Getting out of the mountains was always refreshing.
Did he hate being worshipped by a cult? Did he hate having people at his beck and call twenty four hours a day? Did he hate the people that would willingly die for him, or let him torture and mutilate them at a whim? Did he hate his big castle carved into a mountain side, situated in the middle of the mountains? No, no, no, and yes. He only hated his mountain castle because of...well, it was so isolated. He absolutely loved having people over, and his servants were not that much fun anymore. Oh sure, he still had great fun with them, having his every whim satisfied...but...it just wasn't the same.
He needed something new now, he needed some new blood to reinvigorate him, as he was getting tired of the trivial things around him. Something had to be done, he needed to find something to occupy his time. That meant getting away from his castle, getting into town and just...having some fun. First however...first that meant he would need to change his appearance just a little bit. People were often put off by his...well, his demonic appearance. He wasn't afraid to say that, but people seemed against it. So, to make sure no one wanted to run him out of town, he decided to just...give in and change his appearance a little.
Well, a lot.
Stopped at the side of the road outside of Ketra, his large carriage which was pulled by four strong horses stopped as well thankfully. It was an ornate carriage, made of dark woods, painted black and crimson. It was rather impressive to say the least, it definitely showed that he was of stature. Though, this wasn't the most ostentatious one he had, he didn't take one that was too bad. The man in charge...was a demon. He had the look of it, dark skin, horns...well...one shattered horn and one completely broken horn, a tail, and yellow eyes with red pupils. Though, he wasn't a full demon, he had a lot of their blood in him. A lot more of theirs than humans. Ugh. He still couldn't believe that he was born from a human woman.
How disgusting.
Now he had to become like one. It wasn't too bad, just a bunch of runes on the trees, and on the ground. Demonic runes, and they were good ones, his people knew how to use them and make them properly...better than most demons for that matter. They had studied them carefully to ensure that they could serve him when he came into the world. And of course, they taught their craft to their children and apprentices well. He stood there, waiting in the middle of the runes, as they worked their magic. They began to change his face, the horns becoming like a ram would have, making his pupils black, his irises going from yellow to a sharp blue, and his skin went from that dark burnt colour to a healthy bronze tan. His tail seemed to coil up into a short of goat's tail even. This of course, was to look like a Satyr than a demon. He could have gone with hooves, but he could have said he was just a half satyr. That worked for him. He carefully looked over his altered body before nodding.
"You have done well." His voice was so rich and thick, it was like honey to the ears. He briefly touched a servant's shoulder in recognition, the woman in question seemed to both cringe, and push into the contact. She seemed afraid but enchanted by his touch at the same time. He gave a mirthful chuckle before getting back into his carriage. It was time for them to go, for him especially to go and enjoy Ketra once more. It had been a while since he'd visited, he just had to find himself a good place to enjoy. He hoped to find a nice tavern...perhaps not too seedy, but at the same time...with just enough...grit to it.
It took a little bit of time, but finally they found a tavern, and the demon who was now a half-satyr as coolly as possible wandered into the tavern. He wore a fine outfit, a rather impressive black doublet with dark crimson piping around it, matching pants of course, sleek leather shoes, thin form fitting white gloves though. People may wonder how he was a noble of sort, a half-satyr, but the cover story was easy enough. He was from Serendipity, nobles were known to have fey blood after all, and well...satyr were sort of like fey. Most of the Adelans probably wouldn't know too much about that...still, most wouldn't ask.
He took a seat at a table, his most favoured servant got beverages from the bar tender and brought the steins to him. The satyr-man of course didn't want to drink wine, he said specifically that he wanted to drink ale, to have an actual drink. This wasn't a time to have wine and pretend he was a noble. He was drinking! He was here scoping out new blood. Maybe he'd find himself a nice person...someone that would be quite good to perhaps accompany him back to the castle. He took the stein from the robed older gentleman who sat down beside him. "Ah, thank you Kalzen...this is well deserved..." He raised the stein of ale to the slightly bald older gentleman who just smiled, slightly nervous and nodded. "Yes sir...well deserved, and I thank you for bringing me." The two of them touched their glasses together before the satyr man took a drink, a long drink. The other man only stared at the ale, as if unsure. "Drink." With that command, Kalzen immediately lifted it to his lips and drank. He drank. He didn't stop until the entire stein was empty. "Sometimes, I hate how...precise you are sometimes Kalzen. You can leave now...keep the carriage near though." Putting the stein down, Kalzen stood up and left quickly.
The man could only laugh to himself and take a sip of the stein he had. This would hopefully be a fun night.
