Raphael had a long dreamless sleep. He was glad, no nightmares to disrupt his sleep. Raphael awoke, and slowly arose so he could look at the waiting Zarya and Saphirra. "You were very brave last night my little Princesses. Few people have met Seven Aces and lived to tell about it, I'm glad that you two have grown to be so strong." Raphael said with a smile.

"Are you ok, Raphael? What happened out there? Who was that demon? Why did he take over you?" Zarya asked. She wanted answers, to know what had happened to her friend, the guy she looked up to ever since she had lost her parents. She wanted to know why demons over took him, why he had tried to harm them, the people he called his princesses. It made no sense in her mind, and she wanted answers.

The tent grew dark as Raphael went to answer. "Little Zarya, demons are horrible things, the reincarnation of all the hatred of one person, but usually they appear after that someone has died. Have you ever had so much hatred, fear, and sadness, that you literally died inside?" Raphael said with great sadness in his voice. He went over and sat next to Zarya and Saphirra, wrapping his arms around them. "Seven Aces was born from my sadness for the loss of my wife, for I loved her so very dearly. Since I am not dead he cannot leave my body, he's trapped inside until I naturally die, but he can't murder me for that would also destroy him. To answer your questions, yes, I'm ok this hasn't been the first time, and it probably won't be the last. As to what happened out there, I'm not so sure myself, I know he took over, like he does every night, but after that, it's all a blur. I know there was fighting but I couldn't tell who or what was doing the fighting. That demon, was Seven Aces. A horrible demon bent on causing pain and suffering to all who cross his path, much like an unlucky black cat. His name is Seven Aces because he likes gambling with lives. Unfortunately luck seems to favor him most of all. Why he took over me? So he could have fun. His only reason for existing. Since demons are so full of pain and anguish the do whatever they can do get rid of it. Most demons find greatest enjoyment in pushing all there pain on to others." Raphael said, slowly lowering his head as if ashamed of this horrible burden he is to bear. "Now, my little maidens, I would like you to keep this our little secret, the others wouldn't trust me if they knew about this. You don't have to worry about me, I researched and have found a way to keep Seven Aces at bay. If you have ever been in my tent you will know what I'm talking about. I have several religious symbols and incantations leaving Seven Aces powerless. Though, in times of war, sometimes Seven Aces can help, very rarely do I do this, but I have been known to infiltrate the Tribe of Night, after the sun has set, and allow Seven Aces his pleasures." Raphael said, almost having a smile. "Now, my most valiant warriors, it's bed time, for all of us. We've had a most exciting adventure, and you both need time to rest from it. I am very proud of both of you, and wish you the greatest rest. Farewell, and good morning." Raphael said, giving both Zarya and Saphirra a hug before leaving.

Saphirra was confused? She didn't really understand, but she nodded her head. She didn't know what to think anymore. She stood up and left the tent. Escaping what had happened in the forest that night....

Zarya watched the other two leave, lost in thought over what Raphael had just said. Seven Aces had nearly killed Saphirra and her, and she hoped they would never see him again. The night had been very tiring, and her mind began to wonder. She sighed, stood, and left the tent, heading back to her own, and her bed, sorely in need of rest.
