Vergil Crawford - Mansion Hallways - Tinsdal

"Well, a list of probable locations to where they would take your parents should be a decent start, apart from that, there is nothing else that I could think of. But any contributions that you could make, would be most appreciative. Speaking of, how would the **** know we'd want to meet them anyway?" Vergil remarked, commenting about the suspicious nature of the question posed.

"Hold up, we've arrived at the front entrance, be careful though, they might have one or two surprises hidden outside, so move with caution; I mean, we don't want to come this far, and fail now." He then added jokingly, as he spoke in a quiet voice.

Lorel Ion ? Dean?s Mansion - Tinsdal

Minutes later?

Lorel began to awake, there was a roaring pain over his body and looked down and noticed there was some blades sticking out of his legs. It was an attack. He tried to look around but saw no one, and so he began to crawl ever so slowly. As his vision cleared he noticed people in dark robes near where everyone was, their voices were loud but he couldn?t make out any talk.

As he crawled closer, blood staining the ground where he went, their voices began to get louder and louder and clearer. ?Dean? Dean? It is horrible that it had to come to this!? One spoke who was wearing a dark robe but had blue swirls over and was obviously the leader.
Lorel noticed that not everyone was there, Vergil, Telnor, and Vessel weren?t present, but Itsuka, Velen, Mizuki, and Scarlett were there, as with some others.

The Dean was sitting, a blind fold over his face. ?Maxris? Why? The North is a peaceful place!?

?Jastis? I have no idea why you decided to keep us away for so long? Mages and Regular?s will never coexist. We the Mages Order, now will take over the North and kick out any person without magic!?

His fellow men cheered, they were the opposite of Mage Hunters who fought to kick out Mages, and the Mages Oder seemed to wish to kick out anyone who wasn?t a Mage. He could see Velen, Itsuka, and Mizuki all tied up with everyone else as well. He didn?t understand why they would leave him?

Malina who was being held down, wished ever so to break out of the man?s grasps and user her advantage of being a Vampire to easily kill him, but her father told her not too. Lorel didn?t know what to do, was he to run or surprise attack? But the pain in his legs as he looked over. Slowly he began to take out the blades in his legs, and the blood spewed out over his new leggings.

Behind a hedge, he stood up so he couldn?t be seen. Was the rest of the District aware? Lorel despite his pain, and the strange easing feeling of the blood touching his skin, ran out towards Maxris who noticed him coming before he arrived and tripped Lorel who fell down onto the cobble ground. He tried to use his magic but it was being blocked, he noticed the markings were getting larger.

?Why is this one still alive? But he seems injured.? Maxris said.

?It?s because he is the Ion boy, I assumed he could be used to bargain with. Didn?t think he would be awake so quickly. After the beating we gave him, he should have been out for hours. Not minutes. In fact, we could use him as for bait to give us leverage in the Middle? Said another Mage Order member.

?Member Oxris, we shall not be doing that. We?re not going to bargain, we do by force. No compromises.? Then Maxris took out a large blade. ?I maybe a Mage but I can?t deny my love for bladed weapons.?

Lorel jumped back up and turned and ran at Maxris, believing he could take him on. Just as Lorel was going to tackle him, Maxris side-stepped and then gashed the blade into Lorel, and quickly and but digging in deep slashed and blood began to fly everywhere.

Malina screamed. ?Lorel!?

Lorel fell to the ground, his vision was quickly fading, and he looked down where he noticed some organs were sticking out. This is it? As he fell forward onto the ground, a blood pond being created around him.

?Now that annoyance is out of the way, let us continue. Dean, I will not harm you or your other party goers, if you agree to relinquish your power, and announce us as the new heads of the North.?

Maxris said as he gave a proud look at all of his other members who didn?t share the same expression. ?What is wrong-? Suddenly he was silenced. In a burst of blood, they watched as a fist erupted through Maxris?s head instantly killing him.

Velen looked at the ground. ?No..! It happened. Fuck!?

