- Death and Mira -
Death and Mira arrived at the walls that surrounded a large gothic castle. They were greeted by three guards in black cloaks.
"Queen Gwyn and King Lucius are waiting for you in the meeting hall sir."
Death got off his uništi and handed the reins to the guard.
"If anyone steals him I'll be holding all of you responsible." Death said, walking through the doors of the wall and into the castle with Mira, who was glaring at the guards.
"I know you aren't fond of their kind, but giving them dirty looks won't accomplish anything." Death said to Mira.
Mira ignored Death. She couldn't stand the vampires. The only reason she didn't give the same glare to Yvere was because of Lucifer. Death didn't tolerate racism, but Lucifer was the type to threaten if his team was treated poorly. She thought back to a story she had heard of Lucifer slamming M
- Death -Gwyn shot icicles at Death like a machinegun while Lucius started spreading flames on the ground. Death spun his scythe to block the icicles and swung the scythe around his feet putting out the flames.The vampire rulers had Death pinned in a cycle of defense. Death decided to stand in the fire and throw his scythe at Gwyn. The scythe connected with Gwyn's face knocking her over. He took the opportunity and blinked, reappearing in front of Lucius.Lucius created a barrier of flame around him to stop Death, but it didn't work. Death grabbed Lucius' head through the barrier and pulled it down while kneeing, throwing the king backwards.Death dematerialized his scythe and recreated it in his right hand. Gwyn stood up, wiped the blood from her nose, and created a staff of ice with water circling around it. Lucius stood up and shook his head. He wiped the blood from his face and created multiple
- Lucifer -Lucifer and Elijah were standing next to the training ground as it was being repaired, with Lucifer giving Elijah instructions on how to properly cover his hands in mana."Picture your mana like it's a tub of water in front of you. Imagine yourself putting your hands into the tub and the water staying on them like gloves."Lucifer covered his hands in fire briefly and showed the absence of damage to Elijah."You won't be immune to damage, but any added defense is a good thing.Elijah pictured what Lucifer was saying. He covered his hands in mana and proceeded to try and shock himself."Mmph!" Elijah shocked himself and tried to hold his yell in."This takes times. It's one of the fundamentals of lightning magic. Learning this first makes everything else easier."Lucifer knew how dangerous lightning magic c
- Lucifer and Elijah -(After the match with Death)Everyone else had left to train in different parts of the castle while Lucifer stayed behind with Elijah.Lucifer was sitting down in a chair. His left arm was placed on a table, being healed by one of the castle's healer while talking to Elijah about the neutral zone they were heading to.Neutral zones are small pieces of territory unclaimed by its neighbors that exist either as a means of separation from two races that don't want to border one another, or as an eternal battlefield."It should be peaceful there." Lucifer said."You really need to stop using the words should and peaceful together." Elijah joked, while looking away from Lucifer.The healer was fixing a compound fracture in Lucifer's arm."I know I shouldn't invite dramatic irony, but I don't want to l
- 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
- 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
- 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
