Pleasure City of Dis

[Apollymi]

The nun placed the girl within her room and didn't manage to look at her even once. What she did look at, was the crawling boy on the floor. In looking at him, a gentle pulse left this nun in the magical sense. Doing so allowed her to know the truth of the boy on the floor. She knew exactly why he still looked so elated and why he was crawling along the floor like that. The next request from the girl as she settled into her room was that she have the boy on the floor. Did that contradict the orders Kolin had given... well, yes and no. "The Queen demanded that we keep you away from mediocre dick. That one... I am sure counts as terrible, not that I have experience in such a field. If you are sure... " she moved over to the lad and aimed to pick him up by the back of his collar. Watching him crawl was sort of gross. If she succeeded she'd have him by the scruff of his collar like a lost kitten and would gently toss him over the threshold of her room while standing outside of it. "You look like a strong girl... if you revoke his ability to stay... he'll be tossed out of this room without question. Do enjoy your stay... The men and women will provide you whatever you need and follow your orders without question so long as you don't try to leave," she said without making eye contact which the girl demanded. "And if you find that they cannot complete an order to your exact needs... you can call upon me instead, speaking my name will bring me to you in a short matter of time."

And with that she bowed out to return to the show of the throne room. What had Kolin done in the last few minutes? Well, she'd stared at this group of children from her throne. She'd talked herself both into and out of her current line of thought a couple of times. These kids could grow up to be more of what she wanted for this place. At the same time, they were currently a drain on resources that she didn't need until they got up and running. She'd been building this place for ages, she didn't like children and she needed the abyss creature to come to her and serve her. And she needed... fear. Yes, all of these kids appeared to be scared but she never wanted to look in the eyes of any of them and see the amount of resistance she'd seen in the eyes of Guin. Yeah, that was a no. She would make a statement here and now against this kind of rebellion. "Alright, everyone thirteen and older ten steps to the left," she finally said, pretty reasonably satisfied, by the action. And once there was enough space between them she looked at the younger children. Everyone left between the ages of 12 and infant. Oh that was the bulk of them huh? less than 300 children were thirteen and above. Over a thousand young kids were in this room and they were about to become the ground level for the queens newest member. As she made this decision in her head, the mark on the floor began to grow each of the children in that circle would gain a mark which made it obvious what she was about to do with them. "I sacrifice." she said of the entire group 12 and under. Each child in that age range would gain a strange looking mark on their neck as Kolin's own power and negative power called out to the Void for a demon servant to help with her current endeavors.

[Bloodedge]

Mediocre, huh? Why that mattered, didn't register at all to the girl. "Well I didn't say I wanted his stupid dick, did I?" she protested, though it seemed the lad was being tossed into her room by his collar anyway. She didn't care that there was a way to automatically remove this male from her room; she could obviously manage that without any magical mumbo jumbo. What she couldn't do, however, was call upon the nun if the other servants of this palace were deemed unfit. What even was her name? The girl heard it a few times by now, but it wasn't her concern to remember the identities of those who served that whore queen.

Speaking of those who served Kolin, over a thousand potential workers were met with a fate worse than death. With two simple words, Kolin marked every child under the tender age of 13 as fodder for her newest acquisition. Brands appeared on the victims' necks, and darkness erupted from the summoning circle in the throne room's center. Though many tried to run and escape after experiencing only the pain of branding, tendrils of shadow and flame-like energy reached out to the markings. An army of faceless demons spawned to consume fallen bodies, after already feasting on the souls of said vessels. Ah, the innocence of children─ it tasted so sweet to certain devils of the Abyss, but a sacrifice of such mass was grotesque enough to achieve a new tier of demonic summoning. The flames which spread from the magical circle became green over time, eventually spreading their ethereal glow to the entire throne room, and indeed all of Dis. A body was formed amidst mass carnage, death and absorptions. It was a male figure, bare as a newborn babe. This male had a runner's build, was just a bit tall, and boasted elven ears peering through long, dark green, silky locks of hair. He was quite the 'beautiful' entity for a male, angelic even in all aspects except... the eyes. Narrow, apathetic, and that same sickly green as the fires burning away remnants of fallen children─ these were the features of those orbs in his head. Oh, and that fanged grin of his was among the most unsettling things that could appear in this world; it belied a craving, a hunger that was simply incomprehensible to terrestrial beings. To top it all off, a pair of curved horns emerged from his crown as souls and lesser demon spawns were all absorbed into his person.

