By the most unlikely encounters

A person will rise in a Age of Darkness.

After the Age of the Two Gods, Of the Age of the Sorceress Salem, The Hero Ozma and the Warrior King of Vale.

This Era will be known to the one who shall End these times of Darkness.

Hmmm...What's the Era called?

Well before he started the Golden Ages of Renmant his Era was called...

Era of the Beast King

Salem, Ruby, and Alina arrived at the entrance to the massive mansion and greeted the guards.

The guards blocked the way expressionlessly. "Reason for visit?" 
"It's official" Alina said. "F**k off."
One of the guards raised his eyebrows and whispered to the other. The guard's eyes widened slightly and they let them pass.

"That's suspicious." Salem remarked once they were out of earshot of the guards.

Ruby agreed.
 "Seems that we are expected." Alina noted the archers on the walls aiming at them.

The king and somone else exited the mansion to greet them.
"What brings three Inquisitors to my doorstep?" He asked.
"Slaving." Salem answered shortly.
"What of it?" The King asked.
"You really want to do this?" Alina stepped forward, readying her bow.
The King smiled. "You forget where you are." He laughed.
"And you don't know who I am." Salem said, Summoning Reaper who promptly summoned a hundred-odd skeletons.
The King went pale. "He's got a Lich Spirit Companion!" He exclaimed. "Target him!"
Salem made his nanomachines act like he was erecting a wall of bone so he could deflect the arrows, while simultaneously sending out nanobot bugs to keep track of his surroundings, ensuring his safety.
"Good luck~" Ruby said, laughing and drawing her sword. "You might die too soon and we are here to play~" 
Ruby's actions were exceedingly creepy to the King and the man next to him.
"Do you know who I am?" The man next to the king demanded.
"You're Rothschild, a slave trader." Ruby giggled. "Come on and play~"
During Ruby's creepy exchange with Rothschild, Salem had made a bow and arrows that looked like they were made of bone.
Firing the bow, he began picking off the archers on one side, while Alina did the same on the other side.
Ruby seemed to be on even footing with Rothschild in swordplay, so she began peppering in sword spells.
"Why are you holding back?" Rothschild screamed at Ruby.
"Well, it wouldn't be fun if you died too quickly, now would it?" She giggled maniacally. "Come. Lets play~"
Even Salem started to feel slightly creeped out, despite his cold-blooded passive.
At this point, there were no archers left. Salem checked his surroundings once more to be sure, before turning and incapacitating the King.
Easily restraining the man, he watched as Ruby and Rothschild continued fighting.
Ruby eventually grew bored of the fight and lopped his head off with a nonchalant flick of her sword.
Ruby turned to the King and smacked him a few times."What should we do with this motherf**ker?" She asked Salem
"I'm not sure, but there are reinforcements coming." Salem responded, noticing the bugs pinging the enemies that were incoming.

Salem Argenti was an incredibly intelligent boy. Up until he was murdered. After he died, he awoke in a parallel universe of unending opportunity, and unending danger as well...

ELINA: I want lunch.

But there's something I want even more.

It's his secret. Why the hurry to make money? He must be doing it for someone. Someone who is more important to him than his own life.

A mother? Father? A sibling?

Or a lover?

I changed tactics. If an information exchange deal couldn't get it out of him, then I had to try something else.

I said, "Fine." Corn for lunch. I could deal with that. But in return I wanted to extract something else out of him. A promise.

It wasn't too hard to get him to say it. Promise me that he'll tell me someday. Of course I knew that he had no intention on keeping this promise, but for what it's worth, if it the time ever came, I could leverage it.

But there was one other thing I wanted to know. And I knew Salem didn't have the answer. He was just a hired sword.

What did the Church of Deliverance want from me?

Was I beautiful? Maybe.

Was my magic powerful? Probably.

But the Church usually wanted witches dead, not alive.

Which made Salem's contract odd. An exception.

I guess I'll have to wait for a chance to find out.

And that chance came sooner rather than later.

I noticed the war horses outside the travel inn. The armor. The insignia. I summoned a spark of magic to my eyes and looked closer.

A hand holding a candle.

Armored horses that belonged to the Church.

Why would the Church have combat horses? You wouldn't need swords and armor to spread prayers.

Whatever the case, maybe I could find the answer to my question here. How fortunate. This way I wouldn't need Salem to bring me all the way to Merkelborough.

I glanced at Salem. It looks like he hasn't noticed anything strange yet.

"Can we stay here?" I asked.

"No, too expensive."

We got closer to the inn. Salem's eyes changed. A look of recognition. Realization. Confusion.

I tugged at his sleeve. "Can we stay here?"

------------------------

Salem made sure that I was tightly wrapped up in my winter cape and that the gransia cuffs were properly hidden underneath. He said if I made a single noise, we'd be camping again tonight.

I told him to get the biggest room. Two King sized beds with deluxe dinner and breakfast sets.

He requested the economy single Queen sized bed room. A small dinner for one, and no breakfast.

I wanted to nag him in front of the innkeeper. But watching Salem hand over the money for the room was like watching a witch hunter getting their fingernails torn out: a painful process that brought a little smile to my face.

He took the key. We went upstairs.

I said, "You could've at least paid for two rooms, you know? Or a larger room with two beds."

"I don't know if the Church is going to reimburse me for the cost of staying here."

"You can always just take the receipt and deduct it from your taxes as a business expense."

He gave me an odd look. Like witches couldn't know about loopholes in the tax code. He said, "I don't think the king has a tax policy like that."

The room was small, but better than the cart. Without saying anything we both went downstairs to the dining hall where most of the travelers sat.

I told Salem I wanted the corner table. I expected him to put up resistance. Because a captor couldn't obey the captive so easily. But he nodded. Weird.

The food came and I took the dinner plate all to myself. A few slices of mutton, some boiled potatoes and a chunk of roast rabbit. Not much. But it was well cooked.

Salem said nothing. His eyes weren't even on the food. I followed his gaze. He was looking at two men. From the Church. It was easy enough to spot them. They both wore capes with the insignia stitched on.

"Are you planning on handing me over to them?" I asked.

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because my contract is with a specific priest in the Church. These men won't pay me."

"Then why are you looking at them?"

Salem said nothing.

I returned to my food.

Salem reached over for a potato. I slapped his hand.

I hummed an ancient tune as I ate. Today was a good day. I was able to get new clothes and now I had the chance to gather information.

It was time to do a bit of my own hunting.

There is someone who’s trying to kill me. He thinks that I don't know about him. He thinks it's going to be easy. But I have something he doesn’t. So let’s play a game. 

Elina is a witch. And she is bored. Turns out there is a downside to having the greatest magic in the world: it makes everything too easy. And when everything is easy, everything is boring. But when a witch hunter is sent after her, Elina decides to have some fun. Have him think he has the upper hand. And when he begins to bore her, well…

Salem is hired to find a girl. A special girl. A girl called Elina. It looks like an easy job. But when he finds her, things take an unexpected turn. Is he lucky or unlucky? 

Elina and Salem. Two mortal enemies. But when circumstances change, can enemies become something else?

Daina was angry―no, furious. Furious at the fact that she had been unable to defend her parents under the onslaught of criticism. 

It had been a regular summer day―boring, scorchingly hot―and she had been tempted more than once to swim naked in the nearby river, but was certain that her mother would give her a whooping if she found out. 

