Mitsuki's head was spinning. It was all far too much to take in all at once.
Shaking her head to clear it, she looked questioningly at Persephony. "What war? Persephony, you never said anything about a war. Telli Delon has been peaceful for centuries. What aren't you telling us? If it's something we should know, how can you keep it from us? I thought you were our friend." Tears began to p***k at the angel's eyes. These past few weeks had been so stressful, and now it was all getting to be too much. It was taking all her strength not to just give up and collapse into a sobbing heap right here.

"I will die if I have to. I have come to accept that over the years." Amaya growled as she opened her eyes. Instead of the Icy Gray-blue color, her eyes were now blood red. "I thought you were our friend too. It took weeks of searching and sacrifice for all of us to find you, and now you don't want to leave." She hissed as she looked at Persephony in dissappointment and anger. "I've had it with all of you on Telli Delon. You're all the same. Not one of you are any different." She said with spite in her voice as her claws grew out. She wasn't turning into her demon form quiet yet. But whenever she was angry, her eye color would change to red. Her claws however, were used to rip open dimensions to the demon world.
"All of you on Telli Delon are the same. You lose a loved one, then you flip out and try to find out how to bring them back, unable to deal with the pain." She said. "I lost two loved ones long before you ever came around!" Amaya shouted as she looked at Persephony. "I've been dealing with the pain for over 50,000 years! I never tried to bring them back or find them justice, because they are dead and I can only respect their souls as they are! I let it eat me up inside to try and help you find justice for your human husband and your kids! Now you just turn your back on us. You are all bent on love and happy endings! That's not how the world works! I'm never returning to Telli Delon again!" Amaya finally shouted as tears began to roll down her cheeks. She ripped open a dimension to the demon world and then dissappeared inside of it, storming off into the world that was her true home and killing anything in sight. She finally turned into her demon form and just kept tearing apart anything in sight as tears continued to roll down her cheeks. Her heart was broken from the death of her husband and child, but now it was like it had been ripped out, and the anger built up over the years didn't help.

Mitsuki called after Amaya trying to stop her, but it was too late. "Amaya!!!! Amaya please! Stop, come back! Amaya!!" That was the last straw. The tears that she had been holding back started to flow down her face now as pain and anger clouded her eyes.
"Damn you Persephony!!! This is all your fault. We came here to save you because we thought you were dieing. We ned your help to prevent this tragedy from happening again, and all you can think about is youself.
You aren't the only one who's lost someone and you know that all too well! We're trying to make sure that no one else ever has to feel that pain, and you'd rather stay here just because it's easier?!" Words failed her now so she just gave Persephony one last heart renching stare before turning her back to her.
She wouldn't leave just yet, clinging to that last shread of hope that Persephony might change her mind. But she couldn't take much more of this. There was only so much that even the strongest of angels could bear, and Mitsuki had never claimed to be that strong.

