“It would kinda be interesting and even exciting if I could talk with the statue,” Jeff says to himself, a grin on his face, “I have always been fascinated of demons, I always thought they were cool, and I am convinced that, at least some, they are not evil.”
Jeff opens the App and soon has the statue scanned, he then opens the option tab and selects the “Inanimate to living” option, which opens a window with options to choose from, he activates the eyes, ears, head and mouth, this will cause the statue to be able to move its head, see, hear and speak, “let’s see if this thing really works,” with that, Jeff confirms the settings.
At first nothing seems to happen, disappointed, Jeff turns and starts to walk away, but then he hears a creek and creepy male voice groaning. Jeff slowly turns around and lets out a gasp, his eyes wide in surprise: the statue’s head is moving and its eyes, which a second ago were just black lifeless stone, were now glowing red with a slitted pupil, “it worked,” Jeff breaths, “it actually worked!”
The Demon, turns his head to look at Jeff, “human,” it says, its voice deep, “who are you and what are you talking about? Why doessss my body feel ssssso numb?”
Jeff is so excited that he doesn’t think before explaining everything to the Demon, unaware that the Demon’s file, which at first was empty, has filled with information:
Name: Loki
Age: 1.000 years
Species: Demon
Personality: Dominant, trickster
Abilities: shape shifting, hypnosis, transformation magic, flight
Loki, at least that is what the Demon thinks he is called, believing that he is a real Demon who simply got cursed by a powerful wizard, smirks inwardly, ‘thisssss foolish boy,’ he thinks to himself, ‘he hasssss no idea what he hassss done. He used that App on his phone to partially free me, I have to convince him to free me completely, I could ssssimply hypnotissse him, but ssssince I have been trapped for so long, I don’t want to risk anything. I have to win hissss trusssst, once I am sure I am able to use my powerssss to their fullesssst and control them, I’ll have my way with him.’
“So, yeah,” Jeff finishes his story, “that is the reason.”
“Interessssting,” Loki hisses, “you don’t ssssseem that afraid, aren’t humansssss afraid of demonsssss?”
Jeff nods, “most of them are,” he says, “but I personally am fascinated by Demons. I think they are such interesting beings, creepy… but still pretty cool.”
Loki chuckles at this, “you sure are one sssstrange human,” he says, “ssssso, what now? Are you going to leave me like thissss?”
Jeff tilts his head, “you don’t seem threatening,” he says, “if… if I’d give you the ability to fully move… you… you won’t attack me right?”
“Why would I want to attack you,” Loki asks, “I have no reassssson to”.
Jeff still hesitates, “but… if I do, and you are fully alive,” he says, “how do you want to move around? I mean… if you look like you are now, people will try to kill you. I am starting to regret that I brought you partially to life.”
The Demon chuckles, “I am able to shape shift,” he says, “meaning: I am able to transsssform mysssself into anything! I can be human… an animal, like a dog or cat… or anything else that does not show my true form.”
Jeff’s eyes widen, “h-how do you know,” he asks, “I mean, I didn’t give you that ability!”
Loki smirks inwardly, ‘that fool hassss no idea that I have been cursssssed, that I am not sssssome sssssimple ssssstatuue he brought to life,’ he thinks to himself, fully convinced that he has always been a demon, who got turned into a statue and that Jeff partially broke that spell, both Jeff and he unaware that the App has automatically created this. “I jusssst know,” Loki says, “fr… I mean bring me completely to life, and I’ll show you!”
Jeff tilts his head as he thinks this over, ‘having a demon as a friend could be exciting,’ the naive boy thinks to himself, ‘he seems like a friendly guy and I really don’t want to turn him back the way he originally was.’
The teen looks down at his phone, “maybe the App somehow gave you that ability,” he says, “this thing is so cool! I can’t wait to try out more, but I think I should finish what I have started!”
Loki smirks inwardly, watching as the dumb human starts to type into his device, ‘finally! I will have my true form back,’ he thinks to himself, ‘hehe… he doesssss not know it yet, but that boy will be mine!’
The Demon then feels the numbness all over his body slowly vanishing, he has to fight the urge from wanting to move, wanting to wait until his whole body is numb-free. Once Loki finally is able to feel his whole body, he slowly stands up straight and stretches, “aaaaah… feelsssss ssssso good,” he says, he looks down at the boy, and jumps from the base, landing in front of Jeff.
Jeff’s eyes are wide like saucers, “w-whoa,” he says, “y-you are even bigger than I thought!”
Loki is at least 6’8’’, towering over Jeff, who is just 5’7’’, the Demon chuckles, “you humansssss have alwayssss been dwarfs,” he says.
Jeff feels a little intimidated by Loki’s size, the teen gulps nervously, “m-my name is Jeff, by the way,” he says.
Loki smiles, “you can call me Loki,” he says, “now, before we disssscussss anything further: my sssskin isssss still sssstone, and I promissssed to show you my ability.”
Jeff watches in awe as the Demon’s “skin” takes on a more natural structure, the color stays the same, but instead of rough stone, Jeff can see black scales covering the Demon’s body, soon there is no evidence left that the figure has once been a stone statue. Even the Demon’s pants change structure, now resembling black leather, unaware to Jeff, who assumes that the Demon is gender neutral, meaning: no genitals, the Demon has a slit, like a Reptile, which the Chronivac has given the Demon.
Loki smiles, “ssssso, what do you think, Jeff,” he asks.
“Whoa,” Jeff says, “really cool, that ability will defiantly come in handy."
Loki grins, ‘that worked better than I thought,’ he thinks to himself, ‘lookssss like my powerssss are assss they should be. Which meanssss I can have sssssome fun with Jeff, it hasssss been a while sssssince I mated… I am not really fond of malesssss, but… for now, it hassss to do! Time to ssssee if my hypnosssssisssss sssstill worksssss assss it should!’
“So,” Jeff says, “what now?”
Loki smiles, slowly stepping closer to Jeff, “I want to thank you for bringing me to life,” he says.
Jeff, sensing that the Demon is planning something, starts to back away, “um… y-you don’t need to th-thank me,” he says, not noticing the Demon’s red eyes starting to glow.