"Re ipaaeji al?" he spoke in a tongue which shook the palace, the city, even the entirety of this country. Yes, even his voice carried with it a power that sickened the weakest of entities. If those children weren't the sacrifice for him, their souls would have collapsed and been absorbed into him anyway. In fact, the less capable humans living within Dis were losing their mortal souls to him as he spoke─ many random additional wisps were brought into his being while he awaited his summoner's proper call.

[Apollymi]

Ah, yes, the screams of children. That was one reason to get rid of them wasn't it? Yes, in Kolin's mind the inconvenience of children was far worse than their screams in the moment their souls were used to create a demon. She watched the entirety of this without feeling an ounce of sympathy for the children. Even as the older kids looked on in horror. Some of them fell to it as well, some of them remained strong but seemed afraid. More afraid than they'd been of that Nun who gave them bad vibes. The scene of the throne room was absolutely terrifying. A sick smile appeared on the face of Beatrice as she bowed out of the presence of the girl chosen by Kolin for whatever desire she had for her. "Beatrice." she mentioned her name in passing, but there was some strange amount of power in that word. As if it was a tie or a noose, it tended to choke those who spoke it from time to time, actually it was a wonder Kolin called her by name so often. Most people referred to her as a Nun or the Nun in this case. Whatever it didn't matter... the screams of children.

She made her way back to the throne room to witness the birth of another demon in this world. Oh how easily manipulated this woman was. At this point, several more could have been called into the world and it wouldn't have made the slightest bit of difference because Kolin had called this one into the world herself. A chuckle escaped the woman after she'd gotten that girl settled and she watched from the Queen's side as a silky haired pretty man formed himself out of nothing. The first words he spoke were in a language unknown to Kolin. It seemed to shake the world at large, perhaps it was simply him speaking one of those languages of power. she'd heard druids had that sort of power over words sometimes. "Yeah, you're at like 10... I need you at like 3. Still you're quite pretty..." she said of the man who'd formed himself of the souls of children. Beatrice would be the one to speak. "He wants to know who summoned him..." she said in an off-handed manner. She looked upon this man with a smile on her face, those golden eyes of hers stoic except for a small wink, aimed directly at the devil. "Oh, I did. I summoned him. Can he speak the common tongue. I don't want to use a translator for this every time..." she said with a bit of annoyance. She had a deal to make with this newly formed demon. And she was herself immune to such corruption though because of her own blindness she also didn't see it for what it was. She basically didn't have the sense to fear what she'd done, but such was the nature of one such as Kolin.

[Bloodedge]

In this room, there were two who dared to gaze upon him. One was clearly far from sanity already, and the other was... "Iliioenj?" he questioned aloud. This word was a bit different from the others he'd spoken. It was, in fact, the true name of the existence he saw before him. Not only did the country tremble from this simple utterance─ the entire continent was in danger of being torn apart, if only for a moment. That look on her face told the tale, though. These pitiful mortals with their fragile plane of existence, they didn't even know what stood right next to them. What's more, it was one of them which brought him here, as opposed to his... kin. "Mjd ie, nh flvnji," he spoke further.

This being could not yet leave the circle he'd been brought through; there first had to be an arrangement that bound him to this world for whatever time he, and his summoner, agreed upon. So, it was the blonde woman who brought him into a body made of innocent youths? Good. He would always prefer if his leash's moral compass was a bit lacking. Now then, he had to be capable of conversing with this thing, didn't he? Raising his left hand, he appeared to be mimicking a grasp. Unperceivable curse energy was the method used to take his would-be master by her very soul, choking it as an almighty pull sought to bring her directly into the devil's grasp. Once he had her by the neck, that wicked grin of his would be pressed into her lips. The soul he held onto would be pulled from, sucked from her core until it traveled up through her throat. Eventually, it would pass into the devil himself. Once that was done, he spoke again without moving an inch, or even moving Kolin away from himself. "You prepare a feast for my kind. What is it you desire, mortal?"

