"So you saw the Red Demon?" asks the bartender, cleaning up the counter with a moist rag. He sweeps back and forth, but stops as soon as you tell him about the "Red Demon". He leans with his shoulders on the counter, listening attentively.
You tell him about it. About the red, misty demon with black, souless pit for eyes. It was late night and you had been taking a walk when you heard a long, sorrowful howl. A red demon was in the middle of the Ireland street, howling for what sadness inhabited it's black heart.
Now, a red demon in it's sorts is a frightening sight, so you obeyed your instincts and ran to the closest cover, and lo and behold, it was a bar, and so the tender let you in. He didn't seem too surprised as you quickly explained what had happened.
"That's normal. If you wern't foreign, you'd know 'bout it." he tells you as he sweeps the counter. "Everyone 'round here knows 'bout him."
You ask to know more about this creature you had so shortly before encountered.
"Well, I think these creatures have a name, but I don't know him. The elders, though, call them EBAs. Dunno what it stands for."
"One of then say they come from the fields of Idengartz."
He leans in close enough so you smell his stale breath.
"I think she's mad!" he snickers, leans back and continues to wash the counter.
"The legend 'bout the red demon, you ask?" The bartender sits on a stool. He sighs and begins.
"Well, you see, no one really knows where he comes from. Maybe he came long back. That part is unclear and has been changed generation by generation, till no one knew what was right or wrong.
The demon wasn't a demon then. He was a light grey pup."
"He soon got accepted by the village. He became their pride and joy. They were famous because of that odd creature. Mind you, that happened decades ago."
"There was one villager the pup got attached to. He was a rouge, a pick pocket and theif. But, if there was one thing good about him is that he was kind. A rouge soon gets worse."
"That rouge saw two gold pellets. Now, gold being from the western parts of the world, were quite rare here from the traveling it took, and also the rarity of it. And so the theif took them while the gentleman was sleeping, and slit his throat for good mesure."
"The sinner, being caught pretty quickly, was hung. All the pup cold do was growl, yap and stare, as his friend got killed."
"Night fell, and the dead man got buried. The pup howled in the street, right here, calling for his dead friend. But the dead cannot come back. The pup soon learned of this, and whimpering, blindly ran to the quietest place he could find; a cemetery."
"The pup wandered through the place, until settling where there was a patch of freshly dug dirt. He lay there, slowly starving himself."
"They say the devil came, and the pup gave him his soul; his mind, his feelings, his very life, but this remains unclear."
"And so the pup became a demon"
You stand up, surprised at this story. The pup was not dead. Simply... Dead in another way. Perhaps there was a way to bring him back....
You step outside. You are not quite scared, more curious. You head towards the cemetery, and open the rusted gates. It squeals as you push on them.
You head towards the middle, were the red dog lies down. He is lying on a grave, and ignore you.
On the grave is written 'Pyros'.
