Hodr opened his eyes, as he began to realize that he is laying down on the ground. He felt the ground...and it didn't feel, hard. It felt a little more comfortable.then the bed that he is on. Hodr then stood up, as he looks around the area that he is in. He sees that he is inside of an empty black space, with the only thing that isn't black...is the white dots that are on the ground that has made a series of paths. The white dots appears to resemble snow, or stars, and they are shining and twinkling, so that they can be clearly shown. Coming down from above, is the black snow, once again. But they don't get in the way of Hodr, as there is only a little bit coming down.

Hodr's clothes are also different. He now wears soft pants that are wide at the bottom of his legs, and wears a black hoodie that reaches past his waist and to the top part of his legs. The hood is over his face and covers it in shadows.

"Oh...back in this place, huh? It's been a while since I went back into it. And I'm wearing bigger versions of my Pajamas again when I was little."

Hodr said, as he looked around the area that he is inside of now. He is not surprised that he is inside of this realm. Truth is, he always comes here whenever he sleeps. He has ventured into this place ever since he was 10, a year after his family had been taken from him. Inside of this, Dreamscape, he would often times look into the memories that he had long since forgotten, memories that he had stored inside for a very long time. However, he is not the only one that is inside of this strange realm.

Hodr began to walk around in the area that he is in, every step he takes made the ground ripple, as if he is stepping in an area full of puddles. Traveling and following the path made of snow and stars, Hodr continues to walk, as he feels cold air on his face, despite the fact that temperatures are not in such a place like this. It's almost as if the feelings of cold are being stimulated inside of his own body, making him think that it is in the air itself.

As Hodr kept on moving, he would often look to the side, almost as if he is afraid that there is something that is looking at him. But Hodr had not felt afraid in a long time. In fact, he has forgotten to feel afraid. The only time when he has ever felt afraid and is reminded of that...is when he is reminded of his past memory of his Old Friend. And even then, he would forget it, as he cries himself to sleep for it.

As he walks...a voice spoke out.

"Ahhh...so you decide to come back in here again."

This made Hodr stop, as he turns around to see that it is none other then Loki inside of this realm. Loki's appearance has gain some major changes once again. He now has new hind legs, now looking similar to that of a Fox or a wolf. He no longer has the antlers and the Ram horns. Now he has the horns of an Impala, a type of antelope, with ears resembling that of a wolf's ears. And now, coming out of his back, are 6 bladed spider-like appendages, and they are pointing downwards. He still keeps his demon tail, though. But other then that, everything else is the same. He is an inch shorter from his deer appearance, but is still taller then Hodr.

Loki smiled, as he looked around the area that he is in, as he then spoke out.

"I thought that you would no longer be able to access it, especially after what 'she' had put you through."

Hodr nodded, as he then spoke out.

"Yeah, I thought the same as well. Guess I can now enter it once again."

Loki smiled, as he spoke out.

"Well, that's good. I was starting to miss having you inside of this place."

Loki then snapped his fingers, and sat down onto a chair made of white light, as Hodr shook his head.

"You always do whatever you want inside of this place, Loki."

Loki had somewhat of a smirk on his face that screams 'I know I'm able to,' as he then boasted to Hodr.

"Of course I can do what I want inside of this place, Hodr. I am always the one in control of it after all."

Hodr rolled his eyes. Of course he would say something like that, even though what he says is true. Loki does have full control over this place. He can do almost anything that he wants inside of this place that exists inside of Hodr's consciousness, even though it is only limited to the inside of Hodr's mind and not the outside. All he can do outside is speak to Hodr, and that is it.

Hodr then looks around the place that he is in, as he then spoke out.

"So...what do I do, now that I am back inside of this place again?"

Loki shrugged his shoulders, as he then spoke out to him.

"You can do whatever you want to do, Hodr. We can even use this to speak to each other like we always did, back in the old days."

Hodr nodded his head, as he then looks down at the ground, thinking about it for a little, as he then spoke out.

"Loki...be honest with me...is having me work at a place of assassinating people, the right thing to do for me?"

Loki looks at Hodr for a little bit, as he then spoke out.

