As Pandorous and Acedia arrived in Origin, they unhooked arms and the behemoth raven perched itself on The Tree, placing its long wing down onto the wooded marsh; incidentally, its wing touched the shadows. Pandorous petted its round cranium, cooing in an avionic way before walking down the steeply slanting wing, defying gravity as stood nearly perpendicularly to the surface below. However, the summoned raven's talons finally made contact with a light crystal. It let out a screech as its entire frame set aflame but peculiarly - in purple. This was new but most certainly not unexpected - this was Celeste's and Vesperus' birthplace. Evil only knew one color there. And that's why she belonged there - it would only motivate her to write to her best. After all, individuals were lazy; however, add a motive to an individual and suddenly he/she/it/ he-she-it is a force stoppable only by powerful forces, forces Pandorous believed sided with her.
Since the flame was not hers to control, the true ruler of darkness wished to convert it. After all, her dark magic had to be more powerful than his; beneath her feet, she reinforced her leather boots with her green flame and rode on top of the purple burning feather of her fallen friend. She found that that the flames weren't necessarily stronger than each other but managed to wrestle each other differently. Her green flames were helical and his were circular; she rode down to the shadowed swamp, but only to have been thrown off balance by Vesperus' old flame. She felt a snickering in her mind as her face planted on the protruding root of a tree of Origin. How the mighty have fallen. The Queen grimaced. "That was not symbolic," she reassured herself as she rose, her face slightly slimed with slick mixture. However, it blended in perfectly and she even seemed to absorb it. It tingled her skin like an excellent exfoliating cleanser.
En route, she searched from the Acedia she lost track with. However, she knew the tense demoness was capable of keeping out of the light. So, she decided to multitask. Spying on that Kestrel character with the help of a helpful, wise spell. "Oh this is delectable. Now just who are you runn-" Her inability to made the Queen of everything abysmal tint to a black the mortal world knew as "Akon black" couldn't compare to.
It was then the words, with her wrathful hate streamed through her. Perfect! She placed the tip of her pen into a ray of light, watching it blaze purple for a second. She withdrew it, willing her hand's emerald combustion as her pen terrorized the immaculate page:
As she concluded, she wrote "...Herein lies the portal , of those modernly mortal." As she dotted the beginning of the end, she heard an eerie creak before hearing the deathly wheezing of another world's dead. It didn't take Pandorous long to know the portal to the mortal realm was the only balanced realm nearby. She passed through, and was soon just where she wanted to be. She took an inhale, enjoying the fragrance of pollution. Before she could bottle up her joy, she reverted back to her mission. "Kestrel..." she murmured in disgust, "I'm hunting you down."

 When the darkness bounds us to lost memories..Acedia,keeping silent throughout this time,watched as her queen petted the bird then followed her down.This place seemed so odd to her.Just as they got off a loud screech instantly made her turn around to glance at the raven being burned.Instead of being afraid of the crystals and their power over darkness Acedia only grew more with curiosity.Noticing the look in Pandorous's eyes she knew she was only getting anxious now.Once they managed to ride the raven's feather everything seemed to keep calm,until Acedia gazed at the flames underneath.This wasn't good..Just before they both could do anything about it their ride threw off balance as they both went over board."Pandorous! she yelled to her as she tried to reach out for her but they both separated into different directions.
Before she could land face first into the ground Acedia shifted her weight so her left shoulder could take the impact.Just as she felt the rocks hit her she tumbled onto her feet.Doing that managed to keep her from getting the worst from the fall.Collecting herself Acedia scanned her surroundings.They really did get a good distance from each other.Yelling for her queen she listened to the scenery around her."How unfortunate.Guess I'm on my own for a bit." Acedia whispered to herself.She didn't mind being alone,but they were on a mission and trying to find each other was only going to make slower timing to find the lost Vesperus.Closing her eyes for a moment and taking a deep breathe Acedia headed in the direction her queen landed.Maybe she didn't run off so she could find her.
Darting off into the swampy area as her picture sharp eyes scanned the objects around.Finally she caught glimpse of disturbed ground and followed the trail.Just as Acedia was about to call her name she caught up with Pandorous just as the portal opened and she headed inward."I see you thought of leaving me behind Pandorous." Acedia said calmly as to confuse her queen on if she was angered or not.In this case she was slightly agitated.Killing Vesperus was what she was born and raised to do.As they felt the great air of the mortal world Acedia also took an inhale as though relaxing only slightly.Maybe this world had more to offer tn her mission to get the man she wanted.After listening to her queen and leet her have her fill of pride Acedia's velvet voice seeped in."Lead the way on where you wish to take us."Her posture showed she was ready to begin the search. ..it never makes us any stronger.

