Location: Forever Fall Forest. Demi's POV

"It's strange I didn't think I would be back in Forever fall...looks just how I remembered before the Conception" I thought as picked myself up and looks around. It really is the same just it feels different now.

"Alice is there anyone nearby" I asked one of my demons, Alice a demon that resembles a little girl from a story,

"As of right now big brother there is one but it's strange almost like I'm looking at you" Alice said. That is rather troubling but it does make me wonder is it a enemy or friend. With that in mind I started to walk try to get myself acquainted with the area no matter what form the world takes the forest always seemed beautiful to me.

"Now isn't the time for that I need to find portal and Alice said there was a strange reading nearby...I better go find it" I thought as I took out the amulet that Stephen gave me and it's shining northwest hopefully I'll meet this intruder or guardian of the portal. I started to run in that direction.

"Krishna when an enemy or grimm is nearby give me a warning ok" I asked my well dressed demon

"Course and if they get too close or we're being followed I'll play tune to show them" Krishna said as my amulet shined once again. I wonder if someone is nearby adding power to my legs I jumped through the trees hoping to find a hint of the portal.

"There it is" I said as continued to jump on the trees the portal should be there but I feel strange almost cold like someone or something is heading there too.

"Krishna anything nearby" I asked my my demon as that feel gets stronger.

"Yes there is something and it's flying towards us behind you" Krishna yelled as I stopped at a tree top and turned to see bird a harpy? Whatever it is I need to find out with it getting closers I see wings, and shadow...is that a living shadow. With a quick instinct I felt my power rise as my tattoos brighten and a golden light shines from my hands.

"Best give a warning shot Divine Shot" I said as a beam of light blast from my hand missing the shadow by a good margin not even hitting anything.

Ah shit it's attack is coming at me I got into a stance somehow catching it but it sent me near the portal where I blacked out in the crater must still be weak need to heal up more. With that thought I blacked out my tattoos changing to a red color.

True's POV

"Huh, this forest looks so different before it became a smoldering waste land." As I moved along in the ground. It's a shame that this place had to be destroyed in the process. But, hey, it had little matter to me what happens to others. Though Marron or Vine would to revive it.

'But the pressing matter is where is that portal' As I stopped and got out of the ground to look around. Deciding to use that amulet from that "Chronos" guy, I raised my hand for the amulet to come out of my palm. When I did a hologram-like map came, maybe its link to me, and wanted what I needed.

'Whatever' Not wanting to press on the question, I went through the map to see what my current location is. The Forever Fall Forest, obviously, but where though.

'Northeast, I'm Northeast from the portal and as well as 100 feet from it, Ugh, whatever. Looks like I'm transforming' LIke what I said, I jumped up into the air and transformed into a bird specifically as a Nevermore but the red replaced with blue.

As I flew in the air, the amulet started to shine and flash out. But continued to show the map, odd, was it telling me something or warning me about someone? Once again, I decided not to press on the question and flew toward possibly my mission.

That's weird, something looks like moving, jumping if I must say, towards what portal might be at. When I flew closer, a second being appear, not human or faunus like and more story demon like. The first being came out and looked as well as story demon like but similar to me or master.

'So this what the other are like' As I thought as the being was looking at me. And fire something at me…

Wait… It fired something at ME?! I better fire something at that shot. As I open my Nevermore mouth to fire my Shadow Lance at. Luckily it collided with it and overpower causing my attack to fly toward that "Demon Being".

But what I can tell from that shot, it was for the most part, a warning shot, so I must be close to the portal. So I flew closer to the being and see its in a crater from my attack. Luckily, it was down from what I can tell, so I didn't have to fight now.

3rd POV

"You are quite strong not many people can knock him down" A calm voiced sound out.

"?" Still in this Nevermore form, confused at the tone of the voice.

"Over here" the voice called a dark skin person wearing a fancy green suit holding flute appears besides the demon.

Flying down to the being only to overtower it with my forms height but unfazed at the appears of the being.

"Interesting you look different but you feel similar to my master here but that's besides the point allow me to introduce myself I'm Krishna, a demon contracted with person in the crater" the demon named Krishna said with a bow.

"...Is that so…..." Shocking the "Krishna" being, but went back to maintain their form.

"Call it a guess but are these others that the master told us about you have the presence like him but don't look like him why is that" Krishna said as he started to play his flute healing the demon.

"..Should I rearrange myself to a more fitting appears?" I questioned

"It would help a lot unlike some of the others we would attack on the spot who attacked our master it helps that you might be a ally to us" Krishna said turning to look at the portal.

"Alright" The shadow simply said as I darken my current form to shift and manipulate myself into my "original" form.

"Ah my head" the demon said as he begins to stir. "Ah he has awakens, welcome back master" Krishna said before disappearing.

"So you're finally up" The shadow said in a neutral tone as he sat on a large rock looking at the man in the crater.

"Ah you're that shadow" the demon said as he got out of the crater.

"So considering you didn't try to kill me while i was out of commission can I take that your an ally or a enemy" The demon said as it got into a stance.

"If I were your enemy, I would have annihilated you before you hit the ground, but since I didn't, I am your ally for the most part" Said in a neutral tone while still sitting on the large rock.

"I see, sorry about that being back in this forest it's not easy when I'm seeing it before that event but, that's beside the point since your me just call me Demi" Demi said as he extends his hand.

"Don't worry, your attack was just a warning shot, so no hard feelings about it. Anyways I'm… True" True neutrally said as he manifested and formed a "hand" to grab Demi's.

"Pleasure. but to the bigger question at hand how do we close this portal" Demi said after shaking True's 'hand'.

"Well for the most part, I have just been following the map in this amulet" True simply said as he manifested and formed another "hand" from his back for the amulet to appear out of its palm as it shined brightly.

Demi takes the amulet from his pocket and sees it shining brightly. "Think each portal has a specific person to close it" Demi asked in a confused tone.

"Could be, but then again we don't know how these 'portals' work." True said as he looked at his amulet's map from his palm.

"Maybe we hold the amulet up to portal together" Demi said as he aimed his amulet at the portal.

"Alright then." As True imitated Demi's action, aiming his amulet at the portal.

The amulets shined as a beam of light comes fro them hitting the portal causing it closed leaving behind a strange object.

"Well that worked" Demi said picking up the object as True nodded.

"Well that's one portal down, now unknown amount left to go, come on and let's start moving" As True started to head in a direction his map guided.

"Hey wait for me" Demi said as he followed True.
