Chapter Text

Before All Life Began on Earth and Other Planets, and before all universes became seperated but still connected to one another, the entire solar system and multiverse were as one, and there was only one life in that conjoined world, the Cosmic. The Cosmic was Humanoid in Shape, in the same color and texture as space was.

though with a purplish tint to it to make it stand out more, with bright white sockets, and a long thin like tail, the Cosmic was the only life here in existence, not counting the... two outsiders from outside the actual multiverse, They were the only actual life in the entirety of creation, and boy were they Alone. Being the only Life in existence and the most powerful entity of all time, it was pretty boring being all by their lonesome, they just wanted to do something special for once, clicking and huffing as they would often look upon the solar system and milky way, doing whatever they can to surpass their isolation. they get bored very fast and quickly, until they eventually came to the realization that they were the only one here in this plane of existence, with no-one else to talk to or be with, they were simply, All alone.

They tried making their own companion to be with them throughout whatever their life may remain or such, it didn’t work out that well, they had used too much of their limitless power to where their compainion became sentient and such, before it escaped them, and they were alone once more, they tried again, this time using a bit less of their power, though that too resulted in a bit of a failure with the second attempt having to occasionally make themselves a New body before they too had that one escaped them too, and they were back to being alone once again.

They cosmic tried once more to make just one companion and for a while they did, though they were forced apart from their companion when the planet earth actually began when an meteorite struck right against it, and the cosmic’s curiosity got the better of them as they went to investigate the event and incident, and that was when they saw actual life rather than themselves and the attempted companions they had tried to create.

Though of course not all was peaceful in the cosmic's existence, cause their first visit to Earth would have to be put on hold, because they had to prove their hold and rule in the universe when they had to fight against an outsider to the universe, not as well known as three eventual outsiders, but still a dangerous foe that they had encountered. it was a large humanoid like monster similar in appearance to the cosmic.

darker in color to the cosmic, having more monstrous like traits such as spines, three tails, three pairs of eyes, an second pair of arms, talon like claws and toes, red maroon like eyes instead of the calming white like pair of eyes that the cosmic had. with horns on it's head and sharp powerful teeth, and unlike the cosmic's calm and wise personality, this outsider was more wild, vicious, and feral in comparison to them. The fight and such was the first in many that the cosmic had to really rely on their unlimited power and strength, feeling what blood, and injury and the thrill of it.

they wouldnt never admit it, but they enjoyed the experience, though the same could not be said for the outsider, whom the cosmic learned was called Kronos, the two had battled for what may seem like hours to them, but in reality they had battled for months on end, with each blow causing more and more damage, their fight causing a small ripple to form, eventually creating what are now called black holes, and white holes due to stars exploding and dying due to Kronos absorbing their essence to get more power to fight the cosmic, eventually being defeated by the cosmic, and shot straight into the black hole, never to be seen again.

The cosmic huffed as their fight had caused them to think more rather than act, and eventually they went back to their original routine, patrol, observe, act and watch. And always being bored. They would consider going back to that strange blue planet, but there were other planets that required their attention, like Mars, Jupiter, and many other, way before the life on there had vanished with seemly no trace, that was when they created another companion to help them with that, like the moth being it was more feminine but more humanoid in it’s appearance, being the template for a female version of what is literally god in another universe, but for now she was another creation made by the cosmic.

but even then during their trips and observations of the planets, the two splitted up, and they were alone once again, watching life pass by, and observing the inhabitants of each planet.

Though it wasn't the first time they had seen life, it wasn't and possibly won't be the last time even, they clicked and huffed softly as they explored the vast majority of what life there was to see on other planets, including ones that have now at thig point in our present time were no longer teaming with intelligent life, but back in the day? when everything was still underway? Life was teaming in outer space, with everything that someone could ask for, The Cosmic huffs lightly, they created all of this life sure.

but were there any that actually made them be interested? no not at all, they huff lightly as they would usually spent their time just watching the creatures and life they made do whatever, grumbling lightly as they would get bored quickly, humming and huffing as even with finding new ways to make new ones or kill them all.

it was still boring to them, they just wanted to see something interesting for once in their unlimited immortal life, huffing lightly as they eventually passed by planets that would soon be endangered or completely erased of life, and as they would wander around these planets, they just stared with a plain and emotionless look at the structures and ruins that were made and formed, grunting lightly as they crossed their own arms, humming and clicking their own jaws in thought as their beaming white sockets glowed slightly further, huffing before they would just keep on with their existence.

hoping to find something that would actually make them actually impressed and curious, huffing softly as they would continue to observe any planet that still had life on it, thought always curious about planet earth, though they think it would be the same as the other planets. All dead and barren and isolated, like all of life would be eventually, and of course like before their trip to earth had to be cut short by sensing something wrong, at least they got closer to it, as for what they sensed? well they'll surely find out as they flew away from the planet, once again letting it grow and evolve unlike any of the other planets it observed.

There was a time when the Cosmic had to defend those barren planets though, from the two outsiders, one of these outsiders, a large black colored dragon like creature with eyes on it’s body, an odd long dome shaped head similar to what a xenomorph’s head looks like, giant wings, eight pairs of limbs, a long barbed like tail, messy teeth that had odd tendrils like mouths open and shot out from it, and a odd method of killing and attacking, this is what will eventually become the dreaded Mind flayer, the first outside of the universe.

as for the second outsider? It was a red colored demon, that took many forms, with it’s face strangely humanoid in the form of a tribal mask, the texture and skin of the body much like a skeleton, with wings, gills, fins, legs, and a long whip like bladed tip like tail, and Sharp fleshly like spines.

this is the truth and myth behind the idea of satan and the demons as a whole, so really. This was the first demon in existence, but not the first in the universe anyway, he was only the first and only demon to exist outside the universe, but that didn’t stop the cosmic from doing their duty to protecting these barren planets, the eyes on the mind flayer creature confirmed that this creature slaughtered and devoured the inhabitants of the planets, while the Demon called RED would do all of the heavy work, like destroying buildings, terra-forming the planets and generally being a distraction for the inhabitants while the mind flayer was the real threat.

At least that’s what the cosmic thought anyway before they met the third outsider of the universe, An large celestial like being, whom looked even bigger than both RED and The Mind flayer, having dark armored like skin, tusks on it’s head, eyes located on it’s chest, neck, arms, and even on it’s forehead, powerful legs, two large tails, and a head almost like a crocodile’s in a way, this outsider was Called Alrun, he was the mastermind behind the attacks, wanting to claim the universe for himself, while RED and the Mind flayer were just helpers and pawns to him.

When the Cosmic had realized that, they used the full extend of their unlimited power to defeat and scare off the outsiders, while RED and The Mind Flayer were easy to drive away, Alrun was not, determined to succeed in his plan to claim the entire universe as his own, eventually being killed by the Cosmic’s companions, the large moth like being, the dragon serpent like being, the more feminine humanoid like entity and the winged dinosaurian like being, the three along with the cosmic defeated and slained Alder, each shattering a part of his body and making it lost throughout the universe before shooting down the final part straight to a planet in the shape of a meteorite.

unawarely causing an event in where the oxygen in the blue planet was a thousand times more effective than it was on the current day, as for the other parts of alrun? They were lost, mainly cause the guardian couldn’t defeat him alone, they had to get help/ though the monster claimed that he will be back one day, and when he does, there will be chaos. unaware that a small fragment of him had crashed into the blue planet.

After that whole ideal, the five entities went their own ways, with the Cosmic once again being alone and searching for a reason to exist, that was when years later they had came back to the blue planet, huffing and clicking lightly as they think to themselves, perhaps they should see what the planet holds, maybe this time they’ll be caught off guard…

And indeed they were. For when they had got to earth, they were memorized with the whole planet, the landscapes being formed, the earth growing into grass, grass growing into wood, wood growing out leaves and sticks, white clouds forming in the sky, rain falling down constantly onto the ground, mountains being formed, volcanoes erupting out of these mountains, little pebbles and rocks dropping to the ground, and most of all, animal life.

from fishes to amphibians to birds to a whole bunch of life that was slowly taking shape and form. The sun setting, the moon rising, rain, snow, ice, all the weathers, and they were excited about this new change, even going as far as to helping in making their own form of life, to give the life here a bit more of a challenge, they only made one though, just because they were so entranced by the beauty of this planet. They watched the bright blue sky being formed and created onto the planet, the large blue ocean and water forming itself, and life thriving nearly everywhere they could see, and that gave them their own idea, something to do to make this very special, using their power on some of the life there that would be the very ancestors of humans as a whole, created an rather unique type of humans that were now king since extinct, they were called Titans, and those who were deemed worthy in the cosmic’s case would evolved into what are now called Angels.

who will eventually be working with what will be called God. They smiled brightly at the lives they all created, clapping their hands together as the cosmic huffs softly to themselves, grinning brightly as they watched their creations interact and such, it made them curious and ponder for more of this thrill of their life, before they figured they could make something else, something more… interesting.

They tried this with one of their angels, though only managing to make them into something else entirely, calling that one The Monarch, though as for their Titans? there was one that they managed to make just a tad bit more interesting, they called that one Jeonsa, he was the first ever demon. and for what his role was well... they would reveal it soon another as they glanced back to the remnants of the meteorite, hissing and huffing lightly as their beaming white sockets glowed brightly, with their power beaming and increasing within every second, they gurgled and huffed, aiming on out a hand as they hummed lightly, using what little they had to use for the land and such, along with some of the life there like the lizards and fish, along with the remnants of the meteorite, and their own power and such, they created their first actual interesting entity in the world, starting them on out as large mysterious eggs.

of course- after making suitable parents and what not. though he had seen later on that their corpses were bones, like something had fought them and died. but it seemed that the beast fighting them had also died too. yet it never found it's body.

they couldn’t keep track of how many nests each of it's creations made, that was mainly for jeonsa to keep track of.

but just know that there was a lot of power it can use, huffing lightly as their sockets beamed further, increasing the progress by a lot, grunting and huffing lightly, this was taking a lot of energy but it was worth it, hissing lightly as the remnants of the meteorite slowly turned into what they wanted it to be, odd mysterious eggs with strange markings and patterns on them, clicking and snorting lightly as they inspected all of them, grinning almost as they felt an odd sort of excitement being formed, they actually enjoyed that, seeing and making some fort of life that wasn't by default, cause what would exactly hatch out of these eggs?

they don't know, and that's the fun part for them, they didn't know what they exactly created, they clapped their hands, grinning almost before they huffed, bringing all the eggs on over to the titan they made in a more special way, they ordered the young Jeonsa to watch over and care for these eggs and whatever hatches out of them until they were old enough to fend for themselves, and of course the other obeyed, and with that the cosmic left Earth, but kept an watchful eye on it, with Jeonsa doing what he was ordered, keeping watch of the many eggs that were made, while one egg caught his interest a lot more, one that was slightly bigger than the rest, dark blue in color, with purple patterns and odd yellowish carvings into it, as the days went by one by one the eggs started moving and waking up, as for the very first one that hatched? it was that odd blue like egg, as an red like aura slowly swept out from it as the egg cracked and cracked....

----

Many years later, when the World was ten times more hotter than it was today, life was getting a bit rougher for most of the inhabitants there to survive in the harsh climates, while nearby in another area that was thankfully kept unharmed from the huge amounts of heat, was a large forested like area, with mountains, rivers, clearings, plains, everything, though the journey to get to that area was a harsh one... unless one of those animals were from those eggs that the cosmic made. The day was quiet and peaceful, birds flying around and what animals were there were relaxing in some shade, before the peace was suddenly interrupted by the sounds of an small earthquake, when in reality an sort of... chase was going on.

An Loud booming roar echoed throughout the land, with small odd looking birds shrieking as they flew off, an large two headed looking monster, perhaps around 80 feet, or maybe more who knows, had suddenly rushed on out of the trees, with pure crimson red eyes, an long whip snake like tail with two red markings on the end of it that looked like eyes, bones seen on it's body acting as armor, and a eerie eye with a black pupil seemly lodged into it's chest, two uncurved bone like spikes on the back of it's shoulder, razor sharp claws, an sharp elbow spike on both arms, and odd downwards small tusks at where the end of the jaw was where it was near to the neck, having a darkish red like underbelly on it's arms and on it's body too, with small but sharp pylon like spikes on the back of it's feet, the two headed beast roaring loudly as they were chasing a slightly smaller looking creature that was grey in color, and skitterish.

with sharp hairy spines and a long tail, and seemly no eyes or horns unlike the other, shrieking and roaring as the slightly more humanoid creature yelps and dodges an blast of an odd fire like ball from the demon's two heads, roaring as it keeps chasing the other in a bit of anger, growling lightly as they missed the initial attack, growling as the smaller grey skinned demon looking creature hissed and stuck it's tongue out at the other, who then shrieked as it nearly gets blasted by the two headed demon, skittering and hiding as the large 80 foot tall beast growled and stomped around, it's crimson red eyes blaring and glaring into everything as they sniffed around, hissing and grumbling as the other head scanning around the surroundings.

growling and clicking with the eye on the chest steaming and glowing, almost looking around too in a way, clicking and huffing as it stomps down for a moment, sniffing around slightly further as their eyes furrowed slightly, growling and barking, firing out more of those odd fireballs around the surrounding area, growling and hissing lightly.

The two headed demon grumbles lightly, sniffing around further as it growled, an odd black like substance dripping from their mouths as it grumbled, stomping and lumbering around further and further, before it hissed as it gets it’s foot stuck in an hole, and that was the distraction the other needed. The smaller demon leaps on out of it's hiding place, mauling onto the larger two headed demon as it shrieks, trying to get the other one off.

snarling as it tried to yank the other off with it's two heads, before it snarls out loudly as it was shocked by a bunch of lighting that came out of the smaller demon, roaring before it fell right onto the ground with a thud, steaming slightly as it groaned, hissing as the smaller demon snarled a bit, before it looks up when another loud booming roar erupted out of nowhere, hissing before it shrieks as it gets blasted by a huge purple like ray, the two headed demon blinking slightly as it glanced over before smiling. There out of the clearing was a much more larger demon, even larger than the two headed one.

growling and hissing, having two pairs of arms, three pairs of eyes, sharp slightly curved horns, an long powerful tail with an skull like head on it, complete with similar horns and barbs around the skin part of the tail, smaller pairs of purple like crystals on the head, and an burning glowing set of gills and a golden like streak running down from it’s neck to the end of the tail where the second head on the tail is, the skin of the newcomer was an dark blue, with an armored black underside and a chest spike, the larger demon growled, before roaring on out loudly as the smaller demon shrieks, scrambling around before running off as the larger demon scared it off, grunting and snorting before turning it’s attention to the two headed demon, snorting lightly as he lumbers to him "are you alright?"

he asked, with the other huffing and snorting "tis but a scratch" he said, before hissing as he rubs his foot that was still a bit sore "though... that did caught me off guard."

he admits, with the other snorting as he smiled, joking as he came over to the two headed demon “it seems your getting rusty in that old form of yours my friend.” The larger demon said, helping him out of the hole as the other huffed and hissed “look, I had it all under control. That little whelp just surprised me is all.” He said, with the other snorting “why were you chasing the little one anyway..?”

He asked, with the two headed demon snorting as he grumbles lightly, looking at the much more larger demon with a snort "little bastard stole my food from one of the prey items i killed to control the balance.. and yes" he snorted, admitted something as he crosses his arms, his spikes glowing and steaming slightly "i may of gotten a bit out of hand but... urgh. it's hard getting food more and more lately." 

He bragged, with the other snorting lightly "Venoraux. The planet is just going through another phase, just wait for a few more decades and you'll be able to feed again." he joked, with the other snorting "Arzaxoth, just because your the king of all of us, doesn't mean you can't eat either." he said, with the larger demon, Arzaxoth snorting lightly as he smirked "we aren't youngins anymore you know." he said, with the other huffing "apparently that little shit didn't get the memo." he said, grumbling lightly with Arzaxoth huffing lightly "he will soon, i'll have to deal with him again."