"Honestly, I don't know. But since they are letting you in...I'd say that it is for the best."

Hodr continues to looks down, as he then spoke out.

"That is...if we can call it the best. The only good thing that came out of it was reuniting with Mrs. Mayberry, and that is it. How about when we go against Martha and her family a couple of weeks ago? Is that good?"

Loki shook his head.

"No. but...they are letting us stay at their building. So it should be good enough. Besides, the fact that we are helping them, even if it is for morbid reasons, is good enough."

Hodr then looks back up at Loki, as he spoke out.

"I hope so."

Loki nodded, as Hodr turned and walked away, as he ventured deep into the Dream Realm that he is in. And after a few minutes of walking, he goes and sees that there is a doorway in front of him, but no buildings and houses in front of it. Yet, there is a room inside. Hodr enters the room, the black snow stopped coming down, and he sees that he is in a room that has black walls, a green soft floor, and a bed that is colored icy blue. Hodr got closer to the bed, as he whispered to himself.

"My old bedroom..."

Hodr looks down at the bed, before he goes inside of the covers, and rests his head in it, as he waits to wake up.


Morning came, and Hodr is now awake, his eyes opening from being back inside of that...other place, and he stood up. He stretched his arms, as Loki appeared beside him, and spoke out.

"Well, at least you get to be back inside of my place. Now you should be able to access the realm whenever you want."

Hodr nodded, his hair over his face, as he stood up, and the blanket went off of him. The cold air touched his entire bare body, minus the rope that is surrounding him, as he goes into the drawers and took out his clothes. He puts them on, along with his jacket, hood over his head, and he goes down the stairs, as he decides to take a stack of paper from a desk while downstairs. Blitzø told him yesterday to take the Paperwork to his desk for him and Moxxie to write and check on. Hodr agreed, as he brings them to the main room of the building, after he opens the door and closes it. But as he did, a white paw slammed onto the paper work in his hand, as a familiar female voice spoke out.

"Hah, you dumbass!! You can't do anything right, huh?"

Hodr blankly looks up, as he sees a familiar Hellhound towering above him.

A day after Martha and her family were killed, Loona, for some unknown reason, decided to be take an interest in making him hurt for some reason. She would call him names, taunt him with everything that she has, and do whatever it takes to make his life torture here. And Hodr, he does not get why she is doing this. But it's not like it matters to him. Blitzø did try to talk Loona out of it, but all he can say to him is this.

"Sorry, Hodrick, nothin' I can do for ya."

And now, it seems that Loona wants to ruin his work, which she has done halfway during the couple of weeks he is inside of I.M.P. But Hodr is not bothered by this, as he simply scooped down, picked up the pieces of paper on the floor, before he then stood up, and walked over to the desks again. No reaction was seen. Loona got frustrated and angry at the fact that Hodr merely ignored her, as she then spoke out.

"Hey, quit treating me like I'm not here! At least fucking say something to me!"

She ran up and swiped one of her hind legs at Hodr, which made him trip and fall to the ground, as he fell flat on his face.

"Uhhh, Loona, can you-"

Moxxie was about to speak, but Loona shouted out.

"Shut up, Fatass!! This does not concern you!!"

Moxxie shuts up, as Hodr stood up, and grabs the pieces of paper without complaint. Millie doesn't do anything, but she looks disapprovingly at Loona for what she is doing, as Loona spoke out.

"You're still doing this?! Come on, you're useless! You can't even do something as simple as work on fucking paper!"

'I'm already aware of that.'

Hodr thought to himself, as he picks up the pieces of paper, and continues to ignore her, as Loona spoke out.

"Why aren't you fucking saying anything?!"

Hodr does not respond back, as he tries to regain the stack, and Loki spoke out, glaring at Loona, as he spoke out to Hodr.

"Geez, what is a bitch. She's been doing this for no reason. Doesn't she have anything else better to do, like be on her fucking phone?"

Hodr does not say anything, as Loona gets frustrated.

"Why aren't you complaining?! Say something, anything!"

But Hodr finishes the stack, as he thought to himself.

'I already be called many bad things a bunch of times, Loona. What you say is nothing compare to what I say to myself everyday.'

