Virgil didn't hesitate, moving his hand forward and picking Kane up, bringing him up to his face and looking at him with his red eyes trying to figure out who he was or even what he was doing. He looked at the man as he snarled, sniffing him and seeing if he was a familiar person. Virgil looked at him, tightening his hand still before he crushed the man in front of him with his hand even though it'd do nothing to a spirit, charging forward and opening his jaws wide looking at Nymphia like a hungry piece of meat, having forgotten who he was now that the bracelet was off of him. He let out of screech having only the scent of blood in his home; the scent of Nymphia's wounds. Virgil continued his advance, grinning from his demon form as he looked at Nymphia, looking at her into her eyes before he stopped. He saw himself back when he was nineteen in the anti-terrorist task force.

"The information for this mission is limited but we'll have to make dues." Minister of terrorism and espionage Exillion Lannister spoke out to the anti-terrorism task force's special operations unit composed of himself as the commander, Virgil as the combative unit and sharpshooter, Jonathan Lannister as the medic, an elven refugee who specialized in stealth and a ghoul that specialized in escape and cover. "We have a village, well town, that has been invaded by some mages that had came from the wastes of the west. They've been surrounded by Spanish military but they called us in to sweep up this mess since they're sick of dealing with this hostage situation."

"So how free is my arms?" Virgil asked while wiping his rifle down.

"Free. Hostages can be killed too if necessary; we left the rescue mission stage about a week ago. For now, our job is to contain the threat and that's it." Exillion spoke out with his hands behind his back before looking over at Virgil. "Get your suit on, we have about a half an hour."

"Sir yes sir." Virgil mumbled out before going to the bathroom of the stealth airship and digging into ballistic vest and pulling out his locket and watching as a dimebag full of a white powder fell put and landed on his hand. He held the bag up and looked at the powder before putting the toilet seat down and pouring every bit of the contents of the bag out onto the seat. Virgil pulled out his tactical knife, straightening the powder into one line before he snorted it all in one go, falling back and gritting his teeth hard as he felt it hit his brain. He put his free hand on his head, holding it as he put his knife away before wiping the lid of the toilet seat and putting it up, throwing the dime bag in and flushing it before washing his hands and running his hands through his buzzed down hair. "Show time." Virgil said as he looked at himself in the mirror, turning after down a corridor in the aircraft and entering a room that had his armor suspended in air, waiting for it's user to go in. He walked over to it, putting himself in the stasis chamber and leaning his head back as needles came out from the inner lining of the suit and connecting itself to his body before the exosuit closed over his skin, sealing Virgil from all outside elements as the suit began to pump air through its filtration system. He exited the holding room for his suit, walking down the corridor and into the bay of the ship; grabbing a parachute and his rifle like the rest of his unit and walking to the front of the hatch. He turned his head, looking back and holding up his thumb as it opened before he jumped out into the pitch black darkness of the sky, having his HUD adapt to the light of the outside as they all went down, continuing to fly for some time.

"Pull strings, land softly." Exillion ordered through the communications in their helmets before pulling his parachute string, slowing his descent greatly as the special operations anti-terrorism unit landed.

Virgil was the first to land, quickly taking his parachute off and putting his hand on his rifle in a resting position, perching himself to the top of a mound slightly outside the town that overlooked most of it, looking over it before he retracted the visor of his exosuit, placing the scope up to his eye and looking through the scope for hostiles before seeing a little girl walk outside of her home holding a doll and holding a bucket of water. He felt his heart sink, looking to the side and quickly moving his scope as if he pretended not to see her.

"Virgil, we don't know if that's a hostile or not; kill it." Exillion spoke through the communications system.

"Commander, she's just-"

"A possible hostile Virgil. These mage-men could have taken over their minds; don't doubt their cunning. Now, I would hate to make you do something you'd regret Virgil, but don't make us think you've been taken over either. You were trained for this."

Virgil breathed in, looking down before holding his rifle up, looking at the girl again who was holding now a full bucket of water before she looked at Virgil suddenly, showing her big blue eyes and innocent smile. Without a second look Virgil pulled the trigger, looking away after the bullet shot out through the silenced rifle and puking out, silencing his microphone and having tears stream down his eyes as Exillion spoke 'confirmed kill' out. He bit his lip to prevent himself screaming, telling himself it was him or her even as deep in his heart he knew he had just murdered an innocent little girl, feeling a bit of himself go with her as he stared out to the sky only to be yelled at through the communications system once more to kill again.

---------------

Virgil looked at Nymphia, seeing the fear in her eyes and looking at her as he felt his heart burn a bit and the fur on him turn white a bit as he hesitated. He stepped back and placed his hands over his eyes, howling as he cried out in pain, trying to fight back against the animal inside of him. He let his claws out, scratching across his chest and ripping out not only fur but chunks of flesh as he tried to get a grip, howling in pain before Illya ran, seeing an opportunity to kill Nymphia before looking back at her father, running back to the bracelet that was used to keep Virgil in control of himself.

"Duce, do not let the boy fail!" Odin called out to Duce's head, seeing the interference from Kane's spirit being a problem. "You have to kill him; you and the girl are both spirits. My child, you understand the glory we all will hold if we get that soul, don't you?" Odin asked, keeping his voice calm but feeling slight panic. "Stop that child from ruining this opportunity!"

Kane huffed out a bit as he got picked up. Not that gently. He could not even say a word before Virgil began to try and squeeze his lungs out. Before he could hear his bones crack he turned into his spirit form, Virgil's hand going straight through him then, before he landed on his feet on the ground. This was going to be harder then expected. Or perhaps not as he saw Virgil struggeling against himself.

Nymphia already had her eyes shut as he charged but she opened them as she heared his pained scream. Not over yet. Still human inside. Her eyes shot to the bracelet, seeing Illya going for it. "Get it!" She yelled out towards Kane as she saw the girl go for it. "It's his and mine only chance."

Kane did not hesitate for a seconr as his wings shot out and he flew forward, passing Illya in a heartbeat and grabbing the bracelet, feeling the energy softly radiating off of it. But Duce got into action as well, fired up by his god's words. He grabbed the gun strapped to his holster and began shooting towards the tengu. "Don't interfere Tenshin. Let this corrupt god die." He said as he kept shooting, only caring about what position Odin could offer him if he succeeded in this.

Kane dodged the bullets, making some change direction with the wind he created with the force of his wings. "I only care about the boy!" He yelled in return, not sweating the attack by his father in law before charging towards his son. But Duce being a spirit as well shot himself forward as well, tackling the man before he could reach Virgil. They tumbled on the cave's ground, clawing and punching at eachother while doing so. Kane manages to kick the gun out of Duce's hand but a knife appeared in Duce's hand, stabbing Kane in the side, making him groan in pain and punching him in the face in return. As the wrestled on the ground Kane lost hold of the bracelet, it getting kicked more to the side.

"Illya!" Nymphia spoke now to the girl as Kane could not reach it now. "That is the way to help your father. That bracelet. Bring it to him. Calm him and I will be able to help. And your mother. God's promise!" She knew the girl had no reason to believe her after how she acted before. But now there was a true chance of her being able to help that had not been there before.

