Hello everyone! I know I haven't updated in awhile and I apologize, this I wanted to make this chapter better and did a ton of editing and re-editing. This is my early New Years gift for all of you that have continued to read my story, so I hope you like it.


At the palace Abaddon received the report from one of his scouts as to where Pyro might be keeping Rin. After he read the report he gave it to Moro for her to see, but knew that she would not take it well. Moro read the report and become further enraged, at the fact she of who had taken him and that he was not far from the city.

Abaddon could see and feel the anger radiating from his wife and had a feeling that she was going to do something really stupid. Then he heard her speak which confirmed his suspicion.

"Seals 1 through 8 release" Moro spoke in a deep tone that resonated with anger (A/N:Ok, I know the line is awful but I couldn't think of anything better to say XD) As she commanded all the seals on her arms glowed and began to remove themselves off her skin and appear in front of her.

All the power that came from Moro as she release the 8 seals could felt throughout the entire palace. This caused everyone to panic because they knew that their princess was in a foul mood at the fact that Rin had been taken from the palace didn't make it any better. Abaddon and Maru knew that Moro would want to release the last two seal that remained on her back and needed to try and calm her down before she acted on impulse.

Urd, Hild and Mara were amazed at the power Moro possessed after just releasing 8 of her seals. However, Urd and Hild could sense that Moro was starting to get out of control and tried to get Abaddon's attention to ask what pissed her off so much for her to release 8 of her seals.

"Abaddon! What is wrong? What has Moro so upset?" Urd shouted to him

Abaddon ignored her as he approached Moro to try and get her to control her emotions.

"Moro you need to relax. We will get him back, but please don't ask to have your last two seals the be broken."Abaddon spoke trying to calm his wife down.

Moro look up to him; her violet eyes were glowing red at the sheer anger coming from her. She was not going to listen to anyone who told her what she could and couldn't do. Moro pushed Abaddon away with the flick if her finger in Maru's direction.

Maru and the others ran to Abaddon to see if he was ok and had any injuries. He looked to Maru with concern in his eyes.

"Abaddon what has happened to make her so mad?" Maru asked her brother-in law

"Some rebels snuck into the palace and took Rin, while she and I were away."Maru's eyes widen in horror, and his words confirmed her suspicions. Abaddon also added something that would concern her and his wife.

"Maru I think she is going to have her last two seals broken which means that she is going to summon her." Maru looked at him with fear and knew that if Moro was planning to do that, she need to do the same.

The others were confused as to who Abaddon and Maru were talking about who this person was that Moro was going to summon.

"Who is this person that Moro plans on summoning that has both of you scared out of your minds?" Hild spoke with dictation.

Raja was the one who answered the Daimakaicho before Maru or Abaddon had the chance.

"The person that Princess Moro is summoning is Nidhogg. Who is also her teacher and the one who placed the two seals on her back." Urd, Hild and Mara all gasped at the lions comment.

"But how is that possible? Nidhogg listens to no one and certainly does not teach other demons unless for a steep price." Urd said in shock. Maru was the one who answered next.

"The same questions could be said in my case as well since I can summon Yggdirasil. He is also my teacher other than my grandfather and Beldandy. However Moro and I can only summon their avatars and not their complete forms."

"How in the hell did Moro get Nidhogg to teach her?" Mara final spoke up.

"It was a month after she has arrived in Niflheim…" Abaddon started

FLASHBACK!

Moro had just ditched her bodyguards that her grandmother assigned to her in the city and ran towards the gates of the city to head into the forest and explore to find something to do. As she went deeper and deeper into the forest she was getting further away from the city and away from anyone who could help if she ever got into trouble.

Unknown to Moro she was being followed by 5 rogue demons that were apart of a small faction that wanted to over through Hild, and what better way than to attack and capture her granddaughter. The leader of the small group motioned for his allies to take positions that surrounded the little princess. The demons then emerged from their hiding places in the tree tops and landed on the forest ground and surrounded Moro so that she had no where to run.

"Who the hell are you and what do you want?" Moro shouted with hate

"You are the bait, so we can bring Hild's reign to an end. And once we're done we will kill you along with Hild so that we reign over the demon realm." One of the demons said with confidence, and alll Moro could do was laugh.

"And if you think that I am going to come quietly. You are all sadly mistaken." She said in a cocky tone.