He said, huffing lightly as his tail shifts for another moment, thinking to himself before he lumbers off “your not going to do it now?” He asked, as the king of all demons huffs “not right this moment you are correct, someone’s… been going around causing a bit of discomfort to the others, including my dear sister..” he said, huffing as the two headed demon grumbled Lightly “it’s probably Alder. or maybe otmitius... those demons are too much of a prick to be like you. Even if they both want that crown”

he said, with arzaxoth snorting slightly “and that is why he and otmitius never get it either. Still so stubborn and young it’s idiotic.” He said, huffing as he and Venoraux kept walking further away from the clearing, going through the forest before eventually arriving at a large open like area through an makeshift tunnel that looked almost like an stone structure like city, makeshift almost, with Arzaxoth rumbling softly as he stared at his kingdom, smiling a tiny bit “don’t let the others catch you like this m’lord."

Venoraux stated, patting his shoulder with a smirk on his two heads. "They’ll be thinking your getting soft in your old age.” he said, with the other huffing lightly as he shakes his head, lumbering down a hill "I am never going soft my friend, I may act nicer to most of my subjects, but that doesn't derail me from my role, I'm just... more calmer than the rest of them"

he said, with the two headed demon snorting "you mean your more in control then the rest of us? ya trying to say we're the wild ones?" he joked, with Arzaxoth snorting "Yes, basically."

he said, glancing over "if you would of just evolved too like the rest of us, perhaps you would be in better shape, and not falling for that whelp parry's tricks towards you." he said, with the two headed demon hissing and snorting "I like this form, ain't no way I'm adapting to the current changes here unless I actually need too. plus I'm plenty powerful already~"

he sneered, the eyes glowing a bit "besides." he teases slightly, his tail shifting lightly as Arzaxoth rolled his eyes slightly "I don't need to add any more inches to my height when your the biggest one out of all of us here pal."

he said, with the king rumbling and snorting, before glancing over as another demon joined the two, looking a bit more smaller than both Arzaxoth and Venoraux, having two pairs of wings, a normalish looking demon like tail, white markings around it's black like body, and humanoid like eyes similar to the titans and Angels, oh. shit. it was alder. hopefully he didn't hear anything of what he and venoraux said. "ah, Alder how is everything down there?" 

He asked, with the other huffing and smiling a tiny bit “everything’s still peachy sir, The others are happy with the current harvest, if the year keeps going like this, we shall have another bountiful harvest.”

He said, with the other nodding slightly as his tail shifts, before huffing lightly as his tail shifts as he notices Alder was looking a bit…. Odd “something wrong my friend? You seem troubled.” He asks, with the other huffing lightly “yes yes… just…." he sighed, rubbing his forehead.

"It’s Kur’s Brother, Ancalagon, he’s causing a drama scene again…” he said, with Venoraux laughing, both heads nearly making a fake tear come out, snorting softly. “again? How many times does he need to be taught this lesson? I thought Kodai putted him in his place?”

He asked, with Arzaxoth snorting lightly as he rubs his forehead, grumbling “unlike Kur and Deb. Ancalagon is more reckless than the two of them… even though he’s the oldest of the two. But still. I am sorry to hear that… any reason why?” He asked, with Alder rubbing the back of his head, almost annoyed at the obvious answer. “he wants the crown m’lord. what else is new?”

He said, with the larger demon freezing before grunting “of course. It’s always the crown whenever he's in his mood swings." he grumbles lightly, rubbing his forehead as his eyes glowed "He’s never going to be a ruler. I don’t see why he keeps trying to claim my crown. He knows he has no chance.”

He said, grunting as he keeps walking off, with both Venoraux and Alder looking at him and then at eachother before back at him, quickly going after and following him “where is he, alder.” He said, with the other huffing “at the Main Area, causing a bit of rukus… you know him.”

He said, with the other huffing “of course I do. kur’s younger than him yet he acts far more mature and wise than his older half. This is why I favor him over the other. He’s more calm and collected.”

He said, huffing lightly as he keeps walking towards the makeshift city, "you know one of these days Alder your gonna have to take order. you are the chosen one after all."

He said, huffing lightly as the young demon shrugged, snorting softly "yes but. the prophecy is still in place. the peace is still here. and this alrun beast hasn't been seen for eons. perhaps we have read my prophecy wrong?"

He suggested, with the demon king huffing lightly as his tail shifts for another moment, thinking to himself before the three entered the city, Arzaxoth looking around as the other demons stared in awe at the sight of the demon king, rumbling lightly as he gurgles a bit, noticing another special looking demon that was pacing around, looking much more like a dragon, but with armor on the body, the armored plated like body was black with red streaks and such on it, along with a bright colored Gem, and two pairs of eyes and sharp looking horns, this was the second oldest of the trio of dragon demons, Named Kur.

even though his name translates to mad, he was far from mad, far more calm, brave and collected and honourable, acting more or less like a knight rather than a mad demon “kur! How are you my friend!” Arzaxoth called out, the armored demon glancing over and perking up, bowing down before waving “it is going good.! Just… uh…” he looks away slightly, with Arzaxoth huffing “yes I know. It’s Ancalagon again. Alder already informed me.”

He said, huffing as the Armored Dragon like demon frowned, nodding back "y,,,yea,,, l,,,look i tried s,,sire but,,, it seems he's a lot more angry today,, i,,, i don't know what caused it he... he was doing just fine before." he said, with Arzaxoth sighing lightly "don't worry, i'll take care of it." he said, huffing softly,  unaware of Alder glancing back a bit.

despite his grudge against the other, Arzaxoth knew that Ancalagon could always be talked down from doing anything rash, times were tough and stressful so it was bound to happen one of these days with a day where he can't normally be calmed down, huffing softly as he stared at Kur for a moment, noticing an crack on his shoulder "what is that? did he do that to you?" he asked, his tone changing for a moment as Kur yelped, sweating a bit "i,,,it was accident,,,! i got a bit too close and he just,,, scraped me, that's all" he said, with Arzaxoth not convinced in the slightest, huffing "Alder, Venoraux. go and make sure everyone is okay, i shall deal with this."

he ordered, with the two others nodding as they went off "show me where Ancal is." The Demon king asked as Kur gulps, before calming down a bit and nodded, leading the other to the main area, with Arzaxoth huffing lightly as he followed “a…and please try not to hurt him sire… perhaps it was a misunderstanding?”

He asked and suggested, with the demon king huffing softly “I cannot make that promise but. I shall try to not have him cause violence” he said, the two walking further, before eventually finding a big clearing with a bunch of odd buildings that looked like caves with odd signs on them, The demon king and knight demon noticing a bunch of commotion nearby as Arzaxoth huffs, picking up his pace as he goes past Kur, huffing softly as he growled a tiny bit, making some of the others moved to let him past, the old king glancing up and staring at the figure responsible for the commotion.

There were two there, one slightly smaller than the others, looking similar to Kur and Ancalagon but without the armor and rainbow like parts, having two tails, each having an rainbow like end on it with feathers, having an pair messy rainbowish feathery like wings, an similar gem to Kur but more brighter and shinier, with eyes around it, and similar eyes on the neck and underneath the main pair of eyes.

The entire body was colored in a dark scale like pattern, with hints of blue and purple in it, and having black eyes with an yellowish red eyeball with a black silt for the pupil, along with having slightly light greenish colored horns and sharp talons on the feet, this was the youngest half of the dragon demons, aside from drac that is.

This one however is named Debcarbia. the younger slightly smaller dragon demon yelped as he cowered slightly at the much more slightly larger and older one, and the one that was causing all the rukus.

It was another dragon like demon, slightly larger than the other two, having an dark black and golden like color, scars all around it’s body, firey like wings, spikes and an eye on his it’s arms, mutiple eyes nearly everywhere on the body, black ooze and goop occasionally dripping from the mouth and such, far more monstrous than the other two, with an long robust tail, sharp spikes on it’s large arms and legs, bone spikes on it’s ribs, an much more larger and darker gem, with cracks and such on it, along with extra horns on the head and ears, with the whole body flickering into a rainbow like color for a moment before flickering back to the dark golden like color, this was Ancalagon, the oldest half of the dragon trio, and ironically, he wasn’t the most mature out of the other two.

frequently getting into mood swings and having fits and rampages when things don’t go his way, the scars he had were from the many fights he had during his rampages, all from other demons of course, Arzaxoth growled and hissed, before Ancalagon stopped, glancing over, with Debcarbia quickly scrambling and running off, hiding behind Kur as Arzaxoth snorted lightly at the larger dragon, of course he was the largest one here though, but still this wasn’t what Ancalagon usually looked like, this is just what he looked like during his… well, mood swings and rampages. Ancalagon hissed and snarled a bit, Arzaxoth huffing softly as he shakes his head “what is it now Ancal." he snorted, growling softly "Got up in another one of your bad moods?” He asked, with Ancalagon staring as that odd black smoke came out of his body, staggering slightly “I aM tIREd oF ThIs.”

He said, with Arzaxoth raising an eyebrow “I don’t follow.” He said, huffing “I sAId IM TiREd oF YoU, FoR nEaRlY 7 GEnErATiOnS yOu’VE BeEN KIng, And NoThInG’S CHaNgEd!” He shouted, with Arzaxoth raising an eyebrow, glancing back at Kur and Debcarbia as they both shrugged, with the demon king huffing and glancing back…

yeah he was definitely not himself, must of got drugged from eating one of those shrooms. or maybe. something else happened, Because a lot has changed, they have a society now, along with peace, good protection, best kinds of weathers suited for their bodies, and everyone was happy… so why wasn’t he happy? “Did you eat those damn shrooms again. Because a lot has changed ya-“

he was cut off by the other letting out a angered roar “I aInT TaLkInG aBoUt ThaT! I’m TaLkInG abOuT yOuR OrDeR! kEEpInG eVerYoNe in lInE! yOUr dOiNg a pIsS PoOr jOb aT iT!” He said, with Arzaxoth blinking before snorting “you must be mistake… Ancalagon I know we have… our differences and grudges… but even you know that everything is a lot better now that I’m king. I maintain the order and balance here. and maintain the truce between our kind, and the titans. and the angels...Don’t you forget that.”

He said, with the other hissing and sneering “YOU CAnT lEAd fOr nOtHiNg! iF I HaD yOuR cRoWn! I WoULd bE MuCh BeTtEr aT tHis ThaN YoU!” He said, with everyone going silent as Arzaxoth stares, before snorting

“yeah. Your drunk. Go back home Ancalagon. This is why you’ll never be a ruler. Too much anger… too much rage in you… go sleep it off." he snorted, shaking his head as he sneered and hissed "And come back when your normal... and don't try to fight me for my crown.... you won't win anyway.”

He said, huffing as he turned around and started to walk off, with Ancalagon twitching and steaming before roaring loudly “DONT YOU TALK BACK LIKE THAT TO ME!” Out of nowhere he instantly shot out an odd steam of fire, all the demons watching in shock as it strikes and scorched Arzaxoth’s back.

----

The Demon King let’s out a shriek, grunting as steam and smoke escaped out of his body, everyone watching with wide eyes, Kur gulping as Debcarbia trembled slightly, Venoraux watched with a expected look, glancing over and shaking his heads at Ancalagon’s direction, Alder backed up, huffing softly as the larger dragon like demon growled and stared at all the reactions, his eye slowly going back to normal, as if realizing his mistake as he stares with wide eyes as Arzaxoth slowly turned around, staring blankly as his black eyes were an crimson red, with purple silts and tears coming out of them, this wasn’t him actually crying no sir… this was what happened when someone pisses him off. Before we continue let’s talk a bit about these three. or well, four.

Ancalagon, Kur, Drac and Debcarbia were once one entire demon called Drago.

an large black, blue, and green colored dragon demon that was the previous second in command to Arzaxoth before Venoraux took that role, Drago was getting too old too quickly, so in order to survive, he splitted himself into four halves, The demonic dragon knight called Kur, the rainbowish colored mess Ancalagon, and the child-like but shy nervous mess that is Debcarbia, and the more skinny and power hungry one, called simply Drac.

though he was run out of their society by Arzaxoth after he was caught trying to steal the other three’s powers, and being an failed protector to one of his brothers, the only thing that was remembered from drac was that he was much more smaller than the three dragon demons, basically a lanky mess, and far more weak, and therefore gains power by absorbing more power from either weaker demons, or from the other three. so yeah basically these three aren't brothers, just like.. halves of one being, but everyone just treats them like brothers.

But now… since Drago was technically gone, and what was left were these three, four if counting the now banished drac. that didn’t mean Ancalagon would get off that easy, he soon realized that too late when right before he could try to apologize to him, the other yowled as Arzaxoth in a blinding speed rammed him straight down into the ground, everyone backed up as Arzaxoth stared down at the other dragon like demon, growling as Ancalagon squirms a bit, hissing in surprise as he backs away, trembling even, almost like a spell had just been broken over him.

“I-I didn’t mean it! S-sir! I don't know what came over me! i didn’t mean it—“ he yowls as Arzaxoth jabs his claws right into his ribs and stomach, the demon growling before he lifted him up, and bashed him right to the ground again, before the other’s two tails whacked into him, staggering back as he growled, with Ancalagon staggering and clutching his ribs, panting and huffing, glancing over before shrieking as he had his neck clamped on by the other’s jaws, shrieking as he was slammed to the ground repeatedly, everyone watching as they all backed away, with Kur running off to go get the second ruler of demons to try and stop this, even as the fight was going on and turning more brutal by the second, with the two mauling and clawing at one another like vicious animals.

Arzaxoth lets out a loud roar, his tail aiming and opening up it’s second head as a thin ray pierces out of it, striking and slicing an chunk of the other’s horn, which caused the other to roar out and stagger back, before the other’s head was bashed down right into the ground by Arzaxoth’s tail, grumbling lightly as he stomped towards the other, anger in his eyes. Ancalagon was then slowly lifted up, yowling in agony as Arzaxoth clawed into the other’s stomach and such, even tearing out the bone spikes attached to the skin and stabbing it into the other’s body, he was flunged right to the sky, Arzaxoth snarling as fiery like wings sprouted out of his body as he flew up, ramming into the other as Ancalagon clawed at him, kicking and whacking him as he shrieks and snarls, blasting him with his fire, stabbing into Arzaxoth’s chest as the demon king roared.

growling as he clamps his jaws onto the shoulder, tearing off his huge shoulder spikes, and tearing them into his messy wings as Ancalagon shrieks further, flapping his wings repeatedly as he keeps thrashing around, kicking and slashing and punching and clawing at the larger demon as he was being brought further and further away from the forested area that covered their society, being brought to the more barren lands that was the scorching area of the Permian period, all the while Arzaxoth was getting cut up and slashed and bit and burnt, but wasn’t fazed in the slightly.

before Ancalagon was about to fire out his ray again, he yowls out loudly in agony as he was blasted by Arzaxoth’s own ray, an spiral purple colored plasma like styled beam that struck through his body, making him crash into a volcano as it instantly erupted and exploded, well… that explains the Permian extinction in the demon’s sides of everything at least.

The whole structure shattering apart as the other’s loud roars of agony erupted, in order to ensure he couldn’t use the lava, Arzaxoth fires out another ray that sent the lava into a sparkling exploding mess, unawarely causing the huge sandstorm and 90% extinction that wiped out most of the life from the world, aside from the demons, Titans, angels, and the Zetos that is, smoke and fire and sparks flying out as Arzaxoth lands down onto the ground, the fiery wings flickering before he used them as a attack by shooting them at where he made Ancalagon crashed, another minor explosion and tremor happened as Arzaxoth growled and hissed, steam coming out of him before lumbering closer and closer, not minding the huge amount of heat in his body, grunting as he stares down at Ancalagon.

The other was a bloody bruised up mess, twitching and groaning as he coughs and gurgles, his body was broken, and his wings were gone seemly, his second tail had melted almost into the other tail, the arm was nearly gone, and the gem on him was gone, now a huge crack like scar on his chest.