Illya grabbed the bracelet, running from Duce and Kane's fight before focusing her attention to her father. She ran to him, getting in front of the rampaging beast and whistling to get his attention. As Virgil stopped tearing himself apart he set his arms down and looked at her, giving himself time to regenerate as he reached his hand down, picking her up before she placed the bracelet on his finger hoping that it'd snap him out of his beasthood.

Virgil looked at the bracelet, seeing it glow for a moment and growling before he looked to the side and saw Yumi smiling at him. She walked towards him regularly with not fear, hugging Virgil and rubbing her hand on him, telling him that he would be okay. Virgil smiled, breathing out and knowing what he had to do finally, feeling completely in control of himself. He placed Illya down, letting himself turn back to his old self; completely in control. Virgil brushed back his stringy white hair and rubbed the knots out of his beard, being
now more tall and strong in his stance than when he was. On his right arm his tattoo dedicated to his mother and on his left there was a white rose. He walked forward to Nymphia, feeling the silence of the room. He looked back, seeing his grandfather and stepfather struggle before looking forward at Nymphia with tired eyes, getting as close as he could to her without touching her, holding the bracelet up to her to free her before burning it with his magic. "It's nothing personal." Virgil said before pulling a knife from his boot, pulling it up quick enough to cut through her leg, abdomen and ending just at the jaw bone before stabbing her in the chest several times, gritting his teeth and looking at her before he cocked the knife back, zeroing it down for the temple of her head.

Nymphia was relieved to see the beast return back to a man. She even smiled in just the slightest. So many human emotions she was feeling. Almost laughable to other gods. Accept one. One she would he seeing again. She was going to get out of here. After all these years of being imprisoned. Tears appeared in her eyes as he held the bracelet up. Almost out. Her sweet escape. Virgil could call on him. He would free her. He-..... She stared with wide eyes as he burned her way out to nothing. Not even ashes remained. She did not even feel him stabbing her till she noticed her dress getting wet with blood.

As he stabbed her in the chest Kane yelled out in desperation, trowing Duce off of him as he spread his wings to fly to Virgil. "Virgi-" he screamed out, reaching out to his son but he was to late. Just as he was about touch Virgil Nymphia's fading strength could not keep him in a physical form again, making him dissapear and his soul go back to whichever realm she had gotten him from.

Tears now slowly ran down her face as she got onto her knees. No..... she could not just die like this. Not with no one knowing where they had taken her. Not without righting her wrongs. But this was it. She felt her life force dissapear. Felt the dark spirits get stronger. She puts her hand on her bleeding heart. This was going to give him more problems.... "I'm sorry.... Tsuki..." she whispered out before her eyes turned completely white and she fell to the ground, her body immediatly decaying to a skeleton.

It was quiet for a second before the cave turned ten times as dark as laughing and cheering was heard from all the darkness she had held back with the small strength that she had had left. She had been holding them back just as much as they had her. She used all her power for that. All those dark spirits. Ready to run amock on earth. No one there to bound them anymore. Ready to run amock on earth. And they will. Out of the deepest of the cave shot hundreds of shapeless and shaped spirits. They shot straight past Virgil out of the entrance of the cave, up to where they would find earth.

---------

Screaming filled the room as Renald fell to his knees and held his now purple glowing gauntlets to his chest. They were burning. Hurting. So much. His demons were fighting. Fighting him. With so much strength he never knew they had. He grabbed his hair as he screamed more in pain, them burning him from inside, trying to force him to let them go. Let them take control. He screams were getting deeper as his teeth began to grow and his eyes were turning red. What was happening. Last time they almost succeeded because of the weakness he felt with Gilford almost dieing. But not now. That was not possible. Claws that shot out of his nails ripped his gauntlets as he clawed the floor. He was shaking. Full panick. How could they be succeeding.

"I don't know about any of that shit, but those will be someone else's problem." Virgil said as he acknowledged all the souls running off into the world before picking up an orb from Nymphia's skeleton, knowing exactly what it was; her soul. He held it up, looking at all the colors swirl inside of it before looking at Duce, smiling at his grandfather with all of Nymphia's blood coated through his white hair. "Grandfather, do you think there's a way out of here other than the way I came in?" He asked him, ignoring Illya who was against the wall in shock that her father had done what she asked but in a much different way. "This place is..not the most idyllic place to really be around."

Duce brushed off his jacket as he stood up, having some minor injuries dealt to him as well from his fight with Kane. "How am I supposed to know thay boy." Even still he called Virgil a boy. He walked towards him, staring at the orb before grinning widely. "Odin will be pleased." He said as he patted Virgil's shoulder, perhaps for the first time ever giving some sort of approvel to the kid.

------

Renald was gripping onto his humanity hard as bloody tears streamed down his face. He closed his eyes and focused, feeling himself fade for a second before opening his eyes. He was in a white room, purple mist all around him. He was inside of the prison he kept his demons in. Or more specifically one of them."what is the meanig of this, Nirreshka." He barked out as he saw the young woman in her human form walk forward.

"Nymphia died. I am stronger now. Strong enough to do what I want. " Nirri said with a smile as she walked closer to him. "I just need you to let me. It won't take long."

Renald shook his head. "No Nirri. You are not going to hurt him. You are going to let him be." He said sternly, knowing she was meaning Yurichi.

Her smile dissapeared as the room turned darker. "Let him.... be?" Suddenly chains shot out of the ground and wrapped around Renald's body. He struggles but they were pulling him to his knees. "He told me he loved me! I trusted him! I showed and gave him my all! Believed in him when no one did! And what does he do..... He leaves." She laughs as she shakes her head. "Married someone else. He betrayed me. Never really even say goodbye to my face. So no. I am not going to let him be." She walked closer to him, putting her hands on his cheeks. "I care so much for you. You showed me so much. Helped me so much. You are my only family, Renald. So i promise it wont take long. I am too gratefull to you. So i will be quick. And after that I will leave you in peace. This is the final thing I am asking of you." She said before kissing his forhead, making him screan out as she took him over by force.

Renald's bodyvob earth stopped shaking. His screaming stopping as he slowly stood up. And when he opened his eyes they were a deep purple. He stood different, a different posture. He cracked his neck before giggling. His transformation was complete. His teeth sharp. His hair longer. His nails like claws. And purple mist floating around him. He breathed in deeply. It felt strange to be in a human body. But it felt good. "Oh honey~ " he walked to the window and looked outside. "Time for a reunion, love."

"That he will be." Virgil said while still panting, having a smile on his face as he felt the approval from his grandfather. "Well, good thing I know a way out." Virgil spoke out to his grandfather, continuing to walk and lead them out. For two weeks they traveled, exiting the hell gate on the first week and meeting with a group of Odin's pagan followers and returning to Japan on the second week, traveling up the steps to the monastery and seeing scouts in training watching them the whole time. He looked around, finding himself on edge; the welcome was clearly faded from the monastery. He stopped at the gates, seeing them closed and locked. Virgil pounded on the door hard, narrowing his eyes. The monastery was never locked. "Open up Mamoru!"

