    The pain was horrible, almost to the point of unbearable. Still, he had to fight through it. At least snap her out of it. It felt like his throat was tightening. The boy managed to run forward and swing the thing again when the daemon was distracted. This time he did swing it hard. Pain. The pain has to jolt her out of it, whether she can feel it right now or not!


    //Ah sorry! Mobile! Ill be on again in an hour but I have to go right now. I just wanted to get a quick reply in before that though.

    //It's okay!


    Juliette slumped to the side not expecting to be hit and fell to the ground. Her voice had gone quiet as she took in abnormal breaths unable to control herself. She was still covered in blood, but her once elongated nails were back to its normal size, and Juliette remained looked up at they night sky struggling to breath as her hands clenched together. Everything was spinning and she couldn't make sense of anything. She could see black spots around her eyes which freaked her out even more since she didn't want to sleep in fear of what she'll be dreaming of. Her body began to tremble her mind wanting to shut down and rest, Juliette wasa physically, mentally, and emotionally worn out. Kept looking at the sky with her breathing coming out in pants.

    Kano held the now-a-spear above her, panting hard from the pain. It made him want to drop everything and scream but he couldnt. No, they had somewhere to go at the moment. No wound dressing on Earth would be able to heal him fast enough. Still, he wasnt sure if Juliette was ready for him to put down the weapon. Could he trust himself to hold off the beast if he couldnt even hold himself in battle? It was disappointing and terrifying. If he couldnt get her under control, what would happen? It looked like the daemon had gone to rest so he slowly lowered the weapon, holding the weight in his unhurt hand.


    "We need to go to Nyrrak. Right now. Weve run out of time."

    Juliette felt tears run down her face as she moved her eyes to stare at a worn out Kano. Defeat and self disappointment were present in his eyes as she reached forward. Her hands shook as her blackened tears continued on trailing down her face and grabbed hold of his face in her blood stained hands while she said," Let's go. There is nothing left here..." Her voice trembled and couldn't bring herself to know the state of Kylan since the only heartbeats that she could hear were her own and Kano's'. The teen pulled herself to a sitting position, but clung to Kano as she kept her head low as to not let her eyes wonder. You'll finally be going home, Juliette. You'll like it in my home. Very spacious and anything you want at you beck and call. The demon grinned from behind them as Juliette was the only one to hear. Her arm shot out trying to stab the demon beside her, but he was just in her mind, he didn't have an actual body so all she did was hit air. Feisty, he laughed before disappearing.

    He didnt like the blood so he didnt like when Juliette got it on him. Or that her behavior changed so rapidly. Not that he would say anything about it. Without waiting for another confirmation the male focussed on bringing them where he needed to be. Within a matter of moments everything had changed. The air being sucked out of the place before everything went grey. Next thing he knew, they were standing in a large, almost empty room. Feeling quite dizzy from the blood loss he reached out to grab the chair for support.


    'I should take you to your room before I go get washed up." He murmured, half to himself.

    Juliette slumped against the ground as she allowed her eyes to wonder to the ominous castle before them. The green glow that is was giving added to its creepy affect and Juliette was positive that id she was fully conscious she would be yelling and screaming to get away. Lovely isn't it. The demon manifested next to her smiling as he looked at his home. I was starting to get a bit home stick from being away for too long, but all is well and things can go back to normal. Juliette would've insulted him if it weren't for two demons showing up. They each kneeled putting one hand to their chest while the other went to their back, "We've been waiting for your arrival my lady." This unsettled Juliette, but was too weak to deny. The one on the right was named Sora and had a small dragon perched on its shoulder. He was dressed in white while the other, Zione, was dressed in back who gave off a malice ura as they both kept their head down in respect for their ruler returning.


    "Everything has been arranged and your room is ready for you as well as a bath." They spoke in perfect unison as they both stood up having their heads slightly bowed and didn't meet her eyes as they each went to her side to help get to her feet. Sora wrapped his arm around her back and legs so he could carry her while Zione went to Kano. "You need to also get yourself treated. You look bad, but it seems you didn't do your job well."


