From the black cocoon a hand stuck outwards clawing away at the binding rope.
Ryuk came out his clothes now gone leaving him nude. His grey tips had elongated reaching higher towards his head and their was a mark on the top of his forehead with a symbol of three spider lilies tilting gracefully downwards.
Ryuk looked around and saw Ryo and his master. He smiled lovingly and said in his heart "To protect them we can't fail. I have to become the creator so they don't suffer."
Ryuk patted Ryo's head and knelt towards his master.
Riel smiled and tossed Ryuks hair.
Ryo asked "Master why did you call yourself the bloodiest devil?"
Ryuk answered "Well I am a devil and I wanted to express my will of blood shed to protect those I love, but also because of a dream I had."
Ryo said "Ah. I thought you just used that bad naming sense you said you had. I thought it was because you absorb blood and your a devil or because you like killing."
Ryuk laughed awkwardly.
Ryo then asked "What was the dream you had master."
Ryuk said "Well I was in a strange place and I was older and much, much more powerful. I had completely black eyes that seemed full of despair and hate and to a red colored tiger named Yi Jun I said something after he said something...
["Don't! If you kill me my family will raze this realm and you!" Yi Jun shouted fearfully.
"Don't worry for what you have done here the lives of your family will be taken that is my vengeance. Every single one of you runts I will kill, torture, humiliate and devour! I as the Beloved of the Origin White Tiger and by my name The Bloodiest Devil Ryuk shall kill all men, women and children of your cursed family." Ryuk said as he swiped Yi Jun's throat."
Ryuk then said silently "Just you wait. I'll kill every single one of you."]
... So yeah."
Ryo said "Wow master. You seemed so cool."
Riel asked "Have you found your focus?"
Ryuk nodded and said "I think. Before I was like a child and felt angry at everything, but I realize I was overthinking everything. What would happen, what really happened... Why should I care the river flows and the sun sets. What will be will be. I will just make the most beautiful moments while I can. I was scared because I feared losing my mother's love and so I tried to disown her and make myself angry at her to give me the right to throw her away, but it was just fear. Regardless of my mothers feelings I loved her and that's enough. Even if she abandons me and forgets about me that's fine as long as she is happy. I'll just remember those treasures memories of us. Of course I'll fight for her love, but I won't do something she doesn't want. I couldn't accept people could love me, but I realized that I don't have to right decide that. People like master and Ryo have the right to say that and make it true. I was stupid because I thought everything revolved around me like I was protagonist, but now I realize I'm just a child who wants a family. If you two can accept me as your family that's enough. I don't need you to save me or anything. I just need to have your love and support so when I make mistakes, when I doubt myself, when I'm crying alone I can keep going. Master, Ryo, my mother, my future wife and children you and they are the ones who keep me going when I've lost all my strength. You are the one who makes me take the last step on the long road. You are my family."
Ryo laughed and jumped and pushed Ryuk to the floor then draping him in saliva. Riel sat down and took two cups and a wine bottle from his ring and said "Family ties should be soaked in blood or wine. Otherwise flames of anger can burn then away."
Ryo said "Uncle I want a drink too."
Ryuk laughed and said while hugging Ryo "Your too young Ryo. When you turn 14 you can."
Ryo said "I am 14 master. In dog years."
Ryuk pulled Ryos ear and said "Your a Jackal not a dog."
Drinks and celebrations that stood the strain of time took place today.
With Ryuk and Riel becoming more than master and disciple now son and father and a drink shot down their throats the sun was reborn outside Lightning the room in a particular orange tint.
Ryuk smiled and he conjured flames and danced like the Devil dances.
Today was another day that would forever change Ryuks entire life shaping him to become an adult.
