~.:Las Noches:.~ This fortress stands deep in the sands of Hueco Mundo, it's size monstrous and overwhelming, rivaling that of the Seireitei. This building, since the war of the Arrancar led by Aizen, has gone through collapse and renovation. It has now come under the rule of The Emperor of Arrancar, Kyrosues Grannia. He is making this structure a safe haven for Arrancar once again. If you're a Hollow, and you're lucky, you might be able to persuade him to turn you into a Arrancar yourself.

The silence within the halls of Las Noches was abruptly broken by gentle foot steps against the tiled floor. A lone figure was walking through the hall, hands behind his back and standing with a posture showing grace and subtlety. He made his way through the halls swiftly, but not hastily. There was a nice evenness to the way the figure walked, that still left him looking dignified and respectful despite the speed he was moving. The figure gave a light sigh before standing in front of a massive set of doors. He raised his hand and the doors would creak open slowly, letting in some light through the opening. Inside was a massive room, rectangular in shape with a high ceiling. In the back of this room was a somewhat large throne. It was atop a set of thirteen steps, elegant and white in color. The figured moved swiftly to the throne, and up the steps. He turned around and would sit down, resting his arms on the arm rests of the chair and sighing. This figure, was none other then Kyrosues Grannia, head of Las Noches, the Espada, and Emperor of Arrancar. He would run his hand through the hair on the right side of his head before sighing and looking over the room. It was so empty, so bare, nothing of interest could be captured by his light blue eyes. He knew very well there were things he might need to do, but, as of yet he could not do so.
Kyrosues did indeed have plans, but as of yet he needed to fine tune them. His schemes involving the Soul Reapers, and all of Soul Society. The thing was, he could care less for the war that the past Espada had with the 13 Squads. They were led by a corrupt man who though himself a god, and wished to sit at the top of the heavens. He started a war he could not finish, and ended up killing dozens of capable Arrancar, and getting himself killed. It left Hueco Mundo even more so empty, Las Noches in ruins, and the Arrancar without a purpose once again. Luckily for them, the Hōgyoku remained and they did not have to remain as Hollows. New Arrancar could appear, like Kyrosues, and attempt to make a difference. The Emperor would look up at the mask piece resting upon the left side of his head, before looking back at the doors. The thought of his past days as a Hollow somewhat haunted him. He did not like the senseless cannibalism. The only reason for doing it was to gain power, to survive somewhat. He still found that no one should have to go through such an experience. Becoming an Arrancar did not just give you new power, but it freed you from the ongoing agony of eating your own kind, of killing to survive. It made you feel more human. You could eat food, you could socialize, you could wear clothing. To become an Arrancar was to finally have a chance to live, and to repent. Sadly, Kyrosues did not think the Shinigami saw it that way.
Well, he would change all of that. As the Emperor of the Arrancar, leader of the Espada, he was determined to bring a new and brighter future for his kind. Now that Aizen was gone, what reason did Arrancar and Shinigami have to even be enemies? Arrancar did not need to eat souls anymore to live, and they had no reason for starting conflict either. And so, this is where Kyro began to plot and plan. To connect the Soul Society and Arrancar together, to do something that has not been achieved before in the history of the spiritual realms. At least he had his loyal Espada in order to aid him in his cause. He already smoothed out all but a few details, the most crucial details. Still, he had time, and so long as no Arrancar would truly do any harm in the Human world, at least none under his command, things would be alright. That was when a small Arrancar, a male that was simply a servant, came up to him and would bow politely before clearing their throat. "Lord Kyrosues. It seems a group of rogue Arrancar has entered the Human Realm, and is now engaging some Shinigami." Kyrosues sighed a bit, curling a hand into a fist and resting his chin on it. " They are rouges? Then let the Shinigami handle them. We need not waste our time and energy dealing with those who defiantly and irresponsibly attempt to take on the Soul Society."

Kyrosues sat silently, sighing somewhat as he did not expect much to go on lately. That was, until another messenger came into his throne room. They moved in rather rapidly, and bowed quickly whilst breathing heavily. Kyrosues raised his hand and would chuckle somewhat. "Catch your breath, Messenger," he said, and the Arrancar would not slightly. After a few moments, the messenger Arrancar would look up at his Lord. "Thank you, Lord Kyrosues. I've come to tell you that the Segunda Espada has gone to earth and has gotten into a brawl with the Captains in the area. It's looking rather messy. I suggest sending someone to intervene, My Lord." When he was finished, Kyrosues would think this over for a moment. He'd sigh before standing up, knowing what he had to do in this situation. " I'll go myself. I don't want to bother the Primera or the Cero Espada on a matter such as this. The Segunda should know not to take the actions he has." With that, Kyrosues would drag his finger to the side, and a Garganta would form rapidly. " Make sure that if anyone comes in here, you schedule a time for us to meet and discuss what they wish to talk about." Kyrosues would then step through the Garganta before it would close.