 I may be small,Blushing at his comment, Rena began to feel her funny feeling ease. From discomfort to rather happy, she felt as though she were in the proper place here with Kestrel. It was beyond weird since they were never friends in high school but now they were talking as though they've known each other for a really long time. 'But past lives is just ridiculous, especially to be reborn with somebody in the same era.' she thought to herself as she smiled at him. Hopefully he wouldn't become all knowing and hear her thoughts, that wouldn't end well whatsoever. But if he did hear her, they'd just keep their unconventional conversation going. He seemed so adamant about it, probably because he was thinking with emotion, while she kept a clear head and only focused on the logic.
"But Kestrel, I think we're just making something out of nothing. After all..." she began as a bright light flashed and a blond haired man walked through the light. Shell shocked, she stood up and walked back, her legs pushing the crate she was sitting on with her. Everything was moving back to the weird feelings from before, but this man was the cause. The moment the blade was pulled, she knew she should leave. Sure Kestrel meant to protect her, but if she weren't around, the man might leave him alone. Hopefully he would, she'd feel so bad if she were the reason Kestrel got hurt from a random man. She was always protective over her friends, but she felt that instinct so much stronger for Kestrel than any of her other friends.
While the man was distracted, Rena slipped out of the room quietly before running as fast as her legs could carry her. What a sucky time to be wearing a dress and shoes to match. It completely inhibited her speed. That was only proven as she was cut off by the psychotic blond. "I'm not going anywhere with you!" she yelled as she threw a trash can at him and ran for Kestrel. He knew this area far better than she did and maybe could get them out of the situation unscathed. "Who are those people?" she asked as she ran along side Kestrel. He was in there longer with the strangers than she and perhaps he got some information out of them. but my conviction will overpower even the mountains of power.

 Why do I feel so strange, as if...
Kestrel's 'son' cut Aithorn off as he and Rena made their escape. Smiling Ashe took fighting stance. Aithorn looked at him strangely. "Whats so funny?" he said drawing his sword. Ashe opened his mouth to say something, but the blade began to glow cutting him off. "It's about that time already?" he said. "I didn't think dad would be ready so soon" Ashe turned to Aithorn running off after Kestrel and Rena. Aithorn quickly dashed after him throwing off the cloak and brandishing another sword. "You won't bring him back!" he said trying to keep up with Ashe. Kestrel ran along side Rena trying to make sense of things. "He said your a queen and I'm apparently someone's father...I don't know what's going on." he said. This was working only to further prove his point of past lives...but a queen? "We need to get out of here and fast.." he said looking to the left grabbing her hand he pulled her into another alley. They would be safe there for a little bit. Pulling out his phone he texted Roxy telling them they were being attacked and to come pick them up.
"There you are father" said Ashe as he turned the corner into the Alley. Kestrel stood in front of Rena. "Your older than I am! How in the hell can I be your father?" he said drawing a knife. "Maybe not now, but in a past life. The sword has told me your mind has opened to the truth. Now I can show you!" said Ashe as he walked over to Kestrel. "It'll only hurt for a moment!" he said as he dashed towards him and stabbed right through Kestrel's chest. It was true it only hurt for a moment...Kestrel fell to the ground impaled by the sword. Ashe looked over to Rena. "You don't look very strong to me" he said as he started to fade. "So that sword was my only link..." Soon Ashe vanished completely. Rena was the only one in the alley for a second. Aithorn turned the corner soon with swords drawn. Sheathing them he looked to Rena. "My queen why do you run from me?" he asked. Suddenly Kestrel began to move. He pulled the sword out of his chest and stood up in pain. The sword vanished as it hit the ground. Purple flames healed the wound as it was now just a whole in his shirt. "What am..I?" he said looking at his hands. The question seemed to be directed at Aithorn.
"The King of Oblivion" said Aithorn simply. Kestrel smirked. "So your just another crazy fan?" he said laughing. Aithorn ignored him and took out Seventh Sactum. "It calls out to you queen..." he said.
...There was something I was supposed to tell you.

