I gave the large oak doors in front of me a look of curiosity before following Wrath into the room they held captive.

The room was large with book cases higher above me than I could jump, even with my increased strength. I walked with the small sin towards a window that took up the entire wall.

There, an old woman sat playing piano. I looked down to Wrath who seemed to enjoy the music and stepped forward making a coughing noise to get the woman's attention.

The wrinkled mortal looked up and let a small old lady smile cross her features when she saw Wrath and I.

To tell you the truth this woman had pissed me off without saying a word. To go along with my fear of growing old, I had no respect for the aged.

That wasn't what this feeling was directed toward. I was hating the fact that even in her old decrepit form, I could feel power resonating through the walls almost shaking them with a dull hum that irritated me. The strange power was coming from this old crone making me uneasy and angry.

"Thank you for bringing her to me Wrath. Now go find the other one so I might speak with him after." Her voice was aged as well.

Wrath nodded and skipped out of the room leaving me with this strange woman and the shiver running up and down my spine when she looked at me.

I stayed silent trying to figure out how to stop my hand from shaking without attacking this seemingly frail old woman. "Hello Belligerence. Or would you rather go by your human name?" She had directed her attention to my form pretending she didn't notice my discomfort.

I snorted. "I'll go by Belligerence thank you." I said keeping my voice calm instead of letting her hear the small fear I held.

Not of her, but of what I'd do to her if she crosses me.

"Fine, Belligerence, my name is Dante. I have been harboring many like you for a long time. I have made the promise to help them become human as long as they do me a few...Favors." I didn't like the way she said favors in such an under seeming tone. As if it was less of a mutual bond and more of her abusing their powers as immortals.

"And?" I asked wanting to leave the room NOW.

Dante gave me that creepy old person smile again before speaking. "I want to know if you hold the same wish. To become human as they do?" She asked smoothing her skirts.

I shook my head letting my dark teal hair tousle messily about my shoulders. "I have no wish to be a worthless bag of flesh such as yourself." I snapped waiting to be reprimanded.

The old woman merely nodded and smiled again. "Okay, in this case would you do so much as to help the others achieve their goal?" Dante was now looking out the window as Wrath tried to drag Arrogance into the house.

I almost lashed out at her. How dare she expect me to help those become what I despise most in this world.

"I'll see what I can do." I retorted before turning and walking towards the door.

"Oh, Belligerence. Please do be easy on Envy, it's been awhile since anyone has beat him. He's not that mean." She said. Now I knew she wanted me angry. I made sure to slam the oak doors as I left.

When I finally left the entire building I ran out to the forest for almost and hour and plowed a tree down with an air born kick. I had began to demolish the forest.

"You don't seem very happy." I whirled around to see Arrogance sitting there on the end of a fallen tree.

I growled at him with a small glare. He smiled and shook his head.

"So that old crone doesn't seem right to you either does she?" He asked sliding off and walking closer to me.

I snorted. "She has some weird power in her that even upsets the house. She's more powerful than I am. And that pisses me off." I sneered kicking the side of the tree making it roll a few meters away. "But that's not all that's bothering you, what'd she say?" Arrogance asked trying to find the source of my distress.

I sighed. "It's stupid." I whined sitting down.

I felt him come behind me and hold my small frame in a brotherly hug that I cuddled into.

No matter how old I was physically or spiritually. My mentality was that of a spoiled six year old child.

I craved attention like I craved blood.

"No it's not now what's wrong?" Arrogance asked squeezing me slightly. "She said that I should go easy on Envy and that I should help him become human." I said with disgust.

The sin nodded in understanding. "Maybe you should try to change his mind about the situation then." Arrogance suggested.

I shrugged, maybe.