At first there was no answer. The air around the monastery even felt heavy. But then the doors flew open as if pushed open by the wind and both Duce and Virgil were grabbed by the coats and pulled inside. Duce was immediatly trown to the other side of the room while Virgil was pushed against the wall, his feet off of the ground as the god of the moon himself held him up with one arm. Never had there been so much fierceness in the god's eyes. "What happend." He demanded to know. He had not been able to see. Had not hears a thing. But he knew the second the dark spirits ran lose that Virgil had found Nymphia. And now she was for certain dead. And he felt her. Now. Here. With Virgil. "Tell me now. I need you to tell me now." There was a hint of desperation in his voice but he hid that with anger.

"I killed her and freed my daughter and Eva, like what was required of me." Virgil spoke out calmly but with a hint of surprise in his voice. "She was corrupted and evil; my ancestor told me of this, do I killed her!" Virgil growled out before his own energy flared up as he shoved the god off, landing on his feet after causing the samurai to begin scrambling in his defense. "And you treat me like I did something wrong? " Virgil asked with a chuckle of disbelief as he summoned his grandfather back. "I'm shocked." He admitted before looking around and seeing Fillian, Mei and Yurichi in the samurai who had him surrounded. "But don't worry. I'll be leaving. Yumi!" He called out, feeling betrayed by essentially everyone at the monastery.

Tsukiyomi stumbled a bit back, suprised by the force behind the shove but he kept his footing. He looked back at his warriors. "Stand back!" He ordered them, knowing things could get ugly very quickly and it was not needed. No fight was needed. He looked back at Virgil. "Yumi is in her room. With your mother and father and child. Like I asked them. So we could figure this out. Because actually.... I am the one who is shocked. Shocked you found her." He shakes his head, bit of a pained look in his eyes. Remorse. Guilt. Regret. "Nymphia was not evil. Not a bit. So by killing her.... You did make a mistake but not one I can truly blame you for.... The blame is perhaps on me for not looking after her better..." he mumbled the last part, looking away before making eye contact again. "But you can make this right." He held out his hand. "I know you have her with you. Give her to me, Virgil. All will be forgiven just.... Give her to me."

"That is quite touching Tsukiyomi truly, but do you believe a whelp such as you is going to get that power?" Odin asked as he appeared in the form of a raven, perching itself on Virgil's shoulder. "That power is mine. He is my child." Odin said Tsukiyomi before appearing in his humanly form with Duce and the souls of every Stadner warrior that had lived near them as a united army of golden hair red eyed warriors. "Even now Felicia feels the call, Louisa feels the call, even little Rudolf feels the call of our blood. Virgil will give that to me and Yumj is coming with us as a child of Valhalla too."

Virgil looked back at his family, feeling his heart throb a little in pain as he saw Tsukiyomi who resembled Yumi so much appear to be breaking down. "This is my heritage Tsukiyomi, I am a Stadner. My whole life, my mother's family and Yumi have been the two things I could rely on. I like you, and thank you for having me and my wife here this last year, but a stag never leaves the herd." He spoke out to him before placing the energy into Odin's hamd, allowing him to take Nymphia's soul.

Tsukiyomi could only watch as he handed her soul over to Odin whom only wanted her for the power it would give him. The strength he would gain. Forgetting the woman she once was. Not that they ever looked at her anyway. He was one of the few who did as she was seen as one of the lesser goddesses. He clenched his fist hard, the air in the room seeming to get colder and darker. So many bad emotions were swirling inside. Screaming for a fight. Not against Virgil. The boy did not even realize what he was doing. No. Against Odin. He would fight for that woman's soul as he had failed her long enough already. Lost her. Did not protect nor find her. But then he glanced at the samurai standing behind him.... And he realized he was not willing to let them die like they would for him. He would not feel victorious if one life was even lost. Even if he won in the end. So he took a deep breath and forced it down. Forced it down hard. For he was not like the other gods. He was never out for blood. "I never needed her power and Yumi will never see your Valhalla." He said through gritted teeth towards Odin but as he began to speak to Virgil he was more calm. "You are forgetting you are of my blood as well, Elbinorune.... Take your wife and child and leave. Ask the cooks to give you enough food for the way." He says as he turns around and walks off, even now being as gentle to give them the time and the things they needed to survive, surprising alot of the samurai who had been expecting a fight. Especially now. The god paused in his walking. Hesitating a bit but still needing to know. "Atleast answer me this." He glanced over his shoulder at Virgil. "Was she.... Sane? And was she scared?...."

"Sane?...no. Not completely. " Virgil spoke out while looking at the samurai, seeing his father, mother, wife and his son before looking at Tsukiyomi. "Scared though?....yeah. She was." Virgil admitted before pushing past everyone and walking to Yumi, haven't have seen her in over a month. He smiled at Yumi, ignoring everything including his disappointed parents. "Love...oh my god." Virgil whispered out softly as he teared up, seeing her face finally in person rather than from the bracelet.

"Virgil are you fucking crazy?" Tiras asked angrily before pulling out his katana, looking over at Odin. "You just gave the soul of a dead god to the already powerful god of schemes and magic, making him more powerful than he already was." He spoke before shaking his head, seeing Virgil obviously wasn't going to listen to him before pointing his katana at the god. "Odin!"

"Emeris." Odin said with a grin, making the monastery as cold as ice as he spoke out the name. "My long lost brother, trapped in the flesh of a mortal. Why do you come at me with such hostility?"

"I...I do not know of any of that! All I know is that you cannot leave here with the power to control souls." Tiras spoke out to him, looking at him angrily. "I know what you are; I have Chronov's memories you bastard."

"Ah, Chronov. He was a dear friend of mine once upon a time." Odin said with a grin that was visible through his thick beard. "If you know so well of who I am, then tell our friend Tsukiyomi who was responsible for his precious Nymphia being locked in the depths of hell?" Odin asked with a raised eyebrow.

"..." Tiras looked down, then looking up at Tsukyiomi. "It was Emeris, the rogue god. He and Chronov decided that when facing Satan's advances, if they could plant a weapon that could destroy Gehenna from the inside, they could win the war if it was close. So they trapped her, knowing that were she to leave or were you to rescue her, it'd maybe destroy Gehenna." Tiras spoke out strong to Tsukiyomi before looking at Odin. "I am not this Emeris though! I am Tiras Elbinorune and I refuse to let you leave with that soul god of schemes!"

"Okay." Odin said before clapping his hands twice, making him and everyone he summoned disappeared into thin air save for Duce. "Sorry Duce, just lead Virgil back to Louisa. And infuriate Tiras a bit; if he lashes out at you it'll cement in Virgil's eyes that we are truly the side who should be on." Odin spoke in Duce's head.

Yumi was a bit on edge because of the situation, not completely understanding what was the right or wrong choice. But as her husband walked back to her, smiling at her after not having seen his face for a month, she realized that at the moment to her it did not matter. He was home. Safe. Tears appeared in her own eyes as she wrapped her arms around him and buries her face in his chest. Just relieved he was back.

Tsukiyomi felt another wave of guilt hit him. Yes, he could imagine her being scared.... a knot formed in his stomach as he learned who had caused her dissapearance. He should have known other gods had had their hands in it. Though he still felt responsible for it. He was. He merely watched as the other god took his leave, taking the soul with him. This was going to give problems. Problems he would solve in their own realm. Not here on earth where so much blood could have flown. Now he had one more enemy. "Thank you for speaking up and you willingness to fight. But a fight with Odin would have been futile at the moment, Tiras."