Hodr then finished, as he stood back up, and he continues forward. Blitzø does seem surprised that Hodr is not reacting badly and even said anything offensive to Loona. Whenever Loona victimizes Moxxie, the white-haired Imp would verbally fight back against Loona, and Blitzø, being the one that loves Loona a little too much, even with her bad behavior, would defend her, giving Moxxie even more grief than before. as he spoke out.

"Wow, and he even has good manners as to not say anything shitty to you, Loonie. Isn't that wonderful, my bwaby girl?~?•

Blitzø finished in his baby-talk voice, as Loona did not feel wonderful about this at all. In fact, she felt even more frustrated then ever before, as she shouted out.

"No, there is nothing wonderful about it! It feels absolutely shitty that he is doing this!"

She than rushes at him, as she shouted out.

"SO STOP FUCKING IGNORING ME, YOU LITTLE BITCH!!!!"

Before Hodr even knew it, Loona swiped her hand as fast as anyone can see, and a Hodr suddenly felt something...4 cuts on his back, as it made him collapse. He dropped the paper, as he fell to the floor. He felt the pain...and yet, he did not scream in agony, as he silently fell down to the ground, hands and knees touching it.

"Hodr!!!"

Moxxie and Millie shouted, as they ran to him, and they touched him, as Moxxie spoke out.

"Loona, that was too far! You had hurt one of our employees!"

Millie then spoke out to Hodr, concerned in how he is feeling.

"Hodr, are you okay?"

Hodr did not answer, as he began to stand up, and Blitzø, being as adoring to Loona as always, spoke out to Moxxie.

"Hey, Moxxie, don't fucking shout at my baby girl over something like this!"

Loona scoffed, as she crossed her arms.

"Besides, I only sliced the jacket, it's not like a sliced anywhere else on him."

But Millie looked, and she realizes that Loona is wrong. There is red on his jacket; and it is coming down.

"No, Loona! You did hurt him! You fucking sliced his back! Look!"

Loona looked offended at Millie, almost as if she is accusing him, as she spoke out.

"What the fuck are you talking about?! All I did was-"

Then, the sound of a drop was heard, a small splat, as everyone looked at Hodr, and Loona's eyes widened, realizing what she did, as she finished her sentence.

"...scare...him."

Everyone looked at Hodr, and they see that it is not just the jacket that had been sliced. Hodr's back had actually been sliced as well. 4 cuts of Loona's claws, as the blood began to drip down from his back, as Hodr stood up, while his legs shake. The blood began to blossom onto the back of his jacket.

"Oh..."

Loona spoke out. Clearly, this is not what she intended. Silence continued, as Hodr then bent down, and picked up the pieces of paper, acting like that the pain isn't there, as he then walked to the does in front of him.

"Hodr, wait!! We need to give you first aid!"

Millie said, as Hodr did not stop, and he spoke out in his normally flat tone.

"I'm fine, Millie."

Moxxie, who looked at Hodr with concern, spoke out.

"You're not fine! You've been clawed at the back!! You're bleeding!!"

"So?"

Hodr questioned back at Moxxie, and this made everyone look at Hodr like he said something crazy.

"What do you mean, 'so'?! You've been sliced! You're hurt!"

Moxxie shouted out, and Hodr stopped, as he spoke out.

"I'm already used to that."

This made everyone stop, as Millie spoke out.

"Wha'? Wha do ya mean, you're used to getting fucked up?!"

Hodr was silent, looking at the stack of papers in his hand, as he spoke out.

"I've been used to getting hurt a lot of times. I'm used to getting punched, kicked, bashed, bled, all that sort of stuff, like so many days. I had my bones nearly broken, my organs nearly damaged so badly to the point it kills me. I've been hurt countless times. This ain't anything new. Doesn't bother me much anyway. Even being as alive as I am hurts me all the time. Even a second of it gives me pain. Besides...why would you all care?"

