Dance with the Devil

Juno furrowed his brow, nodded and started walking towards the door. With a sound of a heavy metal solo, a soundwave blasted the door from its hinges and he promtly left.

"Well, that went better than expected," Aria breathed out in relief. "He isn't this calm usually."

"What sort of magic was that?!" Wendigo asked.

"Acoustics, a cousin of wind magic," Legion explained simply. "Obviously requires some musical skill."

"So cool....can. I learn magic?"

"Well, the Watcher always said that with enough time and practice, anyone can..."

"how long do Wendigos live?" Wendigo said looking at everyone. "would I live long enough to do some magic? What sort of majuic would I do?"

Legion looked around and only saw shrugs. "I dunno, but I guess frost magic would go with you living out in the cold and whatnot."

"yay ice magic!! "

"No one in their right mind would teach a monster," Ris proclaimed. "Do we really need them to be even more dangerous?"

"By bending the rules of nature and laughing at firmly established scientific laws," Aria responded. "Aren't all of us monsters?" Ris was surprised; she didn't expect someone who looked like a failed teenage girl toyline to have any actual wisdom.

"you know she's right " Recin told ris. Wendigo looked hurt by ris's comment and looked down.

"I still think it's a bad idea long-term."

"So what, the sentient ones go in the same bag as the ones that aren't?" Aria argued. "You really need a reality check."

"Last time checked, both groups killed travelers for fun or food and neither of them could be bargained with."

"Ris she's just a kid. She was just unfortunate had been cursedby the Wendigo spirit. I managed to convinceher not to eat mme and I'm sure show only wants to eat junk food now." Ric told. Wendigo had already went to a little corner. She was closeto crying.

"We're mages; us using magic is half the reason magical creatures, as they should be called, are our doing," Aria told her. "We're the ones responsible!"

Legion tried to comfort Wendigo. "Come on, don't let that red meanie get to you. Nothing of what she said was true."

"Aria is very right. We are responsible of such creatures. " Wendigo started crying. "I'm just a monster...."

"And I'm not a freakin' mage!" Ris argued back. "Control your damn monsters; I have all the right to say whether or not I want to have anything to do with them."

Legion hugged her. "No, you're not. Don't say that..." A single mirror image of him appeared near Ris. "You better start apologising!"

"Ris please just calm down. You're hurting Wendigo's feelings. You hate how mages call demons things and treat them horribly and look at what you're doing. How could I ever think this relationship could work with such a close minded hypocrite!!" Recon glared at Ris. "You're so inconsiderate!!! How could you could think this little Wendigo could be the same as a mindless monster!!!"

Wendigo had already curled into a ball. She wasnt responding anymore.

Ris still didn't understand why she was the bag guy. "How can you guys believe such things! You're telling me I'm the one that's wrong?!"

She looked around and left the room when she noticed that Wendigo was crying. A lot of demons had the same belief as her; that monsters shouldn't be treated the same way as things that ren't monsters.

Recin went to Ris. Wendigo stayed in her curled up position. "I'm just a monster... nobody likes monsters....."

Ris was just sitting on the stairs, looking down.

Legion decided to say something that not many would admit openly. "I like you..."

"but I'm a Monster. Didn't you hear her...no one wants to be near me..." Recin sat next to her. "I wish you could understand.."

Legion sat next to her. "I disagree."

"Is it kinda ironic, isn't it? In a sad, unfunny," said calmly noted. "Mages hate us; we hate monsters. To be fair, most people I know are like that. When someone says monster, we imagine a big, dumb beast..."

"but..." Wendigo didn't know what else to say. "well Wendigo isn't dumb..she just doesn't know much Cause I never taught her. "

Legion just smiled.

Ris nodded. "I'm sorry that you had to see the stubborn and mean side of me; I don't change hearts and minds in an instant," she says. "That's one way my age actually has an impact; the other way is my taste in music."

Wendigo got out if her curl and looked at legion. "It's alright...we all have bad sides...but you've got to remember that it affects others."

"I was not lying," Legion told her. "For me, you're not a monster."

Ris looked sad. "I'll try to be more careful in the future."
