 Dameon rematerialized from his mist form when he was several miles from the main kingdom and arrived at his destination. He appeared to be wandering aimlessly until he arrived in front of a tree which bore a set of hand prints on it.
"Ivy..." he whispered solemnly as he ran his hand upon the smaller of the two hand prints. This had been the tree he and Ivy had marked once upon a time. Before they had been bonded.
Despite his view upon the world there was one thing that had not changed and that was his feelings towards the red haired beauty that had once been his wife. He had scoured the world for her and turned up empty handed with no sign of her remains so that he may lay them to rest, to gain closure.
He remained lost in his thoughts oblivious to his surroundings as he let himself be pulled into his memories.

Ivy had left the Zaibatsu kingdom, and as she felt Dameon’s presence leave Lucian’s, she had finally realized it was time to meet with him after centuries of his torcherous journey of trying to find her remains. What was it about her that made her so spiecal to him? She was simply in his life under ten years and he has been without her for more than ten lifetimes. What bond did Dameon hold so close to him that mattered so much?
As Ivy approached Dameon from behind, she watched his hands brush over her own from many years ago. They had faded in that tree, they were almost mark less, but they still existed as her and Dameon did.
“I’m not sure if that tree is dead, or if it’s alive after all this time. It’s as if it’s holding on, but it no longer wants too. It’s trying to die, but it just can’t—”

Dameon went rigid as he was pulled out of his memories at the sound of a feminine voice. "That voice..." he breathed unevenly as he felt his heart jump. He dared not turn lest he be hearing things and find that his mind was playing tricks on him. But alas his curiosity urged him on forcing him to slowly turn his head and peer over his shoulder where he saw a woman with white hair and a slender build covered in armor. But it was her face that made Dameon pale. The woman bore such a resemblance to Ivy it was uncanny and her sword... It was the very same sword he had gifted to his wife.
"You...Who are you?" his tone was cautious yet stern with a hint of fear. There could be no possible way that this woman was Ivy. He had taken on the curse in full! He had protected her! But before him like a ghost stood to prove him wrong. He denied the possibility that this was Ivy. That he had failed.

“The question— is who are you? Because you’re not the Dameon I knew. Ha!—“ Ivy laughed. “Ah, the Dameon who slated demons, the dameon who almost died by the hands of his own ignorance, and I, the woman, who was always there to patch him up. The dameon who never did what he was told, could bargain a man into poverty, and—what was that— murdered a man who laid eyes upon his wife. That was the Dameon I knew.” Ivy sighed as she walked forward, place her hand into the groove of the tree bark where her hand was once printed, matching with every edge, and every inch of her own finger tips.
She turned and looked back at dameon with her eyes narrowed with disgust and unhappiness. “But you.. you kill people, you capture husband’s and break their wives. You hold them hostage and murder the innocent. Who are you? Was that the question?”

Dameon felt his heart sink at the woman's words. This woman was Ivy. His wife. His light still shined.
"You...How?" he tried to ask how she was still alive but it fell short as his breath hitched in his throat before he shook his head.
"I took the curse into my body. You can't be Ivy....But you are." his voice trembled slightly as he lowered his face mask.
"Your hair..." he blinked as he envisioned the woman with hair, red like fire and piercing green eyes boring into him and let it fade to the woman before him. It was all he needed to know that this woman before him was indeed Ivy. He reached out and tried to run his hand through her hair with a soft gaze upon his face but stopped when what Ivy said finally hit him.
Her words so full of disappointment and that look of anger and disgust, it broke something inside of him. He could feel the very foundation that his motives and ideals were built upon begin to crumble. But it begged him to ask one question.
"Our child?" he was quiet in with his question. She had been pregnant when he took the curse upon himself. Had the child grown and died like a normal human? Had the unborn child been cursed like he and apparently Ivy? He didn't know if he wished it one way or the other.
He ignored the woman's questioning as his mind was too rampant to truly ponder anything aside from his wife before him if she still considered herself as such. She clearly knew of what he had done yet as he glanced down upon her left hand he saw the ring he had given her still resting upon her finger and allowed a small imperceptible smile grace his face.
Finally he was able to answer at least one question by the woman.
"You speak of Nine. I have nothing against the man and I dare say had he wanted to he could have avoided capture. I had no idea he had a wife. But it changes little as he now resides in Lucian's dungeon." He had figured out that Nine wanted to be captured or at least had allowed he and Grim to capture him. Though he knew he could not refute most of what Ivy claimed of him and slowly his smile turned to a frown. He had often questioned if the road he had traveled would have been approved by Ivy and now he had his answer. She did not. It made him once again feel overwhelmed at which he felt himself drop down into a sitting position against the tree.

