Welcome to the crypt

After moving into the crypt to learn magic and not be homeless kai was assigned a few chores, one was laundry, one was helping Crow in his experiments with necromancy and dark magic, and a final one was assisting lucian in the kitchen. "So kai where are you from?" lucian asked when they were making some sort of stew for dinner a couple nights after kai had arrived, figuring maybe he could make a friend.

Kai was cutting some potatoes to pieces for the stew, he heard Lucian's question and answered. "Where am I from? I am from Chicago, born and raised there..." He told him as he focused on the potatoes.

"Oh that's neat, i'm from a forest quite a ways from here..." Lucian said as he was chopping carrots

Kai spoke more as he took another potato. "Why would you live in a forest? Were you born a mage?" He asked of Lucian.

"My mom was a hedge witch in the woods, I use  family magic that has been passed down for generations" He explained with a nod "Were you not born a demon?"

Kai spoke more with Lucian. "No, I used to be a human. But I later got employed by a Demon Lord so yeah... That is how I became a demon." Kai said finishing the last potato.

"What did you do as a demon?" Lucian asked  finishing the last carrot

kai was not sure how to answer that. "Well, I first served the Demon Lord, but once he got himself killed I took their place. I had a list of people to kill, but I failed." Kai said, giving a very simplified version.

"I moved into the abandoned castle after my mom was killed by a dark wizard, and I escaped with her black book, then i set up shop in the castle ruins selling potions and triknets, after the khem incident i moved here." Lucian said putting the veggies in the big cooking pot.

Kai nodded and placed the potatoes into the pot, he spoke more. "Oh really? That is something..." he said as he wondered what else they needed in the soup.

Lucian already had the meat in so he just needed to add spices which he did add some garlic and a bit of salt and stir. "How are you liking being a wizard so far?"

Kai just looked as the spices were put in, he answered Lucian. "Well, I guess it isn't bad... But I still feel so weak, since I was used to being a Demon Lord..." He said honestly, but this whole mage thing took patience.

"Well to be honest next to the magic my favorite part is the uniform and the lairs." Finn said cheerfully, he was wearing wizard robes and a pointy hat.

kai was not into that sort of thing, he preferred his usual outfit.

"Cheesy as hell I know, but i can't help it" Lucian said cheerfully

Kai let out a slight chuckle at that and spoke. "Well, it happens... I don't really care, I guess I am more of the blend in type." Kai said as he could just walk in public with his attire.

"Yeah you don't want to wear this in public for sure" Lucian nodded in agreement

Kai agreed, maybe only when it was Halloween but not everyday. "Yeah, but I guess you don't tend to go out much." Kai wondered, the guy seemed a bit hermit like.

"Oh i get out on occasion I just wear normal clothes" Lucian explained to him as he stired "Though to be honest i somewhat enjoy retreating to a lair to work on various projects, I'd like to have my own tower again some day, somewhere not too out of the way"

Kai nodded, this guy had some weird wishes. "What are the odds of that happening?" Kai wondered as getting a tower in this day and age was crazy to him.

"Not terrible..." Lucian said to him rubbing the back of his head "I've lived in a couple ruined ones before"

Kai raised an eyebrow at that and spoke. "Well, ruins are scattered here and there but... Aren't you afraid the hunters will flush you out?" Kai asked since to him it was a possibility.

"That's the problem, i'd need to find somewhere remote and use spirits to hide my oresence and keep people away..." Lucian said

Kai shrugged but he had to address one thing. "I see... But do tell me, what is that strange demonic presence about you...?" Kai asked Lucian, since he had a demon spirit on him.

Lucian frowned as it occured to him he didn't know the demon's name "actually I never got his name but he's cool"
