Chapter:-20

Win had been wandering the halls for hours already as he looked around the palace. Three months had passed since Adom had loosened the leash. Win still felt it, but he'd figured that even baby steps were better than no headway at all when it came to the Devil . For now, he'd settled on spending his days wandering the maze-like hallways, mentally mapping out the rooms and corridors. Even after so many days, he was still discovering new places within the never-ending palace grounds.

The place was oddly quiet no matter what part of the compound he was in. the only sounds he heard with any consistency were his own footsteps and the skittering and clicking of his 'guard'. Win hadn't actually seen the guard except for once. The ceilings of the palace tended to be high and unnaturally dark. The . . . creature usually stayed within the confines of the shadows above.

It had shown itself once when one of Adom demons had gotten too close to Win.