[Apollymi]

Oh? He chose to address her directly? Well, that was fair, they were... similar existences after all. "Ambblpi." Such a strange word fell from the face of the Nun. Ah but what was this, the power of her name alone was enough to shake the continent. The power of his name caused a shake as well. How dangerous it was for this pair to speak in such a way. It would be Kolin's opinion that whatever language this creature spoke, the woman at her side also spoke. She made the assumption that all the shaking was due to the untamed power of the demon on the floor and not much else. Everything was fine, right? It wouldn't matter much at all that they could speak to each other in such a way, so long as everything she desired was taking care of in the meantime. He was quite right with that look, these creatures had no idea what Beatrice was... in fact, the only ones who showed any amount of distaste around the woman were the children, a lot of which were no longer a problem. The remaining ones, heard the words being spoken and were covering their ears barely holding themselves together trying not to run from fright. All frozen out of fear. They'd seen two things this day, this woman choosing one of their ilk for some unknown purpose. Then this same woman sacrificing all the small children just to summon a demon. What would she do to the rest of them?

Well right just now, an unknown curse was being placed. This one pulled Kolin from her chair and practically choked her. The amount of good that was to her, was far too high for normal understanding, but she managed to keep it together. Even as this newly formed naked man pulled at the depths of her very soul. What was this for? Well apparently so he could convert his conversation into one she understood. Oh, that was interesting, and kind of intimate. Whatever. He asked her a question did he, she'd prepared a feast for him so what did she desire? "I want a servant. Someone to replace the ones I lost and help me along my ascension. Take my orders, give me magical advice and conveniences, subdue or kill my enemies. Whatever I need at the time, regardless of the face I wear..." she said with all the haughtiness her person possessed. Yes, he was holding her by the neck, but again she hadn't the sense to understand the real danger here. She had a goal and he would help her reach it. This was all.

[Bloodedge]

This woman wanted a servant. Of course; there was hardly another reason to summon a resident of the Abyss. She wanted a replacement for those she'd lost. A foolish notion; there was no comparing the likes of mortals to one of his ilk. She wanted someone to take her orders, advise her magically, and slay her enemies. Oh... one of those things was interesting. In the history of this world, creatures of the Abyss had been called upon countless times for just as many reasons. Never had one returned to their home realm with stories of terrestrial beings they'd instructed. Regardless of what he thought about this curvaceous woman, at least one thing she desired was worth his interest. "You call upon me, forcing me to speak this guttural tongue... and I answer. Mai Animusphere has made sufficient sacrifice to deal with the Abyss," he said, speaking through an entity other than the Nexus when making something very similar in concept to this world's oaths. "This body will be sustained as long as I am to remain in this world. I will accept either the essence of mortals, or... I will do as the mortals themselves do, and syphon my master's energies. Whatever sort pleases you is fine, so long as the quantity is sufficient. I will also be taking what I require for my own satisfaction as this world fuels my experiments."

The devil released the woman's neck, but the grasp itself strangely went nowhere. In fact, his will alone would be enough to bring her to her knees before him. He knew of all she'd done through that first moment of contact, and he knew what such a position before a nude male meant for her in recent days. Alas, that had nothing to do with this. His power was crippling to mortals, and he intended to use it for the sake of subduing his 'master' as she would be called. There was one thing she needed to know when addressing him in future. "In your infant tongue, I am... Malleus Draconia," he said, speaking a name that had not been heard in this world for many millennia. "You will be my master. I will do your bidding, and you will serve my purpose as a link to this barren realm of reality. You will possess this form of mine in name alone, as your soul will be an object in my possession. If these terms are acceptable to you, mortal child, speak the words of binding."

[Apollymi]

This woman made her desires known in the moment and they were met by this man speaking once again. Oh, he really was now fluent in the language she spoke. That was good, but what was this... he worked through something not the world and not the Nexus? Well he did come from the Abyss. It would make sense if it was a separate entity all togehter. That was simple enough. Ah, but why did he know her name, not just her name, but the truest form of it. The one she'd abandoned long before now, disconnecting herself from her father and siblings as she obviously didn't fit their ideal. "How do you know that name? No one knows that name..." Oh, he wasn't really done yet. So full of words these last few men were. Even as he removed his hand from her neck she was left and forced to her knees. He was naked a this point, did he plan to take advantage of her? That was an interesting thought... Why did she like that as an idea? Obviously he was here to serve her, not the other way around. His words even agreed to it. So, why had her mind wandered so hard at the idea of it? Oh well, that was something to consider later. He'd do what she said, and she'd be his master. He'd take what he wanted as far as energy from her or other mortals... Okay. Well, that was fine. She could call him in name alone, and he'd use her to link himself to this world and take her soul. Of course. None of that sounded terrible. What use did she actually have for her soul regardless. She'd be a goddess again eventually and nothing would matter. And in the meantime she'd have everything else she wished for and this obviously powerful entity at her disposal. Did she care she was currently on her knees before this man? No... actually she sort of liked it there. Did she care what he wanted in exchange for his services? Not really, "I accept." Welp, this one wasn't made under duress but it was more connected to her name than even she'd give herself credit for doing. One day, she'd actually stop making promises on her own name, one day she'd realize what doing such a thing actually meant. But today wasn't that day. Today she was accepted a deal with a devil to further her own goals.

