Following both Dark and Fire Davis respectively, Kari was then led to a small room within the Dark Citadel, the Dark Empress most curious as to what her beloveds were thinking in regard to her.
As the doors closed behind them, both Davises looked to one another as the Shadow nodded to his fiery counterpart, before Fire Davis held his right hand out and a fire formed within his glove, taking shape and turning into a silver metal sphere within the fire champion's hand.
As Fire Davis held the item outward, Kari watched with intrigue as it floated out of the champion's hand and moved a few feet from him, before projecting three images, ones that caused the former Digidestined of Light's eyes to widen and for her heart to skip a few beats.
Being projected as holograms before Kari were the rest of the Davises, who each looked upon her with surprise and love as they said in unison. "Kari!"
Sighing dreamily, Kari took a moment to take in the appearance of the three newer Davises, seeing them each dressed in robes whose colours corresponded with the realms they represented, before Kari took in their facial features.
While each of the Davises had the same faces, there were subtle differences that allowed the brunette to tell them apart, where looking upon Water Davis, Kari saw that his eyes were glowing a deep blue, while cybernetic veins seemed to run beneath his face and lead to a chip embedded within his forehead, one that reminded Kari of all the Water Realm beings she had seen so far.
Likewise, Light Davis and Nature Davis held a golden and light green shine within their eyes respectively, showing the Light and Nature energies flowing through their beings as they looked upon Kari with a combination of joy and solemness.
Smiling with love and admiration, Kari moved into the centre of the circle as Dark Davis and Fire Davis moved to join in.
As the Dark Empress ran her hand through the holographic projections, there was a great part to Kari that desired to touch and hold each of the Davises around her, to show them all the love she believed they deserved.
"You have always known how to make my life interesting." The brown haired Digidestined then said with a small giggle as she allowed herself to take a moment and to let herself feel the love of all of her beloveds upon her, before looking toward Light Davis, who held a fair expression of sadness upon his face.
"I... we did this to you, Kari... I am so sorry..." The light variant of Davis said with a growing expression of self-loathing within his tone as he sensed the dark power now infused within the Digidestined of Light.
Moving forward and moving her right hand toward the hologram, as though desiring to caress his cheek and to soothe him as best she could, Kari told Light Davis with all the love and sincerity she could muster. "I did this to myself, and you have nothing to blame yourself for..."
Keeping a warmth within her voice, Kari then said with a further love within her tone. "I would do anything for you."
With the sound of one of the Davises clearing his throat, Kari and the other Davises looked to Dark Davis, who then told the other Davises. "We can discuss who's to blame for what has happened at a later time, but for now we need to bring you all up to speed on what is happening."
"First off..." Fire Davis then said, earning everyone's attention. "They have all apparently given us nicknames so they can tell us apart when talking about us. To them, I'm Fire Davis and he's Dark Davis, so you guys are Water Davis, Light Davis and Nature Davis respectively."
"Whose idea was this?" The being of light, now known as Light Davis questioned with a fair irritation within his voice, which only grew to the way Fire and Dark Davis looked at him with a growing smirk.
"Kazu." The Shadow merely answered in reply.
"It is a logical way for those new to Nexus to tell us apart, and will make it easier for them to address us." Water Davis then remarked with a near neutral tone that sounded almost like a machine as he spoke, which caused Dark Davis to roll his eyes at hearing his water counterpart say exactly what he thought he would and to express such distance within his emotion.
"By the way, thanks for your assistance with Krytus the other day, Arch-Savant." Fire Davis then said, getting the Water Davis' attention as he looked toward him with a respectful smile.
"Again, it was the only logical course of action." Water Davis merely said in reply. "There was a ninety two point seventy percent chance that his actions would have weakened the Water Realm's defense forces, and that forced me to divert the reinforcements Krytus desired to drive off an invasion of those who took advantage of the situation."
Blinking a few times as she heard the Arch-Savant speak, his tone reminding her a little of Izzy, Kari found she had to speak her mind and ask aloud. "Does he always talk like this?"
"Yes." Fire, Dark, Light and Nature Davis all said as one, their response earning a slight glare from Water Davis, who merely remained quiet and looked to his Dark counterpart so he could continue his explanation.
"As I informed you all earlier, we are now heading to the Capital of the Dark Realm, where Kari will undergo the trials of the Dark Lords, which should stabilize the energies already coursing through her." The Shadow explained to his counterparts, his dark purple eyes looking toward Light Davis, who looked upon him with an untrusting expression.
