19:40:56
cheeky grin in his face tricked you~? I don't know what you mean~ you accepted the contract~ Now live with your consequences~

chuckles
19:45:51
This boy is not the only one~
19:46:16
turns back to Jamie Well it takes some time to get people back from the land of the dead~ You are just an impatient weak boy~
19:47:05
clenches fist B-But how much time.... does it take, demon?
more anger across my face
19:48:30
A similar anger crosses my face I want my wife you demon prick, where is she.
19:49:17
Seems like some people are getting angry~
chuckles Why do you think I came here in person and didn't take over your body~?
19:49:58
I lean against a nearby wall I'm curious to as why you haven't, yes
19:50:19
As a demon... that takes his contracts really serious~ I am here to finish my part of that deal~
19:51:35
My ears perk up She's coming back..?
19:52:11
W-What...? S-So you are going.... to bring her back...?
the anger fades in an instant, barely able to believe what Cyrus said
19:52:28
I blink ...Huh... well that's all well and good but I'm still not impressed with the body-snatching
19:52:42
Don't get me wrong, I'm happy you're bringing Nocti back... but at the same time, you did still steal my friends body basically
19:53:07
looks over to Draco His body would probably explode doing this ritual.... It would be funny~ But I am not going to destroy one of my eyes in this world~
19:54:16
S-She's coming back...

Catch~? Why would there be a catch~? It's just my part of the deal~
19:56:01
I raise an eyebrow ...You realize none of us believe you right?
19:56:15
If you hadn't stolen Jamie's body, would have given you the benefit of the doubt... buttt that card is unfortunately unplayable
19:56:56
Oh no~ You won't believe me~ I am so sad and hurt by that~
gives Draco a bored look
19:57:29
I mean... we can't really do anything to him Draco...
19:57:57
I deadpan Sarcasm is not helping your case here
19:58:33
And that's true Phoebe... doesn't mean I'm not gonna be angry about it
19:58:46
Anyway~ Lets get to it~
a blood red sword appears out of thin air right next to him and he takes it by the handle, holding the blade to the ground
19:59:25
Mutters under breath Damn that's a cool swor
20:00:01
he holds the sword up right in front of him, before slamming the sword into the ground, making it stand by itself
20:00:48
I scooch back on the couch, worried It kinda is...
20:00:49
The ritual can start~
He rest his hand on the handle of the greatsword as he snaps with his other hand, a red portal appearing in front of him at the ceiling
20:02:03
Is... is she really coming back..?
My tail starts quickly wagging
20:02:45
Hopefully... but if this is some sort of messed up trick... let's just say, it won't end well
20:03:16
he waits a little, with a grin across his face, as the corpse of Nocti comes out of the portal, falling onto the floor There she is~
chuckles
20:03:46
I gasp as I see her lifeless on the floor W-WHAT?
20:04:16
I look softly at the corpse ...So how are you bringing her back?
20:04:20
She is right there~ What do you mean~?
20:04:39
I clench a fist You didn't ever mean to bring her back to life... just to bring us her corpse
20:05:07
I stare daggers into his, tears forming If you don't bring her back to life right now I will fucking end you
20:05:21
I raise a hand to Phoebe No... no... I think I can take it from here... if you all will allow me, that is
20:05:43
he starts laughing loudly HAHAHA~ This is always the funniest part~
20:05:52
...I'd call you a sick demented bastard but you'd take that as a compliment
20:06:16
Now we get to the hard part~
he summons a small portalin front of his hand, as his hand gets covered in a ghostly look
20:07:24
I stare at her corpse on the floor, horrific memories of the fight coming back to me
20:07:26
I raise an eyebrow What are you planning now?
20:07:59
Bot/Gelöscht
stares in silence
20:08:17
sighs Realm of the dead....
He shoves his ghostly hand into the portal
20:08:57
I sigh Well at least you're actually bringing her back
20:10:05
I continue staring at the body, tears slowly falling down my cheeks
20:10:33
his hand stays in the portal for a while before he gets a hold of something and starts pulling it through the small portal
20:10:34
stares in shock seeingg the body, while sliding closer to Phoebe and putting my hand on her back, trying to calm her down
20:11:43
He starts pulling heavily on the thing in has hand, as he finally gets it out of the portal and it is Nocti's soul There it is... I hate this realm of the dead~
20:12:48
Rolls eyes Well, glad to see we're on the same page about something
20:13:41
as his other hand rests on the handle of the sword, he closes his eyes and his other hand, with the soul in it's hand starts to get covered in bright demonic flames
20:17:02
he kneels down and starts to push the soul into Nocti's lifeless body with his palm
20:18:26
...So how long will it take for her soul to settle?
20:19:08
Seeing his hand snaps me out of it, tears falling down my eyes being wiped away as I figure out what's going on
20:19:42
as he finishes putting the soul into the body with a lot of his strength, he takes the body in his arms and looks over to Draco When the ritual is done~
He closes his eyes and a red coffin appears in front of him, placing Nocti inside of it
20:21:40
he closes the coffin and it gets wrapped up in a black material, closing it tightly, unable to open it
20:23:15
...You know, putting her into a coffin like that disturbs me... but yeah, what now?
20:26:30
Just watch~ not going to surprise the show~
Cyrus pulls the greatsword out of the floor and raises it to his hand, letting it rest in his palm. He moves his hand over the coffin and cuts his hand, making his demon blood drop all over the coffin
20:27:59
not going to ruin the surprise~*
20:29:04
I roll my eyes The last time someone told me that sort of thing when it was personal was the same time I got my arm broken
20:29:16
We can repeat that~ I would love to do that~
20:29:45
I glare at Cyrus ...You know, none of what you're saying is helping your case that we should track down whatever form you have outside of Jamie and beat it into submission right?
20:30:37
Draco can you please stop threatening the man who is bringing back my wife?
20:31:06
he takes something out of his pocket and places on top of the coffin and takes a few steps back with a smirk Oh... you are calling that threatening~? Think I didn't notice it after hearing those thousands of times~
20:31:47
I look at Phoebe I'll try to tone it down... but I'm not a fan of body snatchers
20:31:51
Gives a long-suffering sigh I swear to the spirits ABOVE you are enjoying this way too much Cyrus
20:32:26
shrugs and snaps his fingers, making the blood on the coffin ignite into bright red flames, so bright that it is hard to look at
20:34:06
and now~ we wait~
he makes his sword disappear in this air again, crossing his arms, as he look at the coffin
20:34:50
...You know that doing this, by no means, makes us friends right Cyrus?
20:35:47
after a few minutes, the top of the coffin starts to burn down, starting to ignite the body of Nocti now aswell
20:36:19
I blink ...Demonic rituals involve a lot of fire, gotta admit
20:36:52
looks over to Draco Belive what you want to believe~
20:37:28
I glare at Cyrus ...What even is your angle in all of this?
20:37:58
the flames get bigger, starting to cover up the whole coffin in flames and they start burning all of it down even quicker I am just fulfilling my part of my contract~
20:39:09
And we both know there are several loop-holes you could have fufilled
20:39:29
But you're going the extra mile by actually bringing Nocti back to life, I can tell you're doing it in a way that isn't zombification
20:39:54
I cross my arms So what is your angle?
20:40:07
But I am a demon that keeps his words and especially his contracts~
20:40:18
You really like asking a lot of question, don't you~?
the coffin finally fully burned down and now it's only Nocti's body remaining in demon flames, as they slowly start dying down
20:42:50
I've learned over the years about many things. One of them is that some demons like to exploit loop-holes
20:43:18
And one common loop-hole for bringing someone back is making them undead
20:43:55
Yet you went the extra mile with the Realm Of The Dead... so that just makes me wonder what your angle is?
20:44:44
Maybe he's just fufilling the contract Draco, all we can do is hope
20:45:23
I sigh ...Right... well whatever your angle is, I aim to discover it
20:45:58
the flames start to burn down slowly, as it finally comes to a stop, with Nocti's body remaining with a few burns on her skin on the ground See for yourself~ The ritual is completed~
he points his arm into Nocti's direction