Arzaxoth slowly picked up the gem, and grunted, blowing it away as it fell into the hole, with Ancalagon hissing as he instinctively reached out towards it, before yowling further as Arzaxoth gouged and tears out the other’s eye, blood oozing and leaking out as The demon king huffs, squeezing the eye slightly as an odd blood came out of it.

before also tossing it aside as Ancalagon whines and hissed, twitching before roaring as his leg had been twisted, and his shoulder and arm dislocated and broken, trying to get back up but falling down slightly with a thud as he twitches out further, before he roared as his arm and shoulder got dislocated, being slammed down roughly again by Arzaxoth's four arms, the demon king placing his hand on the other's neck, glaring darkly at him

"i do not care. if you didn't mean to attack me like that. i know you ancal. and i know you would do anything to get me angry. but see. this is what happens to someone who disobeys... you are only lucky this is a fraction of what i can do to you..."

he said, as if blowing him apart in the volcano, tearing and gouging out his eye and ripping out his gem, messing up his leg and dislocating his arm and tearing apart his wings and breaking his ribs and bones was just a tiny bit of what he can do to cause pain "so. do not make me do this again..... do we have a understanding? this is not the way to being a ruler, with trying to fight for the crown just because you don't like them... there has to be a reason to fight for the crown... an good and noble reason, or an corrupted reason..."

he paused lightly, grunting as he plucked off a few broken horns on the other's body, grunting as he stared at him "why i fought for the crown is because i was tired of how everyone was being treated... i wanted them all to be equals.... and to treat eachother fairly... now im sorry that you haven't been given the same treatment as the others did to eachother... BUT!"

he kicks his ribs, ancalalgon wheezing almost as he was pinned down to the ground "tHat does NOT! give you the damn excuse to go around attacking our fellow subjects, AND attacking your own! if i see one more mishap of this again. i will NOT hesitate to kill you...." he said, before tearing out the other's already messed up wings, with the other shrieking loudly in pain, an dark blood like liquid dripping and leaking out of him, he could always regrow those wings back... even if it takes a while, when he was sure he got the message across, he lifted up Ancalagon's head, making him stare at him as Arzaxoth's three pairs of soulless black eyes stared at him coldly "do we have a understanding?"

He asks again, to which the other stared further, before wheezing as he stabbed an hole into the palm of the other's hand, being straight through as it whined loudly "i. said. do. we. have. an understanding...?"

he asked, staring and glaring for a moment before finally huffing as Ancalagon nodded weakly, with Arzaxoth snorting and nodding back "good." he finally gets his hand off, letting the other breathe, even though it was a bit hard for him to breathe as Arzaxoth snorted quietly, huffing before his horns twitched, glancing over as another demon showed up, similar in size to him, but with sharper looking horns, extra pairs of horns, an large eye on the top of his snout and head, tusks on his lower jaw, Eyes on where his gills would be, an black underbelly and underjaw, bone white spines, an large crocodile like tail, an chest spike, only one pair of arms, and having purplish yellowish red like eyes in front of blackened out sockets "Arzaxoth! Brother!!"

he called out, and yeah these two were related, there were actually four rulers in total, with the fourth being an unusual demon called HABIT. and an upcoming younger brother coming along the way in the next era, Kodai hissed lightly as Arzaxoth scoffed and backed up from the wounded and messed up weaken Ancalagon "stop this right now!" this was the second ruler of demons, while Arzaxoth was the King, this one was the Alpha of Demons, his Name being Kodai "i could of calmed him down myself brother! what did you do to him?!" he shouted, with Arzaxoth snorting quietly "he was causing trouble. and attacked my and HABIT's Deputies." he said, referring to Kur And Debcarbia of course as he grunted, he should of never given HABIT decarbia, both were still far too young, HABIT included. and now, he saw withness most likely to an end of this era, this. wasteland now engulfed in flames and what not.

He really needs to get his anger in check. 

"and as for what i did to him?" he steps a bit closer, with Kodai backing up "i made him understand his place. he was out of line. and disobeyed me." he growled darkly, huffing as his tail shifts, steam coming out of him "you need to get him under better control Brother, i thought i told you to stop putting false hopes and dreams into him" he growled darkly, his eyes glinting in a bit of red "he is NEVER going to be a ruler. not in the next million or something years, he'll still be the same." he said, huffing lightly "and he's never getting the crown either." he said, grunting lightly as he lumbers past his younger brother "w...where are you going...?"

Kodai asked, with Arzxaoth coughing lightly "i am going back to my palace, and i will come back to check on him later, i hope you'll make him behave better. and stop giving him false hope."

he said, growling softly, when it was about the crown and ruling over the other demons, he was not happy about that towards anyone who wanted the crown for themselves, unaware that Alder had watched the whole fight, walking off with a small smile in his face as he whistled softly to himself. with Kodai frowning slightly at what his brother was telling him, before sighing, huffing a tiny bit "yes brother...."

Arzaxoth grumbled softly as Kodai pointed out something else to the king.

"what.. what shall we do now?  with the land itself is you know.... dead.." he said, with Arzaxoth huffing as he pondered, before snorting softly

"have the angels replenish the lands, have life start over again naturally as the cosmic demands. we let nature take it course. for now... come. let's hope that HABIT isn't laughing up an storm. i hope this act of violent and destruction doesn't shape who he shall become when he is granted his role in the court..." he said, huffing slightly as he walked off, with Kodai glancing on back, before sighing and lumbering on off after him.

years passed after the permian era, it is now the late Triassic. and things were. tensed between Arzaxoth and Alder, more than usual. the young demon has grown far too reckless, and far too cocky. after a heated arguement, the king had him be escorted out of the temple. telling him that if he does a stunt like this again, he'll be banished.

he had took some time to calm down, staring out on a mountainside watching life flourish and what not, strange new creatures called dinosaurs now roam the lands, while the titans remain in secret in their own homeland, or in the sea. either way, it was nice to see some life return to the land that was destroyed during his battle with Ancalagon, he took in a deep breath, huffing softly before turning around and lumbering off. he doesn't know what is going on with Alder, he just hoped that the prophecy stays in balance. after all, he was meant to bring balance to all the races, he was an anomaly, an hybrid of every species, the demons, angels, titans, and supposedly an direct creation of the cosmic entity itself. so surely he was the chosen one!

but why... why did he feel like that maybe. just maybe... that Kodai was right.

what if he did read the prophecy wrong?

either way, after a few hours, he had eventually made it back to his temple, huffing and grumbling quietly as he goes into his palace, his tail shifting as he rubs his eyes, what a day and generation this has been... hopefully he could get some rest before he does his training lesson with his youngest brother, Zeto. whom was more or less his younger brother, the youngest out of all the leaders of the court really.

Arzaxoth huffed lightly as he keeps walking, before passing by one of the tamed titans, that he knew very well, someone that looked more demon than Titan, wearing an odd mask, though having features of demonic like traits on him, along with sporting dark robes, and holding an scythe to use as both a cane and a weapon if needed, he bowed slightly at Arzaxoth "greetings my king." he said, with the older being snorting quietly "fair greetings back, my guardian.”

He said, smiling softly as his tail shifted, at least his palace was still calm and quiet, perhaps he could actually get some sleep today “how is everything here." he asked, with jeonsa humming lightly as he smiled “yes my king, everything is going fine… though your sister is having trouble trying to negotiate with the angels… one of them in particular anyway.. the one that has the mask and straight jacket on…” he said, with Arzaxoth blinking before growling softly, knowing exactly who he was talking about, the Angel called Baal, and the said angel's partner, Seere. he rubs his snout with his front 'paw' grumbling lightly as his tail shifts "right...i shall see to what they want."

he said, with Jeonsa huffing "you know they were sent by God herself, she still wants you out of here. or at the very least to accept her offer." he said, with Arzaxoth snorting "she always wants me gone, the day she wants to have a truce is the day i'll die." he joked, huffing "as for that offer? giving my Crown to her strongest? the Monarch? that will never happen. he is neither an demon nor an ruler, he's more of an damn loyal lapdog then anything else." he said, grunting "but i will talk with these two, to see what message they have brought me from her." he said, turning around and lumbering off "and be sure to tell zeto that our training session starts soon...!" he said, grunting as he keeps walking towards his throne room.

Arzaxoth grunts lightly as he lumbers towards his throne, staring up ahead at the other angel, who was in reality more of an Titan that never grew around to the giant height, looking more like what would eventually be called an human, Seere had an more angel like face but far more younger, with slightly black hair and such, the other angel with their face covered was even taller, wearing what seemed like an jacket of sorts, with an odd mask covering their mouth like some kind of armor, with a bunch of eyes on them, with some of them covered by the slightly long hair and such, the other unlike Seere having wings and a halo, with only the one with the younger face having eyes shown, with the said eyes being an glowing white with purple pupils, Arzaxoth snorted softly,.

rumbling as he lumbers towards the two as they both glanced up, with the one with the mask and straight-jacket on twitching slightly as Arzaxoth lumbered towards the two "Greetings you two, what brings two of miss Virgin Mary's pupils here on this fine Day?" he said, with the other two huffing lightly, with Baal being the one to speak up "very funny. she has told us to sent you this message, to give up your crown, or she won't bring death and destruction down upon you. in that simple manner you dumb demons tend to listen to rather than our elegant more detailed speech."

the one with the mask said, with the demon king grunting softly at that, his eyes glowing as he pokes the angel's head, snorting with a small smirk "again with this..." he shakes his head, grunting lightly "is she that stubborn? or too much of an coward to face me. if she wants my crown, she will have to challenge me for it, not use her lackeys to do her dirty work." he said, with Seere hissing lightly "it is not our say, it is only hers." Baal said, with Arzaxoth snorting softly "well... i have told her many times and i will continue to say it, i will not give up my crown to one of her fifthly angels... including you." he said, with the other angel hissing and sneering "Oh so if it was that bright colored little angel whore that's always with you than she'd get--"

----

he yelps as he suddenly gets slammed straight down to the ground by Arzaxoth's tail, the other being stuck there as Seere yelps, backing up as baal screams loudly in pain, the Wings on him getting broken a bit as the tail was tightening painfully around him, with the pressure of the second head on the end of it staring blankly at Seere's face, with that unmoving grin widening almost as smoke came out of the skull's mouth. as the demon king glared down at him with a rather calm and cold smile on his face, watching Baal Struggle slightly as Arzaxoth growled lightly, the grip tightening as he hears some of the bones popping, grunting softly as he sneered at Baal "care to say that again?"

he said, as if to further deny it, his tail constricts around baal, nearly crushing his waist as he lifted him up "i already had a bad day teaching one of my brothers's deputy some manners... and i will be MORE than happy to start doing that to virgin mary's idiotic students." he said, growling lightly as he dub an claw into the other's shoulder, glaring a bit as his smile grows slightly "so. if you talk like that to me again. then i will gut you like a fish, and feed your insides to HABIT."

he nearly dislocated the other's shoulder after taking the claw out, seeing fresh blood dripping down the angel now, grinning almost before grunting as his eyes glowed red "so.... do you understand me?" he said, with the other nodding instantly, before he roughly slammed the angel down, grunting lightly "now... both of you stupid angels... get the fuck out of my kingdom, and tell Virgin mary that if she wants my damn crown.. you two are so lucky that the peace we have is unbroken." he said as he nearly pinned both of them to the wall, growling lightly "she has to fight me for it, and that she'll die too, not before i want her to kiss my fucking ass if she even dares brings any help."

he said, growling as he bared his teeth, the two angels quickly scrambling and running off after he lets them go, he snorted quietly as he rubs his forehead, grunting softly as he watched, before growling as he lumbered to his throne, resting there as his eyes glowed darkly, staring out into the distance... it was hard being the King sometimes.

He growls softly as he rubs his forehead, remembering about his session with his youngest brother, Zeto. grunting lightly as he staggers on up, lumbering quietly through the halls as he grunts softly, nodding his head at Jeonsa as the other nodded back, letting the king pass as Arzaxoth would snort and huff as he entered the other's room, looking around at the odd decorations and such, before chirping and clicking out as he waited, hearing an response shortly after, seeing an young little critter crawling on out of an large crack in the wall.

perhaps almost as small as Jeonsa was, on all fours like Arzaxoth was, having similar colors to the demon king, all light colored and such, with bright golden eyes, tiny horns, an small rattlesnake like tail, neatly folded wings, and little beans on his paws, this was the youngest slibing of the five lords, the first was the king, Arzaxoth, the second was the Alpha, Kodai, the Third was The Balance Keeper, Senshi, and the Fourth was The Punisher, HABIT, and the fifth and youngest lord, Zeto, or as his full name is called by the servants as Zetocarnious, was called the prince pretty much, he wags his tail upon seeing the king of all demons, which was his big brother, barking happily at him. "Zeto!"

Arzaxoth smiled as the other chirped happily "Big brother!!!" he said, his voice was much more higher and engertic rather than most of the booming low and imitating voices of the demons as he hugged his older brother, with Arzaxoth smiling and patting his head "hello my little prince... how are the servants treating you?"

he asks, with the other huffing "they're nice! but it's so boring...! are you done now with all your king duties?! can we go play now!" he said and asked, with Arzaxoth snorting and huffing lightly with a smile as he pats his head "yes yes yes, im all done with my duties, we can do our sessions now my little brother, perhaps i can finally show you how to use your powers properly." he said, smiling "maybe i can even teach you something new, or you could surprise even someone like me, showing an old dog some new tricks." he said, with Zeto smiling brightly "oh boy i can't wait!"

He said, running around him in circles as Arzaxoth snorted softly, rumbling a bit "hm... eager today are we not?" he said, with Zeto barking lightly, before he blinks, looking down slightly as the old demon raises his eyebrows "what's the matter my little prince?" he asks, leaning down as the young demon glanced on over and asked him this "don't tell me we have to do our prayers to the cosmic again do we....?"

he said, pouting slightly, to those reading this and don't know by now even though it's the first chapter, after the creation of the demons and such, overtime in the world, the entity that created them all known as the Cosmic has become nothing more than a religious figure to those who still remembered them faintly, with the demon king snorting softly as his tail shifts "don't worry Zeto, today is not an praying day thankfully, i have been busy for this past day i feel like falling to a deep slumber."

he paused lightly, rumbling a bit as his eyes glowed lightly, remembering about an meeting he was gonna have with a special someone. "so there shall be no prayer today to the creator." he said, with Zetocarnious perking up slightly with a big smile on his face, his fangs showing as his tail wags slightly "yay!" he shouted out, with the demon king snorting lightly "don't get too happy, things will go back to normal after the 2 days break from work. meaning we shall be training for two days straight after this one. i hope you can keep up this time my little brother."

he said, slightly joking as Zetocarnious frowns and huffs, before snorting and grinning "at least i didn't spent half of my time hanging around raibu, Beastrex, ookami, Atchban, Nana, Stars, Inky, hana!, kana, and even Vu~endi!" he said, with Arzaxoth suddenly nearly choking himself as he gurgles out an hiss, his eyes widening as he instantly grew flustered, before growling lightly as he barked "oh shut up!" he said, grunting lightly as he rubs his forehead "and what about that big white dragon looking lady? what's her name,,, oh wait it's an angel! uh, Bl-" Arzaxoth barked loudly at Zetocarnious "BROTHER I SWEAR TO ALL OF COSMIC!-"

and that got an howl of laughter out of the youngster, with the large demon king groaning and hissing as he rubs his forehead, having him hang around with HABIT and Sin was a mistake, grumbling lightly as his tail shifts "look. do you want to stay here now, or stop trying to mock my past and or current relationships and focus on the rest of the day?" he said, with Zetocarnious scrambling out of his bed, barking "yep yep!" he said, instantly going back to normal "i wanna learn how to use my magic to throw titans and demons into an volcano!"

