"You have no questions? I wish only to accomadate you before speaking myself. If you have anything you wish to ask I will answer honestly. Well so long as you dont ask the wrong question. But unless I am about to answer a question about my plans for the future I will answer fully and completely truthfuly."

Haitian shrugged. "Not entirely certain. I used to have to go to Earth to get a decent meal. Now, I just make my own from what I can salvage on the surface when I run out of supplies." He gestured around. "Ask one of these other demons or Devils or whatever. They're bound to know." He sat down in a nearby chair. "Anyways, what's with the probe?" He said, staring at it. He really wanted to destroy that thing. It was making him rather nervous.

"Why slaughter us, then act all nice like we would ally with you? If you wanted to, I can think of a ton of better ways you could of done it." Indrid snarled. He tried to remain calm but he couldn't find a reason why they wouldn't just talk to them.

 Alaric Zarkov Alaric chuckled a little as he watched the demon that was with him, " not much to say about it. It serves as an observer and gives me information about the area, provides a better link to my command and so forth" he said quietly before he took a seat on the ground and thought for a moment. " Dose it bother you" Alaric asked sounding curious. The probe began to move around the room and just did its own thing before it came hover beside Alaric's side. It brought back a memory of an old friend seeing as it was his skull that still stayed beside him and acted as a guide. Alaric sighed a little as he looked at the probe and old memories came into his mind, old friends long dead and gone at this point in time.

Grathrym shifted in his throne. He cahnged posistion. He now leaned forward and had his elbows on his knees. He let his arms hang down. "We wanted you to know something." Grathrym was looking at the cambion with a calm face and even calmer actions. "What we did was all we could do. If we just talked to you, you probablly wouldnt trust us. You would think we had alterior motives. Instead we gave you an example. Tell me.... Do you think us creul? I would hope so. I want you to see the true side to darkness. To teach you the hardships of life. However I want you to close your eyes and imagine this. After the attack you were left weakend. Many bodies of your allies were scatered among the grounds. Your friends dead. Now picture what it was like before the attack. Then imagine a giant wave of light. I dont care what shape it is but a utterly MASSIVE wave of light. It destroys everything. Buildings, bodies, houses, animals, people, mountians, everything. We let you bury your fallen comrades do we not? Well I want you to think of what it would be like to survive this wave of light. What would be like if all of your friends just..." Grathrym raised his hand in a fist. Then he opened it abrubtly and quickly. "Poof. All turned to dust. And then that dust... Was incenerated and destroyed as well. No burial ir cremation necessary. Well Thats what the purge is. There is no survival. Not yet anyways. I want to include you here. I want you to have as many rights as you can. I actually wish there was a way we could erase the memories of the battle. but then what will you have learned. That darkness is darkness and there is no other side. That light is light and they keep to themselves. Not in the least. We can be extremlly merciful. Ask Sydney. she stays with Noktal and his HUMAN wife which I will protect to the very end. The Light however wishes to destroy you. The wanderers and the humans. We have already allied with the humans. We stand a chance now. If you were to join us and help us form a mighty Triad of power. There would be no chance for the Celestials. We would help you search for the wanderers and bring them here to saftey. I will build you anew fort. A new home. You will be accepted here. We are all similar now. we are all enemies of the light. We canot fall to them. I ask you this. What is on your mind now? What image do you see? If I have at least taught you one thing here. No matter what it is I will be happy."

((Hmm... tailors and places. Bagarth supposedly would know where the human "markets" are because she's been there many times.))
And as predicted, Vandor left, disinterested and, with that tone and attitude, Bagarth suspected he was off to bother Grath, most likely.
Bagarth turned back to Antoinetta. "Well, now that he's gone, shall we dabble in Earth or our local Netherlands specialists? What are you in the mood for?" If they went to Earth, they could go in human form. It would make it easier to gain access and appear "normal" to the humans without having them suspect anything suspicious.
Even if the humans and demons were technically in an alliance now, Bagarth still rathered going her own ways about her non war related business.
((I confess writer's block is hitting me...))

Antoinetta considered for a moment, "Humans sound like fun." She smiled a cruel smile, one that contemplated the weak as a tool for the strong. "I've not been there in a while." Antoinetta generally didn't leave the confines of the Netherland unless she was bored to such a degree. "They can't all have become like our visitor." Humans tended to fawn over her, regarding her as something of an ornate doll. Sometimes it annoyed her, other times it pleased Ann's ego.

Haitian narrowed his eyes at the probe. "It just makes me a little....unsettled." He said. It reminded him of a spy drone. Or many of those UAVs that the humans had used in their many wars to find and kill each other. He sighed. "I think I'll just leave you to your work." He said. With that, he phased out of the room and left down the hall. Soon, he made his way to an outer wall of the fortress, and sat on the edge, overlooking the vastness of the Netherworld. It's many lava lakes bubbling up and it's energy streams streaking through the sky like auroras. "If only I could make Earth like this..." He thought aloud to himself.