Duce only grinned in the slightest before he hid it again before looking at his daughter who was looking back at him as well. He walked towards her, making her visibly tense up. "Not happy to see me aren't you? I can imagine as I remember you being the one wanting my death." He seethed out. "Or perhaps even ordering my death i dare say."

Felicia refused to stand weak infront of her father. So instead she glared back. "You manipulated my daughter into doing the horendous things she has done. That was unforgiveable."

Duce merely huffed and folded his arms. "Oh please. I have carried us to glory long ago. I wouldn't have had to do it if you had continoud on with it. But instead you dulled our name. So yes I did that. But your daughter was just as weak as you were." He glances back at Virgil. "Alteast he shows his potentional now. Someone who actually can carry on our name. He said it himself. Loud and proud. He is a Stadner. And as he will fight he will carry us to Vahalla with Odin. And you can not blame me for it. I never even gave attention to the boy. This choice he has made is your fault. You raised him up to choose this path. Or lacked to raise him up as you were mourning and weeping like bambi for so long. So this you can not blame on me. All the decisions they have made, all the mistakes, all the pain, is on you." He said strongly, hitting every point of weakness Felicia had always felt while raising her children up. "Again Virgil choosing this path is because of your lack of guidance. Perhaps if you had fought for your son as hard as Kane did against me two weeks ago instead of passing your time with fucking your lover he wouldn't have made this decision you are so dissapointed off."

"Do not dare call my daughter weak!" Tiras barked at, looking at Duce angrily with his fist tightened. "Louisa is strong just as her mother and that is why they lived and you did not." He prodded out at him, having himself close to Duce "You dare mock her, you dare speak this shit to her without having once been any position near to what Felicia was put into. You've no place to speak dead man, my bullets made sure of that a long time ago."

"They did what?" Virgil said as he let Yumi go, feeling his blood run cold before walking over with his eyes narrowed, then looking to his mother and father.

"He manipulated Louisa, Virgil. He was an asshole Virgil; come on." Tiras said to Virgil with his head turned while looking at him, having a much softer tone of voice as he spoke to his son. "You know you wished for it too."

"I wished for nothing like that!" Virgil yelled out, tightening his fist. "He was rough but he wasn't deserving of death you fucking psychopath! We don't kill people because they are assholes or because they 'manipulated' people capable of making their own fucking choices." Virgil said to Tiras in disbelief before rubbing his face, turning and looking at Duce and then Tiras before then looking at Yumi and then Felicia. "You fucking knew didn't you? You, Louisa and dad all fucking knew and told me he died of old age?" Virgil asked in disbelief, hearing only silence for a moment. "Answer me!" Virgil yelled out at the top of his lungs, commanding an answer as the veins popped out of his face and neck. "Quit looking at me like I am some kind of fuck up and tell me the fucking truth! Did you know?!"

"Y-Yes alright!" Felicia said with a tremor in her voice before letting out a shaking sigh and running one hand through her hair. She could handle her father's mockery. His harsh words and truths. But she could not handle her son screaming at her and looking at her with eyes full of betrayel. "We knew. Louisa only knew because she was there when.... We agreed on it." She looks away for a second before looking back and walking closer to Virgil. "It was for our families safety. He has done so much things you do not know off. So much things he is capable of and willing to do. The incident with Louisa was the final straw. We didn't want it to go any further.... I truly did not want to hide this from you but so many things had happend and were stikl going on. I just wanted to spare you atleast from this." She says softly as she reaches out to hold his hand.

"Do not act like you wished to protect me, when all my life you've been letting me be used and hurt by other people!" Virgil yelled out at Felicia as he batted her hand away, walking back. "You let a boy become a soldier and kill in the name of his 'country', only for him to leave that life a broken man and a drug addict because your colleagues saw me as a weapon rather than a person." Virgil spoke out to Felicia while looking at her. "Don't say our family; you're an Elbinorune." He said with his face shriveled, looking at her angrily but also cold. "I'm a Stadner." He spoke out as he walked back, ignoring the look his father gave him. He turned his head, looking at Yumi and Rudolf, hiding his smile underneath his scowl but looking at her with a soft expression. "Yumi...are you ready to come with me?" He asked softly.

Nothing had ever hurted as much as her own son batting her hand away and looking at her with such venom in his eyes. Felicia would have prefered anything else over this. One of her deepest fears was coming true. Her son turning away from her because of her own lack of ability to raise and protect him good. She has had so many nightmares about it. So many discussions with Kane after she broke down crying and with him trying to comfort her. Telling her she was a good mom. She wasn't. She has failed each single one of her children. First Louisa. Then Remi. Now Virgil. She held her hand over her mouth as tears streamed down her face and her body shaking from the sobs and screams she tried to keep in. She knew there was nothing she could do or say to get her boy back. She had broken every piece of trust he ever had in her. So she only watched as he turned around and walked off. She did not notice Duce's small grin of triumph as he turned as well and followed his grandson.

Yumi was holding Rudolf in her arms, watching the scene unfold. She shares a glance with Yurichi who was standing in the crowd. Honestly, she hated having to leave. She had found a home here. And she had hoped this place would have been their home forever. But even if leaving wasnt a thing she wanted, she knew they had to. And she would not leave Virgil alone. So she nods as she holds Rudolf a bit tighter.

"No." Tiras spoke out while holding his katana, looking at Virgil with the same venom in his eyes that Virgil held but at his son. "I refuse to let a chaos mage join Odin's side." He said to Virgil before taking off his shirt, revealing the magic nerves already glowing on his skin. "I'll kill you before I let that happen." Tiras told Virgil in a last attempt to even get his son to listen though Tiras could already feel it was for nothing.

"Then I guess you're going to have to try, whoreson." Virgil spoke out angrily, taking the threat as a very real one before he looked at Yumi. "Cover Rudolf's ears and pack to leave." He spoke out to Yumi before giving her a kiss, then walking to the armory and pulling oathbreaker off the shelf, walking back out to the clearing that was made now for Virgil and Tiras and standing directly across from his father. Tiras was the first to chafge, coming towards Virgil with a bit of a jab motion. Virgil stepped to the side, dodging it before kicking Tiras in the side, causing him to lose balance a bit and nearly fall. "Guess you should have kept up your workouts in prison; hard to kill someone that isn't an old man, huh?"

"Especially when you're fighting like an asshole." Tiras mumbled out while before breathing in, slowing down time, closing distance between Virgil before Virgil sped up time , knowing what Tiras was doing. Virgil struck his sword against his father's. The two went back and forth going break neck speed before Virgil clashed oathbreaker against his father's blade creating sparks from the friction. Tiras used one hand to hold his blade, reaching down and grabbing his pistol strapped to his head before holding it up and rapidly firing three shots. Virgil anticipating the bullets held out his right hand and created a fireball in his hand, melting the bullets as they came.

