Not aware of the time Aurora wondered if Sason was still waiting for her. She wasn't sure quite what he wanted, but he had gone so far as to call for her over the intercom before she was able to get too far on her walk after breakfast. Though, speaking of food, she had eaten nothing since the soup, and seeing as the alcohol had warn off during her nap, Aurora was feeling less than she should. "Kitchen first." She sighed, pausing for a moment, wondering what to do with the flower. The tree had a hole in it, so after ripping the note off the thing she stuck it in there for some happy little insect to snack on. What use would she have for it anyway?
With that she climbed down and went toward the manor. Inside she passed by a few of the staff, who looked up, and then went back to their work. Inside the kitchen she found Francis, holding his head, but cleaning up after lunch. It looked like there was still some left, so when she sat down at one of the stools, he looked up and made her a plate. Sliding it over for her to dig into without much of a word otherwise.

 Sason gave up on his idea for now but kept the bracelet, forgetting it's power worked simply on contact so as long as he had it on his person he only had his angelic blood to give him any strength other than that he was practically human. Shoving the bracelet in his pocket ye walked down to the kitchen looking for something to eat. He walked past most of the staff who didn't even turn to look at him, they didn't feel his incubus aura so they assumed it was another member of the staff walking by. Walking into the kitchen he smiled seeing the two people he needed to talk to. Walking up to the kitchen his appearance started to change, his hair and eyes darkened to look much like Kahls black, ajd all of this he was unaware of. "Francis, Aurora I need one of yours help. I need someone to accompany me to the demon world. I need someone to make sure I don't succumb to my demons while I'm there, keep me on track if you would. I have a special bracelet that'll make you immune to my hightened demonic influence so you won't have to worry about that. Either one of you would be perfect so which ever of you is up for it" he said standing there as Francis looked at Sason with a puzzled look. "Uhm Sason something seems to be off with your appearance" he says holding up a polished pan and Sason finally saw the change "wait what?! This can't be...... wait" he saws fishing the bracelet from his pocket and the moment the bracelet leaves his touch his features return to normal "that bracelet is mixed with onyx ajd iron, it negates ajd nearly absorbs demonic and magical energy. Wearing it will make you unable to use magic or demonic powers, like my fire or incubus aura, in fact that made it so my angelic blood and form took dominance. It'll also make you immune from outside magical influence. It's seems to only alter my form, others have worn it ajd been unable to use their powers. So whichever one of you wants to join me on a trip to hell let me know I need to grab some things from my castle" he says like asking someone to go to hell was perfectly normal

Picking at her plate she looked up at Francis; the idea of teasing him for what he said before he left with Sason crossed her mind, but he looked pretty hung over already. A punishment in of itself, and a small price to pay in the name of alcohol. So she just went on eating, enjoying the company, but also the silence at the same time. At least for a short while before Sason entered the room from behind her. She had to wonder if this was the request he was planning to ask of her before, which went along with his question on if she ever wanted to visit his realm.
Without lifting her head, Aurora tilted her gaze to Francis, who's brows were knit together enough for her to wonder why he looked so confused. The request couldn't have been enough to produce that type of look. Turning around, Aurora had to do a double take, because for a moment she thought she was looking at Kahl. Chocking a little on the food she had been chewing, Aurora reached for her glass to clear her throat as Francis brought the strange happenings to Sason's attention.
When the bracelet was set down beside her she watched as his hair went back to it's normal silver white, and his eyes flashed into their typical color. As he speaks of the bracelet and it's powers, or rather the repression of, Aurora reaches for it and looks it over. While it is in her hand she stretches out with the other one to grab hold of Francis wrist, lets go, touches it again, and lets go. Then she turns to Sason and touches his arm, her eyes blink over to blue, just as they had been the day before. Pulling her hand away she sets the bracelet down, her eyes reverting back to normal. "Has to be something similar to those damn collars." All of Aurora's power was thanks to her demon side, without it, she might as well be living her human day...which that bracelet would most likely revert her to if she wore it long enough and it pushed back her demon blood as it had with Sason, leaving him only the angels half.
He spoke as if he was taking a drive to the beach. Just going to visit hell, like it was no big deal. "Isn't that where you just sent Kahl? Back to your realm?" Twenty four hours didn't seem like enough time for Kahl to cool off after being beat. But maybe his castle was well protected and Sason planned to be in and out. Aurora still wasn't quite sure how either Francis or herself were supposed to be of help. How do you keep someone from falling into line with their demons? He wanted one of them to wear the bracelet and be in close proximity to his raging hormone of a teenager incubus side. Aurora could name the ways something could go wrong. So she asked one more question, "Why the rush?"

