technically my servant or whatever, but here she was.  Wanting to change the topic, “So who’s this Darius that I heard you asking Albion about?”
    As soon as they name crossed my mouth, she started to shudder.  “Darius is Beelzebub’s most favored general.  He makes Albion look like an imp.”
    Even though it didn’t take me long to finish the Wrath demon, his tenacity and willingness not to die was impressive.  “I’m guessing there is more to the story?”
    “Yes.  I seduced him at a time I knew Beelzebub would be around.  When he caught us, his rage was unparalleled.  As I ran for my life, I was sure Darius was going to die for his transgression, but I guess that was not the case.”
    Oh boy, the deeper I dug, the more shit I found.  “So this guy is as pissed off at you as one can be, correct?”
    “He certainly will not be happy to see me if that is what you are asking.”
    “Can you give me an idea of what we are going to be up against if and when this monster decides to strike?”
    “Well,” she stopped, as if trying to think of the right words to use, “in Beelzebub’s court, only he is stronger than Darius.  Being a Pride demon you would think his physical strength would not be so great, but the opposite is true.  The war axe he uses in battle he took from the great Wrath demon Ifrit himself.”
    Before we continue, let me break down the different kinds of demons for you.  Feel free to come back to this point any time if you have questions.  Demons are named after the Seven Deadly Sins, each group personifying the sin they embody.
    First up we have Wrath demons.  They tend to be large, angry, and strong.  When you hear Wrath demon, think an enraged charging bull.  Due to their volatile and aggressive nature, most Arch-Demons use them as a sort of military force in Hell.  Albion was a Wrath demon and a rather mild mannered one.  Most do not talk as much as he did.
    Greed demons are next and they are awful creatures.  Not physically impressive, their strength is in manipulating the situation using their target’s greed.  Greed demons make wonderful politicians and hence why no one knew that our Vice President was one.
    Roxanne here is a Lust demon.  The stories about the succubus were inspired by Lust demons.  They entire lot of them is female and they use their overt sexual nature to seduce anyone into performing their will.  Men are most likely to fall victim, but women are not immune to their wiles.
    I’m going to combine Sloth and Gluttony demons into one group, because they are closely related.  Sloth demons generally work their way in by befriending you and then convincing you to sit back and relax.  The more you relax and fall under their spell, the easier it is for them to kill you as they don’t move very fast. 
    Gluttony demons generally want you to overindulge in one thing or another to the point you kill yourself.  Their motto is you can never have enough of a good thing.
    Envy demons have no physical form; instead they try to work themselves into the subconscious of someone close to their target.  If successful, they make their victim so envious of their actual target that it drives them to kill said person.  It takes someone of a strong mind and will to fight off the effects of an Envy demon.
    Last but certainly not least is the Pride demon.  These nasty pieces of work think their shit doesn’t stink.  The problem is they can usually back it up too.  Whatever inherent talent the demon shows, they work mercilessly at it until they are unbeatable.  Pride demons are the rarest of the Seven, but without a doubt can be the strongest.
    You might have heard me also use the term Arch-Demon.  They are the Fallen Angels, rulers of the realms of Hell.  Beelzebub would be an Arch-Demon as would be Baal.  They only one they answer to is Lucifer, the oldest and strongest of all the Fallen.
    But I digress, back to the story here.  “He stole Ifrit’s war axe?