No response, as the Imps looked agape at him, their mouths wide open, at the fact that Hodr accepts being hurt all the time. Nobody, not even Loona, is willing to accept getting hurt! So why Hodr is not bothered by this, and how he accepts it, even in how he had described it, is beyond them. Hodr goes to to desk, places the work paper on the desk for Moxxie and Blitzø, as he walked away, passing by Loona, as if she is not there, with Loona looked just as confused, as he spoke out.

"I'm going outside. Still a lot to get around. I'll come back tomorrow morning."

Loona then spoke out.

"Hey, wait one fucking second!"

Loona grabbed him by the arm, but when she did, his arm glowed, and Loona recoiled in pain, the freezing cold on his arms burned her a little, as Hodr went outside. His hood over his head, and he opens the door, before closing it. Moxxie then spoke out, his tone mad.

"Well, Loona. Are you satisfied?"

Loona growled, as she spoke out.

"Shut up, Moxxie, you aren't any better!"

But Moxxie then spoke out.

"At least I don't lash out at other people for piss poor reasons. It's enough to assault me. But severely injuring one of our employees...at least I draw a line on that."

"Why you fucking-"

This made Loona even madder, and Blitzø, not wanting to hear Moxxie badmouth his daughter any further, even though he himself is disturbed by how Hodr acted, spoke out.

"Okay, that's enough of this shit. Moxxie, I need you to work with me on the papers. No fucking arguments!"

Moxxie sighed, deciding to end it, sighed, and nodded, as he spoke out.

"Fine, sir."

Moxxie and Blitzø go to the desk and get the paper from the table, as Millie then goes back and does he own stuff, although she glared at Loona for what she's done for a second, as Loona sighed, and goes to her desk that has a phone that is a bone of some sort, as she sat down and looked at her phone. But even so...she can't help but...feel a little strange about what she has done. She almost feels like shit for it, even though she isn't supposed to. So why...why is she feeling like shit?


Hodr sighed, as he puts his hands on his pocket, Grimoire in his jacket's coat pocket, the locket dangling from his neck, as he continued forward. Loki looks back at the I.M.P building, as he spoke out in a low, yet very angry tone.

"The nerve of that fucking mutt. It's bad enough to call you by names, taunt you, and ruin your work. But to hurt you...she's fucking pissed me off."

Hodr said nothing, as he continued to walk around. The pain didn't bother him that much. After all, he had been through a lot of shit in the past, and this is barley anything new. But the way that Moxxie and Millie freaked out about it...

"I don't get it. Why are they bothering me over a simple wound? It's isn't that much importance, right? Plus...why would they care of patching me up?"

Hodr has never felt that way before. After all, he had been wounded, and nobody came to help him. All he does his wait for the wound to fix itself, as Hodr is left all on his one to suffer for it. Nobody even dared come for him. They simply leave him be. He's used to this. He's used to this sort of thing happening to him. And that cut...it almost feels so...cold...


Hodr can feel his knees hurt, along with his wrists and neck, as they touched the freezing floor of a dark room, chains dangle from above, 3 wrapped around his back and arms, as concrete surround the walls, ceiling, and floor. Hodr felt cuts being sliced onto his back, tears coming down his eyes and his mouth curled and clenched into one of saddened pain, his body shakes from the agony that he is forced to feel onto him, and a familiar female voice spoke out to him, that tone that sounded so kind, yet is laced with sweet cruelty.

"That's it, Hodr. Your pain is how I love you. Your devolution to me is why I lust for you and your soul. You belong to me"

A hand strokes his face, and Hodr felt a whimper escape his mouth.

"You belong to no one else but me..."

The female voice said, as blond hair gets into his vision."


Hodr looks up, as he blinked. The entire area changed back to the city he is in. Hodr...he felt his arms shake, and his mouth curl a little bit, as he then clenched his hand onto his locket. His breathing changed, becoming erratic and fast, as he felt his body become cold, like he is in a winter storm of some sort. He could feel his eyes, they are beginning to burn for some reason, almost as if something is trying to force out of him. And yet...it just can't do it.

Hodr then took a few deep breaths, as he felt the shaking on his arms beginning to cease. And after a little bit, he calmed down. Hodr sighed, as he looks at his hand clenching onto his locket, as he spoke out.

"Why am I always reminded of that...that time?"