After hours of pointless murder, Amaya finally fell to the ground in anguish and curled up in a ball as she sobbed. She turned back into her normal form and shook lightly as she sobbed over the pain she felt. It had been so long ago, but the memory was still fresh in her mind. So long had it been bottled up, and now it just poured out through her emotions. The pain only worsened, Persephony, turning her back on Amaya and the others.
She was laying at the top of a mountian, and after a few hours of venting her anguish and anger, she finally stood up and realized where she was. She sighed and with a loud clang, dropped all of her weapons to the ground. It was dangerous for her to be here, but out of consiousness, she felt that she came here, seeking comfort, even though the comfort was probably hazardeous. As if on cue, someone landed softly behind her and slowly walked up, chuckling a little. "Smart move, Amaya. You know better than to come here armed. I could have killed you in an instant." A man voice said as a hand touched her shoulder and spun her around.
"Not today, Caden. I'm not in the mood for your sick jokes..." Amaya said apathetically as she looked at the man, although tears were falling down her face again. "Hey, hey. What happened. Why are you crying? What's wrong sister?" Caden said now softer as he wiped the tears away from her eyes and hugged her. "Remember my friend, Persephony? The one I told you about, the elf girl?" Amaya asked as she looked at him with sadness in her eyes. He nodded a little and then looked at her sternly. "What did she do?" He asked, already sounding angry. "You were right. She ditched us. She found some man to love. Some man that tried to kill her, so I almost commited suicide to get to her, and then she didn't want to return home! I spent so many years with her, trying to help her at least find some justice for her dead family. And then she just turned her back on us....like the man mattered more. I hate them all. I'm never returning to Telli Delon again." Amaya hissed as her gaze fell to the ground.
Caden sighed and put two fingers beneath her chin gently and turned her gaze back up at him. "I told you this would happen. It always does. If you truely hate them, then why not return to Telli Delon just one last time, to destroy that cursed planet that brought you so much pain and suffering?" He said as he looked at her. "You're the destructive one. Not me...not since the day Yumi and Vince died..." She said as tears welled up in her eyes again. Caden wiped away the tears and then gave her a small smile. "That's not true. You helped me a few times even after that tragedy. Come on. One last time. They probably had it coming to them soon again anyways." He encouraged her. She thought for a while and then slowly nodded, agreeing with Caden. "The planet that Persephony loved so dearly will become dust. She is no longer associated with me." Amaya hissed as her eyes turned red.
Caden smirked, finally able to convince his sister to help him destroy the planet she dispised so much and then ripped a small hole in the back of her shirt, just as Amaya did the same to him. They placed their hands on eachother's cresent moon and then closed their eyes. "Awaken the demons." The siblings said in unison, and then a black aura began to whip around the peak of the mountain as they smirked.

Their looks they shot her, the words... She couldn't even explain herself, or try to defend against this onslaught. "Mistuki-"
Taken aback by Amaya's anger, her eyes went blank as tears rose and fell, shaking her head slightly. "You don't under-. If I could just-!" Her hands clenched into fists, not even bothering to try to interject anymore. Silence...thats all she could do as Amaya left, lowering her head as she slowly sat down in her chair, her eyes hidden by shadow.
"My fault....? Is it really that simple? Do you ever pause to think that perhaps things aren't so ******** simple?! ITS EASIER TO ASSUME AND BLAME THAN LISTENING OR EVEN GIVING SOMEONE A CHANCE TO EXPLAIN!!!" She barked, her voice filling the room. She was suddenly in front of Mitsuki, grabbing her by the front of her clothes and pulling her off the ground. "Curse someone, judge someone, it never changes...And now this....You think I don't ******** know those things?! I KNOW! BELIEVE ME I ******** KNOW OK?"
Her eyes were scarred, she knew what she had done long before this world even existed. Letting Mistuki go, she roared in anger, pain, frustration, saddness, grief, and for all the lies...She punched straight through the wall, leaving a dent in the one on the other side of the corridor. Sinking to her knee's, her shoulders shaking slightly. "I know how this world started, how the demons world started, the ages that have past, the eons of the universe...I know too much, seen too much, done....things I didn't even know I had done....Life is a lie, and if the truth were told then there would be no hope or light in anyones lives. So go ahead Mistuki...go ahead and hate me, you wouldn't be the first and far from the last. Go ahead and wish me dead Amaya, I wish I were...I wish I had been ages and ages ago....long before the humans existed...." She started speaking distantly, as if to no one and everyone, a sad half-smile on her lips. She was hollow again, all the images of her past doings running in front of her as if laughing.