As usual, she had begun to draw on the dirt, her imagination running wild. A hero here, a princess there, and the tale was almost complete. Now it only needed a background for her to complete the masterpiece. However, the process of creating one became so tedious and dull that she instead opted to look at the trail of ants scurrying by. The ground beneath her became shrouded by shadow strangely. So strange, in fact, that she began to see they resembled the silhouette of a tiny mob. 

Daina sighed. [If only I could hold up a fan to the sun so that it would cool down.]

"Loser! What're you doing all by yourself? Have no friends?" 

Children's guffaws sounded behind her. However, Daina only sighed once more, completely ignoring the jeers. Noting her attitude, one of the braver and reckless boys of the group stepped in front of her, stomping on her creation. She pouted, lithely getting up and dusting her clothes off.

 Roy had the reputation of being a bully, yet was still beloved and admired. Everyday, without fail, he mocked her. No other child stepped in or stood up for her. On the other hand, she deduced that they all felt a sense schadenfreude and relief, knowing that she was the target of his efforts and not they. The adults didn't intervene or reprimand them, either. Her parents would have sought justice for her, but she wasn't willing for them to be on even worser terms with the villagers. It was bad enough as it was. 

Although irritating, the village children's actions never got to the point of harassment. Furthermore, the children seemed to believe she was some sort of witch and thought approaching her was the best way to prove their courage. All she had to do to scare them off was to react to their taunts. Thus, she gave Roy a glare, believing it would suffice. However, what had occurred next was completely unexpected. 

In synchrony, the children stepped forward, surrounding her and standing intimidatingly. 

Unfazed, she indignantly exclaimed, "What insolence! Who are you to step in my path? My parents have protected and aided everyone in this village, yet only received shunning in return while their offspring harm their precious daughter. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you." 

Roy once again stepped forward, in an arrogant stance. "Useless descendant of pathetic parents, that's what you are!"

She glared at him once again. "Since when was this doofus your guys's spokesman?"

A blush crept up Roy's face, fury visible. Trembling, he pointed at her. "You―you daughter of a whore! That's what you are! I bet your mother got her position and wealth by seducing the king." 

Wide-eyed, she dramatically gasped and frantically glanced around. "Oh golly! Profanity and slandering the emperor? How courageous!"

She rolled her eyes. "Whose womb did you crawl out of five years too early? Oh, and be a dear and invite me to your execution. With your stupidity, you'll unknowingly pick up ten other offences along the way. Wonder what type of punishment that would be like." Patting his shoulder, she beamed and said, "Don't disappoint me, now. Remember, I'm not your father."

Many of the children began to chuckle. It was a well-known fact that Roy always peed his bed sheets. 

Routinely, his mother would wash the sheets in the early morning. Since it was a time-consuming task, all villagers had at one point or another stumbled upon the scene. There was no one in the village that did not know of the fact, but many chose not to speak of if out of respect for Roy's father, the head of the village. Otherwise, the villagers would have dethroned, and subsequently ostracized, Roy. 

Embarrassed, Roy fled, his followers chasing after him.

Peeing one's bed sheets wasn't a big deal, since everyone typically outgrowths that faze. If it were only that, Roy wouldn't have felt so ashamed. However, as head of the village, one has to uphold a certain image of perfection to seem dependable: Roy's habits became a black mark on his reputation. Nevertheless, he always doted on his son. Even so, Roy was aware of the expectations he failed to meet, which prompted him to find an outlet to vent his anger out on. While not an excuse, it did make one pity him.
   
Daina chuckled. He reminded her of a headless chicken, running around like a fool. Beheaded chickens were the best source of entertainment one could find in a tiny, isolated village such as this one.

Truthfully, it was not Roy who Daina should worry about.

This was a deeper issue than it seemed. Those children had never met her parents personally, probably being deterred by their own parents. Thus, the comments of those children were directly influenced by the villagers' true opinions. Despite suspecting that the villagers viewed her family unfavorably, Daina had never expected for their envy to reach that extent.

King Frederic―the current king―inherited his throne during an era of chaos. Merely turned thirteen, he had to restore the country his predecessor nearly destroyed due to his greed. The previous king cared not for his citizens, beginning wars and forcing the innocent to fight in his stead. Furthermore, he raised taxes to fund the wars, causing his kingdom to fall into a state of poverty and ruin. Any public opposition immediately led to beheadment. Ultimately, the consequences soon caught up with him, for only a coup d'etat―led by Frederic―placated the commoners' thirst for vengeance. In a turn of events, Frederic's most trusted aides betrayed him with the full support of the citizens. Everyone believed that, apart from his countenance, Frederic had also inherited his father's atrocious greed. Only by destroying the root of the problem would they restore peace. 

Traitors massacred all his family members, of who sacrificed themselves so that he could flee to another planet. Not in vain, for Frederic became famous for his talent as a cultivator, capable enough to lead to his acceptance into Emerald-Rose Academy, one of the most prestigious academies in the Aurora Planet, and thus the universe. There, he met and befriended Daina's parents, Delyth and Alfred.

Loyal the couple proved to be. Instead of returning to their respective planets after graduation, they decided to follow Frederic through all his endeavors until he regained his throne a decade later. By this time, the love blossomed between the couple and, wanting to settle down, they requested permission to resign. King Frederic wanted to reward them handsomely, but they did not accept. How could an honorable man such as Frederic not be grateful? The harmonious couple are currently under his good graces, and any reasonable request of theirs he would fulfilled. A privilege, but one that had only been used once, rendering it practically meaningless. King Frederic understood their personalities better than anyone else. Harmonious as the stars at night, all they needed to complete the image was a moon to dote on; a target for their affections. 

Sadly, despite their best efforts, the years had passed by without signs of pregnancy. The couple and their closest friends started to suspect one was barren, searching high and wide for a cure or explanation until they encountered the famous, yet mysterious, apothecary Salem. While everyone acknowledged and respected his skills, no one appreciated his fickleness and hard-to-please attitude that made bargaining difficult. Any opportunity, even with the attached challenges, would definitely be seized by the desperate couple.

Unexpectedly, Salem offered Delyth free treatment. In just minutes, Salem identified the situation, demonstrating that his reputation was not for naught. Delyth turned out to be a fertile female, but lacked the necessary amount of spirit energy to conceive. Salem foresaw that the child would have an enormous soul and monstrous potential that would remain unreached if the fetus lacked spiritual strength to withstand the power of its soul. Destiny mandated the couple to bear and nurture this future anomaly. 

Comprehending much from little that Salem spoke, Alfred fed Delyth all sorts of concoctions prescribed by Salem until finally she conceived. 

Joyous, the couple gave their farewells and retired to the countryside to live a peaceful life, currently residing on top of a cliff in the little Rockslide Village. Wealth and power typically corrupt the weak-willed to the point of finding it unbearable to part with it, but the couple never once complained about their newly-acquired humble lifestyles. Aware of their privileges, and empathetic to others' struggles, the robust couple protected the vulnerable village from rampaging beasts that emerge from the bordering Demonic Forest. Furthermore, they were magnanimous, sharing their belongings, carrying drinkable water from rivers miles away, and harvest during droughts. Nevertheless, those shameless leechers shunned and slandered the family, influencing  their children to do the same.

The more she remembered from her parent's lessons, the angrier she became. In the next moment, that facade of nonchalance cracked, her true emotions slowly leaking out until it completely broke. 

And even those stupid birds won't shut up! 

She screamed, flinging the rock towards the flock of crows circling overhead. They scattered to avoid it, infuriating her further. No doubt all the villagers could hear the commotion she was creating, sure that she had lost her sanity.

