Damn I'm slow with updates. Also, looking for a beta reader! PM me if interested.
I also have some interesting news at the end of the chapter. :]
Dakarai's POV
"This is my domain. For the next 72 hours, what you see here is your reality, Riser." I said, looking at him. The area around me was a hot desert, but the sky was black. Instead of the moon being white, it was yellow, and the symbol for the Eye of Horus was on the moon, which was a dark color. Riser was in front of me, pinned to a cross. His face was covered in fear. I walked closer to him. I materialized my khopesh, which was unsheathed. I pierced Riser's stomach with my sword. He screamed out in pain.
"This sword has been blessed by the Egyptian Goddess Isis. To put it simply, its effect on a devil are similar to a Holy Sword or anything light-related." I explained to him. Snapping my fingers, I created hundreds of clones of myself, all equipped with the same sword. I also created hundreds of wolves with white fur, all growling. They eyed Riser like he was a piece of meat.
"Enjoy your time here, Riser." I said. My body disappeared as his torture commenced.
I slowly moved my limbs, causing a grunt to escape from my throat. My body felt sore.
"Hey, he's waking up!" I heard a familiar voice say. I slowly opened my eyes to see Issei and my little sister. I noticed I was sitting in a chair. I clutched the side of my head.
"Ugh, what happened?" I said, feeling dizzy. My eyes widened. I quickly stood up.
"Did I beat Riser?!" All I could remember was feeling a surge of power flowing through me. After that, I could only draw a blank.
"You did. Now calm down. I called Isis over to heal the internal damage you've suffered." I heard Anubis say. I looked and saw him standing next to Sirzechs. I also saw Rias and everyone else.
"You didn't give it your all, but you did well Dakarai." My great-grandfather smiled at me. I would have smiled back, but I suddenly felt weak. I started to fall to the ground, but Issei caught me. I nodded my heard as a thank you.
"My, this reminds me of the time he finished his training in The Pit." I heard a soft, female voice say. I looked to my left and say Isis, dressed in her usual attire. A simple white dress with gold floral patterns on it. She also had a great figure, considering how old she is. She walked over to me. Issei couldn't stop staring at her, causing Rias to walk over and pinch his cheek. She look annoyed with him.
"Thank you, Red Dragon Emperor. I'll take it from here." Isis said as she picked me up and sat me in the chair again. Her hands started to glow green as she began to heal me.
Oh god, that felt so much better.
"Anubis, do it now." I felt Isis use her magic to bind my hands together. Anubis suddenly appeared behind me, his hand covered in a blue aura. He hit my neck. After that everything went black.
Anubis's POV
"W-why'd you do that?!" I heard Amara ask me. Everyone else looked surprised as well, except Sirzechs.
"You're trying to bring his dark side out, I assume?" Sirzechs asked me. I nodded my head. Soon after, Dakarai's head snapped back up again. I walked in front of him and looked at him. His eyes were red. I smirked.
"I'm glad you decided to come out and play. Now, identify yourself." I narrowed my eyes. "Dakarai" laughed.
"Don't you know? I'm your flesh and blood." He replied, a disturbing smirk on his face.
"No. You're an entirely different spirit. You are merely inhabiting my great-grandson's body."
"Ha, fine. You may call me 'Crysis'."
"Well, Crysis, how long have you been residing in Dakarai's body?"
"I've always been a part of Dakarai. We were one being, until the day his father died. After that, our spirit started to separate, although very slowly. We split apart even more after his mother died, but that wasn't enough. Once Dakarai was experimented on and given the Curse Mark, I was able to take my own form and our spirits divided into two. Since he was still a child at the time, I was very limited."
"I see."
"Wait, you mean this isn't Dakarai?" Issei asked me.
"No. I guess I should tell you all the truth." I took a deep breath.
"Osiris made a prophecy that Dakarai would bring about the end of the world." Everyone was shocked, except Isis and myself, since we already knew this information.