Sason shakes his head when she brings up Kahl. Sason wanders off ajd comes back with a pen and paper and starts drawing a diagram; with earth in the center and 7 circles branching off, he begins to label each for the element of the Lord that rules it "each lord has a realm that they have dominion over ad the demons that live in it. When a lord is killed or severely wounded they return to their realm where their power is strongest. Earth has the strongest damper on our powers. When they return to their realm like that they stay there from between a month ajd 100 years depending on the injury ajd the lord to recover. Decapitating Kahl will probably keep him at bay for about 2 months given the amount of magical energy he possesses. Mal however will be out for about a year. Now the rush is that I ran into the Lord of water on my way to you. And since he didn't kill me that means there is someone else he'd rather kill me instead, like Titan or cross. So if they are here I need to get pandoras box ajd the codex as soon as possible. The reason for that is..... think of the lords as rpg roles. Kahl is a mage, high magical and uses it with his weapon, Mal is a DPS type, very fast attack with lots of power. Shimo is a warrior, I am a battle mage, high magic ajd equally high melee and the rage of a bezerker. Mazaran is also a battle mage. Titan is a tank but with ungodly physical strengrh. Now cross is the dangerous one, he's a healer but can kill you with it ajd he has no love for humans since he was forced to rule the gateway to heaven and keep demons from feasting on humans that he believes are lower than he." He explains and looks at the bracelet "I can't keep the portal home open without my powers but if I go in my realm without someone there wearing the bracelet nearby I'll fall into the demon of rage that I am. I need someone who either has demonic blood to withstand the energies in hell or have had enough exposure that they're resistant to it. Which is why you and Francis are the only ones I can ask. No demon will touch you while you're near me ajd you'll be honored guests in my castle which is a safe haven for the pure human souls waiting to pass to heaven after repenting for their living sins." He says softly hoping for their help

This all sounded like it should have been general demon knowledge, that even a halfie such as herself should know, but Aurora had never had anyone to explain it to her. Most humans thought there was just one realm, hell, and that's where demons were. Aurora had believed much in the same but that perhaps there were boarders within the realm that divided up the land for each ruler. With how Sason was describing it, she had been wrong. Each realm was separate from the other, but all connected to Earth, which made her wonder if one could travel from Earth to a realm, did that mean that Earth always had to be the middle point in travel? Or could a person move from one realm to the other. She didn't ask, he was still explaining other things.
He was talking in theories now, because there really was no way to know what was on these other lords minds except that they wanted to persuade him to join them in passing this thing about feasting on humans. Aurora had heard both the terms of pandoras box and a codex before, though she knew not what they entailed as people usually spoke of them in varying ways. Then he truly lost her as he related all the lords in rpg roles. Some of it made a little sense, but it mostly went over her head, still she let him finish, not interrupting even as he moved on to speak of the bracelet one more.
Now she spoke, "Okay, I get the just of it...I think. But you said all that as though you thought I play those r-p-g game things often...or at all." With a shake of her head and a sigh Aurora continued, "Anyway, I still don't understand how myself or Francis wearing this bracelet is going to help you. Are we just serving as a reminder for your purpose so you don't loose yourself in the realm? And I assume your incubus nature will be heightened in this place, which just yesterday that onyx jewelry completely broke away, so it that," Aurora pointed at the bracelet, "Going to be strong enough to withstand it? Because I put that on and it represses my demon side, as you said, then I'm pretty much human again."

Sason picked up the bracelet and his demon traits faded almost instantly. When he did, Auroras demon traits faded slightly but not completely "this bracelet is an odd one as it effects people differently and it produces an aura when it's used. From what I've seen in the past, halflings like you only lose demon form, but powers stay the same as they seem to work on natural ability not demonic magic. You're demon self only is a catalyst that allows the powers to be used. In my experience. So you'll still technically be a demon in human form but if you wear it it dampens MY powers enough that I don't lose myself. As for it breaking, that's the beauty of it all, the iron absorbs aura like that and dissolves it. I've taken this thing into the underworld before ajd it's come out just fine. I'd say you're only issue would be if you yourself wanted the influence and the source of it. But I think both of you would be fine on that one." He says feeling that his feelings for her are one way, not being able to tell she had the same dream as he did the other day. Setting the bracelet down he lowers his head and sighs, dropping to a bow "I'm asking this because there is no one else I CAN ask and there's no other way. It has to be done soon before one of the lords decides to come straight here" he says with his head lowered like he's pleading

Sason had protected her from both Kahl and Mal, perhaps it was a little silly that she was asking all these questions. It wasn't like he would openly put her in harms way, as if there wasn't a chance of them running into the other council members then it couldn't be that bad of a trip. What else was she going to be doing anyway? It would be a change of scenery, Aurora hadn't been out of the manor and it's grounds for just about a week now. In that time she had explored most that it had to offer. So while she still wasn't quite sure what it all was going to entail, or how the bracelet was going to take affect, it sounded like Sason definetly needed someone to join him.
The only thing she did know was that the bracelet took away her ability to read people, and most likely the same with objects. From Sason's explaining's it sounded like she would still be a demon, just not in appearance, which meant her strength would still be there, and she probably wouldn't feel human, which was a consolation. Aurora was about to shrug and tell him she would go when he bowed, head lowered, a sign close to that of submission. It was doubtful that this was something normal for him, he seemed stubborn enough, like herself, that this had to take a lot. Glancing at Francis who was also a little stunned Aurora shook her head, "None of that." She told Sason, "It's fine. I'll go."