Impulse acted upon, the fire within her naturally extinguished itself, and all that remained was determination.

Survival of the fittest; only the powerful can survive. That has always been the law of the land, especially in one dependent upon magic.

A determined, young girl faces challenges throughout her path to the top. She must fight against prejudice due to her gender while keeping a balance between obsession and desire, cruelty and mercilessness. 

Throughout her journey she will meet many people that will shape her and will learn along the way that, sometimes, power doesn't equate to happiness.

Salem walked with Railia, she shared with him all the happenings while he had slept, they had brought several smaller clans of elves into the fold. They had rescued dwarves and human villages along the way, they had met ambassadors from the dwarves, catfolk, and the elven empire. They had also completed the list of missions within the first year since then they had become the best in the business when it came to the creation of weapons and medicine. They had also finished the foundations for the next step for the fortification of Void City, to make sure there were no unexpected accidents he would need to unify the entire mountain. Both koftas and Idos would need to be vacated of any living being if they were to accomplish this next step.

They arrived at the gates to find the twins in full armor with their mounts beside them, the helh rauku were now the height of large wolves, they could be ridden for hundreds of miles before they tired, he was glad they were thriving but regretted missing the first decade of their growth. He felt his connection to the queen and king of the nest, the queen like always was taking care of the eggs as there had yet to be a replacement born for that role. The little king, on the other hand, felt the call and it raced to its master, as he felt the beast move through the castle ground he also heard a few shouts of surprise. The twins smiled mischievously at the ruckus he had caused, Railia stood beside him but he caught a wisp of a smile before it vanished, he sighed on the inside as he thought of how great the day had started.

Moments later his mount came hurtling through the gates, like the others it had armored plates like a centipede though they had fewer legs now that were much thicker their heads were triangular similar to a shark or lizard. It would seem they had gone through a few changes since their pure insect bodies had mutated, from what he could tell they were going to eventually be similar to the dragons of the immortal world, longer in form than the dragons of myth from his birth world and the current plane he was on now. Though he had not heard of any clans or tribes of dragon kind, they had been mentioned in old texts of the human and elven clans that had been gathered. Thinking to this point he was curious what their wings were going to look like, his mount nuzzled into him letting out growls and clicks from his throat, he chuckled at the affection and pet the demons head to reward him for coming so quickly. He noticed the black saddles attached to the mounts and got acquainted with the firm leather before climbing onto the demons back.
 

He shifted in the saddle until he was comfortable before leading the others towards the exit of the city, they traveled through the streets at a steady pace. Salem examined his city for the first time in a decade, and he was happy with what he saw, a sea of people went about their day some would bow or salute in their direction as they passed but before they noticed the riders he saw signs of happiness and unity. Salem was wholeheartedly impressed with the way they had ruled the city in his absence with a lightened heart he set out at a faster pace, with their mounts it took half an hour to reach the city gates. A few squads joined them at the gates some rode giant elk and some rode demons, once they fell into rank they made for the fort. Even on mounts, it took a few hours to reach the fort, once they came around the last bend there was a sea of armored shades waiting for them with a path that leads directly to the forts' gate.

Dawn was fast approaching and they needed to make sure their forces were prepared to dig out the pests in one fell swoop. Salem dismounted and led the others inside the fort to the war room, a few of the council members had already arrived and they were only waiting on a few stragglers and any auxiliary troops they had brought. Salem started the meeting not wanting to waste time, "Welcome everyone, from the reports there are roughly one hundred thousand orcs in Koftas' inner city, our goal is to eliminate them. If they choose to run then let them but we will push them all the way out. The first to enter the city will be the shades, once they flood into the city you have permission to do whatever you see fit to destroy them. I am not concerned with the state of the city, except for the walls do what you can to preserve them."

The dwarf captains began giggling and whispering to each other which had Salem wonder what new toy they had, the rest of his forces had slipped in during the briefing to hear the plan, which really wasn't a plan at all other than to roll over the enemy by using overwhelming numbers. Though that was what the shades were for to serve as cannon fodder so none were to upset with the 'plan'.  The human ambassadors stood to ready their forces, Salem motioned for them to sit while the rest of the council went their separate ways. 
They looked at one another quizzically before speaking, "What need do you have of us our liege?" They had assumed they would be joining the battle and had brought their forces with them as well.

"Don't worry, you have a different mission, but a battle that might be exceedingly more complicated than war. I need you to take your forces to Idos and persuade the city lord and elders to surrender." The ambassadors paled slightly at the thought, luckily their lord hadn't left them with only those orders. "You can use whichever methods you want, two squires are already at the fort on that side with their armies ready to assist you. First approach your contacts and friends, after that you can purchase the greedy ones and threaten the cowardly ones. You have one week to get all of your pawns before we will march on them next. Oh, and if they surrender, have the citizens evacuated to Void city, I want Idos to be empty as fast as possible, go now everything you need has already been taken to the other fort." 

Salem did not spare them another thought before he walked through the fort till he reached the wall overlooking Koftas, laid before him was the first city that he had arrived at since coming to this world and though it no longer burned it was still reduced to near ruins from the battles that had been waged within its' walls. As the sun rose over the walls he gave the order for the shades to march upon the land of the living. Large horns were blown and the gates creaked open with the rattling of chains, he could hear the armor of thousands of shades moving as one, Railia and the Twins joined him on the parapets to watch the shades as they became an ocean once they spread into formation beyond the fort.

The ground shook slightly from the sheer number of them, once they reached one hundred meters beyond the gate they broke into a full charge towards Koftas. They made no noise besides that of their boots hitting the ground, Salem smirked as he watched them move to conquer his enemies at command, there was something so satisfying watching your armies move at your command, not wanting to miss out on the battle he leaped from the wall to land directly into the saddle of his demon, it screeched in surprise and bolted after the shades. Salem looked over his shoulder to see Railia shake her head at him only to jump from the walls a moment later and land on her own mount followed shortly after by the Twins. 

He laughed aloud and enjoyed their antics, it had been too long since he had truly lived in the moment. He summoned his armor as there was no need to risk assassination on a battlefield, again, he thought to himself. He had caught up to the back of the shades before he got much further he heard the sounds of battle, the loud sound of cracking wood pierced over the sound of roaring orcs. He led his mount to a small hill that would give him a better view, he had just gotten comfortable when the shades had already broken through the defenses. 

Railia and the Twins arrived moments later, Sarah pulled up beside him exclaiming at the battle, "Well that was even faster than the last time we conquered the city."

"Wish he would conquer us more often!" came the voice of the other twin, Sasha winked at them as she rode toward the city. Salem thought to himself before agreeing with that statement and rode after her, once they reached the city gates of Koftas, what was left of them, they started to smell the tang of blood in the air. Past the gates were piles of green bodies, the wraiths had piled the bodies high while a few apprentices would pull some aside for the squires or their own to practice their skills at creating shades. Once the apprentices could create their own and had reached a certain level in their training they could now form a group and be assigned missions either during the battle, or on trade routes and the missions would grow in difficulty as the empire expanded.  

Salem knew eventually that some of his progeny would perish, as he grew stronger his territory would grow and they would be sent to conquer lands at his behest. They needed to be strong of mind and body, he could not coddle them, those who sought to be warriors would be given the best training and equipment, but only after they had proved themselves.

