<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00ff00">Milo would raise an eyebrow at her friendly manner, but a playful smirk would dance on his lips. "<b>Friendly, Beautiful, AND well-mannered? Okay, just raised two spaces on '<i>People I don't want to eat' </i>list." </b>He said, intending it to be a compliment. Bakeneko were well-known maneaters, who often devoured those that summoned them. When Maddox's creatures, Ankai and Sunkai, accosted Azurnine, she would watch him bristle up and growl at the two, and upon hearing Maddox speak up, would shift into it's <a class="link link--external" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fi.pinimg.com%2Foriginals%2F5b%2F94%2Fef%2F5b94ef930266e47a3a73181158d6fc2f.jpg&amp;hash=2fa5e2499f2eb1596b5b943b194aaf6c" href="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/5b/94/ef/5b94ef930266e47a3a73181158d6fc2f.jpg" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank">Bestial Humanoid</a> form, and attack the two. It's claws would sink and burn into Ankai's shoulder as it's teeth would grab onto Sunkai's neck, before tossing them away, hissing and growling at the two with burning eyes. Tales of this creatures strength were not exaggerated.<br/>
<br/>
When questioned what it was doing here, Milo would shift back, before licking his nails, a grin of his face. "<b>What, Don't recognize one of your sisters own creation's, Maddox?" </b>Milo asked, before walking over towards the God. Lifting up his shirt, underneath his armpit, was the <a class="link link--external" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fvignette.wikia.nocookie.net%2Ffairytailfanon%2Fimages%2F8%2F87%2FDaemon_Spade_Symbol.jpeg%2Frevision%2Flatest%3Fcb%3D20120205040809&amp;hash=717ed7ee139a4480e0cc583df0232d7b" href="https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/fairytailfanon/images/8/87/Daemon_Spade_Symbol.jpeg/revision/latest?cb=20120205040809" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank">Symbol of Arashi</a>. "<b>I am a Bakeneko, crafted in the fiery plains of Lady Arashi's Domain. I was sent here by my Ultimate Master to watch over this young girl, at the behest of her mother, until the two meet on her 22nd birthday." </b>Milo said, cracking his knuckles. Maddox knew what this meant- Arashi was watching closely now, this Bakeneko was her eyes and ears down here. One wrong step and he would report it directly to his sister, which would be bad on MULTIPLE levels.<br/>
<br/>
Milo would then glare at Maddox. "<b>You have been allowed a great deal of freedom over the centuries, Lord of Shadows Maddox, and while Arashi doesn't wish to disrupt a '<i>progressive' </i>deity at work, there have been rumors and reports that warrant oversight. I am <i>sure </i>you will tell me if this bothers you. " </b>He said, sarcastically. Bakeneko were notorious for treating their masters like walking gods, but those behind them as low as trash. It was just how they were made.

<br/>
Arashi was watching close now- Things were becoming dangerous now.</span><br/><br/>~~~~~~~~<br/><br/>Zion felt the kiss onto his body, and his soul sung, but his felt the burning flame consume him as if he were being burning alive again, the memory coming fresh into his mind, as he knelt on the ground. His body was shaking as he sat there, trying to rebalance himself, before looking up and seeing someone approach- The Exile. "<b>Huh?! Who are- How did you-!?" </b>He tried speaking, before feeling the man's hand on his chest.<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff4dff">The Exile would take his hand away from Zion's chest, as he looked towards the male. "<b>So my sister is going that route......typical, always refusing to do the dirty work herself, leaving it for others to muck up. I care for her as I do for everyone of my siblings, but she lacks conviction." </b>He said, before removing his hand. "<b>Listen, Zion- Neema's influence grants you great power, as does Arashi's rage, but both are not going to heal your fractured soul.....if anything, it will make it worse." </b>He said, reaching into shirt. He would then set down a glass, before tapping his finger on it, as a <a class="link link--external" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.shopify.com%2Fs%2Ffiles%2F1%2F0847%2F6070%2Fproducts%2Fblue_tea_580x%402x.jpg%3Fv%3D1454469803&amp;hash=59b81ebb604b5626b9ae814b8d60f7d1" href="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0847/6070/products/blue_tea_580x@2x.jpg?v=1454469803" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank">strange tincture</a> would pour into it.

</b><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff4dff"><b>"But do you '</b><i><b>know' </b></i><b>for a fact that they betrayed you?" </b>The Exile pressed. When he saw the confusion on his face, The Exile would sigh. "<b>People do things for different reasons, Zion- Some for want of power, monetary gain, or personal gain. Others for sense of duty, understanding of politics, or because there is no other choice- Take care that you actually have the reason, before you strike.

Deciding to take a leap of faith, he consumed it, before feeling his mind behind to brighten, as if something was clearing away in the darkness in it....then?