He said, with Arzaxoth chuckling softly as he nodded "yes yes i know... well! come on then, let's get going. perhaps today will be that day when that happens." he said, motioning him to come over as he walked on out of the room, with Zetocarnious barking as he went after him, the youngest followed after his big brother like a little duckling almost. passing by some of the other rooms and such, and coming across some of the servants, whom were either lesser demons, or weaker Titans, some of the servants were Slaved Angels too, mainly to those that somehow survived Arzaxoth's wrath anyhow, they all treated the king and the prince with respect, Zeto barking happily as he jumped up and down, a bit happy to be finally playing with his brother again, they passed on by Jeonsa.

who was doing some final checks on their warriors, he bowed down to his king and the prince, with Zetocarnious waving happily to him as his tail wags further as Arzaxoth snorts softly, staring down at the other before turning around and walking off, as they went on and such, they passed by one of the warriors, an demon that looked more like an armored Serpent with arms and such, having soulless blood red eyes, and messed up horns, and looking like he was fading in and out of existence, this was Faded, one of the many more higher up warriors in the Kingdom of Arzaxoth, he bowed down for a moment to the king, before slittering on away, muttering quietly to himself as Arzaxoth stared on over to watch him go, raising an eyebrow, he was well aware that some of the warriors did not... approve of him.

nor his methods, but he didn't care, he can't be all nice and hunky dory to everyone, sometimes, being harsh and brutal was the right call to do to keep everything in balance...

even if it didn't always work, rumbling softly as he rubs his forehead, clicking a bit as he wondered what the other was doing, and why he has been avoiding him and the others for a while now, he shrugs, huffing as he keeps walking with Zetocarnious following close behind, he noticed how he was having trouble keeping up with his pace as he chuckled softly, even when he was going completely slow, he was still somehow going fast, rumbling softly as they passed on by another one of Arzaxoth's warriors.

This Demon was more upright than most, still hunched over though, with on it's large body it sports of four pairs of arms that weren't as long as Arzaxoth's arms, having two pairs of wings on it's back, two tails with spear tipped ends on it, an skull like head and face, with black sockets, and three pairs of horns, it was wearing armor unlike Faded was, it was a bit taller than faded was too, as it also passed on by the two, it didn't do anything either than just spare an glance before it keeps on walking, with Arzaxoth rumbling lightly as he watched that, snorting and huffing quietly as he and his brother keep on walking more and more, eventually arriving on out towards the courtyard, where one of the king's other siblings could be seen, along with one of his protectors, this sibling was his Sister, Azzy.

the Queen Of Demons more or less, or well, the princess of them all anyway.

she was around the same size as Arzaxoth was, though despite at first being mistaken as Twins, she looked almost nothing liked Arzaxoth, she was more slimmer in build, had an single pair of arms, an much more smoother snout, two pairs of mixed together like horns underneath the main pair, an blackened out socket, with extra green eyes around it, an flower on her head, gills, an greenish yellow colored sail, various scars and such around her body, and a long powerful tail with a whole bunch of vines, thorns and barbs on the end of it, making it look clubbed almost, The other demon, one of his protectors. Was a lot more smaller than Azzy was.

completely colored in black, with Purple spikes and shards around it's body, and such, completely lacking eyes, an beak like end on the mouth, an small chin like beard, an armored purplish colored underbelly, and a long robust like tail with an sword like end to it, this one went by many different names and such, due to so much of this protector's background and such being mysterious, but the name it mostly responses to either than "man-thing" from Azzy, was the name Apollyon as by most of the warriors here, though it's original name from when Arzaxoth first met him he went by the name of Azix, but this one perferred to be called Apollyon.

Apollyon was handing Azzy an large Tree, with pink leaves on it, Azzy rumbles lightly as she stares at it, an small smile forming as she gurgles softly, gently taking the tree, internally finding it both funny and adorable at how cute he was being, nuzzling him, before Arzaxoth snorts lightly, catching the two's attention as they both stood up straight, with Arzaxoth snorting softly "sister, protector."

he nodded his head and rumbles lightly as the two bowed down "cease my two friends, there are none of the members of the royal council here.. apart from my littlest brother of course." he said, snorting softly as his tail shifts and such "what was all that commotion down at the center of the village earlier that day?" Azzy asked, with Arzaxoth grumbling softly "just an falling out with Alder, he was in one of his fits again, and went a bit too far... so i had to teach him some manners, did the same to that angel and it's partner too."

he rubs his forehead, grunting softly "today has been quite a day and i am tired. im sorry to ask this but could you two do..." he rubs his forehead, rumbling lightly before gesturing on out of the courtyard in an gently and calm manner "whatever you were about to do, somewhere else? i need the courtyard for Zeto." he said, with Azzy blinking "oh... sure thing... also! remember about Kur's promotion from an deputy to an protector! it's early dawn next sun!"

she said, with Arzaxoth snorting softly, there were three roles in the ranks here, warrior, Deputy, and Protector, only an select few were chosen to be an protector of Arzaxoth.

course there was the guardian but only Jeonsa had that role and rank, since he was his most trusted soldier and comrade. After politely excusing his Sister and one of his Protectors, watching them go off as he turns back towards his youngest brother, smiling softly for a moment as he ran around, before their training session had begun, they started of course with basic stuff, like controlling one's magic and what not, and the basic spells and attacks and such.

but during which is when Arzaxoth discovered something that shocked both him and Zetocarnious, the young Prince had discovered an new power when he had destroyed nearly part of the castle with an loud clap after completing an spell he was having difficultly doing, the clap causing an huge burst and gush of wind and lighting and such to have chunks of the huge building and such nearly destroyed as the two stared with wide eyes, glancing back at one another, before glancing back at the castle

".....what do you know... looks like i'll know who will be my successor."

Chapter Text

it has been a while now. it was now the Late Jurassic Era, and both kinds of species were thriving, in their own ways.

Arzaxoth grumbles softly for a moment as he rubs his forehead looking at the sun rising slowly as he was there with his youngest brother, Zeto, who while has grown older, had a long way to go before being as old as him, the other demon’s tail swaying slightly as they watched the sun rise, Arzaxoth glanced over and looked at his young brother, rumbling softly as he thinks to himself, smiling softly as he huffs, patting his head “I want you to know something my little brother.”

He said, with Zeto glancing over “even though you have some… remarkable abilities… doesn’t mean my view on you changes. You are still my little brother. Just one step closer to overthrowing this old dog.” He said, chuckling slightly as Zeto perks up, smiling brightly as his tail sways happily “thanks big bro…!”

He said, with his eyes glowing as the demon king hums lightly, looking on out at the sky “it is beautiful is it not? Even though I am ashamed of what ancal had me do, in a way it has caused creatures unlike us to evolve in ways I cannot understand… nature’s creations are beautiful and mysterious as they not?” He said, with Zetocarnious nodding as he smiled slightly “yeah it is…… hey big bro?”

He asked, with Arzaxoth glancing over “do they have families?” He asked, with the demon king nodding “do we have any family..?” Another nod, with Arzaxoth rumbling softly “yes you do, we have our other brothers my little prince.” He said, with Zetocarnious frowning “I mean… do WE have a family? Like a mom and dad…. Do we have any of those..?” He asked, with Arzaxoth rumbling quietly... no.. he couldn't tell him. now not.

“…that I do not know… Jeonsa has taken Care of all of us, including every other inhabitant here in our society… but I would assume we did come from a male and female demon yes..”

he said, with The young prince nodding “….would our mom…. Be proud of us?” He asked, with Arzaxoth rumbling softly as he closed his eyes, thinking as Zeto made a small whine “would our father be proud…? Would they both have liked me?” He asked again, Arzaxoth rumbles softly, he asked those very questions to Jeonsa once upon a time to know if he himself had any family… though he does know. when he was born, he saw their deaths, right in front of him. he never told anyone, not even his sister. only he and jeonsa knew the truth.

he smiled, patting his head “if they were alive… they would of loved you very much.” He said, rumbling softly as he rubs his forehead, thinking to himself as he pats the other’s head “they would of been very proud of us… they must of died protecting us from the outsider…”

he said, with Zeto humming lightly “what’s died?” He asked, with Arzaxoth rumbling softly “it’s…. A complicated word my little prince… very complicated… I shall tell you when you are ready to hear it…”

he said, patting his head “but wherever they are…. They are indeed very proud of us… but” he huffs lightly, smiling “you have me, Kodai, Senshi, Habit, and Azzy… we are your family. Just like how you are our family too” he said, with Zetocarnious smiling softly, resting against his older brother as he wraps an arm around the smaller demon, the demon king looking up at the sun rising, smiling softly to himself, if they had parents… they would of been very proud of what they all did to keep this society running…

some time has passed since then., by a couple decades or so, and today was officially the day, Zeto, having grown older now, was watching the ritual of the protectors with Senshi, HABIT, and Kodai, along with one of their newest members of protectors, Azazel, who doesn't have a role yet, but will soon if he ever wants to, though... where's Alder? well... i'll explain soon but hush, we'll get to that. very much later on

they were all watching how an protector was made, with an suitable vessel being one of Arzaxoth's most trusted friends, Kur, the more mature dragon demon of the other three.

Debcarbia, Ancal, and Drac, the four halves of the original article of the dragon demon, Drago. he remembered how he looked before being split apart, a strong demon. a powerful one, and a trusted friend, as for why and how he was split apart, it will remain a mystery, not even Arzaxoth knew but it had to be for a good reason since if it wasn't for that, he and his brothers wouldn't had been able to get them. well. three of his brothers anyway, HABIT was also supposed to have the fourth one alongside decarbia but like i mentioned, Drac was banished from their society as you all know, anyhow back to here.

Kur rumbles softly as he was sitting there on a smaller throne, with Arzaxoth, 'Azix', Azzy, and a few others with a bunch of other demons and such in seats as they were all seemly waiting for something, Arzaxoth rumbles softly, looking at them all and then back at Kur, before looking at the others as Jeonsa came on through the doors, Bowing his head down as Arzaxoth rumbles softly, nodding his head “rise my friend.” He said, as the other did so, with the demon king looking at all his subjects, beginning his speech

"we have gathered here today to witness the creation of a new protector, Kur here, while he is younger than my brother's deputy, he is far more mature than the oldest, and more willing to become an faithful ruler one day should I ever perish, I trust Kur with my crown if I ever die. I know he would make a good king..."

he rumbles lightly, his tail shifting for a moment as he nodded "which is why I'm glad to be giving him the role of the Protectors, an strong force of guards designed to protect yours truly from the dangers the angels pose to us when war comes again after the truce and peace we had brokered with the angels has... broken apart as many of you know." an lot of mumur and small gossip went about, with Arzaxoth's low growls causing the talk to stop

"now. I know all of you are still shaken up from the recent incident, along with 90% of the world dying off due to an stupid mistake Ancalagon did, he has long since moved on from it as did I, even though you have all grown far more uneasy around my brother's deputy, I trust you will not feel the same with our new protector... and besides... the world is changing... and so must we!... and with that out of the way, Jeonsa, if you please"

He said as the humanoid demonic like creature nodded, lumbering on over to the four legged Knight dragon like demon with a odd mouth "for most, it is a gift, but for you. it is a huge responsibly. I sincerely hope you will not abuse it's power much like Alder did."

he said as Arzaxoth frowns at the mention of the other, Alder was one of the former members here of their city much like drac was, he was banished for abusing the powers of being an protector, and among other things along with being an guardian, and even used it against arzaxoth for reasons unknown, Reasons we'll get into shortly

He was banished with almost having his psychical form destroyed, though was spared the punishment by Kodai, who just simply banished the other even though Arzaxoth wanted him gone. After that small thought he looks back at the ritual, seeing Kur choosing his protector element, with Jeonsa explaining each one, before he nodded when the knight dragon like demon chose the green one, perhaps because it reminds him of the original article, Drago? Or something else. Either way Jeonsa nodded slightly “excellent choice my friend, the green element is a sign of courage, and bravery, it also has a excellent amount of power that I hope you use to the good of your heart.”

He said, with Kur rumbling softly as he takes the element, inserting it in his gem, as the red streaks and orange markings around him started to glow brightly, with purple sparks coming out of him before he started growing and changing slightly, his armor cracking and such.

He grows in size and shape, his armor melting and cracking off, revealing an armored purple spiky back, his horns became longer and sharper, and his arms and such grew longer, he reared up to a more hunched over upright like appearance much like how carnviores first looked like before they were believed to be not that, his own snout and fact shifting and morphing as it changed to more look like Arzaxoth’s face, with small spikes appearing underneath the chin, his tail went longer, with huge spikes forming on it, to make it seem like the tail was a spiky barbed club, his face solidified with green sparks coming out of it, snarling as his tongue became more fixed, his teeth getting sharper, on his face with more eyes showing up, eventually an large eye on the forehead showed up.

patches of black showing up on the head, making it look like he had a armored like brain and skull and such, with the armored underside of his body being a even lighter shade of purple and such, an huge chest spike like Arzaxoth’s appeared on over his own chest, his gem glowing brightly with energy, green markings showing up on the chest area, an green pupil appearing in the eyes, as Kur’s new form lets out a mighty roar into the air, large fiery purple like wings forming out of his back as the entire area shook with the roar “and there my people, is the new member of the protectors… Kur the knight. Or as we should better call it, The Overloaded Tyrant Dragon, Kur.” Jeonsa said, with the other roaring out again as he snorted, shaking his head as he looked himself over “is this.. permanent?”

He asked with Arzaxoth snorting “I believe so yes, is that a problem?” He asked, with the other shaking his head “no. No I don’t mind it” he said, humming lightly as steam came out of him “I think I could get used to this, heh… ancal and deb are gonna be jealous” he said, with Arzaxoth laughing “yes… yes they are gonna be very jealous, my friend.”

After the ceremony, and the celebration, the others were leaving as Arzaxoth was showing Kur around the more nicer parts of their 'town', with azzy and ‘Azix’ showing up before the walk kept going, with Arzaxoth informing him of the pros and cons of being an protector, "it is a great duty to be one my friend, i promise and understand that you will respect the rules and duties of being one?" he said, with kur rumbling softly as he nodded "yes.. i understand my friend... i shall respect and honor the rules"

he said, with the demon king smiling "thank you... now then! you can go on home now, the day is almost out, let us go on to our homes." he said, with the others about to go their own way as Arzaxoth walked on off back to his castle, before all of a sudden, Arzaxoth got bumped into by Ancalagon, the still recovering dragon demon perked up, before yelping as he falls back, trembling almost as he covered himself, bracing for the pain before he glanced over, and blinked rapidly, to everyone's shock and surprise, he held out an hand to him "you should really watch where you walk Ancal"

he said, sounding a bit concern to the others's confusion, but he was allowed to be helped up anyway, must to everyone's confusion and such as Kodai appeared in the sky, landing down as his wings retracted back into his back, running on over on all fours to the others as he called out to his deputy "Ancal! you've gotta stop running off like this it's unbecoming." he said, with the other nodding his head "sorrys...."

he said, with the other huffing "it's fine it's fine.. Arzaxoth did he bother you?" he said, with the other shaking his head "no young brother, he's alright." he said, with the other blinking in surprise "come again?" he said, with Arzaxoth humming lightly "you heard me, he's fine. now... if you'll excuse me."

he said, rumbling softly as he walks on off, rumbling softly "i have to go see someone." he said, with Kodai rumbling softly as he shakes his head "he's always been doing this..." he said, rumbling lightly as he gets his deputy back to his post, while the others looked at one another with a bit of confusion as they wondered where Arzaxoth was going now.

