Monarch of Darkness, Arsene

'Ya know it's not going to change overnight, right?" Lily remarked as I sat over the edge of a branch staring at Noctem, trickling away little by little, losing its internal structure as more time began to slip away.

I lifted my head over the horizon towards the cruel flames connecting from the skies to heaven and nodded. " I know, but I like to look." I softly mentioned, placing it back into my soul, a neutral zone, as Lily called it.

Releasing a long yawn as dawn began to rise, Ezra's alluring voice came my way, " Master, don't you want to know why they attacked you?"

"Do you?" I countered back, shrugging my shoulders. Ezra looked a little hesitant and nodded.

"Well yeah. Don't you think it was a strange leap from the Sects welcoming us with open arms to trying to kill us?"

"And that will change what exactly? Worse I find out the Court of Nox knows where I am and hired the Sect of the White Rose, or best case scenario. They got greedy and decided to silence me out of greed. Either way, I don't care." I casually said, leaping down to Iluthath, and flashed the little devil a known smile that made her cheek glow. "The Court of Nox would have to be extremely lucky to kill me."

"Like your daughter, you are prone to bad luck," Lily said aloud for even Ezra to hear. "But it's good to see where your son gets his arrogance. Shit is making sense. But do you realize there are objects on Iluthath that can mind fuck you? Just put a heartstone in that bitch, and boom, you're dead."

"The Hell!" Said Ezra leaping away like a cat in surprise. "What was that!"

"Hi! I'm Lily Von Doo—Snow, the baddest bitch. What is your name, and more importantly, is Arsene tapping that—"

"Ok, that's enough." I could only say stringently. " Jesus. Are you always so—"

"Awesome?" Interrupted Lily happily. "I'm a fucking boss! I'm the new devil on ya shoulders. With me by yo side, we are about to down a lot of bitches… me and you, Arsene, me and you!"

"Wow."

"I know,' I lamented to Ezra, who suddenly tilted her head.

"You misunderstand, master. I'm with her. Lily sounds awesome. Let's fuck right here, right—"

"Nope." Came a reply from above, drawing my attention upwards.

Space trembled and twisted, swirling into a vortex of oblivion, revealing Victoria's blood-stained robes. Her face was stained red, but my heart throbbed as she stared at me with a peculiar look. " I'll not allow such a thing in my presence. Why is it so hard for you to be faithful?"

*Cough*Cough "Well, not that it's your business. But this is not cheating… Its… it's training."

"Fuckboy alert. Bullshit detected!" Said Lily happily.

*Cough "I'm just making sure to give my wife the best I possibly can."

… Yup, this is a new low. Damn. God damn, this is shameless… I should have made the biology argument.

With an extremely cold look, Victoria descended to earth and folded her arms. " Is that right?" Her voice amused, yet, it held a venom I dare not touch." Even if that means the woman you sleep with ends up dead?"

Clearing my throat, I opened my mouth to speak and smiled as an idea popped into my head. "It's not my place to speak for woman, soooo, Ezra, why don't you take over."

"Coward," Lily chimed in with laughter. " But I like."

"You know what? We are getting so off-topic! Victoria, why don't you tell me how the conversion has gone? With me as the bridge, there should have been many more successes, right?"

"About five hundred out of the two thousand or so survived."

Clapping my hands together, I spoke."Great. Now I want you to rule this new White Rose."

"I don't understand," Victoria muttered, and Ezra nodded alongside her.

"Well, you, my darling, need something. You are one depressing person. I made you convert everyone because you have an attachment to the Abyss. I think it'll be a change of pace for you. These abyssal fiends will be yours and yours alone. I'll have no say in them, and that's a devil's promise. I just want you to start smiling. And if giving you a sect that can act like family to you will work, I'd do so."

"Ah, Gaaaaaaaay!!!!" shouted Lily sharply," Come on, let's go. No one wants to hear this feely bullshit. Time is booty, and booty is life! Let's go. Arsene, make a dragon of darkness and soar through the skies!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Who the hell is that?" Victoria asked with a twitchy brow. "And why does it sound like—"

"Don't worry about her." I couldn't help but say.

However, the dark dragon was a good idea. Why didn't I think about that… wait if Lily is connected to the twin's bloodline, doesn't that mean she has access to every skill an Abyssal Fiend has? Just how much information does she possess?

"I can't protect and run a sect. I've got a mission to…."

"It's an order. Have some fun. Build a family out of them. Although I'll say wipe their memories. You did just do to them what I did to you." I pointed out a little shamelessly, "And…." My hands danced through the air, forming a runic symbol that radiated the Divinity of Sin. "This will allow me to communicate and teleport to your side with a single thought. Don't think you can get away from me. I'll visit you quite a bit."

"Please don't," Victoria said, but I didn't even think she had noticed the lightning of her tone, carrying a hint of anticipation.

I smiled. "Call me if there is any danger you think can harm your family."

Victoria looked at me long and hard, and her head dipped slightly in recognition within a few seconds.

Waving my hand through space, darkness swelled with the laws of illusions draining my tank quite considerably as the image of a horned dragon that resembled Little Ty appeared.

Dark and scaly, with actual living tissue, muscles, and bones formed into a creature. I sucked in a long breath as sweat fell from my brow.

" Call me the second coming bitches. With a swing of my hand, I create life! … now would it be wrong to create a wom—"

"YES!!!!!!"