Dura stepped through his Garganta and walked down the halls of Las Noches displeased with the way the event had transpired in the human world. They had lost three of their own kind even if they were rouge they could have been persuaded to return to Las Noches like others before them. “Why does our kind have to suffer repeatedly even after we escaped the seer madness of being a hollow,” asked during expecting no response from the dark passages of Las Noches. His annoyance continued to rise as he kept questioning the path fate has chosen for them. “Are we so bound to destiny that we can’t live our own lives,” shouted the blond Arrancar. He punched the wall near him sending a crack racing up the wall and through the ceiling. He pulled himself together before he entered the throne room taking a seat near the emperor throne and he threw his head back letting the light wash over his face. The edge of his mask caught his eye and he placed his hand gently on it feeling its smooth surface. He leaned forward placing his elbows on his knees and lacing his fingers together. He sat there in silence contemplating philosophy and what he truly was in comparison to the rest of the world.

Kiyoko banged her head lightly on a pillar. Her eyes were blank like she was a lifeless body waiting to be kicked around. Footsteps and a displeased voice talking to itself passed in the distance, but other then that the realm of despaired death was lifeless. Lifeless. She stared at the number 6 on her right hand and wondered if living in this place was worth it. Looking down at her feet, the pure white walls and floor was engulfed by black. She still felt like a helpless child even after 15 years had passed since she was let free as a hollow and 3 years since her mask was broken and true power was dropped into her hand.
"Let me out. Please. Anyone..." The whispered words echoed through the hallways once with her voice and twice after.
"Anyone"

There was a sudden burst of static discharge, as a single figure stood behind the female Arrancar Kiyoko. It was none other then the Emperor himself, Kyrosues. He took a few steps forward, and would gently place his hand on her shoulder. " It seems...you're not in a good mood, are you, my Sexta Espada?" He asked in a rather concerned tone of voice. He would move to Kiyoko's side, and give her a bit of a reassuring look. " You would not mind talking to me about your problems, would you? After all, I'm am supposed to be a brother to you...which, I feel I am beginning to fail you as such." He said, with a light chuckle, before sighing and scratching the back of his head with his other hand. Overall, he did wish he could keep his fellow Arrancar happy, he felt it to be part of his job as lord of Las Noches.

Faust sat in his room, mending the gash on his back and wondering why he couldn't control his violent second personality. "Two that's the perfect number for me since there are two people living in this body." Said Faust rubbing the large two tattoo on his shoulder blade. The events in bettween his death and the moment when he became an arrancar were a blur and in that time the primal Satsu had been killing countless hollows and shinigami. The young Espada threw on his new jacket which he liked much better due to the fact that the sleeves were long and hung down to his knees. "Perfect! I can't wait to show everyone my new jacket." Joyfully yelled Faust. The Espada left his room in search of his fellow arrancar to show off his new clothes and have a friendly conversation. "Hey, is anyone out there." yelled Faust. The words echoed down the dark corridors of Las Noches and faded into the emptyness of the structure.

Kiyoko turned her head sideways and placed it on her knees, Kyrosues stood shadowing above her. Small locks of her raven-coloured hair drifted down avoiding his hand. Her weapon dropped from the neighbouring pillar to the floor. It was like a baby bird out of it's nest to it's death. It bounced and the sound of the bells echoed like her voice did.
"You wouldn't let me skin off a human then slowly tear out it's bones would you?" She scoffed at the idea, this may of been the first time she met the emperor but she knew enough to picture an answer. The peaceful calm Arrancar would punish her for the idea, maybe changing all the candles in Los Noches or bathing the lower ranks.

Kyrosues sighed lightly, listening to her question and keeping a rather calm expression. " To be honest, I cannot condone such an action. Still, I will not hold it against you if you wished to do such a thing. Part of your past is still in you, driving these kinds of tendencies through your system. We are all still somewhat part Hollow. Then again, I am not going to try and understand what your experiences must have been like. We Arrancar may be more likely to understand one another then humans, but knowing one another fully is impossible." He said, listening to the gentle ring of the bells which still echoed through his mind. " I would like to ask, why would you to such a thing? You know you don't have to kill to survive anymore. You can just live life peacefully."

She would of laughed at Kyrosues questions if he didn't have the power to rip her organs out of her mouth.
"Why do you choose to live peacefully? If you turn all of us peaceful what motive do the shinigami have not hunt us for our mask?" She tried not to look at the man.
Kiyoko got up to her feet. Placing one in front of the other and lifting her hands out to her side she bowed to the leader, her fragile body and complexion made her look like a porcelain doll. Trying not to look disguised by the emperors attitude to life, she picked up her weapon fidgeting her fingers in the air before grabbing it. After this talk she'd always have that feeling in the back of her head to knock some sense into Kyrosues's inflated head. She padded away foot in front of foot one at a time and closed herself in the nearest room. She kicked a loose rock into a figure sitting in the room, thinking it was her own displeased shadow.