The Demon king kept on walking for as long as he could until going past his castle, rumbling as he went into the forest, near their hunting grounds, at this time of day nearing night, no one else comes here, at night it was his own hiding spot away from home, softly rumbling as he sighs deeply, his tail shifting lazily as he thinks to himself, with hearing some wings flapping as he smiled a bit.

walking on off towards an clearing and a landing area, seeing an large flying winged creature landing on down, she looked almost as big as Arzaxoth did, looking like a feathered wyvern, having beautiful yellow eyes, giant wings with yellowish feathers, sharp talons, a long tail, an halo floating above her head, and a beaked like mouth, the feathered wyvern looking creature glanced over, showing a lovely smile “hello there again, my love.” she said, with Arzaxoth smiling softly, waving as he walks on over to her, nuzzling her "hello there my queen...."

while god was ruler of heaven, this creature, called the blinding one, was the queen of heaven, she had other sisters too, one who was the princess of angels, called Juno, who was more or less an humanoid like angelic creature unlike her other sisters and siblings. there was another too, aka their oldest brother, The Monarch, one of the elite protectors of God herself, whom was a angel in completely heavy metal like armor, looking like a force of nature under god's will. and then there was their youngest sister, Jupiter, who was the protector of god.

She looked more like a angelic dragon than the other two, and while this Angel here, she was the eldest sister, called The Blinding one, she was the queen of the angels, and also Arzaxoth's mate, though no one else knew about it, since it was basically against the law in both the demon society and the Angel society for an demon and Angel to be together. the two nuzzled one another, with The Blinding one smiling softly "so how was today's ceremony?" she asked, with Arzaxoth rumbling softly as his tail shifts a bit “it was okay, an new protector in the form of one of my friends… I just hoped that he doesn’t abuse the power like Alder did.”

He said, with the blinding one humming softly as she gives a quick peck to his cheek “trust your heart and soul, and you’ll be okay.” She said, with Arzaxoth humming lightly “I guess so… thank you my love.” He said, nuzzling her slightly as he rumbles a bit “and how are things for you?” He said, with the other huffing “terrible…. As much as I need you right now, I came to deliver a message dear.” She said, with Arzaxoth huffing “could the message wait?”

He said, his tail lightly bumping against her as she coos a bit, shaking her head “sadly it cannot, it’s from God my love… about what Alder did... she wants to finally speak about it with you.” She said, the demon king blinking before sighing as he rubs his forehead “of course she does…. Maybe when I’m done we could have you relieve what stress you have” he said, with The blinding one nodding “yeah… just, follow me okay love?” She said, with the other nodding as she flew off towards the meeting point, with the demon king following after her as he grumbles softly, he was gonna regret this he’s sure of it.

----

Arzaxoth rumbles lightly as he was with God, face to face, after being escorted to their meeting point by the blinding one, he nods his head at the other angelic creature that was basically the ruler of heaven. "Greetings Virgin Mary." he said, with the other grumbling lightly as she shakes her head, god looked like a mix between an cosmic deity and a angel, though far more older and wiser than them, having pure white eyes, grey hair, the stature of an odd being, the robes of an Angel but more fancy and such, to show that she was higher than the others, she was basically God, queen and Ruler of Angels, while Arzaxoth was the King of the demons, and not of a land... at least not yet anyway. "hello Arzaxoth... how are you?"

she asked, with Arzaxoth rumbling lightly "oh a few billion years have passed... and these creatures called dinosaurs are now roaming about... along with the hybrids, well" he shrugs slightly, the demon king rumbling a tiny bit as the Blinding one stayed next to him, flapping her wings a bit "it's been alright... how are you, virgin Mary."

he said, with the other grunting "i wished you'd of stop calling me that, we aren't kids anymore." she said, with Arzaxoth rumbling softly with a snort "course. if you'll stop trying to get me to give up my crown, sure. you cannot rule over both your own kind and the demons... there has to be some kind of balance. and i am the result of that." he said, snorting quietly as she crossed her arms "Alder killed one of my own." she said, with Arzaxoth grunting "and i made sure he punished for it." he said, staring blankly

"you nearly killed him." she said, with the demon king snorting as he shakes his head at her "don't give me that look alder, he was one of your protectors."

"a price to pay. i had read the prophecy all wrong. and he abused his role for far too long. and then. this war begun. so. what? you want to fight? now? during the middle of our current affairs?" he asked, with her shaking her head, the demon king raising one of his eyebrows

"well, if you are not here to cause another fight to further make the war more drastic virgin mary, then why are you here?" he said, with the other sighing lightly as she rubs her forehead, rumbling quietly "i came here because.... i want...." she looks at the blinding one, who nodded her forehead as she grumbled lightly, staring at Arzaxoth "i want... to have a truce" she said, with the demon king blinking slightly, and snorting softly "that has got to be one of your better jokes yet....after what you said to me?" he said, rumbling lightly as she shakes her head "it's not a joke." she said, with Arzaxoth snorting "please. why would you want to have a truce Virgin Mary?" he said, with the other grunting "because.. this small war of ours is getting too out of control... and im tired of it... i know you are too..."

she said, with the demon king rumbling lightly as he thinks to himself, looking at his angel, the blinding one, who nodded her head, with Arzaxoth sighing softly and glancing on back to her "i... suppose i have also been quite tired of this war going on as well... what do you suggest." he said, with the other sighing and explaining the whole thing, the angels do not bother the demons from the ground, and the demons do not bother them from the sky, and to ensure an balance, they would deal with the mortals and hybrids's lives, if they were good, they'd be handed over to the angels, if they were bad, they'd be handed to the demons, if they were neither, they'd be banished from both lands and stripped of their powers with Arzaxoth rumbling lightly as he nodded once in a while, before sighing as the terms of the deal were made "...as... as long as you'll quit stealing my crown... sure... i'll accept your truth" he said, with the other nodding her head "i agree.." she said, with the two shaking their hands, the Blinding one smiling softly as she sighed in relief, all of them unaware that two entities were watching the whole ordeal going on down, their eyes glowing darkly as they hid in the shadows

After that meeting, and the session he and the blinding one did. some time has passed, at this point it was the early cretaceous period now.

and Arzaxoth was thinking to himself, steam coming out of him as he thought about something. He was getting soft. He knows this, huffing lightly as the king of demons rubs his forehead, after that incident with Ancalagon that caused the Permian extinction, and his daily meeting with the angelic creature called the blinding one, and then this incident, he has changed, the others probably knew it, but doesnt question it to the other in fear of their own life, though he doesn’t show it, he knows he’s slowly getting more and more soft, His protector doesn’t mind it, before he was crowned king after defeating and sealing away the demon called RED.

at that time, Arzaxoth himself was much more feral and monstrous as he grew, somewhat of a local troublemaker, but when he was defeated and spared by jeonsa after having enough of his rebellious act, he changed his own ways and became who he is now, the old demon rumbling lightly as his tail shifts, steam coming out of him. as he takes a moment to himself, rumbling softly as he shakes his head, before blinking as he realizes something...

everything was quiet. none of his minions were around, nor his warriors, nor his former lover Beastrex, who had since become one of his greatest protectors and guardians, this was something new... before he froze upon hearing a bunch of noises.. near the Arena, rumbling lightly as he keeps moving and moving.

until seeing what was making the others make all that noise, his two warriors, Nomad and Faded, were calling out for Arzaxoth, the demon king rumbled darkly as he looks at his two headed friend, who shrugged slightly, he sighed and grumbled before roaring loudly as the two froze "what is the meaning of this Faded and Nomad!" he shouted at them, the other two gulping a tiny bit before they growled "we want you to come down there Arzaxoth! and give us the crown!" they both said, with Arzaxoth suddenly twitching, and hissing "...Veno. get the prison ready."

he said, with the other nodding as he went off, with Arzaxoth growling darkly as he jumps on down, the ground cracking and such when he lands right on the ground, cracks and such forming on the ground as the two other demons backed up, rethinking their plans as the demon king growled, taking another step as his tail swayed and rattled

"not so brave now are you?" Arzaxoth said, growling lightly "now. why do you want my crown you two... please... tell me. NOW. AND MAYBE I'LL CONSIDER NOT SENDING YOU TO THE PRISON." he said, growling lightly as the other two backed up "because you are getting soft Arzaxoth! we are demons! we aren't supposed to be nice and soft! we saw that truce you made with God! The war was going in our favor! why! why would you do this to all of us?!"

they both said, with Arzaxoth growling "because i can't afford to have another war or have this one continue! Our kind has suffered enough because of what alder did!!!! this truce could be the end of this long and dangerous war!” He said, with faded hissing “oh! of fucking course!" he said, stomping his foot down "bet you listened to that blinding one didn't ya?!" at this point, most of the others began to watch, along with the other protectors of arzaxoth, with Beastrex snarling slightly as she was held back from going in by the others "BET SHE MANIUPLATED YOU REAL GOOD DIDN'T SHE? ANGELS ARE ALWAYS LIKE THAT! GETTING UNDER OUR SKIN, TELLING US WHAT THEY WANT! AND YOU FELL FOR IT! YOUR HER BITCH!"

he said, with Arzaxoth backing up, and steaming as the others all made gasps and such, the king growling with Faded hissing "Not like that whor—“ before he can even finish that statement, Arzaxoth suddenly appears in front of him and bashed him down to the ground with a heavy thud, Faded shrieking in pain as Nomad yelps and backs up “don’t you ever call her that.” He said quietly to faded, stomping his foot on down as faded shrieks, blood coming out of him as nomad attempted to stop the king, before getting whacked by Arzaxoth’s tail, a few cracks appearing in the skull, as he clamps his jaws on faded’s body, shaking him before tossing him aside, the other being thrown against nomad, the armor on him completely broken and cracked

“you two. Quit now. And I may just change your sentence from until death to around your unable to fight. Think this through! You both cannot control the power my abilities possess!” He said, with the two demons getting up “again.. think this through…. You don’t want to do this. do not make the same mistakes alder did. please...”

He said, with the two other demons roaring and instantly rushing right at him, he growled, and roared loudly, as he slammed the two away with his four arms, the punches causing the two to be thrown to the ground, Arzaxoth roared and rushed right at them, bashing the two away from one another and focusing on one at a time, with the first being Nomad. The demon king broke apart his armor with a bunch of body slams, and slashes and bites, even slamming him repeatedly with his tail, before completely blowing apart the armor with a blast of energy, when he was seemly out for the count, he turned his attention to Faded.

Faded would Yelp and shriek as Arzaxoth slams him down repeatedly onto the ground, punching him more times than he can remember, slashing and clawing onto him as he roars loudly, bashing him down again and again with his tail, firing out an ray from it as it blasted and shot away faded, the demon clamped onto the wall, steaming and smoking as it roars loudly as it rushed right at him, snarling and roaring as Arzaxoth waited, and waited, growling and hissing before he slams him down with all fours of his hands, the ground cracking and shaking as Faded yowls in pain.

with Arzaxoth growling and hissing as he stares down at him, like nomad, the armor was completely destroyed, but he goes a step forward, unhinging his mouth, everyone watches as he fires out a huge blast of energy onto faded, the other shrieking and roaring loudly in pain as the entire body was destroyed, burning and cracking as an explosion erupted, when the smoke cleared all that remained of faded was an glitching transparent form, with eyes that were broken and had tears of blood foaming from it, the body completely lacking legs with the arms bent out. Shape, and completely charred, he destroyed faded’s psychical form. He tosses the glitching body near to nomad, who stared in shock “you…. YOU DESTROYED HIS PSYCHICAL BODY! HOW DARE YOU!”

He said, with Arzaxoth growling darkly “and I will do the same to you. Give up now.” He said, steaming as he was pissed, no longer being the kind and merciful being he was some decades ago when kur became a protector, he was something else… he was more angry, Nomad attempts to get up, before shrieking as his armor gets blown apart and destroyed by one of Arzaxoth’s abilities, an huge sonic boom like roar with red rings coming out of it, the roar making Nomad fall back down with a thud, coughing and hissing as Arzaxoth growled darkly, steaming and twitching as he roars loudly, another one of his crown's abilities, forcing the other to bow down to him.

”you didn’t think this part through did you? Traitors.” He said, grunting as he scoffed, kicking faded roughly as the mangled demon that was now a corpse with a spirit stuck inside landed near Nomad. “pathetic you two are. Cant even stand up to me.” He said, with the other coughing as he growled, pulling out something out of a small hole in his body as Arzaxoth glanced over, raising his eyebrows “what’s this little trick your pulling now?”

He said, with the other hissing “you know fully well what this is Arzaxoth.” He said, with the demon king suddenly hissing and huffing as his eyes widened “you……Where did you get get that…?!” He demanded, with Nomad hissing “from an friend that also dislikes your way of ruling.” He said, with Arzaxoth growling, looking worried now “nomad… put that away… now… you cant control the power it possesses… you cant”

he said, knowing full well that that gem is, it was the same one that was found on the outsider's head, the gem of Alrun. the very gem of the outsider that killed his parents long ago, memories began surfacing through his mind, the tale was as old as time, the first two demons, the god and goddess of them, protected their home from an outsider coming from the stars, an long and drastic battle eventually caused the rest of demonkind to be born, and the angelkind to be born from their life energy and essences. the only thing that remained of Alrun was his gem. something that he kept locked up to ensure that the outsider would never escape again!

as he pleaded with nomad to put it down, with the other hissing and grinning “I’ll take my chances.” He said and jabs it straight into the chest, the gem glows brightly, and Faded’s eyes opened as he instantly went into the gem, the two demons fusing into one, Arzaxoth takes a step back with a snarl as this happens, the body and such growing and elongating, horns and such getting longer, eyes glowing brightly, body shifting and turning, bursts of energy coming out of it, wings growing flesh instead of bone, arms forming into one pair of long arms.

The fusion like demon roars loudly as it was nearly around the same height as Arzaxoth was now. Instantly rushing and tackling the other as they began round 2 of their fight, with Arzaxoth instantly attempting to ripping out the gem as he gets whacked and clawed into, for once someone else was doing damage to the king of demons. someone that was actually able to inflict pain onto the other, he rams his tail straight through the body as it roars loudly in pain, Arzaxoth slamming the other away as he roared loudly, firing out blasts of energy as three blasts were able to destroy the wings. The other falling down before it gets whacked by the tail, slamming it straight into the wall of the arena, Arzaxoth growled and roared loudly as he slams his hands down "YOU IDIOTIC FOOL! YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS! THAT GEM IS NOT MEANT TO BE TOUCHED BY ANYONE!!"

he said, before rushing over as the fusion of faded and Nomad gets up, roaring loudly as it flies straight towards the king, mauling him as the two rolled around, clawing into one another. as the others watched, with Beastrex getting more and more angry as she was being held back by Jeonsa, who strictly told her not to jump in, as this was an battle for the crown, and anyone who jumped in during that, would be punished severely, even the protectors of the demon king, and so she held back her instincts to protect him, grumbling

Arzaxoth wasn't one for long fights, he was getting pissed off the longer these two stayed fused, that gem! that stinking gem! it was not to be touched or used!!! how did they even get their hands on it?! he roars in anger as he was getting wounded, hurt. for once in his life he was actually getting completely hurt, and he hates it! nobody has ever managed to deliver a blow to him! This is not going to go Unpunished.

he roars loudly as he uses all four of his arms to slam into the fusion, making it go flying and crashing straight into the wall, he growled and hissed, his spines glowing brightly as he roared, firing out a huge beam of energy, the Fusion hissed and grunted before it's eyes widened as it gets blasted by the beam, Arzaxoth still firing it, attempting to destroy the whole body along with the gem, his eyes widened as he felt some trouble with it, like somehow. they were pushing it back, and they were!

the fusion was walking through the beam, despite it scorching their every being, they kept pushing onwards, growling and hissing. The Demon King's Brothers all stared with wide eyes as the fusion was holding their own, but Arzaxoth was not done yet, he started roaring into his ray, causing more and more power input to be added into it, Arzaxoth was not going to lose to... to this! he was the king of them all! he.... wasn't... gonna.... LOSE!

his King's aura came into play, his markings and spines glowing an bright violent red, the ray turning from green, to the same violent red as the markings, his three pairs of eyes glowing an maroon like red color, roaring louder and louder, the fusion's eyes widened before they were engulfed in the beam, an massive explosion running out as the spectators covered their eyes, while the king's protectors and siblings ducked and covered as when the smoke cleared, Arzaxoth panted lightly, growling softly as he squinted his eyes at the big cloud of smoke and dust, before the fusion weakly staggered out, having trouble keeping themselves stable now as the king's eyes widened, his markings glowing a bright red again as he rushed on over, and just, went to town on them.

