- Death -
(Centuries ago)
Death was pacing around the office holding his echo.
"Answer the call. Answer the call." He repeated, gripping his echo tightly.
No sound came from the echo and Death had to resist the urge to spike the orb into the ground.
"Answer!" Death shouted.
Death, placed his echo into its holder and sat down, putting his face in his hands.
"Why?!"
Zach walked into the room. He had been waiting outside, hoping that Death would get an answer.
"No response?" Zach asked.
Death slammed his hands onto his desk, knocking the echo holder over, and cracking the wood beneath his hands.
Zach flinched.
"You can go visit Amakell. We'll be fine here." He said shakily.
Death placed the holder upright and put the
- Death -Death ripped through the lycan territory like a tornado. His scythe tore through house after house and every lycan foolish enough to fight him was swiftly killed. He was crossing through the woods, ready to attack another town when he heard a mocking voice from the trees."You really think this act of wrath won't have consequences? I hope you got used to seeing human corpses, because now Amaterasu is on her way to Purgatory." It was Amakell.Death didn't answer. He simply reared back his scythe, and cut down every tree around him.As he did that dozens of lycans rushed to him in their wolf forms, while some stayed back preparing their magic.Death's mind had now become one, quiet thought.'Hunt.'Death swung his scythe around him while jumping over the encroaching attackers. He cut any that were close to hi
(Back to the present)- Death -Death and Fensyr decided to discuss the situation in Fensyr's home. The two sat at a barely lit table."I explicitly warned Amaterasu not to interfere with your kind anymore. Do you have any idea why Fenrir stopped supporting you?"Fensyr was scratching at the wood of the table, digging deeper and deeper marks as he thought."You know Fenrir better than I do. Why do you think?"Death was looking at the growing damage of the wood beneath Fensyr's hand.'I know the centuries haven't been kind to you. Those of your kind that remember what you did respect you, but the others only view you as a coward.'"Fenrir doesn't have an echo. I setup messengers that would relay his support of your leadership, but I guess he hasn't bothered to tell them anything.""Maybe the messen
- Lucifer -The group decided to make camp outside of one of the towns. Lucifer was adamant about not having Elijah go through Sol at night."I guess this is a good place to teach you about various bloodline magics." Lucifer said to Elijah.Elijah was reading the guide. He was on the section titled "Bloodline Magics of the World" and was going down the list."Angels have wings. Demons have their deals. Lycans can transform into wolves, gaining bonus strength along with sharper fangs and claws." Elijah was listing off as he read."I misspoke. I meant teach you about their weaknesses. I'm sure you've already read about them, but what matters is knowing how to combat them, if possible." Lucifer paused while Elijah closed the guide."Any magic that materializes something uses more mana if the user is constantly summoning and "returning" the created thing. I didn'
- Death and Lucifer -Lucifer finished talking with the vessel. He thanked him for the information and flew back to Death.Death was standing by the camp holding his scythe to his side. Lucifer landed near him."You can put your weapon away. It's not a threat. The effect on Elijah was accidental."Death returned his scythe and made a deep sigh."I wish the eldritch had a more tolerable ability."Death had dealt with many cases of humans being affected by frenzy in the past. Most of them were accidental.'I hope Elijah is okay. The first time someone experiences frenzy can determine how well they deal with it later on.' He worried.Lucifer called Mira over."I have a rough idea of where Cytus is. He's in Vázoluna."Mira gritted her teeth."Those dogs
- Lucifer and Mira -Lucifer was running possibilities through his mind as he and Mira closed in on Vázoluna's border.'You hate me, which means you joined because of me, but why? I won't delude myself into thinking it's so you can reconcile. Did Michael force you?...No. If this is any kind of sabotage on his part he would've sent someone stronger and/or less obvious.'Lucifer's face did not give away his thoughts. As far as Mira could tell he was none the wiser about her motives.'Jonathan. Melinda. Pheriel. So many others you took from us.'Mira, unlike Lucifer, struggled to keep her thoughts from affecting her expression. Lucifer's neutral look angered her. She thought calling him a fallen would have gotten a rise out of him.'Do you truly feel nothing for yourself and angels? Are the lessers the only way to draw out your anger?'
- Lucifer and Mira -Lucifer was highly suspicious of Mira. He never allowed his hands to stay closed while flying near her. He made sure his back was never towards her. All of these little safeties were slowly increasing Lucifer's anger.'I shouldn't have to watch my back like this. I hope I'm wrong. That I've misread all of this, but I know too well what angels like you think of me.'Mira was cautious to not get too close to Cytus's location. If she hadn't been trying so hard to be mindful of flying near it, she would have noticed Lucifer's hands.Maybe it was his new anger caused by his suspicion, or maybe it was old wounds being reopened, but Lucifer decided to try and get a rise out of Mira."I know you're not very familiar with this area, so I'm sure you missed something."This comment snapped Mira out of her careful mindset."Excus
- Mira -Mira passed out soon after being healed. Her blood loss had been so severe that getting her body to a stable state took a large chunk of her mana. She would normally be fine, but all the flying she had been doing prior reduced her mana reserves to a point that after the healing she was almost fully depleted.She woke up at night by the supply cart, unsure of how long she had been out. Her outfit had been ruined by the blood. Yvere changed her clothes when she was asleep, giving her a black shirt and black pants."Sorry about the size." Yvere was sorting through a crate.The clothes were a little tight on Mira but her mind was elsewhere."Huh? It's fine. Thank you."Mira didn't feel secure simply because she had been spared. Death and Lucifer would be watching her, and any movements she made against them would surely get her killed on the spot. She tu
- Peter -Peter was training his fire magic when Lucifer came up to him."I want you to have a practice match with Mira. Swords only.""Sure. Any particular reason, or?"Peter was making a flame travel along his arm while speaking to Lucifer."Careful with your mana." Lucifer said, his eyes following the flame."I made the mistake once, thinkin' things might be peaceful, I won't do it again. I have my hands and hair as permanent reminders."Lucifer looked upset at the statement."Back to Mira. She wants a sword for when she walks back to Heaven. My first instinct was to tell her to fuck off, but I thought a duel with you might yield a better reaction."Peter removed the flame."I'm not sure how I feel practicin' swords against someone who has one hand."Lu
