Julius and Clarissa made their way to military base #2.
"Hi, we’re here to see General Getz," Clarissa said politely.
"Clarissa! Great to see you. How are you and young Julius doing? Let see if he’s available," the demon greeted them cheerfully.
The demon got on the phone and quickly hung up.
"He will see you now, please follow ," the young demon said while standing up.
"Thanks!" Julius exclaid.
After a short walk the two of them were in the General’s office. The demon saluted and the General returned the salute.
"What brings my lovely wife and boy to see ?" The General said cheerfully.
"Julius and I decided to sign up for a trapping expedition. It’s a great way to test out his new demon art. Let him show you," Clarissa lied with a kind smile.
"Propaganda!" Julius shouted. His mother’s eyes went completely white.
"Dance!" Julius shouted. His mother started dancing.
"Kiss dad!" Julius shouted. His mother went and kissed his dad.
"Attack!" Julius thought and his Mother started attacking his Father, who subdued her rather easily without harming her.
"Release!" Julius said disappointedly.
"Don’t be disappointed son, that was amazing!" General Getz exclaid. "I know you’ll do well on your first trapping trip. Are you excited?"
"Yes!" Julius lied.
"Well, I have to get going. They need their General," Robert said arrogantly.
He gave his son a hug and kissed Clarissa. She noticed two demons shuffling in the hallway.
’So, they are following us.’ She thought.
General Getz humd happily as he went off to train his sanction of the demon army. He oversaw 50,000 demons.
’So glad Clarissa is finally coming around and believing in our Lord Azazel. I think I’ll tell him!’ He rrily thought.
Clarissa and Julius made their way ho, had a light supper and went to bed. The next two days felt like an eternity, but they managed to live their normal lives.

The two demons on patrol followed Julius and Clarissa to a human trapper’s bar. They arrived at 04:45.
"Julius there are two demons following us. Just beware. I think your father has us followed for our safety," she whispered.
Julius gave a firm nod as they walked into the establishnt. Hooded demons, demons from the military and regular patrons filled the bar. Clarissa walked up to the only demon behind a counter not wearing a military uniform and whispered, "Saviors."
"Woman and a child for the Prosperia entrapnt. Nas please," the young demon said.
"Cathy and Jas Umbridge," Clarissa stated.
"Demon art?" The demon asked.
"Hypnosis for and my sons is still a work in progress," she lied.
The demon stamped their hands, and another demon showed them to a large white van.
As they walked, Clarissa noticed they were in the third and final white van marked with a red "P."
No one spoke to each other, and everyone looked tired.
’There must be over 100 demons in this van alone! This is a much larger group than we saw on tv. Maybe the other vans are decoys?’ Clarissa thought nervously.
The two demons that followed Clarissa also got on the van just before the doors closed.
The van took off, fast. They’d often stop at check points where a demon would verify the paperwork of the trappers.
"Paperwork looks good. Hopefully you’ll co back with a nice lot," one of the demons said to the driver with a grin.
Clarissa used her true demonic art and imdiately regretted it. She had supersonic hearing.
"Why do you think they registered under fake nas? This all seems suspicious. Cover . I’m teleporting to Beezle," the demon said.
’Oh no...’ Clarissa thought.
The demon appeared in front of Beezle.
"Yes Jas?" Beezle asked curiously.
"The woman and the boy used fake nas and everyone in this lot doesn’t seem like they’ve ever been on a human trapping mission before. What would you like us to do, my Lord?" Jas asked curiously.
"Apoligies!" Jas said as he bowed.
"Hello Adralech, Astaroth, and Verrine. I hope I’m not interrupting a eting between the four princes."
"Hello Jas, we were just wrapping up. Nice job tracking on the Getz family," Astaroth said with a smile.
"Just doing my job sir," Jas bowed.
"Promotion season is approaching Jas and you have been quite impressive," Verrine said politely.
"I agree, well the Beezle? What will beco of Jas?" Adralech asked curiously.
"He’s great but this isn’t the ti or place," Beezle said kindly.
Gluttony. Get your fat ass in here I have good news," Beezle sent off a telepathic ssage.
Gluttony appeared in front of the others and ignored everyone aside from Beezle.
"Yes, my lord. Orders?" Gluttony asked.
"Follow Jas back. At the next check point, they should be near Prosperia’s borders. Kill them all and feast," Beezle said while unable to control his laugh.
"Sounds good to ," Gluttony said with a smile.
Gluttony was 10 feet tall, had a shark-like head with razor sharp teeth. His large gut protruded over his legs, which were the size of tree trunks. His jet-black eyes glimred with happiness as he teleported away.

General Getz made his way to Azazel’s lair with a pep in his step.
"Hello my lord, I’m here to tell you my son and wife finally took a human trapping mission," he said proudly.
"Then why has Prince Beezle inford that the entire lot is trying to escape Obsidian Hallow and Gluttony is going to kill them now?"
Rage filled General Getz’s face. "Send . I’ll kill them myself. That lying bitch."
"No need. I shall give you more of my power as a reward for your dedication," Azazel boasted.
Azazel extended his nail and pierced General Getz’ flesh.
General Getz scread in pain for a minute until Azazel’s nail finally left his neck.
"Well, how do you feel?"
"More powerful. Thank you my lord, am I free to try out teleportation?" General Getz asked excitedly.
"Yes. But stay away from the battle. Gluttony leaves no survivors," Azazel smiled.
As General Getz teleported away, the mysterious golden eyes appeared.
"That was generous. How did you know he was telling the truth?" the goddess asked.
"My Generals despise traitors," Azazel said with a smirk.