[Bloodedge]

How did he know that name? He knew everything he needed to. This woman's life ─ all of her lives ─ were all within Malleus' mind at present. Her every action, her every thought, her every emotion, could be viewed like a child's picture book. He even understood that she thought herself above repercussions in a way. Would swearing herself to the Abyss be alright, simply because she would eventually become a goddess once more? Sadly, no. The deities of this world were like queens to a colony of insects─ their titles meant nothing beneath the boot of a greater species. "What you have always been, is a lesser creature. What you will always be, in this life, is the same. There is only one way to be anything greater," he said. His hand reaching out again, Malleus decided to take her acceptance of their arrangement, delivering unto her his gift in a way her soul desired it. He could easily sense what occurred in the recesses of her mind, and his action would replicate that hidden desire while he spoke.

"Your soul is in constant torment because of your own decision to be an even weaker being. Shall I grant you the knowledge to know reprieve from insanity of the Void, my master?" Malleus asked. All the while, darkness seeped from the skin of his hand. It traveled a short path toward Kolin's mouth, gaining mass and girth as it slipped and pulsated down her throat. It would naturally enter her soul over time, but it seemed to be replicating something quite familiar to the woman in the meantime. Oddly enough, this ordeal would leave her with the ability to speak while it occurred. It was, after all, something that would only feel physical. "Give the order, human. I would so love to see what a true connection to the Abyss would do to you after your sophomoric dreams have all crumbled away."

[Apollymi]

Kolin was quite confused by this entity, and all the while Beatrice found herself staring at this man with that same swarmy look. He would or maybe already did understand already how very stupid this woman was, and how little thought she put into her own actions. Though her carelessness in moments such as these would eventually bring enough of their kind back into the world that they'd be able to roam freely once again. She was quite certain the blonde woman and all of her faces had no idea how low on the totem pole she actually was. Well, no matter, she'd be learning that a bit from one such as Malleus. Though he wasn't quite the top of the food chain either, he was far enough up that an existence like Mai's was a mere child to him. "I am not lesser." these were words of Kolin's words of Mai's words of her very being. She didn't like the idea of being lesser, much less would she accept such a statement from someone claiming to serve her.

Still he came with information and a gift of some sort. What was this gift? Well, it was darkness which slithered down her throat, oh, and it grew into something rather girthy in the meantime. Kolin's face flushed. She was quite certain there was actually nothing in her mouth and throat, but it felt like there was. How was she supposed to concentrate like this? Well, she was supposed to apparently, according to this man she was insane, because of the Void and he could grant her reprieve. "What are you even talking about? " she started oh that feeling didn't much change. "Tell me whatever it is you think I need to know. It's not like I have any idea what you're talking about," she said. That was an order. She'd take whatever he offered at this point, especially given the strange feeling in the throat at present. Oh, what weird thoughts she had around this man... maybe she really was crazy, surely thoughts like this weren't normal.

[Bloodedge]

There was one sentence mere mortals were never allowed to say. To claim she wasn't lesser, was to place a stain upon all those who inhabited the Void─ all entities cast from this world for simply being too much as it were. That hand of Malleus' which poured darkness into Kolin's throat had another job, it seemed. His fingers snapped, and a single moment after would flood the human's mind and body with the Void's own essence. Her mind's eye, and her every sense would experience that which was nothing... but also everything at once. It was a hell so mighty that even the world itself, with all of its self-proclaimed gods and the like, could not tolerate even a fraction of it. It would last for just a second, as to avoid obliterating the mortal soul before he had use of it. "You are nothing. Fear not, little thing. I will raise you into one of us, when your mortal notions of godhood stop outweighing your ability to perceive a true existence. Then..."