Already, the queen could sense the all too familiar aura. Of course, hers was green with benediction and vengeance whilst his was of a more loyal and royal tincture. Once she recited her surveillance spell over Kestrel, she discovered that her ultimate pawn had been piercing and by none other than Aithorn. She hated the spirit in that immortal but she would settle that battle after she retrieved wielder of the ultimate weapon.
Before either of them could move on, they had to conform to seem less fearsome. So, all of Pandorous' wings and horns were left. However, she considered her attire extremely appropriate - in what world is leather and lace a bad combination? Reciting yet another spell from her book, she and Acedia walked into the backstage. For a moment, she wondered where Kestrel was... he seemed so close. It was when she looked down that she saw she wass standing on his recently cured chest. She took off one foot while keeping him down with the other, leaning into him while her eyes glowed a bright green. "So you're the infamous Kestrel." she scanned his body, finding his attire ridiculous and more so at his color of hair. "I thought you would be more partial to violet..." she said, more to herself before introducing herself. Why did she feel so secure? Because the truest queen amongst all queens created a durable forcefield. If any of those heavenly creatures acted against her, it would at least slow the attack and giver her extra time to think of their punishment before laying down the fist of darkness.
She lifted her booted foot from his chest and dragged him up. "They will kill you when they get the chance." As will I, she left out. "You see," she lifted a hand and let green flames envelop it, "we're made of the same stuff." Her face tilted down as her shorter self looked up at him, giving him an appealing yet dark smile. "I can end this for you right now." Her smiled widened, "The curiosity that is." This Kestrel figure wreaked of Vesperus - it was enough to make her want to annihilate the mortal right there but that would ruin the master plan.
She looked to Aithorn, blowing him a kiss before making a biting motion at Amore. Of course, she expected Acedia to keep them very busy. "All you have to do is say the word and I can make sure these bullies don't spend eternity blaming you for what you aren't." Of course, she knew that's what Kestrel may want to hear. He was human after all, and with a revolting sense of style. Where was the armor? The feathers? The tattoos? What was this with a tie? And was that... eyeliner? Oh sweet mother Pandora's Box, say it ain't so!
"Clock's ticking," she said calmly and soothingly to the rightfully perturbed soul. Slightly anxious to get out of there, the queen looked to Acedia, whom she hoped was doing her part in cooperating with Kestrel's escape. It was paramount that they seemed on his side.
Now for the girl... she was not any of her concern yet. After all, Pandorous couldn't see her in the spell she made. She knew even in humanity he would chase her. It was why she ever questioned him at all and why he had to die. He was not fully evil and that's all that counted.

When the darkness bounds us to lost memories..Watching as everything unfolded Acedia held silence as her main key.It wasn't unusual since she was raised to be that way.Her arms were folded when Pandorous held him but when he stood upright her posture looked more relaxed.Her pure purple eyes gazing at him like she was on his side and wished for him to join them.With Aithorn in front of them and ready to strike the demoness reacted into jumping in front of Kestrel,her posture in an instant defensive mode before Kestrel or anyone else could blink.The new Vesperus could tell she was unmistakenly fast due to her hair flicking softly for a brief second from darting so close to him.With Acedia's hands reached to both sides of the two behind her knives slid down from her sleeves,reflecting little glow from the background lights.A faint grin crossed her face as her piercing eyes watched Aithorn.
"With a mind such as yours you will die in their hands." the woman said then tightened her stance and taking a step back to Kestrel and glanced at him to add more."I am your blade.I will protect you with my life if they dare to harm you." her velvet voice said to him.Doing this showed to him she was trustworthy and devoted.Telling lies only sickened Acedia but it seemed it was only Pandorous's that annoyed her.Even so she didn't dare give it a second thought.Kestrel could see the look in her eyes just from a side glance and could see that this woman was being serious. ..it never makes us any stronger.