He would only take to the frontlines when opponents similar to his own strength would be available if he destroyed everything his people would lose an important whetstone to sharpen themselves with. As they traveled through the ruined city a group of dwarves was snickering among one another, curious as to what they were up to they stopped their mounts and watched the show.  A short time later a young void elf sprinted around the corner, hot on his heels was a Warband of orcs that would rip him and the dwarves to pieces. Seeing the smiles on the dwarves' faces he knew things were not as serious as they appeared. The young elf in the lead the orcs for another thirty meters before he dived into an open grate that led to the sewers, as soon as he was out of site the dwarves had lit something on fire, the sparks traveled quickly before splitting off into the shops that were around the orcs. After the sparks disappeared a massive explosion rocked the entire street, shrapnel shredded the orc war party into minced meat, the young elf crawled out from a grate next to the dwarves and received cheers from all around the party. 

"That was quite impressive, find out who they are and give them the resources they need to create a division in the army, explosives, and traps of various kinds could be very advantageous in future battles!" Salem exclaimed to Railia and the Twins. He hoped to see the inventiveness of this interesting party on a much grander scale. Railia sent one of the apprentices following them to collect the information while they resumed their journey to the front lines.

After getting closer to the front lines they noticed that the fighting had mostly come to an end, their shades massively outnumbered the orcs, forcing them out at this point was a mere formality of ordering the shades to attack. 

Strangely enough, there was a group of Squires with their apprentices, a squire noticed them passing by and ran over to report the situation. There was a group of women and children among the orcs, some humans and elves but they were led by an orc woman, she was quite tall with long raven black hair that fell to her waist. She wore a robe made of beast hides that stuck close to her toned body, she only had a ceremonial bone dagger on her waist, so she wasn't a warrior. Curious about the orc and her followers he pushed through the small crowd until he came face to face with her.

"Who are you and what brings you and your kin to my lands?" she gave no response so he repeated the question in her native tongue. This elicited a look of surprise on her face so he continued in Orcish, "I see, you only speak in your mother tongue, tell me why have you and your tribes invaded my home and for what purpose are you keeping those women and children?"

 'I so very much hate Orcish, finding ways to be civil with it is ridiculous, everything could come out as either a threat or a challenge' he thought to himself. Her reply to his question was shocking, she knelt to the ground and averted her eyes and proclaimed her intentions, "Oh God of the Void we have been sent by the Goddess of the Crimson Dawn with a message, one that only you will know the meaning, she has instructed me and my former tribe to come and ally ourselves with you and spread you name to the furthest reaches of the land!"

 Salem stood silently, he watched the orc pull a small ornate box from a pouch and held it out to him, waiting for him to accept it. 'I don't know a goddess by that name, strange how did one of the gods even find this tiny realm. There is no way that they tracked the emperor's soul through time and space right? If they did then we have to make preparations to leave, but first, let us see what this goddess has to say.'

 He gently took the box from the orc woman and examined it, it was made from gold with red runes beautifully etched onto its surface, the runes were so tightly packed they looked like a bright red sun with brilliant crimson rays shifting along its surface. He opened the box to find a ring within, a delicate gold band inlaid with a stunning red gem, tiny crimson runes gliding across the surface. It was a treasure beyond compare, he felt that it was familiar to him he caressed the side of the ring, as soon as he made contact with it he heard the message begin to play.

 "At long last big brother I have finally found you!"

The Immortal Empire:
 It was time to ascend the heavens and break free from heavens fate, to guard against and destroy the invading forces of the demons and gods, he looked upon the Heavens one last time before he turned to face his men.
 
With his mind determined he said to his companions "Let us be rid of these parasites once and for all!" 

His younger brother took a step forward with passion in his eyes he yelled "For the Emperor!" the other Immortals bowed in agreement, they replied, " FOR THE EMPEROR!". 

As the Heavens churned above to strike down the one who would try and make the laws of Heaven and Earth kneel before him. The Heavens seemed to roar as they unleashed their wrath upon the world. 

In a realm far detached from the will of the heavens a beautiful elf with golden eyes, pale white hair and alabaster skin so fair one would believe him an angelic being. 

As he stood above the anvil staring at his creation, not with pride but disgust.

 "Another failure, come here and take this with the others and have them destroyed, send word and these gifts to Lord Kele'brimbor, I need his help". 

A young servant girl stepped forward taking the ring and placing in a silver box lined in runes with dozens of other failures. 

She placed the other gifts that were placed next to the anvil into her satchel noticing the extra weight from the black box that seemed as if there were tiny stars from the nights' sky placed upon it the servant girl bowed "Right away Lord Sauron." 

As she turned closing the silver box leaving the tower, there was a faint flash of green coming from a small crack in one of the runes and beneath the sound of a breeze, a light sigh could be heard.

Sudah hampir waktunya Gerbang Dante terbuka, Arata yang saat ini berbaring di kasur menatap kosong ke langit. 

"Arata, apa yang kau pikirkan?"

Arata terbangun dan menatap Mina Salem yang telanjang di sampingnya. Yap, dalam waktu ini, Arata sudah berhasil "memakan" Mina Salem dan semua saudari Illia setelah beberapa hari kedatangan Radix Astil.

Arata mengelus rambutnya dan berkata, "Hampir waktunya aku akan memasuki Gerbang Dante. Sampai saat itu...aku ingin..."

"Aku akan ikut!"

Arata menghela nafas mendengar kata-kata Mina Salem. Tapi dia menggelengkan kepalanya, "Tidak bisa, kau harus pergi ke Biblia Academy dan melindungi tempat itu...aku tidak ingin kau pergi ke sana."

"...Kenapa?"

"....."

Arata terdiam, bagaimanapun dia adalah seorang yang provektiv pada perempuannya. 
"Lihat, kau tidak memiliki alasan bukan?"

Arata menghela nafas dan hanya mengagngguk tak berdaya pada Mina Salem, "Baiklah, tapi kau harus berhati-hati."

Mina Salem mengangguk gembira dan mencium Arata.

Keesokan harinya, Arata dan Mina Salem memutuskan untuk pergi ke Academy Biblia. Dengan teleportasi Arata, mereka sampai bahkan sebelum mata berkedip. 

"Yo! Kepala sekolah?!"

Kepala Sekolah terkejut atas kedatangan Arata yang tiba-tiba dan berkata, "Iyah, Arata-kun...kau selalu membuatku terkejut. Hmm? Apakah dia Mina Salem-sama? Perkenalkan, aku Kepala Sekolah dari Academy Biblia dan salah satu dari Paladin di dunia."

Mina Salem dengan senyum ceria berkata, "Ya, selamat berkenalan~"

Pintu tiba-tiba terbuka memperlihatkan Lilith dan Mira disana yang terengah-engah. 
Lilith yang melihat Arata segera menangis dan memeluknya. 

Arata tersenyum kecut dan juga memeluk Mira juga, dia tidak boleh pilih kasih bukan? 
....
"Jadi Liese, Levi, Arin pergi juga dan belum kembali?"

Lilith mengangguk dan berkata, "Itu terjadi setelah Radix Astil juga datang menyerang. Dia berkata bahwa akan menculik kami, tapi sayangnya dia gagal dan tiba-tiba pergi begitu saja."

Arata tersenyum dingin mendengar Lilith, "Jadi karena gagal membunuh Mina dan mengambil Grimoire miliknya, dia menargetkan kalian? Sora, kau tidak keberatan jika aku menghukum ibumu bertahun-tahun bukan?"

