Overlord Intro Part 5: The World XXI

As you calmed down, and started thinking through everything, the bubbling of heads that had risen from your fur settled, returning beneath. However, your three heads remained.

With that, yet another realization came upon you. A day for revelations, I suppose, you thought in triplicate. When demons accessed their "True Demon Forms" it was in a state of heightened emotion, and/or they felt threatened. Both of these had been true for you, but other demons usually reverted back once those feelings had passed. Perhaps, because you had been able to dedicate extra space to your heightened emotion throughout your heads, you would be able to maintain this state? Not that you would want to outside of this room; you would be grateful if you could maintain your Hellhound remain a faceless Overlord to the public.

You thought to explain yourself. In one voice. Not three, or one in 3-part harmony, or swapping your voice between your heads. One. That would be simplest, and not make it seem like you were showing off, or that you were better-than, or a threat. You were in company that might take offense to that, and you were not about to make any more enemies than you had to. You took advantage of the sudden silence you had been the cause of.

"I would like to apologize for my outburst. I took great offense to the V's comments about Hellhounds and myself, and in a state of high anxiety, it appears I have triggered a greater demon form. Once again, you have my apologies; I do not wish to be perceived as aggressive at this moment. Though, to make things simpler for the time-being, at least for my sake, I will remain in this form. Reasons for this being none of your concern, and I will not accept any questions regarding it."

The words that came from your middle head were well-practiced, having run through three heads, triple-checked and edited in a third of the time it would've taken anyone else. Your left head gave a nod to Loona, who silently did the same, recognizing that you were alright. Your center head continued speaking.

"I'm sure you have other questions regarding my initial appearance as a Hellhound. Some of you tried to take advantage of that, revealing to me how you would treat any other that looked like me. Know that I have taken note of it."

You glared at Vox with your right head, and he tried to make himself look busy. He tapped his metal fingers together, finding the ceiling interesting. He had completely changed his attitude now that you had revealed you were Kerberos. Your left head was still looking at Loona, who was gradually recovering from her surprise, and was now becoming just unsettled.

"I will now let Kerberos speak," you said, taking a step backwards, and pulling out the chair next to you. You gestured for Loona to take a seat. She was once again surprised, but you nodded at her in reassurance. It took her a second, but she understood. You were still keeping up the plan of presenting yourselves as equals in the Overlord business. Who was to say Kerberos couldn't be two people? If you had looked like a Hellhound before, hiding your status, couldn't it stand to reason she might be doing the same? It also created a safety net for her. If you were asserting that she was Kerberos, she would be safe from any Overlords that might've now assumed that she was just an ordinary Hellhound that was assisting the real Kerberos, and try to take advantage of the weakness you had just exploited by revealing yourself as actually a sinner.

Loona made to sit down. She got comfortable, scooting further back in the seat until she was settled. You pushed her seat forward, then stood at her side, creating a presentation that put her as greater than you. This was all a clever ruse, masking as many secrets as you could from the other Overlords in this moment.

The Overlords, now having gotten over their shock, and having listened to you speak, sat back down in their chairs, murmuring to each other. After some conversation, Vox spoke up again. Though, he was considerably more polite to the two of you, and he addressed Loona with a tone of respect, despite the content of his words.