The fist receded and the body of Maxris fell to the ground. That?s when they saw him, Lorel was standing, but there was a bit different, his hair was suddenly rougher, and was blood red, his eye?s the same, and the red blood markings all over his face. They then notice there was no longer a pond of blood and the blood was cleared up.

Suddenly Lorel began to laugh but that?s when they noticed it, his voice was no longer his own it was like a mix of Lorel?s and older man if they were speaking the same line at the same time. ?Finally? I am free!?

All of the Mage Orders began to charge up their spells, but then they noticed small red speaks from the ground rise and then quickly fly at each of their faces and a large amount of blood splattered over their faces. ?Blood?? One of them spoke.

Suddenly their heads erupted in a galore of guts and gore, when Malina looked up their was not even a head left remaining. The blood fell over her but she was able to shake off the man?s grasps. Quickly one of the people ran over to the Dean and removed the blind fold.
He then saw Lorel. ?Lorel? What did you do??

?Lorel?? the bloodied man spoke and then laughed again. ?Lorel is dead, I am not the inheritor of this body! I am the Dark Blood God Gemsi!?

The name echoed throughout the Garden, specifically the Dark and God parts. ?No it can?t be! How!?? The Dean yelled.

?Oh, you don?t know?? Gemsi spoke. ?One of you already knew and hoped it wasn?t going to happen.? Gemsi then pointed out Velen.

?Velen Majl? He saw the hints over the past days and was even there when it happened!? He yelled.

The Dean and everyone looked at Velen.

Then the Dark God proceeded. ?It was sixteen years ago, when Lorel was still in the womb. He was going to die, and I offered a choice to the Ion?s. If I were to take control of Lorel, I could save him, at the price of me controlling him. The Ion?s weren?t dumb, but they accepted, I had no idea what they had planned. Soon after they saw that he was going to live, they used a Light God Spell to block me. To this day it is unknown where they got the spell, but they did and I was locked away, until now? Over the years the barrier broke, and even a few days ago I even was finally able to take control of Lorel for a moment and beat two large creatures in the caverns. But that final attack just now, broke the barrier and I was able to take control!?

None of them could believe what they heard. ?How, why did you choose Lorel!?? He heard a girl speak, who he looked over and saw it was Mizuki.

?Mizuki Ion? Are you that surprised? If anything, you and Itsuka should be the least surprised. After all,? He picked up the mask that she was wearing, the one that was black and a white line down the middle. ?It?s not the first time you have encounter a Dark God, in fact, it was he who had you kidnapped and inserted Magic into you. The Master I believe his name was, this is one of the masks of his minions. It was eleven years ago that you had fought the Dark God. Velen, you specifically drew your blade which had been drenched in Mizuki?s blood and slayed the Dark God.?

Velen then yelled. ?That is true, but Dark Gods as I have noticed, have a sort of vendetta against the Ion family! Why!?

?That? I can?t tell you.? He said with a smirk. ?I could but honestly, I just don?t feel like it.? With that said he grabbed Mizuki.

?Good bye.? Suddenly a mountain of blood circled the two. ?See you soon.? The blood came down on them and then just splashed into the ground as there was no one left.

Lorel Ion ? Somewhere Else?

He fell to the ground and suddenly noticed all whiteness, for the past few minutes he could hear what the Dark God was saying and he was dumbfounded, he had no idea that it was true. Another secret... Lorel stood up and noticed there was nothing, only complete emptiness.
?Am I dead or is this a sort of other realm..?? He said trying to comprehend what had just happened. The Dark Blood God Gemsi had been inside of him this whole time, and the markings of blood on his body that appeared were signs of the barrier breaking down.

Was this his end? Killed by a force unknown to him..? Tears ran down his eyes, he had failed? And now the world would be subjected to a Dark God?

Suddenly he noticed a door appeared, it had no back to it, and there was no wall, just a door. ?Is this? The way out??

He said as he opened it and a blinding shot of light overcame him.



