A meeting of the gods

[goria]

Goria knew that he would need allies if he was to survive the upcoming war, and he knew that mortals probably wouldn't help. So he decided to go for those who aren't alive anymore.

Goria put his hand in the soil, and redid the same spell he had done many years before. The spell to open a gateway to hell. He did this, and a crack opened in the earth with a staircase descending into the endless abyss that those who sin go to. Goria calmly walked in, the demons avoiding him altogether, knowing how powerful he truly was now that he was in the body of a true Fiin. He even got to the chambers of Satan himself before one even talked to him.

"H-hey, you can't go in there!" He screamed. Goria looked at the demon, then blew its head up on the spot. No other demon questioned him after, and he opened the gateway to Satan effortlessly. Satan looked up, surprised at this sudden intrusion.

"And what do I owe this pleasure for, Goria?" He asked. Goria chuckled.

"Well, I have one dead general, another in mourning and a third off somewhere unknown. I need allies. And I need them now. Those two who aren't missing are useless to me now, so I come with a deal for you. How about you get all of Guerre in the war along with the kingdom of heaven, and I get the rest? All I need is a few legions of undead and some demons, no biggy. Whatd'ya say, my old friend?"

[Walter Grace]

Walter, after convincing Phillis to go back to Paineston with his sister and Walter's son, had decided to get help from his lord. He wants Avaleur on his side. He will help us win. Walter walked into the underground city of Cresthunt in his demon form, into Satan's castle. It was no problem, until he spotted the remains of a demon outside his lords chambers. Eyes slightly wide, Walter walked into the room.

Spotting Goria, walter pursed his lips. "My lord. Might I ask why an enemy of Avaleur stands before you?"

[goria]

Goria looked over at Walter and smiled. "I am no enemy to Avaleur. I wish to better Avaleur by taking it from its current, oppressive rulers, and I think satan here would love to help an old friend like me."

[Walter Grace]

"Destroying a fair lot of the town is definitely trying to help, right? Please, Goria, you're not being very intelligent if you think I would be as foolish as to believe that bullshit." Walter crossed his arms. "My king is bettering Avaleur as best as he can, and the knights are helping aid him. I am part of the knights. Therefore, I doubt my lord would think one of his head commanding officers is trying to break Avaleur down."

[goria]

"Shut your mouth!" He screamed at Walter, then he used the same spell on Walter as he did Dante to seal his mouth. Hopefully it worked on demons as well as mages.

[Walter Grace]

Walter sent a surge of dark red energy out, flinging the blocker away. "Key word- demon. Commander demon. You're in my turf. Try that shit again, I honestly doubt my lord will be too impressed with you attacking one of his officers."

[goria]

Goria laughed. "I realize this. I also realize that he is a god as am i. You are not. You are nothing more than a low rank, 'commander', demon. Nothing too big to worry about." He turned, ignoring Walter, and continued with satan. (alright, I'mma leave the satan rping to you Walter. After all, you're the demon lol)

[Walter Grace]

(( Alright, alright, I warn you in advance though, I make Satan speak highly of Walter since he has always been beside him and loyal to him : P Two of many reasons to say the least. If you do not like the way I make him speak, please tell me and we'll figure it all out! : D ))

Satan watched with interest, watched as the two spoke. He finally stood up, smiling. "Now, now, you two. Walter, I know your interests are at best, but please know that speaking with a god unkindly is not a smart idea. You are strong, but I wish neither of you to harm eachother. And you are also much too angry Walter. This clouds your judgement in a fight, as you well know. Goria, Walter may not be a god as we are but he is very, very close. You underestimate his powers. You of all people should know I wouldnt choose just anybody to fight by my side," satan chuckled as he spoke.

"I do agree with Walter in one aspect, though. I wish to preserve Avaleur. I do not wish them harm. I have seen what you did to them, and sadly I am not amused. I wish destruction. But right now, I wish of those people to choose me when they die, and not the latter." the god nodded.

Walter frowned as his lord spoke. My judgement is fine... he thought as he listened, but dared not speak as he waited, looking at Goria to see what he would say.

[goria]

"You're getting soft old friend. I still remember the slaughter of Bidgar all those years ago, when you commited the genocide of the Haux peoples." Goria said, frowning. He turned on Walter. "And you, you are not a god. You are not close to our level of power. Well, maybe his as he has been very inactive lately." he said, indicating satan.

[Walter Grace]

"You wanna bet?!" Walter took a step forward. Satan motioned with his hand for Walter to stay, and Walter stopped, starring at Goria with rage.

