In the Human Realm…

Belos has many doors, littered throughout the human realm for him and a lucky few who sneak in and out of them.

He doesn't go there very often due to the obligations of home, but when he does it is either to visit his daughter or to keep tabs on the world. Since coming here all those years ago, he noticed changes. Subtle for those who may turn a blind eye but for those who know what they are looking for, it was serious what was going on. Despite Camila and him no longer being together, she knew of the situation and assisted in bringing samples. This is something not to take lightly and if Belos is right then he would soon…

But that wasn't the reason why he came to the Human Realm.

He was simply doing some shopping.

"Blätter fallen auf unbekannten Boden."

"Magie peitscht die Luft~."

"Aber es ist keine Lieferung~."

"Denn der Teufel sind wir~."

"Wir haben dieses Land beschmutzt."

"Dieses Übel ist meine Schuld~."

The man soon felt eyes on him for he was quite famous there. For the Demon Realm knows him as Emperor Belos, Voice of the Titan, Victor of the War of Glyphs, and Great Uniter, in the Human Realm, he was Alexander Philippines Belos, one of the most successful industrialists, inventors, entrepreneurs, humanitarians, owner and founder of Golden Owl Industries, Owner, Founder, and engineer or Fightmare Island amusement park and scholar of cultural anthropology. A rich man with a big vision. It was no doubt what made him so popular.

But that didn't matter as he was exploring the antique shops for certain items, a small wooden clock, a moose head, a wind-up toy, and a couple of weaponry.

"Oh Mr. Belos, you are truly a man who appreciates the finest craftsmanship of things, not like today when things are so cheaply made." The owner swooned.

"Indeed, this is why I like coming here. The materials are so, properly made." Belos smiled.

"Quite, I am certain you will give these items the respect they deserve."

"They will indeed be put to good use."

Back at the Emperor's Palace Later…

Belos was careful as he began to dismantle the objects he had purchased, making certain each part was properly cleaned, ready, or to be placed later for spare parts.

For an Engineer like himself, it's a pity to waste. His latest automaton, Codenamed SELENE will be quite an achievement. Most often have to scour the trash heaps around the island shores to find parts like this. It was a rule to all engineers of the Boiling Isles, to have the best parts for the cheapest price and best quality either make them yourself or salvage them from the wild. Since Belos hated to be covered in rubbish, he found this easier.

"I see you have found the components you have been hunting for and did a bit of examining within the waters of the Human Realm," Parfait spoke.

"Yes, it seems the anomaly has been becoming more fluent of late. We may need to be certain to prepare for that. Maybe ask Mildred Featherwhyle to see if her link has been growing stronger of late." Belos answered, "As for my latest puppet, I think she will make a great gift to my daughter for her coronation day."

"Speaking of presents, the gown and mask you commissioned have been coming along nicely, the material for the blades has just arrived." His palisman reported in.

"Good, everything seemed to be coming in very nicely." The emperor smiled as he continued his work on the automaton.

"Also, I believe Luzura wishes to expand her education at Hexside but may have gotten herself into trouble seeing she was banned from the premise," Parfait added as Belos stopped his work.

"If my daughter wants to attend, then she's going to attend. Arrange a meeting for Bump, I'll be on my way there."

"Very good, Sir."