Back at the party

No one knew what to do, everyone began to help each other, the Mages had killed a good amount people and good amounts were injured. Itsuka looked at Velen. ?You KNEW! You didn?t say a thing! How could you! Now look what we were in!? Lorel is gone and a Dark God has replaced him! And Mizuki is captured!?

Vergil Crawford - The Dean's Mansion (Front Entrance) - Tinsdal

Vergil signalled the group to move quietly as they reached the front entrance, as they passed through the doors, he could see the burning bodies of at least three guards lying across the floor.

"What in hell caused this?" Vergil asked himself, and noticed the pouches of Kiel fastened to their waists.
"Might as well help myself to a little something, after all, they ain't going to be needing where their going." He remarked, ending in a chuckle as he cut the pouches loose with his wrist blade.

After he cut the final pouch loose, the bodies slowly began to rise, a dead look could be seen on their faces. They slowly moved towards the group, but monetarily stopped, a deep, and malevolent laugh could be heard, echoing all around them. Vergil then drew his blades.

"Who goes there? Come out and show yourself!" He shouted, demanding the person to come forward.

"It seems... that my puppets... have found something to play with."

"Very well then... since you asked so nicely... I better make myself known." The mysterious voiced called in a raspy tone, as a imposing figure in dark grey robes, edged in purple, appeared from the shadows. There seemed to be a trail of black smoke following behind him, and a dark purple orb was clasped onto one of his bony, skeletal like hands.

"Who are you?"

"I... am Noctis... the Necromancer. I was... ordered by Master Maxris, to impede anyone who ventured outside the front entrance. It seems that the prey... has arrived." Noctis responded, laughing once more.

Lorel Ion ? Unknown

His eyes opened up, and he found himself looking up at a bright blue sky with only some clouds, and a gentle breeze blowing over him. The oxygen was clean and perfect; he looked around and noticed he was lying in grass. Lorel sat up and looked ahead, there was no City, and all he saw was endless fields that stretched out into forests and mountains.

?Where am I..? I walked through the door.? He said as he stood up and noticed that he longer had any of the bloody marks and was in perfect form, his clothes were even repaired.

He turned and noticed that he saw something beyond a forest, what looked to be a town. ?Well, guess I better try there.?

Lorel began to walk down the field, it was all so strange, he had lived in the City all his life, he had seen trees and grass but in such amounts it was almost unreal. After he blacked out, he had no idea what happened, all he remembered was waking up in the white abyss.

As he went down hills he arrived at the edge of the forest and he stopped. What was he going to find in there? His magic appeared to be not working, and there was always the chance of animals attacking him. This was all so new to him.

Not knowing what to expect, he stepped into the forest?

Scarlett Verneer - the capital of the north, Tinsdal


?I think she?s waking up.?

?So what??

?Scarlett? Scarlett can you hear me??

Scarlett groaned. She opened her eyes and found herself lying on the floor with the smiling face of Katelyn Verneer looking down at her. It seemed as if every part of her body was crying out in pain. Putting a hand to her head Scarlett tried to calm the throbbing of the migraine but failed.

?Hey sis.?

Sis?

Scarlett opened her mouth to vocalise the thoughts and threats occupying her mind only to find it dry and unresponsive. Katelyn reached down and put a friendly hand on her shoulder. It hurt like hell and she pulled back once she saw the squirming look on Scarlett?s face.

?Oh sorry! Don?t try and talk just get some rest, they beat you pretty hard??

?It?s only a shame they didn?t kill you.? Tear interrupted.

Scarlett turned her head ignoring the pain and followed the glaring look from Katelyn?s face until she caught sight of Tear sitting away from her. She was bound too and there were bruises on her face. Scarlett closed her eyes and tried to remember what had happened. She had resisted. Tried to kill a mage and talked back a lot. The mage carrying her had used some kind of invisible barrier magic to beat her to the ground. Repeatedly. When she could no longer get up he had used the barrier to press down hard and crush her lungs. Unable to breathe Scarlett had passed out. She had been made an example of.