After weeks of planning in the demon world, which was a few hours on Telli Delon, Amaya and Caden finally came up with their sinister plan. They appeared through a portal into the base, where Amaya led Caden to the computer room. "Do you have separate files from the computer's memory?" Caden asked as he looked at his sister. "Of course I do. I'm fully aware the memory is important." Amaya said as she lightly tapped her temples. Caden nodded and then set the gaint computer on fire before they moved to the next room. The Orchard They stopped for a second a looked around the room as Caden looked over to his sister for approval. "Burn it." Amaya said before she turned and left the room as Caden began setting the trees on fire.
They went outside after deciding lighting to two most important rooms in the base on fire was enough and the two siblings started to head for the rivers. It wasn't as hard as one would think for a demon to destroy an entire planet, the only thing that stops them is the fact that most are too weak to do so. A demon would have to be pretty strong if they even wanted a chance to destroy a planet without being killed. But neither Amaya nor Caden expected to live to see the end of their work, only to watch it fall into chaos.

'Valen' narrowed his eyes, growling. "We have to go, now. Amaya and her brother have set fire to the place. They are trying to destroy the planet. I hate it when people do something stupid in their ignorence.
Persephony looked up, her eyes wide. "What?! No we have to-"
"Persephony there is not time! we need to get out, now!" He said firmly, grabbing her arms. "I'll go and take care of those two-"
"No, you won't. You will make sure that Mitsuki, Illusen, and Ryo are safe. Do what you can to ensure the inhabitants safety, you'll have to take them away from here if I fail." She interjected, touching his cheek and kissing him softly. "I love you...I will find you again, I promise." She then turned to Mitsuki and Illusen, her eyes filled with an everlasting saddness and understanding that was beyond her age as an elf.
Fading from their view, she appeared in front of Amaya and Caden, appearing quite calm. "Amaya, I can't let you do this. You are making a mistake. You wouldn't let me explain, if you had let me then I doubt this would be happening."

"The only mistake I ever made in my life was believing that I could find a friend on Telli Delon. This would have happened sooner or later. My brother just helped me see the light earlier." Amaya said as she glared at Persephony. "Just leave the planet and go to your little world with your lover and dissappear." She growled.
"Come sister. The elf isn't worth your time. Let's continued and then finish this once and for all." Caden said as he glared at Persephony and took Amaya lightly by the arm and started leading her away.

(( any and all near god-modding is difficult to avoid given what she is. So, I'm doing my best to not, but if I do, then I am kinda slapping myself.)) Persephony shook her head slightly, looking at them still. "See, you already misinterpreted what I said. I had meant that I would remain by his side, or he by mine. I would return to Telli Delon."
Chuckling, she felt that familiar twinge in her nature, grabbing ahold of their essence, their being, soul, whatever you wanted to call it, an ironic chuckle escaping her. "And that is just one problem, I'm not quite an elf actually. I found out two days ago. By all technicallities, I'm older than your entire race. Funny isn't it?" Her hands were relaxed at her sides, walking over to them, standing in front of Amaya. "I'm afraid if you destroy this planet, it does affect your own. You are just hurting your own people and selves. No win situation, just don't do it."

"I don't care about the planets. I don't care about my world. Caden and I aren't going to live much longer anyway." Amaya said as she growled at Persephony. "I don't care who or what you are. I'm blowing this planet to kingdom come. And leaving you all behind once and for all." She told her as Caden placed a hand on her shoulder. "Let my sister alone. It is her choice. We've run out of options. We're both going to die in a few days. And with all this bent up anger, why not go out with a bang?" Caden said as he smirked. It was true. They were both dying. They had been for months. Caden tried to find a cure, and Amaya brought him everything he needed, but there was nothing. Amaya shrugged it off and then just continued to walk. "Stop me if you want, but otherwise, stay out of my way." She said as she continued walking, just brushing Persephony away.

Persephony didn't seem to change expression, internally she hadn't known. "No, you aren't. Blow a different planet, just not this one." She tilted her head, thinking. "If you wanted an extension, you could have asked. I probably could give you both one." She muttered, grabbing Amaya's arm in a death grip, one of her spirits holding her brother. "To be honest I don't want to fight you, but then again, whats my life worth now anyway?" Her eyes darkened, ice stabbing through both of them, the water in their blood spiking throughout their bodies, only in smaller crystals.