<br/>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#99ccff">"<b>You'll bring many Kingdoms to ruin, and on your quest, you shall take many thousands of lives...."</b>A voice said. It would display....Zion's Father, <a class="link link--external" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fdata.whicdn.com%2Fimages%2F12634852%2Foriginal.jpg&amp;hash=e61ecc494ee68b857fb899dc1ad09d86" href="https://data.whicdn.com/images/12634852/original.jpg" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank">Kailen</a>! He would hold up his hand as fire consumed an army of soldiers, marching onto his territory. However, the fire moved with a fluidity and control that was unnatural, even Zion at his prime couldn't handle that type of power that well!<br/>
<br/>
"<b>However, a greater number of lives will be saved.....you'll save them, just as you saved me." </b>The voice said, belonging to an <a class="link link--external" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fvignette.wikia.nocookie.net%2Fkonosuba%2Fimages%2F2%2F2e%2FHijiri_small.jpg%2Frevision%2Flatest%3Fcb%3D20160624104648&amp;hash=2512f46e8e80e7556ceb519b81531d9c" href="https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/konosuba/images/2/2e/Hijiri_small.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160624104648" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank">unknown female</a>. She would stand next to Kailen and raise a wand in the air, as he raised his hand, as a devastated field turned into lush and fertile farmland. The two would watch as the days progress as this provided food for the nations and populace devastated by war- These people were thriving. <br/>
<br/>
"<b>Even if the whole world turns its back on you, the Gods themselves bring your Empire to ruin, I will always be at your side." </b>The voice, belonging to the woman, said as she raised a hand to caress his face, a bundle in her arms. Zion eye's would widen as he saw......himself as an infant! This was....his mother, Syndel! "<b>Because after all, I am yours.....I am your wife. Now, until the end of time." </b><br/>
<br/>
It would then display Syndel waiting at the edges of a crib, watching her infantile son, before a shadowy figure would onto her. Before she could react, her heart was pierced a poisoned dagger. She'd let out a scream as she collapsed on the ground. It would shit to her body being preserved, Kailen standing over it, desperation written on his face, as a shadowy figure would approach- Maddox, in fair form. He would offer his hand towards the male, which Kailen would approach tentatively, but would look back at his wife, before taking it. <br/>
<br/>
That was when the screaming began.</span></i><br/><br/><i>~~~~~~~</i><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff4d4d">As the Queen stormed away, a <a class="link link--external" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fi.pinimg.com%2F736x%2F9e%2Fae%2F43%2F9eae4300e19309f8e62f088b14993477--satanic-art-book-illustrations.jpg&amp;hash=a2ab17bdd06173b2482fe2842350e801" href="https://i.pinimg.com/736x/9e/ae/43/9eae4300e19309f8e62f088b14993477--satanic-art-book-illustrations.jpg" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank">shadowy figure</a> stepped out, glaring at her from behind. "<b>You think are beyond Justice, beyond due retribution?.....I shall show you hellish hate." </b>She said, though the Queen did not hear it. She would then vanish.<br/>
<br/>
The Queen's room was widely ornate, well decorated. However, the room would feel....odd. The Goddess would twirl her finger, as her jewelry box would fall down. Inside were various gifts, but one stuck out- an <a class="link link--external" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.zales.com%2Fproductimages%2Fprocessed%2FV-20024274_0_800.jpg&amp;hash=b929c370ac16a609b973efc6acfa3b49" href="https://www.zales.com/productimages/processed/V-20024274_0_800.jpg" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank">ornate necklace</a>, Imperial craftsmanship. It was given to Mirielle ages ago by....<br/>
<br/>
Zion.</span><br/><br/><i>"<b>This necklace is fashioned out of a Rose. My master Lunelra always told me this- 'Flowers that bloom in the face of adversity are the most beautiful of all.' It's how I see you- How could something so lovely exist in a world so dark?"<br/>
<br/>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff4d4d">The rest of the room began acting odd, the flames flickering. It showed Mirielle the war that she and her companions fought, that father fought, but when Zion showed up, it started to feel like a chance existed. Zion had an Indomitable Will, a fierce, almost savage, spirit that didn't bend or break. A lot of people thought that it would make him stubborn, arrogant, or even dangerous. But no- this was what made Zion strong. They trusted each-other with their lives more times than any could count and each, even Zion, did their best to keep that trust.</span></b></i><br/><br/><b>"<i>A New day is dawning, Mirielle- This is our Rebellion. This world requires nothing less than a revolution. But to do so, it would need a leader.....It's needs you. You are your father's daughter, you're the only one who can take that mantle."<br/>
</i></b><br/><i><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff4d4d">The wind began picking up in the room, as the curtains would tear and she would hear the familiar echoes of war. She would see Zion's face as the two shared loving moments, before it would cut to his curse and him burning at the stake. Then it would show Anthony, a man who was nothing like Zion, but his image incarnate, flirting with Azurnine and treating her like a princess. It was meant to cause pain, agony, torture. It was meant to show what she had lost. To make her question whether or not she killed someone who was devoted to her for the wrong reasons.<br/>
<br/>
The Shadowy figure would snap her fingers as her torment would stop, glaring down at the figure who could not see her. "<b>This is only a taste of what is to come. But I won't kill you.....not yet. Your punishment must be much more severe." </b>She said, knowing the woman couldn't hear here, before walking into the shadows and vanishing....<br/>