Hodr shook his head, as he decides to not pay attention to it. Hodr then looks up, although the shadows of his hood still covers his eyes, as he then spoke out.

"Maybe I should take teleport to take a look around the Pride Ring. After all, I'm curious about the cities that exist around here."

Hodr took a deep breath, and he extended his hand, before he then made a portal to a city, and he walks into it, the portal closes behind him. The city he chose has a sign above, which is called Pentagram City. Apparently, this is very populated with Hellborn and Sinner Demons. Hodr took a deep breath, as he starts to go around the area that he is in. He does not know what part of Pentagram City that he is in, but if he were to guess, he must be near the edge of it.

He looks and sees a lot of depravity. He sees Sinners get run over by cars, getting murdered by one another, either sinner, Hellborn, and he sees that some of the demons closely resemble humans, while others resemble animals or anything that is advanced technology. Hodr frowned, as he continues to walk.

"Geez. Thought Imp City was bad. But this...this is an even worse shithole then that. I wonder how Hell even deals with the amount of fucking demons present there, which equals a lot of chaotic disasters all over."

Loki said, as he floats next to Hodr. But Hodr has no answer, nor does he care, as he continues to walk away. But as he did...a red blur was seen in his field of view, and Hodr, seeing this, immediately jumped back. Hodr looked, and a familiar voice spoke out.

"Hah!! I knew I'd find you, morsel!!"

This made Hodr look, and he realized who it is. Standing before him is a female that is tall in height. She wore jeans that are torn to her knees, and wore a red shirt with darker blood red stripes, in formations similar to veins, and Pentagrams all over where the red dots used to be, and with a tail that is similar to that of an Imp's, but longer, wider, and stronger. She has yellow sclera and red irises on her left eye, but her right eye...the eye socket resembles a mouth, with teeth acting as the eye lashes, and 2 irises present inside of them. The mouth that is normally placed has 2 pairs of teeth at the top and bottom, and appears to have 2 jaws, one behind the jaw that is normally placed. The teeth resembles that of a Hyena's, and on top of her head, she has horns that resemble that of a goat's, as it arches backwards. But the blond hair was familiar, even with the streak of silver present. His eyes narrowed, as he spoke out.

"Oh, if it isn't the cannibalistic satan worshipper. Of course you'd arrive here. Martha, isn't it? Are you enjoying your life in hell?"

Hodr, having learned of her name from Mrs. Mayberry after Blitzø explained to them when they were out of the building while it was on fire, is not surprised to see her down in Hell. After all, she has been down in hell for what she has done, due to what she and her family have been doing. So it is fitting that she gets to be in a spot like this, as well as her appearance. But Martha snarled in a rage, as she spoke out.

"You!!! You and your devils have ruined everything!!! All for Satan's work!!!! His evil could have been spread!!!! It was the greatest gift to ever have!!!"

Hodr glared a little calmly, as he spoke out.

"Satan? Based on your habits, I would have mistake you for a worshipper of Beelzebub, since the way you kill your victims is gluttonous."

This made Martha get angrier, due to how he mocked her of who she worships, as Hodr spoke out.

"Besides...there is one thing that I don't understand. Why? Why would you do all of this? What motivated you and your family to praise Satan and do all of those unthinkable acts of sin? There was no reason to commit such acts of cruelty in the first place."

Martha clenched her fist, but her mouth twisted from a snarl to a grin, as she spoke out.

"Why? Hehehehehehe? It doesn't matter, especially since I will feast on your body!! Satan will finally notice me and make me his servant!!"

Hodr took a step back, as he spoke out.

"I doubt that you will get such a chance like that."

Hodr thinks for a second, realizing something, before he then spoke out.

"And if I were to bet, your family is with you."

Martha smiled wickedly, even more so then ever, as she spoke out.

"But of course."

Then, Ralphie and the 2 kids came out. Ralphie resembles a demon with pale skin, his teeth are now all golden, and has blood red shirr with black stripes, and his jeans have holes in it, all of them at the front, and some of them at the back of his jeans. The daughter with the pigtails has black hair, has bears of a bat, and sharp fangs, with purple skin, as well as red irises and purple sclera, and the son, his eyes are simply red dots, grey skin, with bat-like wings on his arms, and claws. The 2 children have sharp teeth in their mouth, with the daughter having yellow teeth, and the son having green teeth. Hodr narrowed his eyes, as he stepped back, and got ready for a fight.

