*The figure recolied, another butterfly lifting off and flittering away hurriedly. Though her facial features were far from full, the hurt and shock on her face was still clear*
You... back there, it was always hard. Always a struggle. So many people.. so many lives... so much responsibility. Here... you and I... it could all stop. It... wouldnt be my problem...
*A single tear slid down her cheek, the red colour of it displaying Roan's more dominant Cainitic self than the human she had ceased to be so long ago. Genuinely torn between half remembered thughts and her past and the very clear memory of the battle so recently, the thought of being forced to return to a cold dead body and war with demons RIGHT NOW... it hurt. Confusion and hurt, both so overwhelming. Another butterfly fled as Roan's visage flickered and began to fade*
I dont even remember who I am! Why dont you HELP me, Lord Death... or are you that like your father?
*The form vanished, the final butterfly lifting from the floor and fluttering away deeper into Hades fortress. As it flew, the names of Roan;s children seemed to follow anywhere it went.. and with it came only pain*

AHHHHHH ******** !
.:Why am i always dragged into these things:.
.:Because you let her push you around:.
.:Shut up i wasnt asking you:.
.:Touchy.:
*Feeling slightly pissed off at the current situatuations going badly badly wrong for Sophus he still couldnt leave Roan to fade away. He focused on the final butterfly flying away and chased after it through the depths of the crumbling fortress*
Hey wait up, i want to help just tell me HOW i piece you together again.

*Butterflies.. are not known for their speed. A fact the sliver of soul cursed as it drifted from room to room, ever fleeing before the pain that seemed to follow it everywhere. This was Hell after all... maybe this pain was being inflicted on purpose - she;d committed enough crimes ot deserve it but it wasnt that which kept her running. The thought that she was doing this to herself and the ever constant reminder she was a monster were inspiration enough to keep the tiny wings flapping, other slivers of soul also flittering about the castle, sensing the anguish of one as it passed to the many. Soon, many rooms were filled with the flittering black forms, but only one of them carried Roan;s sense of self that allowed her to manifest even breifly and bond the other slivers together, and it was this one Sophus chased. Eventually, the butterfly flew out into the cold open space of an undergrond chamber, filled with the 'toys; and beasts and Hades had kept chained. Seeking to lose itself in shadow, the butterfly flew under an ornate chair and landed, heedless of the beiungs chained all around it*

*Sophus clumsily grasped for the butterly but failed until he had lost track of where it was and where he had ended up.
He scanned the room exhaling harder than normal making his breathe visible before him.*
.:Ah great now where are we :.
.: I like to call this room the zoo, full of all things great and small, strong and spikey:.
.:Great im supposed to find a black butterfly in here ?.:
.:No-one said you HAD to.:.
*He scanned the room quickly then sent a surge of Romaleos' physical power through his veins for protection. The beasts in here had a grudge, and by the tint in their eye they didnt look happy.*
Roan...come out. Roan i know your here. Come towards me.

Why? What good will it do?
*The voice sounded petulent, no form showing itself*
My thoughts hurt, I dont remember anything I SHOULD remember and I have nowhere to go to. This is Hell, where I belong. Leave me alone.

If that is what you truly desire then fine.
*Sophus turned sharply, cape twisting maniacally in mid air then fell as he walked off away from the room*

*The voice fell silent as Sophus left. Here, crowded among other creatures which light did not suit, it felt content to lose itself in its melancholy. Occasionally its wings would flicker open then closed as a fragment of a memory, a face or a scent was recalled to it. Its antennae waved anytime its childer were the focus of these memories. Drawn to the agitated and upset central shard, other butterflies began to make their way towards the room, landing on any spare space though there were nowhere near the 1000 needed to reconstruct the broken soul*

*A spherical black orb emerged from the evening sky transporting Sophus from the underworld to a mile away from the Deseer mansion.
He had hoped he would pick up one of the Deseers power levels within the vicinity, as he needed to explain Roans current situation to them.
After a moments slient scanning he headed off towards the Tavern for better luck*

*The dagoth lying at corbins feet began to melt away spewing shadow like a gyser. Inch by inch dagoth faded from site leaving behind the bag he held in his hand, falling open a hundred or so larve spilled onto the floor.*