He wouldn't bother finishing that thought. When the one called Kujaku Mai became what he needed her to be, things would take a sharp turn in this world. Until then however, he would have to enlighten the woman. For now, he would prevent the inevitable self-destruction caused by an additional touch of the void's influence within her. "Your soul is filled with the aspect of Lust. You've been rejecting it. This world's Age of Gods ended with your first form, but Lust remained as a power within you. Foolish though you were with it, thinking a human vessel could maintain a power your goddess form hardly managed to utilize. Is that clear to you, child?" he asked as that darkness poured from him in even greater quantities, spreading outward upon reaching her torso. Of course the sensation would remain consistent, but he was in fact reaching the heart of her 'soul' with it. Such would have a greater effect on the woman than anything this world had to offer, whether she proved herself capable of utilizing it or not.

[Apollymi]

Oh, what was this? Rather sudden influx of absolute nothingness which felt like everything. For just a moment Kolin was certain she'd lost consciousness, she felt like her body was on fire, drowning, being torn to pieces, put back together, scattered to the winds... there was nothing she didn't feel for just a split second. And then just as quickly as it had arrived, with the snap of Malleus' fingers, it was gone. She held her face, touched her forehead, checked herself for existence. Yes, she was definitely all still here. What the hell was that? She hadn't even had time to scream in the moment. Was she truly nothing? When she was a goddess surely nothing like this would ever have an effect on her. Ah, but this one was talking again wasn't he? Claiming that she was nothing... he claimed he would raise her? That is what she brought him here for. Alright. As long as they were on the same page. Yes, she was still half listening, she'd heard what she needed to she could continue. "Whatever, as long as I get what I want... I don't really care."

That was very true. It was all she was, her own desire, pushing her further and further towards the goal she set for herself. People might have found it admirable if she wasn't the sort of person to crush underfoot literally any individual she could to reach that goal. How gross people were to think people had to be kind to get where they wanted. No one was kind, no one was nice. Good things didn't happen, humans were disgusting creatures... who only took to make due. "Lust?! Gross..." Well, she wasn't particularly learned, she hadn't figured out that lust wasn't only sexual, mostly but not only. Her longing and desire were the most obvious forms of her lust. Her desire for power was one of its best showings... ah but she didn't really understand that. "No! Nothing about that is clear. What the hell does any of that actually mean? Like a left over power is making my human faces go crazy... and you're planning on fixing that somehow?" Yep, that very simple understanding with none of the underlying nuances. That was indeed how this woman thought. Maybe being around a man like this would help her out a bit? Maybe it wouldn't... whatever the case, she was now not capable of ranting, she was feeling something near stroking at the depths of her heart. Well, not exactly, she was certain he wasn't actually touching her heart, but she felt it in her chest as surely as she felt anything. She clutched at the strange sensation, it was weird, she didn't know whether she wanted it to stop or continue. "I don't really need to understand if it helps me. If I don't have to get rid of a face every five years to avoid making irrational decisions... whatever." Yep. Disinterest in anything but what she was looking for. She didn't want anything associated with all this extra thought. Her life as a goddess hadn't been anywhere near this complicated. The Age of the Gods would come again, and she'd be back where she belonged with everything she wanted.

[Bloodedge]

"You cannot lie to me. You don't even know what you want," Malleus replied. This thing didn't even understand the true meaning of lust, nor that she suffered from all forms of it in this shell of flesh she inhabited. "Goddess of Love, War, Fertility, and so much more. We reached out to you and those others; it wasn't too long ago for us when your group was no longer tainted only by those silly Virtues, like your power of Love. Perhaps it was Love that saved you from becoming crazed as a goddess, but that isn't of importance. Your human form will forever fall to an Authority of the Void. But you, little creature, are so conflicted..."

Malleus spoke while his eerie gaze was fixed on Kolin's face. Over time, her perception of him would change. His outstretched hand mimicked a grip again, not toward Kolin, but as if he were to hold some phallic object in front of her mouth where his essence was poured. Soon enough, she would be forced to visualize him with denser musculature, golden locks of hair, and an unearthly pair of crimson irises. This was a visage familiar to her, as he understood... and that energy pouring down Kolin's throat would feed into the visual of this form's groin being held betwixt her lips. "This image is pleasing to you, is it not? Does my magnitude claw at your very soul as you behold it? Hmph," he spoke in a voice not his own. "You fool. While you fail to let yourself unleash the power of Lust appropriately, the madness will grow until it consumes you entirely. If you manage for only five years, you will be corroded by the Void in seven. Accept the Seed of the Abyss, and it will work through you... until you become something far beyond what this world considers a deity." And so, the fabled 'deal with the devil' was offered officially. There was much he would do with this one, whether she accepted or not. If she did accept, however, things would be much easier for everyone.