"Here we go, with your husband and kids. Very fitting that they're here in hell with you."

Hodr said, not caring of what he says. Hodr then snapped his fingers, and launched fire at them, as it exploded and hit them. This made them stumble back, as Hodr ran. But Martha than spoke out.

"I know you don't! Our teeth is hungering for your flesh!!!"

Martha and the others chased after him, as Hodr ran as fast as he can. He blocked gunfire and ran at the same time. Bit the fact that Ralphie and Martha are both using guns at the same time is being difficult. As he looks back, he did not notice that the son is flying above him. As he turns around and forward, he saw the son coming to him fast. Not wanting to get slammed into, Hodr tries to move out of the way...but the son opened his jaw wide, and tore a chunk of the flesh off of his shoulder. This made Hodr hiss in pain, but he did not stop, as he puts down the shield a little bit, so the son would fly past him without issue, and Hodr does all that he can to avoid them. He then jumps to a ladder and used the Sigil underneath him to leap up again, as Hodr climbed the ladder. The son tries to eat his face, but Hodr raided his shield and the son slammed into it, hurting his face, and making him fall down. Ralphie catches him, as Hodr climbed the ladder, and goes on top of the building. That will give him more room to fight. But unbeknownst to Hodr, the apartment he is on top of...is next to a section of Hell, called the Cannibal Colony. Uh oh.

As Hodr looked, Martha and her family came up to the building, rifles in hand, as Martha smiled sinisterly.

"Well, well...it appears that we have finally cornered our prey. Now to finally kill you in Satan's name!"

The Son smiled in such a creepy way, as be spoke out.

"I'll make one of your eyes my Yo-Yo!"

The Daughter spoke out.

"Your teeth will be my new earrings."

Ralphie then aimed his rifle, as he spoke out.

"Say goodbye, little man."

Hodr narrowed his eyes, as he launched fireballs at Martha and her family. But the Husband got in the way and bats it back at Hodr, who than dodged the attack. Hodr was about to attack, but the daughter went to him fast, and used her claws to slice his hip. This made Hodr grunt, before the son used his own claws to slice him at his legs, which made him stumble a little bit. Then, Ralphie grabbed him by the jacket, lifted him up, before he punched him hard in the face, his nose didn't break, but it did bleed. As Hodr then began to stand up, only for feel a little bit weakened, as he felt himself falling down a little bit.

"No, Hodr, get up! You are not dying in this!!"

Loki shouted, appearing next to Hodr, as tries to get up. Although he does want to die, not when he becomes food for a family of cannibals. LAs he stood up, Martha grabbed him by the rope, tugging at it, and made Hodr struggle a little bit in breathing, although not at risk of being hanged to death like he tried to before, as he looks at Martha's face, before she spoke out.

"How pathetic you are! You had made a mistake killing me and the rest of my family!! And now, once we kill you, we will feast on your corpse, and use your organs as decor, our shrine, for Satan to listen to our prayers! Your body, will be our property!!"

Martha finished, but the moment she said property, and when she grabbed onto Hodr's locket, tugging at it and threatening to snap it off of his neck, Hodr froze. He did not freeze in fear, and it is not of the threat that Martha has made, but at the last part she said. Property. Hodr's eyes widened, remembering that phrase, a phrase that always made him shake badly, one that he has been considered one to for so long, and he looks a down at the locket in Martha's hand, ready to be ripped off of him. Then...something burst.


A golden light appeared inside of a room, all from the warm sun, as Hodr, at the age of 9, looked around the roll that the is in. The room has blue walls and a white fluffy floor, as a woman spoke out.

"Oh, Hodr. I got something for you~."

Hodr looked in front of him, and sees a woman in her early 30s. She has black hair, wears a green shirt that has straps that go on her shoulders, and a beautiful face. But her eyes aren't seen, as they are covered in shadows, even when the sun is there. She bends down, and she holds a locket in her hand, as she spoke out.