"I would not say I am growing soft, Goria!" satan laughed. "I help Avaleur to make my army larger than it already is. The day that the city holds no suitable hosts in my army, or they choose the other side, than I will destroy them with a flick of my wrist."

"You may be a god, but you are not one of the most powerful. I am the ruler of the underworld, of demons and the dead. If you believe you are more powerful than one of the most powerful gods of all, you are highly mistaken." satan shrugged, sitting down on a chair.

[goria]

"Only your equal when my powers are unrestrained. All that time in a seperate dimension gave me much room to meditate and study myself. I unlocked parts of me that gave myself powers the likes of which not even my father knew of." He said to satan calmly. "Also, should you want a larger kingdom in hell then wouldn't many deaths do that for you? Humans breed lke rats. Kill a thousand and ten more will spring up for each killed. With Avaleur's destruction will come a time of great prosperity for your kingdom. You may even be able take out the one who put you here." He finished, indicating the one who reigns in heaven. He turned to Walter.

"And trust me demon. Even if you were as strong as me, you have not even one shred of the battle experience or wisdom of years that I do. I existed before the lands themselves had even formed from the sand of which they were created. I killed before there were any living on that land, and I have seen things before the first humans or elves or even dragons opened their eyes. Leave this folly and just watch. Maybe you will one day be a god."

[Walter Grace]

"That is not how it works, Goria. Should I let Avaleur be harmed, their souls will subconsciously choose to become angels, or just plain pass on. Helping them, or having my demons help them, makes their souls choose to become a demon when they pass." satan laughed. "As for taking out the ones who sent me here, I don't have a need for that currently. After all, we are more at an agreement currently, with the souls. I do not wish a war between heaven and hell. I honestly doubt you will change my mind about the matter." satan stopped, looking at Walter who was staring at Goria.

"I will not stand by and watch the people I care about suffer." the demon gritted his teeth. "You have nothing. That is why what battle experience I have compared to yours does not matter."

[goria]

"Nothing you say? And what do you mean by that?" He asked, referring to Walter. He turned to satan. "You can make deals and bargains, but eventually one or the other will break the agreement whether you want it or not. It would be much better to be the aggresor, so you control all of the first strikes."

[Walter Grace]

"Who do you have to protect, huh? No one. You do not have as much motivation as me." Walter clenched his teeth. Satan chuckled at the two.

"They are too noble to break the agreement we currently have. I know what I am doing, Goria."

[goria]

"I have no need to protect anybody. I wish to preserve my race, and to do that I need land enough so they can live comfortably. Avaleur seems like a good starting spot, so therefore it needs to cease to exist. Maybe Paineston will be next." He said, smirking. This was obviously upsetting the demon more. Maybe a bit more anger and he could provoke him into an attack. He turned to satan.

"You've always known what you were doing. Is that why you've requested my assistance twice before? And now, the one time I need your help, you deny me?"

[Walter Grace]

"Moron. You're a bloody moron." Walter shook his head, muttering.

"I requested it. That does not mean I needed your help. And I never asked to interfere with your own plan, as you are right now. I do not need to help you. You are wasting your time." satan frowned, resting his head on his hand.

[goria]

"Nah. I just don't see the point in speaking to a low class demon like you who thinks he's strong enough to make a difference." With that, Goria laughed and pointed at satan.

"When I'm through with Avaleur, you had best grovel at my feet or you're next."

[Walter Grace]

Walter held in a laugh. Low class demon. This guy's a nut.

At what Goria said, satan bellowed a laugh. "I guarantee you, Goria, that Avaleur will defeat you. And once you die- you're mine."

[goria]

Goria laughed out loud at Satan. "You of all people should know that once an ancient Fiin dies, they don't go to heaven or hell. They get reincarnated. Miyol is proof of that. When I killed my father, Miyol was born exactly one year later and had many of the same exact qualities as my father. That's why it was so easy to bend him to my will. Unless you can snatch my soul and keep my power restrained fully, then hell has no hold on me." He turned to Walter and smirked at him.

"Go back to your precious Avaleur. Oh, I have been wondering. That girl with the elf, she looked to be a dark one. Did I kill her when I attacked her? I do believe I may have, as it was very easy to read her thoughts. Her name was Denzel."

[Walter Grace]

"And you know that I can do that." satan smirked, sitting up more, listening to the man speak of Walter's loved one.

"She is alive and well, thank you." Walter raised an eyebrow. "If you think that I care who she is and what she is called you are mistaken."