[Apollymi]

WHAT?! How did he know she didn't know what she wanted? Was her confusion obvious? Or maybe it was that he was currently connected deeply to her soul. Yeah, he was a demon or something of the sort, it would make sense if he could figure out stuff like that by virtue of being connected to her. He thought her and the group she was originally with tainted by virtues? Hardly. They were just people and people were always shit. Most of them just stood between her and her goals... they fell because they weren't capable enough by her own approximation. But what was this... he knew she was conflicted, surely he couldn't know why...

This man was changing his form, and the energy pouring down her throat was rather suddenly something very different. She was imagining things she had to be... because what she saw in front of her this moment was a man she hadn't laid eyes on in over a millennium. Even down to those, alluring eyes of his, how could she do anything but be excited? Did it claw at her soul... hell no, it engulfed it in a blaze of pure desire. She wanted this man. Everything about him, she wanted to possess him. She wanted him to love her, she wanted him to give everything he owned to her! Why had life been so against her in this point. Why was he showing her this image she so absolutely wanted to gobble up? Hell she'd try to now, her mouth already forming to swallow that which was between her lips, even if it wasn't real, she wanted it. Deals with devils... Oh but what was this? All she had to do was accept whatever the Seed of the Abyss was... and he'd allow her to eventually grow into something greater than a god? Would she be undeniable? Would he have to give everything to her then? Could she finally find the happiness she sought? She wanted to believe. So much so that she accepted this down to the depths of her very soul. She swallowed all of that energy because she wanted it. Because she could see that man who was the object she desired and wanted to possess him and this man offered her a way. Yes, that would do. She'd get everything she wanted obviously.

[Bloodedge]

The naivete in this one knew no end, but Malleus knew of this since he absorbed the common tongue from her being. At this point, he was just out to make a mockery of everything Kolin thought she was... and she was falling right into it. Was she really trying to suck that imaginary thing? How laughable. Well, to further the moment, Malleus figured he may as well contort his energies to match Kolin's imagination. He knew of these mortals and their dealings, and managed to replicate the true image precisely─ even that which she may not have seen in person. She could freely consume girth and length the likes of which she'd yet to know, while the true form of Malleus left that blonde male's image behind to converse with... the nun. Of course, he would not be perceivable to Kolin at the time, though he doubted she would have noticed in her current state regardless. "Fuhahaha! Is this it? I speak of seed, and you take it as that? Foolish Inanna. Very well; I will allow you to drink. I take it you accept, then," said the image held in Kolin's mind and maw.

Meanwhile, Malleus was watching events unfold from Beatrice's side. "This pitiful thing will be a gateway to our kind, and this is how it all begins? It's almost regrettable. To think the ability of our kind to walk the planet would be returned by someone obsessed with... that."

[Apollymi]

Oh, this was indeed something she'd never known. He was speaking to her?! Even nicely? Well, not truly nicely but she was still pleased. She couldn't have been anything else. He'd allow her to drink if she accepted, of course she would. "I accept!" So happy. She could only be this, pathetic thing lapping at something non-existent while trying to maintain her dignity. Pretending of course, that she wasn't simply dick-whipped by dick she'd never even seen. An outside perspective would know... know the truth of her as much as she couldn't know it of herself. That she... and Leorio were two peas in a pod.

Ah, but there were more important matters to be discussed. That man whose visage suddenly shifted towards the nun who smirked at the opportunity. That one known as Kolin was indeed far too busy to even notice a pair of people plotting against her in her own throne room. "I recognized the Lust, but it is of her own creation, she did not receive mine. Too bad, she might not be so confused if she knew of it the way I do. Instead she is this... but a door is a door, and a hole is a hole. I am keeping up this act until I can do better for myself. I don't intend to walk through any door opened by that thing... you can call me Beatrice. Like this..." she stated her plans as they were of no consequence. All of the human children in this room had long since lost everything happening. Simply happy to be alive and shaking and quivering in their little boots. There was no one to stop what was happening here and no one to get in their way. "I've found a better way to a body this simple world will accept, without pushing me out. I'll live and breathe this filthy little world and offer salvation to make room for our brethren. She's already let me mark every woman in this kingdom... she truly has no foresight."