"Happy birthday."

She extends her hand, and brings the locket close to Hodr, who reaches out to take it, but hesitated, as she spoke out.

"You can take it. You don't need to hesitate."

she giggled, the giggle was sounding so girlish, yet, it comes from an adult. Hodr looks, before he then grabs onto the Locket, and holds it in his hand. Then, the woman grabs onto Hodr's hand holding the locket, using both hands, as she spoke out.

"I want you to keep this for me, Hodr. Do not forget me when I am gone. This locket...will hold the memory of all of us, even when we are gone. After all, memories are the most special treasure to all humans."

Hodr looks at his locket, and he clicked it open, and he looks to see what is inside.


As Martha was about to tear the locket off of him, Hodr them grabbed onto the rope that is around him, and froze it, and the other hand grabbed her face, and began to burn ice into it. Martha screamed, as she lets go of the locket, and Hodr jumps off of her, the frozen rope around his neck shatters into a bunch of pieces, as Hodr looks at them. His hands are now icy blue, even more so then before, and he now has a frown upon his face.

"Martha! You little rat, you're gonna pay for this!!!"

Ralphie roared out, as he then aimed his rifle at Hodr. But Hodr does not give him a second to take action. He runs up, and coats the rifle on ice, as he than breaks the rifle with his bare hands. Hodr the. Head butted Ralphie in the face, before he than punched him, knocking a tooth out, and sending him down to the ground. As to at happened, The 2 children of Martha and Ralphie began to rush at him.

"Leave our parents alone!!!"

Both sons and daughter said together. But Hodr then made icy chains out of nowhere and slammed them hard, hurting their bodies and making them cry. Their wails and sobbing sound so much like the sobbing of a normal human, and normally, Hodr would feel remorseful about it. But Hodr does not feel remorse. He doesn't know how to. He does not even know how to empathize. No, he feels something inside of him.

"You little fucker!! I'm gonna-!"

Martha cried out, as she then points her own rifle at Hodr. But Hodr then made of icy beam from his hands, and froze the rifle solid, before it shattered into bits. Martha looked stunned, as Hodr then swung his hand down, and all of a sudden, shards on fire came down as fast as meteorites, as they slammed all over the area, causing a lot of pain to Martha and the other members of her family surrounding him. Martha and Ralphie, as well as the 2 children, cried in pain. But Hodr felt nothing but scone and rage. And the rage within him, it was a very cold one, as cold as the blizzard itself, as sadistic as the ice that bites away at the skin of humans. Hodr then made frost-covered chains appear and wrapped them around Martha and her family, as Martha looked scared, seeing the expression face he has. His hair lifts up, revealing that his irises have turned to a fiery red, the pupils an icu blue, and are now no longer their normal color. He walks up to Martha, as she spoke out, her voice now filed with fear.

"N-Now dear. You...you wouldn't kill us, would you? I that you aren't that willing to do it! You only hurt, that is all!"

Hodr looks, as he spoke out.

"You'd be right on that. I'd never kill, nor would I ever take pleasure in it. You're right that I would never kill you, even after all that you have done."

Martha almost looked relieved, and so did the others. They think that they will be spared. However...

"But...who said that 'I'...would be the to kill you?"

This made Martha and the others looked confused and scared, as Hodr moved forward, and looked down at the building, and Martha and the others did the same. Down there, a dozen of cannibalistic demons are feasting on the corpses of a larger demon. Hodr looks at Martha, as she spoke out.

"No, no!! You said you wouldn't kill us!!"

Martha shouted, fearing for herself and her family. Hodr then looks at her and spoke out.

"Yeah. I said that I wouldn't kill you. But I never said anything else, killing you."

Martha and the others are scared, as the children screamed in fear of what will happen to them, tears leaked out of their eyes at the thought of what is about to happen to them. Hodr looks down and spoke out

"Hey, fellas!"

The demons looked up, and Hodr spoke out.

"Eat up!"

Hodr also looked down, as he whispered

"This one is for you, Mrs. Mayberry."