 Sometimes I feel a darkness driving me...
Aithorn smiled. "Amore this girl thinks she can take us?" he said drawing his sword as Amore appeared by his side. Aithorn turned the Seventh Sanctum into a sword and dashed towards the new queen of darkness. He spun around Acedia and dashed towards Pandorous and Amore handled Acedia. Amore drawing two rapier slashed viciously at Acedia. Aithorn launched and attacked with an overhead slash. Pandorous simply turned and stopped him in mid air using the shadows of the alleyway. She smiled as she waved her hand and sent him flying. Kestrel thought for a second. He couldn't leave Rena there alone with the man who called himself Aithorn. He turned up to Pandorous. "I'll take your offer, but only if you take Rena with us. "I won't leave her here" he said. Pandorous smiled as he brought up Rena who she knew was the queen of light reborn. She let him stand on his own and snapped her fingers. A green flame surrounded them. Kestrel began to panic as it was exactly like his nightmares. He wondered if this was the best choice, but it got them away from the crazy lady. Aithorn stood using the sword.
"You aren't taking the queen anywhere you witch?!" he said running and throwing the weapon that now took a spear form. Pandorous simply stood to the side dodging it as it hit the area inside the circle. Amore dashed for the wall but was stopped by Acedia who launched off Amore's back while she was distracted. Acedia stood inside the circle smiling. Amore rose to her feet just as everything inside the circle vanished. Aithorn had a troubled look. He raised his hand opening a gate of light. The two walked in returning to the castle to prepare a battle plan. Aithorn knew his knight would have something to say about all this.
Inside Pandorous' castle the crowds were laughing and snickering. "There goes the pansy king..." and "They were right he is weak now..." The creatures inside there were surely something he saw on a game he played called "Devil May Cry" he thought as he and Rena were escorted around the castle. Acedia was walked next to Pandorous. Something she said sounded familiar to him even though he had surely never met her before. Alot of things felt familiar to him in that castle. Rena on the other hand kept close to Kestrel since she was scared of the dark that seemed to lurk around every corner. He looked in a room where Seventh Sanctum had been moved to. They were doing some kind of test on it, but none of them could stay near it for very long. After a walk down a long hallways he finally spoke. "So this is all a dream right? This place can't be real" he said serious. "No wonder we played so well."
((Sorry for the supper late reply. Been a bit busy with school.))
...For now I will put that darkness into my music.

When the darkness bounds us to lost memories..With her piercing eyes the assassin gave Kestrel a thoughtful smile as he agreed to join them on their journey back.Least they didn't have to take him by force and not to mention got an added bonus of getting Rena,the queen of light.The phrase 'getting more flies with honey then with vinegar' really says a lot in this situation.As they were about to part from Aithorn and Amore Acedia folded her arms giving a bodyguard persona,the smile never fading till they reached the castle.
Seeing the weakling demons again roaming around really made a look of disgust almost difficult to hide.Maybe it was because of how they seemed to be more about brawn then brains yet they didn't even have that.When she heard the 'weak' comment Acedia turned with a death glare at the demon.With eyes like hers Acedia never had to say anything.Instantly the demon backed off with brief shock.As they all kept walking Kestrel could see part of her purple eyes as she glanced over to check on them.If keeping a trusting bond was what kept them from running away then why not play the part?It was obvious Rena was comfortable here,so keeping her comfortable would help with the plans with Kestrel.Those eyes of hers could practically see anything a person was feeling or their reactions.It was how she was raised as a assassin."Do not feel any worry.They all know their place and they will not hurt you.I am here to make sure you are to have protection.I made a promise to you Kestrel." Acedia insisted and looked briefly at the man.Seeing the look of curiosity on his face when they pasted the room where the Seventh Sanctum had been placed they moved onward.After Kestrel's questioning of this place being a dream Acedia looked at the two of them then gave a gentle smile seeing as she knew her queen would answer. ..it never makes us any stronger.

