When they had gathered Keishiro sat down and crossed his legs. “I am not going to jump into this.” he said softly. While he wanted to fight Hokyo and the urge was almost unbearable, he had grown over these few years. He looked over to Yukio, he was proud of the boy’s strength, if anything the boy was like his mother but he wished he would have known who his father was., the man had to be crazy to bed with Blake. He folded his hands and looked to Soma who looked worse for wear. Slowly he looked back down and sighed. “War, it is doubtful that it will not happen. But I will not fly the flag. If anything I’ve learned from my past experiences that making the first move is never the smart move. But I would like my suspicions confirmed.”
He would play a game with Hokyo. He had waited this long he could wait a little longer. “So, Soma I want you to write up a letter for Hokyo and Yukio I want you to deliver it. Should he make the official command for war, then we will go. If not, I think now would be a good time to take stock of how much they have gained and how much they have lost. But while Yukio is gone this time, you and I, Soma, have some business to attend to. We need to fortify defenses and rearrange the guards. I want everything on high alert and everyone to rest up.”
The man slowly leaned back, a pain twigging in his neck. He closed his eyes and let out a soft sigh. “for this mission, soma is in charge. Yukio don’t do anything stupid because if you jeopardize what I am trying to do, I will kill you.” He slowly stood and brushed his hands off on his pants before moving towards the door. “that is all.”

Raylee tapped her cheek in thought before slowly shook her head. “there is not much I can do for you. But you could practice stopping fire? I’m not sure how else to help you. I’m a shadow and fire wielder. There isn’t much else I can do to be perfectly honest. The only time user I know of…. Well you don’t want to meet him.” It was already bad enough that she was thinking about telling him of that little white haired boy from the capital. She knew of him and he was the only time user that she knew of, but he was a very bad person.

Renee turned a looked up at Wulf with a small smile. "No not really...I'm just trying to learn my way around the castle.." she paused for a minute to study him and her smile widened. "How did it go with you and your guards? It seems that I am to check those around the castle..Make sure they don't mean any harm.." She let out a small laugh. Her eyes made her look seirous despite the warm and inviting grin she wore. She knew that the man that stood before her was one to be trusted, and she didn't even have to search his mind to come to that conclusion.

Soma stood in silence with Yukio. Kei was being more reasonable then he had given the man credit for. Kei was after Hokyo’s head, but he wondered what the outcome of this message would lead to. He glanced at Yukio in an odd manner. “Yes My Lord.” He said answering Kei’s response, more paperwork he wasn’t thrilled. He turned his attention to Kei and at that moment a fog like energy engulfed their room. Soma rushed over to Kei, standing in the way of any attack that might occur.
Though even he felt the aura and couldn’t help but feel his blood chill, those that had made this aura was something powerful. His foot tapped the ground and a red film spread over the room, pushing the aura out of the room, leaving the room to glow with Soma’s own power. “My Lord Kei, I believe that this might be the reason for Hokyo’s appearance, could he possible be preparing the Red Army for a battle with a unseen enemy?” He questioned Kei, of course he wasn’t fond of the idea of helping anyone besides his own Kingdom.
The enemy that had thrown off this energy had been able to make it travel across the country to reach their castle. Likely a warning signal for anyone that might know of its meaning, as the power passed over the castle, Soma let down his red shield of the room, and a thin line of blood slipped back into his pant leg, which would have been unnoticeable if you were unaware of his power.

Kei scrunched his nose and gave a bit of a nod. He said nothing regarding what just happened because he knew, not a whole lot but enough to understand the situation. “In regards to that, I don’t want someone else to get a chance at Hokyo’s head. So if this other man is serious then I have no other choice then to side with Hokyo long enough for us to kill this man. I want you to include that in your letter to him. I wish for his death but I am not as stupid and brash as I use to be.” He was worried about this new player but he wasn’t going to let it way to much on his mind. As much as he hated it, if Hokyo and he stood side by side, he couldn't see a thing that could stand in their way. Lightening and thunder were like brothers. Soma thrown into the mix with Yukio and there was a dangerous weapon.
He tapped his foot with thought before rubbing his neck in thought as he often did. “and Soma, one more thing. I want you to become a fighter again. Even if it is only for this battle. We need you’re strength if we are to survive. Our forces are not what they use to be… I’m sure you’ve noticed.”