"Is that truly the only answer?" Light Davis questioned, narrowing his eyes at his dark variant, before asking. "Or is this your way of trying to keep Kari to yourself? She is the Digidestined of Light, surely Light Mana could help her as well!"
"This is the only viable solution." Water Davis said in reply, his words receiving the attention of all of his variants. "Out of one hundred and fifty trillion simulations, using any other form of Mana to stabilize Kari's power results in a less than thirty three point seven percent chance of success. Dark Mana is the only source of power that can synchronize properly with the Obscarian energy within her being."
"I don't like the idea myself." Nature Davis then confessed, his remark receiving the attention of the Light Davis. "But if it is what is needed to save Kari, then I will put my own displeasures for the Dark Realm aside, for her sake."
Letting out a sigh of defeat, Light Davis nodded his head, before looking to the Shadow, who then told the group with a fair amount of honesty. "While Kari will have the status of a Dark Lord, she will not have to complete the oaths, she will be allowed to remain neutral within the Realm Conflicts with no troubles."
"And after we finish all this, we'll travel to the other realms and pick you guys up. The airship used by the DDF and Dark Imperium may be of Fire Realm design, but it has neutral markings, and should serve as neutral grounds." Fire Davis then said, before looking toward Water Davis and telling him. "Since the Water Realm is the closest, we'll pick you up first, then we'll head to the Nature Realm."
"I will work on my end to allow you all access into the Light Realm." Light Davis said in reply, a small frown appearing upon his face as he looked at his fiery counterpart and told him. "But I do not expect it will come so easy, not with you or the Shadow present."
"We'll cross that bridge when we get to it." Fire Davis said with an understanding tone, before the five Davises began several newer conversations, namely revolved around Kari, but also of Water Davis requesting blood samples from the Infected so he could look into a cure for those inflicted by this Virus.
Watching as five versions of her beloved conversed with each other and mentally laughing on how this gave a new meaning to the phrase "Talking to yourself", Kari remained with a dreamy smile as she looked forward to her future with all of her beloveds, while her darker side left her producing more than a fair share of "naughty" ideas she would like to try.
.
.
.
While Kari met with all five Davises, TK, Patamon, Catherine and Floramon were within the room provided to them within the Dark Citadel, a cozy and comfortable setting with a single bed that seemed out of place when compared to the rest of the aesthetics amongst the dark fortress.
As Patamon and Floramon sat upon a comfy chair, the Digimon of Hope sat within his beloved's lap as they conversed, Catherine sat on the bed and watched with a small frown as TK paced back and forth, the Digidestined of Hope still worked up and overthinking everything that had happened since they entered the Dark Realm.
"TK, please try to relax and just have a seat." The French Digidestined offered as she gently patted the side of the bed next to her, getting the attention of her fiance, before the Digidestined of Hope expressed another small sigh and took a seat by Catherine's side.
"Sorry..." TK just said as he slumped his head into his hands, the Digidestined of Hope trying to suppress his sense of growing frustration as he told Catherine. "I... I just thought that when we found Davis, then everything would be alright, that everything would calm down, but with this Dark Realm and Kari actually becoming one of these Dark Lords... I just feel like things will only get worse."
Bringing her hand up and gently rubbing TK's back, Catherine expressed a soft smile toward TK and assured him. "TK, things will only get better. Kari isn't the same Dark Empress she has been for the past five years, she... she's the Kari we knew back then again. And now that she and Davis are together, and she has five of them now, I am kind of jealous."
"Sure you are." TK grumbled, having taken noticed to how most of the girls looked upon Fire Davis and Dark Davis, which included even Suzie, who was angry that they sided with Kari, but the purple haired girl looked upon both Davises with some desire every now and again, this leaving the DDF Commander to think that even his own fiance had a crush on the multiple versions of his old friend, an irony to their younger day when the girls looked to the blond and saw him as the main focus to their attractions.
"I don't mean anything like that!" Catherine said with a fair growl, getting TK's attention as the French Digidestined composed herself and began to explain to her beloved. "I am jealous of Kari because it is rare, very rare to be able to just meet someone and know you were meant to be with each other, that you were soulmates. She and Davis met when they were just six, and as soon as their eyes met, they knew that they loved each other. To have that feeling, to have that love, to have that pain when that love was taken from her, it is both beautiful and terrifying at the same time."
