Beautiful, prideful, elegant, and eloquent - my, my, my but wasn't this one a real treat? Zenith let his eyes rake over Cynthia with amusement and approval at her words, and actions. There was a certain level of delight in his expression as he watched the arching lightning that so wonderfully bent to the will of the female beside him.
In particular he enjoyed hearing her call him beautiful. He was rather vain, to be sure. Although watching his master, or former master, writhe on the ground in the throes of death. Of course that left him with a tiny little problem.
Zenith rose from where he had knelt, giving his dead master a final glance before turning dark eyes back onto the woman. Standing he had to look down at her, but few were as impressively huge as he was. "I should thank you for releasing me, but now I find myself in a delicate position."
He waved a clawed hand and shadows formed in front of them before drawing back to frame what looked to be a piece of parchment with a great deal of demonic writing upon it. "You see, I was only here on contract. Without a master to hold my contract I must leave this world. A very disappointing outcome to my day, to be sent back to my prison right after discovering a magnificent jewel such as yourself, but unless there is another willing to enter into a binding agreement..."
Well Zenith hardly thought more needed to be said. She was an intelligent creature, she would figure it out.
