The world beneath the moon and the stars is said to be a dead one. A place that is filled with barren landscapes, unforetold sorrows and many sorts of stories that are the sort of nightmares. Indeed, some could even argue that it is a place where the strong devour the weak. And, more to the point, perhaps all of those who inhabit the pale blue dot all have the seeds of madness placed within them from this world which is writhe and filled with negativity from all sides.

War, conflict, oppression, discrimination, poverty, genocide, prejudice, madness, disparities in hunger. The planet is filled and drowned in such sorrow -- and such lunacy. A discord that is as commonplace as the air itself; neither seen nor heard. That is the result, perhaps, of The Danava of Chaos and Madness coming to birth.

Consuming these instabilities as man devoured animal, the world had steadily became more and more chaotic throughout the years since her thrust to power. The outcome of destroying the barrier which separated the demon world from the human world, the death of the order which the old Queen brought and the freeing of demon kind to do as they place -- was almost a mission of peace. A deluded peace, but a peace none the less.

World peace? Maybe not for humans, but certainly for demon kind. Their power grew, numbers flourished and state of living ascended to the heavens themselves. Money became a thing of the past, the grasp of power became all but closer and the sense of unity came full circle. Yet, with it, there was a numbing void within the heart of demon world.

So -- they branched out to explore the known universe once the barriers of their world were broken by their Queen. Those newborn demons who discovered Earth filled it with the lingering scent of their rulers madness, while others sought to coexist and expand the reach of demon kind in a more orderly way. Yes, the twisting and turning that was the dance between chaos and order was always active. One cannot exist without the other.

Thus, between the boundaries of rationality and irrationality, the infinitely different and infinitely possible outcomes the same coin lay in existence. In the vast nothingness of space, this hollow place is where the fabled Goddess of Chaos now lay.

Everything was black, but with an adjustment of her vision, there was light. Celestial bodies figured brightened the horizon and there were numerous moons that filled the cosmic outline. Some were of fire, others were of darkness, many filled with light and some oozed the essence of life and death. For every concept, any sort of notion and most thoughts associated with madness -- was found in this void.

Within the deepest portions of space, billions of lightyears away from that of Earth, the birthplace of the original Danava of Madness and Lunacy is where Mana Asthavon hovered. Sealed off from the universe itself, not many had the knowledge or whereabouts of this location to conceivable find it; yet alone break into this nesting ground. This sacred place is where it all began for "her" and where it all "ends" for her.

Gazing up towards a moon filled with darkness and light, the balance between order and disorder was found. This is where the original flow of balance had found itself since the shift so many hundreds of years ago towards chaos. In it was the embodiment of peace that the former Queen of Demons sealed inside of it. Therefore, as she turned her sights further beyond that, a lunar vessel with crimson blood lights and shadows as dark as the night itself was above this moon. Nodding her head, this was the current Demon Queen's legacy sealed within. Chaos, Madness and all things tethered to these elements.

With both chaos and disorder in her grasp, the inevitable truth of the matter were that these forces would become one and absolve all else in their blinding collision. Order by disorder, freedom by imprisonment, life through death, peace through chaos. It is what her fabled creator believed in, and perhaps she herself was willing to oblige in. If only through the instinct within herself as a Danava and taking on The Demon God's own own disillusioned beliefs in this vortex that absolved all madness into her own being.

So with this knowledge of the world in her mind, The Queen of Demons took flight. Infusing these two moons together would bring about something revolutionary throughout the globe. Dashing through time and space, all of it became a blur filled with trillions and trillions of stars -- until she emerged out of a shadow gateway that brought her above air-space of The United States Of America.

[CHANGE SONG HERE]

In this moment, the sight of the gleaming blue jewel that was earth seemed to be an alluring red glow in the vision of Mana Asthavon. Why, out of all the stars in the sky, was this planet so -- enchanting? Could it be the influx in supernatural creatures? The vast wealth of chaos that originated in this world? The birthplace of her own body? Who knows.

With but a sigh, the planet would feel a colossal shift. Tapping into the reservoir of bountiful energy from the core of demon magic, Mana was planning on delivering a massive telepathic message could be heard by far and wide to those whom desired to hear and listen to her words.

'Ye world filled with strife, ye souls consumed by night; if one wishes to become truly freed, gaze into the moons light. Heavy with the minds despair, I will shoulder your madness and absolve you into release. The laws of disorder and order have united, and peace will be found through chaos. So stare, stare at this magnificent light if you wish to see our truth and become unbound as we demons have become."

Echoing those words into the consciousness of the globes mind, The Demon Queen let out a soft sigh and soon unveiled something from the darkness of the night. Coming forth between the sun and the earth, the dawning of a second moon came to be. Splattered in red, black, white and gold patches; these colors comprised the new planetoid mass, while the edges of this celestial body let off trails of white flames from all sides like a burning inferno from hell.

"The beginning and the finale....are an endless loop. A tiny tear will grow to swallow the entire fabric of it all. The full moons lake will burst its dam and shower all in its depths." Clenching her fist, a powerful stench of demon magic came in the air. Following this spark, the moon growned and the entire planet below its feet may very well buckle and feel the weight of its roar.

For moments after that shift, the planetoid mass started producing numerous smaller moons across countries where Shadow Fall reigned dominant. They were placed high in the sky for all to pay tribute to and witness. Even more so, it wasn't just limited to these regions.Within Demon World, the Soul Society, Hueco Mundo and other places were demons thrived -- these moons would appear as they traveled through the darkness of space and found themselves into these separate dimensions.

"Eclipse, eclipse, under the sky; shatter these chains and boundaries into a million shards of light. Sweet beautiful eclipse, let your loving rain down upon all and wash these vile sights, horrid sounds and terrifying nightmares away in your warm light."

Under those words, the activation of her plan went into motion. The surges of lunacy from The Danava smothered these worlds and they could feel this change coming. "So in this festival of absolution, let the completion of The Moonlight Ritual become complete. If one desires the blessings of the moon, gaze upon these stars and let it all wash away to find harmony."

"Humans, Demon's, Hollow's, Shinigami's and all those who exist are welcomed to join us in this ceremony of release....so let us make marry and feast upon this light!"

And so -- those who had urges of wanting to be freed this world, the suicidal, the sick, the mad and rejected spirits of the globe stared upon the moon with these thoughts in mind. In this moment, the madness pulsated like a damning roar and beat to life like a persons heart. For those who were of weak will, or surrendered themselves to this madness, they'd soon find all of their worries evaporating into thin-air.

Reports of euphoria and bliss throughout the people affected by this spelled were heard in varying places in the globe and beyond at first. Some were freed of ambitions, others noted their psyche were entirely erased and some filled with warmth that left many dazed and in a dead chuckling fit. In fact, in some lands, those who partook in the eclipses shine had even stopped battling each other outright as their wrath, rage and desire for war died off like a flame.

Living creatures soon could find themselves becoming more -- liberated -- from their very own mind and psyche. The foundations of a persons very spirit were noted in some individuals to become broken and the very essence of these peoples souls became unbound. This led to some dying and being released into the final layer of hell for eternal nirvana, while others expanded the depth of their potential without a physical body to limit them anymore. They had become -- infinity.

However, in other beings, this liberation became far more violent. The shackles of the subconscious had been broken and the true essence of a person was freed to come to the surface. No longer bound by their rationality, this disorder allowed for them to express their instincts and urges without the restraint of the conscious mind. Thus, reports of truly depraved individuals started to come to the surface as they began the process of eating, killing and harming those who had surrendered themselves under the moonlights descendant.