Turning to TK and placing her hands lovingly upon his cheeks and gaining a loving smile in the process, Catherine then said with a warmth in her tone. "It took me years to realize that I love you and I do not regret it, I only wish I had seen that we were meant for each other the moment we first met, instead of getting swept up in your Grandfather's patriotism."
In response to the latter of Catherine's words, TK chuckled lightly, remembering that day when he, Patamon, Tai and Agumon chased after his grandfather into Versailles Palace and battled the Mamemon brothers, before he allowed his girlfriend to continue in her thoughts.
"TK, you have carried this weight with you for too long now." Catherine said as she softly and gently caressed TK's cheek. "You let the burden of leadership overwhelm you and nearly consume you, all to try and live up to Davis' expectations. You have fought against impossible odds to try and win an unwinnable war, and now, all that effort is about to pay off, Kari is reunited with Davis and she will remain here in Nexus with him. You can let go, you can let that fear, that doubt, that burden go."
"The question now isn't what could happen next, but what do you want to do next?" The French Digidestined then questioned as she looked into TK's eye, while Patamon and Floramon watched and listened from their position with great interest.
Closing his eye for a moment and taking a moment to think on Catherine's words, TK then looked into Catherine's eyes with determination as he told his fiance. "I want to see this through to the end, and not just for Kari. I want to see this through for each Davis, to reunite with them and reconnect, even with Dark Davis. I want to see the wounds between all of us heal and for us in some way to all be reunited as friends and family. I want to see more of this world, of Nexus, alongside all of them, alongside all of the Davises and Kari, not as enemies, but as friends once more!"
Her smile growing and acting on her love, Catherine leaned in and gave her beloved a deep and passionate kiss, one TK returned as he let himself relax, before the French Digidestined leaned back and said with a trusting smile. "Then that is what we are going to do, together, no matter how long it takes."
Smiling back, TK felt himself fully relaxed, feeling as though his burdens were finally lifted, while Patamon and Floramon watched with growing smiles, the plant Digimon wrapping her arms around the Digimon of Hope and enjoying their own moment together alongside their partners.
Hearing a beeping sound, however, TK and Catherine then broke from their moment as the DDF Commander answered his communicator.
"What is it?" He questioned, sounding somewhat annoyed to be disturbed as he and Catherine were expressing such romance between one another.
"Dark Davis wants us all to meet up in the Citadel's library, I think he wants to show us all around the place." Cody informed upon the other end of the communication line, Cody's words earning an understanding nod from the Digidestined of Hope.
"Alright, we'll be there." The blond said in reply.
Ending the communication as TK and Catherine got to their feet, accompanied by Patamon and Floramon as the four then moved and exited their room.
However, once the doors closed behind them and the four found themselves back in the dark and terrifying corridors of the Dark Citadel, TK, Patamon, Catherine and Floramon sweatdropping as they realized that they had no idea where they were supposed to be going.
'Down the hall... take a left... the large doors at the end...' A series of ghostly voices whispered seemingly around them, to which TK and the others gulped lightly as the skulls that made up the wall before them lit up with dark purple flames and the souls apparently bound to the fortress began to guide them.
"Um... thanks..." Patamon said with uncertainty for himself and those by his side.
'No problem...' The voices then said as the dark purple flames faded, leaving the two Digidestined and their Digimon slightly freaked out as they walked down the hallways toward their destination.
.
.

As she waited for the rest of the DDF, Dark Imperium heroes and heroines, as well as the Fire Realm natives, Kari allowed herself to take in the massive library around her, a chamber that was a hundred times larger than any library she had even visited back within the Real World, while Takuya and the other Legendary Warriors compared it to Ophanimon's castle, but commented that the library held a larger collection of books, tomes, scrolls and other notes of knowledge.
Looking over and taking in the dark tomes, Kari's focus then shifted as she sensed someone close by, the Dark Empress turning to see the fourth Dark Lord in Dark Davis' service before her.
Taking in the being's appearance, Kari saw that it was a female clad in a dark armour that covered her body, but showed off her feminine features, while a white robe covered her being as she held twin blades that were strapped to her hips, blades that held a dark red aura to them.
The Dark Lord's head was covered by her hood, showing only a pair of dark purple eyes gleaming from the darkness, while a horn-like crown rested upon her head, completing her terrifying attire.
