Snow Queen

[sofia]

OOC: Since I cant remember where I left off and havent had a outlet of 'Sofia time' in ages. (MY BRAIN IS FULL OF STUDYING AHHHHH!!!) I feel i will just have to start from scratch and HOPE that I keep up with it like on CR. anyways glad to see you guys! ^^

She sat in fornt of her mirror for hours watching the swirl of mist rise and fall into nothingness. She took another long glup of wine as it bit into her throat. She sighed and let the weathers cold seep into her already cold and broken body. She stood and droped the bottle as she waved her hand. She was so tired and alone. She arched her neck and placed a hand on the mirror. "Do as I say and do olny that, Take me to Hell where I will never want to look back." The mirror glowed and soon Hell apeared and she gave a soft smile as she passed threw. Mirage clasped to her wasit.

[sofia]

She clasped Mirage to her side as the last of the soft blue light vanished. She hugged her shoulders as the snow and icy wind slammed into her. She shivered and wrapped her wings around her like a cloak to protect her. She slowly treaded through the thick snow in her bare feet. Her soft white skin turning a pinkish color. She shook her head as the wind blew her hair in her eyes. She cupped her hands and made her way slowly, trying to warm her freezing body.
As Sofia walked she tried to think of why she was put though all this punishment. She remembered that she was kind when she was human, never greedy or hateful towards others. The only evil thoughts were saved for her husband. She glared at the heavens as if he were mocking her. She barked her teeth and continued to walk. When she was sent to Hell, she was only in pain. Blood, torture, and misery was all she knew. A shiver spawned up her spine as she pushed the memories. She then smiled as she remembered her chance of salvation came, in the form of an angel. She guided her to heaven and what seemed like home. But the other angels shunned her thought her pitiful. Then she fell to Hell and wonder into the devils hands. He showed her how to let loose her angry and gain control of her life. But she knew angry never solved any of her problems. Never once made her really happy. So she left Hell back to heaven. But for her one out let of negative energy, gave the angels the opportunity to kick her out of heaven for good.
She laughed at the memory of her trail. God was not present, he never meddled into angel affairs. She glared at them all as they called her out on, the charges of betrayal and position of an evil soul. God forgive her she called them all out. How they felt they were the best thing in the whole damn world. She let out her emotions that were bottled up for years. Never giving hope when it was needed or blessing the helpless. Only the ones that adorned them with praises. They never understood hardship and pain and how hope was so little in the hands of the weak. That’s when they banished her and forced to leave and not turn back.
She looked up at the darkened sky and shivered again. She remembered the night she waited for her Father’s star to give her hope and it never came. With that she was forced to hide from the world alone. Everything she stood up for was broken in her mind and heart. All her fears turned to rage. She came to the castle and met with Lucifer again. He made promises as sweet as they were he couldn’t say no to him. She wondered then just how could the darkness could feel so right? But it did as it traveled through her and made her what she was.
No. That was a lie. She knew what made her feel right. His eyes, his arms around her, his pardiase made her happy and whole. He made her feel protected. But he was not with her. Gone. Away for the monster she was. She slipped and fell face first into the snow. She whispered softly, not realizing the tears burning her eyes. “…Loki…” She tried again. “LOKI!” She looked but he did not come. Shutting her eyes she forced herself up and fell again. She watched the wind blow and closed her eyes. ‘No more Sophia… Let’s just end it here… No more pain, misery…let it all go. Then you will feel good enough. Good enough to pass on. No matter where it takes you.’ With that last thought she let the old take her. The wind blowing hair and feathers over her frozen body. "Loki..."

[sofia]

The perfect way to die. Its not hanging your life by a noose, slipping posion into your drink, or even bleeding to death by your favoite dagger. No, its the slient killer. When you close your eyes and just let go of your desitny. To let your being float to the sky to swim in a river of stars.
Sofia laid their letting the numbness eat at her body. She smiled as she felt so relaxed laying there frostbite toes and ankels, blue legs and arms. She swallowed and tryed to slow her breathing. If she was going to dye she be damn she was going to do it right this time. No hands coaking her to death. She gripped her crosses in shivering hands and said a last prayer and constentered on her heart beat. '1..2..3..4' She took a shallow breath and felt her heart beat slow a pace. '5...6...7...8' She bearly took in air as her heart was fading to nothing. '9.....10.....11.....' She looked up at the gray sky and wondered if she left where would she go this time? Heaven? Hell? She hoped neither, her story should end here. Her last chapter should fade like the stars in the morning dawn. '........' "Thank...you" her eyes closed and heart stopped. The silent killer. The perfect way to die.