Dura raised his head hearing the voices in the distance but making no movements except leaning back in his seat. After all why should he care his mind was jumbled with questions and he was in no mood to converse with his fellow Arrancar. A thought gripped his thoughts suddenly. He was the Cero Espada a warrior in the army of Las Noches. He led soldiers to glory, to valor, and to a bright future. “If fate is going to stand in my way then I’ll just slice through it. I am Dura Shi-rudo, the man that will make his own destiny,” he seemed to proclaim it proudly to the world. His eyes sharpened as he stood up and his stance changed. “I won’t let anyone stand in my way even if it would be God,” said Dura walking forward into the light coming from the ceiling. He placed his hand on the hilt of his zanpakuto and looked up into the light smiling.

" I choose to live peacefully, because I have no quarrel with the Shinigami. They have no reason to hunt us. We're Arrancar, not Hollow. We have enough sense not to go after Shinigami, not to eat Human souls. We're above that. We are no longer a nuisance to the universe. And if you think that this has something to do with the past, let me tell you something...." The Emperor would move up to her, looking down at her with his arms folded behind his back. " What happened in the past is no reason for either race to fight. The past Arrancar and Hollow had a false hope dangled in front of them by a madman who thought himself a rightful god. The only Arrancar the Shinigami should still be enemies with, are those who would wish the old order under Aizen back." He would take a moment to examine Kiyoko, before turning around and stepping forward a bit. " Shinigami have no reason to hunt us. Not so long as I exist. I will make sure of it. Even if I have to go to the Soul Society myself. And...if you've got a problem with that....Kiyoko," Kyrosues said, when suddenly his spiritual pressure burst forth in the room. It was enough force that one would feel like they were underneath a lake, enough to even bring someone of Espada level to their knees. " If you have a problem with that, I'll have no choice but to discipline you. I may be kind, and I may want peace, but that does not mean I will tolerate those would would rather have chaos and destruction. You're a fellow Arrancar, Kiyoko. I chose you to be in the Espada myself. Please don't make me regret it."

The sudden jolt of pressure. The sudden choke of mind and skip of a beat. Kiyoko dropped to the floor letting a yelp like a wounded animal. She spent her time eating humans without the fuss of many shinigami, any usually not fast enough to lift a finger. She couldn't stand 4th seat spritual pressure let alone her own released fully. Kyrosues's was a long stab in her chest if anything painfuller. Clutching the top of her head with her hand she tried her best to stay conscious and quiet pressing her head to her knees, hair about to be pulled out of her skull. She carved her fingernails into another stone, throwing it again at the dark frustrated she could so easily be brought to her knees.
Make it stop she thought to herself, the pain of the hit lessen as she got somewhat use to it. She manage to get to her feet without them breaking beneath her. Kiyoko leaned against the door in a slightly less pitiful position flinching still trying to get rid of the pressure on her body. It hurts.

Kyrosues watched her, and sighed lightly, before the pressure would slowly let up. Eventually, it was gone, and Kyrosues was back to a spiritual pressure that was so lacking it was like you'd be able to float on the moon in comparison to seconds ago. He did not want to make her pass out, and he felt bad enough for having to use any of his power to discipline a fellow Arrancar. " Kiyoko, you know I don't like causing pain... but, I will if I have to." He said, rather softly, before looking off of the side. " Please, if you really have a problem with this, just think it over. How many Shinigami have tried to go after you while I have been in rule? None. How many have you had to fight to stay alive? Once again, none. And, so long as I am here... I won't let any Shinigami attempt to hurt you, or any of my fellow Arrancar. Despite the fact that you may be able to fight on your own, and handle a Captain Class Shinigami, there are opponents out there even you cannot defeat...and they are usually higher up in rank in their society. My point is... I want to help...but I don't have to. That's the thing, I want to, out of the goodness of my heart. How many other Arrancar would actually say that to you?" With that, he would turn from her, and tap his finger on the wall. A door would form rapidly and open, before he would step in. " I hope you are alright...if you have a headache, then just take a bit of time to rest." The door would close, and Kyrosues would begin walking down a flight of stairs slowly. He would fold his arms behind his back, and sigh softly.

Kiyoko smirked. "Very well, I see your point."
She pressed herself against the chair's edge, fixing the strands of mis-placed hair in place. She wondered if that would stay true. The dark room was calmingly cold and the black walls were thin enough to hear the wind blow against it on the other side. She might bring some of the sand in to play with. A simple thought crossed her mind, how would she keep herself entertained now that flesh couldn't be toyed with.
"I'll stay with you for now Kyrosues" She shiver at the name, another pitiful action she wouldn't live to forget. "Your words better not be lies."
The chimes of Getsueichaimu's silver bells rang in the motionless room. Kiyoko hummed, here the echoes were much more quiet then in the hallways.
Ashes to Ashes.
Bones to paste.
I'll wither away in this resting place.