Mitsuki didn't, couldn't, turn back to face Persephony. But she was listening. Deep down she knew that, perhapes, she was right. But the pain she felt at the moment made it too hard to think that way. It was so much easier to simplify things to blame it on someone that she could take it out on than on a mass ofevents that she could do nothing to. She had felt helpless for so long, she couldn't bare to feel that way any longer.
When Persephony grabbed her by her clothes and lifted her off her feet she did not struggle, but she also did not look her in the eye. She kept her face averted, tears still pouring down her cheeks.
It was all she could do to stay on her feet when Persephony let her go. All the anger that had been giving her what little strength she had was leaving her now and she felt that hard yet painfully empty pit opening in her stomach and, worse, her heart again. In the past month she had had to face things that she had tryed not to think of for years, things she wished she could forget forever, but knew she never could.
She jumped when Persephony punched a hole in the wall. When she began talking about knowing how things started and so on, Mitsuki became rather confused. She knew Persephony was old, but she couldn't believe she was that old.
But before she had a chance to say anything, the man spoke and Persephony was gone. As she watched her fade away, Mitsuki mummbled to her "I'm sorry Persephony. I'm sorry." She hadn't truely ment what she said, and she hadn't stopped listening as Persephony seemed to have thought she did. If she had, she would have left as Amaya had, not just turned her back. She would have listened, but Persephony hadn't offered and explaination. At least not one that made any sence at all.
And so she and Illusen were left alone with the man who had kidnapped Persephony and tryed to rid Telli Delon of humans. She wasn't sure she trusted him, but if Persephony trusted him enough to leave them in his 'protection', she'd give him a chance.

"We don't want an extension. We've lived long enough." Amaya hissed. Her blood spiked and her only indication that it caused her any pain was one flinch when it began, while Caden didn't even seem to know what was going on. It was truely agonizing, but Amaya was a master of making things seem less intense than they were, and she made this look as though she simply got a paper cut.
Caden disspelled the spirit and then glared at Persephony. He was gone within a second and then standing behind her as he grabbed her hair roughly and yanked her head back. "You have one second to realease my sister." He hissed before he kneed her in the back. Amaya suddenly started coughing horribly, and blood came up as she coughed even hader, putting a hand over her mouth, she fell to her knees, just letting Persephoy hold her death grip while Caden quickly released Persephony and knelt next to his sister, trying to help her, though there wasn't much he could do at the moment except comfort her. Suddenly becoming extremely worried, he leaned over and looked at he cresent moon on her back. It was becoming thinner. He groaned and then shook his head sadly, before he looked up at Persephony.
"I promise you we will never return if you just release my sister." Caden said as he gazed up at her, his eyes filled with sadness. "Just let me take her home." He begged her, truely sincere about it, just wanting to take Amaya home before the moon faded. "I will fix what we have done and leave Telli Delon forever. Just let Amaya go...I beg you." The concerned brother said as he stroked Amaya's back gently, trying to comfort her from some of the pain.

"We have to find a way back to Telli Delon," Illusen said quietly, sinking into a corner. "We have to warn everyone. We have to get out of here." Her eyes stared into no where. She knew that no animal could take them through a dimension, none on Telli Delon could. And for all she'd seen, there was nothing on this planet. "Let's explore. C'mon," she told Mitsuki.

Mitsuki couldn't believe she was going to say what she was about to, but she had no choice. "Illusen, I think Persephony wanted us to stay here. At least here, we're safe. There's nothing we can do back home. Sure we can warn everyone, but what good will it do? Just cause panic, and they'll still die if Persephony can't stop Amaya and her brother. And I don't think that you and I stand a chance of that. Persephony is the reason Amaya is mad, so Persephony is the only one who can calm her."
She turned to the man who was with them. "I'm right, aren't I? I heard bits of what Persephony was saying. She wanted you to protect us, make sure we were safe." She looked to the last place Persephony had been, a small lump rising in her throat. "Do you think she stands a chance? I can't remember hardly everseeing Amaya this angry before. She's talked about destroying the world, but that's far away from actually doing it."
