Welcome to Gaia! ::

Gabriel held his index finger up, a sign for Jin to wait as he worked. The strips of data and code ran faster then before across the underside of his wings. Gabriel was trying to use the best outcome he could, using some of the map data from before his deactivation to judge the distances and such. "There is high probability the portal will just collapse upon itself, all depending on the energy used to close it and its own black hole-type nature. The next likely possibility is that it will only effect the areas the dark energies have spread. In a highly unlikely scenario, the chaotic energies would continue to build up until it devastated the entire land mass, or even the planet itself."

-Enishi chuckled under the dome and watched over the Dark Clan- "It maybe come to that one day...I had plans to melt every clan together or burn them all with a Dragon I stored between this realm and the other. I believe you remember the one I'm talking about."

-He said to Ki while turning the knob to eject himself from the suit.-

"A back up plan maybe?" -he asked as his body took on the human form- "I would never do that now, but the dragon still waits." -he unsheathed his tachi from the sheath on his hip- "Don't you know someone thats near here?"

-He shrugged and moved on with sword in hand- "And I remember the church where I was brought here from. It should be long gone now though."

-He nodded, and took off in ther direction the Chruch used to be. He wouldn't tell Ki what was about to happen...he didn't need to know. He just had to get there to be in peace...-

There was a dark cloud that had blanketed the colder side of Hell, floating below and above the webs that made the ceiling of the continent, flashing bolts of red lightning and causing the orbs to burst out in a flash of orange light that diminished once the lightning receded. And from those clouds poured out droplets of black liquid that made the ground below it sizzle and a short layer of steam rising above it by about a foot or so. It not only hit the ground, but also the souls of the damned. They screamed in agony, their chains rattled as they squirmed and writhed in their eternal pain under the acid-like rain, trying to reach out towards the one who was sheltered under a plain-looking umbrella in an attempt to obtain whatever mercy he was willing to give. "My my, now which one of you deserves to share my shelter with me today?" the man said with a smile, revealing a striking white glow from his smile set against what appeared to be a dark silhouette of a person with white hair flowing from its head.

Lumehiel sighed, twirling the umbrella in a circle above his head and teased the accused, "...But...you are here because you've been naughty while you lived, right? And thus it is your punishment until you are chosen to be released."

Ironically, he really didn't enjoy torturing people he was unfamiliar with, unlike the other demons around him who enjoyed any chance to have fun with the souls. But supposedly, the act of increasing misery to the damned was good role-modeling, showing how demons should behave to souls that are sent to Hell. It was their duty. They were created for the very purpose of torturing the souls of those who had been evil in the other realm. He did honestly try hard to not only act as a good role-model, but also trying to change himself internally so that his job wouldn't feel as tedious.

Then, a gust of wind came, causing the rain to go in different directions, mostly dampening Lumehiel's pants, but it didn't cause it to burn. A few feet away from him, a circle appeared where the ground was cleared of the black acid and a dome shape appeared where the rain did not enter. Within this dome, a small white flame appeared and steadily grew into the figure of a person. Lumehiel watched, only with mild interest since this was how some souls entered Hell.

However, as the fire shaped more and more into a person, it was becoming more apparent that the figure belonged to Dusk, weakened and lying on the ground with a large scar on his chest and back. Lumehiel smiled wickedly. Seeing his brother suffer was far more desired than anything else that Hell could provide, "Welcome back...brother."

-The ground where the church had been was a bare sandy waste now. Seeing what the grand Church now was, was something that brought a stabbing pain to his chest. Along the way, his body had started to break down and he finally knew this was his last few moments.

"If I had done things differntly...would it still end like this?" -he asked the dark sky above.- "Maybe I need this...I'm tired. Liyian...I'm so happy to see you again my love."

-He laid down and decided on something good with his final few moments of life. As his body broke down finally into water, small white lilys slowly sprang up through the hard dirt. Ranging around two hundred small flowers was all he could manage before he was finally gone.-

Lumehiel had grabbed his brother by the arm, using one of his tails, and dragged him across the ground while carrying Dusk's wings with another tail, twirling his umbrella with that same evil grin spread across his face. He was actually planning on going over to the other side to retrieve Dusk, but seeing that Dusk had appeared before him was something that he would have never expected. It meant that someone on the other side had killed him...but who? He wondered if he should cross over to thank the person who was responsible, that's if he could find that person.

It wasn't long before he was on the bridge that was set over the moat surrounding his family's castle, and as soon as the guards saw what he was doing, they rushed out to help him carry his load. Lumehiel stopped them, telling them that they should remain at their posts. After all, he wanted to deal with Dusk personally.

Not too far from Jin was a camp with shredded tents, broken equipment, and body parts of demons. Within this mess was the soul of a man lying on top of the corpses, staring up at the ceiling of Hell. He didn't even notice that there was any demon or any other soul around the area of the portal.
