While the lie was simple enough and Jacob hoped that the mage at the top of the well would buy it, the demon watched silently as the man didn't go away nearly quick enough for the beast.  Opening a portal right underneath the mage, Jacob had the other end opened up in front of him and had his claws ready to go as he fell through, only to have his throat slashed out as Jacob swung hard.  Raan's face was a study in shock and horror at the demon before him as his blood flowed freely, dead before he ever hit the stone floor.  "That takes care of that problem.  Serion, wasn't it?  Would you be against sharing your prize with me?  I have need to restore my strength and to also set our plans into motion, provided she can handle what I have to give of course."  The demon said, casually stepping over Raan's body without a second thought to the fact he still had the mage's blood on his hands and across his chest from the splatter.  It was just another day for the male demon of lust.