Tiras gritted his teeth in irritation, finding that his son was stronger than him with his blade. He stepped back hoping to gain some distance on Virgil only for Virgil to follow, following up with a strike from oathbreaker that knocked Tiras's sword away. Tiras held out his pistol and aimed for Virgil's head having his finger on the trigger before Virgil grabbed the gun moving it to the side of his head and grinning before using his free fist to punch Tiras so hard that he was raised in the air, then driving him down and hitting Tiras's head on the floor knocking him nearly unconcious. Virgil stood up, looking at Tiras who looked up at Virgil in pain as he realized he was losing his son. "Next time it's the pearly gates you're opening your eyes to if you raise a weapon at me." Virgil declared before looking at his mother, not saying anything before looking at Yumi and panting a little, finally catching his breath a little bit. "Do you have everything?"

Felicia did not want them to fight. She wanted to stop it. But she knew both her man and her son were too stubborn and pridefull to not do this. So she watched as with each punch trown, blade swung and bullet fired she felt herself getting sicker and sicker to her stomach. She did not know what to feel when her son stood like that looking down at his father. She did not feel anything else except this core ripping pain. She knelt down next to Tiras as the fight ended, her tears never having stopped streaming as she softly caressed his cheek. She looked up at her son, her eyes pleading and she opened her mouth to talk but Duce was quicker.

"You did well." He said as he pats Virgil's shoulder a bit. "You're earning your Stadner name right at this moment boy. Something to feel proud off." Duce glanced over his shoulder at his daughter and her messed up lover on the ground and grinned a bit before he softly gave Virgil a push on his back to get him moving towards Yumi.

Yumi had done what Virgil had asked off her so she had not witnessed the fight. But seeing the end said enough. She was holding Rudolf up with one arm while he rested on her hip and the other held two bags with enough stuff to last them for a week or so along with some personal items. She nods before glancing to the side at where she saw Yurichi stand in the crowd. A moment of what people would discribe as an apologetic look flashed through her eyes at her brother before she looked back at her husband. "Ready to go." She said softly.

Tiras sat down on the ground holding his hand over his wounds, having tears fall from his as he tried to get to get up, only managing to stand while holding Felicia. "He's not..my son anymore. " Tiras breathed out, gritting his teeth as the tears continued to fall from his cheeks as he felt the blood begin to run hot inside of him; sadness turning into rage. "Virgil, why?!?" He asked, only getting silence from his son. "Answer me! Why now did you decide to join the likes of your whoreson grandfather? "

Yurichi held his hand on his katana, calm and collected though in rage from the disheartened look on Tsukiyomi's face. He placed his hand on his blade, looking powerful and strong for his soldiers so they'd learn how to act. He looked at his sister, nodding his head and knowing she was simply following her husband. He looked at his soldiers, holding his hand up. "Rest position." He ordered, having his soldiers place their hands behind their back and part their feet a bit in their stance.

"Alright love, thank you." Virgil said before turning his back and taking his son, looking at the people he had called friends and even family. "You all see this as betrayal but I don't, you can join me if you wish because after this I'm gone." He spoke out to them all. "But if not, I understand. You will fight for an unknown future; I will fight for a past that was beautiful and stable."

"What? One with a Stadner on the throne?" Tiras asked with a wince, holding himself.

"No; there will be no throne. Kings are for the Adalians; I am German and I am a Stadner. Stadner's are the rulers and the first men, my strength will be my title." Virgil spoke out before turning, looking ahead and giving no goodbyes and beginning to walk.

Felicia held Tiras up, feeling by how much he was leaning on her how weakened her was. And not just physically. She looks to the side as he said those words. Never would she even think about that. Nomatter what path Virgil choose. How much he hurted them. He would forever be her son. She loved her children uncondittionally and fully. That he was doing this now.... That was on her to blame. So now. She would never disown him. He will be always in her heart. I love you, forever and always. Her heart was screaming it. Her mouth stayed shut as he walked off.

Yumi slung the bags over her shoulders but Duce took one of them from her as they followed Virgil out and away from the monastery. Duce was beaming. His eyes seeing the future that Virgil might give them. How he would let the Stander name raise again. To believe it would be this boy doing so instead of his twin sister who he had seen more potention in. Had he been wrong. Yumi's eyes on the other hand looked uncertain. She had seen a future where they could be together as one family, in the monastery. One where her children would play with her brother's while their mothers were watching over them. Now she did not know where they were heading. And that was a bit scary.

Tsukiyomi stayed quiet. Not moving till they were out of sight. He then seemed to lose a breath he had been holding. Walking over to Tiras he simply touches his shoulder, envelopping him in a warmth as he healed his body. He wanted to say something. He did not know what. So instead he just walked into the monastery, into the room where the all prayed in his name and to him. He stood infront of the shrine dedicated to him, before kneeling infront of it. He just stared at it. At the large stone that was part of the shrine was engraved, showing stories with old ancient words. Of him. How he created balance. How he loved humans. Created his warriors. Protected them... Suddenly he slammed his fist against the ground, creating such a wave of energy that the shrine the priests prayed to actually broke and crumbled. He didn't care. For he was not worthy of it anyway anymore.

Tiras got off Felicia after being healed; rubbing his face and picking his weapon that had been thrown away from him in shame. He turned it back to cloth and wrapped it around his arm, breathing heavily before wrapping his arms around Felicia as she screamed, placing his hand over her mouth to quiet her down before kissing her cheek, taking her into his arms. "Felicia he's not going to change his mind yet, we need to let him think about this." Tiras whispered out calmly, trying to calm her.

"I understand." Yurichi spoke to Tsukiyomi as he walked to him, placing his hand on his shoulder before tightening it. "But you can't lose your temper, not in front of the others. You're all we have with this war on the horizon." Yurichi whispered to his god, speaking man to man much like Ronin did. "We have to be strong and win this not for us but for the world; if we stand complacent Virgil may kill Faendal or the demons will attack." He spoke out before looking up at the red sun and squinting his eyes at it. "We need to be the strongest even when things are at their worst. It is these moments that define us my lord, though I know you know that. I don't know what you lost and I won't pretend to, but I am sorry you lost it."

Felicia shook her head as she cried more and buried her face into his chest, clutching his shirt with her hands. It was her fault their son just walked off. Her fault he didn't trust them anymore. Even probably hated them. It was all on her to blame. The way she had raised him. Neglected him. Did not give him what he needed. She should have guided him more. Done more. She should have put her own sorrows and troubles more aside in those first years and be there more for him. But she hadn't done that. If something were to happen to him it would be on her. It was on her. She shakes her head again. What had she done.

Tsukiyomi glanced up at his warrior who stood so tall and strong. Taller and stronger than he probably ever could. How could humans be so strong at times. These moments... He knew these moments defined them. He had been through them before. Failed to go through them. Just as the other gods. "A piece of heart.... That's what I lost... If we even have those." He said quietly before he stood up, straightening up his kimono a bit. He tried not to think about her. He tried not to feel his feelings. Not now atleast. "With Nymphia now.... gone, her spirits have free reign. Every soul that has died now has the oppertunity to become a spirit. Good and bad. And the ones she had locked up are surely already roaming the earths. With no one holding them back they can become immensely strong...." He says as he walks to the window and looks outside. If he had had her soul he could have taken control. It would have been alot of work but he would have done it. it takes alot of energy. So he doubts that Odin would take that task on him. It would take too much energy and weaken him to much. So his worries will come true, the demonic spirits roaming free and all the souls that died now having the chance to become a spirit. It means he would have some hunting to do....