However, it was the fact that the Dark Lord was slightly floating off the ground and that her body seemed to phase in and out in some areas that let Kari know that this being was in fact a ghost, but that fact did not bother the Dark Empress at all.
"I do not believe we have formally met yet." The former Digidestined of Light said as she smiled and faced the Dark Lord, who merely continued to look upon her with curiosity.
'I am Orphiais... Apprentice of the Shadow... and Dark Lord of the Spectral Hosts...' The ghostly Dark Lord told Kari, before she told the Dark Empress. 'And I am very curious about you...'
'You hold a great power... but I know of your past... You were just a mere mortal... a simple girl... Just how did you win the heart of a god...?' Orphiais then inquired, her question causing Kari to raise her eyebrow, but she continued to smile nonetheless as she guessed that this individual held feelings for Dark Davis, or at least respected him deeply.
"I honestly don't know." Kari confessed in reply and with a soft expression as she thought about the past she shared with Davis. "I don't know what he sees in me or what I did to deserve him in my life, but in the end, it doesn't matter."
Looking back at Orphiais, Kari then told the ghostly Dark Lord with a fiery determination. "I love Davis Motomiya and I will never be separated from him again, nor will I let anyone stand between our love!"
Nodding her head to Kari's declaration and accepting her words, Orphiais then floated down and through the floor, the actions leaving Kari slightly bewildered as she wondered if the ghostly Dark Lord would be an ally or rival toward her.
Dismissing those thoughts however, Kari moved so she could rejoin Dark Davis and Fire Davis.
As the heroes and heroines of the DDF and Dark Imperium finally arrived within the library, alongside Julie, Caleb, Victor and Kenji as they gathered around Dark Davis, Fire Davis and Kari, who all took in their surroundings.
Taking in a large number of dark robed figures maintaining the library, ones with dark metal-spiked shoulder pads and helmets that looked like several black blades that covered the faces, while each being emanated their own darkness to them which sent a chill down the spines of most within the groups.
"Ignore the necromancers, they will not harm you." The Shadow then told the others as he gestured to the robed dark mages, who were studying and maintaining the various dark tomes and scrolls within the library, the dark beings learning what dark secrets they could so to best aid them in the future, before Dark Davis began his explanation to those before him.
"We will arrive at the capital tomorrow, which will be good since the Black Moon will be in full effect by then." The Shadow then told TK and the others, this earning a look of confusion from those new to Nexus.
"When each of the five moons are full, the flow of Mana from them is at their peak, which means it's a perfect time for certain magical rituals or rites, such as the Trials of the Dark Lords." Julie then informed, letting the Digi-heroes and heroines understand the situation, before refocusing on the Shadow as he continued to speak.
"As such, I decided to show you around my Citadel since we have time." The Dark Lord then said with a glint in his eyes, before adding with a dark glee in his tone. "And since you haven't been told about it yet, I will explain a little on how Magic works in Nexus, starting with Dark Magic."
Seeing the majority of his old friends nod in reply, a few such as Izzy and Thomas seemingly intrigued to this newfound knowledge, Dark Davis began to circle around the group as he explained. "Dark Magic is actually divided into five groups of magic, Necromancy obviously, the ability to raise and command the dead, then Shadow or Void Magic, the power over Darkness itself, control over shadows and even over minds."
"Then there is Frost magic." The Shadow explained, pointing to Tommy as he told the Warrior of Ice. "Not like the ice you can control, Tommy, but the icy grip of death, the cold chill that drains the very life out of its victims."
As she listened to Dark Davis continue his explanations, Kari then felt something calling to her, a small, but ancient voice from within the library.
Curious and compelled to find the one now calling for her, the Dark Empress followed the sound as she felt the dark power drawing her in.
"Finally, you have Decay magic, the counterpower of life, and Blood magic, a favourite of the Vampire Clans, the ability to manipulate blood as a weapon." The Shadow finished, before looking to see Suzie raise her hand, her actions getting the attention of all around her as she looked at Dark Davis.
"If what you said earlier was true, that you could have brought us back from the dead if we had passed on..." The purple haired Tamer started to say as she steeled herself, both Terriermon and Lopmon looking solemnly at the young girl as she then asked in a small voice. "Does that mean you can bring Henry back?"
