Welcome to Gaia! ::

(( Forgive me I must have misread. I assumed by “friends” they were her own species or outcast of flock like her or something X D. And yeah Isha is so not what she seems to me. Ramella, feel free to message metal your profile change, im sure she will get to it when she can : ) ))

The dining hall was moderately lively, most of the hell spawn were dining but offcourse the occasional booze crowd could be heard in certain sections. Ophelia nodded and smiled at the wasted harpy and cocked her head at Isha who was slumping down. “ A real light weight I see.”

Ophelia left the rabble to their sculling and made her way to the more sophisticated demons were she would play the diplomat and speak to heads of particular noble houses. These houses which swore loyalty to Ophelia long ago had a very fragile sense of loyalty. Normally, the title Dictator that Ophelia acquired brought the houses together from a network of fear and intimidation kept together by the most powerful ruling over. She offcourse, ruled this way but showed a great display of swaying negotiation from time to time when needed.

So, tells us young lady. You seem to be doing well with the campaign against the light. However I must ask, this title of Dictator over Hell’s Empire, should we be worried you getting ahead of yourself? What is next? Would you declare yourself Empress as well, should you decide to create yourself a royal family? The only known monarch disappeared mysteriously long ago. Spoke one of the older looking ancient demons.

Ophelia sipped her wine and gently placed it down on the table leaving momentum of her speech that would be directed to answer his question and of others in the small vicinity.

“ You think so little of me that I would push to have myself empress and my lineage would rule by birth right? I was thinking Goddess of hell would be more suited, that way I can just rule as I am without getting questioned... old man” she spoke with regal and sheer confidence. She stared at the ancient demon with a eye brow raised. There was an awkward silence that crept across. She licked her lips and laughed sarcastically. The other nobles followed quickly letting out laughs yet not with the same enthusiasm.

Seeing Reki not making the first move, Sere began walking toward her, then on his 3rd step dashed toward her, claws raised high and bringing them both down upon her. Sere saw how Reki was in despair and spoke.
"Give up and... leave. You'll... live."

Sere moved back when she pushed and waited. He sighed in his mind as he looked on to Reki's response. The shadow's consuming him went up to his chest and began to grip at him more ferociously. He still stood still. When she removed her armor he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, to others reasons and her show of force. When she charged forward he did as well, striking toward her exposed stomach with his left claws.

Not expecting her quick reflexes he was caught by surprise, his strike missing and being cut from behind. The shadows around him merged onto him, making him solid black with glowing red eyes as she casted her chaos bolt. The lance cut a hole through him and extreme pain shot through Sere, rendering him unconscious and allowing his demon side full reign as he fell limply to the floor, his mental self quickly becoming consumed while a screamed softly. A few seconds later the pitch black limp body began to jerk and seize changing further, the hold and gash regenerating. His black aura spiraled around him and pushed Reki back. It obscured the view of him as the feeling of paranoia reached its peak. Moments later the shadowy aura dispersed and Sere's full demonic form stood before her, hand held up mimicing her
"Chaos bolt."
The piercing chaotic lance that came from his hand shot toward her erratically. Not waiting for the result he brought his two hands together, his aura gathering there forging a sphere.
"Requiem"
The sphere completed and shot toward where she was after his bolt. It would explode with great force when it impacted.

Demon Sere watches the result of the explosion with a smirk, a murderous glint in his eyes. He held his claws out and shadows overcast them greatly, making them extremely sharp and longer. He quickly rushed toward her, directly striking clairvoyance with his right and striking toward her chest with his left.

A demonic hiss escapes his lips as he considers what he should do.
"Cursssed angel. I'll perssonally ssee to your ssoul'ss desstruction next we meet!."
Mentally he looks over the consumed human version of himself with anger, but knew that he would need his other self eventually. He gripped Bliss as she released it and broke away, quickly flying out of the room with all the speed he could manage, while his form began to change back, by the time he was to the front of the temple he was back to inbetween pitch black. Knowing he would go unconscious once his human self was back in control, he instead took one of the other paths hoping to find a suitable hiding spot. He reached one of the supporting seals and saw that it was a dead end. He looked around cursing as he was back to mostly human, barely able to move. He hobbled over to a corner and slumped down against it, hidden from only looking into the room and was sealed away by Bliss.

Reki met his fury with pure confidence.
"Looking forward to shaming you on the field of battle. Now run."
Reki didn't try to follow him as he hurried away, his form reverting. She spoke softly to herself as he went out of sight.
"If I killed you here you would merely be a name on a piece of paper... If I kill you during a battle the glory will be unprecedented. A high level demon slain before them would make the enemy ranks flee in terror, and I could run them down as they did without remorse, casting fear into them forever."
Reki was momentarily lost in her thoughts of grandeur.

Ophhelia glanced around the noble demons. She wandered off to communicate silently. She spoke to sere's mind with her cute and attractive scout " Sere. bring me the source of the energy power... NOW!!!" who or what they may be.. I want that source here before me...