    Sora
    Zione
    The Castle

    //Oh!! The twins!!


    Their arrival was quickly noticed, which was quite odd. Two daemons came and insisted on what needed to be done. They hadnt introduced themselves either. Kano had seen them around but he had never talked or worked with them. It seemed as if now he was. The golden eyes narrowed as the other males words. He knew that he kept failing. He didnt need other people to point it out. Kano let out a slight hiss when he straightened himself out. His shoulder was not having this. His eyes glanced back at Juliette before returning to the taller figure before him.


    "I can go to Clariice myself." Kano stated, already turning away.

    Disregarding his retreading figure, Zione followed after Sora and Juliette. He had sensed the power as soon as they entered the dimension and he was sure that others did as well. This was good since there could finally be a sense of order around here since things have gone crazy without a ruler. Sora made sure to avoid Juliettes wounds and entered a large room and placed her on the bed. "My lady, your wounds should be closing on their own now since you've arrived. Everything is organized and well taken care of." The white clothed demon spoke as he kneeled before her with Zione doing the same. "Is there anything else you'll need?" Zione asked in a gruff voice as he kept his gaze down out of instinct and respect.


    She still felt dizzy, but welcomed the softness of the bed. Juliette was surprised to see that the alike demons weren't as horid as she thought they'd be. Nevertheless she wasn't completely sane yet and she didn't trust her voice. With a shake of her head, she dismissed them as she fell back against the bed closing her eyes. The twins gave a nod and slithered out of the room in silence. "We're going to need to speak with Kano and to know what has happened." Sora agreed with Zione words as they closed the door to Juliettes room.

    Kano had slunk into the clinic right after they left. The icy air of the palace cooled the burning sensation some. Unlike almost everyone here, he was still human. That meant that he would not heal faster. In fact, he was nearly positive that he heals slower down here. Not that he got hurt very often. Clariice shook her head when she saw him, a warm welcome apparently. They talked some. It was nothing of importance. The weather, how the daemon who possessed Juliette was so much stronger and active than the last, what was happening throughout Nyrrak. The usual basically. It was less that thirty minutes later his wounds had healed due to whatever the medic had given him. Too bad it made him extremely hyper. The male needed to be alert, not hyper.

    Feeling tired despite wanting to bounce off of the walls and run for miles, he decided to head back to his room. Two familiar figures came into view. Kano avoided looking at them any longer, hoping that they would leave him alone. Then he realized something. Who was keeping watch?


    "You two! You took the Queen back to her room, yes? Whos keeping watching?" He hoped that they said someone name. It was too dangerous if no one was there. Especially down here.

    The twins shrugged off his out burst and looked at him with a bored expressions. "My Lady is being guarded by two others and isn't alone. But we want to know is-" Zione continued where Sora left off " What happened in the human world that caused her to end up in such a state? Physically it won't be long before she's fully healed but her mind is in shackles." Zione didn't like the state their new leader is in and nether did Sora. They are both doubting his credibility to watch over her and are coming to a decision to have her with a new guard or at least they'll watch over her. "Try to not leave any details out." Sora stated remaining still, but his attention was on Kano. "What caused her to end in this state?"


    For the first time, there was silence. It was bliss. No voices calling out to her. No force feeding. And no more temptation to kill. Silence... Juliette sighed as she opened her eyes and frowned, "It's too quiet." Too quiet and she didn't like it. Why wouldn't she? Isn't this what she wanted and what she craved her every since the mouths first spoke. The burning and churning in her stomach were completely gone and she felt lighter than usual. Juliette sat up from the bed and allowed for her eyes to wonder and try to find something to distract herself as to not let her mod wonder too far and question.

    The tiredness washed over him once more now that nothing was wrong. He didnt want to have to explain how badly he had failed his job to these two. It was bad enough knowing what happened. He didnt need to make it worse by sharing it.