...I think we're about to find out Isabel
21:34:17
Watches with intrigue
21:34:31
A drum roll from nowhere starts playing, before someone appears in the light Nocti shined behind the grand podium. They are wearing elegant and grand white robes, and a jester-like mask as they tap an invisible microphone, speaking in a voice that you can't pin down Greetings~! Is this thing on~?
They laugh, before bowing Welcome all to my realm~! I am Qedes, pleasure to have you~
21:35:51
Don’t tell me this is the other shoe dropping
21:36:05
...So, I'm gonna take a wild guess here say you're here to tell us something important?
21:36:28
I clap my hands I am impressed with the theatrics, however
21:36:58
Applauds thinking it's entertainment
21:37:04
Of course~! A sharp mind you have there Draco, many years of living on your lonesome does that~!
They glance, seeing Nocti shining the light I do thank you for the spotlight dear, and welcome back to the land of the living!

Focuses the light on the mysterious figure and tries to keep it on them.
21:37:58
W-wait this isn't celebration entertainment?
21:38:09
I nod and gesture a hand to Qedes So, what is it that you have to tell us? Because I also get the feeling... you've got something sinister planned
21:38:26
Bot/Gelöscht
Who are you?
21:38:30
After all... no ordinary person would compliment my sharp mind so easily
21:38:37
Doesn’t seem like it Kaylie

"So this isn't a music video?"
21:38:42
I look at my nails I mean... I am considered insane by some standards
21:39:14
holding a teddy bom just in chase
21:39:19
Glances at Isabel Don't think we're gonna be able to hurt them... seen these sorts of types before
21:39:46
Looks at Qedes with a curiously
21:39:55
Okay if you say so~
putting it away
21:40:17
They look to Draco Sinister~? No sir, think of me more like... a guide of sorts. A guide through the peril and chaos you all will go through~!
They wave their hand, the gigantic rock golem appearing behind them as they walk around the stage as if they were lecturing You see, that wizard and his friend here were just the beginning of your trials and tribulations~!
21:40:21

