for you, and a bowl for me." Ogan said, sitting down from across you.
"Huh...
What's this?" You ask, stirring the mystery stew.
"Raw cattle & swine chunks mostly...
Most of the others aren't too fond of Overworld livestock meat, but it's kinda grown on me." Ogan said, eating a spoonful of it.
"And the broth?" You ask, seeing that it's blood red & steaming warm.
"Oh!
It's a blood broth of cow, pig, chicken, human, sheep & goat blood." He answers.
"There's actually human blood in this?" You ask, smelling a spoonful of it.
"Yeah, but it's pretty diluted...
What a shame...
The scabs help, but the texture of them is awful." Another devil chimes in.
"You gonna eat that?" Another one asks.
FLASHBACK
"Those humans...
They were trying to kill us...
Even though there's no way they could've known we weren't human..." You said, seeing all the bleeding corpses of the slain bandits.
"Yes... Something tells me they wouldn't have cared if we were pure blood Overworld Human royals...
Mourt...
As a Cambion, you can walk the world's of humans & devils...
But to truly walk the world of devils, you must be willing to partake as one...
You must be willing to eat human flesh." Galroth explains, ripping out the arm of a corpse.
"Do I have to?
You don't eat human flesh like you used to.
Maybe the others could learn that humans are-"
"Mourt...
The others don't care...
I'm afraid to can't change their minds, at least all of them..." Galroth slices the flesh from the limb.
"You don't have to...
But you will be questioned if you pose as a devil." Your dad admits.
Reluctantly, you swallowed the slice of flesh down your throat, committing cannibalism by virtue of being half-human.
The flesh was unappetizing, but not repulsive.
END OF FLASHBACK
"Yes.
Yes I will." You said, eating a spoonful of the stew.
Mourt💭 I'm totally puking this all out later...
You wolf down the bowl, getting it done with.
"Someone was hungry."
"Do you want seconds?" Ogan asks.
"Oh no, I couldn't...
But thank you for the meal...
I've been meaning to ask you...
What exactly is this place?" You ask.
"Oh!
You never heard of these places?
This is a Human Farm.
We send out parties to take helpless humans here to farm them of their blood & flesh...
Blood mostly...
We usually fatten up some of the greedy & gluttonous ones before we butcher them all up & ship them out for our army.
I'd take you to the cages so you could get a good look, but that's not our sector." Ogan said.
"I understand...
Any chance I could get some supplies for my journey to command?" You ask.
"Of course!
Hang on a second..." Ogan said.
After receiving supplies, you made your way out the caverns, then returned to the rendezvous.
Soon after, the others came by, allowing you both to fill each other on what you know.
"Hang on a sec..." You said, walking away from the others.
[You puke your guts out, purging the disgusting stew from your stomach]
After briefing each other on your findings, you came together to come up with a plan.
