Sanctuary ‘Thoughts’ “Speech” “Singing” Recap “I wish you boys luck,” Naamah says as she slams the door closed. The limousine then sprouts a pair of white leather bat wings before proceeding to take off into the sky. A shifting under him reminds Tom that he is still on top of his friend. Clambering off of him to his feet Tom takes in the familiar surroundings. It doesn’t take Tom’s emerald eyes long to land on the mansion standing before them. ‘I’m finally home.’ ----------------------------------- Tom wastes no time in gawking as he marches towards the house, every few steps he has to stop himself from breaking off in a sprint. Melchom follows behind him at a slightly slower pace. His head already bowed and his pyrite eyes sharp with concentration, mentally preparing himself for facing a temperamental, territorial demon lord. What seems like an eternity later for Tom, but all too short for Melchom, they reach the front door. Barely able to contain his excitement Tom pounds his

Coming Home ‘Thoughts’ “Speech” Recap This process last another three days before Clauneck starts to gain some awareness back. On the fifth day he manages to take a shower and change his clothes. On the sixth day he can successfully make it from the kitchen to a guest bedroom without collapsing, his room is still trashed. This would have continued if it wasn’t for the seventh day after waking up that he receives a phone call from his sister Naamah. ---------------------------- Consciousness returns to Clauneck instantly by strings of agony shooting through his veins originating from his stomach. Clenching his teeth, a slight whimper escapes as he rides out the pain. When it finally subsides Clauneck painstakingly peels his eyes open to see the dark guest room he had collapsed into after his last food run.

A Demon's Punishment ‘Thoughts’ “Speech” Recap Mistress Naamah stares down at both Melchom and Tom with a blank expression. Each second that ticks by feels like an eternity. Suddenly Mistress Naamah’s face softens. “Well seeing as it was because of my anniversary party that separated you and Clauneck. Then it is only fair that I help you reunite with him.” Human and demon both feel the tension and stress seep out of them at her words. Emerald and amber eyes lock together as a silent message pass between them. ‘We did it!’ --------------------------------- ~1 human year ago, a month in the Netherworld~ Clauneck lays pathetically on the ground where he was thrown, staring blankly at the door where King Lucifer exited with Tom dragging limply behind him.

Once standing he makes his own way to the exit, when he is far enough from the house he

The Rings ‘Thoughts’ “Speech” Recap Locking eyes with Malchom’s amber orbs he answers. “If you can get me back to Master Clauneck so I can sell my soul to him then I will make sure to convince him to put you in the fourth ring or higher if I can.” He sticks out his hand to the demon before him. Malchom grasps his hand in his own. “It is a deal then; I will carry your mortal soul through the Netherworld to Sir Clauneck.” The red scorch marks on the floor come to life, slithering across the floor until both Tom and Malchom stand in the center of the circle. This time the flames take on a dark jade color. The fire once again roars up to the ceiling before falling again, Tom and Malchom nowhere in sight. -------------------------------------- Tom peeks his eyes open, having closed them when the green flames jumped to life around them. He looks around excitedly, happy to be back in the Netherworld. What he sees does little to impress him. The once beautiful dark orange sky is taken over

In a matter of moments, the fire has completely devoured Milo’s body, not even a spec of ash remains of Tom’s best friend.

The path the flames are following curves in on itself so when the two paths connect it will form a large ring of fire. When the ultramarine flames finally meet again to complete the circle the flames

There's No Place Like Home ‘Thoughts’ “Speech" Recap Hesitantly Tom reaches up and takes the Demon King’s hand. The second he does all the shadows in the room rush over and engulfs both of them. Tom only has enough time to blink before the shadows are receding away from them to reveal Tom’s living room. Letting go of the arch angel’s hand Tom looks around, everything is exactly how he left it five months ago. He turns to thank King Lucifer but when he looks back the Demon King is already gone. Tom is left there alone in his fancy dress clothes and emerald collar, the diamond leash dangling on the floor. ----------------------------------- 1 year later Tom opens the door to his house and steps inside, letting the door swing closed behind him. Sighing heavily, he toes off his shoes and hangs up his jacket. He then makes his way out of his mudroom. The second he enters the rest of the house he hears it. “Meoow” A soft smile plants itself on his lips at the sight of his tubby cat Milo

The Castle ‘Thoughts’ “Speech" Recap Turning around King Lucifer stalks his way over to where Tom is. Realizing that Clauneck’s ‘mess’ is him, Tom scrambles to get his feet under him to make a break for it. Unfortunately, he forgets about the diamond leash that is still attached to his collar. The leash wraps around his limbs and prevents him from escaping. Whimpers of fear emit from him as he frantically flails his arms and legs, but the more he struggles the more tangled he becomes. With each failed attempt to detangle himself Tom’s terror grows. That is until he feels a hand grab the back of his shirt and he is dragged across the floor to the door.  Having learned enough over the past five months living with Clauneck that escape is impossible once a demon has a hold of you, so he goes limp. Salty tears cascading down his cheeks as sobs rack his body. Lifting his head Tom’s last sight is of his Master’s black eyes, eyes that hold such sorrow and regret, eyes that seem to scream ‘I

King Lucifer ‘Thoughts’ “Speech” Recap Clauneck hops up on stage, making his way over to Tom, he is at first concerned when he sees the tears but upon noticing the soft smile that is also present Clauneck relaxes. Once next to his pet the Demon Lord clips on the diamond leash then he faces the still applauding crowd. Scanning room full of demons he sees his sister in tears leaning on her husband clapping with everyone, Zepar sends him a triumphant grin as if to say the plan worked. Moving on Clauneck spots some more of his siblings applauding for his pet, but that is when he sees him. In the back of the room, there is one demon who is not clapping. Locking eyes with this demon Clauneck feels stone-cold terror grip his heart and squeeze it in a vice. Standing at the opposite end of the room is King Lucifer, and he does not look pleased. ——————————————————————————————————————— Clauneck’s body locks into place, his grip on his pet’s leash tightening until his claws break the skin, cause

Tom's Story ‘Thoughts’ “Speech” Recap Resuming his walk to the house, now a little quicker than before, Clauneck tries to reassure Tom. “It is getting close to dinner time, why don’t I make us something to eat? Then after dinner, we can finish our discussion, and this time it is my turn.” “Your turn?” Tom asks as he turns his head slightly so he can look at Clauneck with a questioning stare. Still looking straight ahead Clauneck responds. “Yes, my turn, don’t you remember? You get to ask your question first, but then I get to ask questions about you.” They reach the front door and Clauneck again shifts Tom over to one side so he can open the door. Once they are inside and Clauneck has closed the door behind them, he moves toward the kitchen, still carrying Tom. “But that part of our discussion can wait till after we have eaten.” ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tom is sitting on the floor of the living room

Answers ‘Thoughts’ “Speech” “Singing” Recap Tom blinks a few more times to pull himself out of the despair he had fallen into. He looks up at his master. Once Clauneck comes back into focus Tom lets a small smile grace his lips to show the demon that he is back. When Clauneck sees his pet offers a tiny smile to show he is listening again, he offers one of his own closed mouth smile, which, with the abstain of sharp teeth, does its job of reassuring Tom. The demon then stands up and reclaims its seat on the couch with a content sigh. After a moment of silence, Clauneck looks down at Tom who is staring right back. “Now that all the rules are out of the way, we can move on to the fun part of this discussion, the questions. I know you must have a lot of questions for me, and I have a few questions for you, so now is the time to ask as many as you want. I can’t guarantee that I will answer all of them, but I will answer the ones I can. So, I will let you start what do you want to know
