Devlin took a good look at the master that would now own Ramla... He was wary of him, and yet at the same time he was not.... His burgundy eyes would meet his in slight greeting, a curt nod to acknowledge him.... Yet he would lay a hand on his newly acquired and bent down towards Ramla's left shoulder..... He blew on it gently.... Never taking his eyes off him... As if in silent challenge that he would only now dare to lay a hand on his property..... A light white mist seemed to emit from Devlin's well formed lips.... And he backed away then.... And there on her shoulder would be the tell tale sign that she was once the property of the Vindictious... A very faint marking of an succubus.... The Vindictious crest.....

 

 

A marking to show that she was worthy of such prestige... For a very few slaves trained by him and/or his sister would bear it.... A matter perhaps.... of good training and of extreme excellence.... Very rarely would one be granted such an honor.... For though both would go through slaves quickly, it was unique that not all of them would be granted to keep the mark. Devlin would offer a chesire smile.... One perhaps that showed that he was not fearful at all.... Whether Aries was furious or not... He did not care much at the moment... For what was done, was done and she would bear it for all time... Her gifts.... were.... interesting... He trained her to be able to please as much as possible... He for one doubted that even Aries would be able to see all that she can do... But who knew? Perhaps he would... 

 

Devlin took a step back, the hand on Ramla falling casually on his side.... He inclined his head slightly towards the Mistress Synful.... A roguish smile on his lips.... His eyes glowed an iridescent vermillion crimson for a moment.....  He lifted a hand and snapped his fingers twice.... True... He could summon with his mind, but he always had a way with flare.... And out of the shadows... An imp.... who went by the name of Nania.... stepped forward from within the shadows and the corners of the walls.... She glared at Mistress Synful and Aries most disdainfully... But she would do her duty... Nania belongs to Devlin Vindictious..... She had been born in the underdark and was given as a gift to serve him from the spider queen herself....  She had been a slave all her life... Though... not necessarily submissive.... And she had the proud ugly red lashes on her back to prove it.... Nania was small... barely two feet in height... Her skin was the color of a murky swamp, yet it seemed to shine with a sheen like satin... A mop of strawlike hair adorned her head... Her pointy ears poking out of it.... She wore a rag of a shirt the same color as she, her loin cloth barely covered her pert bottom... She scurried hurriedly on her bare feet, the nails clicking softly on the floor.  Her hands also on the ground to support her balance.... She craned her scrawny neck to look upon her master lord and awaited his orders....

 

 

 

Devlin would look down at the imp, almost fondly as he said silkly, "Collect my fee of 50,000 gold Nania.... And I would advise you not to cheat... hmm?"

 

With her bat like wings, she flew over to hover over the desk.... Counting by the handfuls of the amount of gold she would gather for her master.. All the while.... Grunting and snarling to herself... Murmuring under her breath foul atrocities in the demonic language... The sounds gurgling from her throat with a few other snorts.... When she was done... A fushia pink tongue would fork out, and she would grin at her master... Displaying four rows of tiny razor sharp teeth... Her eyes looking at him with subdued trickery....

 

Devlin would nod, and she went to lope over to his side... He bowed his head over to Aries and Mistress Synful once more and he said, "Thank you for you business.... It is time for me to attend to other business elsewhere....Until next time.... Maybe.... " He smiled once more and with Nania by his side.... He melded deep into the shadows.... And disappeared.