Sora mengangguk pengertian, "Lakukan, Master!"
-------------
Saat ini, Arata, Lilith, Mina Salem, Akio, Mira, Selina, dan Yui sedang berdiri tepat didepan gerbang besar, Gerbang Dante. 

"Semua yang melewati Gerbang ini, buang harapan kalian, ya...?"

Itulah yang tertulis di depan gerbang Dante. Sora segera berbalik dan berkata, "Sebentar lagi Gerbang akan dibuka. Apa kalian semua sudah siap?"

Mereka semua mengangguk dan segera pintu gerbang terbuka. Saat pintu itu terbuka, Arata merasa bahwa tempat ini sangat nyaman. 

[Terdeteksi Zat Demon Lord yang kental disini, Tuan rumah apakah akan diserap?]

Arata tersenyum dan maju, 'Serap sampai habis!!!'

"Arata! Apa kau tahu kemana kita akan pergi?" tanya Lilith. 

Arata tidak berbalik dan tidak berhwnti berjalan. Dia berkata, "Secara garis besar, Gerbang Dante dibagi menjadi 9 lapisan. Kita menyebut ini Dunia Neraka."

"Tempat kita sekarang disebut "Perpustakaan Akhirat" atau biasa disebut "Akeron". Targetku adalah Lapisan ke-9 temlat Demon King berada, jika kalian takut kalian bisa pergi...bagaimanapun ini adalah keegoisanku untuk meminta kalian ikut denganku."

"Tidak mungkin! (6x)"
Arata yang mendengar ini berhenti dan tertawa kecil. Lalu ia terus berjalan lagi tidak memperhatikan wanita dibelakangnya saling tersenyum memandang punggungnya.
...
Adata dam yang lainnya terus berjalan sampai saat mereka tiba di sebuah tempat dengan danau bersih di tengahnya.

"Perpustakaan Dunia bawah...Jujur, aku ingin sekali bertemu dengan seseorang yang memberi nama ini. Meskipun penamaanku buruk, tapi penaman tempat ini lebih buruk!"

Lilith dan lainnya hanya bisa tersenyum kecut mendengar keluhan Arata, tapi sebelum mereka ingin menjawabnya, sebuah kabut hitam menyelimuti semua orang. 

Arata sudah tahu apa yang terjadi, jadi dia tetap tenang. 'Tapi jujur, apakah jalur dunia sulit diubah?'

Itulah yang dia pikirkan sampai penglihatannya menghitam dan pingsan. Sungguh memalukan.

"Aku merindukan masa Feodal. Karena poligami di era feodal, pikirkanlah, ada banyak istri yang dapat berganti tidur setiap hari, dan mereka dapat tidur bersama." 

Suatu hari, sistem legendaris bergabung dengan Adam memberinya kemampuan untuk mengubah angkasa dan dunia, cakar buas Adam menjulur ke semua gadis yang bangga tak terhitung dari surga dan dunia!

Where are you? Talk to me now! You knew about this! You used me once again! Show me your face! 

The battlefield was a chaotic symphony, steel whistled, cries and groans chanted pain and anger, whilst hooves and footsteps played drums on the bloody grounds. The air was heavy and every breath was deeper than the one before it. The front flank of both armies advanced and met each other in their slaughter. Valkai fought each other for their kings' greed and dominion. The right flank of Sahr I led, waited for my signal to advance and I waited for Reynar's, who stood proudly in front of the second wave of the middle flank.

Where are you? The deity answered that day, with death and mischief. It was too late to do anything against the allied Sahr. I had to swim with the stream. I nodded at the soldier holding the signal flags and he raised and waved a blue one. On the other side of the army, I saw a blue flag flying in answer to ours. Edward's army raised two as well. 

Here it comes. I remember thinking. The first march of Sahr. Although I failed to see it coming, I somehow felt proud. I might not have taught Edward's Sahr magic, but I knew someone of my own kin did. My kin left their meaningless and boring life to find a purpose. I ignored their motive, but they challenged our curse and dared the laws. We made the wizards, we gave them power and I tried to find solace and pride in that. 

The left flank advanced first, to meet the Sahr of Edward's army. Both kings didn't know about the alliance, they both thought they were going to witness a magical war, when both enemy flanks merged into one and stood still in the middle of it all, facing the slaughtering of Valkai. Confusion rose in both sides, Reynar gave me the signal to march as well. 

"Now!" I yelled. 

The right flank I was leading forged on and I was ahead of it. To end this war and start a new one. The Titan king's army moved ahead to meet us, led by the tallest Sahr I have ever seen. He dismounted his white horse and pulled it from its lead.

"Prince Grigori." He said when met each other. "Sahr will not fight each other. We're under your command." He took off his helmet and we shook hands.

"We will stand as one. We will not interfere with their little quarrel. King Reynar... My father will take some time to realize what is happening." I replied.

"What do we do if they decide to fight us?" Asked the soldier I talked to earlier. 

"We fight back!" Answered the tall Sahr. "We will show them how they are no match to us."

Bad, this is bad. Maybe if I sooth him to think otherwise. No, it is inevitable. I can't sooth an entire army. I thought.  "Fighting will do us no good. We need so send emissaries to the kings." I demurred. 

The tall sahr looked at me in distrust.

Even this alliance isn't that strong. I thought. Seeds of doubt aren't easily reaped. 

"I think that is wiser. Fighting should be our last resort." He finally agreed. "I shall go talk to King Edward, you decide who will go speak to your father." He mounted his horse and left after whipping it and urging it into a fast trotting. 

"I will go speak to king Reynar. You're in charge until I come back." I ordered the young sahr soldier then mounted Grigori's mar and left. When I reached Reynar, he dismounted his enormous mar, angry and confused.

"What in the damned worlds are you doing? What is going on?" He asked furiously. 

"My liege... father... Sahr will not fight. Neither will I." I answered hesitantly.

"What do you mean you won't fight?" The king rushed towards me with fiery eyes. "Careful now. You might be my son but treason I will not stand."

"This is not treason, father. Sahr will not fight Valkai. We're not kindred anymore. You can fight Edward, but we will not interfere."  I hurled back. 

On the other side of the battlefield, tumult rose up. I saw Edward dismount, and grab the tall Sahr by the throat. This is not good. I thought. 

When the sahr broke free of the king's grip, he pulled a stone and used it against Edward. A yellow light hissed out of the magical jewel and pierced the titan like an arrow through the heart. Edward froze in his stature, sword in his hand. The Sahr swirled his blade, beheading the king. And before anyone could do anything or realize what was happening, the Sahr emissary held King Edward's head and tossed it in the air towards his army. He then rod back to the flank, leaving behind him a leaderless and confused army of Valkai.

Both middle flanks that fought each other froze in bafflement. "The king is dead!" You heard them cry. "The Titan has fallen!" 

What have you done you fool? I thought. 

"Indeed. We are not kindred anymore Grigori. I did not father a turncloak. You brought ruin upon you." King Reynar looked at me, thrilled with war fever, he mounted his mar and cried as loud as he could. 

"Valkai of the south! Follow me! Follow me to justice! Death comes tomorrow!"  

I remember rushing back to the right flank on Grigori's mar. The soldier I left in charge was puzzled. 

"What have you done?" I asked the tall Sahr. 

"I just put an end to this war." He replied confidently.

"Is that what you think?" I felt anger eating me inside. "You fool! You didn't end anything! You made it worse for Sahr to walk away from this tangled ground. Tell me how are you going to deal with his soldiers?" 

