Vaeril had learned nothing from listening to the group, from what it seemed they were too busy bickering amongst each other to have any real valuable information. They were not core members of the rebellion, or so it looked that way. They seemed to be mostly second-hand beings just joining to serve their own needs and one with a wish to kill him. He needed a way to get away from this group as it was meaningless to be with those that provide nothing of use.

He stopped in his tracks, stating, “I cannot carry on like this; you all can go on ahead, I will be fine but I do not want to hold you back any longer than I am. I will find my way to the port eventually.” He then removed Darius’s arm from his shoulders so he could lean against a tree. “You, Darius, can continue with the group or choose to stay behind with me,” Vaeril said, before putting his hand to his head sending a telepathic message to Darius, ‘This group is not what I am seeking. I need to find core members of this rebellion to provide information that will be more useful than the ones here. I want you to split off with me and maybe we can get some training along the way before we find another group.’ Vaeril leaned his head against the tree, looking toward the group ahead.

The night prior, Ezeri had managed to get ahold of a fairy fleeing Roshmi and “nicely” intimidate her into healing the demihuman male. He stayed unconscious for the remainder of the night, so she lugged him to a safe cave to sleep and decided to wait until morning to talk to him. She was first to wake up and went to work arranging breakfast for her, Melzor, and Anzu.

“Hey! Ezeri, when do you think that mut, inbred creature will wake up?” Melzor called to her from his spot as he lounged against the cave wall.

“Give him time, Mel. We will wait so we can see if he can move and if so we will leave. I don’t plan on staying... This place is so damp, disgusting, and cold for my taste. Maybe we will find someone who doesn’t try to kill us the moment they set eyes on us.”

” Aw but you don’t want to keep him as a pet? He’s more funny-looking than Anzu.” Melzor said with a cackle.

“Mel you should know I don’t make pets of sentient creatures.” Ezeri retorted coolly.

Melzor took a moment to catch on to her quip, replying,“I understand…. Wait, What the fuck did you just say about me?”

“You know I am joking, Mel, you're basically my best friend at this point, but seriously this boy seems distressed. He has been moving around a lot even in his sleep and muttering about something called Risa, whatever that is. I don’t want much more to do with him and his life.”

Shortly after their talk, Kyran had suddenly woke up, violently jolting upwards to a sitting position, “Risa! Where is Risa!? What happened? Where am I?” Kyran exclaimed in a panic.

“Settle down boy… You’re in a cave. I brought you here since it was the safest area outside the city. If it wasn’t for me, you’d be dead so consider yourself lucky.” Ezeri told him. She did not have much experience at being comforting, so that was the best he could get.

“I need to find Risa. She is my friend and we got separated. All I remember is that she was in danger when I blacked out.” Kyran told them, scrambling to his feet.

“Well I apologize but I am not here for a search and rescue and unfortunately I am stuck here in this plane for a week.”

The words coming out of this demon-like creature made absolutely no sense to Kyran. ”Plane? What?!” He repeated in confusion.

“I am not from here. I come from a place called Avernus.” She explained.

“Yeah! It’s hot as fuck there... lots of fire and molten rock more bearable weather than this shit place.” Mel interrupted the two.

“Excuse my friend there. That is Melzor; he is what is known in my plane as an imp. He tends to have a loud mouth and a way to get under your nerves quite often.

“At least I’m not a bitch,” Mel quickly retorted.

“Shut up and let him speak... As you were saying?”She returned her gaze to Kyran.

“Well I need to find my friend soon. She could be hurt or worse.” Kyran said, eager to move on from the idle chatter.

“You’re on your own. Good luck. We’ve done all we can for you.” Ezeri said as she packed up and left Kyran in the cave without another word, Melzor and Anzu following along. As far as she knew, he didn’t try to follow.