 Darkness grows and distorts our path...Rena had absolutely no clue as to what was going on or why. Add that to the fact that everything and everybody was moving so fast that she felt somewhat faint. Silent as she clung to Kestrel's side, she couldn't help but to scream as the boy - who was older than Kestrel yet apparently his son - stabbed a sword into his father's chest. If the conversations before disturbed her, this pretty much racked her nerves. Kneeling next to him, she wiped his bangs out of his eyes opening her mouth to ask if she should pull the sword out before the blond man entered the alley. Standing, she felt helpless to do the man harm yet knew she had to stand between him and Kestrel.
Not like she needed to do anything when Kestrel began to stir behind her only to stand before her. "How...?" she asked as she stared at him before she felt a vibration run through her body. Forgetting the world around her, her eyes locked on her weapon and she stared at it as though seeing it for the first time. To her it glowed powerfully, casting darkness to the side, the ultimate key to protecting her from her fear. Her hand reached out towards it until another woman showed up. The cast of this show was apparently going to flood in till they were overwhelmed with confusion, or at least she felt that way.
The newcomers, in Rena's mind, were not to be trusted. They made her feel as though they were the source of her darkness fear. Though Kestrel was weird by standing unharmed after being stabbed, her arm looped through his and she stood at his side. 'Don't trust them Kestrel.' She willed her thoughts to him, but instead the opposite happened. He made a deal that involved her that she didn't know about and before she caught the gist of the conversation, they all went to the pit of darkness. Letting out a yelp of fear, her grip on Kestrel tightened to the point she was surely cutting off his circulation. Closing her eyes, she imagined a beach with its sunny delight all around her as she walked in the direction Kestrel did.
'What's that?' she thought to herself as the vibration from before was felt again. Opening her eyes, they were passing a room where the luminous weapon was taken. Reaching her hand out slightly towards it, it vanished from its darkened room and went into her palm in the form of a small mirror. She felt electrocuted without the pain as it touched her hand and her fear subsided. Placing the mirror in her pocket, she glared at the woman before them. She was less trustworthy than the one oozing with power. "They might know their place amongst your hierarchy, but in darkness lies swarm constantly so just keep your eyes in front and finish taking us wherever it is you are taking us."
The tone of her words shocked her, for they were calm and authoritative, but her arm unwound from Kestrel's and clasped his hand in hers as she took in their surroundings. There had to be some way to escape this gloom and doom place... We must now wait for the light to reshine and guide our way.

 The weak can never forgive...
Suspicions started to rise in Kestrels head very quickly. Maybe he should have listened to Rena when she told him not to go with the woman. Why would they need to be protected if they were in a safe place? He still felt the presence of the sword and it made him feel a little safer. He followed Pandorous through the castle and saw as Rena claimed a weapon for herself. The weapon that the man had shown her earlier was now a mirror in her hands. The light from it stinged him a little, but not very much. That worried him. What kind of creature had he become. Pandorous still hadn't given him any answers. As they walked through the castle he stopped. "Where are you talking us?" asked Kestrel as he stood in front of Rena. Pandorous with an annoyed voice turned around placing her hand on her hip. "To the torture chamber. I want you to suffer a bit before I kill you" she said laughing a bit. "Just kidding" she said turning back around. "We are going to show the people of this realm that their ruler has returned. Kestrel stood surprised. "Ruler?" he said following her. She didn't talk anymore as they all phased through a wall together and he looked out over the kingdom. They were very high up.
Pandorous looked down at her subjects waiting for Kestrel to do the same. He looked down amazed at the number or people that were there. "Hello my fellow demons! It looked like Vesperus has finally decided to show his face here again!" she said laughing. Kesrel looked at her quickly. "Vesperus?" he said. She walked over to him and picked him up by the collar holding him over the edge of the castle. "Vesperus. You in your past life. The fool who chose love over power!" she said. "Still you chase after the queen of light! I thought you would have learned your lesson..." she said as her claws on the hand not holding him extended. "But I can't kill you or you'll just be reborn somewhere else. But atleast I can make it so that you can't use that damn sword. She went to stab for his arm and Rena charged forward, but couldn't make it before the sound of tearing flesh was heard. But it wasn't Kestrel flesh that was torn. Ashe stood in front of his father. Coughing up blood as the dark queen's nail impaled his lung. He quickly went and bit the hand grabbing Kestrel and Pandorous let him go as he fell off the side of the castle. Rena ran to the edge of the castle looking to Kestrel as he fell.
Ashe kicked off the edge taking Pandorous with him as it didn't seem she put up a fight. Suddenly she spread her wings and slammed Ashe into the ground and placed a heel on his throat. "Pathetic..." she said as she waved a hand severing off his head with a green wave. Kestrel fell reaching out for a ledge. Grabbing it he felt a sharp pain is his shoulder as it pulled. Pandorous grinned as she started running up the wall towards him as he struggled to pull himself up.
...Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.