"You do...we're made in your image. You're just feeling human things." Yurichi spoke to Tsukiyomi as he rubbed his shoulder, thinking about what his god said. "Well..." He said before breathing in and then out, pondering upon Tsukiyomi's words. "We have a mess to clean up. You..you focus on the spirits. Tiras? He can kill gods, you should work with him. Me? I have to set up an army..perhaps set an war alliance with Faendal." He spoke out as he tried to get them to think forward. "But we can't do nothing. That's worse than trying and failing."

"Human things..." The others gods would be laughing at him if they saw him even consider this. But Tsukiyomi could not help but wonder, like he always has wondered, how much they really differed from the humans. If the gods weren't just the worst sides of humanity stuffed into an immortal body with incredible power that did more wrong than good.... Ridiculous thoughts for a god. Ones he still had. "Tiras has enough to worry about at the moment. If he wishes to join me he can though I will not ask him." He looked at Yurichi, or more like stared before he reached out and puts his hand on Yurichi's head, probably surprising the boy by ruffling his hair. "You speak too wisely for someone so young."

Yurichi smiled and tried not to laugh as his hair was ruffled, looking over at Tsukiyomi and reaching over doing the exact same thing to him. "Someone has to. Hard times call for strong men my lord." He said happily, feeling a feeling of joy from his gods parental like affection before seeing Kiyoshi in the corner of his eye. "And I know that together through strength, love and compassion these times will pass and leave like the ocean tide." He spoke out gently, having been rather poetic as of late from the studying he had been doing.

