In the disclosed location three figure converse."You are nearly nothing but a mere mortal, yet thou reputation is know quite well. Including your finesse and manipulation in the mystic arts, is by far quite astounding for a mortal."

Their guest bow humbly to them."Why thank you, for your kind words. I must say, this is quite a honor to be here in your presence. Honestly I never would have thought in a millennia to every meet your kind."

"Do not flatter yourself human. But your words have not fallen on deaf ears. To the matter at hand,"they hold their hand out a mystical orb forms, showing them visual images of Violet."This here is my kin. My one and only. She is lost in this world of sin."

"I sense another presence about her, something dark."

"Yes. That would be her wretched demonic side. In order obtain power necessary one must at times lay with the devil. And behold my kin to be born. For years she has had to suffer the world of man's insatiable sins."They begin to weep."My kin subjected to such poison. Disgusting. Truly. Their soul becoming tainted by the evils of human...I regret the choice I had to make. Should time give me another chance I will save my kin's damned soul. And it shall be purified as her kin is. Our glory shall enlighten all. And a new day of peace and light shall rise higher than the sun."

Their servant bows to them."Yes. M'Lady that day shall be most glorious and beyond the highest of the high."

"It seems to me, your child does not share the values."their guest speaks. Looking at the orb."Clearly."

"You are quite right. Do not worry, that is where you are to come in. My faithful servant has managed to make contact with my kin. She is at her peak, yet needs that finally push."

"Can you not just go an-"

In anger they expel a blast of energy."That demon's other wretched spawn has dug their claws into my beloved kin's soul! They are corrupting their mind beyond anything! Forcing them to embrace the impurities of their blood!"

"M'Lady!"their servant hurries over to them, calming them.

Regaining themselves back."Forgive me. As for your question, I have made myself known to my kin in many forms. I have seen them. Within my reach, yet she does not yearn for me. I must get her to yearn for me. You must do as I say, bring my kin to the break of desperation. There she will come willing to seek a mother's love and warmth. I wish to hold her against my bossom. Feed her gentle and loving words she has been denied for years. She will know the love I have to offer her, is genuine and sincere. Together we shall be a family. And cleanse this world into a world she shall no longer know pain. Misery shall no longer hunt her nor any other soul. Sins will be washed away. And I shall reclaim..."they stop themselves realizing what they nearly exposed. Clearing their throat. Holding out their palm towards their guest."With all your power, you shall need more. Consider this a temporal gift. Use your gifts to bring my kin back to their mother. Use any means to do so, BUT no harm shall come to them. No physical harm. Do you understand?! Mortal?"

Awing and please dark eyes stare at their new found trinket."Yes. I understand, M'Lady."

"Good."


*A week later*

"The souls of the sin are tainted. The souls are unsettled."

"Sins."

"Cleanse the sins!"

"Pain. Pain of the suffering."

"Pain of all. The souls of many screaming in agony."

"Agony. Agony."

"Cleanse the sins. Cleanse the darkness. Come. Rid thou of sins. Cleanse! Cleanse! CLEANSE!"

Your eyes shoot open, looking around your room. Everything was fine. Everything was alright. Pinching your brow, what a strange dream. Again. Those words, they echo in your mind. You didn't know why, maybe you should stop reading before dozing off. Looking down at the book under you.

Voices of the Mystics.

Yeah, you thought. Should probably stop with the reading. Closing the text, one of Raven's she lent to you. Yawning and stretching you get up from your desk and chair. Stopping for a second to look out your window over the water. It was so calm and soothing. Clear blue sky, white fluffy clouds. Water that sparkled so nicely. What a serene feeling, reminded you a bit back at the monastery. How isolated and calming it was. To be away from everything and anything. All distractions gone, nothing but inner focus and peace. Well before all this happened. Still, it would be nice to go back there, just to see how everyone was doing at least.

Closing your eyes for a second, wishing you could like Raven produce a soul self, to see. But, you weren't there yet. Having not mastered full control over your powers. To completely concentrate, in order to do so. Still working on absorbing the negative emotions that would come and go. Learning to stifle your craving for it. To not consume and be overcome with them. Practice and patience was the key. Still, you often wondered if you could produce one yourself?

Though your sister had said was plausible, as she learned it from Azarath. Which was the teachings she has been giving you. The best way to counter the demon side of you both. Still...you wanted to just see. Making sure you sensed no one and especially her, you sit in the center of the room. Richie was roosting on the bed. Straighten your self up and calming your breathing. Focusing the mind into one fine point, hands in position. Legs crossed and eyes shut. Everything was still. Everything needed to be still. Sensing nothing. You begin to concentrate, reaching for that part of you. That belonged to Trigon, what did Raven say...

Turn it around into something. Shape it. Form it. Control it. Feel the connection and let it fly free. Slowing the fire outlines you and levitates you just a few inches off the floor. The flames begin to grow and grow. Still you kept your focus. Inhaling and exhaling slowly. Find in your mind, where you wanted to go or what you wanted to see.

Reaching in your mind to find it. You reach out to the image, when something comes in a flash and breaks your concentration and focus. Your body suddenly gets thrown across the room into the wall. It startled you that you unleashed accidentally some of your flames. Quickly coming to your senses, to see the flames in your room. Quickly you reduce them, before setting off anything alarm. Messaging your temples, telling yourself not to try that again. Clearly not ready. Not ready.

