Neptune stood up and looked right into Tessie's eyes, not even flinching from the words.
"Child, don't think you're the only demon here or that the dead can't be further destroyed... Masa is one who should be dead, as should Juggernaut, Prominence, Juvef, and myself; and in many ways we have long since passed...However in the technical sense, Masa isn't because of that damnable sword, it sustains his youth against his will as well as ours. He may look to be around your age, but you'd be surprised to know that the five of us are well into our fifties, in fact, I am well into my ninties. As for why he has chosen to travel with you, the stench of death is thick with your group, so as long as it promises bloodshed and hopefully his realease, he will continue to linger. Either way, you have taken my good will and thrown it back in my face; but I will say it again, if he thinks for even a moment you carry any favor with the gods he will not stop hunting you and anything that meant anything to you. I can't say if he would be successful or not, it was simply a warning... In fact if you have any mastery over your powers, you'd stand a more than fair chance at killing him as he has never fought a Djinn before."
Neptune walked out of the stream and back towards the direction of the vehicle. Though he stopped once more and turned around briefly to say his final words of the night.
"It was wise of you to not trust us, chances are Masa will attempt something soon, depending on what happens, to earn everyone's trust. Remember that anything he does will be a blatant lie... for he has long lost the ability to care about anything except pain... his pain, and the pain he can inflict upon others."
With that the Slowking vanished into the forest to leave the girl to her thoughts.