"We will slaughter every single one of them if they dare fight us!" He answered. 

When Reynar joined his middle flank along with the rest of his army, Edward's Valkai fell back and withdrew. He then rode alone and confidently towards them.

"Valkai! Hold your grounds! Stand!" He yelled at them, passing by Edward's lifeless body. "I am not your enemy! Why should we be fighting each other? If it is my kingdom you want you can take it! For years we have shared this good earth and we can keep doing so! In peace! Your king is dead! And he wasn't killed by a Valkai!" He turned, looking for me, his son. His eyes locked on me and I felt his sadness. He pulled his long axe and pointed at where I stood. "They did! Sahr murdered him! Now you decide on who your enemy is! Will you fight for land or fight for vengeance!?" 

Edward's army who were falling back in fright and despair, gathered once more, confident and angry. 

"Ride with me and avenge the fallen Titan! And above all else, avenge our kin!" He cried and many answered his call. 

I remember feeling frightened and for once in a long time I feared for my life, and it thrilled me.

"My prince! What should we do?" The young sahr asked me. They all reeked of fear. They're still not aware they're stronger. They're not aware they already won this battle.

I remember feeling oddly satisfied and alive, I spread my arms and cried "YOU CAN STAY WHERE YOU ARE! YOU CAN KEEP HIDING FROM ME! JUST REMEMBER! I WILL BE RULING OVER YOUR SHEEP AND BE THEIR GOD!" I laughed hysterically. "WE WILL SLAUGHTER YOUR VALKAI! WE WILL BRING THEM BACK TO THE SOIL AND FEED THE EARTH WITH THEIR FLESH! I WILL COME FOR YOU ONE DAY!" 

Reynar's army assembled behind him like a great wave guided by sheer force. 

"SAHR! BEHIND ME! FORM RANKS!" I yelled. "You! Give me your names!" I ordered the two sahr I talked to earlier. 

"My prince are you alright?" The young one asked. 

"I have never been better! I am not Grigori!" I shapeshifted into my Veer form. "I am Doom!"

The young wizard fell in fright unlike the tall one who advanced towards me. 

"You are like Erving! Where is the prince? What have you done to him?" He inquired. 

"So it was Erving who taught you falak. I'm glad that merchant of cheap dreams is not out of business." I spread my wings and I saw my shadow covering the tall Sahr. "I am Mahavhar and I will take you to glory. You still haven't given me your name."

"I am Salem. You still didn't answer my question, what have you done to Grigori?" He asked once more.

"I killed him. Now is not the time for storytelling . If you survive this battle, I can tell you about your prince and more." I said.

He looked at me in disbelief and confusion. The other soldier was still laying on the ground and shaking in fear. Salem grab the other Sahr and shook him by the shoulders. "Get a hold of yourself Sheshonq. First we survive this, then we deal with him."

"Are you done whimpering? They are coming!" I yelled at them.

"FORM RANKS!" Ordered Sheshonq.

"Shields! And brace yourselves!" added Salem. 

The Sahr grabbed their stones in one hand, each one of them chanted their own spells, different coloured shields appeared in front of every one of them. On their other hands they held their weapons tightly. Waiting for their leaders commands. 

"Raise the red flag! ADVANCE!" I yelled and flew above them.

Sheshonq did as I ordered, the left flank answered the call. And from the skies I saw them march to meet Reynar and his thousands warriors. They were surrounded by all kind of colours rising from the wizards' stones. It was a beautiful sight, the kind of beauty you hate to see, for you know it can't be right. Never did death look so mesmerizing. 

I know you're watching and I know you only used me to reach this, but I am not mad at you. Not this time. On the contrary, I am grateful. God, you gave me a purpose after all and now my desire of seeing you is stronger than ever.

When the troops met each others, they merged into a chaotic flow. It sounded like irony waterfalls. I saw many Valkai fall instantly, but so did many Sahr. The wizards were vulnerable in close ranged combat.

Their shields were strong but the Valkai's steel was strangely stronger, or was it their grudge? I couldn't tell.

The left flank was doing better at first, and the battle I thought was easily won took another turn. 

They're strong as well. So far, they're even. This is not right. I thought. I have to do something. I flew above the troops and looked for Reynar desperately. If I take the king's life, things might be easier.

It was then, when I decided to kill Reynar that I heard that voice. A voice inside of me.

"Why are you doing this?" The voice asked me. "Are you enjoying this slaughtering? This bloodshed is fruitless. You're breeding hatred and violence in every single soul beneath you, and you know God will not interfere with this. Even if they kill each other to the very last, even when no soul remains on earth, the Deity will only make stronger beings and curse you again for your deed. Are you willing to pay once again? Are you ready to go through the same meaningless life?" 

"Who are you?" I remember looking around me. Searching for whoever was talking. My wings started to shake and so did my hands. The voice sounded familiar. I am scared. Because I somehow knew I was looking for nobody. 

"I am you. I am everyone. I am the trees. I am the soil and the wind. I am everything for I am you and everything you see is you. I am you and everything you do is what makes me. And you already know that." The voice echoed in my head, it seemed like it covered everything around and inside me. 

I held my head and felt dizzy. The voice was deafening. "Am I going mad? Stop this. Shut up." 

"You know this is wrong. End this. You are not a tyrant." The voice insisted.

"ENOUGH!!!!!!!" I screamed so hard that the battle underneath me halted. "Shut up!"

"Make it right." The voice said, louder this time.

"Shut up! Please! Enough" I begged. 

"End this or I will haunt your thoughts forever. You know it. You will never know peace if you don't give them theirs. You are not evil, you never were and never will be. You know it... I am not. I am not evil. I should end this." The voice soon became recognizable. I am not evil. 

When I snapped out of my inner conflict, I was still shaking and flailing around. I was tired. 

"What have I done? How did it come to this?" I felt sad. "Marid." And angry. "He started this." With what was left of the strength I had, I flew higher in the skies, quivering my wings. "And I shall end it and make it right!" I dived rapidly and vigorously. I landed aggressively in the battlefield, right between King Reynar and Salem, who were charging at each other. The flapping of my wings drove them away and all who were slightly close to me, with their arms protecting their eyes from the flying sand. 

"It's over." I said firmly. "There will be no more of this. This war end now."

Zion, the world's infamous necromancer, armed with the great stone of Umbar, one of the jewels of Mahavhar, he leads the biggest and strongest army the world has ever seen, in order to dominate all the races upon earth.
"Do not give in to fear my friends, death should not scare you, nor sadden you, you should feel sorry for those who will carry on living a dishonourable  life. You are not vain. You are honourable warriors. You are the pride of Brymhel." Dufrig's voice was deep and rusty. The old giant raised his sword high to investigate it and smiled.

Dagon walks down the long corridor leading to the special branch of the black fortress. This branch houses the dark Scions and he intended to find out who the strongest among them are. He arrives at a large door made of black iron with ebony details.  Dagon pushes open the door easily moving it to see the dark scions doing absolutely nothing in the giant "room". The scions look over to see who had entered their domain.