But it was ok -- for they all saw the end coming. The end which would bring them to the warming embrace of Hell's Allure and Hell's Nirvana. This pharse was chanted throughout the globe. They all could see the eternal peace beyond the pain which was life. Everything ached now, and there were chains that had bound their souls in this life, but it was all transient and fleeting as a comets trail in the night.

"All light, life, existence; nay, everything is as ephemeral as a supernovas inevitable burst which fades into the cold, black, silent-- infinite and final night."

With those words, more and more of the consciousness on Earth, the Soul Society, Demon World and other realms attached to them became aware of just how fleeting life was and what truly awaited in the abyss of the 666th layer of hell. The overflowing love that The Demon God had in store for all had made life -- inconsequential. And through this nihilistic birth, they found freedom from it all.

Just what had The Demon Queen unleashed into the world? Some would say: "Salvation". With the will of The Demon God backing her, was she really a Goddess at this point bringing release to the world from its sorrow filled toxins?

The thread below is a news update for this thread. It should help clarify some things in the post above.

Balance, Order, Eradication, those three things were fighting around in Kakeru's origin, with Order keeping Eradication in check for the most part, but noticing the changes in the world make his Order go oh shit time to roll out. His eyes looked up into the space, and immediately Power of Order set in hard, making sure that he wasn't being affected by the space time thing, noticing someone outside in the world of space. Odd enough the moon looked strange to him, but he didn't comment on that just yet that would of been a foolhardy thing to do at this moment in time. The Embodiment of Order and Eradication was moving his way into the skies, and he looked at the earth wondering how it would affect humans. That was the thing at the moment that was bothering him was why was this happening now. It was odd that there was a new sensation going on called the religion of Khala or someshit like that, he heard about it only briefly, but it bothered him enough that he was doing some research, but not too much was able to be attained at that time. Digressing he had a lot to do, and that meant he had to deal with this issue of Mana affecting the Order and balance of things at the moment. Even the core of Eradication was resonating hard within his soul. Something just told him to go up there and talk to her, see what was going on and react to that situation.

He'd calmly rise to the point where Mana was as his eyes shined a bright emerald color as he stared at the Queen of Demons. He remained calm and civil as he took a moment to pick his words carefully, he didn't want to start a war that would be bad, and cause a battle here in space wouldn't be too bad, but he had a feeling if he started fighting her it would end pretty badly for the both of them. So that option was off the table hopefully for the most part. For someone so lithe and child like she had a fuckton of power, and that was one the foremost things he noticed about Mana, she had real power, not claimed power, but power of a royal sense, and Kakeru noticed that right away. She seemed too reserved at the moment to seem like she would fly off the handle to attack him, so maybe that was something that was going for him at the moment she wasn't in a manic mode, she was in a calm mode it had appeared to him, but he wasn't sure and he had that gut feeling this was a delicate situation. Something within him just said speak your mind, but do it in a way that's not outright offensive like you would in the Sugiuran councils. So taking a breath then releasing it he'd speak softly, calmly, with a focused tone at the Queen of Demons.

"You must be Mana Asthavon, I'm Kakeru Leonhardt, the keeper of Order within the worlds, and the thing you're doing is upsetting that balance, but in a sense you're taking the negitivity away, and that removes the balance of the human race psyche. Which is a dangerous thing to do as is, I want to know why you're doing a thing like this now." Something did tug at him though a feeling of sadness, he couldn't place it why it was coming out, maybe it reminded him of something. He'd take a breath and shift his weight a bit being in range of her, but at the same time able to move. A storm was forming figuratively, and he couldn't place why it was there brewing up, but it was there. Something told him that this sudden increase in Mania was Mana doing something, that could be good, or bad depending on the situation, but he wasn't sure at the moment which it was. So He'd wait and see how she'd react for the mean time. Kakeru he was wearing his usual clothing which consisted of his blue sleeveless jacket with the sleeves kind of like tassels at the moment, the black undershirt, the white gloves, the black pants, the royalty boots, and Yukianesa in his right hand. How he held it gave him the sense of a guardian more than someone looking for a battle. He seemed focused and controlled so the focus was all on her.

There was something deeper within him though that was resonating with the mania and that was the Eradication, it craved this connection to the void and it looked like the void was wanting this connection so it was already starting up trouble, and Kakeru forced it down because he had to focus, because he didn't know how this outcome could go. It was all in the winds, well figurative winds, they were in space, and so that meant there was no wind, but there was the sense of place within both of the people here so far. It was obvious that Kakeru wanted to know more than try to accuse her, and he hoped that his expressions and body language would convey that message better, if his words didn't convey it properly then he hoped that his body would, because that hopefully would avoid the need for them to fight it out. His hope that it wouldn't happen was his focus, because he wasn't in a fighting mood, and he was doing this for not only order, but for balance. So why was she doing this, what was her intent, is she helping or hurting the Humans, how should he proceed, what was his purpose in being here, was this tight course of action, was this calling to protect the Earth now that he didn't have a family to protect. All of those questions were filling his mind. He wanted to take a moment to run away and breathe, but he would face the demons so to speak now.-

Hovering in the vast nothingness of space, it seemed not a single soul dared to oppose The Queen. It felt hollow, yet it so right as well. Obviously, her strength was menacing and pushed all others away who had the audacity to rebel against her rule. Yet, even in her most foul of moments, armies of the worlds strongest beings from dimensions all over threw themselves at The Ruler of Demons following each invasion that brought her closer and closer to this pinnacle of chaotic might she found herself at today. A power that stood upon the throne of The Gods and isolated The Demoness from the world below her feet. It made her ponder if this absolute power was the thing she was thirsting for, or perhaps -- something more.

Bah, it didn't matter. This darkness that spiraled all around them would one day sure enough lead them to the depths of the void and time for such thought would no longer be required in that end. After all, she herself stated that this was all game. A game where she desired to reach the topmost peak, win and fall into a silent and peaceful demise after; to meet the true end by Death's touch. So maybe, just maybe, The Queen was reaching her end-point and entering into the final stage. The points were stacked and she was one of the highest rankings players in the world; if not one of the best ranked players in existence.

Yet, like the sight of a new challenger flashing across the glare of screen, the pull of a heavy power soon approached the vicinity of The Demon Queen. Crashing across her senses, the taste of balance filled The Demoness's tongue akin to a medium-rare steak, the smell of a heavenly warm aura filled her nostrils and the sensation of order meshed against her outpouring of chaos and disorder.

"You've finally come...."

Those were all the words that needed to be stated to express the sentiment within Mana's body. A force was quivering within her and it felt ecstatic pleasure from meeting her quintessential antithesis. There was a lingering anxiety behind it; for it was within her demonic nature to feel such uneasiness around her polar opposite. Yet, the overwhelming majority of Mana's conscious mind looked forward to such a new and invigorating experience. Indeed, one could also call it fate that they'd meet in this empty land of chaos and order. They were the yin and yang of the universe; so it was inevitable that two frontrunners of Discord and Balance would meet in such a grand setting.

"...hehehe, brother."

