~A Day like no other~

It is a casual visit to Earth for the ArchDuke of the Ninth Circle of Hell; nothing ever different or significant. Vohlis usually visited Earth to cause minor havoc or to collect individuals for experiments. Out of all the areas, his random picking landed him on a boat that belongs to the Redwood Family. According to Vohlis's memory, the Redwood Family is one of the noble families in the Soul Society and a highly influential kind. Vohlis is the kind to have a legacy of his own that only a few knew about. Simply, Vohlis was responsible for jump starting mankind and inventing the very emotion that sets mankind apart from God and his creations, "Flaws." For that, Vohlis believed that he stood an antagonist for the purpose of preventing mankind from facing another version of the apocalypse and a contradictory one in fact. That apocalypse is called, "Populating into Extinction." If mankind spread too much, resource became dry and mankind cannot sustain themselves anymore, therefore die a horrible death. The Soul Society regarded him as an evil they must stop from all the accumulated crimes he committed against mortals alone. Fortunately for Vohlis, no one knew of his real identity nor they do not know of his true name. If they know his true name, Vohlis will be bound to them as forced servitude.

In his current form, Vohlis is true to himself, but he is a mix between flirty and the kind who would talk down at people if challenged. In fact, this form is the form that Vohlis once look like before God cursed him on top of expulsion from Eden. On the boat, Vohlis kept his spiritual pressure to a very small level so they would only suspect that he is one of the men they hired. Seeing that the men are in swimsuits and were bulky by muscles, Vohlis gained the impression that it will not be easy for him to get by. "Echo in the wind." Vohlis spoke before becoming highly transparent, utilizing a spell that renders him virtually (not completely) invisible. Vohlis began walking casually through the guards and servants to a room.

A sudden thump threw off his concentration and made him reappeared. It is no matter, no one was there to stop him. Vohlis entered the room and quietly shut the door behind him before a patrolling entity could make his or her round. Vohlis turned around and noticed a woman on the ground with her breasts exposed underneath the maiden's arms. Since Vohlis was the one who created temptations, so he was affected, but never by much. He simply walked to the woman and held out his hand while kneeling. By the looks of Vohlis, he looks like a dark prince that some women have a special place for. "Hail and well met, Maiden Redwood." Vohlis spoke in a fluent dialect of an Old English gentleman. After helping her onto her feet, he took off his cape and put it around her. Although the scent of brimstone would give away that Vohlis is a demon, the scent is subtle enough to be mistaken for a sexually simulating aroma. His sharp eyes aimed directly at the maiden's eyes. "Mind if I could sit?" Vohlis asked as he walked to the long chair and sat on it.

"What brings me here...that is a good question. I have come here to find some subjects for testing. I am Vohlis, Noble Demon and background caretaker of mankind." Vohlis answered with innuendos made to lead onto the truth that he is the reason that mankind started and he is the one who caused so many suffering for a cause best left explained to those who are willing to learn. "But somehow...fate has its allure and there you are." Vohlis concluded with a rather persuasive tone, meaning that he was led to the maiden on a whim. Considering that the Redwood Family are at a regal level of fame, displaying his title as a Noble Demon, the kind of demons who are more civilized than other demons while have more power provided with experience. With the cloak around the maiden, the scent can stimulate her and make the charm easier to use. But Vohlis knows it is her choice to follow him or to treat him like any other demon. With a warning, Vohlis detected a presence approaching to the room at a hurry. "Solar Deception." Vohlis spoke before disappearing nearly instantaneous to those from the door, but to the maiden, he is hiding in the light, an unusual tactic for a demon.

"Miss Redwood. Sorry to intrude, but I thought I heard an unknown voice from this room...why are you wearing that vulgar cloak?" The male servant spoke as he peeked through the door to find the intruder. Nosy, is he not? What a bother. If you think my cloak is vulgar, try Zaraki Kenpachi's Haori. "Am I smelling brimstone, Miss Redwood?" The servant asked. Generally, brimstone means a demon was close by and Vohlis is the only demon in the room. As along he is sitting on the chair under the solar deception spell, he cannot be found unless someone come around behind him or bumped into him. Vohlis looked at the maiden, purposefully breaking his concentration and dispelling the spell. "D-Demon!" The servant stuttered in plain fear. "Well, I'm a Noble Demon, servant." Vohlis corrected. In a blink of an eye, Vohlis is already at the servant's face with the same look as he came in. There was a moment of pause which made the servant very uncomfortable. "Boo." Vohlis spoke frankly before the servant darted the opposite way and ran into the wall. With the servant out cold, Vohlis shut the door and turned back to the maiden. "The guards will be here soon. So I have little time. So I ask of you. How willing you are to find the truth as to why I do what I do? You can choose to follow me and learn or stay in your comfort zone and be someone's bust on a pedestal." Vohlis asked to the maiden as he opens a fiery portal which anyone can guessed to be Hell.