?I?m going to kill you.? Scarlett finally spoke finding her voice.

Katelyn looked down widening her smile. ?Charming. You know he killed our mother right??

?Our??

?I?m your step-sister Scarlett but we should save this discussion for later. Now is not the time. We need to get out of here.?

?Right.? Scarlett sounded unconvinced. ?Help me up will you??

Katelyn reached down and helped Scarlett sit up. She could feel her hands where still bound. The two women listened into the resulting conversation and watched with horror at Lorel Ion?s hidden surprise.

?Blood magic and Dark Gods? wonderful? Scarlett mused aloud, sarcastically.

Lorel Ion ? Unknown

As he walked through the forest he marveled at it, there was so much natural life, no buildings, just nature. He began to wish that this was how it was back on his world. But he wondered, was he dead? Is that why he is fine and in this realm? After an hour of trekking through the forest, he began to arrive at the end of it, and the amount of tree?s decreased until he was once more in a field.

Lorel could see the town now; it wouldn?t be long before he was at its gates. It wasn?t a very advanced town, the houses were sufficed, but it was clean, similar to Upper District. As he traveled through the fields, he began to wonder what he would see in the town. Gods? Angels? Humans? The possibilities were endless.

He reached the town?s gates, and began to see people; they looked familiar like they were from the City, as if these were the long dead? As he stepped in suddenly he heard a voice. ?Hey!? It sounded young and then suddenly he saw someone jump down just ahead of him.
Where did she come from?

She stood up, she had a white hair, large blue eyes, a flower in her hair, and red markings over her face and she wearing what looked like a robe that was reddish pink. ?Who are you new comer?? The girl asked.

He didn?t know how to respond but he mustered up his name. ?Lorel, Lorel Ion. Where am I??

She looked stunned. ?Well? Lorel, it?s nice to meet you. I am Monica Ion, welcome to Jas?shan?ian, or as we call it, the Plains of the Dead.?

Vergil Crawford/Noctis (Necromancer)/Fiora De La Croix - The Dean's Mansion (Front Entrance) - Tinsdal

With a single sway of his hand, a small burst of energy knocked the boomerang out of the air, planting it into the ground.

"A pitiful attempt. For those who do not know, Necromancy, is the art of raising the dead. It is a very secret, and forbidden art."

"Necromancy isn't just raising the dead. It is also used in divination, whereby someone who is practised, like a Seer, can communicate with the souls of the deceased; so that they can bring comfort to the living."

"Do you know why raising the dead is a forbidden art? Because it disrupts the forces of nature and balance, it causes the ethereal and material planes to collide, causing all sorts of nightmarish horrors to come forth.
"

"Ah yes, the prattling nature of the Shadow Mage, how unfortunate Fiora, that you are destined to die this evening, you and your S.I.N Organization, would of been of great use to Maxris's plans, for a Regular free North." Noctis spouted in a cryptic manner.

"How dare you insult my mother, you flesh ridden corpse!" Vergil screamed, infuriated at Noctis's insult towards Fiora. Without hesitation, Vergil loaded Fenris with a armour piercing crossbow bolt, and aimed it right between the Necromancer's eyes. He then fired, the bolt went straight through his head, but the man still stood, laughing.

"Well well, that certainly was a valiant attempt, I admired your furiosity, you'll make a great puppet." Noctis cackled with glee as he started to lift Vergil in the air, chocking him in the process. The crossbow dropped from Vergil's grasp.

Vergil suddenly felt is neck loosed, and fell to the floor as Vessel finished smashing the necromancer's head in. He got up off the ground, only to be embraced by Fiora.

"Oh Vergil, I was worried for you. Sorry I couldn't do anything, I was frozen stiff." Fiora muttered, a tear rolling down her cheek.

"Its okay Fiora, I'm quite alright." Vergil replied, trying to catch his breath. He then turned to the Vessel.