Fear decided not to wait. "Catch up if you want, I'm hungry." He said turning away from Singo and walking toward the ocean until he vanished.
Fear reappeared in an ally way next to the center of town. He smiled, revealing his teeth. "So much food...." his eyes broke the darkness. He decided to start with an appitizers, a young boy no older than 10. The boy was easily submitted down with the child like fear of darkness and swollowed whole. "Ah so sweet and tasty"
Fear continued on in the shadows looking around the town looking for more powerful souls. His hunger would not cease even if he could make it stop.

Soma nodded to Kei as he sat and began to write a letter. He ignored the statement of what was said about his own personal combat battle. He finished the letter and rolled it and handed it towards Yukio, his eyes then looked towards Kei. “If that is what you wish my Lord, I do not find it amusing that someone is going to attempt to declare on war on our peaceful manner, I may not be as battle driven as yourself or Yukio, but I will defend anything that my Lord orders.” He said as his eyes retook a fierce state, one which Yukio likely had not seen.
To many people Soma had taken the place of Dark when he became one of the Five, but unlike his father he was likely one man that was to be feared. His power was truly unique and often left little error for the enemy to make. His nickname was The Blood King, a rather odd name, but it suited him just fine. “Lord Kei, I suggested we take action against the new threat and demanded that Hokyo supply us with any known information about the enemy in the letter.” He said as he pushed the letter at Yukio with a rather forceful manner. “It is hard to believe people come back from the dead Yukio, so before I took your word and informed Kei I had to do a spell to find the source of the magic that was used to transfer the letter to us. So do not think I distrusted your information, but I had to make sure.” He spoke calmly.

Soon after the child he at and old women, a bar keeper, and half the town. "This world is.... satisfying!" he said letting his hunger go wild. He started to not care about his hunger, letting the blood drip off of his body, revealing his mouth as he ran the streets hunting the humans. Oh he had so much fun while doing so!

Alastor's heart sank when she told him the only person who could help him.....was evil. The glow in his eyes dimmed and he slumped in place a bit. He rubbed at the back of his neck then shrugged. A veritable wall had just been put up in front of him...
"Well....is there at least somewhere in the castle where I can get something to eat?"
Meanwhile, Glysta stopped floating not too far away from the red haired man. She watched him walking and heard something about declaring war. She floated sideways through the air a bit as she watched him walking. A war....the perfect way for Alastor to practice his talents. Now all she had to do was figure out a way to get this red haired man to speak with Alastor....

