"Xan, stay here, I need to go to class, if you behave, I may have a surprise for you later." Coal turns to his endowed companion and pats him on his smooth hairless head, fondling his pointed ear.
"But, you know, I can make no such promises...I heard the Dragon on mount Dundar needs a virgin sacrifice, the sweet little boy in room 115 looks ripe...."
"XAN!! No, if you don't behave, i'll put you back in your cage, despite how much you enjoy it, I need you put so you don't destroy the entire school untill I learn what I need to...."
"...To summoon 'him'?" Xan interupted inquisitively, he new that it was Coals dream to be able to fraternize with a greater demon.
"Yes. Now, thats an order, stay in this room!"
Xan bowed low, as Coal turned and walked out, an evil glint in his black eye.
Coal wandered into class, a rudemenatry binding class, although Coal had never thought he'd needed to learn how to bind demons till now. He always had a certain 'control' over his little familiar, but if he was going to be calling the big boys he would have to learn his stuff.
The lecture was boring, although, the teacher was a powerful speaker, wide as a barn door and tall too, maybe even over 7'. He dressed in a long black robe that concealed his body, and a hood that hid his face. His powerful voice commanded attention, even if his lecture did not.
After several hours, the class had finaly ended, several demonstrations had been given on how to hold very minor demons in a circle as they were summoned. Coal picked up his book bag and headed out of class, recieving his homework assignment from the massive instructor. As his teacher handed him the paper, he momentarily grabbed Coals wrist. Coal stared up into a pir of fiery red eyes, the only thing that peirced the shadow of his hood. His strong grip was almost painful, and Coal enjoyed every crushing moment of it, parting his tender lips to give a mutter with his wince. Without a word, the instructor let go and turned back to his own work.