[Ryan - Loki]

As if by magic, perhaps even classed as a miracle to some, the grey, snow filled sky suddenly caught ablaze, everything in the surrounding area except for a small circle around Sofia’s seemingly lifeless body burned relentlessly for several seconds before, just as suddenly as it had appeared, the flames vanished, leaving nothing behind to lay as evidence of their existence except the smoke that they had created; the surrounding environment wasn’t even slightly burnt.

It was unusual for Lavertia to become struck by a blizzard, but these freak occurrences seemed to becoming more and more frequent since Bedoe had become a frozen wasteland, but with the unexplained fire that had momentarily engulfed the area the land had once again returned back to it’s previous state, or at least the appearance it had taken since Dragonia’s destruction.

Since Dragonia’s destruction Lavertia had taken on the previous appearance of it’s neighbouring country Bedoe, while Bedoe had slipped even lower into an endless winter. Instead of the lush landscape, the fresh-water rivers and natural lakes that once spanned across Lavertia, the enriching the soil and keeping the flora across the entirety of the country, the constant gentle breezes that darted across the landscape, ruffling the branches of the ancient oak threes or the rolling fields of endless grass that covered the horizon, everything was dry and dead. There were gaping gaps in the mountainsides and the ground that spanned the country showing that Earthquakes had truly destroyed this land and robbed it of any lasting beauty that may have survived the end of days.

However, the current state of Lavertia was little important when much of it was masked by the black smoke of an extinguished inferno, and through said smoke the silhouette of a figure slowly emerged and advanced on Sofia’s body. Knelling down the silhouette, who was not as much a silhouette anymore but a shadow shrouded in the smoke, place a single hand upon her shoulder. “Sofia?” the voice was low and soft, yet it had an almost unnoticeable shrillness to it; I belonged to a man. “Wake up. You’re not dead, not yet. God’s are never wrong.”

[sofia]

Sofia didnt want to wake up; the darkness where she floated was warm and comfortable. But her chest burned and her heart was pounding n her ears. She shot up and took in mouthful of air as her chest heaved it in. Drawing in all the air she could. She was frantic as she held on to anything to control her breathing. Her hand held some warm leather. When she had calmed down she cracked open her eyes only to squwwze them shut as the bright light burned them. She eased her eyelids up again, squinting to let them adjust.
Her vision was fuzzy but started to clear as a form started to take on a human shape. She let her grip loosen and easied back down on to the cold ground. She looked around and whispered under her breath. 'where...' Panic rose up in her again as her body shivered. "not Hell again...no no..." Her breathing picked up as she turned to face Loki. She stopped and her eyes drew into him. She touched his face and pulled back. "Heaven?" Tears silently slid down her face. She sat up and wraped her arms around his neck and held tight as if he would disapear again.
"If Im dreaming let me sleep forever." She whispered into her shoulder. He smelt, felt the same and yet better. She closed her eyes and melted into his unique frame. She leaned into his hug, feeling the leather under my cheek and the warmth of his body. She drew a deep breath, held it, and let it out slowly. She then turned her head to the side and pulled back enough to see his face. That heavenly face that could scare anydemon a mile away. the face she had pictured a thousand times. The face she ahd growen to love. Tears in her eyes she looking up at him smiling. "I missed you..."