All the demons rushed her so that she could not escape. However before anyone could attack the young demon a female figure appeared in front of Moro. She had pale white skin that looked like snakes skin and long black hair. All the demons froze at the sight of the women and the sheer power that was emitting from her.

"W-Who are you?" a demon said with fear in his voice.

The women looked at the demon with eyes the color of rubies and just smiled showing her razor sharp teeth. The women then attacked all 5 demons in the blink of an eye. And in just less than a second all of the demons were on the ground in a pool of their own blood. Their limbs ripped from their original places and scattered across the ground, along with their internal organ spilling from their stomachs. The carnage was that of a massacre and set as a warning to those, who might be in the immediate area to back off, unless the wish to meet the same fate. Moro was paralyzed in terror at what just happened and didn't know what to do. The women then turned to the young demon and reached out her hand that had long claws as finger nails to help her up. Moro accepted without question and just asked one question.

"Who are you?"

The women simply smiled and tilted her head at the question.

"I am the one of which you draw power from. You know me as Nidhogg." The women spoke with a hiss in her voice.

Moro eyes widen in shock.

"But I thought Nidhogg was a snake not a women? And why would you save me?" Moro asked with fear in her voice. And all Nidhogg did was laugh that just sent chills down her body.

"This is one of my avatars, Princess Moro. And the reason I am standing before you now is because I see get potential in you. You have a bright future ahead of you, but you will face troubles along the way and I would not wish to see one of my precious children be killed. So I have an offer for you that I would never give to any other demon, not even your grandmother. I would like to teach you certain types of magic and combat skills that you might need in the near future. Along with a very special and old technque where you can change your physical form. I will also give the power summon this avatar for when you need my assistance."

"What do you want in return for this knowledge?" Moro said with hesitation. This caused Nidhogg to smile again.

"What I ask in return is that when you call me that you give me a certain amount of souls that will fill my stomach, since I have to eat those accursed tree roots. And you are not to tell anyone that I you are my student unless it is absolutely necessary. Do you agree with my terms?"

Moro thought it over and looked up to the corpse eater.

"I accept."

"Very good. We will meet here every day at sunset and I will take you back to my domain so that we may have privacy, for this will take many many years for you to learn and perfect. Then once we are done I will return you to Niflheim so that you can continue your normal routine."

And with that Nidhogg just disappeared into the ground and would return tomorrow so that they could begin her lessons.

END FLASHBACK!

Abaddon had finished his story and saw the look of fear and awe that Moro was Nidhogg's student and no one knew.

"How did you and Raja find out if she was not suppose to tell anyone?" Urd asked

"She asked Nidhogg's permission to tell me. And Raja is not your ordinary demon he is not just a lion he is also apart of Moro; they share a blood connection that binds them as one. That is why he is always with her except when she gives him orders that require him to be away from her. The same is for Maru and Danna."

Ignoring at what is going on behind her Moro brought up a magic design on the floor in front of her, that foreign to any who looked at it, so that she could begin the summoning of Nidhogg's avatar. She materialized a knife in her hand and sliced her palm open. With her own blood she traced several runes that floated in the air above the design she created. And she started to sing to activated the portal. (AN: Listen to Femme Fatale by Thomas Bergersen to sort get the idea of what Moro's sing voice is like. Along with Promise by him as well to hear Maru's.)

Everyone stopped talking and look at Moro once they heard her start singing. This caused Abaddon to look at Maru.

"Maru, you should summon Yggdirasil and the damn squirrel to keep things in balance."

"I don't think that that would be a good idea but if it'll help the situation sure." Maru said with worry.

Maru left the group and went to the opposite end of the throne room from where her sister was and performed her own summoning ritual. The others moved further away from the twins so that they did not interfere in fear of making the entire situation worse. Moro finished singing and the summoning portal that she created started to glow and a woman started to rise from the ground where the portal had been placed. She was wearing a black dress with a red belt that had a buckle in the form of snake wrapped around a corpse. Her skin was pale white and in the form of what looked like snakes skin, eyes the color of rubies and her hair was black as night that reached all the way down her back. The fully appeared woman looked at Moro with curiosity as she could see and feel the anger in Moro's eyes and that she had release 8 of her seals.

"Moro its been a long time. What is the reason for you summoning here?"

Moro bowed her head to her teacher.