When the darkness bounds us to lost memories..Watching as her demoness queen decided to hang him over the edge.With her eyes locked on Kestrel her hearing followed Pandorous.Her words seemed to bother her but she restrained herself from showing any concerns she might have.Rena who looked like she was about to help him had already been stopped by Acedia's arm.The light this girl had seemed to tweak her curiosity but that too was thrown aside.
As the little surprise jumped from out of nowhere and Kestrel went over board Acedia darted forward in a quick movement.With her great balance and agility she managed to stop on the edge of the castle.Thinking that the queen was going to help him her mind switched to defensive as she realized the demoness wanted to do more than that.Kestrel needed to live for now and she was going to ruin their plan.Instantly before Pandorous could reach him and he could blink,he saw a white blur cross his eyes.Before they both could think about what had just happened Acedia had launched him and herself back up on the castle top.Her delicate arms wrapped around Kestrel like a guardian.If she was to keep with her mission she would still have to keep her promises,including being his blade."I will not let you die,for I am your blade..even if it kills me." she whispered in his ear.Acedia made sure Pandorous didn't hear her this time cause she knew that in a strange way..she truly did have to watch over this man...
..it never makes us any stronger.

 I may not know what lies on the path ahead,Rena was more than glad that the mirror in her pocket helped her fear of darkness subside. That fear would only have been a hindrance to her in the moments ahead, especially when the Queen turned to them and commented about the torture chamber. Though Kestrel still followed, Rena knew things were only getting worse. The ladies near them were not to be trusted whatsoever. They were as trustworthy as the loyalty of a rabid dog. And though she could hope their bite was not as bad as their barks, the time after phasing through the wall proved her utterly wrong.
Listening to words drip with disdain from the Queen's mouth, the climax to their little walk was starting to be unveiled. "Let him go!" she shouted as the Queen grabbed hold of his collar. Frustration overwhelmed the normally calm girl, for she knew not what to do for she was powerless compared to the maniac before her. Charging forward as claws extended, she slid to a stop as the sound of flesh ripped. It was only of the man who claimed to be Kestrel's son, but the sight was gruesome for the innocent girl. Tearing her eyes away, she ran towards the ledge, careful not to fall off as Kestrel fell.
Opening her mouth to shout for him, Rena was stopped by a whirlwind of white hair that miraculously saved Kestrel. The same whirlwind wrapped her arms around him and that pushed Rena's emotions overboard. Anger and territorialness overwhelmed her senses as her newly formed powers began to surge. She didn't know what was going on other than the fact that her skin started to glow in and out with a blinding light. Not like she cared at the moment. "I don't know what is with you women, but keep your filthy hands off of him!" she said as she grabbed Acedia's arm, digging her nails into the demoness's skin and letting her light, unknowingly, flow into the demoness as she tried to pull her away from Kestrel.
Finally pulling Acedia away with an unknown strength, she pulled Kestrel behind her as she stood protectively between him and the women. Her emotions were still running rampant through her, almost as fast as her mind trying to figure out why she was acting so vehemently. It was out of character for her, and though she knew she should feel ashamed of her behavior, she felt rather at peace with her own malign behavior. In fact, she felt rather proud of pulling the woman away. Too bad that pride didn't snuff out her out of control power. but I do know that I will not let anyone stand in the way of my light.

-Kestrel- Kestrel stood behind Rena confused. So much was happening at once, and for some strange reason he felt like he belonged here. He felt he was supposed to trust these people, but he didn't. He fought the urge to believe them an longer. Rena was the only one there that had his trust. As he stood glad to feel something beneath his feet he looked at Rena. She was glowing, It only stung him a little bit as if the light wasn't meant for him, but meant to protect him. He smiled. "Thanks Rena...sorry I got you into this..If we get out of here I'll get you some chocolate or something" he said smiling. Looking around he heard the clacking sound of high heels. He knew that queen was approaching and she wouldn't be pleased. He turned to where he heard the sound and focused on the sword from before as it appeared in his hands. From above he saw a bright light. Raising his hand to shield his eyes he saw five dragons diving down.
"Not what we need right now..." he said tightening the grip on his sword. The blonde man from before landed next to him as four more people landed behind him. Vesperus gritted his teeth that were stretched to fangs. "Aithorn!" he yelled before he knew what he was saying like he knew the man for years. "Vesperus..." he replied unsheathing his sword. "Why do you keep calling me that?!" he said ready to defend himself. Aithorn shook his head. "You'll accept it when the time comes" he said looking behind him. before he was knocked into a wall. "Get your clean shoes off my dirty floor!!" screamed Pandorous as she stepped onto the roof. The head knight stood in front Aithorn drawing his sword as lightning danced on the blade. Pandorous smirked as she broke her knuckles. She dashed towards him and spun once kicking him off his feet and kneeing him into the air. Razta dashed into the air and threw him to a different part of the roof. Then he took fighting stance. "I will be your opponent" said Razta to the knight.
Aithorn rose to his feet and dashed at the demoness, and clashed sword with her claw. Amore ran to Kestrel and Rena. "You'll be fine if you come with us!" she said. She glanced at the two of them and sighed. "You come with us too Kestrel". Kestrel put away his blade. "Doesn't sound like the best invitation, but it will do." said Kestrel. "Anything is better than this place." The three ran to the dragons that were perched on the roof. Amore's dragon would carry all three of them. Taking off back towards the ceiling they vanished into light. Aithorn smiled looking at Pandorous. "Alright pull out we are done here!" he yelled. As he said it Pandorous grabbed him and chucked him off the roof. "You'll pay Aithorn" she said leaping after him. She spun and slashed with a claw. Aithorn took out a stone and extended wings as it glew. Drawing his second sword he met the dark queens attack. Kai kicked Razta back from their stand off and got on his dragon that flew by as he followed Amore's dragon.
The others followed him, and Aithorn dragon tore him away from the battle and into the light of the portal that closed as he entered it. Pandorous quick shot darkness at the dragon injuring it, before it reached the portal. She flew back to the castle as Razta landed next to her. She punched him through a wall and looked at Acedia angrily. "That was very foolish..." she said as she extended her claws. "Did you forget I know everything that happens in this castle?" she kicked Acedia into a wall and stabbed a hand of claws into her shoulder. "You side with Vesperus...or me what's it gonna be?" she said as she readied her other claw aimed for her heart. "Decide."