((This post is to keep from falling behind as I intended Alastar to come through with Indrid. Please let me know if I take it a bit too far))
As the lycan came through the portal, he saw that Indrid was already being led away by a demon, having already signaled the flare for passage. Several things raced in his mind, but one stood clear. He took to the nearest shadows tailing them, making sure to remain hidden from any demon guards. He knew he might be noticed, but so far, things went well. Reaching the gates, he shifted through the shadows, porting himself to the other side, taking great care not to overexert himself by taking only short jumps.
Soon, though, they came to the throne room, and the conversation began. Remain in the shadows, the one eye barely visible, he watched and listened. He felt the cold raw power of the Demon Lord himself, forcing himself not to shiver as he felt powerless in front of him. Still, he listened to all the demon had to say to the first question : Why?
He understood immediately one reason of attack. Demons knew best how to communicate through battle and blood, that they had to get our attention first. He listened to the true side of darkness, and the purge. His heart plunged when burials were mentioned, his mind running to Sins lifeless body and then to that of Eris...why didnt he search for her first before all of this?
Crossing the thought from his mind, he listened further. He poured over the explanation in his mind, seeing the line of light and darkness being blurred, that the darkness was good where the light was bad, and yet the formal associations turned it the other way. It confused him, yet he understood as he thought of the angel that healed them. Hearing the explanation come to an end, he waited in the shadows, waiting for Indrid's next reply.

((Scythe, I suppose you could come and visit me, Sydney and Shari. Give you something to do.))
Shari began brushing her Sydney's hair, humming to the violin music. When Sydney mentioned the terms and requirements that got her to the Netherlands, she sniffed a bit sadly. Wrapping her arms around her, Shari hugged Sydney.
"Death is a terrible thing. I know Noktal was rough in his measures, but he means well. He always has. The only demon with a heart. And he caught mine." Shari's tone was sad and lonely. She knew she was not in a world that welcomed her. For the most part, if she ever left his chambers, it was with Noktal opening a portal right outside the door so as to keep her scent hidden. And she also suspected that in battle, he was not as kind as normal. But blood and death changed people. When her family was killed before her eyes by angels, Noktal was the only one there for her.
Noktal struck a sour note when Sydney mentioned his attack. Looking at Sydney with a terribly sad look in his eyes, he sighed.
"Sydney, you'll never forgive me for what I have done. I don't expect you to. But please, don't talk about it. Not in front of Shari. Please." there was a soft pleading note to his voice that was certainly sincere.
Releasing Sydney from her hug, she continued brushing her hair, straightening out the various tangles and knots formed. Tsking lightly, she glared at Noktal.
"Don't tell her to hide what you do from me. I'm your wife. I may not have pyschic abilities, but I am still a woman and that's enough." Finishing her hair, she began to comb it, giving it a shine that was missing for who knows how long.
"Now Syd-Syd, what didn't you expect here? What is the most surprising thing so far?"

Alaric Zarkov Alaric just shrugged as he watched he demon leave him be, he turned around and finished the last bit of work that needed to be done on his armor. The probe stopped in front of him and gave him some news about the celestials base, it seemed there was some activity there. Along with the information that Grathrym had asked for had been sent to the probe. Alaric just continued with his work until he was finished at this point in time. After he was done he began to put his armor once more starting with his legs and moving up. Alaric was back in his armor soon enough and moved around a little the noise he had heard before was gone and the joints moved smother then before. He was not found of doing maintenance but he always liked what it did to his equipment. " Now where do I find, best to explore and find someone to aid me" Alaric thought for a moment as he looked around the room and found the entrance. Once more he searched aimlessly through the halls of this fortress trying to find a demon to help him or where Grathrym might be seeing as they had something rather large planned.

((I've got work tonight. I'll be back hopefully before 10pm EST.))
Shari startled Sydney by suddenly hugging her like she did. Blinking in surprise, Syd couldn't find words for a few moments. At least not until Noktal was chided by Shari for telling her to keep her mouth shut about his bad deeds. "That's right. She's your freaking wife, dude. She deserves to know what you've been up to." Sydney stated flatly, trying to return to normal after the surprising hug she'd received from Shari.
However, her attention was soon returned to Shari as she was asked what surprised her about the Netherworld. "Well... the people mostly..." she replied softly, looking at the hilt of her katana.

Indrid barely noticed when Alastor came in. He wanted to welcome him but he had too many things on his mind. "What makes you think we would listen to you after slaughtering us? Can't an all-knowing powerful demon predict what ones emotions would be like?" he paused. Tried to not make himself become to angry. "You could have talked to us you know. You should have taken that opportunity. We aren't going to be so peaceful anymore."