"Thank you. Guess that makes us even in terms of saving each others life." He remarked with a smile.

Vergil then broke free of his mother's embrace, and grabbed one of the flaming torches nearby. He then marched over to the desecrated corpse of the necromancer, Noctis; fury in his eyes and voice.

"The only way to cure a plague, is to burn it." He said with fire in his eyes, as he threw the torch over the body, catching fire in a instant. As they watched the corpse burn, the glowing orb slowly got darker, then it became dark.

"Soffrire in dannazione eterna... bastardo." Vergil muttered under his breath.

Behind him, he could hear the sound of the dead guards collapsing, but this time in peace.

"It is done."

"No, this one acted alone, for a brief moment, our minds were linked, and I could only see him with such power. He has paid dearly for his arrogance, probably did not expect the actions you took. I must say Vessel, good job." Vergil remarked, placing an arm over the Vessel's shoulder. It was then that a bloodied man appeared out the front door, the some one that was part of the squad sent by Fiora.

" Master Aeon... thank goodness your still here. Something terrible has happened in the garden, no offence ladies, but this isn't for you."
The solider grumbled, gasping for breath as he clenched an open wound.

"You stay here. Vessel, see if you can't salvage this man. I'm going to see what the problem is." Vergil ordered as he ran back inside. A few moments later, he arrived to a scene of carnage.

There were bodies of all kinds, Mages, party guests of the Dean's, some bearing the armour that Telnor's squadron wore. Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted a man frozen in place.

"What happened to you?" Vergil asked the icy prisoner, not expecting a response. "Wonder where Telnor is?" He then wondered, remembering that the man in the ice was with him, just before they attacked.

Vergil then turned, and spotted that Scarlett had been bound, and was moved across the Garden by two women, one wore a grey ninja like outfit, whilst the other seemed familiar. He briefly scanned the blonde one with Shade's Vision, despite it still suffering some side effects from the flash grenade, he identified the other woman as Tear.

Vergil then calmly walked over to a chair near them, and sat down, putting his feet up on a table situated next to him. He spoke, attracting their attention.

"Well well well, look what we have here, didn't know you could pass yourself off as a blonde Tear, actually, it rather suits you. Then again, blonde and purple, make for an attractive combination." He remarked, a somewhat charming smile appeared on his face.

"It seems like you three are in a bit of bind, care for some, assistance?" Vergil asked, activating his wrist blade afterwards.

Scarlett Verneer - the capital of the north, Tinsdal

So all of this time Lorel Ion was hiding a Dark God? Tear looked a little confused and rested her chin on her knees to think for a short while. How on earth was she going to get out of this one? This would change the balance significantly if this Dark God decided to strike back at the middle district. Strike back. Tear smiled to herself. It was only a matter of time before she would get her revenge. She had been anticipating the moment. It had become all she could think about lately. Her masters death at the hands of that ***** Scarlett and the thief Vergil would not go unpunished.

A voice spoke. It sounded sicklily familiar. Vergil? Of course it was that thief! Tear opened her eyes and looked at him passively. No need to signal her intent too early. She could feel her stomach turning as he complimented her choice of hair colour. Blonde was functional and nothing more to her. The anger rising inside was like a fire burning through her heart and Tear scrunched her fists to avoid it?s premature release. She swallowed hard and forced her voice, still young and innocent, to remain that way.

?Well. Vergil. It?s nice to see you. Can you cut me free? These bindings hurt my hands??

Tear forced a smile. She wasn?t lying either. The rope had been bound quite tight and in all the commotion of been dragged and beaten by the mage it had cut through her skin and drawn blood.

Scarlett looked up at Vergil and offered him a weak smile. It was genuine and the best she could manage in her current state. ?Hey, enough with the chatting up.? Scarlett offered her bindings to be cut.

?Well now that you have your friends to take care of you I shall take my leave.? Katelyn smiled and stood up after making sure Scarlett was stable enough to sit upright her own. She offered Vergil a wider smile as she began to walk past him.

