Marriage First, Mate Second
Hope tells the creature seriously, “I don’t know how you managed to get past the guards, but it’s time for you to leave. Now!”
“It was a student who invited me here, and a student who told me how to evade the guards,” the demon says with an ominous grin, “So if I were you, I would be worried about that as well!”
Hope displays no reaction to this statement, and I can actually feel the creature’s disappointment from my side of the room. She then makes a motion that I’ve never seen before, and a purple cloud forms in her hand. Hope throws the cloud at the creature, and its horns turn the same color purple as the cloud.
