Salem and Ivy

Salem walked casually towards a lone kitsune with a wide smile on her face. She stopped in front of her and stared at the Kitsune who had quickly stopped moving forward. Instead, she moved a few steps back. Salem spoke to her in a cool and confident voice as she slowly moved forward.



"Isabell, whatever are you doing here?"

Isabella quickly got ready to fight if she had to, she kept her eye on Salem, not taking her eyes off for a second.

"Salam. Just tell me what you want then leave me alone. I'm no threat to you."

Salam laughed and stepped closer. With a quick wave of her hand, a large black barrier rose up from the ground.

"Simple, I want you. I decided it is about time I take your spirit orb and claim it for my own."

With that said Salem clicked her fingers and Ivy stepped out of the shadows and into the barrier. Isabell readied herself, she knew she couldn't beat them both but she had to try. She wouldn't let them have her spirit ball without a fight.

"Are you too afraid to fight me one on one Salem?"

Salem laughed and slowly stepped out of the barrier and watched from outside.

"Who said I was fighting you? No, Ivy doesn't need my help to take you down."

Ivy rushed forward to strike at the kitsune but Isabell quickly teleported away. She reappeared at her side and shout a powerful Fire Blight magic blast at her. Ivy deflected the blast easily with her wing before turning around and stabbed the ground. Vines shot up in seconds to grab Isabell but she used fire embodiment magic to escape.

"Not bad but you will have to do better than that if you want to survive."

Ivy began to glow with a dark red aura. Her sword shortened to a simple short sword then she teleported and reappeared behind Isabell who raised her tails to block the incoming sword attack. The sword became transparent and went straight through the tails before becoming solid again and striking her back. Isabella screamed in pain and quickly teleported away.

"That was a cheap trick, it won't work a second time!"

Ivy laughed and held out her hand.

"I don't need to. I have just infused my dark aura into you which means, I control you now!"

Ivy clenched her fist and Isabella screamed, falling to the floor as the dark aura inside of her flowed through her body and caused her immense pain. With that Salem walked up and grabbed the kitsune by the neck and began to search for the spirit orb. The spirit orb was disguised as a simple Chinese bell on a long red ribbon. She threw Isabell to the side and laughed.

"You've lost. From now on, you work for me."

Salem held out her hand and infused dark magic into the spirit orb. Isabell screamed loudly as her form began to shift and change forcibly turning her into a one-tailed dark fox. With that Salem threw the spirit orb in the air and shot it with magic. The spirit orb disappeared and with that Salem walked away with Ivy and the dark fox following.

Back in the Land of the Dead, Salem had gathered Ivy, Prim and Oshikuru together in a meeting. The dark fox sat beside the three staring at Salem as she tossed the spirit ball back and forth from her hands. It spoke telepathically as it watched. 'Can you please not throw my spirit orb like that. If you drop it it will be seriously fatal to my health' Salem laughed loudly before throwing the spirit orb and this time letting it fall towards the floor. Seconds, before it smashed the first quickly, used its telepathic powers to levitate the orb and save it last minute.

"See Isabell, even if I did drop it, you were there to stop it from smashing. Do you really think I would let such a useful little pawn like you go? No, not yet. You have a long journey ahead of you."

She stood herself up and spoke again.

"Julia is getting close, she almost has everything she needs to do the summoning, so I think before she gets a chance to bring in her little pawns I think we should bring some of our own in. They will be useful and help us achieve our goal much faster. Prim, Ivy, Oshikuru, have you three gathered the materials I requested?"

When all three nodded their head Salem smiled. In that case, they were ready. She walked over to a large cliff which had a wonderful view of the Land of the Dead. There was plenty of space here for her to do the summon. Quickly, Salem clicked her fingers and decided to check out the list one last time.

"Let's see....No.....no.......too boring......these ones will do."

Five files floated in front of her as she looked them over. They all seemed relatively powerful. They easily fit under each category, able to survive in the world, willing to work in a team if they had to and was willing to fight for their life. They would all be useful pawns for her to use.

"Raven, Orochi, Vergal, Orion and Serathea I summon you all to the world of Azroh!"

The summoning circle glowed brightly, and soon enough a huge flash of light appeared. Soon after stood the five servants that she had chosen to summon. She checked them out slowly before giving a small nod satisfactory. The summon had turned out to be a success. She just hoped that these five servants of hers would not disappoint.

Prim

Prim on top of her two undead toys as they kneeled just so she could be at the same height as everyone else. While Salem spoke Prim was eating a decomposing lalafell brain. She watched as the fox tried to reason with Salem but instead Salem gave it a nasty fright. She laughed maniacally as she watched, her eyes wide. Secretly she was hoping the fox failed so she could see it die. When Salem asked if they had got all the materials, Prim quickly nodded. She followed Salem while taking another bite from her brain food. She smiled wildly as she watched her perform the summoning and seeing the five servants appear in front of her. Looking at them all with her magic sight she could see one of them was a cambion while another was an inumimi demon. Then there was a wraith, beside him was a dark elemental dragon. Then last but not least was a dragonkin. They were all pretty interesting choices. It was a shame she wasn't allowed to turn them into toys, they would make such wonderful toys. She took another bite from her brain food before holding it out to them all. "Do any of you want some? I have plenty back at home."