?Vergil don?t let her leave she killed Kalyn!? Scarlett shouted aloud.

"Right." Vergil quickly restrained the woman, and summoned one of the guards.

"What seems to be the problem sir?" He asked.
"This woman has killed Kalyn Vaalendeer. Take her away, and don't let her out of your sight."
"Of course sir. Right come this way miss." The guard ordered, as Vergil passed her over to the guards. She seemed to be struggling, but the guards kept a tight grip on her.

"Now then, with that settled." Vergil remarked coyly, as he walked behind Scarlett and Tear. As he went to cut Tear's bonds, he noticed a knife tucked into her clothes. He carefully removed it from Tear, whilst whispering something into her ear.

"Nice try Tear, I know you wanted to kill me for the death of Sera. But I still have some respect for you. What a charming voice you have, my little mignonnette, it is a shame upon myself that I couldn't hear it sooner. Now then, your bonds; there you go." Vergil remarked playfully, and with a affectionate laugh as with a single cut of his wrist blade, he severed Tear's bonds.

"One down, one to go."

Vergil briefly stepped sideways, and quickly severed Scarlett's bonds.

"There, it is done." He remarked, standing in front of them.

?Listen to me Vergil. I am going to kill you and Scarlett.?

The threat was clear in Tear?s voice. No amount of innocence could hide it. Without a word Tear spun around and began to walk away. Thanks to Lorel Ion and his little Dark God there would be a lack of guards tonight and an abundance of dropped weapons lying around the room. It would be perfect.

Scarlett rubbed her wrists. ?Thanks Vergil.? She watched Tear leave with a look of mistrust in her eye. ?Have you heard what happened to Lorel??

"I take it that that this dark god that resides within him, is the cause of this cavalcade of destruction." Vergil remarked, finding some weird pleasure amongst the chaos that happened here. He then started to disarm himself, placing each individual weapon down on the ground, afterwards, raising his hands in surrender.

"You do know that Sera only used people as a means to her own selfish end. She manipulated me; abandoned Scarlett, after the pair of them disagreed over the destruction of the city. And, oh yeah, she wanted to destroy The City, just so that she could rebuild it in her image. Sera only cared for herself, no one else mattered, she thought of herself as the best in the world."

"Consider what she did to you, she bound your voice in magic, made you her slave, how can you defend her after that. I do not see a slave in those green eyes of yours, no, I see a smart, beautiful young woman; someone who is better than Sera."

?Err? Vergil?? Scarlett looked a little confused as Vergil surrendered all of his weapons to Tear and raised his arms as a final gesture.

Tear stopped. She listened. He was correct and she knew it but that didn?t give him the right to take Sera from her. The anger was still there. And something else. Tear spun around and slowly walked towards Vergil. Maintaing eye contact she bent down and picked up the knife he had removed from her earlier. She studied the flat blade and ran her finger down the edge. It drew blood. She walked up to him and kept his gaze in her eyes.

?Vergil. I?m sorry.?

Scarlett quickly reached out and grabbed Tears arm before she struck. Twisting it the blade fell to the ground. The sound echoing in the room. Scarlett let go and pushed Tear back.

?Sera has a strong influence Vergil. Tear will need time to move on and to realise Sera for what she was??

Scarlett turned and looked Vergil in the eyes.

?Believe me, I know.?

Scarlett turned around and looked at Tear. A mixture of anger, grief and sadness in her face.

?Tear, come with me.? Scarlett remarked leading Tear through a near by door.

"Of course Scarlett, I understand. Take all the time you need. I'll go and see what floor I have to scrape Telnor off of." Vergil remarked with a solemn look on his face, as he moved away from the pair.

He surveyed the scene of carnage at the party. There seemed to be several missing pieces of the rail that hanged over the waterfront. Vergil went over and saw that a few scraps of material had stuck to the railing.