Vohlis awaits for the maiden's answer.

The maiden appeared before a massive castle of grotesque architecture guarded by massive creatures that is never been seen before ever since the Shinigami's attack upon the Tal'Vohla Family under the command of the Central 46. Ogres with overbearing katanas and an armored elf archer each riding on red dragons. The fortress appeared to be far more formidable than Las Noches back when Aizen was in charge. To any shinigami, it looks overwhelming for anyone trying to assault with only a small party. "I run this region of Hell as Archduke. Do not mind the sight of my fortress, it comes with the position." Vohlis explained as he went through the portal, closing it behind him. The touch of her hand was smooth while to her, the touch of his hand was quite warm and tingly. Usually, Vohlis's hand was warm and stimulating because of the residue from his spells. Taking the mind off the fortress, the region was warmer than summer rainy days while the scent of brimstone was obviously overwhelming to those who are not used to being in Hell before. Vohlis carefully guided the delicate flower closer so her hand was holding onto his left hand while his right hand was on her shoulder.

Guiding the maiden closer and closer to the fortress, Vohlis gave her the breakdown of what is to be known about him and what she is walking into. "I can provide you with great hospitality within these walls. A new gown would be a good start." Vohlis provided the features, so the maiden would know that he is not going to hold her hostage. The fortress's "entrance" was no more than a wall without a sign of a door. The two ogres guarding that wall looked at Vohlis and turned to each other. They both simultaneously stabbed their sword into the ground and roared loudly. The ripples from their roar vibrated the two swords and a crack appeared in mid-air. The crack soon became a portal into the fortress. Vohlis casually guided the maiden into the fortress. "Anyhow...What I do is what the Thirteen Court Guard Squads already deemed as intolerable, but on my end, it is necessary. Mankind started because of my actions against Eden and God, so with God trying to watch over mankind, mankind are spreading too quick and I have to step out of Eden to repair." Vohlis introduced. Inside was the great hall that is floored with obsidian, supported by dark stony pillars and the spaces in between the pillars would have fit a two story house judging by the height of the ceiling. It is like walking into a new dimension because the scent was not as overwhelming as Hell while the temperature was not as hot...just comfortable.

"This...Judgment Day that man spoke of a lot is a lie as there are two apocalypses. The one I'm preventing was the Birth of Extinction form where man has grown too numerous and resources are drained to nothing, leaving mankind to starve and die out, even giving birth at that scenario will be next to impossible." Vohlis explained. While he explained, he escorted the maiden to his bedroom. "Central 46 were nothing more than businessmen who cannot understand the bigger problem. Mankind are spreading too quickly and without me, they would have been extinct three-hundred, fifty-four years ago." Vohlis concluded as they came to the door. "Here is where you can go at any time if you needed to talk to me or other things. For now, you can choose to stay like this or try out one of the gowns that my goblin servant zealously made for such an occasion. Never would have guessed it would be this time." Vohlis spoke to the maiden as he escorted her into the room.

Inside was oddly celestial with riches that are impossible to steal without affecting its beauty. a mix of marble and jeweled mosaics, the bed was king sized with marble pillars supporting a silk canopy that cloaked the bed romantically, an antique vanity that is not touched before while carefully tended to like they are actually waiting for a mistress, and a door to a large walk-in closet full of gowns of different ways to praise it; luxurious, lusty, captivating and more. All the gowns are on the left side while Vohlis's clothes, consisting of regal attires are on the right side. On the very end of the closet shown a suit of armor with a halberd and a sword like this below.