Vaeril had stayed away from the group and avoided talking for the most part during the morning, but this was all part of the bigger picture. He had a plan, though it could make others suspicious of him, he could use it as a way to help as he had watched many people die during the ball he hosted. He found his company to be rather cold-blooded as they had moved on quicker from the traumatic night than he had initially thought they would. Vaeril had finally decided to get up from lying down all morning to join the group. He had decided it best to sleep in and gather his energy while getting to skip all the small talk. However, it was best he’d prepare himself for his little charade.

He emerged, stumbling, with tears dripping down his face. It helped that he had seen the looks of traumatized men who had lost everything more than he was willing to bet anyone in Avalia. It was child’s play to mimic the look.

”Darius!”He called to him. As he got close enough, he handed Darius a half drank bottle of mournwine and crumbled down to the grass. Doing a quick scope of the group that had looked like the quick glance of a traumatized man to the eyes of others, he noticed that another winter fairy had stumbled their way into southern Avalia. Vaeril found this quite intriguing when regarding the mere rarity of the race he’d be joined by not one but two of them.

“Ooh...Good morning. My humble apologies for sleeping in. It was a big night to take in. “ He tried to smile through dried tears and then turned his head to Zephyrin. “Hello there. It’s nice to meet you. My name is Vaeril.”

He had not spent much time with the group but it was clear their opinions of the revolution were contradicting each other. He was not sure yet if they’d all stay together or if they would somehow be bound together towards a common destination. “I think it’d be wise to create even more distance from Roshmi, yes?” Vaeril seemed to have little concern for what they had previously been discussing and had interrupted it with his words. With a shaking hand, he leaned against the tree, struggling to get back on his feet. He looked to Darius for help. “I am so sorry I am like this I am making a fool of myself, could you please pick me up and maybe grab me something to eat?”

Ezeri sat around a small campfire she had made in the woods. She had not been in Avalia long, only a few hours at this point. She sighed and looked over to Anzu and Melzor, “So this place doesn’t seem so bad.” She said as she turned the meat that had been cooking on the fire.

“Well, maybe but it’s boring as fuck; all we’ve been doing is sitting here. When are we going to see some action?” The little imp said in reply.

“Well, we should find some other intelligent life so we can get a grasp of where we are; this place does seem interesting enough to stay for a bit. You are too hasty Mel.”

“Oh sheeeit you hear that! Ez sounds like something’s coming for you... dun, dun, dun. get that stick out your ass and get ready lady.” Mel laughed as he said this but he was serious about hearing something.

”Shut the fuck up for a second and maybe I can Mel.” She said before unsheathing her sword and listening. The sound of fast incoming footsteps could be heard and rustling bushes. ‘Two...no four. The creature is a quadruped’ she thought to herself. “Mel, Anzu go hide this one could be dangerous.” she told them in a demanding tone.

“I have seen demons who could wipe their ass with you; I doubt something from here is that scary, but I will oblige.” Mel said as he grabbed Anzu and flew up into the trees.

From the forest came a wild mangy-looking black fox and charged at Ezeri. She grabbed his head, using Kyran’s momentum against him, pushing his head into the dirt.

” There’s your intelligent life, Ez!”Mel exclaimed with a chuckle.

” Seriously this is not the time Mel!” She yelled at him.

Kyran got up and turned around lunging at her, “Ì͎̲͒͡ͅ H̜̱͗̈͑͐͜͢U̻̐N͙̳̿̆̾͟G̨̩̪̎̃̈́̅̌͟͟E̬͉̮̣͌͛̏͝R͉͛ I̧̫̠̗͋͂̌̉ ͘͢W̱͍̭͈͆̅̏̉A̡̭̾̽͗͜N̦͗T̖́ ̠̮̳̅̃̚T̠͎̲̋̋͞O̞͕͛̃̈́̿͢͟ F͕͓̱̫̌͆̎̎E̳͊E͔͓̼̳̋̇̅͐E̙̩̿̈́D̗̜̈̚!̜͗”He growled.