"It has been along time Nidhogg, almost two millennia if I'm not mistaken. I've summoned you here…." Moro stopped as she felt the presence of two other beings in the room. Both her and Nidhogg looked to see who had just entered the room and gave expressions of anger and hatred at the two beings across the room. It was one of Yggdirasil's avatars and the damn squirrel that Maru had summoned.

Yggdirasil was in his human avatar. He was wearing a blue robe that had a white belt with its buckle in the shape of a tree. He had black hair and his eyes wear the color a blue sapphires. The squirrel simply looked like what he was called only he was the size of Raja.

Before Yggdirsail and Nidhogg could go at each other the squirrel ran to a position that was in the middle so that neither beings could conflict with one another, unless they wish to disrupt the balance of reality, time and space. Moro was the first to speak in all her rage.

"MARU! Why did you summon Yggdirsail and that damn squirrel? You have no business in this matter."

"I brought them here to try and help convince you to think more rationally."

While the two sisters were arguing again Yggdirsail and Nidhogg were having there own dispute in beast tongue that no one but the squirrel, Raja and Danna could understand. And lets just say that it is not a very good conversation.

"I will not listen to the likes if that damn eagle or you. The decisions I make are of my choosing and I will not be told otherwise. I rule this domain and I will do as I damn well please!" Moro growled at her sister.

"Moro please try to listen to your sister you are not thinking clearly." Abaddon trying to intervene and get through to his wife, this just allowed Moro to turn her anger onto him.

"SILENCE!" Moro yelled with power at her husband, which sent fear to all who were around him. Even Hild felt a small sense of fear course through her.

Moro turned her attention back to Nidhogg so that she can continue with why she had summoned the corpse eater.

"Nidhogg can we please get back to the reason as to why a I summoned you. You can argue with the damn eagle later and make that squirrels life a living hell once you are back in your domain."

Nidhogg just nodded since her student was correct. The corpse eater walked back to Moro and went back to the reason for why she had been summoned. But Nidhogg already had a good idea on what Moro was going to ask.

"Moro before you explain what you want from me, I am going to ask you to calm down and control your emotions. You are still as hot headed as you were when I first met if not more so now. You have disregarded the first lesson I taught you once I took you as a student. You control the demon within you and it does not control." Moro did as she was told since she knew better than to disobey Nidhogg.

"Now. What is that you need from me Moro?" Nidhogg continued

"I am asking you to remove the last two seals that you placed to suppress my divine blood." Moro stated in a calm voice.

"Out of curiosity, what has you so riled up that you need them removed?"

Moro lowered her head before look back at Nidhogg.

"Rin was taken. And I want to bring utter destruction to those who took him. I want to bring them the most unimaginable pain so that they will never forget what happens to those who cross me." She said with hatred and anger in her voice.

Nidhogg just smiled, she knew how important Rin was to her student.

"I see so, my suspicions were correct. Very well, I will release your last to seals. But you know that there will be a price and a large one at that."

'What do you want?" Moro asked without hesitation

"I will take your usual payment of 2,000 souls and I want you to bring the man who took Rin and bring him to me in my domain."

Moro was ok with the first part of the payment, but she was pissed that Nidhogg wanted Pyro. However she knew why NIdhogg wanted him, it was so that she could not take the pleasure of torture and killing of him herself. But she had all the other demons to take her frustration out on.

"I accept your price" Moro told her teacher.

Nidhogg just smiled and nodded. Moro turned her back to Nidhogg so the it could remove the two seal that were placed on Moro's back.

Moro looked at all the others and saw the concern on their faces at what they had just witnessed. She saw Yggdirsail and the squirrel were standing next to Maru and knew that there was nothing they could do now that the deal has been made. Hild, Urd and the other demons looked at Moro and wished there was something that they could do to ease her anger. Then Nidhogg spoke loud enough so that everyone could hear what she was going to do next.

"Moro, you know that this is going to hurt. The last time I did this was when I applied the seals in the beginning."

"Yes I remember, and I know you are going to enjoy this."

"Hahahaha...ok then. Are you ready?" Nidhogg said to try and reassure Moro.

"Yes"

"Ok, here we go." Before anyone could ask what was going to happen, they saw Nidhogg's fingernails extend to what looked like small daggers. Moro closed her eyes waiting for what was to come and in less than a second after she closed her eyes Nidhogg jammed its nails into Moro's back in the positions of where the seals were placed.

"AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Moro screamed in pain as Nidhogg's nails dug into her back causing blood to pool underneath Moro as Nidhogg raised Moro a few inches of the ground so that the magic of the seals entered Nidhogg's body through its nails that were now embedded in Moro's back.

Urd and Hild were about to race to Moro's aid to stop what was happening but were restrained by Abaddon and Raja. Both women fought in protest and Raja tried to reassure them that she would be ok.

"What are you doing? This has gone way too far" Urd protested as she was being held by Raja

"This is the only way to remove the seals. Moro knew this. And this was the same way the were put on her in the first place." Abaddon said while holding Hild.

"There must be another way, I will not have my granddaughter put through this torture just so she can have two seals removed to save this Rin person." Hild said in protest.

"This is what Moro wants and you should know by now that no one can stop her when she has made up her mind." Abaddon added

Nidhogg could see the two tanned women trying to intervene with what she was doing. However, there was nothing they could do, she'd finished removing the seals and lowered Moro to the ground and extracted her nails from the demon's back.

"It's done."

Moro fell to the ground and laid uncurious for a few minutes and began to wake up. She could still feel the pain in her back but when she looked over her shoulder she saw Nidhogg kneeling behind her.

"I'm healing your wounds. Once you bring Rin back to the palace I will reapply the seals. that is what we had agreed on all those years ago."

Moro just nodded at the women and then started to stand up, but failed the first attempt.

"You are still a little weak from the removal." Nidhogg said in a calm tone.

Moro was finally standing and could feel all her power released from their seals. This caused Moro to laugh that sent a blood curdling sensation throughout the room. Urd and the others around her stood in awe at her daughter's power that was superior to her own and that of her mothers.

"Thank you, I will call you again so that you can put the seals back in place."

And with that Nidhogg sunk back into the ground to a wait its payment and Moro's call. Yggdirsail and the squirrel also departed since they were no longer needed. Maru looked to her sister and spoke after the events that just occurred.

"I will depart as well since this is not within my jurisdiction. But I will return once everything has settled down. I will tell aunt Belldandy your regards since you love her so much." Maru said with sarcasm in that last part. And with that Maru and Danna left in a bright white light.

Moro turned to the others that remained in the throne room. It seems that the recent events have put them on edge and need reassurance.

"You all can stop worrying about me now. However, that does not mean that my anger has not subsided." Moro said in a neutral tone.

Raja and Abaddon released Urd and Hild who ran up to Moro and embraced her to show that they were worried about her. Urd had tears running down her face after having to watch her daughter go through all that pain and anger that she felt. And surprisingly Hild let her emotions show and she also began to cry after seeing what her granddaughter went through and knew that is was for a good reason.

"Please don't not make us go through all that again" Hild told Moro with tears in her eyes. Moro just smiled.

"I can't guarantee that, the seals will need to be reapplied once all is said and done. But you do not need to be present when that happens."

"Good, cause if I see you go through that again I won't be able to control myself and I will attack Nidhogg while it is re-applying those seals of yours," Urd told her in a stern voice.

Abaddon finally butted in and took his wife into his arms to show that he was happy that she was ok. Then he kissed her with passion and she returned it. Moro breaking away to get air she leaned her forehead against his to show her that she was ok.

"You two need to get a room once this is all over!" Mara piped in after her long silence after the whole ordeal that just happened. Abaddon just laughed at his mother's comment.

"Ok now that my last two seals are broken I can shift now with ease. And I think that you and the others need to get ready for this little battle that I am looking forward to." Moro told Abaddon with dictation.

"What form are you going to use this time?" Abaddon asked with hesitation. Moro just smiled.

"You'll see. But first I need to tell you which of my pets to give to you mother and mine along with my grandmother so they have a means of transportation." Moro whispered in his ear for which pets he could use for their relatives. All he did was laugh.

"Excellent choices" Abaddon said with a smile.

Just as Moro finished talking, a cloud of black smoke appeared that covered the entire room as her body began to transform. As the smoke dissipated where Moro had once stood was now a black wolf the size of a small building with red eyes and a seven-pointed star in its forehead. Hild, Urd and Mara looked at the wolf in awe and confusion.

"Where did Moro go?" Mara asked her son who just laughed.

"You are looking at her. Once those last two seals are removed Moro is able to shapeshift into any demonic form that she has come in contact with. This is her demon wolf form; in this form she can call upon her 5 other wolves to aid her when she calls. She is able to sift even without the two seals removed it just that the form she takes in not as big." As Abaddon tried to explain.