The armor alone has some kind of a dominating appearance like a great conqueror would have. Vohlis lets go of the maiden and sat on his bed, letting her make the decision whether she could expose herself to him or go to the closet to pick a gown. On the final note, the gowns are like Vohlis's attires, they are only alive when touched so they simply dress the maiden on their own and if taken off, they can stay there unless they were told to return or if another outfit was touched. If the other outfit was touched while one is still being worn, the current outfit will just return as the new picked outfit will do the same when dressing. While the maiden is choosing, Vohlis took off his shirt, revealing scars that seemed to be from swords...like a zanpakuto.

Seeing that the maiden is shy when trying to pick out a gown, Vohlis made a faint smile. He gets up and walked to her. As a demonstration of demonic speed, Vohlis was already behind the maiden the second that he was on his feet. He looked at the gowns and realized that his servant was getting more zealous than he originally perceived. "I do agree about being so much gowns there to choose from. But what can you do when you have a zealous goblin servant." Vohlis commented. Knowing that the maiden granted permission to pick for her, Vohlis finds himself just as lost as she is. He hummed for a moment, trying to piece together the clues. "I think the gowns will come later since a lady will need time to figure out the occasion." Vohlis commented. "How about trying out my bed, since you would need time to take it all in and think about it. But I have one thing to tell you." Vohlis continued. He pointed at the suit of armor. "That suit of armor is what I wore when I fought against the Soul King, ever since that battle, I have not worn it. That chip in the halberd's blade was from when it cleaved through the Soul King's zanpakuto by inevitability. Long ago..." Vohlis explained.

Judging by the blemishes on the suit of armor ranging from dents to cracks, the battle against the Soul King must been long and strong while the halberd displayed a deep chip as if it indeed struck into a tough sword and broke it. "He believed that I would end mankind and would have to purge my taint to save them. I replied that mankind was already saved from their own destruction and I am protecting them by being cruel while he protects them with my opposite. Either side must not win or they lose it all." Vohlis concluded. She was definitely shy and confused about what is going on. He gently spun the maiden around and held her close as a way to comfort her. "There is so much for you to learn, yet all this came in suddenly. How about you rest with me." Vohlis spoke in a tone that would make any innocent lady melt with fantasies. He separated himself from her slightly and gestured her to follow him to the bed.

At the bed, Vohlis escorted her to the right side of the bed while Vohlis took the opposite side casually. The pace he walked shown that he was not expecting sex, but his bare upper body seemed like an open invitation all in itself, though Vohlis just took it off to ease himself a bit. The bed was well-balanced between firm and soft as if it was made for dreamers and for helping anyone get the sleep (or the good time) they needed. The silk canopy assured privacy while the space made it very relaxing. "You can choose" are the very words that Vohlis said before, so the maiden is free to choose to do what she wanted.

Vohlis noticed that the maiden wanted to play and Vohlis can understand why. Noble Demons generally have greater power than common, lived longer and have high standards in accordance to morality. Normally, he would not allow her to have sex with him at random, but since she is in his room and the bedroom is secluded due to a special technique that only Archdukes are capable of doing. So his reputation will not be damaged because of her now. She would become his mistress anyway. He turned onto his side and shown her a faint smile. "Tell me...are you having it for our benefit or your own benefit?" Vohlis asked. The only difference between a Noble Demon and a Common Demon was by their perception. Noble Demons looked both ways while common demons looked down. Thus by experience with the light, Vohlis learned to be resilient to holy attacks. For the maiden, Vohlis thought of having an heir or an heiress to continue what he left behind if he is defeated. But he knew that the maiden might have a different thought about this. "I chose you of all the opportunities granted for thirty-two million years because my heart said so." Vohlis spoke as he revealed what love is, driven by trust, compassion and patience. Lust was merely instinctive, passionate, yet lacks the patience. "I feel that your heart will say the same." Vohlis concluded as if he is telling her what she is actually feeling.

He crawled over to the maiden before he slides off his pants. "Once we do this, there is no turning back. It is the way of the Noble Demon that if you mate with me, you will become my mistress and Archduchess of this Circle of Hell, while bearing my heir or heiress." Vohlis warned softly as he loomed over the maiden. Vohlis may be a rule-breaker, but even he was raised to act like a Noble Demon; assertive, precise, and independent. Vohlis looked into her eyes as he already has taken off his pants and underwear. With himself exposed, he caressed her body while awaiting her answer. If it was indeed lust, Vohlis would be looking at her breast or just have sex in the closet. Vohlis chose to love her for who she is and he is hoping that she has similar feelings towards him.