“How? I lived, simple as that. I’ve been alive for too long, I wish someone would just come up to me and behead me, though it seems almost impossible, as my speed and strength has increased since i was struck all those years ago.” Ivy released her hand from the tree and ran her fingers through her silver long hair. “I haven’t been a redhead since i was hit. as for our child, they were struck too.” She didn’t give him a straight answer on Eon. She did that on purpose, Dameon had no rights knowing who his son was, and by the time Ivy found out Dameon was alive again, Eon had been far too old to have had an impact by his dad.
Walking up to Dameon, she reached her knuckles to the flesh of his cheeks, gently stroking his skin as she looked into his evil demonic eyes. “Oh how many men i’ve sent after to kill you, and not one returned to me. You murdered children, husband and wives. Nine shouldnt have to have avoided being captures, why would you even capture him in the first place, him?” Ivy raised her brow as her hand slipped from his jaw down over his neck. “Does Lucian give you purpose? knowing you can accomplish any task he throws at you, dose that make you feel complete? Is that why you do it? You knew nine was vulnerable, praying against the weak. You used to pray against those greater than you, ha! dameon, the unchallenged. Now look who he is.” Ivy removed her hands from dameon, bringing them back to her side.

Dameon turned his head as as he saw Ivy's hand approach his face to try and potentially lessen the blow of the slap he was sure was the intention but sighed when he felt her caress.
"You were never supposed to be hit by the curse. You shouldn't have been hit. Yet here you are cursed because I failed to protect you." he shook his head before he let his head rest in his hands, running his fingers through his hair. The fact hat his child could have been one of the many people he killed shook him. He'd have seen the resemblance surely...right? There was no way Ivy would send their own child to kill him, right? Why would she even send anyone to kill him? Why was she standing against him instead of with him? He could feel his very foundations, built and molded over countless centuries, were falling apart around him. Though how she spoke of Lucian made him frown.
"You speak as though I follow Lucian like some sort of trained mongrel." He spoke after a long silence his eyes narrowed.
"I do as he orders because he and I share a common goal. Nothing more and nothing less." he paused again as he sighed. He would not tell Ivy he had thoughts of dethroning Lucian on more than occasion. He didn't trust the man but followed because he could move around more freely to plot and plan, especially for when Lucian eventually betrayed him.
"As for Nine...even if he was vulnerable he was more than capable of defeating me and my colleague when we attacked. Even now he sits idle when he could be escaping." Nine was far craftier than he let on. The man was no doubt using his time in the cell to try and keep tabs upon the man who was his father. Why else would he allow himself to be captured if not to be close to his enemy? He rid those thoughts from his head as he narrowed his gaze upon the woman, his wife. She had admitted to being the one to have sent countless souls to face him only for them to fall to his blade. But why?
"You sent millions after me yet refused to seek me out yourself. You knew I lived yet you hid. You knew I sought you out countless times yet you covered your tracks. So why confront me now? Why show yourself now?" he asked quietly with hints of anger lacing his tone.
"Do you know what I went through. I had to watch as men fought and died over things as petty as land, women, insults and resources. Watched as men preferred war over compromise, watched as men stabbed one another in the back for power. I watched as corruption grew in the hearts of men and despite my greatest efforts to guide them away from it they continued to fall. They refused to be guided so I turned to harsher methods. I controlled, oppressed and enslaved. I did it all to quell the darkness in man." he spoke with conviction as he reaffirmed himself. Mankind was cruel and heartless. The innocent never stayed so for long. He had seen children be corrupted just as easily if not more so then the elder population.
"You should be standing beside me not against me! You've lived just as long as I have. Seen what I've seen. So why? Why do you continue to protect those that wish to destroy themselves?"