Tsukiyomi blinked a few times before chuckling and shaking his head as Yurichi gave him the same treatement. He runs his hand through his hair to tidy it a bit up again as he glances back to where Yurichi was looking, seeing Kiyoshi here. "I hope you are right." He patted his shoulder. "Train well. We shall see eachother soon." He said as bright light engulved him and he dissapeared towards his realm, readying himself to go hunt himself.

~~~~~~~~~

A few days past, the events that happened in the monastery still not having quite calmed down. Everyone still felt the afterblow of it. Felicia had not left her room since Virgil left. The priests strengthend the protective dome around the monastery due to the raise in demonic spirits. They did not have any attacks but it was just a precaution. Just to be sure.

---------

Kiyoshi was deep asleep in her husband's arms, feeling warm and secure and loved. But then for some reason she slowly woke up from her sleep with a frown. Huh? Carefully she sat upright, to not disturb her husband. She thought she heard something but it was gone again. Oh well.... her blatter was awake now too. Softly she gets out of the bed to get to the toilet down the hall. But when she was walking she heard it again. A soft crying. She thought it was Felicia but whwn she stood infront of her door she heard nothing. Instead she heard ot again coming from outside. She closed the robe she had put on a bit tighter as she heads out. To her surprise seeing a small girl standing there, crying. She looked like an orphan with her grease hair and ripped clothes. Poor child. It looked like she had took the climb to the monastery. "Hey honey." The child got spooked and ran off towards the stairs back down the mountain. "Wait up." She called after the girl, running after the child. A fatal mistake. Because the second she stepped out of the protective dome. The girl dissapeared and a purple missed engulved her. The yelped and when the mist was gone she was standing in what looked like a dark small room. The air around her felt so heavy that she found it hard to breathe.

"Such a pure heart. Always thinking about others. Almost to get sick off." A male voice boomed through the room.

Kiyoshi jumped a bit, not seeing where the voice came from. "Who are you?" She tried to sound strong but she felt weak, not feeling the strength of her lord anywhere. Nothing she could use.

"Behind you lovely." There a stood, a grin on Renald Silvius's face. But that was all that was his. His face and body. The rest of it screamed Nirri in the way he stood, looked and the colour of his eyes. "Who I am is none of your concern. You are simply the sad bait I need. Just sit tight. And enjoy the show that is about to come. Play your part nicely and i wont hurt you perhaps."

Yurichi found himself having a nightmare of Adalia again, waking up after and nudging where Kiyoshi would be before he sat up with sweat beads dripping from his forehead; panting and getting himself dressed putting a kunai in his boot out of habit, then walking out to the hall towards the bathroom. He walked to the bathroom, knocking on the ladies room door twice. "Kiyoshi?" He asked before the door opened and Mei came out.

"I saw her walk outside, seemed kinda in a hurry." Mei said before walking out and rubbing her hand on her head tiredly, seeming ready for sleep again.

"Why would she be in a hurry?" Yurichi asked before going back to his bedroom and putting on a shirt, strapping a wakizashi to his side out of paranoia and tightening his boots walking out of the room and to the outside after, seeming a bit worried. "Kiyoshi?" He asked as he walked around, seeming to go to all her typical places as he tried to see where she would have went.

A giggle was heard as the small child Kioyshi had been following appeared from behind a tree. She looked different now though. She was wearing a gorgeous pale blue kimono and she had dark black hair like Kiyoshi with Yurichi's eyes. The resembelance to the both of them was undenieable. "Come play? Mommy is waiting." She asked before darting off towards where she had led Kiyoshi before. Out of the protective dome, a bit down the path towards the village and arriving infront of a room sized box made of dark liquid material. The girl touched the box, it opening up a small door. Inside could not be seen it was so dark. "Come come!" She said before going in herself.

"Where the fuck is she?" Yurichi asked himself before continuing to walk, coming dangerously close to the gates of the monastery before seeing a lightly fresh print of a geta. He narrowed his eyes, following it down quietly as his hair began to fall down his face and he gritted his teeth. "Kiyoshi!" Yurichi yelled out, going into the woods and following her trail, entering the path once more, trying to find her before seeing a dark liquid box that stunk of Nirri. "What have you done with her?!" Yurichi asked before running to it and banging on the box, gritting his teeth and having his eyes go bloodshot as he banged against it and yelled loud enough for Tsukiyomi and the entire village to hear before he saw an opening and he charged in, looking around only to see complete darkness.

The opening closed behind him, leaving him completely in the dark, blocking everything that wanted to get in as well. Even his lord's holy energy. He was on his own now. "You have grown so much." It was not Nirri's voice, it was still Renald's. But it was clear it was not him since he almost purred the words. "Become so strong. A holy man even. Impressive. I knew you would become something great. And I am so so sorry for not visiting any sooner to see your succes. But I am certain you don't even care about that." Now he walked out of the shadows, standing there with a hand on his hip, his purple predatory wild eyes fixed on Yurichi's. "Since you have clearly forgotten all about me. What was her name again? It sounded like you were screaming out to her but I was too occupied with.... other things. You took long. I was getting bored."

"Nirri, I knew that this would eventually come." Yurichi spoke out as he held his hand on his fathers weapon on his hip, walking back a bit. "Her name is Kiyoshi, Nirri. She is my wife and we have been broken up for over a year; a year." He said while circling around, still keeping his footwork tight and in rhythm. "I am not sure why or how you over powered Renald, but if you care for him, you will let him and her out of this. We can fight without hurting anyone else; I only hurt you Nirri...hurt me, not them." He spoke out calmly, trying to appeal to the better angels inside of her.

Nirri did not take her eyes off of him, following him every move, every step, every breath. Her eyes if possible turned even more feral at his words as her nails elongated. "Broke up?...." She sudenly began to laugh, her sharp teeth showing. "We didn't break up. You left. YOU LEFT!" She shrieked out in anger. "YOU LEFT ME ALONE! AFTER I GAVE YOU EVERYTHING! So don't even dare to start talking about caring. I am mercifull enough as they are both still alive." She growled a bit. "This is not going to be a fight. This is going to be a lesson. And a punishment." It was clear there would be no talking her out of this. She had sunken too deep. Her demonic side taken over too much.

"I couldn't have stayed, you never could have understood!" Yurichi yelled out angrily. "After Adalia...I felt NOTHING! Nothing!" He barked. "And there was nothing I could do to feel again. I would have rather given you that than have tormented you with watching me die, because that's where I was heading!" He yelled out to Nirri, tightening his fist and breathing out. "But you wouldn't have cared; no. You wanted the sex and the fun, you didn't want this!" He yelled out as his pupils dilated a bit and he grit his teeth seemingly nearly in a manic episode. "You didn't want a man that cut the heads off little girls and bathed in blood; no! You wanted something else, something that died in that blasted warzone." He spoke out as he felt himself slipping. "So you can punish me Nirri, you can kill her, you can kill Renald, but I swear by all the fucking gods you won't get a single fucking feel from the man you loved because he fucking died before I even left." He said to her as he walked close to her face, looking into Nirri's eyes rather than Renalds and seeing the soul.

Nirri's growl slowly dissapeared as a shimmer of what she used to be appeared in her feral eyes, softening them a bit. And surprisingly, one tear runs down her cheek. "Is that what you think of me?.... That I wouldn't understand? That I just wanted sex and fun?...." Her hands began to shake as an enraged and pained look appears on her face. "I WANTED YOU! I CARED FOR YOU! EVERY PART OF YOU! I LOVED YOU! I WOULD HAVE UNDERSTOOD! I WOULD HAVE HELPED! I WOULD HAVE GIVEN YOU EVERYTHING! EVERYTHING YOU WANTED, EVERYTHING YOU NEEDED! I WANTED TO SUPPORT YOU! BE THERE FOR YOU! I CARED! I SAW YOU HURTING AND I TRIED! I tried so hard! I cared. I l-l-lo-" She took a step back as she pushes her palms against her eyes, her body shaking because of the things she was feeling. She wanted to rip him apart. She wanted to hold him. She wanted to scream. She wanted to cry. She was panting hard.

"You can't fix something that's broken Nirri, you can never put the pieces back together perfectly." Yurichi spoke out quietly to Nirri. "I never though you wanted just sex and fun, but I knew that you wouldn't want what I was becoming before I found this place." Yurichi said as he saw her fighting inside. "I loved you too Nirri; part of me still does, but the time has passed. I am a different man; I'm not the same person." He said to her before stepping back. "Let us out. Me, Kiyoshi and Renald. You came here to hurt me, but I know you're the one hurting. You won't get an answers trying to teach me this 'lesson' and you won't fill the void; you'll only be feeding to the worst demons you have inside of you."

Nirri's body stopped shaking but she did not move her hands. It seemed like she was calming down. Though then her shoulders started to shake again. Not because of the overwhelming things she was feeling. But because of harsh laughter. She moved her hands away, her eyes as feral as they had been before and she was grinning. "You lie. Buttering up your words to get what you want Just as him. You only want one thing. Her. You are not going to get her. I am going to make you feel again." She had completely snapped. The demons inside of her taken over as they kept reminding her of the betrayel that led to her own death and led now to this pain. Mist wrapped around her and she dissapeared. But the room got lighter, and in the back of it sat Kiyoshi in a chair, not moving but she was concious. A seethrough wall dividing the room in two. Kiyoshi on one side, Yurichi on the other. She smiled in relief as she saw Yurichi but that smile quickly dissapeared as her own hand wrapped around her neck, squeezing her airway shut, causing her to gag and gasp for air. But she could not move her own hand.

"I wasn't lyin-" Yurichi widened his eyes before seeing Kiyoshi, feeling his heart lighten as he saw her before he grit his teeth, watching what was happening to Kiyoshi, He watched, banging his hand against the will hard and causing fissures on it. "Let, her, go!" He yelled out at the top of his lungs, hitting his hand against the wall. "Nirri!" He said while foaming at the mouth, having the red from his eyes seem to travel down to markings on his arms under his skin that he never knew were they, acting like magic nerves the mages used but instead being used to channel the holy energy; the trinity between soul, body and nature. He tore his hand through the barrier, having the skin burn off from hitting it, exposing the tendon and bone in his arm before he used his other hand to grab into it; flaying the skin from his palm as he tore a hole to get through the wall, using inner power in him he never knew was there and ignoring the pain he felt as he tried to save the one he loved as he now covered himself in his own blood which came dripping off his arm and hand quickly.