clawing, punching, ripping and tearing, biting, blasting, stomping, trampling you name it, going completely apeshit on the fusion, Ancalagon watched with narrowed but surprised eyes. Arzaxoth rips out the gem completely and slams the unstable fusion down, watching it fall apart as Nomad was the only one left there, trembling and twitching slightly

Eventually, after a few minutes of silent, Nomad coughs out weakly as he attempts to get on up, his core cracking as he hissed lightly, before being stomped down roughly with a thud, Arzaxoth holding the gem in his hand, growling as the other stared with wide eyes, his skin partly melted off, revealing his skull, his wings were now just bones too,his hands were also bones too, pretty much he lost half his skin, his eyes trembled before he shrieked as Arzaxoth gouged out the eyeballs, throwing them away, allowing Nomad with cover his now bloodied sockets, thrashing around on the floor with a loud shriek as the Demon King growled, looking at the gem as Faded's spirit thrashed around repeatedly in there, trying to get out, with the demon growling before his arm glows, slamming into the gem, and pulling out Faded, distorting his entire body as the demon lets out an yowl and shriek of pain

he tosses Faded to the ground, as the other was barely clinging to life, his eyes looked like they were constantly streaming tears, becoming thin and malnourished, with only their arms and head remaining, as their legs were gone, twitching, Arzaxoth stared, before letting out a violent roar into the air, holding up the gem "wHO ELSE?!"

he yelled out, as everyone was unnerved, and spooked, Arzaxoth growled, steaming slightly "WHO ELSE WANTS TO BEST ME?! WHO ELSE WANTS TO TRY TO CLAIM MY CROWN?!" he yelled out to anyone dumb enough to challenge him after that. Ancalagon attempted to climb over the railing to jump down, but Kodai grabbed his shoulder, the kinda 'rainbow' colored demon glancing over as the alpha of demons shook his head at his deputy, with the Dragon Demon frowning lightly as he leaned back against his seat. Arzaxoth roaring out loudly "TO ANYONE STUPID ENOUGH TO TRY AND CHALLENGE ME! LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED TO THESE TWO! FADED. NOW AN HUSK OF HIMSELF DUE TO THIS GEM! HIS BODY NO LONGER OF THIS WORLD! AND NOMAD! EYELESS, SKINLESS! AND BROKEN! THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS TO THOSE WHO TRY TO CHALLENGE ME! LET THAT GET THROUGH YOUR THICK SKULLS! THERE IS ONLY ONE DEMON TO BE THE KING OF YOU ALL. AND IT IS ME!!!! NO ONE ELSE!!"

he roared loudly as the other demons all shouted and cheered, mainly out of fear. with his brothers and protectors being the only ones not doing anything just watching as Zeto blinks slightly, watching how assertive his older brother was being. the demon king twitched his head slightly, staring down at Nomad and Faded "FOR YOUR CRIMES AGAINST ME. AND STEALING AN GEMSTONE THAT YOU KNOW IS CORRUPTED IN EVERY SENSE. I HEREBY BANISH YOU TWO OUT OF OUR KINGDOM, AND REMAIN IN A CELL FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIVES....!" he shouted, before he huffed, and fired out a hole into the arena, dropping the cracked gemstone into it, before his tail slammed down, the dirt returning as he snarled "take them away."

he said, as some of his guards came and grabbed onto the two dragging faded and nomad off as the other shrieked weakly and roared out, declaring his revenge, all while the demon king blankly watched, frowning before he sprouted out wings, and flew off, he needed a break.

---

More decades and eventually eons upon eons of years have passed since the banishment and arrest of Faded and Nomad. it was during the near end of the dinosaurs, 65 million years ago. when things began to look up but that was just the start of the end, the war was beginning to dwindle on down, and it seemed as if there would be no need for the war to continue, with the Demon King relaxing on his throne in his own castle, soon that truce would be activated when both he and 'god' would come around to speak about it to the rest of their kind, the demons, angels, and even the hybrids.

but so far, things have been quiet, only one of his protectors was with him today, Beastrex, the others have been busy doing their own things or patrolling, though they kept telling him that they all sensed that something bad was coming, and he wouldn't lie, he too had sensed it too but, kept his composure. though on this certain day, that composure would begin to break, and it would only get worst from there.

he glances at Beastrex, one of his former Mates. now turned to his Protector, soon to be upgraded to be one of his Guardians just like Kur was, at least. when the time comes anyways for the announcement as for why the two went from mates to simply close friends still remains an mystery but she was still as loyal as ever, but not as loyal as his second ever Guardian.

Arzaxoth sighed, rumbling softly as he rested with her, thinking back to more simplier times and memories, back when he first claimed the crown as the demon king from the original one, how the previous king was more of an tyrant than he was, having stolen his family's powers, but in the end. he claimed what was rightfully his, and brought about an new era. he gently nuzzled Beastrex, who was on guard but, nuzzled back as the demon king began to sleep, as she continued to be on watch.

He continues to sleep, before he was granted visions, seeing the future, seeing an bunch of... wood? hearing odd noises, clanks, shrieks, screams, the flow of what he assumed to be water, but everything was in darkness, until he sees a mirror, and only sees an face covered in an dark blood like color, almost as black as his eyes, with only seeing an unmoving grin, and then bodies, and an bright light, and the same thing, over and over again.

each time, the entity was more revealed, wearing something around it's neck, and hands, as malnouished as an skeleton and yet, with an power unlike anything ever before seen, with that grin widening more and more, and then. the dream was over.

it all started out with an call, as Arzaxoth woke up from his nap, confused by the dream he just saw, but more curious on who could be calling out to him at this hour.

as he sees Beastrex growling and roaring at whatever was entering, before he noticed that it was Otmitius, his mark glowed brightly, he was one of his guardians, the second one actually as he instantly huffed at his protector "at ease." he told her, as the other stood down as the grey colored demon with red eyes walked towards him, bowing down "my liege." the king snorted, motioning him to rise up "what is it this time otmitius?" he asks as his protector stood up

"i have found something that would be of upmost importance to you my sir, remember the tale jeonsa told everyone about, about the outsider and the first and second of our race?" he asks, with Arzaxoth rumbling and raising an eyebrow "yes i am aware, what does this have to do with current ongoings?" he asked, as Otmitus showed him something that made his blood run cold, another Gem, in the same shape as Alrun's, but an different color "i believe there may have been an second adversary that our ancestors had faced before the outsider's arrival. i have found this gem while scouting out the outer territories, and i felt.. compelled to take it, to show you my lord."

Arzaxoth stared in shock, staring at the odd gem, it was orange in color, he stared further, grunting as an old memory resurfaced in his head. he gets on up, going over to Otmitius, staring "where.... where did you get this? and what gave you the assumption that there was someone else that the god and goddess of our kind had fought against?" he asks, as Beastrex glanced over, with Otmitius's eyes glowing "i found it near the remnants of the battlesight of where it's foretold the outsider and our creators fought in. but this gem looked even more older than the outsider's."

he started, chittering a bit "i believe that there was something that happened that caused whoever was the original holder of this gem, to have fought against our god and goddess, but. failed, and thus, the outsider came into the picture..." the demon paused for a moment, clicking as it stared at the gem that glowed brightly, before looking back "my lord, what does this mean? we have never heard of another outsider of our home before. was there, someone the historians misplaced?"

Arzaxoth was too caught up in old memories to properly reply to him, clutching his head, as Beastrex instantly went over and nudged him, with the other snapping out of his trance, glancing at the gem again, staring "i.... i do not know.... i may have been around just like Jeonsa was when our creators were around but... i..." he didn't know how to respond, thinking.

he recalled maybe sensing something in his youth but, it was so long ago that he had blocked out the memory, before he could get an proper response to his subject. suddenly, his horns twitched, they all felt it, the sudden rumbling of something hitting the ground.

and then another, and another, soon it felt like the ground was shaking, quickly without any time to spare they rushed out of the huge temple, with Arzaxoth and beastrex and otmitus arriving at an high vantage point, noticing the sudden destruction, huge burning rocks slamming down against the earth, the skies darkened and black, volcanos erupting, earthquakes happening, tremors being felt all around. just like back in the permian period....

instantly, the blinding one flew on down, quickly, panting as if she was out of breath, with Arzaxoth barking out "what's happening?!" he asks as the blinding one flapped her wings "i do not know! it just happened! the skies began dark! the rest of our kind are trying our best to save the lives, along with your kind, my love what is happening?!" she asked, with Arzaxoth staring, shocked at how the world was becoming, it was falling apart.

"Beastrex, you and me will gather the others and head for higher ground, protect the young ones! my queen, you will continue to do what you are doing! Otmitus! get everyone from the cells out of here!" he said, as Otmitus chirped "my liege, i already did." he paused, along with the other two, as Arzaxoth glanced over "explain." he demanded, as his protector held up the gem "it told me to trap them all in here my lord, all the ones that were on their way to be banished to the outside, the ones in the cell, the traitors, faded and nomad, they are in here my lord."

there was sudden silence, the only sounds being the destruction of the world around them... he... he trapped them? all of the ones on trial to be banished or to be slain? Arzaxoth couldn't believe it, but, he felt it, the souls of his own kind screaming in there, along with the two traitors, he was shocked, staring at the gem, as his claws twitched "Otmitus.... w...why...." the demon was confused, he thought his lord would be happy to know that they'd have less bodies to deal with "because my lord, i thought it would be easier." Arzaxoth instantly roared at his face "YOU TRAPPED THEM FOREVER IN AN GEM SIMILAR TO THE OUTSIDER'S!"

Instantly Otmitius backed away as the gem was dropped, instantly cowering "m-my lord! w-wait! i was- i was only-" he yelps as Beastrex roared, stopping him from leaving as The demon king growled "GIVE ME. ONE GOOD REASON. WHY I SHOULDN'T PUNISH YOU!" he demanded, as Otmitus pleaded with him "m-my king! i was only doing what i thought was right! they were all going to die anyways! it told me to do it! it told me it would please you my king!"

he said, as Arzaxoth had steam and smoke coming out of his body, groaning and huffing as the Blinding one stared at the orange gem, and her eyes went wide, glowing brightly "t-this.... this gem... THIS IS SOMETHING HE SHOULDN'T HAVE FOUND!" she shouted, her voice echoing as Arzaxoth instantly whacked Otmitus to the ground "WHAT IS IN THIS GEM?! WHAT TOLD YOU TO COMMIT THESE SINS!?" he demanded, as Otmitus tried to get away, before Beastrex slammed her hands on his tail, growling at him as Arzaxoth dragged him back, glaring at him as the other whimpered "i-i don't kn-" he flinched as Arzaxoth roared into his face "TELL ME!!!!!"

The Blinding One Answered for him "IT WAS LIKE THOSE CORES! IT WAS SOMETHING MOTHER WARNED US ABOUT, THIS GEM CONTAINED AN ENTITY POWERFUL ENOUGH TO DESTROY OUR HOMES! THE CORES USED IT TO HIDE ON EARTH AWAY FROM THEIR CREATOR! THE ENTITY IS POWERFUL ENOUGH TO CHALLENGE YOU FOR YOUR CROWN!"

That enough was reason to make him assume that otmitus was planning to betray him, slowly, his eyes went red, glaring "you dare... YOU DARE...?" Otmitius whines, his horns drooping "M-MY LORD! W-WAIT! N-NO! I WOULD NEVER, T-THE ANGEL! SHE IS LYING! SHE IS GETTING UNDER YOUR SKIN AGAIN MY LORD PLE-" he gets whacked to the ground, and grabbed by the neck "P-PLEASE! I WOULD NEVER BETRAY YOU! I-IT TOLD ME TO DO IT!" Arzaxoth roared loudly "ALDER BETRAYED ME! DRAC BETRAYED US, FADED AND NOMAD! BETRAYED US! AN WAR HAPPENED BECAUSE OF ALDER! I THOUGHT OUT OF EVERYONE ELSE, THAT YOU WOULDN'T BE THE ONE TO USE THIS KIND OF POWER! POWER LIKE THE OUTSIDER'S GEM!"

Otmitus was gasping for air as Arzaxoth slammed him down "you lost yourself! in your blind loyalty! you trapped these souls inside that gemstone! to further increase that entity'S POWER! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!" he shouted, as Beastrex barked at Otmitius, snarling and bearing her fangs as her tail rattled, with the demon coughing "i-i was only... trying to.... make sure... they'd never get out!" he wheezed out air as Arzaxoth continued to strangle him, before he looks at the gem, his eyes glowing as did his arms, he reached his free arm, grabbing the gem, before he barks at Beastrex as he slams him down again "hold him."

the other instantly grabbed an hold of Otmitius, who struggled to free himself, yelping as she kept an tight grip on it, digging her claws and teeth into him, an grin on her face as Otmitius yelps "m-my lord! p-please! d-don't do this!" he shouted as Arzaxoth picks up the gem, his tail whacking into his face as blood spewed out from the now former guardian's mouth as he tried to beg for his life "the angel is lying! i would never use the gem's powers to overthrow you!" the blinding one flapped her wings "it's gotten too deep into his head! the entity is trying to make him say what you want to hear! do not trust him! it's already tainted him if it's claimed the souls of the banished!" she said her expression filled with concern "w-what are you gonna do with that gem?"

The Demon King glanced at her "if he wanted to be their warden so bad... then now... he has all the time in the world to be that..." he gripped on the gem, as Otmitius's eyes widened "N-NO! NO! MY LORD! DON'T DO IT! PLEASE! I AM ONE OF YOU! THE ANGEL IS LYING! I WOULD NEVER BETRAY YOU! PLEASE! LET ME GO! I'LL THROW THE GEM INTO THE SEA! LET IT BE WASHED BY THE METEORITES IT'S SUMMONED!"

Arazxaoth instantly slams his other arm into otmitius's chest, causing blood to spew out "YOU MEAN IT CAUSED THIS DESTRUCTION?!" he roared in anger at Otmitius coughs out and yowled in pain as Beastrex kept an tight hold, though was shocked to hear it, with the Blinding one's eyes widened "i-it t-told me.. it was.. t....the only way.. t..to save our kind... from the angels.... from the outsider...." Arzaxoth tears out his arm, an hole was in otmitius's chest now, blood oozing out of him as the other coughs "it gave me the... strength.. to go beyond... and i just... gave the... flying rock... an push in the right d...di...direction... i-im s...s...sorry..."

Otmitius pleaded, with Arzaxoth growling "i will not see this world fall into destruction AGAIN!..... you are hearby banished.." he growled as he tore out his organs as they fell out of his chest, making the hole more opened, the demon shrieking out in pain "AND YOU ARE NO LONGER. MY GUARDIAN FOR THIS SIN!.."

he growled, his markings glowing as he grips on the gem, staring at Otmitius who was bleeding out and still pleading for his life, whimpering as the king snarled out "as for your punishment?" Beastrex kept her hold on him, watching as her king's markings and scars glowed an bright red "TO BE TRAPPED FOREVER WITH THEM!" he slams the gem directly into the hold, as red markings pulsated throughout otmitius's body as he shrieks and roars, with Beastrex instantly letting go, the former protector shrieking and roaring as he tried to rip out the gem. before shrieking as Arzaxoth tore out his marking that made otmitius's an Guardian

feeling more of his energy and purpose slip away, the demon shrieked and coughed in pain, as it reached out in vain to take it's mark back as Arzaxoth stepped back, the demon roaring at the angel "YOU! YOU DID THIS! I WILL GET BACK AT YOU! YOU TAINTED MY LORD'S NAME! YOU TAINTED HIM! YOU TAINTED ALL OF THEM! IN THE END YOU'LL ALL SEE!" he felt his body shrinking, distorting, weakening as he roared as more of the red veins engulfed him, as if he was being forced inside the gem as his body distorts as cracks appeared "THE ANGELS WILL CREATE AN REALM ABOVE THE CLOUDS! AND OUR KIND WILL CREATE AN REALM BETWEEN THE EARTH! AND THE HYBRIDS WILL CREATE THEIR OWN REALM IN THE SEAS!" it shrieks as it's body continues to fall apart and be absorbed into the gem "YOU ALL WILL SEE THAT I WAS FOLLOWING ORDERS IN OUR KING'S NAME!"

