Chapter 84 - Realm of Corpses

Sister Spinner lit a cigarette and Prometheus sulked. "You knew we would lose didn't you?" He asked. "No. I can't see the end result only the choices and which is the right one. Why would I drag you and them to this pyramid to definitely fail? This was the attempt to stop it!" She said taking a drag. She was thoroughly pissed and planned to act.

Red Demon limped over beaten and bruised walking behind him was Smiling who had a far off look on his face. Sister faced them, "Well we should leave this realm you can take refuge in my home" she stated bluntly and a matter of fact.

They came to the entrance and Red Demon stopped and leaned against a wall. Smiling Demon slumped to the floor. "We can't go to your Plane Spinner. My task was to find him and his companion. Take them to the next Realm; Master's orders" he confessed.

Sister flicked her cigarette away and her eyes started glowing gold. "No. They come with me to the Endless Looms. And then he decides where he goes. Do not test me right now brother. I lost twice tonight" she wiped the corner of her eye away. He realized something as his eyes widened. 'The Keep…but how did she?' He thought. "Yes. One part of my ability is able to manipulate Threads of Necessity" she paused. "If the person lets me in to do so with full permission and become completely open. Allowing me to not only see the future but their past, their dreams, feelings, and choices. Their journey through this life played out like a reel on a projector. A visual timeline seeing every minute of a life" she slumped on a bench in the temple which was a slab of cut rock.

"He never asked knowing this part of my ability to see his own fate. But one night…he asked. And I'll admit I was curious, but it changed everything. Seeing that his death was connected to this cataclysm we find ourselves in. I saw you two" she said talking to the demon pair. "Before you ever existed and realized that you two were my creations to fight this. But you were not alone I made four Threads of Necessities. And it took me to see the love of my life's death….do you get it now Prometheus. This King Test does not matter anymore. Everything around us is going to burn unless we convince the World to take up arms" she said to Prometheus.

He fixed his glasses up his nose, "Fine. I'll prolong taking them to the World. Let them have refuge and make them stronger. And when their ready they will be set back on the path the World wants them on" he stepped closer to his sister. "In the mean time I will do what I can to help make the World take up this fight. And get the Regime ready you've been gone for a while things are not great among the Primordial. There have been assassinations and kidnappings. Things are volatile. Which now I see these problems I can only guess is the Void King's doing?" he patted her shoulder. "Please be safe sister and I do trust your judgment. Keep in touch with me. We will need the others to come in from their duties? The Guides have fought this war before with the Nexus" he suggested. She gave him a long look, "Perhaps your right they should be involved. I need to get them out of here before I'm finished with this realm"

She turned to look at the two demons.

"I know you both have questions. And I know your both bruised and beaten. But if you come with me I'll help you get stronger and answer all questions. Smiling you want revenge I will help you get it. But know this and truly hear me. Kira is no more you cannot save her. Like I told you death is her true freedom. Aim to help her find it" she then turned to Red Demon. "And you Red Demon have greater use than you know. I can assume All Seeing has been educating you on using the Mind Element?" She asked. This caused Smiling and Prometheus to become surprised. "All Seeing? Your telling me he has the spirit of All Seeing attached to him?" He looked saddened. Sister Spinner turned to him, "I know this is something important to you but she isn't the same All Seeing you loved Pro" he felt hurt by this and looked away with disgust.

Red Demon watched all this and then answered her question. "She has. And I know about the other element locked inside me. Which you will help me rectify correct?" He asked bluntly. "Oh I intend to help you achieve all elements before you leave my Soul Plane" this caused him surprise. Smiling demon stood, "I will go if you can give me revenge I will go I want that King's death!" He said with true anger. "Then let's head out" she snapped and a circle portal opened. Prometheus drew a magic circle upon the ground and it then came to life. He stepped on it. "Be safe Sister" he said before disappearing from sight.