"My my, to believe you are still able to channel so much energy in here." Nirri said as she appeared behind Kiyoshi, wrapping her arms around the womans shoulders as she leans her chin on her head as she watches Yurichi tear up his own body to try and save this woman. "You really must be something if he tries this hard for you." She said to Kiyoshi, tears now streaming down her cheeks as she saw her husband hurting so much, not even caring about her own lack of air that threatend to make her fall unconcious soon. "I don't want you getting this hurt already, it would shorten up our play time." Nirri said with a bit of a pound as she points at his knife. "Take one of you own lungs. Stab yourself. Give your air to her. There just ain't enough air here for the both of you fully. So hurry. It'll stop her pain right away. And every step you take closer to her I'll make her squeeze harder." And to prove that Kiyoshi's other hand joined the one around her neck.

"You're insane." Yurichi yelled out as he tore open the barrier, stepping through with his arms having steam coming from them as the skin reformed onto his wounds as he looked at her; his eyes piercing red at Nirri. "I'll devour your impure soul and give you peace instead, since reason has left." He spoke out before placing his hand on his head as a pair of horns came out from his head and curled; his skin turning ice white and the markings on his body glowing red while a pair of white wings sprouted from his back, created loud crunches and pops from his spine as they forced their way out from his back before spreading, creating light within the room as his soul connected with that of Tsukiyomi's and cracked straight through her demonic energy. Using the weakening of the realm Yurichi teleported, shoving at Nirri from the side to get her away from Kiyoshi.

Nirri tilts her head a bit to the side as she felt such power coming from him. Even so much it began to change him. Huh. This was not as planned. To believe he had gotten so close to the god he was able to chanel so much energy. Even breaking through her barrier. Impressive actually. But she did not have time to make a remark as he pushed her to the side, making her growl loudly and land on all fours. Looking like a beast even more now. Fuck this. She had wanted to play more. But he was a fool. She stood and snapped her fingers. Her puppet reacted as she dissapeared in the mist again.

Kiyoshi suddenly stood and jumped backwards, a bow made of dark liquid appearing in her hands. She pulled backwards, her eyes wide as the arrow was pointed at Yurichi. "Watch out!" She yelled as she began to shoot arrows at him at a rapid speed. She tried to stop but her body was not her own so she could only pray none of them hit as the arrows flew at him.

Yurichi dodged to the side, letting the arrows fly past before rotating his hips and turning his whole body as he broke the bow in half as his foot swung down. He then held his hand up, grabbing onto Kiyoshi as he channeled her purity as well before he blasted a hole through the little plane of existence Nirri had put them in, letting light in through and power from the monastery. "Come out Nirri; fight against someone that will fucking fight back you raunchy whore!" He lobbed at her. "See if you can move that flat saggy ass enough to actually make a fucking scratch!"

It was almost as if her anger could be felt in the air around them as it got heavier even if light began to shine through. It did not matter. She would break him. Nomatter how. She wasn't stupid. She would not win in a one on one fight with him. That wasn't her style anyway. She did not fight. She controlled. She was strong. Stronger than he could imagine. But she could not hurt him. Not through him.

Kiyoshi smiled in relief as she felt the light shine through. But then her smile dissapeared and her eyes widened as she felt something so painfull she had never felt before. She felt wetness. Felt burning. And when she looked down she was holding a black knife. And it was lodged into her lower stomach about where her uterus would be. Nirri was still controling parts of her. Controling just a part of a body wasn't that hard. Even through all the light and purity she could do it. And she proved that even more as Kiyoshi began to move the knife in her stomach to the side, slicing into her flesh as she screamed in pain and clung onto Yurichi shoulder with her other hand.

Yurichi grabbed Kiyoshi's arms, pushing her down before taking the knife out and throwing it, feeling his anger even turn more hot red as he tried his best to keep himself from going rabid. He now in the mindset of a demon could see the line connecting, grabbing Kiyoshi and placing his hand over her wound with one hand while holding his hand over both wrists with the other to stop her from sudden actions. "Kiyoshi breathe baby you'll be okay." He whispered out to her, numbing the pain with his hand and nuzzling close to her; rubbing his head against hers before slamming his head against her's to knock her unconscious. He set her down, looking up with blood trickling down from his forehead. "Where are you going to hide?!" Yurichi asked as the room began to get more illuminated, pushing the mist more and more to a corner. "You know when I find you, I'm going to hurt you...I'm going to hurt you so fucking bad you bitch-" He growled out while blasting another hole through the space. "-You-" He gritted his teeth while channeling his energy inside. "-will be praying...to my god." He spoke out with sweat dripping from his forehead, grinning at the end of the sentence before using the energy to finally destroy the realm they were in, returning them back to earth where Nirri was fully visible along with six Adalian airships that all focused their lights on her the second her energy signature was detected.

------------

"Quite well fortified, don't you think Rosalie?" Faendal asked Rosalie while walking around the courtyard of the monastery, holding his hands behind his back as everyone woke up. "Except the front gate; I was surprised truly they left that unlocked and open."

Kiyoshi was crying and whimpering in pain as he tried to soothe her. Tried to take away her pain. But she was panicking. She knew where the knife had hit. What it could have cut. And she was afraid it had. She nuzzled her face against his before he gave her the mercy of knocking her unconcious. It was for the best.

Nirri was on all fours, a forked tail now coming out of her back as she was growling. She looked up, seeing the Adalian ships. Fucking hell. That idiot King came here himself. Renald was ofcourse important but this was insane. She could not concentrate on Yurichi if they were here sticking their nose in things they should keep out of. Her head snapped back to Yurichi as she stood upright. "Go ahead. It ain't my body. And you are not getting me out without hurting or killing him. You won't do that." She barked out before looking back up. A tornado of mist shut up to one of the airships but it didn't blow the airship away. No. It surrounded it. It's canons and guns suddenly aiming at the other airships as they began shooting.

Rosalie held one hand on her stomach, a habit she did nowadays without really noticing, as she followed her husband. It was very peacefull looking. Was. Would have been if this shit wasn't going on. She looks up at their airships. "Let's just get this over with quickly." She says, still a bit annoyed at the fact Faendal HAD to go get Silvius personally.

"Ah actually that might be incorrect." Faendal spoke out to Nirri as he held up the staff of Chaos and froze time itself except for them, though a force unable to be explained held Nirri down from moving. "You give yourself too much credit; see you need Renald, he doesn't need you. It's quite...simple." He said with a laugh. "And you fucked it up; see that's my smart, funny, entertaining British compatriot and the fact you nearly killed him for...whatever this is, is quite troublesome." He spoke out with a nonchalant tone before a chain came out from the staff and connected through Renald and onto Nirri's soul. "Now get out, before I force you out and personally shove a dagger up your vagina and show you what it really feels like to be turned inside out."

Nirri was a second to late in trying to get away as she felt time freeze and her body being locked to the spot. She growled and hissed as saliva ran through her sharp teeth down her chin. Whatever humanity she had ever had completely gone. She grabbed the chain, it burning her hand as she tried to pull at it. She was not going to get out. No. They would have to fight her for it. Because she knew once she got out it was over. She was not ready for it to be over. Not ready for the decision she knew Renald would make. She still needed to do more. Use this chance more. So she struggled against the chain. "Fuck you!" She hissed out as her tail slammed against the ground. "Just fuck off! Let me do what I have to and you'll get him back. There is no reason for your rich dick to be here."

"No." Faendal said simply before yanking her out, having the child like demon in front of him before he casually walked over to her with the chain extending from his staff and wrapping it around her, having the chain hold her in place as time resumed. "That's not in the royal agenda for the day. And declined; I am taken you know." He spoke out before looking over at Yurichi who held Kiyoshi in his arms. "That's...heartwrenching. You are a vile, heartless creature." He jousted before looking over at Renald, hoping to hear signs of life.

"Tsukiyomi!" Yurichi growled out at the top of his lungs, walking up through the mud as it rained and a storm began; pouring down on him and washing the blood off from him into the soil. "Did...Did she take my wife's fertility?!" He asked with a yelled, holding her as he placed his hand over her stomach; healing the wound but now knowing if he could heal it deep enough

Nirri was struggling against the chains, foam forming on her mouth as she tried to get out, cussing and screaming vulgar things towards the King. Not even looking at Yurichi as her anger was for now focused on the man that had messed up with her plans. That woman should have been dead already. He should have suffered more. But no, they butted in.

Renald laid limp on the ground, his eyes closed, his breathing coming in short pants as he was sweating alot. He was completely drained. All his energy gone. His hands were his gauntlets are were scorched beneath all the way up to his upper arms. It was a miracle he was even still alive. He could not move. Could not even see or hear what was going on at the moment. All he knew was that he felt the cold rain. And it felt good.

Tsukiyomi appeared next to Yurichi, laying his hand over Yurichi's that he had on the woman's stomach, helping him heal the wound. He felt guilty for not being able to help sooner. But with the strength Nirri had stolen from Nymhia like that it was even impossible for him to break through the barrier from outside. And she had masked her presence immensely. Almost like a goddes herself. "I.... Don't dare to say yet...." He knew it was a weak answer but he was no Venus. This was not up his alley. He would need to let her heal and recover fully first and then he might see.