In that hushed giggle, the faint voice of Feraki echoed out of Mana's mouth. Yes, that indeed was yet another factor in them meeting. The blood of a Leonhardt flowed quietly beneath the maddening blood of Mana's demonic origins. Containing the last remains of Feraki's and Asmo's soul inside of herself, The Seal of Grievous took on a portion of the Ziamichi's soul when she was slain. In doing so, The Demoness allowed for the damaged spirit of Feraki to take on life within her very soul; nurturing her and feeding the new, rebirthed vessel of both Demon and Sugiura as her own blood.

Thus, by the time the male was behind The Demonic Queen, The Demoness turned herself around in a mere blink of the eye and greeted him with the warmest of smiles. Memories of Feraki buzzing in her mind, the recollections of a soul long passed played within her mind. In this moment, many visions of Kakeru, Feraki and Ketheldrein at slumber and peace danced within the barren mindscape of The Asthavon's consciousness. Warm memories, happy thoughts, loving bonds; all of these tends intermixed into the fondness that The Sugiura had for her twin. Nigh, it outright reminded The Demoness of her own affection that she had for her own sister; so through her desire to serve and protect her family, there was a portion of Mana's heart that was indeed open to The Leonhardt. In this way, it further cemented their fated connection that much deeper before a single word was ever exchanged between the two.

And with this heavy bond weighing on her heart, the impulse from Feraki drove the circuits of Mana's body to become sparked with new life. Filled with the desire of the long-dead Sugiura, the affection still brewing within her soul caused The Demon Queen to embrace The Leonhardt in a soft hug. In that moment, the auras became further blurred and more feminine giggles emitted from the spiritual energy vibrating from Mana's very embodiment.

"I've known who you are for quite some time. Can't you feel it? The pull of our very existences have brought us together above the stars of the billions of souls that lay below our feet, 'sugah."Although her voice still had traces of sadness within it, the perky manic step was still very much alive within her tone of speaking. And what was further perplexing had been the fact that faint whispers of Feraki and Asmo's still lay hidden beneath her tongue. Yearning, aching and desiring to so behold Kakeru in her loving grasp.

But, of course, Mana knew this was only those duo of spirits doing the talking~

Her beloved only belonged to Ashlei and Ashlei alone.

"As for matters of balance? Worry not! I've no desire to cease the entire planet in destruction and chaos"Pointing her right index finger towards the beautiful blue sphere that was Earth, Mana directed Kakeru's attention to the pale blue dot as a reference to what she meant.

"If I wished for such a thing as destruction to be birthed into the world, I'd have already conquered this planet. Nay, perhaps I'd control and dominate entire chunks of this very universe we thrive in with the power I now possess behind these dirty 'lil mitts of mine, darling."

With a casual stroke of her finger, she'd then retract it back to her lips. Taking a quick lick, she'd snicker and then run her wet finger down Kakeru's face and continue going lower and lower until it met with his bare chest. To which, she'd then return it back to her lips and below him a kiss.

"So it is along those lines or another that I keep a rather delicate balance between order and disorder, hun. I aibe by my nature and my essence cannot sustain itself without some form of opposition to exist. If the human psyche were too out of whack? I'd have my fill and that would be the end of it." A simple roll of the wrist came from Mana's right hand and her stance was made. The negativity The Demoness was consuming and absorbing had been put in place in order to feed her insatiable hunger. Making it appear as if her body's natural craving and appetite had been one of the primary factors in her doing this.

Yet, that wasn't entirely the case. Upon hearing the question of why she was motivated to perform such acts -- a blank face came across The Queen and she blinked for a few moments. Rarely, if ever, did anyone truly question her methods or the destination to her goals. Henceforth, The Demoness was a bit taken bit; but regained her jovial expression as a soft smile etched itself across her lips. Thinking deeper into her intentions, the desire had been within her for quite some time. All that was left to do was convey it with words.

"I've done this because I am a demon by instinct, but not a slave to it. My body tells me to seek more power, so I sought power and it thrilled me to play that game. Once I beat that stage and had power, I desired to revolutionize the world and liberate the overbearing sense of order the former Demonic Queen had over my kind. Through liberation, I found the chaotic energy within me felt fulfilled and I enjoyed leaving a legacy as one of the infamous figures of Demon Royalty to ever grace the face of the Earth."

Now taking a moment to close her eyes and envision the journey it took to reach this point, The Demon Queen felt shivers running down her spine as a cold gasps of breath left her mouth.

"Once I had power, control, a legacy and had liberated my people; I sought to further expand my ideals on to the world and infect neighboring dimensions with this sense of chaotic freedom. With each civilization and nation I conquered, the more I allotted for an infusion of anarchy and government to infect the lands. People could do as they please, but they'd need the strength to otherwise back it up and live by my rule. Thus, for those who sought my hand, I let them live like gods; while I killed all the rest who had the nerve to show their fangs against mine."

Snapping her fingers, another shudder came from The Demon Queen as visions of her time spent trapped within the consciousness of her former human host came into the mind. Being confined by order, sealed by holiness and reduced to a murky thought irked her and she knew this event caused her to want to free portions of the world to once again awaken to the satisfying feeling of unleashed lunacy.

"Yes, each time I ruled a portion of these realms, more and more chaos opened up and the minds and hearts of the people who lived under my domain became liberated from their minds prison much as I did. It gave them as much pleasure as I did if they were willing to play the game I had enforced on the planet. But, something was still missing. And that something...was love."

Closing her eyes and becoming more somber in nature, The Demon Queen seemed to tense and she'd press on with her speech to mull through her feelings.

"It is why I created The Asthavon family to fill that void. It is why I yearn to make them happy, protect them and guide them towards whatever it is their desires lay. And it is for this reason I found purpose in Khalaism; for we shared the same ideals of life, death and what awaits us afterward. In the end, even this affection is only fleeting and we'll soon meet eternal pleasure in the depths of Nirvana. For now? I give but a taste of that as I ascend higher towards the planes of Godhood."

Now, with an overflowing radiation of green light generating from her body, the pressure of a demi-god soon infected the space around them; and it felt was if it just didn't end. The pulsation of hundreds of millions of souls, the daunting power of Mana Asthavon that eclipsed the moon and the stars themselves and the deep seeded root of Chaos that lived on in her as she represented her origin and her demonic bodies religion in a living form.

"So do not confuse me with being yet another pawn following Deveta's will. I've ascended pass that point and I am apart of this religion because it aligns with my own goals. Everything I've done...has been pieced together so that I may win the game of life and retire as its conqueror. Thus, in between then, the results of my actions have filled this life of mine with much amusement; but the ultimate end goal for me is to reach my pinnacle of strength, stay true to my soul mate, grant the desires of my family and fill the world with the liberation of chaos in mind, body, spirit and in the air itself if they should so decide to live under my rule."

Then.

Silence.

The Demon Queen's head lipped over and she began laughing.

"I am sorry, but this was the first time any spirit had asked me of my motives, s'ugah. So excuse the solemn and glum looks I've gave it. I just found it hilarious that this is all it equates to, Kakeru, my loving opposite sibling."

When finished speaking, Mana held out her hand to Kakeru and had two things to state to him.

"Now, are you satisfied with the answers you've been given, or do you yearn to learn more about the enigma of my purpose?"

Holding out her land hand, Mana added on:

"And in exchange, I'd like to ask what you think of this and why fate has brought you here, brother."