"Moro will also be able to communicate with me and the mounts you all will be riding as we head to the abandon fort where Rin is supposedly being kept."

Mara looked at Urd with a smile since she and her friend had some experience riding when they were younger.

"Hey, Urd looks like we get to ride bicorns again just like when we were kids."

Abaddon interrupted before Urd had a chance to respond.

"Sorry to burst you bubble mother but you and Lady Hild won't be riding bicorns only Lady Urd and I will. You two are getting something a little more special."

Both Hild and Mara looked at the man in bewilderment.

"If we are not riding bicorns. Then what are we riding." Hild asked

"It's a surprise and it was Moro's idea. Now follow me so that we get you to your mounts."

Moro left in a puff of black smoke and waited outside the stables where her pets were kept and away from those who are not given permission to enter them. Abaddon lead all three women down a flight of stairs that lead to where Moro kept her favorite pets. As they passed through the door Urd, Hild and Mara look in amazement at all the creatures that were held in the large room.

"Where did you get all of these beauties?" Hild asked like a little girl in a candy shop.

"Moro has a hobby for collecting exotic animals. As you can see there are bicorns, hell hounds, and the 5 wolves I mentioned earlier. And then there are those." Abaddon pointed to the two larger pens at the far end of the room.

"Is that a…" Mara asked first

"A dragon yes. That is Naga he is going to be your mount mother." Mara looked at her son as if he was crazy.

"Don't worry mother he has been trained by Moro like all of the animals in here. That is why they bear her mark on their faces. He will listen to you as part of Moro instructions." He reassured her

"And Hild if you look to the pen next to Naga you will see your mount." Abaddon pointed to the pen next to Naga's. Hild looked and her eyes went wide with excitement.

"Is that what I think it is?" She asked

"Yes, that is a Hydra. Moro's personal favorite and its the most recent addition to her collection. Her name is Lamia. Moro picked her for you since she represents the title you hold as the seven-headed beast. Lamia is also a tribute to your reign as Daimakaicho." All Hild could do is smile and laugh that her granddaughter admired so much.

"Mother, Hild you two will take to the skies to get an aerial view of the land while Urd and I ride on the ground and try to keep Moro at bay for as longs as possible so that she does not do something reckless. Urd if you will follow me I will show you the bicorn you will be riding." Abaddon explain to all three women.

Hild and Mara went to their mounts to get acquainted and mount themselves and wait for Abaddon's orders. Urd followed Abaddon to where the bicorns were being held, Abaddon stopped in front of Urds bicorn to show her the mount that her daughter picked for her.

"This one is yours."

"He is beautiful." Urd looked at the bicorn in awe. This one looked strong and seemed to be the leader of the herd.

"This is Xic he is Moro's mount and she is letting you ride him." Urd looked at Abaddon with shock in her eyes

"Why is she letting me ride him? I thought that bicorns only choose one rider?"

"Xic is a special case he will let you ride him because Moro told him that you were her mother and ask that he take care of you if something were to go wrong. He is also the leader of his herd and the mate to my mount, Jahi." Abaddon explained with kindness in his voice.

While Abaddon was showing everyone their mounts Moro was pacing outside getting impatient and was not going to wait any longer for them. They could catch up with her once they were all saddled up. Moro gave a loud howl and called her 5 other wolves to her side. Within seconds all 5 of them were in front of her ready to serve. With one growl she too took off towards the tower that was mentioned in the scouts report and her 5 smaller wolves followed as they were ordered.

Back in the stables where the mounts were held Abaddon and the others heard a loud howl that came from Moro. Abaddon ran to the pen that housed her wolves and noticed that they were gone.

"SHIT!" Abaddon shouted.

Urd ran to him to see what was wrong.

"What was that? Is something wrong?" Urd asked with concern

"That was Moro and she summoned her wolves. Which means that she was getting impatient and took off without us. Damn I swear that woman is going to be the death of me."

"We need to go after her now!" Urd said with anger. He nodded in agreement

"Mother, Mara mount up! Moro took off without us and is going to do something senseless if we don't catch up to her." She yelled down the hall

They did what she said and were out their door and took to the skies immediately. Urd and Abaddon were on their bicorns and followed Mara and Hild out of the stables heading in Moro's direction. Abaddon was thinking to himself as he worried about his wife. 'Moro please don't do anything that you will regret and try to wait for me'