Ezeri grabbed him mid-lunge and as she did. She used her planar travel to drag him to Avernus. The land beneath them was rocky and twisted plants rose up from the dirt. A snake slithered nearby as the heat of the lava brushed against the skin of the pair. The two clashed under the dark red sky for a few moments, dealing multiple blows from Ezeri and bites from Kyran to each other in the fiery war-torn battleground. Ezeri slashed her chain sword which was alight with flames as it viciously slapped into Kyran’s fur with a force comparable to the blazing fireballs above them. Kyran roared out in pain and lunged at her with a furious swipe, shoving the horned girl down into a rock harshly. Luckily, she soon was back at her feet slashing at the fox but he began to accustom to her moves, swiftly dodging and hopping over the chain as it reached out underneath. Ezeri decided a sudden switch might catch him off guard.

Once again she dragged him to another plane of Baator, Styigia, a frozen wasteland. Kyran had looked around but quickly took some distance from Ezeri to take in the new surroundings for a slight moment. They were standing on thick ice for all he could see for miles. The sky was black as coal and the only color that lit both the sky and the ground up was the consistent flashes of lightning. Ezeri did not seem to mind, running at him with impressive speed and jumping into the air to come slashing him down in between the breaks of lightning when Kyran could not see her coming. Kyran growled and slipped down against the ice.

Ezeri smirked down at him, circling around him. The lightning flashed again and Kyran was missing. She blinked and looked around wildly but it had grown dark again. She guarded herself and gripped the handle of her chain sword only to be tackled down from behind by thick, furry paws. Teeth sank into her shoulder and she instinctively plane shifted them once again.

They finally returned to the wooded area of Avalia, which surprisingly enough also had a sky with lightning flashing above them. Thunder boomed as she swung her chain sword at his legs cutting them and tripping him. Kyran lost grip of her shoulder and hit the ground once again, where she finally moved toward him, blood pouring from her shoulder as she grabbed onto his skull.

Her eyes began to glow and her hair began to rise into the air with the flow of energy coming from her. “Calm down, be at ease.” She said in a warm comforting tone as she activated her domination ability. A bolt of lightning struck in the sky the moment she did so and what was once a beast was now more humanoid with light skin and orange hair with large animal-like ears. They were both bloodied from their fight but Ezeri was still able to move and walk which couldn’t be said for the unconscious Kyran who laid on the forest floor.

“Woo Hoo! You beat up another poor creature, look at you Ez.” Mel said sarcastically and laughed.

“Let’s go.” were the only words Ezeri said in reply as she picked up Kyran in her arms; she didn’t have much strength but the adrenaline was enough to carry him for a bit at least hopefully long enough to find someone who could help them heal their wounds. “We will follow the tracks where this one came from.” Ezeri suggested.

“As you wish, miss Ez.” Mel said in return, picking up Anzu and flying close behind.

Aklenroth was enjoying the chaos, losing Xenelith did not bother him as he could easily be replaced by Kol. They were all just pawns to him in the scheme of things. Living as long as he did had made him lose attachment to those around him. He watched many die and their foolish attempts to attack the demon, unknowingly shortening the doom that awaited them.

‘I guess this is my queue to get amongst the rabble.’ He thought to himself as he jumped from the balcony searching for a group he could infiltrate

“Help! Please help! I need some help!” He falsely claimed as he began to fake a limp in his step. He approached an ice fairy, an elven woman, and Darius. He knew Darius would go along with the scheme, knowing who he was.”Please may I go with you it will be safer to travel and go as a group but we really need to get out of here fast.” He said in a false and very deceiving worried tone.

Ahzmorath

Ahzmorath let out a loud laugh at the attempts of magic against him breaking the chains and taking the hits as if they were nothing. He swung his tail into the crowd which when it hit the wall made a very large hole. “I am tired of this; I will wipe you all from here and bring you into the abyss!” He roared, raising his arms in the air and began drawing in any light object into a hole that began to open in his chest as the seconds went on it began picking up larger and heavier objects.