Sason smiled and stood up "thank you, I promise you'll return unharmed." He says straightening his outfit. He knew this was a promise he could keep. His strength in the demon world is what made him the demon king, unmatched by any of the lirds. He knew time was of the essence but didn't want to jump head first into this. "Well leave this evening and be back shortly after dawn" he says softly, the underworld was a very large place and the closest her could get was one of the outer gates behind the castle. As the sun dipped below the trees Sason stood outside the chained door in the Fire wing. Opening it he was face with what looked like an empty frame of a large siege gate. Not waiting for anyone just yet he started muttering an ancient incantation as a fall of flames appeared in his hands. Slowly it's flames darkened until the flames were as black as night. Plunging the fire into the gap of the frame filled with with a massive portal in the shape of the closed doors of the gate. Now he waited for Aurora, the bracelet sitting on a table next to the portal. The power flowing from the portal made his armor fade in and out of existance, as well as his own power coming off in the same faint waves. It had been such a long time since he had been home it'll be interesting to say the least

Nodding as he told her the plans, Aurora was glad she had gotten a nap in while she sat in the tree since they were looking to be up all night again. With him up off the floor, and everything worked out, Aurora went back to her food. She needed the energy, her body was still trying to right itself and a break in routine was throwing her off a little bit more. But it sounded like this was something that needed to be done, after all Sason was willing to bend down before her when she had been but a slave but a week ago. In some ways she was still a slave, and not necessarily by any of Sason's doing, it was just that it was hard to believe she could be anything but. Aurora had tried to escape this life for years and even her success ended in failure as there was always a way that she had come back to being a slave. It was like it was impossible to break free.
She was in her room at the window while the sun set. The reds and yellows and oranges of it's dying rays painting the sky in vibrant hues, offset only by the green of the trees which grew up to weave their way into the scene. There was a book in her hands, but it had been sitting open on the same page for a while now, as she had gotten distracted by the sight outside her window.
Sason was most likely ready to go, it would be best to find him now. He had told her to come to the fire safe hall, apparently whatever kind of portal they were leaving through was there. Or maybe he needed to summon it with fire itself, which could also explain the need for a none burning place. Slipping on shoes, Aurora left her room, closing the door behind her and making her way down the stairs and then the hall. Sason was easy to find, though she could have followed the strength of the portal blindfolded to find him if she had needed to. The energy was unearthly, which made it even easier to pick up on. Besides that it almost called to her demon side, something about it just felt right. Yet at the same time, her human half was uneasy, a natural instinct to flee such a thing. It was with that mix of feeling that Aurora spotted the bracelet sitting on the table and figured it would have to go on before they went through the portal. Securing it to her left wrist, Aurora let out a soft sigh, and with the next blink her eyes were different, her hair lost some of it's length and it's color, but he was right, she still felt normal.
((Sorry this took a little while. Things have been a little crazy. I have some family visiting for a few days next week and next weekend I leave to travel abroad so that will keep me away for a little while too. Just giving you the heads up on that one.))

((Thanks for the heads up. I figured it was something like that you don't strike me as the person to leave a roleplay without saying a word)) As she walked in and put on the bracelet Sason couldn't help but smile. She had come when he needed her, unlike others in such a situation. And she was willing to do what needed to be done to stop this horror the council was trying to enact. And he'd be certain to make sure she saw this through to the end unharmed. As they stood before the portal, even with the bracelets power over him his armor slowly solidified until he assumed the form he took when they faced kahl. Only difference was his entire face was covered in a smooth mask that covers his eyes ajd hair. Standing there in his full demon armor he doesn't even look like the man who walked her from the slave shop only a week and a half ago. Turning to he he held out a hand "lets go" he says siftly, still in control of himself despite the flow of power. Getting closer to her, his armor slowly fading and revealing his skin underneath but like it was covered in a film. Sason hadn't been to hell in almost 30 years so this will be quite the trip

