~Sanctus Espiritus... Maddy glared up at him. "What do you know about my Father?" She asked. This guy seemed like he'd be more cooperative than the other two.He lowered elevation so he was eye level with all of them, his wings flapping soundlessly and scattering a few silver feathers. "Well, before I say anything, I should introduce myself. I am Kain." He gave them a slight bow. "And to answer your question, I know many things about your Father. He was the strongest Ruler we ever had and I was his right hand man."... Redeem us from our solemn hour~

"Kain..."
Memo said quietly to himself. He honored Kain's bow by bowing back.
"Kain, I am Memo. May I ask what you want with Maddy."
He kept his manners and calmness intact, but still kept his body on high alert.

I likewise return Kain's bow, saying nothing. Feebas and Elekid remain on standby, and I carefully pluck a feather out of the air.

Ginji returns Kain's bow as he looks around at the others. Maddy's dad's right hand man. Wouldn't that make this guy strong? Then truly the demons weren't coming in increasing order, but rather a random order. Unless, someone stronger than Maddy's dad had come along.

~Sanctus Espiritus... Kain smiled slightly at Memo. "We want your friend here, because we want her Father to come after her." He returned his gaze to Maddy."Why do you want him so bad? And... Why are you so cooperative?" Maddy asked, being strangely calm.Kain sighed. "We want him... Because it is time for a new Ruler to be chosen. The power that kept the gates closed is diminishing, and unless a more powerful Ruler is chosen, the gates will eventually open and you'll have to deal with more than just us 15 remaining." He then answered Maddy's second question, "... And let's just say, I didn't come here expecting to win."... Redeem us from our solemn hour~

Memo returned the smile. But worry lingered in the back of his head. If Maddy was truly the chosen ruler, then without her the gates would open.
"Kain, if I may ask, is there no other way to keep the gates closed?"
The boy kept his calm tone, which now sounded very kind. Their was no way he would let Maddy go.

"Memo, I think what Kain is saying is that Maddy's father is up for re-election. Or at least they want him in the race." Addressing the demon directly, I ask, "Should we assume you've already tried the direct approach? Have you looked for her father without success?"

Tommy bows, and then stands by. He was dazed for a long time. "interesting tidbit."

~Sanctus Espiritus... "So you want me... so you can kill my Father... and decide on someone to replace him?" Maddy asked, already knowing the answer.Kain nodded. "Yes." He looked at Memo. "Power is what rules in our world. The gates only remain closed as long as the most powerful of us is in control. We don't know who the most powerful is, but once we eliminate him we shall decide on that through our... own means." He then turned to Thard. "He's a bit too good at hiding. He's always been rather good at getting around unnoticed. In fact, we didn't notice he was gone until about a year after he had left. I'm sure you can understand that tracking him without the proper bait is rather... difficult."... Redeem us from our solemn hour~

"I....see."
Memo lowered his gaze and looked at the ground. He took a deep breath and looked at Kain again.
"Exactly how will you tell who is the strongest once Maddy's father is gone? What will you do with Maddy,if you manage to get her, after her father shows up. Assuming he will. And what made you think that she will go with you?"
The boy exhaled and started to breathe again, deep in thought.
"I'm sorry for so many question, but you surely must understand my concerns?"

"Yes, I'm sure if a worm could talk, it would protest being tied to a fish hook. You can't expect us to let Maddy be used as bait without so much as an argument."
My grip on the Dreamcatcher tightens. Feebas dozes off in boredom, until Elekid gives a tiny jolt to his fin.

Adam falls/lands next to Memo, brandishing a sword and looking ready for action. "Whosawhatsit?-"

~Sanctus Espiritus... Kain sighed. "How else will we decide the new Ruler other than a fight to the death? The last remaining will become the Ruler, for they must truely be the strongest of us all." The winds began to pick up, picking up some of his silver feathers and whipping them around. "Anyways, enough talk. I know I shall not win this fight, but that will not stop me from testing the strength of the daughter of the Overlord and her trusted allies. Come."Maddy winced as a silver feather embedded itself in her shoulder. She hauled it out, and set it alight with black fire, turning it to ash and letting it get whisked away with the wind. She suddenly lunged at Kain, as usual, her claws alight with black and purple flames.... Redeem us from our solemn hour~

"Truly Hell, that where only through killing is strength measured." With a sigh of resignation, I leap into battle with Dreamcatcher at the ready. I dared not risk a meteor in such close quarters, but the weapon is still a fearsome bludgeon.

Adam looked to Thard, following his lead. "Um, should I be concerned here? Which one are we fighting?" He asked, to Thard or Memo.