Keishiro gave a little nod and moved towards the door. “Demand is a hard word when you’re talking about Hokyo. Request first and if the information is not supplied them demand.” He moved to the door and pulled it open. There was still an odd feeling about the world and he didn’t like t he taste it left in his mouth. But he tapped his pocket and glanced over his shoulder. “I will let it be known that we are going to war. Even if it isn’t with the Red Kingdom yet. After which I want everyone prepared for a fight.” He was more or less talking to himself but the guard outside was looking at him so he looked back as he spoke. The guard ran off to fallow the order and he turned to look over his shoulder once more.
“what ever happens, keep you’re cool. Hokyo is a mind terrorist.” and he left the room completely. The last statement had been aimed at Yukio and it held a threatening sound.
Yukio took the letter and looked at Soma. He didn’t change much, the cool demeanor let Soma know he was still angry with the male. His hand throbbed a bit with pain but it was a reminder to not hit the wall anymore. “Lord Kei came back from the dead. He was beheaded. Is it really so hard to believe that a man known as a God could come back?” He left Soma with that statement as his body burst into shards of ice and he was gone.
He reappeared inside the castle this time, causing a few people to jump back in fear. He rolled his eyes and looked towards a rather large door that led into the throne room. Two guards stopped him “you are not welcome here” one stated and he looked up at the rather large man. The smaller boy only sighed and lifted his hand as if to stop time again. “ I am not in a good mood. Do not make me kill you.’ the guard looked a bit taken back but he raised his sword to attack the boy. Yukio just rolled his eyes again and muttered “Stop” Just like before the time stopped, only it was focused on this one man. He was frozen in time but the other looked at him a bit frightened. He waved his hand at the door.
“Go tell the old man that he’s got mail. Unless you want to join your friend here” The guard immediately turned and opened the door. He stood at attention and looked to Hokyo. “L-lord there is a b-boy here with a letter…. He demands to have you’re audience and well…” Yukio rolled his eyes for the third time and pushed past the man. He allowed the second guard to re-animate. The man turned and blinked as he was confused as to what happened. He placed his free hand on his hip and the one that held the letter to his forehead. “ohi Gramps. Didn’t think I would be seeing you so soon but I have no choice this time… official business.”
_____________________
Raylee offered a soft smile and gave a soft smile. " Come i'll show you to the dinning room. We can get your stomach full and talk with Hokyo. He is sure to know what to do." If she let him talk with Hokyo then the chances of finding out what to do with him would increase. She wasn't one suited for time fighting. She didn't know the first thing about it. After all her powers were more of "in the moment" kind of things, however food she could do.
She turned and began to walk back the way she came. She glanced back once to make sure he was fallowing before turning down another hall. "you'll have to be careful, many people get lost in these halls."

He turned towards Glysta had flown and gave a worried look. Hopefully she would be able to find him by his aura because he had no idea how to find her. He heaved a heavy sigh and just followed after Raylee. He kept a good pace behind her as he looked all around the halls. The architecture was beautiful and he couldn't help but stare at some of the tapestries.
"Who will know what to do? And how old is this castle? The style in which it is built is akin to where I am from..."He said as he continued to take in his surroundings.
Glysta mused over her thoughts a bit then almost seemed to shrug. This.....red haired man seemed to have his plate full at the moment. Perhaps it was time to see what Alastor was getting himself into with that Raylee woman. She giggled as she began tracking him. He was always so awkward with the opposite sex...

Hokyo was filling out a random form about a thief going through the city and he glanced up when he felt a dark aura spread through the castle, but he pressed a surge of power through the castle so the castle could only feel a faint power surge compared to what Hokyo was holding back. He sighed when he felt that cold aura appear outside of the throne room. He noticed one of the guards come scooting in a rather scared manner.
Next the boy came inside of the room, and at the comment of him being old, a vain appeared on his neck. “Little brat.” He remarked in an annoyed manner, and snapping his fingers the letter appeared in his hand. Glancing at it he began to read it slowly, his mouth pushing his lips together in thought and he glanced back up at the boy. “Do you wish to kill me? You know who I am, I will not move or attack you can strike if you feel the desire to such a degree.” He said in a thrilled manner.
“The man that is declaring war is Singo, the first warrior to ever to unlock the power of the gods and used them to win battles against a evil Kingdom, likely his ability is due to the fact that myself, Daton and Dark were apart of this mans campaign, nearly four thousand years when we were first cursed to this land. Though Singo died from his own ability, he was kept alive by the means of the god of Shin, in order to use against me and anyone I might have contact with.” He said in memories, and then turned towards his guards and waved them to leave, which they did under protest.
“The true enemy is the god Shin, he will use the island of Amad as a place to manifest himself and along with him will likely come every soul that he can bring into the world as flesh and demon, they will have a army several times as large as ours, kill the god and cut him short is my answer to his threat.” He spoke again when the room was empty and looked at the boy before him.
“Now tell me my dear little brat, I know who your father is, but by chance who your mother is and do not attempt to tell me someone not important, I can see it in your eyes, I can feel it, that cold manner, and does Kei know you are his?” He asked in a rather amused manner, a smile creeping across his face.