Looking out into the portal Aurora analyzed the intricate details of the gated door. From the corner of her eye she noticed Sason changing, armor coming to settle over every part of him, including a mask that turned him into a figure she could not even recognize. He no longer looked like Sason...and perhaps that was the point, he was supposed to be a king, and in this armor, he looked more the part then ever before. What lay in wait for them beyond that door? Aurora had to wonder if there would be anyone coming at the pair for a fight, or if the armor was more of a guise, used as a statement of power.
Either way it seemed she would very soon find out. With his hand in front of her and the invitation that they get going, Aurora returned it with a short nod and by lifting her braceleted hand up into his. In the moment that she got nearer the armor came to be translucent, revealing the person she knew underneath. And when her hand did touch his...nothing. Aurora saw nothing, just as she hadn't seen anything in the kitchen with Sason first procured the bracelet and she had tested it then. It was with this thought that she took a step forward with him. It was with this thought that the pair entered the portal and made it into the demon realm. It was with this thought that Aurora found herself at one of the outer gates beyond the castle, studying a realm she had never believed she would see.

Hell definately looked different from what one would think of a pit of eternal suffering. It looked like a massive 18th century European village with a giant castle in view from the cliff they stood on "welcome to the fourth ring the ring of humans" he said and slowly his demonic presence began to grow as the pressure from Earth faded from him. Despite the bracelet nearby his armor completed and he flexed his hands and rolled his shoulders. Without an easy way to get down he picked Aurora up and jumped off the cliff only to land a hundred feet below them on one of the roads of the town. Human souls and demons walk the streets and look as content as anyone walking down the road in the human world. This ring of hell was where his castle lay and allowed him easy access to the other six rings

This wasn't quite what she thought it was going to be. After all, the way hell looked meant that a lot of people had everything all wrong about the place. It wasn't blazing hot, there was no hell fire to speak of, and instead of the screams of agony it was rather peaceful. "Ring of humans?" Aurora asked, wondering if that meant there were other rings devoted to those not of human nature. She thought the whole place would have been infested with demons, hell was kind of their home. When she looked over she was a little surprised to see his suit completed, and the heightened power that rolled off of him. With a swallow she turned her head back to the view, once again reminded of just who Sason was.
Not a moment later her feet were no longer on the ground. Aurora had been picked up enough times, and without her permission, that her response had become habit. "Hey!! What do you think-" Before she had the chance to finish they were in the air and instinct took over. Aurora tucked her head against his chest and wrapped her arms around him. It was an adrenaline rush, her hair wiping around her, the fabric of her dress billowing in the air, the cliff getting further and further away. She wasn't about to look down but then they landed, and everything stopped moving. Lifting her head she set a stern look at Sason, or rather his mask. "A warning next time would be nice." Being this close brought back the memory of last nights dream, one of his hands were on her upper thigh, the other just barely grazing her chest, but his armor was an extra layer between them. "You can put me down now."

His playful chuckle sounded light and caring despite the war going on inside him as he set her down "now where would be the fun in a warning?" He teased and even with the mask in the way it was obvious he had a big grin plastered on his face. Sason smiled and started walking towards the massive black castle that was his original home. They were behind the megalithic structure meaning they were much closer than if Sason had dropped them through the Cerberus gate. "There are seven rings to hell, each serves a specific purpose. The first ring is purgatory, pure souls being expunged of all possible sin before passing onto cross then to heaven. Now most of the Rings are technically for humans but it all depends on how they died. The 4th ring is humans who won't pass to heaven but died of no fault of their own, usually the murdered or old age. 2 and 3 are for children and suicide respectively. 5 is for animals that have passed ajd this and the fifth are the only two freely connected. 6 is for deceased demons and the 7th is for the worst of humans and demons, the rapists murderers and those that deserve eternal damnation are sent there" he explains stopping to kneel down and pet the soul of a dog that had passed of age. In the demon world souls are as real and solid as a person on earth so this dog is alive and well and soft and a kitten to the touch, it's tail wagging as the retriever receives affection from Sason

Her lips were a tight line as he laughed. She could just imagine the grin he was wearing, but what would he think if he knew what even after he put her down she swore she could still feel his hands against her. Crossing her arms was only a guise to put her own hand where his own had been. Aurora followed along after him, her eyes trying to take everything in, and like any new place, there was a lot to see. On their walk he explained the rings in better detail.
It sounded so sad to have a full ring of children; as strange as it may sound, Aurora had a bit of a soft spot for children, well the ones who weren't cruel anyway. Kids could be the most accepting, and the most hurtful depending on which way they sided. Suicide though she always thought was a fairly selfish act. It might be rather fitting that they stayed in a ring of their own. As he knelt to pet a dog that must have traveled from the fifth ring Aurora felt something brush against her leg and looked down to find a calico cat nuzzling her. Seeing how Sason so easily was showing affection to the dog, Aurora bent over to run her hand over the cat. The calico rolled it's back against her hand, it's tail curling around her hand for a moment before it turned around to find her hand once more.