Are you a loner or with a group? Have you always been in this place?:

Ezeri has always been alone only keeping creatures she has dominated as companions.

History:
Ezeri was spawned in the first layer of Baator known as Avernus. She lived with the other devils for a while, but she could not help but notice she was very different. She hated the way their society run and how the devils were always at war with the demons. She disliked living there and she decided to live elsewhere away from all the chaos. So, Ezeri used her gift of planar travel to go into a different plane of existence where she was the only being of her intellect. She spent a hundred years all on her own, enjoying the fruits of her own company with her abyssal chicken Anzu. Finally, she got bored and decided to check somewhere else out and teleported into Avalia without any information to the context of the war at hand.

Planar travel- This allows her the ability to travel between the many planes of existence including her home plane Avernus in Baator. When using this ability, if she is touching you, she can take you with her and she is then tethered to that person, unable to abandon them and they will travel to whatever plane she travels to until they are taken back to their home plane. She can only do this very sparingly, around three times every week. If she dies in a plane, then whoever was tethered her will be returned to their home plane. If she and the person tethered have too much distance between each other, they will also then be teleported back to their home plane. She cannot plane jump while another being is using magical attacks on her.

Kyran watched Risa give her speech and smiled. She was nervous at first but her passion lifted her off very quickly. The speech was beyond her years and she seemed grown-up. He did not think he could fall more in love with her but he did in that moment, listening to her. He was proud of how far Risa had come but the smile faded very quickly seeing Dionaea’s corpse cruelly displayed in front of Risa.

He fell to the floor as images of Dionaea flew through his mind. He had known her since they had been children and they had seen the best and worst of each other. As close as he and Dionaea had been, Risa and Dionaea had been even closer and it tore him apart for Risa to have seen that. Then things got even worse as he watched a figure move towards Risa and grab her. With further inspection, he noticed it was Elthrael. Rage filled every inch of his being and then pain stretched all over his body as he had started to become something else.

His body shook and contorted as he gripped his head. Fur started to coat only parts of his body and his eyes started to change into a deep red glow. This was not his normal fox form; this was beyond the power that he thought he had, darkness clouded his thoughts as he began to lose himself. He yelled out in anguish and pain as his body began to morph.

“K̮̯͋̄IḺ̭̏͋̄ͅL̠̰̰̍̉̕,̰̫̼̤̍͆́̇ ̙͕̋̚K̻͙̦̃̑̚Ï̧͕͉̫̇͠͡L̲̳̄̒L̗͇͐͡,̖͈͇̤͒̓͛͡ ͖̬͖̖̠̊̓̿͛͘H̰̓A̘͛T̫̰̈́̆E̪̹̓̍,͈͚̊̇ Ĥ̩̿ͅÄ̢̦͙̋͋͘͜TE̢͞ ̢̀I̡̛̥͍̞͑̍͘ ̖̯̖͒́͘W͕͓̿͛IL̖̲̉͒L̡̦͇̻̮̋̋̔́͝ ͕͙̗͙̻̊̎͗͊̓M͓͉̽͠Á͇̬̟̲͊͆̕K̨̭͔̝̔̃̈́̅È̻̲̳͚̓̓͝ ̨̹̳̠̠́͐̈́̃͡TH̯̟͚͈̆̀̐͝E̼̰̐͝Ḿ̗̟͈̽͒ ̨͖̪̝̼͛̿͝͡͡A͕͚͛͡L͍̘̞͐͊͑L̛̞̟̈́̈́͢ ̤̠̲̀́̈́Š̙̙͆U̺̙̥͖̯̇̂̕̕͡F̧̨̞͎̍̓̆͘F̧̮͑́̉͢E̮̩̍̑͞ͅR͔͐!͕͝”

Kyran was not himself, blind with an endless rage and hatred. He looked up at Risa only to watch her be swiped from the tree. Desperation filled him. He could not lose her now, not after everything. Kyran tried to give chase but as he got closer he lost sight of what he was doing there, nothing but animalistic desire and primal rage filled his mind; what was once considered demi-human was now only a beast. Kyran’s desire gave in when he smelled something else... The smell of meat cooking. That was when he turned and gave chase to find where this new scent originated.