[Jimmy Claymore]

((OOC: First thread I came to, will post frequently now ))

Jimmy opened his eyes slowly and watched a single glistening flake land on his cheek, he sat up quickly and felt as it melted into a tear and rolled down. He blinked in surprise, was he in Bedoe?
"Hello?"
"What?" Grunted a snowy white wolf lying next to him, Jimmy leapt out of his skin then sighed in relief
"Oh, Osiris, you scared me..."
"Its not hard is it?" Osiris yawned lazily, Jimmy frowned, he was certainly grouchy today. Jimmy got to his feet and looked out, they were clearly in a cave of some kind and some variety of ice had recently melted he blinked in surprise
"What's going on?"
"You were frozen, we had an apocalypse, Heavens saw no reason to give Demons an advantage of you so we were frozen through it"
"What? But all my friends..."
"Gabe's fine, just wounded and healing, Rizuk the Dragon is somewhere he was freaked out by the fire. Why do you care anyway? They barely noticed you were gone" Osiris yawned again and sighed "Sorry, I'm always grouchy after napping too long. Hyugare should be fine last I checked."
"Well... least Bedoe looks the same"
"This is Lavertia"
"Oh..." Jimmy's heart sank. Why did everything that happened to Dragonia seem to leave lasting damage? The whole planet was a mass of scar tissue. He took a step or two out of the cave and slid down the slope into a bank of snow. He raised his head and was followed by a yelping Osiris who he caught before he could fall off to badly
"I miss soil..." Osiris whined as he steadied himself.

As Jimmy and Osiris walked the devestated streets of Lavertia, Jimmy felt something amiss
"Hey, Osiris... where's my Demonic Energy gone? Even when my Other Half's asleep I can normally use some"
"You were sleeping a few minutes ago. Don't try too hard, it'll only end badly"
"You wanna see a bad ending?" a guttural voice chuckled. Osiris sighed
"What are the odds of this?"
"Pretty good since we were staking you out!"
"Ummmm, weren't you cold?" Jimmy asked, then winced, just great antagonise the demons. They might only eat him slowly...
"YOU are looking for an arse kicking"
"We're really not..." Jimmy gulped but was leapt upon by four rapidly moving dark green shapes. They looked like humanoid frogs with grotesque faces each holding a spear.

A thrust came in from Jimmy's face and he shyed out of the way, his Demonic Blood giving him martial arts knowledge he never earned himself. With a spin he kicked the monster away from him and into a rock crag, two other frogs lunged simultaneously, one tripped and fell but the other slashed quickly at Jimmy's back. With a speed most would envy, Jimmy drew his sword from its sheath and the blade blocked the spear. Jimmy quickly drew the whole blade and slashed at his enemy, sending them flying backwards. He hastily spun around and slipped on the ice, saving himself inadvertently as a spear sailed past where his head used to be. Jimmy used his low position to successfully boot the third frog in the stomach and knock them into the air. He panted as he got up, he was still stiff and they were really good. He looked around and saw the fourth frog chanting a spell. Unexpectedly, the monster sprinted at him and kicked out, Jimmy tried to block but the foot hit his sword hand and the Sealed Sword span away narrowly missing Osiris. Jimmy had little time to react as he drew a fist back a palm strike hit his face and sent him flying backwards. Jimmy landed on his feet but slid due to the ice and crashed into a wall, he groaned as he got up and the Frog laughed
"YEAH! These new acceleration pulls are great"
"What? That's cheating!" Osiris snarled as Jimmy got up and glared with his crimson eyes at the Frog
"Whatever wolfy, I need to eat, looks like the Human's gonna be the main course"
"Heheheheheh, idiot..."
"Something funny, human?
"Whoever said I was human!?" Jimmy's grin had been ecclipsed by his Demon side and his aura exploded into the crimson of his 25% form. Before the Frog could respond a flash of black hit him, he blinked in astonishment when a fist hit him firmly in the stomach and launched him skywards. Still gasping for breath, Jimmy raised a hand and there was a sudden screech of red light and black lightning as he chanted a simple name for this Demonic Energy[glow=black,56,300]"Teryudan"[/glow]the energy exploded upwards and there was a crimson explosion as the Frog was hit by the force.

Jimmy sighed and his energy faded, he smiled at Osiris openly
"Hey Osiris! My Energy came back, looks like he woke up just in time..." Jimmy suddenly realised that he'd just killed the Frog monster and turned very white. He scuttled over to a snow drift and unceremoniously vomited into it. Osiris sighed
"You actually looked cool there for a moment... and well done, your 'demonic energy' just told everything here that WE are here, even if they can't sense energy. I mean for goodness sake, Jimmy that was a miniature SUN"
"Oh... sorry... I'm still kinda amateurish at this whole scene-" But Jimmy's humble rant was cut off by him suddenly feeling a surge in his mind
"AHH! There's something here... so much Demonic energy... who?" Jimmy wheeled around in fear, what was that...