"Get up you lazy creatures you have 20 minutes to be ready and at the arena don't make me wait." Dagon says with a tone that causes them to immediately scramble to get ready (take a white person and give him Christopher Judge's voice) seeing their reaction he walks off to go to the arena. He notices a throne on the opposite side of the arena. This throne was opposite to Salem's throne he walks over to see Ragnarok the harbinger carved into the black cross on the back of the throne. He steps in front of it and looks at the lions head arm rests. The entire throne is made of a black metal similar to iron but different. He runs his hand over it and wonders why Salem ordered this to be created. Who speaking of which was standing not far away whatching him with a pleased look. Dagon looks at her and says "why did you have a throne created for me?" Salem blushes slightly and looks down "no one ever rewarded your efforts as a hero and honestly I just wanted to give you a gift." Dagon looks at her and removes his helmet to show his handsome features with a long scar over his left eye down to the gum line on his bottom jaw. 


"Thank you Salem really. You always did think about me." Dagon says and looks over as a rift opens and Zero steps through "when did you leave" Zero looks at him and tosses a white ring with a ice blue flame on it. Dagon looks down in shock "Zero I'm not going to ask but I will say thank you how you found my armor and weapons I don't know but I'm glad you did anyway the dark Scions should be arriving any minute now will you 2 stay to watch" Salem nods with a happy smile on her face. Zero nods still wearing that mask of his and says "why not it should be amusing." as if on cue the scions arrive in a huge number to see him Salem and Zero standing there. And upon seeing the demon king they drop to one knee and bow "stand Ragnarok has a plan for you all he will explain pretend I am not here" she teleports to her throne and sees a small box and opens it. It holds a ring identical to Dagon's except the ice blue on his is a darker blue with a small green tint to it. With it is a note saying "I always held on to this I made an identicle set of armor to mine but it is made to fit your body the ring is the summoning item just pour your holy magic into it." she smiles and puts the smaller ring on her finger her heart radiating happiness. She sits down and crosses her legs and almost immediately 2 of the other generals appear by her throne. Dagon looks down at the Scions "Alright you lazy slugs you are here to fight in matches against each other to determine who the strongest among you are those that win will be commanders in the new elite infantry or assassin regiments these positions will be given to the top 10 warriors in your ranks the next 100 of you will be the only ones to be in these new regiments there are 300 of you so only 110 will be chosen through one on one fights BEGIN THE FIRST MATCH" two scions step forward and stand in the dark sand and the fights begin.

The matches conclude with disappointing results with all of them being incompetent fighters and sluggish assassins. Dagon stands and says "All of you did horrible if you expect to get away with not training as a Nightingale assassin or a Nightfire soldier then you are wrong you know who the strongest among you are and the next 100 will divide into 50 each 10 soldiers or assassins to each five commanders in the Nightingale or Nightfire the 50 Nightingale will be given the standard uniform and equipment 4 of the Nightingale commanders will be given Pheonix Nightingale uniforms and the strongest will be given the Black Nightingale uniform the 50 Nightfire soldiers will be given Nightfire footsoldier armor 4 of the commanders will be given Nightfire Centurian armor and the strongest will be given the Nightfire Praetorian armor the new branches will begin construction soon now get out of my sight and begin training until you are physically unable." the Nightfire Nightingale and scions all bow and forming their own groups leave the arena. Dagon sighs in disappointment and says "how can they be called elite when they did that badly." Zero looks at him and says "your standards are too high by normal standards they would have easily crushed Angales's White Paladins who train brutally every day" Dagon sighs again realizing Zero is right he was expecting too much from them. Still for them to be that weak honestly he was expecting better but not much better than they did which disappointed him but that could always be changed. Salem had left to begin construction of the Nightfire and Nightingale branches of the castle. Dagon has already worked out the guardians of the 2 new regiments for the Nightfire legion it will be Nightfire giants for the Nightingale it will be Shades both are near impossible to beat "Zero are preparations finished" Zero nods 
"to the Void then"

***COVER IS NOT MINE IM PRETTY SURE IT'S A DARK SOULS ARMOR*** 

Dagon (daygun) was once the hero of his world he threw everything into protecting it and nearly lost his life in the process and as payment the Kings called him a criminal now he has no home to return too and is left starving so turns to the very being he faught to protect his world...

The demon king

(it is a woman but you know it's a traditional title so it isn't flexible to gender like demon queen)

They went through the video and asked a handful of question. "What are those numbers above everyone's head? What is that vial? What's that pill? What's the pen? Who is Kaku? What did you have him do? What did you show those men that scared them so badly? Where did you get those cuffs? What are they made from? etcetera, etcetera..."

I answered honestly except for the numbers, for that I told them it was about their future. Not a lie but not the full truth. When dinner hit, everyone complained about being hungry so I snapped and had a feast spread on the table, "Sorry for taking up your time with my foul mood. Please eat your fill, I have more than enough."

I sipped tea as they ate before a woman questioned, "Why arent you eating?"

"Because I'm mourning," I said and sipped my tea, "I havent eaten all week and dont plan to for the next week."

"Wont you fall sick from that," she asked sadly. 

"No. My regeneration keeps me from falling sick," I said. 

"Who did you lose," she asked quietly. 

"My spouse... it's been a very long time since they died so dont feel bad," I sighed, "May I go home?"

"Of course. Do you want someone to drive you," she asked. 

"No, I'll just teleport," I said and did. Landing at my door step, I found everything sparkling clean. Glancing at the roof, I found Kaku falling down. As he landed, he presented me with a report before disappearing. I read through it quickly and nodded, "Good job Kaku."

Sitting on the porch with the trio, I made a bunch of clones and growled, "Drink."

And they did. We silently drank bottle after bottle before I grabbed a guitar and teleported to the willow tree. A bottle in my tail as I sang and played guitar. My anger rising before I tore the thing apart and went to the ground. Standing a meter from the grave, I laid flowers out and poured a glass of tea rum, "I bet you would see me as little more than a monster... I saved some kids today... and the souls of men who were heading down the wrong path... It was the sort of thing you would have done... I wanted to kill them all... every single person there... but its not what you would do... Do I even deserve the kindness of others? Will my blood soaked hands ever be accepted?"

Feeling someone come closer I sighed and waved a hand, making an ice piano. As I sat and downed another bottle, I angrily threw it at the now group of approaching people. I began to play No Time To Die By Billy Eilish, "I should've known
I'd leave alone
Just goes to show
That the blood you bleed
Is just the blood you owe

We were a pair
But I saw you there
Too much to bear
You were my life
But life is far away from fair

Was I stupid to love you?
Was I reckless to help?
Was it obvious to everybody else

That I'd fallen for a lie?
You were never on my side
Fool me once, fool me twice
Are you death or paradise?
Now you'll never see me cry
There's just no time to die

I let it burn
You're no longer my concern
Faces from my past return
Another lesson yet to learn

That I'd fallen for a lie
You were never on my side
Fool me once, fool me twice
Are you death or paradise?
Now you'll never see me cry
There's just no time to die

No time to die
No time to die

Fool me once, fool me twice
Are you death or paradise?
Now you'll never see me cry

There's just no time to die..."

"Luc...," Ken said sadly. 

"Fuck off or die," I growled and downed another bottle. 

"...You cant kill us," Balthazar said and tossed a bottle to me, "Your songs suck if we cant hear other instruments."

I froze before grinning sadistically, "Drown By Bring Me The Horizon."

As we played and I sang, I criticized them until our clones started dieing from alcohol overdoses. The rush hit and we fell on our asses before I stood, "Ah fuck... WHO GOTS MY CAPE?!"

Something hit my face and I fought with it before lifting it up, "I WIN!"

"Pft! Hahahaha," they laughed and stood as well before stripping to their boxers and putting capes on. 

Salem shouting, "No pants party!"