Silence reigned over the group as the DDF members and the Digimon Tamers on the side of the Dark Imperium looked between Suzie and Dark Davis, to see the desperate plea within the younger Tamer's eyes as the Dark Lord merely stared back at her with a faint uncertainty.
"I'm going to be honest, Suzie, I already tried." The Shadow said in reply, surprising even Fire Davis, who looked upon his dark counterpart. "When I heard that he was indeed dead, I tried to search for his soul, but I wasn't successful. This most likely means he is fully at rest. Take comfort in that."
Fighting back tears to know her brother was truly gone, Suzie looked down, but nodded her head in understanding as the others looked upon her with sympathy.
Deciding to change the subject and the mood, Kazu was the one to then speak up.
"So, those five forms of magic you mentioned, Kari will be able to…?" The brown haired Tamer started to say as his focus turned toward Kari's supposed location.
Looking to see the Dark Empress missing however, TK and the others quickly looked around, trying to find where Kari had gone off to, before Dark Davis sighed and simply instructed them. "Everyone, follow me."
Following the Shadow deeper into the library, the group eventually arrived in a circular area of the vast chamber, one with nine tomes resting upon pedestals, each emanating with their own dark energies and manifested with their own and unique dreadful appearances, with Kari standing in the middle as she looked over the various books.
While the remaining Digi-heroes and heroines shared in a sense of dread and panic around these dark books, the group found themselves even more unnerved when they looked up to see a large statue looking down upon them, one of a massive dragon, whose body was constructed entirely of bone.
A pair of massive bone-like wings emerged from out of the creature's back, razor sharp claws adorned the ends of the twisted creature's wings, while a pair of bone-like fins came out of what was guessed to be the creature's feet.
Two massive claw-like hands emerged below the head, between the neck and the arms were two smaller arms which were made of a black bone material, accompanied alongside golden claws, while a massive tail sprouted from out of the dragon's back, elongated with a long and sharp piercing tip.
Around the arms, fins and tail, replicas of magical incantations were set around the appendages of the dragon, while hollowed eyes could be seen around the dragon's shoulders, through its massive arms and wings, which all held a dark malice within its appearance, despite it being merely a statue.
Finally, the statue's head was that of a dragon's skull, with the lower jaw opening in four directions, revealing its gaping maw, four bone horns coming out of the sides of the head, while two golden horns stood out on top as a series of eyes, two massive ones and six smaller ones, glared out into the abyss.
"Mordrakus." Julie merely said to those around her, letting those new to Nexus know that the statue was that of the Dragon God of Darkness and the patron of the Dark Realm.
Looking toward her partner, Gatomon then asked with some concern in her tone. "Kari, are you alright?"
"Yes, I just felt one of these books call out to me." The Dark Empress merely said in reply, the former Digidestined of Light still herself as she looked over the tomes, much to the intrigue of both Davises and Julie, as well as the necromancers around them as many knew the dark influence these tomes could enact on those unprepared to see them.
Unbeknownst to TK and the rest of the group, Julie and Caleb had extended their auras around their new friends in order to block out the powers of the tomes and to keep the group from falling under their dark control, which would be disastrous for all.
"Which tome called to you?" Dark Davis then questioned with a curious tone, his intrigue shared by his fiery variant as they looked to see Kari point to one book in particular, one that rested on a pedestal directly underneath the statue of Mordrakus.
Looking upon the tome, everyone could see that it was a black book that seemed to be made completely out of bone and was decorated with a human skull upon the top, with a pair of two crossed arms.
Positioned around the skull face were a trio of dark purple gems, diverting the attention to the hollowed eyes of the skull being, where the eyes, and well as the pages of the book, seemed to glow with a dark purple light.
Even though it was just a book, the rest of the humans, Digimon and Appmon present felt nothing but pure evil and darkness from the item, as though it wanted to reach into their minds and use them to bring about the end of all things.
"Interesting." Dark Davis commented with an amused tone as he approached the book and commented. "The centrepiece of my entire collection."
"What is it?" Kari inquired, the brunette far more curious to know what the book was than to what it wanted of her.
"When the Dark Emperor came into existence, it is said that Mordrakus himself spoke to him, telling the Emperor of all the dark magic the Dragon God knew, where our ruler transcribed all he heard into the pages of this book." The Shadow informed as he ran his hand along the cover of the tome, before looking toward Kari and telling his beloved. "This is the Tome of Eternal Shadows, the most powerful tome in the Dark Realm, with spells that, if given the right amount of Mana and having no resistance, could turn all of Nexus into a world of the dead."