((OOC: ahhh, feels good to post... he actually sensed Loki with that in case your curious. Oh, and if you guys dont want me here I can move if you like )

[Ryan - Loki]

(OOC: Get out our thread!!! Heh, only joking dude, It’s fine, glad you’re back! I’m sure Sofia doesn’t mind either.)

Loki continued to glance down at Sofia as she suddenly awoke from her slumber once more; it appeared that she had barely escaped deaths grasp. After a brief moment of uncertainty from Sofia, her senses needing a few seconds to regain themselves from the entire situation, she finally seemed to get a grip on what was going on round her, what had happened and exactly who had found her, or perhaps even saved her in this case. These factors seemed to please her, especially who had saved her.

Sofia’s sudden shows of affection took Loki by surprise, despite his egotistical nature, however he showed none of his emotions; for once. “This isn’t Heaven.” Loki answered to one of her questions, as she wrapped her arms around his shoulders. “It aint Hell either, but it’s closer to the latter…” It was at this point that the smoke from the earlier flames, which had been caused by Loki, had finally started to clear and surrounding area began to protrude from behind the Smokey veil.

“Missed me? No one misses me, I’m a being with a heart blacker than the night. Anyway, you’ve had that scum Dimitri as company, right? I know everything, remember.” At this point Loki had released Sofia’s hands from around his neck and stood up, looking down upon her. “It’s fine, I don’t mind you having him as company…I just hope you haven’t got too attached to him, because he’ll be dead relatively soon. Well, lets just say in the near future anyway.” He couldn’t help but smirk to himself, the premise of killing Dimitri, of killing anyone of anything for that matter, brought a sudden rush of joy and excitement.

He couldn’t believe what had happened as he glanced about, his crimson eyes seemingly glaring at everything in their surroundings. “We’re in Lavertia, or what’s left of it,” Had he missed the destruction of the world why he was so focused on his own plans? This couldn’t be right, surely, there was nothing powerful enough to do such a thing so fast without Loki knowing about it. “in case you were wondering.”

Once again Loki’s eyes focused down upon Sofia. “How are you feeling anyway?”

(OOC2: I know I’ve not written anything about your post Jimmy, just couldn’t think of including any of it without Loki rushing off to investigate. But anyway, you’ve senses Loki, you can come to us after Sofia’s turn )

[sofia]

Her whole body seemed to grow ice cold as she stared into his emotionless face. A hard lump formed in her throat that made it hard for her to breath. He’d forgotten about her. The thought stopped all her tears as she tried to think of a reason why he would… ‘Monster! Witch! Queen of the Devil!’ The voices in her head burned her ears as it soon sank in. What she was, hoe could she have been so stupid to think this man, no God would want a broken angel.
“Missed me? No one misses me, I’m a being with a heart blacker than the night. Anyway, you’ve had that scum Dimitri as company, right? I know everything, remember.”
She held back her anger to shake him, strangle him even. He knew nothing she thought bitterly. God or no God he could see the deep feelings she had for him. Did not see how she wanted nothing but to be by his side. How she trapped herself in that prison of a castle thinking of nothing but him. Damn him to Hell. Her anger soon floated away and the darkness moved in. Dimitri was what she thought a great help to her. He seemed to show that he cared for her. She almost thought him as a son, she lost.
“It’s fine, I don’t mind you having him as company…I just hope you haven’t got too attached to him, because he’ll be dead relatively soon. Well, lets just say in the near future anyway.”
She bowed her head as he pelted away her arms from him. Wrapping her arms around her shoulders and cloaking herself with her snowy wings. She shivered inwardly as his coldness touched her heart. This wasn’t the same man who held her and promised to protect her. She turned away from him as she let the feeling of her brainlessness kick in. It was stupid for her to fall in love. No one loved her… not truly and not without a purpose. Why did she not see this? Maybe she didn’t want to face the truth, diving into the feeling of safety blinded her sense of judgment. Stupid naïve angel she was. Clasping on to Loki like a lost puppy. He didn’t need her. He could have any woman, anything he wanted. But he would never allow his heart to be touched.
In a firm and quiet voice that didn’t sound quite like her own she finally spoke. “I never questioned you power, my Lord Loki.” She knew addressing him formally wasn’t necessary but it kept herself from asking the thousands of questions and tears from spilling out. She gathered her dress and slowly stood. She turned away from him and looked over the once beautiful forest and countryside of Lavertia. “Thank you for your help, my Lord. I owe you everything.” What he didnt know was that he had everything to begin with. She took in a ragged breath and tried to gain some inner strength. “I know where my body is now. I should have known when I awoken. This land ties me down forever pulling at me.” She couldn’t look at him. She was even to ashamed to glance at his boots. She dug her nails in her shoulders wanting to run.
“How are you feeling anyway?”
The question sounded forced as she closed her eyes and answered. “Better… my common sense intact I feel ashamed for my early actions. My apologies again, my Lord.” She took a step then another. In the distance she felt another soul and sighed. “You…you don’t have to force yourself to stay. I am really better. I understand there are more important things to be done then to tend to an insufficient child like me.”
Soon her heart won out as she turned to him slowly with a smile that didn’t quite reach her amber eyes. White tresses whipped in the wind as her lips were pink with worry. Then in a soft voice she whispered, “Thank you. For everything… Goodbye, Lord Loki.” 'I love you.' She knew this would be the last time she would ever see him again. She would find a new home. Refused to visit Hell. No matter what. Would never look upon his garden in Hell, and lock away her heart. Forever. With one long glance she turned as her hair felt in her eyes and started to walk away from him and her hearts fire.