Guess your right Draco we have seen worse than this (Night night Kitty cat)
21:43:07
Oh no, I didn't mean worst thing in terms of normality... I meant in terms of reality-bending specifically
21:43:30
I look back at Qedes, humming slightly
21:44:04
"That helps Draco..."
sighs
21:44:20
Doesn’t mean it won’t be a pain in the ass
21:44:26
The rock golem yells, starting to charge towards the audience before they wave their hand and it suddenly dissapears I didn't send them after you, though I did know they were coming! After all, who else to know but the one who knows the future~!
They put a hand into their robes inner pocket, pulling out a large deck of cards with decorative backings You there Draco, you have a mind full of references and knowledge~! Care to tell the room what these are?
They fan out the cards in one hand, showing you their front
21:44:31
...Tarot Cards. Specifically, the Main Arcana set
21:44:54
Dang it knew they looked familar...
21:45:41
Yep, usually they're used for divination and future-telling but... I get the feeling that isn't gonna be their intended use today
21:46:17
Correct~!
They shuffle the deck masterfully, moving back behind the podium Your journey will involve many things, and I'll give you all a slight hint: I'll be waiting at the end~! *They laugh before drawing a card out of the deck, it growing large enough to for everyone to see, reading "The Fool"
21:46:39
Care to explain this one as well Draco?
21:46:52
nudges Draco "Maybe they'll shove it up their ass..."
21:46:54
“The Fool”, huh? I think I know where this is going

21:48:45
whispers to Aleda What is wrong with this person and those cards...?
21:48:47
God should have payed attention sorry mom...
21:48:48
I look at the card with a hum The Fool Arcana. It isn't first or last in the deck, hence the number zero on it. Upright, represents New Beginnings, spontaneity, a free spirit
21:49:05
mumbles to Jamie "Gambling addiction... maybe?"
21:49:11
Bot/Gelöscht
Think I saw this in a game once?
21:49:17
Of course, reversed... it represents recklessness, risk-taking... I get the feeling you chose that card specifically for a reason
21:49:36
whispers to Aleda Do you understand anything they are talking about...?
21:50:09
I sigh And look over at Jamie. I can give you a simple summary on Tarot cards later. Got big fish to fry
21:51:00
mumbles to Jamie "The only thing I understand is that I need a fucking drink after this..."
21:51:08
(Meant to put the astierisk at the end of that)
21:51:25
New beginnings is correct~! And you were quite reckless when you slaughtered that kingdom way back then, if only you were as knowledgeable as you are now~!
They laugh uproariously, taking great joy to the situation Now you all should scatter along then, make sure to prepare, the road ahead is filled with many traps and pitfalls~!
21:51:46
I clench my fist ...Oh, of course you'd use that to represent me
21:52:16
W-well together we will overcome any trap physical or mental as a group!
21:53:08
A fantastic mindset to have Kaylie, though can you even trust each other~?
They wave their hands, showing visions or arguments and fights between different members of the group I'll say, it will be quite fun watching you all struggle~!
21:54:24
I hum before chuckling impressed Planting the seed of doubt... good strategy
21:54:58

They laugh, waving away the visions Believe what you want to believe, do what you wish, but know this~
I lights dim, the only light in the room being the faint aura around Qedes It will be I you will have to defeat after your long journey, and I am quite the opponent~!
21:57:14
I look over at Qedes And believe me... we'll remove that mask of yours and reveal your true self
21:57:37
Indeed nothing to think too much of for now we celebrate and then we prepare for this jerk to meet his match!
21:57:41
I then grin So watch yourself

Slowly feeds chaos magic into the paper brute forcing the charm into glowing with a golden hue

They only smile underneath their mask, face looking towards the ground bowing as Maria begins her assault
22:07:00
Damn it! This got out of hand really quickly
22:07:35
Yep... and let this be a lesson guys... this is Reality-Bender Logic lesson 1. When they've got the advantage... you'll lose no matter what
22:08:15
Especially in a first encounter

mumbles toward Aether's direction "A slobber knocker indeed..."
22:08:25

22:08:42
Is there any way out of this...?
22:08:53
We don't that's the move

I quickly tip it back, setting it on the platter Food?
22:51:57
steps further closer to you, with warm smile, slowly reaching for your hand You are the strongest and can show it aswell~ You just need to analyze your surrounding and need to realise when it is the right time to strike~
22:52:33
Bot/Gelöscht

22:52:50
I grab a a small veggie sandwich off the platter, remembering you wanted something light, bringing it to your mouth
22:54:16

Then maybe we can sit out on the balcony and look over the city.~
I lean my head onto your shoulder as my eyes start to drift closed.
23:00:45
I smile, slowly leaning you back onto the bed and moving your legs up, laying you down with me next to you I'd love for nothing more~

Bot/Gelöscht

I slowly go to sleep as I hold onto your arm and hand.
23:04:07
Love you too Nocti~
I hold your hand, getting comfortable and lightly hugging you as I slowly fall asleep
23:05:28
I look down as I notice your shaking hands, returning my gaze to your eyes You got tricked... It was not your action that did it! There is nothing wrong about being tricked... you just need to learn from this... So there is no chance of it happening again...
I reach with my finger under your chin, slowly lifting your head, looking at you with a warm smile I am here for you~