Orochi

Orochi wandered slowly around with Maru hanging over him as he walked constantly looking over his shoulder for danger. It was when a flash of light blinded him and Maru that he suddenly disappeared. When the light faded away Orochi wasn't where he was before. He looked around to see four others lined up on either side of him then he looked at the four people in front of him including a large snake. One of them was eating a decomposing brain and offered them all one. He stared at her before looking to the obvious leader who stood beside the large snake. "Where am I and who are you?" Maru looked around before taking notice of the summoning circle on the floor. He looked back up to Salem and spoke in a hissing voice. "Why have we been summoned?" Orochi could sense that whoever these people were they weren't enemies and had no intention of killing them, at least for now.

Vergal

Vergal was chasing his prey as they ran away, they thought they could hide but everyone else had died. With each stride that he took the closer he got to his food. His pride wouldn't allow this meal to get away from him. He rushed forward and grabbed him then immediately began to suck out his soul. As soon as the body became limp he threw him down a hole. It was then that he disappeared and was summoned. He looked around before taking notice of those in front of him. A dark angel, a Rakshasa, a human witch and then what appeared to be a human but not quite. He watched as she offered him some sort of decomposing brains from what was once a living creature. He then turned to look at the others on either side of him. There was a cambion, a demon inumimi, a dark elemental dragon and a dragonkin. It was the demon inumimi and his snake that asked the important questions. There was no point in asking the same questions just to get the same answer so, for now, he looked to Salem and waited until she answered the questions that had already been asked.

Jackie Violet

Jackie walked slowly with her two guns at the ready. She looked around and quickly shout the light bulb in the lamp post before spinning around and shooting another, creating a perfect realm of darkness. She looked around before The Darkness emerged from her shadow. "Jackie......Jaaackie. It's feeding time. Go, GO!" Jackie walked slowly before closing her eyes, focusing on the dark realm. She cast her mind out until she found a victim walking under the street lamps. "I found someone." She sunk into the darkness and appeared out on the side of the lamps in the cover of darkness. She held out her hand and the light bulbs exploded. As soon as darkness ascended The Darkness screamed in victory. It rushed forward and with it's teeth baring ripping right into his chest. Then his second head grabbed his leg and threw him into the air before the two heads ripped him apart and ate him. That was when there was a flash of light and Jackie was teleported. She looked around and a moment later The Darkness came out of her shadows once more and looked to Salem. "Speak your name. Who are you?" His red eyes gleamed in the darkness while Jackie stayed quiet. It could sense great power from Salem as well as her allies. It then looked around to see that others were stood in a line. A moment later it spoke once more. "I see....you've summoned my little host, haven't you? Why?" He laughed menacingly as he waited his answer.

Raven

Raven was in a forest not to far from an open field where the Neko and Inumimi army’s where having yet another bloody battle. Raven was using her magic to cloak herself and mask her life signs suppressing her magic aura so she wouldn’t be found out. Raven always showed for every battle they had eating the souls of the recently deceased was the easiest way to get a meal and the only way she didn’t have to make the effort to actually catch and kill her own meal it was essentially her version of fast food where the meal comes to you. Just as Raven was enjoying her meal there was a bright blinding light then suddenly she could no longer sense the immense amount death and suffering from the battle and as she opened her eyes she immediately saw why. She has been summoned to another to well she didn’t know where but she could no longer sense the chaos from the battlefield so she knew she it was pretty far away from where she once was. A strange girl offered her some kind of rotting brains for a snack.

“Thanks since my meals was so rudely interrupted I guess I little snack wouldn’t hurt.”

Raven took a handful of braids and began Munching on the brains “I still prefer soul food but this isn’t half bad.”

After a quick look around at all those who had gathered she didn’t recognise most of the people gathered in fact she only recognised one person Orochi and his demon Sake Maru. Raven never formally met him but she had seen him around on her travels as she searched for souls to consume he happened to be a great source of death and chaos in their world. Raven looked to her summoners she could sense the power of the summoners their power was immense between them they had suck overwhelming might why would they need to summon her and the others. Whatever the reason she would find out soon enough but for now she would wait.

Serathea was flying around looking for somebody to kill. In recent times things have been boring. Everyone hid from her and nobody dared to fight her. She never really had any fun fights anymore. As she threw around in the air a bright light blinded her for a second then when she opened her eyes she was with a group of others. She looked around before looking at what appeared to be a human girl offering decaying brains. She looked to Salem who was the obvious leader and waited for her to answer the questions that had already been asked.

Salem and Ivy

Salem watched the summoned servants closely and only one of them asked where they were and why they had been summoned. The others just waited and listened for an explanation. She looked to each of them one more time then slowly stepped forward.

"Greetings, all of you and welcome to Azroh. This is the Land of the Dead and it is our domain. You have all been chosen by me. Who am I you ask? I am Salem and these here are my allies. Now as long as you haven't been walking around with your eyes closed, I'm sure you have noticed by now cracks have been appearing everywhere. Not just in your world, but in all dimensions, all through space and time. If left unchecked these cracks will destroy reality, your worlds will be gone and you would have never existed. Just in case any of you don't understand. You die. That is why I summoned you so we can prevent the death of all of us. You shall accompany me and we shall repair this world as well as all other worlds, making them how they should have been from the start. Does anyone have any questions before we begin?"

She would wait for someone to open their mouth then immediately spoke over them.

"Good. Let's go."

She turned around and walked off. Ivy followed her along with the fox. Salem had to make it clear that she was taking no crap from them. She was in charge and nobody else. They would listen to her or they would die. She would lead them back to the main chamber and sat down in her chair. She then waited for them to get in an orderly fashion so she could begin.