[Jimmy Claymore]

Jimmy crept up to besides Osiris, the wolf had managed to reach this point far faster than Jimmy even with his warping technique. He looked over the rocks and swallowed awkwardly
"who are they?"
"I can't tell, that woman loves the man though"
"Really? Wow, does he love her back?" Jimmy asked. There was a long pause as Osiris merely stared at him in disgust
"This isn't a soap opera, you moron. No, he doesn't love her. I think he's the Demonic Presence you sensed earlier"Osiris indicated the woman walking away and Jimmy nodded. If he was the Demon then there was no point getting involved yet, Osiris followed her mutely and Jimmy warped himself to a rock closer to the 'demon'.

Jimmy peaked out over the rock and pondered quietly, what was it about this guy? He looked weirdly familiar but Jimmy could sense energy that was definitely not in the realm of a normal human. But he might not be aggressive, he could just be a normal person with a demon in him like Jimmy. Well, one way to tell... Jimmy's mind glowed and his mental powers reached outwards trying to touch Loki's mind and discover something but Jimmy never got there, he could feel the pure evil without even reading him. He stopped instantly and fell backwards with a crunch of snow. Horrified, he prayed that the demon hadn't heard him as he focused on being prepared to run if he had to...

[Ryan - Loki]

(OOC: Sorry it's taken me so long to get this reply up!)

Sofia had now stood once more, wrapping her arms and wings around herself, one would think to keep herself warm. Despite the raging inferno that Loki had unleashed upon the area some remnants of the blizzard that had almost killed Sofia remained, patches of snow scattered amongst the cliff side. “Yeah, it seems that this land is tied to us both.” Loki said in reply to Sofia. He didn’t often think about how much this land meant to him, not until it was too late it seemed. He had spent the majority of his youth equally just across the borders of Lavertia and Bedoe, and spent many long summer days on trips to their capital cities of Bereteca and Tristian.

“No it’s fine, I don’t need to leave,” Loki quickly commented. “and neither do you Sofia.” he finished, now talking to her back. “You see, not everything here is how it seems…” he was grinning, his crimson eyes glowing more and more with each passing second. “And soon enough this hell will end and all will be fine once more, only for a new hell to reign supreme!” a burst of flames instantly erupted around his body and the immediate area surrounding him.

“You will all meet your end! Each and every citizen of Dragonia! Every last warrior! And even this supposed ‘lord of hell’ Loki that you love will die and cease to exist…” it was as if he had suddenly gone crazy, speaking as if he wasn’t Loki, but it was much more than that. Loki’s voice was changing speed and pitch, suddenly speeding up and becoming really high, and then slowing almost to a stop and becoming extremely deep before returning back to normal and starting the process all over again. His image was flickering like a light that was losing it’s power, or a badly made hologram. One thing was for certain, whatever this was it didn’t seem to be the real Loki.