Aklenroth had enough watching the dances but something surprised him when Risa had come on a hologram spewing a speech about the dark elves and freeing Avalia. It was moving and impressive from a child. He was a bit amused by it but then the scene changed to a young fairy hung up by vines and brutally killed in such a display; it pleased him to see the experiments that he had come up with were such a success.

After the holograms finished, he watched as Darius made an uproar which was quite amazing
how many foolish rebels and humans had revealed themselves after the fact. He felt Darius deserved a reward for this glorious display. Aklenroth then took this moment to move to the hidden back room to turn off the central magic inhibitor. Once finished, he casted a telepath spell and began speaking to Umber. “I have grown tired of this display against my will, lock down the area for the moment and tell Azriel to release Ahzmorath and alert Sakura, O’ner, Xenelith, Myra and Darius to stay away from the center of the ball area.”

"As you wish." Umber's tone was filled with amusement as the grand finale was on its way. Not only that, but he could feel his power returning to him. With a small twitching of his fingers, he created telekinetic barriers on the exits. Next was the warning to those Aklenroth wished to spare

"General Faister, Commander Dreadclaw, Sakura, Darius, Myra… move away from the center of the ballroom if you wish to live to see another evening. Now!"

Azriel had remained at the edge of the ballroom, just observing the crowd as they continued to dance. She wasn’t expecting the image of the fairy brat to appear and for her to speak of rebellion. She rolled her eyes and shook her head at the foolish girl, but couldn’t help wonder if her words truly would stir others. It was then that the image of the dead fairy girl appeared and Risa’s scream sounded like music to her ears. She looked over the scene and smirked as she wondered if Umber and Aklenroth were proud of their little creation. It truly was a beautiful scene.

Her attention was torn away as she heard a familiar voice speaking out and she looked to see Darius. Her eyes narrowed on him briefly, but then a grin appeared once more as she began to giggle. What was the clever human up to? It became clear, however, as others began to speak out and humans began to show themselves. How truly clever this human was. She then glanced up to see Aklenroth disappear from sight and she readied herself as she knew that the next phase of the night was about to happen and she had a role to play.

"You will release the demon on my mark, Azriel. I greeted these fools. Now it is time to bid them farewell."

Umber chuckled as he watched a group of guests hit his invisible wall at an exit.

"Guests! Guests! May I have your attention!" He had been loud enough to get the majority of people's attention. It would suffice. "Before we move onto bigger and better things, I would like to use this time to thank you all for attending this magnificent event! I would like to thank the staff for the arrangements. The cooks for the splendid food. And lastly, the rebels… who forfeited their lives for the throne." The elf form of Caius stiffened up before long black arms burst through his torso, causing blood to spew onto nearby guests. In swift yet grotesque moves, the arms tore the form of Caius away to reveal the large demon hidden inside. Umber floated the first moment he was released from the frail elf. Using his ability to speak within the minds of others, he targeted all in attendance.

"Whether in life or in death. ALL HAIL AKLENROTH!"

”Finally!” Azriel almost groaned, but excitedly flew high up above the crowd. She pulled out the crystal Aklenroth had entrusted to her and admired it for a brief moment. "Time for my speech." She said with a giggle before tossing the crystal into the air, towards the center of the hall before swiftly throwing one of her feathers at it. She hit with deadly accuracy and watched as it cracked and shattered, quickly backing away yet staying in the air.

As the crystal shattered, a DROM-like rift appeared near the ceiling. Fingers began to reach through, stretching and tearing it open further as the head of a demon peered through releasing a loud roar that sent tremors through the walls of the building.