Ivy spung around quickly as her eyes narrowed on damson. “you do follow Lucian like some sort of trained mongrel!” Ivy snapped at her former husband. “You know what he was doing while you were too busy distracting nine and capturing him? He found the first queen of the Doma, and beheaded her before her comrades. You let him! Nine could have helped her, but you prevented him from doing so. She has living linage who doesn’t know of her death. You helped him kill her, and her son is now parentless.”
Ivy walked around her as she looked her former husband up and down. His body had changed. He was large, his body was bigger in every way. physically ruthless. “What is this common goal you share? hmmm? Destruction of the human race? May I remind you, you were once human.” She began to laugh as he tried to rationalize his actions when he captured nine. “He could have defeated me Ivy—“ She said in a mainly voice trying to mock him. “Therefore, my actions are acceptable.”
She stayed quiet as he spoke of her actions, the ones where she hid and avoided him, she didn’t meet with him for hundreds of years. Why? Why he asked? Ivy shook her head. “You became a monster when i finally found out you were still alive. I watched you, and your decisions from afar. Why would I seek you, knowing you murder innocent beings, I wasn’t going to take the risk of you murdering me. I’m taking a risk now, you could remove my head within moments, rip my heart out of my chest. But those things you have seen, the things i have seen, they aren’t an excuse to take our power out on the innocent, those who we know don’t have a fighting chance against us. I seek you now, because you need to stop Lucian. You need to side with us, and take down his reign or the whole world will be over come by his evil. If you choose not too, I will finally kill you myself.”

The young girl had managed to wander quite a distance from home. Initially she was wandering happily through the city before adventuring into the surrounding forests. She skipped along quiet and cheerily completely oblivious to her surroundings for the most part. The happiness she felt in blissful unaware ignorance didn't last long. Once she stumbled upon a conversation the child froze in place and hid behind a large tree. What is Daemon doing out here? Oh! He is meeting a friend! The thought lingered on Penny's mind as she slid down to her butt quietly. The child listened in on their conversation for a while. A few things became clear in the time she spent eavesdropping on them. They did know each other after all! Her hands clasped together over her mouth as she listened and understood some of what they said.
W-why is she saying he killed people? Millions? Penny let the thought sink in and counted the numbers on her fingers. That is a whole lot more than 200. Her big green eyes widened as she thought about it more. Her head turned a little so she could hear better though her hair impeded her vision as it swayed in front of her face.Oppressed? Enslaved? Murder? Penny shook her head and lowered her gaze simultaneously. The words were bad and the talk of millions dying made her sick to her stomach. The child could only grasp her belly and swallow as if trying to prevent a stress induce vomit.
No! Daemon is nice! He wouldn't do that, right? This lady she has to be a bad guy! The child raised her hands to her head once more and rubbed her hair into a messy state. I will kill finally kill you myself. The words caught Penny's ears and the child froze. She had only seen the death of animals and plants... all of which she brought back to life. She had never seen someone be killed first hand. The shot of adrenaline that sped through her body made her quake nervously. Penelope did not want to see someone she knew die. She simply could not see someone die. The very topic of death churned something inside her that directly opposed the concept.
It was in a moment without thinking that Penny sprung to her feet and stepped out into view. " Leave uncle Daemon alone! I don't care who you are! If you hurt uncle Daemon then I will make you not exist! You hear me? NOT EXIST!" She shouted the words at the top of her lungs as her tiny hands balled into fists. She wasn't threatening Ivy with death but instead non-existence, if the concept even made any sense. Penny wasn't even sure if her words would hold any value seeing as she was still a child, but she continued." No one's allowed to die! No more dying! No more killing!" Her arms quivered as she stormed forward with Raijiin and Vasuki trailing closely behind her. Raijiin was moving to drag the child who was quivering from the adrenaline rush backwards.
Penny stopped for a moment as tears began to stream down her cheeks."If you ever really cared you wouldn't want uncle Daemon to die!" The child muttered the word between gasps of air. She was breathing heavily at this point from the overflowing rage she experienced. "If you ever really cared you wouldn't want uncle Daemon to die! Same for you for the stranger uncle Daemon! When you really love someone you never want them to die! You would do anything to keep them from dying! Yet here you are threatening each other!" Penny shook her head and glared at both of them with tears in her eyes. "YOU'RE BOTH BIG FAT LIARS!"
The child stepped backwards her hand shakily resting atop the head of Raijiin. She pet the creature with one hand as her other rest on the head of Vasuki. The child was locked in place with a steady glare that often faltered due to the tears streaming down her cheeks. " Nobody is going to die right now! Not unless I die first!"