    "The daemon is smarter than the last, and much stronger. She has been fighting it ever since it found her. Obviously if a normal human never exposed to even the slightest of the supernatural is thrown into this situation, most arent going to be mentally well. The Queen is doing an amazing job of keeping herself together though, I do have to admit." The males eyes were burning and all the energy that he had was now gone. "If you need to, put more people on watch. Twelve or so hour shifts will be good, if you put daemons on. Ill be back in twelve hours." Kano informed them before slinking past them and up into his room without waiting for an answer.

    So you could interact, you can play as Zione. He is the silent and thinking type of the two. Sora is more talkative


    The twins watched his retreading figure. "We'll need to get someone to watch over him." Sora spoke as the small creature at his shoulders shook its head, while Zione remained quiet. Zione kept to his own thoughts and headed down the hall to where they had left the queen in her chambers. Sora understood what he was doing and followed after him and only moved to knock on the door when they had arrived. The two guards paid them no mind and continued on looking out. "My Lady, are you well?" Sora asked as he used his heightened hearing to listen for any movement that he might hear inside.


    Juliette hadn't moved from her spot as she heard the knock. She stared at the nod of the door and didn't take her eyes away from it until it unlocked by itself and opened a fraction of an inch. Juliette kept her eyes on the door as she waits for them to enter to which they do, but stay near the door as it closed behind them. They each kneel and say," Sorry to intrude, but we came to make sure everything was to your liking. Also, if we may speak freely, what happened when you got possessed."

    A scowl came over the feamles face when she was assigned to watching over the new ruler. She had seen countless come and go. This one would be no different. She would get there, stand there for hours on end, go to her room, get ready for the next day, repeat. Nothing interesting ever happened. There was almost no sound coming from her and the irritated female approached the door. Wyeth zipped up her gray jacket more, trying to look a little more presentable, before knocking thrice. As the last knock faded, the brunette entered the room, quickly bowing to the new ruler.


    "Good morning, Your Highness. I am assigned to stay on watch for the next day. I will act more as a bodyguard, so you can leave the palace. Of course, there will be more accompanying us so you do not have to worry about your safety. Its a pleasure meeting you." Wyeth stated, forcing a smile. The green eyes quickly scanned over the tired looking female, ignoring the two white haired males next to her.

    Just to clear something up. There has only been one leader and that is the demon that has possessed her. The demon entity is one of the few that hold great power, which is why he is considered an entity. He was dying which is why he forced himself into Juliette's body so he could continue on living. This made her the new ruler. Just to clear up somethings


    Sora and Zione stood up from their kneeling position and stationed themselves on each side of Juliette as she stared at the new demon in front of her. Her violet eyes took in her appearance and could read her body language. It didn't take much to know that her new guard was forcing on a smile and radiated an agitated presence. Sora glanced at the Queen waiting for a command, but also waiting to see how she would react. "Stop faking." Were the words that came out of her mouth as she kept eye contact. "There is nothing good about the situation so there is no reason to smile." Sora had a faint smile at his lips and he faced forward and Zione didn't react. Nearly dying and always losing control, Juliette had enough and wasn't surprised by anything anymore. She was being agitated, she was tired and still has blood all over her to which she is in a desperate need for a bath. Before the short haired queen could do anything, she needs to get herself clean before anything else. "Leave."

    Wyeth stood straight once more. The white haired males smile made her slightly irritated. He wasn't any better! The smile had dropped to be replaced by a rather neutral expression. Not exactly happy but not angry or sad. She did want to leave, she really did. However, she had orders and those orders were to be obeyed. As far as Wyeth was concerned, the people who assigned her to this task was far higher on the ladder than the Queen herself. Wyeth held up a single finger and pulled a "let me explain" face.


    "I believe that you are wrong, Your Highness. There is a ton of good that has come out of this. Since whatever has possessed you was born here, that means that he will be much calmer here. You wont have to fight it as much. You have more freedom here and more protection. In a couple days, the land will get calmer which is a much, much needed thing right now. Its chaos all around. Lastly, youll have more freedom here." The brunette reasoned, refusing to break the eye contact. Then she bowed. "That's perfectly fine though. I will leave... the room. I am assigned to be here for your protection. I wont be able to leave for another 24 hours. Sorry, Your Highness." Wyeth rose.