Otmitius shrieks as his jaw gets dislocated by Arzaxoth's fist, as he gurgles and groans "pP-PlEaSE... mY kIng!... sA-" until finally, he was fully trapped within the gem, another soul embedded into this cursed thing, that was possibly more stronger than Alrun's Gem, gripping onto the gem afterwards, Arzaxoth growled, as he handed the gem to the Blinding one "take it, hide it where none will find it. and tell me more about these cores. AFTER we save everyone" he said, with the blinding one nodding as the king turns to look at Beastrex "we will get everyone out of here to the safer areas, this destruction has become too much, all we can do is protect what we can, follow me." he said, with beastrex nodding

The Blinding one whined a bit "My Love...?" he turns to look at her "be careful. to the both of you. i fear this destruction is far more dangerous than anything we have ever faced." the demon king nodded, rumbling softly "im always careful.... now, let us go. we will talk later"

after saying that, the two nodded and went their own ways, as the two begin to run off to save their kind, The Blinding one flies off, with the orange gem in her talons, to hide it where no one else would find it. as the rest of the world begins to fall apart, the demons and hybrids began to save who they can, the war with the angels being put on hold for the time being as they all worked together to save what they can as the land begins to break and fall apart.

in the arena, an hole opens up, containing the gem of Alrun, as an unknown figure grabs it, and runs off while cloaked in the ashes and shadows as more of the world began to fall into an dark era of death and destruction as meanwhile, in the outer realms, something old and familiar begins to awaken as it sensed destruction on it's own creations, with it's lack of eyes opening, it slowly looks over in the direction of earth, seeing the planet beginning to be destroyed, before it growled, and slowly held up an hand, as an blinding light erupted......

Chapter Text

Arzaxoth groans quietly as his eyes opened up on slowly, hissing softly as he was weak and exhausted, having- a... massive... headache... ugh.... what the hell happened...? wait.... where was he?

what's... what's going on.... what's...

where was he?

where was his kingdom? why is everything so dark? where are his subjects? his protectors? his....his family...?

His family. where are they?

what... what's going on here...?

what... what's going on...? what happened? WHAT HAPPENED?! WHERE WAS HIS FAMILY?! WHERE IS EVERYONE?!

"zETO?! HABIT?! SENSHI?! KODAI! BROTHERRS??? SISTERS?! PROTECTORS?!" he shouted out, looking around with wide eyes, but he looked at his hands, and remembered.

The war.

the battle.

him fusing with his brother

Becoming... this thing.

he hissed lightly, frowning a tiny bit, what... what was going on... why can't he... he move?

a bright light flashed into his eyes, and he felt change coming.

and suddenly he awoke to a new world, hissing in surprise as he looks around, his eyes wide, before feeling different, he noticed he was in a forest of some kind, hissing softly as he stared at his reflection in the pond, and froze.

he looked nothing like his original form did, nor the fusion form.

it seemed that whatever happened, caused him to change appearance... or.. reincarnate in some form? but. this wasn't like with drago. where he split his gem and body into four halves... where they didn't have any memory of their previous life as one entity.. this was something else entirely.

he seemed smaller... and yet just as powerful as before, perhaps even more. he had wings, and was on all fours, two tails instead of one, and bone white horns, he felt his eyes were more bigger than before, and he soon noticed one, he only had one pair instead of three, and he saw color in them for the first time, white, and red, with black silts, his skin was a darkish grey black, with a light silver underside, was he... a dragon?

that was the most he could come up with, dragons were what his subjects called the flying reptiles, but this seemed a lot more bigger than any dragon he's ever saw. rumbling lightly as his horns twitched a tiny bit, looking around, this place seemed more lush than before, and yet. so very different, where was his temple? his home? his kingdom? he hoped he'd still remember how to fly. and he does, flapping his wings into the air he looks around and sees that this was a whole new world, and it was. beautiful... very beautiful.

he didn't know how long he spend soaring through the skies, exploring all he can before he found out how much of a danger these dragons supposedly posed. the titans were still alive! but they were smaller than before, a lot smaller than he remembered, and they all had different attire on, some even had shiny metal stuff on, and rode on horses, they were coming for him? challenging him?? that will not do, he'll put them in their place. just like he did to everyone.

it was then that he realized just how powerful he really was against things that couldn't fight back, he saw their burned corpses when he was finished with his imitation breath. he was surprised, and shocked. titans were supposed to be durable, and strong. why were they so... so weak...? so fragile?? so.... so small?

he flew away when he saw more, not because he couldn't kill them he would easily do it, but because he was confused, and he couldn't do it. it was then that he realized that this was a vastly different world than to his own. and he made a reputation because of it, from village to village he tried to defend himself, or try to explain that he wasn't an enemy, but the 'titans' there didn't seem to care, or were too afraid, or they didn't understand him. he figured it was all the options.

Eventually he decided to just live alone, going high up to the mountains, where no-one would bother him, but it seems he was too noticable. as there would be challengers that tried to claim his skull, his crown. and he would take care of them. the more he killed, the more showed up, he was getting conflincted, he needed to show that he meant no harm but... it seemed with that first attempt it was futile.

the other dragons seemed to be like him but more different, they were afraid of him. which should be a good thing, but it wasn't. they were all afraid of him, because he was different, eventually he decided to abuse his reputation, and started decodaring his cave with golds, treasures, all that stuff. his reputation grew more and more. before eventually he rarely had any challengers come up to him, the titans were getting better now, but they were still so small so fragile, so weak... it was sad really.

he was happy for the peace and quiet, but eventually he grew rather lonely, he wanted to have a companion, a friend of his own, but he couldn't have that.

though that did change. he was flying around one day and found a female caught in a fight with another dragon, one that seemed to be more bold than before, the mate was dead and it seems she was protecting a nest of sorts, feeling his good nature returning to him once again, he lets out a massive roar and dived in, ramming right into the attacking male, making him go flying and even breaking a few bones, and tore a hole into his wing, beaten up and handicapped, the dragon limped away, and the female was saved.

due to Arzaxoth's effects on females as a whole, she was instantly attracted to him, well. it seems his way with the ladies remained. but it was... nice. he actually got to have a family, one to call his own, despite how deeply he missed his lovely Angel, this one seemed to be just as angelic as her. personality wise anyways. he had moved the nest up to his own lair in the mountains, having someone else there to keep him company was helpful for him. and it did, they had fun together, and it was then that he learned her name, Jinshi, as he himself, gave the female dragon his own name, aka Arzaxoth as you all know by now.

and she said that it was a lovely name. and it got him pausing slightly... an lovely name, His former mate long ago said that. the blinding one.... he rumbles softly, looking down for a moment, before eventually. the two got together fully.

They were a lovely couple, and while arzaxoth was glad that he found a being that wasn't afraid of him, he still longed for a friend, someone that truly understood him.

one day though, everything changed. where he got his wish finally.

He was sleeping as usual, when he heard some kind of commotion, lazily opening his eyes as he slowly walked out, he started to grow some kind of spiky beard and such, rumbling quietly as faint scars looking like his gills were seen on his neck, huffing as he stared at what was going on, a lone man, was fighting against a group of bandits and such, they must have been there for a while, but the man kept fighting on, it's eyes narrowed abit, watching the way the titan fights, by now he knew these were remnants of the titans, from one of his attempts to communicate with the odd beings, he found out that they were called man. or monkey.

or something he didn't know. but something about the way this man fights... it made him curious, the more he watched, the more impressed he was. the man was honorable, strong, calm, collected. he would of been an excellent protector, or even guardian. something about him made the king of all demons stare, the more he fought. the more excited and almost eager he himself was to wanting to join in, but. he couldn't Jinshi said that these monkeys. called Humans, weren't so... kind on creatures like her and him. he didn't see what the problem was.

this man was a warrior, just like him. and acted like how a king should act. but eventually, to his shock, the brave noble warrior was dealt with a fatal blow, and much to his shock, the man went down with an arrow to the knee, the king of all demons watched, staring with wide eyes... no... how could they... ? they had no honor doing that! he bested them! they were defeated! why did they keep fighting?

WHY DID THEY KILL HIM?!?! enraged. he roared out, bellowing throughout the entire area as the men looked around, before they all screamed as Arzaxoth charges out of the clearing, scaring the bandits away, and easily swapping them off his mountain with one slap from his hand, killing them all, as only one remained.

the one that shot the man. the noble warrior. he growled, as the other attempted to shoot him repeatedly, but it did nothing, he snarls, and simply slams his fist down, splattering the pathetic excuse of a human being into nothing more than a smeared pile of flesh. afterwards, his horns drooped, turning over and staring at the downed warrior, and lumbered on over.

he inspected the man, and noticed to his relief, he wasn't dead. thankfully, he was only stabbed just below the heart, and he seemed to be exhausted, and tired, he hissed softly, he could do nothing but comfort him the best he could.

the man weakly opened his eye, and the other locked eyes with his, the eyes were a bright green. filled with so much mystery and life in them, a faint golden pupil was seen in that eye, and it was all he needed to try to do something, he wondered how sharp his own claws were, due to a theory Jinshi told him.

that long ago apparently, man and these... dragons. ancestors of his friend possibly. were able to freely co-exist with humans, going as far as to give a part of themselves to make their friend survive, forming an bond of sorts.

he wonders if he could do that too, he may have the body of an dragon, but he was still an demon through and through and it showed with traits of his said demon self finally showing.

He shakes his head, stop thinking. just test it out, no matter how hard it hurts, this warrior's life was deserving to live, he should be honored to be connected to a powerful being like himself, and so, he stabbed himself, hissing and snarling lightly as he was slowly tearing open something in his body, an hole that would be large enough for him to reach into, and as for what he did reach into and pull out, it was a small piece of his own heart, he pushed the glowing orb into the man, and suddenly, he felt new things, new emotions, new knowledge, he was bound to this man! and the man quickly caught on too.

he was able to bond with him! so he can do what Jinshi said her kind were able to do! neat...!

they were both surprised, and unsure of how to react, but when he tried speaking to the man, he was shocked to see that the man could understand him. and he decided to take this chance to know as much as possible. he was a bit sad to hear that this man was a outcast just like him, he was a nomad, a drifter of sorts. going from place to place wherever he can. he liked that sort of thing. it reminded him of his younger years, where he went off to train and master his abilties in remote locations of the world, leaving his mark wherever he went. oh how he missed those days...

but he shouldn't dwell on the before, he should focus on the now, and got to asking.

apparently he found out lots of things. those huge stone buildings he saw were castles, and the 'titans' that kept fighting him were called humans, and that these yellow shiny things were gold and treasure. but beyond that, Arzaxoth has found a friend, one of the only friends he made in this world. 

apparently he made quite a name for himself, these humans called him King, due to how fearful the other dragons were of him, and how strong he was compared to everything else. he liked that name, it suits him.

After hours upon hours of talking, the man had to go eventually, but he said that he'd be back, and right before he got going, Arzaxoth called out to him again "Excuse me though friend but... what is your name?"

the man turned to him, and said only this.

"Stein, sir Henry Stein, at your service."

stein....

a lovely name.

Stein.

henry stein.

----

Henry Groans lightly as he wakes on up from that odd dream, rubbing his forehead with an confused expression on his face, must of been one hell of a party last night.... ugh... why did joey have to have it go on for that long.... strange, he felt a bit of anger when thinking about joey, before shrugging it off, probably nothing. the young artist blinking slightly as the young man in his late 20s and such.

He gets on out of Bed, rubbing his forehead slightly as his green eyes opened fully, getting on out of bed in a plain shirt and sweatpants and such, grunting as he looks at his messy dark brown hair with a orangish red like dye to the top of it and such, huffing and grunting as he goes into the changing room of his house, standing in there for a couple of minutes.

before eventually coming on out in a more fancy and cleaner looking outfit, having brown jeans, an dark green shirt over his long sleeve white shirt, a black vest, and some glasses on his eyes, placing his ring onto his finger as he fixes up his shoes, tapping them slightly before he huffs and goes on down the stairs to the kitchen, seeing his daughter Jessica there with his lovely wife linda "ah look who's finally woken up, had quite the night didn't you dear?"

she said, with the other smiling and yawning "eh... more or less... yeah... remind me never to take a career in... what was it?" he asked, with the other huffing "adveristing" she said, with Henry nodding "yeah... that... ugh... i need a coffee... im probably not gonna be home for long... gotta get there to the studios early." He said, with Linda humming softly as she went over and kissed his cheek

“well, you’d be sure to have some fun there, and make sure that Snazzy man lets you off easy today” she said, with Henry chuckling as he nodded, having a quick breakfast, and a cup of coffee before he gets on out of the house, his house being an rather large lodge looking place, with Henry going into his car and driving on out, towards the outskirts of the city and such that was in West Virginia their hometown, before arriving at the studios. 

 he looks to see the difference between that building and the house as he tries to think about what the different was… aside from the fact that it was a actual studios and not a story build place in a house, wait… why did he think that? Ugh his head hurts…. Yea he remembers now, he helped build the studios, while Joey and GENT handled everything else but… why did he feel like the place looked bigger than before? before he could even question it, he yelps as he felt someone touch his shoulder “oh! sorry there henry old chum!”

a familiar voice said as henry turns around, and his eyes widen, standing there, was none other than joey drew, with smooth, but slightly messy jet black hair, he wore a blue shirt, with a red vest, and sported a bowtie, along with cartoon like gloves that he made himself, his pants were a brownish color, and his shoes looking fancy, overall he had a snazzy looking appearance with his dark jacket on him.

it did'int help that henry could see his strange yellow dark glasses, overall he was a bit frighten to see joey, cause well.. of course he frightened him out of the blue. he noticed as he takes his glasses off, his green and purple colored eyes staring at him with a confused look as his eyebrows furrowed “you alright henry? i haven’t seen you this upset ever since halloween, oh now that was a fun time! sammy sure scared you good did he?”

he said as he chuckles a bit. The Cartoonist on the other hand, was far but joining in, he was shocked to see this, but he does raise his own eyebrows at that, before somehow a memory formed up on his head “oh…. heh yeah, sammy did scared me pretty good did he?” he said as joey seem to laugh “ya darn right he did! now come on pal, we got some work to do!”

he said as he unlocked the door, and the two walked into the studio. henry was..... shocked to see the inside of the studio, the walls were different, and cleaner, and it seems to be more lively, and the joey drew's studio logo wasnt even there, it said instead "STEIN AND DREW'S STUDIOS"

on it.. ah right. he forgot, his family had been with the drew's for a long time, longer than he remembered, this studios was their legacy. and somehow, he smiled at that, he looks at the nice reddish color the walls had, and how the style of the wood seems to be more like a oak color, joey seems to notice "enjoying the style change henry?"