"I don't want to destroy the world. I wouldn't have anything or anyone to rule over then. I simply wish to conquer the world with my mother, that's all." Crysis said, smiling.
"But, you just said your mother is dead. That doesn't make any sense." Rias said. Crysis chuckled.
"I'm not talking about Dakarai's mother. I'm talking about my true mother, the woman who gave me life. The True "Infinte", who's power matches the Great Red. You see, Dakarai is simply my vessel to release my mother from her prison." He said with a grin.
I quickly walked over to Crysis and delivered another chop to his neck, knocking him out. I looked at everyone.
"It's highly important that what you just heard remains a secret. Someone is already trying to hunt Dakarai down. We don't need any more problems. That's also how his parents died. They tried to protect him and his sisters." I said. Everyone had a sympathetic look on their face.
"That is saddening, I must say. I guess he feels like his only purpose for living is for revenge?" Sirzechs asked me. I nodded my head.
"That's exactly how he feels. He may have never said it, but I know his true emotions."
Now that I examined Dakarai's dark side, I really didn't have anything to do. I'm sure Isis would place a seal on that dark side of his, to make sure it wouldn't cause too much trouble until we could come up with a more permanent solution. Now I have to resume my work in the Egyptian Realm. An idea quickly formed in my head, since I didn't feel like doing my job.
"Red Dragon Emperor, how would you feel if I told you I can train you?" I said, smirking on the inside.
"Anubis, stop trying to get out of doing your work." Isis said to me as she finished healing Dakarai, who was still unconscious.
"O-of course! I'd be honored!" Issei said to me, bowing.
"I warn you child, Anubis's training is harsh." Isis said. Dammit Isis, don't discourage him!
"No pain, no gain, right?" Issei said nervously. I smiled.
"Great, we start in one month!" I said smiling. I looked behind me and saw that Dakarai was gone.
"What happened to Dakarai?" I asked Isis.
"Horus took him. He said something about performing surgery on his eyes before I came here." Isis replied as she made herself a magic circle.
"Damn, he couldn't even say hello?" I asked Isis.
"Nope." Isis said before leaving.
"Wait, is something wrong with Dakarai's eyes?" Issei asked me.
"That last technique Dakarai used to defeat Riser causes Dakarai to go blind in his left eye temporarily. What Horus wants to do is enhance both of his eyes so he'll be able to use his power more efficiently." I explained. Issei nodded his head. I looked over to Amara, my great-granddaughter.
"I miss the old times. When brother was actually happy." I was slightly surprised at her words.
"What do you mean?" I asked curiously.
"Dakarai wasn't always like this. Up until 2 years ago, he hadn't even succumbed to the Mark's power once. But after she died, I could sense the change in him." She answered, a slight frown on her face.
"She? Who are you talking about?" I asked. Did Dakarai not tell me something?
"His girlfriend, Nia. After her death, he hasn't even tried to start a relationship with any other women. He even almost killed himself and ended up being placed on suicide watch for a few weeks because of what happened." I was shocked to hear that, along with everyone else.
"I see, but I'm also want to know more about when he was experimented on." Amara shook her head at my statement.
"I don't remember much from then. I'm sorry." She looked down at her feet. I walked over to her and placed my hand on her shoulder. She looked up at me.
"Don't be sorry. From what you told me, maybe now I can give a more serious talk." She nodded her head.
"If what Crysis said about Dakarai being experimented on is true, there may be a chance his older sister can be pardoned of her crimes." Sirzechs said, looking at me. Amara eyes widened.
"You-you think so?" She asked him.
"It's possible. If what Dakarai went through is something terrible, we can hold a trial for her and she has a chance of being pardoned." He answered.
"I'll try to look for her. More than likely, she does have some type of proof that he was experimented on and we can see how bad it was for him." I said. I knew looking for his older sister wouldn't be easy, but she of all people might be able to get him off the path he's on now.
Aaaaaaaand done. This chapter is subject to heavy editing later, cause it's almost 6 in the morning, and I'm really tired. Feel free to speculate on who I was talking about.