“We are dishonoured, abandoned, rotting in the scum of damnation. For eternity we have been consigned to oblivion, pushed to the shadows of existence. The day Lilith returns, the sun will drown, the oceans will be scoured with blood, and the rise of the demons will come to punish your souls.” Ahzmorath spoke in a booming voice. He ripped his way out of the rift, dropping down to the floor crushing some poor unlucky citizens. The demon was large enough to take up much of the ballroom, the attendees practically mice under his feet.

Ahzmorath began swinging his arm down to scoop someone else as he did, he grabbed Xenelith who was unfortunately too close. Xenelith tried to fight back using his magic blasting at the demon’s face but his attempts were futile against a demon this large. Ahzmorath slowly lifted the dark elf to his mouth before dropping him and closing down on him, swallowing him whole. He then looked down at the rest of the screaming and terrified creatures. “Who is next?”

Ahzmorath

Avalia

Kyran and Risa

Risa had curtsied after bidding adieu to Cadence. She turned and glanced around the room, watching as the pairs disentangled themselves and gravitated back towards their friends. There was a rising fear in her that this seeming peace wouldn’t last long. The ball had been just an ordinary ball thus far and she knew deep in her heart that certainly was not the case. She took a deep breath, forcing herself to think as logically as she could whilst trying to ignore all the eyes on her. Kyran and Elsea would probably be worrying about her. She needed to find them.

It wasn’t long before her eyes set on the unmistakable fox ears and head of red hair. A smile stretched across her face and she gathered her skirts in her hands and hurried over to him. She gently tapped him on the back. He had been in the corner of the room. She wondered why he had not danced with anyone, but she decided against asking right away. Instead, she simply embraced him, happy to just have him alive. Risa wrapped her arms around him and gave him a tighter squeeze than usual.

Kyran held her, happy to see she was okay. All night he had stayed off to the side and watched that Elsea and Risa were safe while they danced. Now he could get to dance with Risa. He had waited for this moment for so long. “Would you like to dance with me miss Risa?” he said before he kissed her hand once they had stopped hugging.

She had buried her face in his chest a moment, taking her time letting go before she looked up at him as he kissed her hand, “I would love to, Mr. Kyran. “ Risa smiled and let him lead.

Kyran then took her by the hand and took her on to the dance floor. “You are so truly beautiful you know that right?” He told her while slowly dancing in a circle with his hands on her hips and staring into her eyes lost in the purple sea that they created.

Risa touched his cheek and rubbed it with her thumb, “Only if you know that you are as well.” They continued to dance but she was as lost in his eyes as he was with her and the two ended up falling into silence. She had not really stopped and faced how she felt about Kyran before but things felt different at that moment. Dionaea was no longer here and he was all she had.

After a few minutes, he leaned for a kiss closing his eyes before his lips touched hers. There was no promise of tomorrow anymore and he was tired of waiting.

Risa was slightly surprised by this move she kissed him back and wasted no time pulling him closer to make the kiss last. Once they broke away, she didn’t let go of him and stared at him, letting him speak first.

“Risa I love you I have always felt this way. if we can make it out of this I want to be together with you.”

Risa stared at him and smiled warmly. Had she been blind this whole time and not noticed how strongly he felt? Dionaea had always joked about it but she never thought she’d hear those words. Before she could even take it in, her heart spoke for her, “I love you too Kyran. Me too. We will make it out of this.”She took his hands and squeezed them, “I have faith.”

As much as they both wanted to stay in the moment, it could not last too long as they both knew the plan was to leave early. Kyran led her to the side and began leading Risa to a side door they had been hinted to look for.

Kyran was not given much time to think when a piece of paper was placed in his hand. He watched a faun go up to Risa and Elsea ended up with another demi-human, noting to keep an eye on them in his head. His paper went up into the air on its own accord, turning into a paper butterfly and fluttering in one direction. Following the paper, he found himself in front of a girl in a floral-printed, elaborate robe. He could tell by her scent that something was off. He had smelled demons before and she reeked of one. He did not like the idea of dancing with her but he would put up with it. “Hello, you must be my partner.” He greeted her, reaching his hand for her to take.