"Which is why he holds onto it." Fire Davis then said, adding as he looked toward his concerned friends. "He keeps it guarded in order to make sure it never falls into the wrong hands."
Nodding in response, Dark Davis then gained a glint in his eyes as he then looked to Kari and offered his beloved. "That said, there are some rather... interesting spells within this tome. Once you complete the Trials and we complete the ritual, perhaps we'll have a look and see what you can master?"
Though unnerved at the idea of Kari learning such dark and powerful spells, TK and the other DDF members mentally calmed themselves as they reminded themselves that Kari would not use any of this dark magic against them... at least they hoped she wouldn't.
Before anyone could be said on the issue, however, Desred appeared in a dark mist, bowing respectfully to the Shadow as he told his Master. "Forgive the interruption, my Lord, but a warband of the Wild Horde is laying siege to the border defenses. You have been summoned."
"Shit." Fire Davis growled with a fair frustration, his reaction confusing those new to Nexus, where Julie sighed as she looked at her new friends and explained the situation.
"The Wild Horde is one of the larger groups of Nature Realm warriors that fight both the Dark Realm and the Water Realm, launching brazen attacks on both in retribution for past confrontations." The silver haired champion told Kari, TK and the others.
"Unfortunately, because both sides are our allies, all of us, including our Davis here, have to sit back and watch." Caleb then explained as he looked to see the frustration on Fire Davis' face, before adding with a sigh. "That's the nature of politics in Nexus."
As they remembered the various alliances and hatreds between the realms of Nexus Fire Davis told them about, those new to Nexus now realized how complicated, and messed up, the Realm conflicts were, knowing that even if Fire Davis had friends on either side of this upcoming battle, he would be unable to do anything to help either, less his actions affected the age old alliances between the realms and Nexus itself.
"Have the Dark Citadel continue back toward the Capital, I will take a small force to help the border defenses." The Shadow ordered, getting a nod from Desred, before Dark Davis then looked to his fiery counterpart and the rest of his guests and then told his right hand with a further command. "Bring them to the theatre as well so they can observe the battle."
"Yes, my Lord." Desred said in reply, before watching as his Master disappeared in a dark mist.
Watching as Dark Davis took his leave, the group then followed Desred out of the library as they prepared to witness another conflict between the Realms of Nexus.
.

Emerging through a dark vortex alongside Cyoton and three hundred of his Bone Guards, Dark Davis surveyed the battlefield, to see a great legion of Dark Realm forces engaging in battle against a horde of hundreds, if not thousands of Nature Realm creatures, which consisted of various forms of beastkin, half man and half beast savages alike which made up the most populous of the Nature Realm's inhabitants.
Seeing the numerous creatures clashing with the undead forces arrayed against them, the Shadow growled to himself.
"I have no time for this." He remarked with a fair annoyance within his voice.
After twenty thousand years and finally having Kari by his side once again, Dark Davis wanted nothing more than to end this defiance of the Dark Realm quickly and remind the filth of the Nature Realm why they should fear the darkness.
"Then let us deal with this rabble and remind them of the fear of death." Belezar then said, his words causing Dark Davis to smirk as his helmet reformed from shadows upon his head, and the Dark Lord brought his hand up toward the skies.
The dark purple gem on his hand then glowed with a powerful dark purple light as shadows shot out of the item and into the sky, before forming a massive dark vortex, where the beastkin looked upward and let out roars and shrieks of defiance and rage, all knowing that the Shadow had descended to face them.
From the vortex, a massive ball of black feathers descended, before spreading outwards, revealing a dark entity made completely out of bones, with its legs crossed as though it was in a seated position, while spine-like tendrils moved around the creature's waist.
Two bone-like blades came out of the Shadow Demon's wrists, while within the palms of its claws were twin gaping holes, each of which emanated with darkness from within.
Finally, the being's head resembled that of a mouthless jackal that had a pair of twin ram-like horns protruding from its head and a pair of glowing dark purple eyes which gazed down and upon the horde of beastkin as Belezar prepared to show these insects the true meaning of despair and death.
Summoning his rune blade and preparing to fight himself, while also knowing that Kari and his old friends were watching, Dark Davis prepared to end this battle quickly and painfully in the name of the Darkness.
