Aruna
Light clashed with darkness, Aruna's shining blade slamming against Zeke's dark will. Just as before, Aruna put everything he currently had into that strike and just like before, Zeke was ready to return that, a kick ready to punish him for his brashness. Except this time....
"AHHHHH, I Haven't been empowered by the Dark in so looooooooooooong- Aruna, you're filling me up sooooo gooooood-"
All Aruna saw was the boot slam into Zeke's back and his form blurring as he shot up into the hole from whence he came. The light on the sword faded, Aruna's arm ceased its glowing. "You look beautiful in that new form. Had I known my magic would have this effect on you, I would have used my magic on you rather than bothering with the servant's clothes."
It was strange, standing next to her like this. It reaffirmed his realization, that it was stupid to treat her like he used to treat any other angel. There was no need to be afraid of her, no need to give her such unnecessary mistrust. In this battle, she had served him as well as any fellow demon would. In many ways, she was one of the greatest allies he ever had in a fight. "I just want you to know, I'm sorry for how I treated you. If you do betray me, it will be because you are another creature, not because you belong to the light."
With the blade at his side, he stared at the sky. "So in your travels, have you learned the meaning of companionship?"
Yes. Humans consider their ability to cooperate something of their design. But the ability to hunt and fight in packs was something of demon origin. It was discusting to see a fake demon like Zeke pervert such an idea. He scoffed at the thought.