Fri Dec 12, 2014 3:57 pm

"Yeah, I was called out here by your origin, and mine responding to the chaos unfolding." He'd speak softly as his blonde bangs covered his eyes a bit. As he looked and listened to her his breathing calmed down a bit. She was answering his questions quite in depth. It was kind of shocking to hear albeit in a hushed voice of Feraki, and his eyes widened a bit looking at Mana as a shocked breath passed his lips almost viscerally. "...I see now where she is... Well...I'm not sure how I feel about this arrangement though." His tone was calm as he took a moment to compose his mind, because it was spinning hard now. Feraki was his twin and that bond was strong, and he couldn't deny it was a part of the reason why he was here, he felt that bond tugging him to her softly. Almost bringing him here to say oh by the way here I am Kakeru. He hadn't found other of his numerous relatives, but he found Feraki and she was safe within her, although.. he was really against this still, but he would have to put up with what he had just recieved. There were many things that she had said, all of them a blur if you will.

He would in a sense of fealty try to answer and reply to many of her comments as he could it was not everyday you got to pick the mind of an opposite such like. She didn't have desire to destroy the earth or pour chaos into the lives of the men and women who lived there, so that was always a plus for the situation. It didn't leave though a lot of questions answered until she decided to actually give serious thought on what he was saying and thinking about. Her reactions were well received, in fact, he was shocked on how calm she was. It was odd like a storm that had been brewing then had been shut down on a whim. All of what she had been saying was fine, and was logical and truthful to him. There could of been worse things that were happening from her, but this was the least in het oddly enough terrifying powers within her grasp. What was he to do in a situation where he was listening to her. Then she did something that only he could call awkward to see her do, but watching her carefully it must of her way of being playful and trying to lighten the mood before she got honestly serious, and once she gotten serious enough to do what she needed he just kind of blinked for a minute dumbfounded on why she touched him like that, but that was the thing she was being Mana.

He felt the twin bond resonating oddly enough within Mana, because of the soul placement of Feraki being stored within her. He was slightly mad about her death, well slightly mad would be a gross understatement, he was livid, but he couldn't do anything until he had fully listened to her and began to understand the mind of a chaotic being like Mana, from the aspect of a being of order. For some reason or another it wasn't all that shocking there was a lot of deep seated logic within her for something as chaotic as her. It was surprising yes, but at the same time he could honestly respect that. As she began to detail her comments, and began to really speak about what she was doing and her reasons behind it. It all began to make sense within his origins, and within hers. It was going to be difficult, if he could understand her better maybe he could figure out what was wrong with him and take care of the issues at hand, but that meant he would have to become willing to listen to her more, and that's why he didn't interrupt her he listened, watched, and analyzed her movements, facial expressions and how she was reacting to give him a better idea on her mindset. She was oddly lucid and honest, it was too much at the first glance, but he had given her an honest question and she was giving the honest answer, so it was only natural for her to answer the way she did.

Then she began laughing after the silence and the glum looks which threw him off for a moment no one had ever just began to laugh so hard after talking the way she did. It was serious, but then again she was being honest So there was much respect from him. It was weird though as he listened to her reasons they made sense and they were valid in all ways. What was the point in his mind. He had to search throughout his mind, and that was hard as she answered him he shook his head and laughed softly. "No, Mana... I'm satisfied with your answers it makes sense to me, and I guess I follow through, but..." There was a good pause as he heard her call him brother and then asked him two questions of her own, what do he think about this, and why did he think that fate had brought them here together now, and not any time earlier? Well there were many factors that came into his head almost immediately, but there was only a couple that really stood out to him, and as for the other thing, well She had quelled that storm of fear and worry for humanity for the time being until he would have to remain a hard counter to her, and that meant shit would be poppin' off soon enough. For now there was no battling just honest words and feelings coming out. Therefore, they were at an impasse until one side or another made a move that they couldn't return from, but Kakeru had two serious questions to Answer.

Taking a breath, Kakeru began to speak at length about his thoughts. "I guess where do I begin, you asked two very difficult questions I'm not sure about how to answer, I guess there's only one way to answer them, and that's to do that straight up. As for what you're' doing I'm not too sure if this is the most safest thing to do to a human by changing them, but I know that this is more than just a mere hunger, it's more of you proving a point and demonstrating your control over your powers makes me wonder on what else makes you tick, but I can wait and see what you have in mind, because I can't just read into you, there's a block of your chaoticness and deal with it then. I guess I will have to see how this affects the people that are giving you the most satisfacation of your desires." He'd turn a bit to look at the earth as the high speed and his natural coldness produced a solitary ice blue angelic like wing for a moment as his weapon appeared more or less in his hand but in a visible non threatening manner. As his eyes closed he began to really think more into why he was being brought here, and he could feel the bond that was between him and Feraki tugging him here, and many other reasons, but he couldnt' deny that feeling there. It was strong and he was hurting clearly, but didn't want to show it. She didn't win that much trust from him just yet.

"As for the reasons why I am here... there are many...but the one that's the strongest is that my younger twin is within you, and our bond forced this meeting faster than I could of imagined, so there's a bit of sadness that I know her ending to say the least, and why she's existing within you, and the reaons why I have to keep fighting now. I mean fuck.. it's a bit shitty..well that's making this a bit of a digression I guess. I am happy I know what happened to her, but I'm now filled with Sadness and pain, and a wanting to know who harmed her, and to hunt the person down and kill them. My soul screams that. It hurts so much, because I want to go and kill them, but that wouldn't bring her back at all, it would only sadden her I think, well I know it would, because she wanted to me to not do things like that She wanted me to probably to just do what I could...Mana.. what do I owe you for taking care of her soul..." He said softly holding his emotions back as much as possible. He realized though he really couldn't hold them back and then his energy began to release, as his true nature cold came out.

For that one moment an Ice prision appeared around him began to think about his emotions and how wild they were as he released himself from it as his eyes were glowing green as he began to laugh softly. "Oh.. It makes sense why I feel this way...My Corrupt form responds to this so well.." As his energy shifted it went from cold stable energy to unstable Void Energy, that was from the same boundary that Yukuri knew so well. His hair shifted from blonde to black with blonde and his clothes changed to that of a young male in high school, as if he was wearing a uniform, and his blade turned red, lust, and blood red in color. The handle was wrapped with a green hasame skin, and looked silver in color underneath the skin. His Energy from his body was black with chaotic forms of Red, as his eyes went into a glowing red. Taking a breath he'd shift a bit now. "Feels weird...being in this form... but I think this is the best way we can communicate."

This bond, this union and this state that they were all seemed to bring about great understanding between the two forces of Chaos and Order. It was rather surprising that the boy hadn't resorted to using his blade just yet, despite the imposing actions of The Demon Queen. Perhaps he understood the underlying reason for such a ruckus throughout the planet, or maybe it was the blood of Feraki and Asmo that bled in Mana's murky heart that brought forth such compassion. Wherever the intent may lay, what mattered now is that they were coming to a conclusion of comprehension and acknowledgement of one anothers method. And to that? It brought forth an ecstatic glee within that consciousness of Mana's mind.

Thus, she'd let forth a giggle, a smirk and observe the words of the stern male before her. Judging from his pause and the tense aura of his body language, Mana could indeed deduce that she had torn two hard balls at him; for the male needed space and time to think about the words in which he'd use to communicate with the embodiment of all Chaos and Demonkind.

"I applaud your honesty, S'ugah."

