Your better judgement tells you, that you don't want to be involved in whatever this is. You begin to make your way through the crowd and back toward the more empty side of town. Some people are shuffling about the crowd, but the fact that you are moving to the far end of the crowd has caught the attention of one of the giant demon's heads- her left head to be precise. That head begins whispering to the central head, and soon after you would feel a gust of wind hit your back.
"We have made our decision." speaks the central head. You turn to see the giant standing once more. You get the feeling that the gust of wind was caused by her standing up, you couldn't imagine what else could have done it. Nevertheless the giants gaze, or rather gazes, seemed to be set on you. Not a moment later she raises her hand and points directly at you. You take a step back. You were at a loss. your eyes scouring the crowd. You hoped that she was pointing at someone directly beside you. But that hope was dashed the moment people made room for you. Center stage, the giant cups her hands around you, and lifts you high high into the air. She adjusts her hands and places you in her palm.
Leaning far back, eyes wide, you stare at you captor. She stares at you too. The center head seems unsure. One side seems particularly upset, you would even venture to say angry. The other, her eyes sparkle, she is clearly, very happy- ecstatic even. The center head, speaks once more. "Everyone else may return to their dwellings and enjoy the day." While the center head speaks, the happy side on the left has brought her snout to palm of her hand... and then, lick.. lick.. lick.
The head on the right speaks loudly, almost yells at the head on the left "Can you at least wait until we get back home?!" using her hand to force that head up and out of the palm you were now laying on your back in- covered in spit. "Of- course I can, I just don't want to!" Shouts happy. You try to raise yourself up and get a look around, and Cerberus begins to move- most likely on her way home. Which from what you could make out while she was moving- was that castle behind her.
Not long passes, and you're almost shaking in fear as she carries you through this large castle. Eventually she comes to a stop and places you on a bed, atop a very soft blanket no less. She then haunches over so that all heads are now level with you. The central speaks. "First, what is your name little.. eye demon?" You utter your name, "..Domeki-" as you stumble backwards and catch yourself. You then take a knee- because the soft surface on top of your current state of dizziness caused by being lifted so high into the air is not a great mix. Being unsure and worried about everything taking place certainly wasn't helping either.
The central head speaks up once more. "Scared are you? That's fine, you have every right to be. It's not every day that Cerberus chooses a servant." The other 2 heads chime in. "A slave!", "A pet!" and then the center returns to speaking. "..As you can see it's not too hard to understand our personality. It is nice to meet you Domeki."
Despite everything she had said, she still managed to come off as.. friendly? Friendly for a demon anyway. She still just wanted a servant. The center head speaks again. "I promised that these two could have their turns with you first." You raised your voice- "Turns with me?! Doing what?" She gives a very faint smile, "We'll be learning a lot about each other." She pulls a large gold coin from atop her dresser. "You call it. Heads or tails. If it lands on what your choice, you may start with the safer of the 2." You stare at the coin, and then her, and then the coin once more.. "Right.. now?" You spoke. And she replies, "Yes, right now."