Your mind was felt clouded and your soul unease. You needed some clarity and you knew just the place to go, getting up off the floor you change quickly into your civilian wear. Normally wouldn't do this alone, it would be mainly with Raven. But for the some time now, she's been rather distant with you. Which was why she gave you books to read, to help with in your training. She wouldn't tell you why, just to keep practicing. No time to spend together, despite you wanting too. Respecting her as teacher and sister, leave her be. It shouldn't be that bad going by yourself there. You practically are a regular there anyway. Double checking with everything, you leave.

When someone spots you."Hey Violet!"


A knock came to your door, but no answer. They knock again, still no answer. Normally they would irritated about this, but not this time. They knock again this time acknowledging themselves.

"Violet. It's me Damian."he said."Can you open the door, so I can come in? I need to talk with you? Just for a bit."Nothing. He knocks again."Violet?"

"What are you doing?"Raven suddenly appears, giving Damian a questionable look. He gives her one back."I thought I said for you to leave her alone."

"I just wanted to talk with her."he said. She could sense something else. Her eyes pierce his for the answer. But he wouldn't let her. Turning away from her gaze to the door."I just need to talk with her. That's all. We are friends and teammates."

"And I am her sister. Her OLDER sister."Raven emphasis."...What have you found? I can sense your concern and worry."

"It's nothing."Damian quickly says."And any concerns you believe I hav-"

"Don't lie to me. Damian."Raven said calmly, with a threatening undertone."You as well I know, something isn't right. Is that why you sneak into her room? Dead of night. You can see the her small lack of concentration just as well I. Ever since a week ago. Now again, I will ask, what have you found? Tell me?"

The tension between them slowly begin to tighten. Until someone breaks it."Are you two looking for Violet?"Jaime asked coming over."She left about an hour ago, with Gar. The two of them went out, she said she needed to ease her mind."

Hearing what he said, Damian storms through him in a huff."Excuse me."

Jaime and Raven watch him storm off."This doesn't seem like it's going to end well."Jaime sighs."I've told Gar to leave her alone."

"They both need to leave her alone."Raven said, looking back to the door.


"Here you go."

The waitress places your's and Gar's order down. You thank her, she smiles nodding and leaves. Picking up your tea about to drink when you notice Gar looking around the cafe rather confused.

"Is something wrong?"you asked.

He looks across at you and smiles."Naw. Nothings wrong. I just didn't think a place like this would be so...so.."he tries to find the words.

"Thank you."you tell him."Thank you for coming. You didn't have too."

"Naw."he brushes is it aside."I didn't mind. You talk so much about this place with Raven and come her a lot. Thought I might as well come too. You said their salads are pretty good. So yeah."

You give a little smile."Yes, they are really good. This place is relaxing. It clears my mind a lot. Not to mention it's a place to come without feeling indifferent with those outside."Your eyes cast quickly to the window. Gar knew that insecurity look. He understood well.

"Yeah, looking different, like this."he looks at himself."It's does make you stand out. But at the same time it's a good thing. Makes those like us different. Which is a good thing. I mean we both have pointy teeth. So that's cool. We don't have to go through a medical procedure to get them. Not to mention we give the most awesome smirks."He flashes you one.

You couldn't help but laugh a bit."That is true. I never thought about it like that. Still,"your mood shifts."..."Looking at your reflection in your tea."To be reminded everyday of the horrible acts."

He reaches across placing a hand on yours."Hey, we don't blame you at all. You know that."he consoles you."It wasn't your fault. We didn't know about that side of you."

"Thank you, for your kind words."you said, still it did nothing to lift your feelings."Still, I can feel the souls of all tormented. Everything and everyday since day one...I'm trying to cleanse myself of all the horrible deeds I've done. By his name. Being used as merely nothing but a tool."A sigh escapes you.

Gar listens and tries to make it better."Okay, so yeah. But Raven's been helping you with that and you're coming around more now. I mean not like before. So there's some progress right?"

"Progress? Not after what happened last week with practice."you lament."I nearly scotched the room."Looking at your hands."...There something unsettling."

"So you had one bad day."Gar said."That's okay."

You look at him."...I wish it was."you mumble.

Thinking quickly he changes the topic."Hey, you birthday is coming up isn't?"

"Oh. I nearly forgot."

"Do you have any ideas on what you want? Want to do? Cake flavors? Themes?"he questions.

"...Honestly I-"

"The sins of one must be cleanse."

"Purity of the weary soul."

"Cleanse. Cleanse!"

"Make what was old, into new!"

"Suffer the sins, thou has done!"

"Repent! Repent!"

"Violet? Vi?"Gar calls to you, waving his hand in front of you. Just a second ago you where talking and all of sudden stop. He didn't know why."Vi?"He reaches for you."Vi?"

Trigon's hand it came for you, back in Hell you found yourself. How did this happen? Frozen with fear, your father reaches for you, claiming you. Your markings begin to burn, his presence nearing, you did the only thing you could think of. Raising your hand ignite it with flames.

"Stay away!"you scream and lash out at him.

"VI! DON'T!"Gar panics.

A dark portal appears, just as you unleash your fire."STOP!"Raven comes out to be blasted point blank range. Hearing her, brought you back, but too late.

You watch in horror and terror, as her body crashes through cafe. Others get up shocked and alarmed at what just happened. Petrified by what you just did.

"Raven...Raven!"
