Where Every Scroll is a New Adventure
In which the animal that is most like their soulmate is always near them. You had been selected to be a transfer student to the devildom. A few weeks in, you managed to get past Lucifer to explore the stairs. Why is your animal companion so eager to get to the attic?
(Imagine below the cut)
The first few weeks as a transfer student in the devildom had certainly been interesting.
The sloth bear (haha sloth bear) that hung around you seemed to have a strong dislike for Lucifer, but liked to nap in Beelzebub’s room whenever you were busy.
The brothers had shown an interest in the animal that was supposed to show you your soulmate, but that interest quickly dissipated after the second week when you had to get Beelzebub to help you hold him back from attacking a demon that looked at you the wrong way.
For a little while, you thought that maybe Beelzebub was your soulmate due to how relaxed the bear was around him, but after realizing that he was never seen with an animal that could possibly represent you, you pushed aside the thought.
The bear did however show an interest in the stairs to the attic.
He was often seen sitting at the bottom of the stairs, and occasionally would nudge you towards them.
In a moment of curiosity, you asked Lucifer if there could be anyone hiding out in there that the bear could be drawn to.
“I can assure you, if someone was up there I would know.”
When you finally snuck past the avatar of pride to check for yourself, you were surprised to find Belphegor.
The avatar of sloth had been sleeping with his head resting on the fluffy side of a lamb.
At your arrival, he was instantly awake, the scent of human making his lip curl.
But when his eyes landed on the large, dark brown bear that sat beside you, he paused.
“What is that, human?”
He completely ignored your question of who he was, instead watching as the lamb that had appeared by his side only two decades ago interact with the bear.
“Uh... he’s a sloth bear. Wait is the lamb your soulmate animal?”
Needless to say, Belphegor was amused as to what happened to be the animal representing him. A sloth bear of all things.
The two of you ended up falling into a conversation about your soul animals as said creatures interacted between the bars.