Snickering to herself, the way in which the male spoke brought more laughter and jovialness in the tone of The Wicked Witch's voice. Was there any other way to talk with her other than the route of brutal honesty? In the halls of the many spirits Mana has consumed, those who used the art of deception were of her ranks; and of their minds and memories, it would be all but futile to hide a lie from The Queen of Depravity and Immortality.

"And yes, while it may not be the safest thing in the known universe to do, it almost makes for an entertaining show, no?"

Tapping her chin as if she were innocent of all the atrocities she committed in her life, The Demoness merely brushed off the radicalness of her actions in which she induced on the planet just now. After all, if the results turned out to produce a world free of anguish, who the hell cared about how it was achieved? There were sacrifices to everything in life; so it was better to bite the apple fed by the demons and lead a life of the gods, rather than take the hand of humanity and live in poverty.

"Besides, nothing ventured nothing gained, right? One cannot attain the worlds greatest richest without taking a gamble every now and again. I'm sure you've had to put something on the line to attain your own power, right Darlin'?"

And although her tone was anything but serious, the intent behind them were to unveil if he went through a long shot venture to otherwise reach a pipe dream. If they were opposites, yet apart of the same puzzle, there had to be something in the males life that occurred in quite the similar matter as The Demon Queen's. And since he was just as much as Royalty to the Sugiura as Mana was to Demonkind, she was curious to find out what his response would be.

"Oh, but of course. The world should know that while I am indeed the agent of chaos, I haven't let the unstable powers that lay within this sweet being of mine consume and overrun me."

Rolling her wrist once more, Mana brushed off any notion that she was no longer in control of her powers. If Kakeru couldn't see that, nay, the planet, then that was their own problem to bare.

"And if you yearn to see watch makes this decrepit heart of mine tick, you'll have to suckle on the fruit a bit longer to comprehend the madness that lay within."

Winking her right eye at him, Mana giggled and the tone of her voice became ever more fanciful. It seemed, that the more they engaged in this conversation, the further that The Demon Queen began to relax and ease up. As if being in the presence of her polar opposite somehow soothed, relaxed and set forth to relieve the instabilities of The Empress's state of mind.

None the less, when the subject of Feraki came up in his dialogue, a loud thump was heard in the vast quietness of space. As if, upon saying those words, a force was triggered within the incarnation of Mana's soul. Holding her pale white hands close to her lips, there was a force thrusting inside of her spirit that caused The Queen's face to turn red and she held her stomach with her other hand; as if there was the pull of burning baby within her gut.

"Feraki...Ending...? I wouldn't be so sure of that, babe...." Still clinging on to her buoyant charm, there was obvious signs of discomfort and distress in The Demoness's voice; as every other word started to come in and out of her ears from the male. Yet, even in this state of disarray, the many particles that compromised Mana's existence took note of what he said and would refresh The Empress when her mind recovered.

But, when the male unveiled his void state -- A BOOM OF LIFE WAS FELT WITHIN HER!

Yes, it was as if there was a new life bustling within her gut that radiated nothing but the essence of Feraki and Asmo. Coming out in a fit of laughter, The Queen understood what was being produced from her shell; while the scene unfolding before The Sugiura may not make much sense depending on the skill of his sensory abilities. Cracking, contorting and hissing to life; the chest of Mana mutated, extended and soon broke open as a heavy amount of spiritual pressure smacked Kakeru right in the face.

Distorting the very fabric of reality around them by causing visible distortions in the space around them, the energy leaking from her body proved how much control The Demoness did have. For, if she let go for even a single second, this surge of power could be enough to cause titanic and catastrophic results for the planet below her feet. Yet, she was in control and this would not cause conflict for the time being.

Instead, the focus was on a strange black sphere cracking forth to life from her bosom. Being comparable in size to a treasure chest, this orb let out a horrible screech into the universe before it came oozing out of The Demon Queen's embodiment with a green goo that smelled of fresh cut daisies and gumdrops; making for quite the bewildering scent to be had from such a vile creature as The Poster Child for The Demon Race.

Nevertheless, the deed had been done and the gaping hole that gaze off the scent of the sweetest of aroma's was sealed up and patched together as if nothing had even occurred. In fact, after Mana finished hacking up a literal lung, The Demoness wiped the emerald blood away from her pale white cheeks and had an easy, breezy smile come forth across her face. One wouldn't believe her body was falling apart seconds prior to this smirk.

Indeed, it was all another walk in the beach compared to some of the twisted and bizarre rituals, situations, illnesses and injuries this demonic entity had endured in her lifetime. After all, one in her position would have to have some form of fortitude against the truly freakish ways of the world when living the life as an agent of Chaos and Demon Kind, right? Right! So thats is precisely what she displayed in this hectic, asexual birth.

As sealed within the contents of that onyx shaded gem -- was a girl. She seemed no older than a preteen youth, had golden locks that extended down to her waistline and appeared to be wearing nothing more than a black gown. However, since these were both supernatural entities of the highest caliber, both Mana and Kakeru would be aware of the grim situation that they were now in if they sensed deeper within the child. For deep within her heart beated -- the blood of the Asthavon -- and the blood of the Leonhardt's

"Pardon the mess I made, but this was the gift I had in store for you, my 'Little Sweet Babe." Holding out her arms towards the levitating gem, another ridiculous laugh escaped the Queen's lips and she'd go on to explain what occurred: "The other atoms of myself described to me the pain and anguish of your existence, so my body reacted and threw up what was left of your beloved sister in response to your heart quivering out to mine. I told you that portions of Feraki and Asmo lived on within this dear vessel of mine, and now its come out to find its dear Onii-Chan~"

When finished speaking in her ever-so festive tone, Mana began nickering a bit until it died down into a content sigh.The Demon Queen seemed quite pleased with the results in which she produced; even if unconsciously. It was certainly a better change of pace in the way things were going than mulling on about the sad bastard who killed Feraki, or allowing the poor lad to descend further into a depression. With this new development, a surprise reaction and emotion were more than likely to occur within the male and he'd be forced to enter a new situation with anticipation and anxiety. All which were better than allowing the mind to fall to such sadness and sorrow.

"Now, Dear Corrupt Brother, what do I ask for in return? Oh nothing much, just your hand in my alliance~"

Speaking without a care in the world, Mana brought forth her intentions ever so nonchalantly as she rolled her wrist. But, it did make sense, did it not? If they were the allied forces of Order and Disorder, than the universe would be in balance, correct? Correct! Is the equilibrium of existence what Kakeru desired? Well, Mana sure hoped so if this man was suppose to be the embodiment of order! And, on the yang side of things, The Quota of Madness and Chaos inflicted upon the universe would be kept in check to ensure Mana's own ambitions weren't so stifled.

So was this request not a win-win for all parties, no? Yes!

"Do you not agree that this is for the best, nye Onee-San?" Speaking in a jesting tone, Mana cackled to herself before hovering to a standstill, folding her legs and placing her hands ever so neatly around her kneecaps; staring intently at the male and awaiting his answer with a wicked smile smeared across her face.

Whatever would The Royal Sugiura do when placed into such a chaotic circumstance? Would he still fall prey to his depression? Would he turn to the joys of happiness? Or would he remain indifferent to such a thing? The possibilities were endless, but the fun was just beginning!

