The First Neutral Zone
- Death -
Death was riding in front of the group as usual. He was wary of the neutral zones. The one between Sangmara and the Lycan territory of Vázoluna was considered to be the most peaceful, but that fact made Death more conscious of potential threats.
This neutral zone was a wasteland. The only things around were the remnants of former battles. The zone was clearly still seeing some form of conflict. That or gods were using it as a practice ground for their magic.
'I don't care how peaceful I'm told this place is, I'm not letting it lull me into a false sense of security.'
Sure enough, as though the universe heard Death's thoughts, a gigantic stone wall appeared in front of him.
The uništi were stopped and Death jumped off Hrom and conjured his scythe. He wasn't waiting for the enemy to attack. He pulled his scythe back and swung it towards the wall, cutting it

- Death -Death was trying to relax his mood before coming to the lycan's border.'I don't want to make a tense atmosphere worse, but seriously Vishnu? I call you to warn about an enemy and you take that as "I should ambush him so we can have a practice match", seriously?'Death was taking slow breaths, trying to push the frustrating thoughts out. He looked down at Hrom and thought about Lucius.'You care about me, even though you have your own kingdom to rule, and meanwhile Shiva has the nerve to-'Death took a quick breath in-and-out.'Let it go. There's actual problems to deal with. You're too busy for this. Persephone's cooking. Ra's beer. Tera's singing.'Death closed his eyes for a moment. He felt his composure come back to him.The border checkpoint for Vázoluna was in sight. It was a large stone wall co
The Reaper and The Devil Vázoluna (2)
- Death and Lucifer -The group arrived in the main town of Vázoluna. It was a collection of dark wood buildings, some of which were built into the surrounding trees. The roads were dirt and there were bridges high above the ground connecting various treetop houses with one another. There was actual sunlight coming through, but the area was still darker than normal.Death had been thinking about what to say to the leader of the area.'I just want to get through here as fast as possible. I'm sure the sooner we leave the happier everyone will be.'As the group got further into the town they started getting more and more looks from the various lycans in the area. Lucifer was in the back, keeping his eyes forward, trying not to make eye contact with any of the onlookers. He walked up to the front to ask Death a question."Should we just move through without greeting the leader

- 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
The Reaper and The Devil Death and the Lycans (2)
- 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
The Reaper and The Devil Death and Fensyr
(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
The Reaper and The Devil A Maddening Presence (1)
- 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
The Reaper and The Devil Lucifer and Mira (1)
- 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?'
