Ashlotte's pod had been fried from the surge. A protective metal case with a glass door sealed Ashlotte inside. There was nothing keeping the golem in a stasis. "
No power source available. No owner available. Seeking." Ashlotte announced, before shattering the case in front of her, and stepping out, looking around the room, before stepping outside.
The whole Magi complex was in a state of chaos. Men and women in uniforms ran by Ashlotte without seeming to care too much about her existence. All but one, a man who's only features shown from his equipment were his lips, shouted at her. "
Go find your master, golem! Get out of the streets!" he commanded.
"
Affirmative." Ashlotte replied. She was about to call him her master, but it seemed he didn't want to be. So, she calculated the most likely location a new master would be, and decided that it would be down the mountain. Her eyes flashed red for a moment, before she began walking down through the Magi streets. Ashlotte kept walking, looking at everyone running by frantically, shouting in a panic. '
The power has been shut down across the entire city. The humans apparently depended on it heavily, just as I do.' Ashlotte observed. She kept walking through town. The possibility of finding a master here seeming abysmal. She would have to go somewhere else.
Ashlotte left the iron city. Her feet no longer made metallic clanks on the ground, and now instead sounded like soft plush noises from the dirt making way under her heavy step. Ashlotte's eyes flashed red again, observing the countryside. '
No human settlements detected...' Ashlotte noted, with what sounded like disappointment. '
If I do not find a power source, I will shut down...' Ashlotte noted further, a golem's version of the fear of starvation.
Then, someone made themselves known to Ashlotte. Normally she'd have detected them much sooner, but apparently they were good at avoiding prodding threads. It was apparently a humanoid figure in a black robe. "
Identify yourself." Ashlotte demanded.
"
You look lost, little golem~" A female voice cooed. "
Where is your master?"
"
I do not have one." Ashlotte replied.
"
Ah... Well, you're in luck. I know of someone who could use a golem servant."
Ashlotte's eyes blinked red, scanning. "
You're a demon. I am programmed to treat you as hostile against mankind."
The demon chuckled. "
Am I threatening anyone? Don't worry, I'm not here to harm anyone. I've already done what I've set out to do, so why don't you head back with me? I promise, you'll find a master~" said the demon girl.
Ashlotte remained silent for a moment, before nodding, and accepting the demon's request. Ashlotte followed her back through a demonic portal, past a bunch of witches and a girl with a huge scythe. Baphomet.
