Headaches & Hazbins: Book 1: New Kind of Life, New Kind of Hell

Chapter 10: Fight Club: Part 2

North Western Side of Pentagram City, Hours Later...

[Asher is walking down the streets in Pentagram City which don't seem very populated at this time of... Night? It's dark out. Well, I mean... Kinda dark... It's darker than it usually is but there's still an eerie red glow looming over the city. Most likely coming from the giant ass pentagram in the sky. In short, it's dark out but it's as if there were a full moon in the sky. Except this moon is full of hate and evil. Anyways, Asher is walking down a sidewalk in what appears to be the upper west side of Pentagram City with his gas mask on. He's looking all around rather suspiciously. He seems to be keeping his eyes out for Jerry. And the crows... He walks up to a lamppost and stands still under it. He looks all around himself once again before groaning and shaking his head.]

Asher: *Groan* (In Head) Where the fuck is that damn imp!? Where the hell could he be? This city isn't huge but it's pretty damn big! I mean come on! *Growl* Uggghhhh...

[Asher looks around at his surroundings once again. A few other demons are walking around the streets. They look at Asher for a second before going back to their business. Asher shakes his head once again and rubs his forehead. Even though he has his gas mask on.]

Asher: (In Head) Fucking... *Annoyed Groan* Where in literal hell is that damn imp? I don't even know where I am anymore...

[Asher looks around at his surroundings a tad bit confused.]

Asher: (In Head) I think I'm still on the western side of the city... But I feel like I went a bit north. Hmm... It's getting dark out... Well kinda dark... Hell's version of the night is quite odd...

[Asher looks down the sidewalk he came from.]

Asher: (In Head) *Sigh* Maybe I should just head back to the workshop. Who knows? Maybe Jerry went back when I wasn't looking... This city tends to get a bit weird at night. Well... More weird than usual...

[Asher looks up a bit. He scans the sky around him and the rooftops of the buildings surrounding him.]

Asher: (In Head) Plus I don't want to get spotted by those-

*Caw*

[Asher immediately tenses up and freezes, his eyes go wide. He looks around without moving an inch.]

Asher: (In Head) Where the hell did that come from?

*Caw*

[Asher tenses up once again. The cawing noise came from right above him, on top of the lamp post he's standing under. Asher looks up towards the top of the lamp post and sees a crow perched on it looking around the street. Probably for food. Or some sort of prey...]

Asher: (In Head) Uh-oh...

[The crow continues to look around. Asher raises an eyebrow a bit confused but still panicked.]

Asher: (In Head) Does it even know I'm here?

[The crow looks around a bit more, then it looks down towards Asher.]

Asher: (In Head) Well it does now.

[The crow stares at Asher closely for a second. Then it looks back up at the street before quickly flying away. Asher watches it fly away. He places his left hand on his chest and takes a deep breath. He seems to have calmed down a bit.]

Asher: (In Head) Alright... So it didn't recognize me with the gas mask on. Hmm... I guess that means only their leader can, the uhh- Crescent Crow... Good to know for when I need to head back into the city for some stupid reason. Mmm...