The material was leather in feel, and dark blue in colour, and seemed to have some unique pattern on them, but without a completed piece, he couldn't tell what it was supposed to represent. There also seemed to be a few scorch marks, obviously whoever the armour belonged too, was either caught in an explosion, or how by some powerful magic attack.

Vergil peered over the railing, and discovered Telnor in a very bad condition.

"Vessel! Come quickly, its Telnor, he's been terribly injured!" He shouted, hoping his voice would carry across the Mansion.

Vergil then leapt down from the railing, being careful not to injure Telnor any further. He quickly scanned the body.

" Major burns to the chest, obviously caused by a powerful fireball. Broken ribs and back, probably caused by the fireball's impact. Eyes, very hazy, almost blind; his ability must of triggered at some point in the attack. Medical condition: Critical."

With the utmost care and attention, Vergil carefully lifted Telnor's broken body, and placed him onto the upper ledge. He then gently carried him over to a nearby table that was long enough. He then recovered his weapons.

Lorel Ion ? Jas?shan?ian (Plains of the Dead.)

?What? I am sorry, but I? I can?t be dead! No! I hadn?t even killed Amelia Foel!? Lorel said as he fell to the ground.

Monica looked in shock at Lorel. ?Why would you want to kill a Foel? They?re our family?s greatest ally.?

He assumed then that they couldn?t see what was going on in the City. ?What year did you die?? Lorel inquired.

?August 3rd, 5766 at the age of 84.? She said as she saw him stand up.

?I am from the year 6268, and I believe it is almost 502 years later. A lot has changed since your time. While the Nobles may have actually been good upon their creation in 5700, but after your time the Nobles became a corrupt government and the Middle Section is in uproar and we?re at the brink of a third major city war. Our family the Ion family saw this eventually, though I don?t know who, and tried to rise against the Nobles in secret, until recently where Amelia Foel discovered this treachery and had my parents killed, which until recently made me believe to be the only Ion left alive, until I discovered I had a sister, but I died shortly thereafter.?

Monica sat down at a stone bench nearby and looked at the ground, barely able to hear what had happened to the Nobles, what they bled and sacrificed to create. Now it was nothing more than just a corrupt government, and its name now a farce. ?How did you die??

?A mage named Maxris attacked me when I was weak on the ground, my fault, I came out of cover to strike. He took a sword and slashed me, my organs literally fell out on the ground. But that?s when I blacked out, but then? Something happened.?

She looked up curiously. ?What happened??

?I woke up in a white abyss, but when I awoke, I had new memories of events that happened after I had been slashed. After I had died, my body rose and literally punched Maxris through the head and then threw his body away, and these blood marks that had been over my body got large and more abundant, and my hair and eyes turned blood red, I had released an evil? The Dark Blood God Gemsi had been inside of me all of this time and no one bothered to fucking tell me. So I died, and this Dark God now has control of my body. Apparently I was going to die when I was in my mother?s womb, a miscarriage, but then Gemsi made my family a deal, to spare my life if he inhabited my body, apparently they accepted and then got a hold of some God Magic to use to lock him away, but apparently all my blood urges over the years? It was because it had been breaking down until when I died and it broke and the worst part about it? Apparently even my Sister, whom is older than me, was also attacked by a Dark God called Master eleven years ago! Velen, a friend even yelled out before the memory stopped. ??but Dark Gods as I have noticed, have a sort of vendetta against the Ion family! Why!"?

Lorel then fell on his but on the ground and stretched his legs out. ?Why? Why? Me..??

Monica stood up and walked over to Lorel. ?It?s true? I have learned that our families since the dawn of our families lineage, has been plagued with Dark Gods attacking us. Even after death, this is unknown to us.?

?Us? You mean there is more Ion?s here??

Monica nodded. ?My Sister Ofila is also located here.?

?But if this is the Plains of the Dead, shouldn?t my parent?s be here? Or for that matter all Ions??

?Come with me, I shall explain everything.?