"Go through the portal. My subordinate will be there waiting for you. Rest and I'll get you knew clothes when I return" she stated walking away. "Where you going?" Red Demon asked. "I have a funeral to attend to" she simply said.

Leaving the two demons alone. "You alright?" Red asked. "No. I'm pissed. We lost hard and I can't stand it…I was falling for that girl if I can be honest. I knew it was temporary, but we both let it happen. Can I ask you something?" He asked. "Yes" Red said staring at the portal. "Do you feel like our mission is fucked and were the ones in the dark?" Red Demon nodded. "Yeah…but that's gonna change" he pointed his head to the portal for Smiling to follow. They entered the portal and behind them it closed.

Sister Spinner stood outside the Lycaon Keep. Hellions ruled the keep now and were wandering about it feeding on the dead and fighting amongst themselves. Some looked intelligent and were walking the ramparts in armor and had sheathed weapons. She could see that all around the keep and surrounding area was nothing but corpses. From corrupted to Wolf Warriors. None who served the Wolf King were alive.

She then turned invisible and began to make her way inside. She kept up a quiet stealth moving through the keep she had her swords in her hand under her cloak. One corrupted was coming close to her hiding spot where she let a pack move past. It began to sniff the air. With a quick flash she threw a small gold needle that then started to sink into its body. Its eyes flashed gold as it became frozen in a standing position. 'Start a fight and kill your brethren till you yourself are dead. Make it loud!' She ordered inside its mind. It growled turned and picked up an ax on the ground and began to run towards its fellow corrupted. 'I gave it a boost of power so he'll be a hard one to defeat. Keeps them distracted' she thought as she kept moving. She came to the courtyard and saw the inner gate was in shambles. She went through the gate still able to hear the in fighting that was going on. She kept walking till she came to a stop. There laying alone on the cold stone ground of the courtyard was the King himself. His mask lay next to him revealing his bruised and bloody face. His body for the most part was intact but he suffered multiple if not hundreds of stab wounds all over his body.

Not one inch was left unscathed by a blade attack. Tears fell from her face, "I'll take you somewhere nice where I can visit all the time….you were the only man I have ever truly loved and the only one I ever will" she bent down kissed his cheek. She could hear footsteps behind her. She turned to see a young looking Hellion with a katana in his hand and rested upon his shoulder. He was smirking and was wearing light armor. His white hair was spiked up and his right arm was covered in tattoos. "I thought I felt a presence walking about" and he could speak coherently. "Seems the Nexus has chosen a body giving us the gift of sentience again. Wandering about that desert as a mindless beast like those weak Corrupted…the realms will suffer after we get done with it Primordial" Sister became visible and with gold glowing eyes she threatened him with her strong aura.

Hellion kept smiling, "Nothing to say?" She said nothing as she picked up the Wolf King's body slumping it over her shoulder. She held onto her needle sword with her free hand. The Hellion looked at it and then her. "Go. Not going to make a difference anyway this realm is ours! Soon it will be nothing, but corpses among the corrupted" Sister Spinner then opened a portal under feet sinking into it.

The hellion giggled as he walked over to the wolf mask on the ground. He picked it up and put it on. The mask morphed to fit his face and filled him with power. "Yeah this will be fun!" He said with glowing purple eyes.

Sister Spinner sat in front a pile of stones that housed the body of the Wolf King. She buried him upon a cliff over looking an ocean shore. Her Soul Plane as tropical paradise. Full of sunshine, blue sky, and warm weather. She looked up at the two suns then back at the grave. "Please find eternal rest here. We'll be together one day. And then we can be together for eternity" her head sank and she lit a cigarette. She then just stared out at the sapphire blue. Tears fell down her face as she thought about the King's smiling face as they laid in bed together bare and interlocked in each other's embrace. 'This life is nothing, but a struggle. Shit is going to get worse and I don't have you by my side' she then started to sob as her head sank onto the pile of rocks.