“We know everything about you all. All of your weaknesses, all of your strengths…we know how to destroy you. There will be no where to run, there will be no where to hide…none will escape the great purge.” and with that Loki’s body distorted its shape, blurred from vision and vanished with a crackling noise. He, or whatever it was, was there no more.

(OOC: Sorry but i have to get out the thread so I can set up the next stage of the saga! Confused about what happened in my post? Heh, all will be revealed at a later date! Keep writing though you two!)

[Jimmy Claymore]

There was a long pause as Jimmy very shakily poked his head out from behind the rock and hopped down to the scorched ground. He was shivering despite not feeling cold and he looked genuinely scared as he looked around for Osiris. Whoever that had been they sounded pretty... clinically insane, would be the politest way he could think of to describe them. He thought he could still the woman from earlier so breathed in deeply to shout when Osiris cut him off
"I don't believe it..."
"AHHH!!"
"That was Lord Loki, I'm sure of it... but his words and mannerisms were wrong... so wrong..."
"Ummm... you've met him?"
"HA! You give me too much credit... I have seen him from a distance, I resided in his level a long time ago..."
"Level?"
"... Never mind, hopefully you won't need to understand that ever. Suffice to say, it is an extremely bad sign"
"Oh... I'm even more scared now."
"You should be... is your Other Half saying anything?"
"No, he's still mostly asleep..."
"Good, I'm worried about what he may do..."
"Huh?"
"Nothing... that woman should still be here somewhere"
"Oh! Right, I'll go look... is she a Demon?"
"No, an Angel"
"Oh... she might, uhh... take badly to me"
"... what?"
"Nothing!" Jimmy said hurriedly as he started searching for the woman Loki had been speaking to.

((OOC: Bleh, sorry, I'm tired))

[sofia]

Sofia stopped and turned her head as he spoke of her home land. Nothing good came from this land. It held her, suffocating her from everything she wanted. Freedom.
She looked at him confused as he spoke. Something was a miss in his voice. ‘Everything’s… not as it seems? I don’t understand,’ she thought. She turned till she was facing him again. Her wings fanned out making her look a lot bigger. Confusion was written all over her face. This was not her Loki.

“You will all meet your end! Each and every citizen of Dragonia! Every last warrior! And even this supposed ‘lord of hell’ Loki that you love will die and cease to exist…”

She barked her teeth and twisted her hands around the mirror. Anger shone in her eyes, deadly enough to kill. ‘Loki needed her, before this monster ate him whole.’

“We know everything about you all. All of your weaknesses, all of your strengths…we know how to destroy you. There will be no where to run, there will be no where to hide…none will escape the great purge.”

As he disappeared, Sofia growled. “I have no intentions of running from you. I’m not scared of you! I will stand against you, even if it kills me, I will bring you salvation. Victory in the form of life.” Hot tears streaked her face as she dropped to the burnt grass. “…Loki...” She rubbed her eyes and stood and turned away. No more crying, no more doubts. She had a mission now. Save Loki, save himself, or die trying.

She staggered though the train and felt soul energy close by. Slow she pulled a bow from her mirror and pulled the string back, a single silver arrow appeared as she hid behind a tree. She started to hear voices.

"Nothing... that woman should still be here somewhere"
"Oh! Right, I'll go look... is she a Demon?"
"No, an Angel"
"Oh... she might, uhh... take badly to me"
"... what?"
"Nothing!"

She then stood out of her hiding spot and pointed the arrow at a man and wolf. “I think ill of stalker’s if that helps you.” She wore no emotion on her face. As she looked to the man and wolf. “What do you want with me?” There was a weird combination in the man. She held the bow tighter pulling the arrow back further.