The feelings that were bursting within his chest were so visceral that in a sense he was not just feeling the energy he was truly expleriencing it. He couldn't deny it there was so many emotions that were released by this form, and Mana's presence, but he was keeping himself in check with the tiny bit of Order that remained within his Eradication orgin. It was strongly holding him in check. That and the fact there was a large amount of respect between Mana and Kakeru told them that they were honestly talking and not just beating around the bush with issues, and yeah Lieing to Mana would be a bad idea, but he didn't think about that, honestly. He was more focused on feeling her out and this was the way he could which was his Corrupt Form. It made sense to him why he could understand her and she could understand him. While Order and Disorder were the counters to each other, they gave insight into both groups of thoughts and how they were structured. As Corrupt Kakeru he could feel more and understand better, as normal Kakeru he was much more logical and less feely he focused more on the cold hard facts and not just letting his emotions flow, but this would of been the one case where he was almost forced back into Normal Kakeru, and he couldn't say much as she giggled and answered questions. She had some good points, but at the same time he didn't fully agree with them, but he wasn't going to lie, she had hard facts against him so far.

"I guess so, but you should be careful with such ventures you will be drawing more attention to the issues you may not want to bring to light, and that would be dangerous for your group no? I guess for what it's worth you have impecable time in taking over places and making sure they aren't plunging shit into darkness. It's interesting...But also dangerous..."

The crassness of Kakeru's tone was pretty blatant, but he was just being honest with her he wouldn't lie though he did feel she was on the fine edge of being too dangerous and not careful enough, but it was apparent if she wanted to plunge shit into darkness he would of have had to react a while ago, and not now. Then again there was much more that was coming out. So once he felt that energy slap him back he chuckled for a moment as he felt that beatuful surge of chaotic energy as his Eradication energy politely gave a high five saying hello. For one moment Kakeru began to laugh pretty hard at the ironic situation he had in a sense two sisters with him Kethel was the reason why he was corrupted, his Origin had to contain hers to keep the Sugiura world and other worlds stable with the concepts of Eradication and Order contained in one housing. It was this constant struggle that made it hard for him to rebuild the lands and the place that he called his home. He was definitely a royal he was considered the only prince of the western lands of the Sugiura, but that was like being the mayor of Hell, Michigan. It didn't matter honestly since there weren't many of the Sugiuras that were left. There were two recent ones, but he had to track them later, he had this to deal with.

"...Are you.."

Before he could fully inquire he was watching the trainwreck of seeing a live asexual birth as she could tell his energy and emotions were actually affecting her. Then again she said something in reference to his comments about Feraki's end, and she seemed to be ready to hurl up something terrible. In Fact Kanaku was about to go back into his normal form. As his eyes widened a bit as he felt his heart in a sense jump from his chest and sink into the depths of the ocean. It was a huge shock to see the onyx crystal that was encasing his sister as for those few moments he shifted back into Normal Kakeru and his eyes were Green. His clothes had shifted into their normal state as he was in honest shock and awe. His emotions were wild and fluctuating in a good normal and healthy way. It was the one thing he didn't expect from Mana Asthavon. It was shocking to the point where he just had to wait a moment and try to regain control but he spoke in a clearly shaken up and broken up voice between Corrupt form and normal form. He was about to shift back, but in the normal state that he was in he said these words before he went back into Corrupt form.

"F-Feraki-Imotou (Little Sister)....I can't believe it...Y-You're here... Jinsei Kakete Boku ha (I'm filled with Deep Sadness Lit.) How...Mana... I have no words..."

He literally couldn't hold himself back as visible tears streamed now from his bright red eyes his right hand slipped up to try to wipe them away the emotion was so visceral that his energy almost like wings wrapped around him. He looked at her, and she did resemble Feraki a great deal as his heart just hurt as his hand slipped to his chest as he closed his eyes. He was truly happy and sad, but those mixing was so hard on him. He didn't know for a moment what was going on within him, but the more he felt it out the more he realized that he was happy, and this was him expressing it in this deeply moving moment. Mana kept talking and he heard ther words as he noticed the obvious mix between Demon and Sugiura like Feraki was, she had all the smells and powers of Feraki it seemed it was like his sister was reborn, and it was odd because he was sure that no one could of been reborn, and here she was standing in front of him now. She had brought this deep seated emotion, and yes this was better than him killing someone, but at the same time he still wanted to kill that person whoever that was. He could still feel that within his soul but then Mana said something and Kakeru had to pause for that moment.

"An Alliance, what are the prarameters of the alliance outside of keeping balance of the Earth? I mean there's more than just a simple Win-win with this. You want something more than just my Order keeping you in check I'm sure."

He wanted to believe it was just a pure check and balance, but he had to be careful on what he was getting into, an alliance was a bond he couldn't just revoke like a friendship, and he was well aware of her trump of making Feraki resume existence, so he was more than likely forced into this hand, but he knew that already coming to see her. There was more than just a simple contextual win. As he'd look at his "Sister" again he could feel his bond even in this form respond to her's and that's what made this worse on his thoughts he knew that he would always feel this bond within him, but he couldn't jsut say no to Mana. He had a feeling there was more to this, and he wanted to know what it was before he'd choose. He look at Mana seriously for a moment, then he'd soften into a smile looking at "Feraki" He did have one more question for Mana because he was geuninely curious and worried because this was a rebirthed Feraki and not the original that was born with him when they were in the Sugiuran Lands. It was odd for him to feel this way, but it was strong enough for him to react with this strong of emotions.

"I'm sure you have a name especially for her since she was within your body for a long time I can tell from just how old she looks right now, if I call her Feraki will she be able to understand me or does she have a name you gave her within your soul? "

That was the question that was bothering him, would she remember him. That gave him options if she did, then he could maybe work on protecting her. If she didn't however. He would work on makign that twin bond back to where they had it before so she could call on him in a moments notice, and know that he was her brother. He would also make sure that he could be anywhere with her and protect her. Sure she had her powers from Feraki, but she wasn't really an offensive character. She was more of a defensive character or one that kept balance so this was a necessary thing for Kakeru to keep stable at the moment. He couldn't lie he felt all forms of conflict and the struggle was real within his soul. He could feel the screaming of Order going this isn't right, but his own soul going this is my sister now, and I need to protect her at all costs. Kakeru's energy remained in the void style that it was as he used a void and made it into a makeshift chair to sit on almost like a throne staring up at Mana. He had many thoughts racing through his mind.

'Where do I go from here? What should I do now, since she's alive... Should I bring back the home or should I make a new place? What will Mana's Alliance cause for the neutrality and the abilities of Sugiuran's everywhere. Would I have to deal with Gilgamesh again, what is best for my people and their growths.'

Kakeru had made his balanced statement, but it wasn't the complete statement before his decision. Once she had answered that question she would get his true answer and not his stall so he could understand the situation he would be brought into by her potentially.

Ah, there was something just so awfully wrong with his internal aura, no? There was a disturbance in the sense of balance within The Knight and The Demoness could more than pick up on that with her knack for seeking out Chaos, Discord and Insanity in the universe. So it was not much of a feat for her to feast upon the very instabilities that Kakeru's Corrupt form brought out.

After all, they had a bond, no? It would take but the pull of her influence to further draw the unstable nature of Kanaku's essence into Mana. In this way, The Demoness would thrive and find the nourishment she requires to continue her existence and reach deeper and deeper into the wells of rich power that lays within her demonic veins. For the more she feasts, the further inward into her Danavahood The Demoness proceeds to descend into. And like a jovial fat man, the manic voice within The Queen's mind would find it becoming increasingly satisfied as more of this divine feast reached the belly of Mana's stomach.