Joey asked, smiling brightly like he always did "i knew ya would, wally and thomas are good at doing their job, but norman helped out with the new logo change, it was fun seeing all of them work together, getting along, you should of seen it"

he said as henry looked over, nodding "yeah, it does look good, you and the others seem to really did a good job with it" he said as joey seemed to grin "Well we got some time to kill before the others get here, wanna see what wonders we can come up with today?" he said as the cartoonist nodded, while chuckling, actually slightly forgetting about why he was so scared in the first place "heh, sure then joe, let's see what we can find out today"

he said as the two started to chat while walking, all while henry was attempting to see what other differences he could find in the studio. a couple of hours later have passed as some more people got in to do their jobs, henry greeted sammy and jack, who were chatting, before they noticed henry, sammy looked taller than almost anyone in the studio, having a height of 6'5 feet, he was taller than joey for that matter, the only one who could match to his height would have to be norman. his hair having a mix of brown and blonde, his blue eyes darting at henry as he putted his hands in his red jacket's pockets, tapping his dark colored shoes on the ground as jack notices henry too, he was the shortest, and possibly the youngest, being around 19 years old, and having a height of only 5 feet tall

having messy brownish hair, and wearing a nice hat, his joyful green eyes beaming with joy as he smiles at henry, before the two both waved as henry went over to them, with sammy being the first to speak out, his voice giving henry some familiar vibes "heya there henry, your here early for a change?"

sammy asked as the cartoonist shrugged, but nodded "i guess so, just giving you two a heads up that joey wanted all of us over for a meeting again" he said as he nodded, while jack groaned "again? why do we do these things?"

he said, before henry chuckled, even though jack was around 29, not as old as sammy or he was, but close enough. his voice sounded so much like a 30 year old man sometimes so it was quite funny to hear jack speak sometimes, which is why he's mainly slightly quiet. still though, the animator shrugged "he makes the rules, not me"

he said as the three went their own ways for now, henry still had some time to kill before the meeting start so he went off to find his work desk, it was right where he remembered it being, he looks off to see that there was no new room when he left, which he was kinda glad for, he tries to remember what else was going on as he sat down, and just started drawing, halfway throughout he stops as he felt someone pressed a hand on his shoulder "hey there pal"

a familiar voice said as henry turns around, to see norman, his eyes silently widen as he looks the same as he remembered him before he left the studios, same tall posture, same black cloths, same grey like hair, and of course, the same blue and yellow like eyes he seemed to have, norman smiled "what's wrong? did i scare ya? i thought i tolds ya that i sees everything henry"

he said as henry chuckled, before something recalled in his head, a memory from when he heard about the tape... wait... what tape? ah probably nothing... henry's eyes started to glow as norman blinks, raising an eyebrow henry started shivering but he was snapped back to reality when norman snaps his own fingers. the African American stares with a worried look "you alright there pal?" he asked as henry started breathing, taking a deep breathe as he gives him a thumbs up with a nervous smile "j...just peachy..."

he said as the other seemed to smile softly "Well what's ya working on?" he asked him as henry looked at what he was doing "just, drawing i guess" he said as he does some finishing touches "you know, i never could stand the actual design of that cartoon devil, i don't know he seems... well uh.... naked" he said as henry shrugged "joey came up with the idea, not me" he said as he hums a bit, with norman looking rather nervous "well... it's not my own place to judge but have you ever.... thought about giving the little guy more... jazz?" he stated, to which the other looked up, actually surprised "um... well.... no really...."

he said as he remembered something "joey never liked the old concept design we made for bendy... but i did" he said as norman sighed "no no no not that, and certainly not the other one with the... split mouth just.... eugh." he says as henry laughed, he remembered that one, in the ARCHIVES, an place within the studios that henry felt at peace, he glances up at norman as he kept talking "i mean something new! something... original almost!" henry's eyebrows raised but he was interested "like, think about this, we have a upcoming show that's been getting a lot of fans, the only thing that parents complain about is that he doesnt have any other clothes so... why not give him some?" he said as henry's eyes widen "...norman.... your a genius"

henry said as norman grinned "i know i am~" he said as the two chuckled, and henry began his work. Throughout half the whole ordeal of the drawing, norman watched as henry did his best to make a new, original design of bendy.

with norman grinning as he noticed how excited henry was as he chuckled a bit, eventually the animator was finished with the design as he showed it to the old projectionist as he inspected it, and the African American's eyes widen in shock and amazement. the design surely was VERY different than the original, for starters bendy looked more taller than he did, instead of the original being around 3 feet, he was around the same height as jack was, maybe even an foot taller, and unlike the other design and the two concept designs originally made, there were two things that make henry's bendy stand out more. 

one is that he had a neck, and a tail, with small black spines on it. and the best part of the design was that he had actual clothing on, it started off with a black colored hoodie over a brown shirt, he also had black jeans on as well, with a brownish belt that had a yellow buckle on it. on one of the pants leg he sported a small Red patch on it. the thing that norman liked the best besides the smooth head and horn design, were the shoes, they looked like tapshoes, the bowtie was normal of course, and the gloves were pretty much the same, though slightly clawed.

overall the design was perfect in henry's eyes, and he even chuckled at the little bendy badge too, and he noticed the bowtie, which raised his eyebrow "huh? you still gave him the bowtie? thought you'd given him a tie or something." henry blinks slightly. and rubs the back of his head "w-well uh if i ever plan on showing this to joey it's gonna have at leash one thing from the original design yeah?" he said as norman shrugged, but laughed "i guess so, but over all, the design is perfect, and unique, it really looks original, and a perfect design for a perfect show" he said as henry seem to smile "you really think so?" he said as norman grinned "i don't think so henry, i KNOW so"

he said to him as henry smiled, and he hugged norman, with the other smiling and returning the hug "thanks pal..." he said as norman chuckled "no problem, anything for a friend" he said as the two parted ways, with norman going back to do whatever he was doing, and henry to go show joey the design. As Henry went to joey's office, he noticed that the other was getting ready to say his speech, joey perks up seeing henry "ah! henry! what brings you here this early before the meeting starts?"

he asked as henry seem to nervously smile "w-well uh mister d-d- i mean joey, my friend. i was, doing something and norman gave me a really good idea" he said as joey raises a eyebrow "oh? and what is this idea?" he asks as henry seems to gulp, as he shows him the design, with joey looking it over, from top to bottom, as he gives henry a look "henry, this..., this design is..... is..." he smiled "perfect!"

he grins, looking up at Henry "it's perfect!"

----

he said as henry actually perks up "r-really?" he said as he smiled "of course it is! im glad that you decided to show this to me! maybe someday we'll have him wear this kind of outfit" he said as henry seems to nod, but flinch slightly, now a bit upset that joey was still going to use the original design that they both made together as the official "is that all you wanted to ask me? the meeting starts in a couple of minutes"

he said as henry nodded, as he grabbed the drawing "yeah... that's all, see ya later boss" he said as he walks out, as joey ponders on the sudden change in his friend's behavior, but he shrugs it off, he had more important things to worry about right now as he hums a bit, looking over a picture of him and a young boy, as he softly frowns at it, before sighing, and picking up his glasses, putting them on as he goes to where the meeting will take place. Henry sat down next to wally as the others were already there, henry noticed shawn, who seems to be humming as he looks over at henry, and waves.  

as henry waves back, he noticed grant and thomas who seem to be having some small talk, before he notices susie talking with sammy, henry seems to smile slightly, as he waved to them all, he didn't know why he was feeling so happy all of a sudden to see them all... but he shrugs, maybe he was just having an off day after that night, joey did always said he acted like different people sometimes.

but, he couldn't help but Eye a bit at a certain few, Mainly Thomas Connor, who was co-founding the stuff at Gent, something about him... he doesn't know but.

He just doesn't know how to figure him out. maybe someday he will. 

before long everyone grew silent as joey entered the room and went to start his speech, it was pretty much explaining some changes here and there, some minor stuff, along with adding a amusement park soon to the studios, as well as expanding it, making it big enough to house a lot of things, he even went on to explain that someday, there will be actual toons roaming around the studios, throughout most of the speech only henry and wally noticed this but joey seemed to act, a lot more different during the speech his tone was different, and the way he speaking sounded like he was 100% all of this would happen.

the meeting was over as joey said he needed to do something, as the others went off to do their breaks, wally was having a conversation with henry "man im telling ya, mister drew seems to be acting a lot different lately, more than usual, it's like he was so sure that all of this would happen, now im not complaining but like, i don't this it's that healthy for him to be... well that much into the whole bringing cartoons to life, what do you think henry..... henry?"

he looked over to see that the cartoonist was day-dreaming, or more like thinking heavily, henry was recalling more 'memories' he was having from his new life, before wally snaps his fingers, “mister Stein, you don’t look too good are ya sure your alright?” henry’s thoughts went into reality after hearing wally’s voice, asking him again if he was alright. he young animator smiling slightly at wally “y-yeah im a-alright” he said as wally stares, confused “Ya sure…. you’ve been real quiet ever since joey announced this whole bringing to cartoons life thing… I mean the moment he said that it’s like you experienced it before”

he said as henry suddenly froze again, remembering bits and pieces once again as he started shivering, wally noticing as he looked around “Uh…… henry?” he snapped his fingers “ay! come on! If ya keep on acting like this im outta here!” he said as henry blinked, he groaned as he rubbed his head, before wally seems to chuckle "hey uh, remember that one time during your daughter's birthday i dressed up like the easter bunny? she was out of her own freaking mind, im telling ya if she didint get off of me sooner, i would of been outta there!"

he said as henry, softly chuckles, with wally grinning "see! all ya needed was a little laugh and a smile! im telling ya henry, this whole thing is strange but, it's nice to know im not the only one who sees it!" he said as henry nodded, before glancing off at the distance, wondering how on earth did he get a daughter, when he blinks, recalling that he had a daughter and a son before, when he looks back at wally with a blank look “im.. gonna take a break, tell joey im going home early”

he said as he got up and walked off as wally blinks “h-hey wait joey never lets us walk out of here early!” he said as henry paid no mind, wally blinking before he sighed “man, sometimes he can be strange like mister drew... but im not complaining, he writes the checks" wally said as he took a sip from his coffee.

After the small talk he had with wally, henry huffs softly as he walks through the halls of the studio, slightly trying to remember what was going on, he had very few memories of what happened during the last loop so everything was slightly a fuzz, he did remember a big blur, and then he was here, in a different year, and now in a different universe but… he still have some sort of memories from the loops... wait... what loops?! why was he thinking that...?

what was going on... he shakes his head, he was probably just going crazy finally after those 3 years and 3 weeks of working with the company. the cartoonist humming softly to himself as he putted his hands in his pockets, he was about to go to his desk, before he suddenly  hears… crying? henry raised a eyebrow as he listened in to the crying, before he had knocked onto the door. it had stopped. 

the door opens slightly as Joey could partly be seen, though. his glasses were off, his blue eyes glowing slightly "what is it, henry?"

he asked, with henry blinking "i uh... just... heard you crying... you okay?" he asked, with Joey just, frowning a bit and glancing off "...just... had another episode. you know how it is..... ever since i lost... sally.. and with my poor eddie in a wheel chair i just..."

He said, as henry perked up, remembering. ah... right he forgot... how could he forgot? his niece. died while in the studios on a small tour. something just happened. she got lost, and when they found her... or what was left of her, was just a arm, like something had attacked her.

they found small bits and pieces and such of her within the pipes and what not but that was about it.

as for Audrey not even he knew. something just... happened... and joey had been distraught ever since. they had a funeral and everything.

Eddie got hurt in a car crash, and somehow survived, though was paralyzed from the waist down, even though he didn't seem to mind, as he still showed a smile, and draw whatever he liked, it was clear that joey though differently.

but that was 2 years ago... granted he didn't know what it was like to lose a child... not yet anyway. but he could tell that joey was getting very stressed out.

"listen... joey... it seems to me that you've been working pretty hard... maybe it's time to call it quits for today? you've been really stressed out." he said, with Joey huffing lightly as he rubs his forehead "look henry, i know your trying to help but... this has just... been a really difficult time for me... my wife's been thinking of planning... well..."

Henry blinks, before realizing. oh. shit. they were gonna have a divorce... "oh... oh shit... im... im sorry pal..." shit. how is joey gonna break that to eddie? does he even know yet? "listen im... im sorry bud... really i am...."

He said, with Joey smiling slightly "it's alright just... go on. i'll close up soon. you go on and enjoy your day my friend."

he said, with henry nodding, though still being worried as he turns and walks on off "take a break joey...! im serious!" he said, as Joey sighed lightly "i will!....  i will."

he said, closing the door as he looks back, gripping on the book he held as he stared at the inky glob on the floor, nothing. it didn't work. again. no matter how many times he tried. he can't bring her back! it's unfair! so unfair!

he rubs his forehead, his latest attempt was just. her as some kind of. weird malformed legless alice. frowning slightly as he crossed his arms a bit, grumbling slightly before huffing quietly "i have to make this work... this is as close as i got to getting you back to life... somewhat... i just need to find a suitable vessel for you to fully take form... Ali-..sally." he said, huffing as the odd creature didn't do nothing.

just like the first attempt he made to bring henry's creation to life. he still couldn't find it. but he knows it's around. somewhere.

and then. it came to the topic of audrey, and then, fixing eddie. he was the perfect choice to see if this would work. he had to be but... with what he was reading in this book. it seemed that one pure soul might not be enough... along with having an suitable vessel for the soul and new body to be connected and anchored too, it had to be pure at heart, the most purest of all of them. and had to have a heavy connection with what your trying to use to bring them back with.

or so the book says. he grumbles, placing it down "i'll just have you go down there with the rest of the attempts sally... mister connors will keep you safe. and i'll find a way to bring your cousin back to life... and... to fix my little eddie's legs...."

he said as he rubs his eyes, sniffling slightly as he just waits now for thomas to show up. after a few hours and after thomas came to clean up the mess, everyone was heading home as joey stayed back for a few more minutes, doing some research on his computer, before he looks at something that caught his eye, clicking the link and looking at a list, his eyes suddenly widen, as a smile formed on his face, this could be just what he needed to bring something back from the dead, he writes the items down on a piece of paper, taking a mental note to let henry know tomorrow as he grinned, this was it, this could be the last shot he has at trying to bring his niece and daughter back from the dead, and fix eddie!

with that idea in mind, he smiled, grinning a bit as he stared at the photo "don't worry bucko.... daddy's gonna make sure your sister and niece are coming back alive.. soon eddie. you'll come back.... with your legs... somehow... you... my dear sally will get new bodies... new forms... and nothing is going to stop me"

he said as he looks at the picture of him with his son, smiling softly at it as he takes off his glasses.  rubbing his eyes slightly as he putted the glasses back on, and turned off his computer, getting ready to go home for the night, before.... he stares at a page in the book he didn't read.

picking it up slightly, before he perks up, light the cogs in his brain were going off, and like a light-blub had appeared, grinning slightly... oh... oh yes.. this will work very nicely.

elsewhere. henry was on his way home when he stops for a moment, looking at the night sky as he stops at a stop sign while driving, the cartoonist looking at the beautiful stars with a smile, before he keeps driving back to his house, maybe he could get use to this new life he has, at leash he wasnt in a never ending story anymore, henry turns on the radio as he listens and hums to a song as he seems to get slightly lost in it, the song he was listening too was titled "country roads" as he hummed to it “music sure has changed apparently...”

he said quietly to himself as he was driving back to his house, humming lightly as he eventually arrived on back home, having dinner and such, reading the newspaper and such, and getting on ready for bed, after going to sleep for a while, he suddenly woke up with a light hiss and gasp, his eyes widening as they were oddly enough glowing, Linda asked him what was wrong.. and why his eyes were glowing but he shakes his head, smiling softly as he told her he was just fine, getting on up and saying he's gonna need a minute, going on outside to the balcony as he sat on his chair, looking over the sky and the forest as he hums, thinking about those odd dreams he kept having.

like something was wrong.

like he should get out of there. sure there were times where he would.. hate his job but... it wasn't like he could quit now.

could he?

He was the co-founder of the studios, though WAS. sillyvision has been in the drews and steins's legacy for nearly 2 decades, starting from 1929, all the way up to 1987. in total that was 58 years, from generation to generation of cartoon characters, but none has ever made them more popular than ever than Bendy the Demon, Boris The Wolf, And Alice Angel.

it got him to wonder though.

what was going on in the studios when joey was staying there? what was he and gent really doing?

he doesn't know... he shrugs, huffing softly, perhaps he'll never know.

but. at least if it gets joey's mind off of the grief of his family, then at least he's happy.

...but was He himself really happy with his current life?

he didn't know.

at least he had his wife. and his son to always come back too

....hopefully.
