Nevermore Tasks 035

[The demon breathed hard, looking tired but not from the run, Fingers pressed into the bark of the tree and he heaved just to get in any air. He had to know and increase his limits with training, especially since something strange was happening so he had taken it upon himself to run as far and as fast as he could. Wednesday had been a bit of a conundrum to him when he realized he could shift around Adstringendum like he wanted nor could he suddenly leap up onto a building. It had been nearly a week now. What had been most peculiar was that something such as this had started mid week instead of the usual Sunday morning. In all his time in Adstringendum, he couldn't think of a time when something this significant happened.

His stomach growled and loud, making his hand return to it to favor it once more. For a demon that hadn't eaten in three long years nor slept a wink in centuries, it was starting to catch up to him and take a toll on his body. Despite the sweat, his body shook from sleep depravity in the smallest of tremors. Resigning to the inevitable he pressed his back to the tree and slid down it, hiking a knee up to brace himself in case he needed to be back upon his feet in seconds. He was more human like this week with no demon abilities but that didn't mean he was entirely defenseless. He could still wield his knives just as easily. The pain was nothing. He could run for hours on end even if it burned. It was merely how much his body could keep up.

His pocket watch clicked open in his hand.]