Turning, Corbin gave Raoul a salute, waiting until he had left sight to turn and growl at the display Dagoth put on.
"DAMN IT!"
Drawing his new pistol with his right arm, he fired a single round into the sludge left behind. The sound was deafening, and the impact as it hit the ground just as loud, as it left a hole in the ground big enough for Corbin to curl up in and cringe at the thought of how he was gonna get Dag to search hell for Roan's dispatched soul now.
Holstering the firearm, he snarled at his ghouls as he stormed past them.
"Gather the bag and its contents and return it to th mansion. Leave it in Dagoth's room."
Corbin then walked out to the edge of the battle field, and waited there, putting some pressure on the links he had with the others, to alert them he was waiting there. Arms folded, he looked the scene over, as another group of ghouls approached, one carrying his father's sword.

~Hell~
*Beneath the chair the cognitive Roan butterfly had sheltered, there came a faints tirring. Assured the Siren was gone, the butterfly crept out, long furred antennae tasting the air. The various creatures in their cages had fallen totally silent, and it didnt take long to realise why - every surface was covered with the black butterfly's that comprised the shattered soul. Yet as this one butterfly came out to join them, the room erupted into noise, black forms taking to the air. But Roan had been thinking...*
Az... Dag. They were both shinigami. And now I take this form...
*With so many fragments of self nearby, memories seemed to flow much easier here. Roan knew from the two that plus souls - the good guys - went to Soul Society. A place she had personally classified as one of the new heavens since the Celestial period. Plus souls with spiritual power tended to become shinigami themselves... or so she seemed to remember. The negative souls, like her own, could form the hollows Az and Dag had fought in the war, and were typically banished here, to hell. Why then had she this form here? She had been killed YEARS ago and due to said circumstances, had a one way roller coaster ticket to hell. This soul of hers had changed in time and tune with her still moving body above, but had always resided here, locked in its full form. Why then had Azrael's attack caused her soul to shatter like this? Butterfly's... or moths more to the point... accompanied shinigami.. right? Surely a captive cainitic soul didnt hold enough power to make so MANY butterfly's all at once that were useable - besides which there was no guarentee Soul Society itself wouldnt be harmful to her. BUT... and it was a big but... maybe she could reach out to Azrael and Dagoth - they might be able to sort this mess out. Yet there was still one burning problem with all this... did she WANT to go back to the way things were?
Crawling onto the arm rest of the chair, her antennae continued to flicker as she thought and pondered... hoping no shinigami would come looking for her*

*Sophus appeared under the willow tree not too far from outside the deseer mansion. He sat by its trunk catching shelter from the cold night rain whilst his hand fumbled his inner coat pocket.
He withdrew a silver zippo lighter, flicked the lid back and snapped a spark of light from it.*
Bah empty, ******** things.
*He placed it on the base of the tree in a small nook created by overlapping roots and headed out into the evening drizzle*
.: Sophus.....Sophus...your time is wasting away....
find your father or die.:.
*Sophus swallowed hard as the eerie voice wormed into his senses. He raised his hood over his face then walked into the dark sky alone*
.:~~~~~~~~~~MEANWHILE~~~~~~~~:.
*In a very distant land a black palace ornamented with greek architecture held the source of this voice of high command.
A soldier...or yet a guardian stood protecting his master, he stood firm by his side draped in black and red. A scar dressed his right bloodred eye, a wound from battle...his only wound.
He dipped his head towards his master who was seated in his stone throne. His long black shadow hair draped down like curtains covering his facial features. His ears awaited the whistling words that haunted Sophus.*
....Kill him.
*Without a moments hesitation the guardian marched off in a burst of determination, he never spoke. just obeyed...ALWAYS obeyed*

Rock this party
Dance everybody
Make it hot in this party
Don't stop, move your body
Rock this party
Dance everybody
Make it hot in this party
Everybody dance now
*Dagoth sliding through the gates of hell in one fluid motion, singing at the top of his voice. As each guard leaped at him his voice got a touch louder, smirking as his claws ripped through each one without so much as a blink. Although he couldnt for the life of him figure out why he was here.*
EVERBODY DANCE NOW!

*As Dagoth entered, a small black butterfly flickered over his head. For the first time, one of teh butterfvlies physically interacted with someone, the small black insect landing on the young shinigami's shoulder as it felt kinship with him.
As it did, some small flicker of thought passed along the link Roan shared with Dagoth, but nothing more. The butterfly calmly opened and shut its wings, glued to its new perch*