When the darkness bounds us to lost memories..As she placed Kestrel down a faint sadness shown upon her face as she knew the consiquence that was soon to come across her for her actions.In the long run she knew it would help her if he were to relinquish Pandorous from her reign.From this point the assassin knew she had to play both ways if she were to be able to survive the clashing of powers.With a sudden jolt a gasp came from Acedia's lips just after Rena gripped her arm which instantly made her release Kestrel from her arms as he could feel the struggle of her hand to keep a hold.Pulling away from the queen of light she jumped a few feet towards Kestrel after being thrown but made sure she was out of range of Rena's grip.Was Rena finally releasing her powers?
The assassin's gaze turned to Rena with shame as the way she was acting towards her actions."You do not understand Rena,but my words are just venom to you now..there is no point in trying to reason." she said referring to saving Kestrel's life.Then she turned to the man."I am sorry that you feel this way Kestrel." she said to him as though she really was.Out of all people Acedia knew that he could see she wasn't lying to him but it couldn't stop him from being convinced that he shouldn't be here.
Just then Aithorn arrived with all his glory and a spontanious fight began.Without hesitating two blades slid into the assassin's hands from her sleeves as she jumped in front of Amore.Those purple eyes of hers staring into hers with imense concentration.Something inside her mind told her to let them run...As she jumped in front her blades met Amore's but held no force.Acedia was not not intending on harming her at the moment.Her mind went elsewhere,which was a dangerous thing to do.Once she heard the woman say they would be fine her eyes turned to Kestrel only.Pandorous would kill him if he stayed here now.In her thoughts she realized that Kestrel has to live for the time being.Something was telling her that it wasn't right.With thier responses she let a quiet sigh out and carefully brought hers and Amore's weapons down as though showing her she wasn't going to threaten her,which was quite odd, then jumped away in a blink of an eye."Vesperus..." she whispered to herself as though lost in thought.
After they left Acedia stood beside Ratza in silence with emptiness in her eyes.From her obvious facial expressions he could see something was troubling her,but just as she noticed him examining her look she threw on her usual facade of calmness.Only Razta of all the demons here was her outlet to her emotions.Just as Pandorous flew in she glanced at her blow to Ratza then instantly felt a thretening vibe towards herself.Those piercing eyes showing no sign of regret for anything she had done even when the queen stared her down.Her stillness seemed to bother the demoness since she decided to extend her claws.Standing without posing any threat or sign of reaction must have really angered her.Next thing she felt was a surge of pain rush to her shoulder.A short groan of pain released from her mouth but she still refused to react.She knew this would happen.From her side she could see Razta watching the scene go down but then stared directly into her queens eyes."I am with you my queen." she stated with such calmness that it was like she couldn't feel the coarsing pain in her shoulder.The claw aimed for her heart didn't seem to faze her as her eyes kept hold of Pandorous's.
..it never makes us any stronger.
