Balthazar walked out of the power well and out onto the balcony. Looking over his so called followers doing their duties. Anger flowed through his body as he thought of the failure of his guards just days before. He turned around and walked back into the throne room just as his captain of the guard walked into the room.
"How could you have let her escape?! A child, a woman child no less, slipped past your best men. How am I to trust them with my life?!" Balthazar shouted over the stammering objections of his captain. Reaching forward and wrapping his fingers around his neck and tossing him into the twin wells in his throne room.
"You're of no use to me, you are nothing! You're powers will be mine." Balthazar began chanting and striping the powers from his captain flowing into his own body.

Starfire walked into Balthazar's castle. Was she really going to tell him that she was going to back out...her stomach turned as she walked through the halls being guided by two other Demons that seemed to be apart of his army. The way they looked at her, almost as if she was a toy waiting to be played with. She adjust her shirt so she was covering herself more. Her wings fluttered and her horns rested on her head.
She let out a quiet sigh as she stepped into the throne room, her eyes widened as she watched the captain being thrown into a well and watched his power slowly drain. Star stayed quiet watching, she was scared for her life. If that were to happen to her she'd most likely die but that's what she had been asking for lately. "Balthazar..." She said voice just above a whisper. "We need to talk."

Balthazar turned back towards the door where Starfire had entered. As he turned the limp body of his former captain fell to the ground and slumped over. Balthazar moved closer to Starfire and then sat upon his throne motioning the smaller of the guards that escorted Starfire.
"You, I need a new general, you're promoted!" He decreed and tossed a blade to him.
"Now, Starfire, how are things coming along over in Halazar's domain? I assume, if you're here, we're about ready to take him by surprise." Balthazar inquired looking down from the throne to Starfire. "Well, speak then."

Her venom green eyes glanced up at him as she listened to him talk. Slowly she took a deep breath and fidgeted with her hands trying to get up the guts to say what needed to be said. "I-I can't do it..I can't help you." Her voice was still quiet but now it was shaky. Star was worried for her life but all she could do was look at the ground. "Halizar is Desteals best friend..I care about Des and I can't help you with your plan, I'm sorry." As she spoke her voice got louder as she gained bits of confidence but was slowly beaten down again after looking up to make eye contact with Balthazar.

Rage flared up inside of him. As he stood up from his thrown chains shot from behind in and wrapped themselves around her.
"Just like a woman to back out of her responsibilities. I have taken out Desteal once, I will do it again of I have to!" He shouted at her as the chains tightened and brought her up from the ground and closer to him. He ran his the tip of his finger down the side of her face and spoke again. "Do you think you can just back out of our little deal? I'm sure you know I've killed better demons, full demons, for less."

"You don't have to, you chose to." She whispered before her breath hitched due to the tightening of the chains. Star closed her eyes and focused on her breathing as soon as she felt him touch her she pulled away. "I know what you can do and it doesn't impress me, it angers me. A-And i'll back out because Demons never really keep their promises. Everything is just a lie and we are the pawn to get to the truth." She said, her eyes now open again as she looked at Balthazar. Instead of fear, she showed anger but deep down she was scared, she was terrified.

Balthazar waved his hand to the side and the chains sent Starfire flying across the room almost sliding into the the power well. Before Starfire could look up Balthazar was on the other side of the wells, he stepped through the stream and picked her up by the neck. "What are you doing here then? If you're not going to help you would have known better than to come to me."
Balthazar looked at Starfire dead in the eyes and realized then why she came to him. "You seek your death, is that it? You want to die, but if that's the case then I can provide you with what you seek. However I must ask why, what makes you hunt death child?"

As she hit the ground she winced slightly, her wings were tangled in the chains and weren't much help. "I'm here to apologize. I just can't do it." She felt a bit dizzy but once he stared at her she felt him looking into her soul and she hated it, she hated him. Why did she agree to do any of this from the start. She knew he was bad, She was warned about him but she failed to listen.
"I seek death cause i'm worthless. I do not wish you to grant that wish for me though. I know who I want to kill me and finish me off and one things for sure its not you." Star glared at him, anger rising more and more but fear seemed to take over quickly.

With his face inches from hers Balthazar laughed at the anger her face began to reflect. "Tell you what child, I had little faith in you to begin with so I will let you back out of our little deal. However you must do something for me. There's a child, small, young and yet so powerful, I need her brought back to me. Go to the place know as Wildgard, find her and bring her back. Then if you truly seek death, I will provide you with what you seek." Balthazar smirked and released his grasp of her.

As he let go Star fell limp to the ground. "Who says I want to do anything for you! I just want out of our last deal. no need to make another that I know I won't complete. I know what you do with your powers and if I do anything for you the chances of you hurting or injuring this child you speak of are probably quite high." Her anger only seemed to rise after she fell but this was the only time she actually let her anger out to someone this powerful.
Star didn't bother to stand up but she pushed herself up and rested on her elbows looking him dead in the eye. "Do what you wish, torture me, kill me...I don't care anymore. If you take my powers, you'll probably shatter my soul so much that I will die in a short amount of time but that doesn't mean it'll stop any of my problems...It might just create more." She sighed slowly calming herself down but keeping her guard up. She felt stupid not to bring a weapon with her but she remembered the dagger that was hidden in her boot, so it calmed her a little bit more.

Balthazar kicked Starfire hard sending he skidding across the floor. "Do you really think that is a choice? You can do as I say or you can die here today. You've already claimed you don't desire me to kill you so-" with a snap of his fingers a portal opened to Wildgard. "- you know what to do. She's not one that belongs there." He stepped back and waved his guards into the room, signalling them to deal with her.