(OOC: Dont worry im sooooooooo tired, i was going to stay up and wish Ryan a Happy B-day but, I was at a FOB concert and was dead tired but woke up early to catch a ride with some frieds. But whatever sorry to make you wait. ^^

[Jimmy Claymore]

Jimmy yelped and flinched as he saw the arrow draw back tighter
"See? She can't even see my eyes and she's already thinking of shooting me..."
"Stop being such a whiny little girl" Osiris barked as he took two paces forward and knelt "We apologize if our intentions were unclear, we have merely awoken at a strange time and wished to see what we could find out from this area..." Osiris looked back at Jimmy with one fierce eye and Jimmy quickly followed suit and knelt in the ground
"Sorry..." Jimmy got up first and blinked as he tried to think if he'd seen the angel before. She didn't look anything like Gabe or Vincente, or at least, she didn't look strongly like them. Jimmy didn't bother thinking that his bright red eyes would make it obvious he was part Demon and that, as she still had the bow out, she could just shoot him. He felt a pulse inside him and coughed unexpectedly as his Other Half woke up fully, he could feel the malicious spirit in his mind yawning and stretching imaginary limbs as it regained consciousness

What's going on?

Jimmy tried not to let his reaction show as the Demon saw through his eyes and chuckled quietly, a conversation with the two of them

An Angel? Oh Jimmy-boy, you have got great taste in women... Aren't you being 'watched' over by that blonde one?

Jimmy didn't answer, the Demon knew the answers, he knew what was really going on, he was just taunting and messing with him for fun. Jimmy coughed to try and not draw attention to his own look of worry and blank out the Demon's 'jokes' so he could re-focus on Sofia
"I'm Jimmy Claymore, and since Osiris thinks your an Angel I really hope you haven't heard of me. Oh, Osiris is the wolf by the way."
"And I talk"
"And he talks..." Jimmy added, although he was fairly certain Osiris' talking earlier made it obvious he could talk..

[sofia]

"See? She can't even see my eyes and she's already thinking of shooting me..."
"Stop being such a whiny little girl" Osiris barked as he took two paces forward and knelt "We apologize if our intentions were unclear, we have merely awoken at a strange time and wished to see what we could find out from this area..." Osiris looked back at Jimmy with one fierce eye and Jimmy quickly followed suit and knelt in the ground

Sofia’s eyes darted from the wolf to the man and soon loosen her hold a bit not backing down just yet. They seemed to being harmless. But she learned to never let your guard down. Her eyes widened as they knelt before her. She drew back a bit and lowered her weapon and listened to what they had to say.

"Sorry..."

She felt the shift in the man and gave a small smile. He had a demon within him. She bowed her head and covered her mouth to stop a laugh.

"I'm Jimmy Claymore, and since Osiris thinks your an Angel I really hope you haven't heard of me. Oh, Osiris is the wolf by the way."
"And I talk"
"And he talks..." Jimmy added, although he was fairly certain Osiris' talking earlier made it obvious he could talk..

She shook her head. “I can see that you friend can speak. I hope I didn’t scare you, this land is full of dangers.” She flapped her wings a bit and folded them back. “My name is Soul Keeper, Sofia.” She smiled at Jimmy. “You don’t have to fear you self with your demon. I hold my own.” She pulled her hair back from her face to reveal her tattoo across her face. Then she let it fall back. With a smile she stroked Osiris softly then nodded to Jimmy Claymore. “ We need to leave this place. Lord Loki has lost his mind.” She clutched Mirage to her stomach and Started to walk away. “I don’t know what to do but I know this is not like him. Well in a way but not to this extreme something bigger is going on and I will find out.”

[Jimmy Claymore]

Jimmy smiled at Sofia's kind words and tried to ignore the Demon laughing hysterically in the back of his mind at the idea of being compared to Sofia's demon, with many claims of how superior he was thrown in to the mix, although when she spoke about Loki the demon went quiet and Jimmy almost unconsciously reacted as if the Demon was trying to tell himself important for once and did a double-take over his shoulder, he tried to ask what it was but...

I don't know, but it bugs me that there was an apocalypse l unless Osiris lied to us, and now this Loki, who sounds like a Lord of Hell has effectively lost his mind and his nihilistic urges extend as far as himself. From what I'd gathered from the demons who could still talk after attacking us he was quite a narcissist, he wouldn't put himself at such risk. This might be important, a storm is brewing...

Jimmy had no desire to be involved in an enormous fight again and the demon sensed his discomfort, it sneered at his weakness but chose to stay quiet.