"A monster? You feared me? Yet here you are standing firm and I have not harmed you. I would never harm you. I can't." He said as he shook his head and before he could continue he saw Penny enter the field with wide eyes.
"What are you doing here?" he said sternly. He had done his best to avoid being followed here. This place was sacred to him and meant for him and Ivy and them alone. though his face softened as he saw the girl begin to cry and blubber about.
He walked over and knelt down in front of the young child and wiped a tear from her face. "Shhh. Uncle Dameon wouldn't dare harm the pretty lady and she won't hurt me, ok? No one will die." he said quietly with a soft smile as he mentally added a 'yet' in his mind. With war on the horizon it was inevitable. That was when he saw Penny's care taker arrive. The man was overly protective and wherever she went he was sure to be close behind. Though the man's accusing glare made Dameon frown.
"You'd best keep a better eye on the girl lest something happen to her." he spoke as he leveled his own glare at the angel though his gaze did not linger on Ixio for long as it trailed back to Ivy.
"You should know I do not enjoy killing. Life is precious. It's why I did what I did so long ago. I did it to protect humanity and this world from itself the only way I know that will work. Though perhaps we will converse another time." his gaze returned to Ixio with a look of warning. If the man attacked he would be forced to intervene and prevent him from harming his wife.
"Ixio." he said with warning in his tone. "You will take Penny back to the castle, I will be along shortly. If you do not comply I will be forced to do it for you. As for the woman she is of no concern to you or Lucian nor does she bear any threat to us and as such she is to be left alone." He slowly walked over to the angel and leaned over to his ear.
"I do not like to make threats and I do not make them lightly. So if I learn that you have told Lucian about anything regarding what happened here..." he whispered so quietly only Ixio could hear him, "I do not wish to see the child hurt but it is the only thing I have to keep you quiet." his tone was sincere as he did care for the child and would do his best to protect her from the harsh realities of the world and keep her innocent and pure for as long as possible.
"Besides, I will tell Lucian in due time when such information is relevant... if he doesn't already know." Dameon would not be surprised at all if Lucian already knew of Ivy and his relationship she and Dameon shared.
With his threat said he stood up and walked over to Ivy and once again spoke quietly so as though only she could hear. He really hated talking secretly and quietly as it was making him feel rather awkward. Though he was also ready should anyone attack the other as he stood tense.
"It would be best if you leave. As for your request, I am afraid My path is set. I will follow Lucian and I will see on upon the battlefield." He couldn't help but smirk at that. He was truly anxious to see just how skilled she had become. He had always been the best of the two and he was eager to see just how much she had close the gap between them. He reached out and grabbed Ivy's left hand and kissed the ring she still wore upon it before he let it go and turned his back to Ivy as he watched both Penny and Ixio closely to allow Ivy to leave.

How dare you command me! Only Master Lucian commands me! He almost bites Dameon. He hears the man say to retreat or be forced to do so. Laughing his teeth can be seen. You can try but you'd never land a hit. Im the fastest of all of Lucian's generals. He hears dameon as he whispers in his ear. He glares at the women and then turns his head to Penny. Not looking at Dameon he could sense the sincerity of his words. As if id lower myself to be a snitch, that's 11's job. Don't worry your secret is safe with me. Also I advise you not use Penny as a bargaining chip to silence me cause then all bets are off. He takes in a deep breath as her scent fill his nose. He turns to face Penny and speaks again. She smells of the same tainted curse that inflects you. Wonder why that is? Hehehehe. Just know for my silence you owe me one. I always collect on my debts. He picks Penny up with his paw and places her on his back. Lets go home. That's enough excitement for one day.╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════╝M O O D: Enraged, understanding T H I N K I N G: How dare you!

Ivy’s eyes narrowed at the small annoying child. She disliked children in her old age, and even the one she had often annoyed her. “Hear that Dameon? No more dying!—No more killing. But i haven’t existed in a long time.” Ivy spoke as she looked towards the kingdom.
“I’ll see you on the battle field. Let’s hope your path with lucian isn’t set for you to meet your death.”

Dameon's smirk fell as he heard Ivy;s words. He could tell she had seemingly grown bitter but perhaps that was mostly his fault. He shook his head and pulled his face mask back over his face and let his body dissolve into mist as he flew back to the kingdom feeling more conflicted than when he had arrived. 'Huh, some vacation this was.' he scoffed mentally as he flew off.-Exits-