While, in the reverse, Kakeru may find himself having more control over his Corrupted Form. Confidence, relaxed nature and less strain were some of the notable words to come to mind that might describe this process. Yes, he may even find himself becoming augmented in strength from this whole ordeal. How could that be? Simple: it is because his primary element of order would find a way to rise to the top and transcend to being more potent with the volumes of disorder being lowered within the vessel of his body.

Thus, through this transference of yin and yang, the bountiful meal that Mana would harvest from The Sugiura King's body would allot for grand riches for these two cataclysmic forces to discover and benefit from. Kakeru was meant to find home in the heart, while The Demon Queen stomped down the path of fulling her insatiable appetite.

So, with enough food stuffed in that metaphorical mouth of hers, The Demoness decided that it was time to engage in some pleasantries with the loveable blonde. As, more than anything, he had some interesting choice of words for her. The bluntness and straight-forward nature of his voice made The Queen determine, that if anything, at least he wasn't dishonest. So there was no reason to turn hostile or aggressive, for she could not detect much deceit coming from him. Ergo, a soft smile oozed across her lips and she decided to give her replies to the male's rebuttals:

"Like I said darlin', its a bit too late with the kind of life I've led NOT to attract attention. I've got all the negative eyes laying their dagger-edged stares into my soul. Mhm, their all ready and eager to strike me down!"

Cackling a bit with glee in her voice, Mana shook her hips, rolled her arms and had the imagery of dozens, then hundreds, and finally, thousands of menacing forces appear in holographic imagery behind her. Numerous demon's, human's Iramasha, Shinigami and almost every race in between could be seen and felt within this visuals. All of them ranged from rebel groups, to lone individuals wanting their revenge upon the Queen and others that were imprisoned by The Empress of Demon Kind. These spirits were filled to the brim with hate, envy, desire and yearning to overpower The Queen, take her down, eat her body and steal the crown and her power for their own motives.

"So, as ya can tell, I'm already in a deep pit of hell and I love it~!"

Flicking Kakeru's nose in a playful manner, Mana let out a mischievous giggle and then surveyed the male. Placing each of her hands behind her, The Demoness could tell from the distorted facial expressions the male gave that something was stirring in his heart.

And -- who wouldn't be brought to tears by this sight? After losing ones family and be reunited with them, any soul who had the warmth of love for their fellow blood would be overwhelmed with emotion and wanting. If the roles were reversed, and Anna was one of Mana's own sisters, The Demoness herself may very well be the one sobbing tears as black as the night itself for her fallen sibling. So, the smile that was once vibrant and overflowing became a transition into a face that was somber and stern; yet filled with compassion and gentleness to fit the heaviness of the situation.

"Shhhhh."

That was all Mana could muster up to say as she held The Knight in her arms in the form of a hug. Brushing his golden locks with her bare hand, whispering soft coo's into his ear and holding him rather tightly; The Demonic Queen utilized the soft and warm traits from Feraki to convey a sense of calmness, serenity and love into The King to bring him to a stabilized state of being. This was her way of comforting him, bringing forth her compassion and conveying her overall empathy to the male as she absolved his tears into her own void.

They were cold, yet hot. Loving, yet hurt. Filled, yet empty. The waves of thoughts, emotions and affection that rang within the Sugiura's heart were a volatile cocktail that The Queen would drink and absolve him from to save his spirit from becoming lost in the waves of chaos that come with having such a open heart.

As a result, she'd then gradually ease away from the hug after holding him for a few more moments. When finished with this ritual, The Demoness hoped the male did not consider that an intrusion of his soul and mind. Her intent was pure, in this instance, at least. But then again, the path to hell was paved with good intentions, right? So she'd gauge his reaction further and hover slightly away from him as the onyx gem that contained the sibling of Order lowered in front of the two.

In moments, the container which held the child within its contents would begin to crack and shatter like glass. Depressing in a burst of black energy around them, the seals keeping the maiden imprisoned were broken and Kakeru was free to hold his beloved kin whoever which way he pleased. For, with a gentle pull of telekinetic pull from The Queen, the body of the half-blood attached itself to the back of The Sugiura. And, like an endearing leech, she'd serve to further draw in his imbalances and correct his bodies shifts in emotion, energy and power back to normal.

Breathing in and out, the warm of her breath moved over the cheek of The Knight and, in that moment, the imp of a half breed was given new life. It brought a pleased smile to The Asthavon's face to see this force spawned into existence. For she knew it would bring her brother great peace of mind, while allowing the kindness of Feraki to not only live on within herself, but in the form of a new spirit. Truly, the best of words, no? Yes!

Therefore, with both of the females doing their best to alleviate the stress of life from consuming The Sugiran Male, the male's demeanor took a turn to concern and sternness when it came to the terms of their alliances. And, for right reason. The Demoness expected that he'd have worries, doubts and questions for such a vague concept. Thus, as a result, she was more than willing to brandish the answers he so pined for!

"S'ugah, since ya have been truthful to me, I'll be truthful to you. I seek this here alliance because I want to maintain good blood with your kind."

Pointing her index finger towards Kakeru, a small orb appeared between the two of them. In it? The imagery of the Sugiura kingdom and its people flashed through in waves of static. In this showing, this was her way of showing that The Demoness understood where his people lived and she acknowledged their existence as a result.

"Us Demon's don't know much about ya', so I want to take the aggressive step towards allowing both of our kind to become friends and make less enemies."

Bowing before Kakeru, The Demoness would give a quick cackle of jovial intent before raising back up and meeting him with a devilish smile across her lips. However, it wasn't one of malice of discontent. No. It was one of excitement, anticipation and ambition! The mad desire of The Demon Queen was -- boundless!

"So, my dear, what I ask is that you maintain what you've been doing for me during this whole conversation: stay loyal."

Now moving in closer, the raw intent of Mana's aspirations flowed down on Kakeru like a mellow, but heavy fog. Her voice was cherry-filled, but behind it was a much more tough and demanding aura behind it. As if, through this subtle hint, she wanted to affirm that she meant business and was not "bullshitting" around with him on that request.

"In return? I'll give you the same earnest nature from myself and we can be the best of pals, no?" Shifting herself back away from Kakeru, a staggering sense of nutty happiness once again flooded herself in the form of a cheesy grin. Pointing each of her index fingers at Kakeru, Mana continued with a wink from her right eye: "As from what I can tell from your kingdom, you'll need all the help you can get and I can assist with that if push comes to shove, love."

With that, business was considered done and Mana could shift her eyes to the likes of the child before them. It seemed that The Sugiura King was rather curious to know the name of the halving family before them both. So, with a snicker, Mana gave him a confirmation nod when he asked her if it indeed had a name. She harbored this vessel inside herself for quite some time, so it would only be natural that she gave it some form of title, no? Yes!

"Her name? Anna Leonhardt Asthavon."

Quick and to the point, Mana's voice showed no signs of hesitance or delay when saying that mouthful of a name. Soon after, she raised her right hand in the air and curled into a fist Then, she raised her index finger and went on with her discourse with the reagle male:

"The name Anna stems from several dynasties of royalty from the 18th Century times of Russia. It was a name befitting a noble maiden and it fits my daughter, no?" Then, her middle finger would raise and a small chuckle escaped her lips. "Born from the blood of the Asthavon and the Leonhardt, this precious miracle of the universe will have the best of both worlds. Thriving in the greatness of both Demon and Surgiuan kind; she will serve as the key to opening the bonds between our races with the blood that flows within her, My Sweet Brother."