Taking everything but my boxers off, I placed my cape around my neck and angrily played the piano, "Dis one go outta da Ice King!"

Salem curiously watched from on top of the piano while Balthazar and Ken took their guitar and drums and prepared. I grinned maliciously, standing while playing the piano and yelling the lyrics angrily, "Dun-du-du-du-du-dun-dun

Makin' your way in the world today
Takes EVERYTHING YOU'VE GOT!
TAKIN' A BREAK FROM ALL YOUR WORRIES
SURE WOULD HELP A LOT!
WOULDN'T IT BE NICE TO GET AWAY

Where everybody knows your name?
Where everybody..."

As I ended the song, they looked at me oddly. I huffed, "Fine! Fine! Nuts then Marceline from Adventure Time."

We sang and more cloned were made and died periodically. My rage growing so Ken, Bakthazar, and Salem put a concert on for me. All adventure time songs until the sun started to peak out of the clouds and we all loudly scream sang Bacon Pancakes. 

We then sealed ourselves to 1% power and started brawling before Lucci tried to break it up. I grabbed his throat and got in his face, "Wha?! Whacha wan?!"

"...to fix your capes and give you drinks. Also Khalifa wishes to know if you want to watch the movies now," he said calmly. 

I let go of him, "Oh... Surry. Yup."

He nodded and gently fixed my cape as I watched him, "Luci... Imma bite chu, Kay?"

He froze and nodded slightly. I pulled his body on mine and roughly bit his neck before letting go, "Yup. Yew wassa real'n. Delicious... Bite chu morr later."

As I turned, I ran into Ken on Salems shoulders. I went wide eyes, "Nat even invited me?! Bas-erds!"

Spoke too soon. Balthazar easily lifted me then froze, "Heeeeyyyy! Luc dunnit weight a feather!"

I punched his head, "Oiii! I do not! Dem feathers er twice me!"

They looked at me before tossing me to eachother. Ken nodded, "Gots a teach me how do that!"

Salem smirked, "I know! I know! Never eat! Binge drink! Smoke a pipe!"

Bakthazar scoffed, "Yews callin me fat?!"

"Yes," I shouted. 

They looked at me deadpanned before yelling, "Shuddap twig!"

"Yew shuddap," I yelled angrily, "Imma fat too!"

"Eh?!" they yelled. 

"I use ta be half dis. Now lookit me...," I huffed, "Unloveable..."

"Shuddap! Yew gots Sakagoku and Senzuki," Salem growled.

We laughed and I rolled on the ground, "Sengoku dont do dat. Him juss a frand."

"Damn do da tiger go," Ken said and licked his lips, "Ugh... wait so long, why?"

"Per-pare," I said and smirked, "Imagine it. They wake and we gots bow ties."

"Boo!" they declined.

"Big ass bow," I question. 

"BOO!" the declined. 

"Neked!" I declared. 

"BOO!!!" they yelled louder. 

"...Fuck yew too.... PAJAMAS!" I yelled. 

"YEAH!" the yelled back. 

"Okay... Okay... wait... we cannot match," I said, "Whatchu gonna do?"

"Black cat jamas!" they yelled. 

I smirked, "Birthday suit heh."

"...the movie is ready," Khalifa called from the door, "Cocoa and s'mores will be done soon."

We bolted to the door and I sat in my spot before Lucci handed me my coconut, "Your drink master."

I waved him closer. He leaned closer, assuming I was going to whisper something. Instead, I bit him and took some blood, "Delish~"

He smiled faintly and moved behind my seat before the trio started arguing. 

Ken, "Hey! Yew got his lap las time!"

Salem, "I never gotta!"

Balthazar, "But I wanna lap!"

They yelled together, "Luficer! Who getta lay deir head inner lap?!"

I scooted to the middle of the couch, "I gots two legs an sum abs. Careful. I wanna bite people."

Salem shivered and sat in my lap, "Yew can chew on ma ear."

I immediately bite his ear and purred, "Na as good as Lucci blood but it do."

Salem growled, "Lucci! Put cher blood on ma ear."

"...no," Lucci said and sighed, "Only master Lucifer may have my blood."

Ken frowned, "We see bout dat."

"No s'mores or cocoa if you dont listen to Lucci," Khalifa called as she brought cheese covered s'mores and whipped cocoa, "Cheese sticks are being covered in chocolate. Nachos will have carmel, sea salt, five cheese, and peppers. Mango frozen margaritas are nearly done."

"Thank yew," we called out as Ken laid on my left and Balthazar on my right. 

I leaned my head back and sighed, "Lucci~"

He came closer and leaned over my face, "Yes master?"

"Gimme yer neck," I said and opened my mouth.

He chuckled, "Of course."

Roughly biting his neck, more blood dripped into my mouth. It was an addictive killer feline taste. As I was slowly drinking his blood, Salem yelped and jumped off of me. Ken and Balthazar laughed. Ken speaking, "Das why we donut sit in Luc lap."

I let go of Lucci and grabbed his throat with my hand before trying to feed him a blood pill. Too shakey, I swallowed the blood and put the pill in my mouth before making him kiss me. I pushed my tongue in his mouth and made him take the pill before letting go. Sitting up, I put a pillow in my lap and pat it, "Salem, sit da fuck down or imma bite it off!"

Salem quickly sat down and gave me his ear again. Roughly chewing his ear, Khalifa brought the food in and started the movie. It was recordings of Ryu that were secretly caught by the Lucifer fan club as per an anonymous request... Okay, I did it.

While they ate, I chewed on an ear and watched before frowning and laying my head back. Opening my mouth without speaking, Lucci stepped directly behind me and gave me his wrist, "Itll be easier to get blood this way master and you can watch your movie."

I clicked my tongue, "Jackass..."

Lucci sighed, "Very well."

He gave me his throat. As I bit into his neck, my fingers grabbed his hair and pulled him closer. He made a quiet groan so I stopped and swallowed most of the blood before putting a pill on my tongue. Forcing both pill and blood into his mouth, when I let go of him he quietly spoke, "I'll be back in a minute master."

I waved him off before licking the blood off my lips. Getting curious, I roughly moved Salems head and bit into his neck. He froze up and smacked Ken and Balthazar, "I think... we gotta vampire inna house..."

Ken glanced up, "Yup."

Balthazar snuggled closer, "We do."

"Help me," Salem growled quietly. 

"Nah," they said. 

"Master," Khalifa said and put a new coconut near my face, "Lucci blood. Its fresh. He apologizes for needing a minute."

I let go of Salem, "Like blood of thousands... Odd... Thanks Khali."

Slowly sipped my bloody coconut, the movie played on. Getting close to the end, Lucci came in and spoke, "Master, do you want the next movie now or later?"

I grumbled, "No. Lemme bite yew."

Salem got up, "Gonna see bout some fishies."

Ken and Balthazar sat up before sighing and following him. Hearing the door open slowly, I waved Lucci over. Once he was within grabbing range, I grabbed his throat and pulled him into my lap. His chest on mine, his knees on the couch as I bit into his neck. His fingers pulled my hair, "Master... this is highly inappropriate..."

I stopped biting, "Shuddap."

He fell silent and stopped moving as I continued drinking his blood. After a minute I let go of him entirely and purred, "Whacha doin ata door?"

Lucci weakly and shakily stood up so I grabbed his hand and placed pills in them. The one at the door quietly asked, "Why did you bite him?"

Hearing the new voice, Ken pulled them in and locked the door, "We gottsa loose vampire. Keep da door close!"