The town was destroyed. Set ablaze from so many people's fear of fire. Alot of odd animals ran around over some of the courpses that he did not completly devour. The town was literally painted red.
Fear sat on the roof chomping on another soul that he had just clamed. He watched the island on the horizon. "Singo better hurry before the entire country side is dead". Fear laughed as he swollowed the last soul. He stood up and turned around at the town "Hell of a debut I have to say!"

Raylee smiled and placed her hands behind her head as she walked “ This castle is a year an a half old. In fact some things are still being built as we speak. It is rather new. And by he, I mean the person who I relinquished my title to. See I was the boss around here. I did everything, the paperwork, the complaints, it was all me. But when he came home, I gave it back because it was originally his and my sister’s. Hokyo is his name and he can often be found in the throne room now.” She took another turn and led them into the large dining room. It was deserted due to the events going on inside the castle. But she walked right around the table and into the kitchen.
Here she rolled up her sleeves and began to pull things out of the cupboards. She moved over to the washing basin and cleaned her hands then began to work. “anything in particular you like?”
_______________________
“As much as I would love to lop off your head and rip apart your insides, I am under orders not to. Lord Kei said he would kill me should I break his plans. However you are stuck with me for those are his orders as well.” he moved across the room, pulled out a chair and flipped it around in his normal manor. He then sat down and looked up at the male. He enjoyed living and as much as he wanted to kill the man before him for his father, well his father wanted that pleasure to himself. What a greedy old geazer these people were. He took in the information, jotting down the sub notes on a special piece of paper he had kept tucked away. When he was done he sealed it and it vanished, relaying the information back to Soma.
He then folded his arms and rested his head on the back of the chair with a bored expression. “again with the father thing. I never said Lord Kei was he and on top of that my father doesn’t even know who I am, let alone that I exist.” Both were true statements but he wasn’t going to get into it. “and as for my mother, it is non of your business old man. You’ve done nothing but lie to me sense we met so I see no need to inform you of my situation, dear Sinnel” He placed special emphasis on the name because it was the one that Hokyo had given him. This was all to prove a point.

Hokyo listened to the child before him and a small smile played on the corner of his lips. He turned his head and popped his neck. “Kei is your father because you froze the people in the room, and then you actually knew who Sinnel was, both would mean you have the ability to control time and I feel the need to say you act like him.” He said with a smooth tone, he hated the fact that the child was such a pain that only Kei could be his father.
Turning a bit he rested his head on his fist and starred at the boy, his dark green eyes scanning him for some type of knowledge of why he felt so familiar. “You keep calling me old I will bend you over my leg and punish you according to logical parenthood which my old self would know. I lie in order to live; do you not conceal the truth from your own father?” He questioned as he titled his head as he thought about the possible ideas of the boys mother, it could be a number of Kei’s women lovers, but the boy was holding back a type of power.

"Sure thing Gramps, but you'd have to catch me first. I'd stop your time so fast you'd have to start your heart up again with a bolt of your lightening." he didn't move from his spot but instead turned his head down. Why did he know all this? He didn't even know if Soma knew that Keishiro was his father, they never talked about it and well Kei didn't know so why should they? When he went back in time, Blake had only said that she was pregnant, not that it was Kei's child... but Soma was a brilliant guy...
He put it aside and looked back up at Hokyo with a little smile of his own. "Nah, gramps. My father wouldn't know he had a kid if i hit him in the face with a fish and told him. He wouldn't believe me anyway." he pointed out how his hair was whiter than well white. He did have Keishiro's red eyes but that was normal in this day and age. "what's it to you anyway? Why do you find it so important you know my parents? They're not yours."