And with that, the third finger would raise and her final point and purpose of her intentions, at this point, should have been clear to the male. What The Demoness desired -- was a relationship between his royal family, their race and alliances between The Asthavon Family, Shadow Fall and Demon Kind based upon this superb relationship forged between the Demon Queen and the Sugiuran King.

"So, what do you say, brother? Are you willing and open to this idea now that you know what my heart desires?"

Ending the last of her statements on that note, Mana would toss the figurative ball in Kakeru's court and see how he would respond to everything given to him by her. Would he accept? Would he be indifferent? Or would he reject her love? There were many different paths, but only time would tell the choice he could make.

And that -- only made the Demon Queen that much more thrilled to find the answer to her pondering questions.

Mon Feb 02, 2015 10:58 pm

Kakeru as a king had many things to think about whern he was dealing with Mana Asthavon, who was the demon queen, and he was definitely grateful for all the things she had done for him, but he had also felt pain because when she had brought her back, it was a chip against him, in a sense he knew that he couldn't just say no. that was gone from an option. He had to accept, and she was trying to make good, but this was a part of order, was things that were inevitable, like dealing with people getting set up for a coronation of the Western Queen. He could feel changes happening to him from Mana's interference, but he didn't say much it'd help him in the end, to control his powers and he knew that he would be dealing with that thing soon enough. He had to become not only powerful in controlling his powers, but helping his people and leading them.

He was being forced to take care of the facts about this situation at hand and that was that he was dealing with a long and potentially dangerous situation for his people. His blonde and black hair swayed a bit naturally because of his energy fluctuating slightly. As his breathing began to calm down he smiled a bit He knew his answer, but he knew that it was something that she would or could of expected, but the answer made sense to him as a person, and as the leader of the main economic branch which was the western unit of the entirety of the Sugiuran lands, but he knew the other branches were looking to his leadership so it was not only an answer for him, but for his people who leaned on him. That's why he wasn't giving an answer just yet.

She was okay with her path and that wasn't really surprising to him, it was when she began revealing everything a reaction as he sighed a bit, it wasn't a good thing that he was feeling from this situation. His energy began to fluctuate a bit as he began to focus while he was listening to her. As he was goign to switch back to his true form, but then he felt Mana move and flick his nose which for the moment stopped him, but yet the pain was still there until she had hugged him and petted him almost caringly. As his eyes closed for the moment and hugging her back accepting the kindness he was keeping quiet and listening to her. He had a feeling there was goign to be more, but yet... he knew that there was much more to this woman he could feel that energy from her, and yet she had came into him and took the negative feelings away again and Kakeru's Suppressed Order was starting to slowly perk up. That was a bit stiffled by Anna latching on to him almost immediately as his eyes closed and allowed her to get comfortable as his aura was strong and was being slightly held back by his true Order getting within him. He could tell it was wanting awake, and he knew he had to answer her soon enough from the things she had been saying to him.

She wanted to know things about the Sugiura's, she wanted to help rebuild their broken lands, but he had to remain loyal to her, and she seemed from their to naturally end her business as if that was that. It was awkward enough for him to just stand on his own, let alone figure out what was going on. He could feel his heart beating slower and more focused as he turn away from her as he was thinking seriously as she explained the origins of the girls name that was on his back. He had a lot to think about he had seen her adjust her hand to make sure the points were well sent across as his mind shot through everything that it could in a matter of seconds he had his people and his own shit to consider and yet she wanted a friendship/alliance. It was hard for him to say yes, but she held the trump in her hands, and that was the thing he knew. He couldn't say no she had more than enough to control his answers, and that was the thing that was burning him up slightly. He couldn't just say no, and back off, but she had him in a sense cornered, but he had a smile for her as he shifted back into his normal form as his breathing remained calm as Anna could remain on him through the change into his normal form now as his order was restored and he was pure again. He felt his heart beating a bit faster now as he'd turn to face Mana as his eyes were focused.

A small breath left his lips as he began to speak to her seriously now. "... You have shown me much about yourself today. In fact, I've learned so many things about you I don't know how I can easily place it. It's definitely different to see someone so foward with their desires, but since you stated that I was honest and you're going to be too, this is more than just simple balance thing like I thought so.. That's fine.. but..." He'd pause as his face turned serious showing more of a man in thought knowing what he had to say. "but, I will not sacrifce my people... If I believe the fight you get into would do more harm than help to my homeland I will refuse to let them get hurt... they are the reason I'm here, and I will protect them even if it means I fight you myself... I'm nothing...without them in a sense of political pull, even though I could probably force them to abidcate to me by my sheer aura, I'm not that kind of ruler... I will make sure they are okay. If something were to ever happen to the bonds between us... I will make sure Anna is protected and safe from anything... I will keep her safe, raise her well, make her a proper royal, and make sure she knows right from wrong..." A slight bit of emotion showed, but it was healthy. "I don't even know why I am a king.. I just have a long list of shit to do... I have to make sure my home is safe... I will make sure of that..That's...my decision."

His Ice shot up around behind him as it shattered as his face remained serious the ice shatter signifying not only the seriousness, but also the feelings attached to such a fragile and terse relationship. He was going to accept the facts as they were, but he wouldn't just lie on his back and go oh hey I'm just going to let you take this over I will state my shit as it is. As he'd summon Yukianesa into his right hand to show her he was definitely serious with his tone and words. he was going to make sure she knew he was dealing with the Sugiuran king, well the leader of the Western Hierarchy. She understood probably his position. His eyes showed the truth however that he was accepting this, but his terms were as such that his lands wouldn't be triffled with, if a battle happened that he didn't believe in he wouldn't send his people to die for a lost cause he would protect them until the end. His heart and soul were on full display so to speak, because she had the trump card, and he wouldn't deny it, but he would have his own terms, as he was a man of his word, he would make sure she'd know that. "I..Keep my words not only to myself, but the people I make them with, so I apologize with how blunt I am. I'll keep loyalty, but if my people were to be hurt... I will not be very willing to help you... I am prioritizing their safety above my own life..That's the decision I've made as a leader."

Kakeru as he stared at Mana Asthavon a bit more he had then began to laugh softly. He was going to try to relax now and just not be super terse all of the sudden. "..Now I think We have finished our major business... I reckon I should make sure she's all set... Is there anything else I should know about.. Demonic Diets and the like... because I never have really dealt with a demon's diet, because Feraki ate like a sugiura and not a demon around us, then again I guess Asmodeus was suppressed all the time when she talked to me, but then again that was something she had to deal with as a woman. I'm not going to knock that spirit.. but it better listen well.. I will not tolerate floozyness in my household. If it's under my roof she will act like a proper princess and leader for her people. Once she's old enough to handle her own and be her own woman then she can be how she feels, but I will make sure she knows and is raised properly." He said with a joking tone, but there was many things that were being implied and him being serious about the situation. He knew that Mana was serious about the loyalty, so this was his way of addressing that easily with ensuring that girl who was on his back snoozing quietly... He had to make a decision on what he was going to be doing with this serious situation. He didn't know what else he could say or do, so he'd wait for her responses and he would just accept it as it was currently. In a sense the silence and coldness of space was a beautiful thing to him as he had a soft smile now.

''I am the cold steel, the blade that will restore balance to this world, Nox Nyctores Yukianesa Activate!''