The chains loosened, and Martha and the others fell down. When they did, the cannibalistic demons, all of which are female, then went to them and began to feast on them. It became a festival of screams and agony, as Martha felt one of her breasts ripped out and munched on, a bit of Ralphie's face munched on, his eyes included, and the 2 children hugging each other, screaming for their lives. Blood, lungs, stomach, intestines, and flesh flapped and splattered on the ground, as Hodr looked down with a cold stare. Hodr sighed, as Loki spoke out.

"Wow, that is fucking intense. But, it seems very fitting that the cannibalistic family gets cannibalized themselves for what they had done. Nice job out there, Hodr."

Hodr said nothing, as he looked down at what is happening to the family. He can hear the screeches of terror and agony pierce his soul. On some level, he felt very saddened that he kills people, even if it is not by his own hands, and wonders if he will go to hell for this. But on the other hand, the family tried to take something from him, Martha, tried to take his locket, and he will not allow it. And yet, even so...he could not bring himself to hate the family and Martha, even after all she has done. Hodr sighed, as he then spoke out.

"I'm so tired. I can do this anymore. I...I just want to rest."

Hodr then looks behind him, and spoke out.

"And I think I have enough power for one more teleport for today."

Loki looks at Hodr, as he spoke out.

"You don't want to get back to I.M.P? Come on, Hodr."

Loki then goes past Hodr, and changes his form into a physical appearance that resembles Loona, the pentagram string on the front glowing white, and the moon on the shorts also glow, along with the eyes glowing white, as Loki spoke out.

"You became ruthless enough to kill the family, even if it is not by your hand. You can now be tough enough to make Loona pay for what she has done!"

Hodr shook his head.

"Not worth it. Besides, I'm used to pain."

Loki shrugged, as he bends forward and used his index finger and strokes Hodr's chin, while still taking on the form of Loona.

"Whatever you say, Hodr."

Loki chuckled as he vanished in thin air. Hodr then looked and saw that the blood on his shoulder hardens into a big blood clot, as the bite wounds that the son gave him didn't hurt as much this time. Hodr then walks forward, as he vanished in a form of red blur, as he teleports back to I.M.P City.


Hodr sighed, as he walks in Iml City again. Clearly, this is not how he wanted to go on about his day. But he should have expected for something like this to happen. After all, Martha and her family committed a sin very unforgivable, and after all that they had done, after what happened, he is not sorry for them a single bit, despite how awful he feels with them. He shook his head, as he then looks and sees a hotel, it looks a little bit broken in some areas, but it looks mostly good, with the hotel called Imp Hotel, and it is just a mile away from I.M.P. Hodr took a deep breath, and luckily, he is able to make some money, after researching the currency in Hell, Moxxie and Millie gave it to him, as Hodr goes to the door. He waved his hand, turning himself particularly into his demon form, antlers and horns appear, his skin turning mostly purple, although it is normal in some areas, and hair becoming white, as he moves inside.

The inside was surprisingly clean, benches and furnitures aligned very nicely, and the receptionist at the desk, a female imp with white hair and is taller then Millie, although shorter then Blitzø, wearing a white business shirt and has a curvy figure, red cleavage showing, as she looks at Hodr and spoke out.

"How long is your stay?"

The imp spoke in a cold tone. Hodr spoke back in a tone that is flat.

"Just for today. I'll be out tomorrow."

The Imp nodded, as Hodr gave out the cash, and the Imp took it, before she spoke out.

"Name?"

"Hodr."

"Age?"

"19."

"Birth Date?"

"March 9th, 2004."

The receptionist nodded, as she spoke out.

"Here's your key to your room."

Hodr nodded, as he took the key and spoke out.

"Thank you."

Hodr then walked away, as the receptionist became busy with her own stuff, and Hodr walked in the hallway of doors. Hodr kept his disguise up for as long has he keeps on concentrating on it. Hodr kept on walking, until he went to nearly the end of the corridor, and he sees the correct room number. Hodr sighed, before he then grabbed onto the key, insert it into the door, turned it, which clicked, before he took it out and he opened it.

He closed the door behind him, as Hodr moved into the room. Surprisingly, it looks comfortable, as there is a chair, a bed big enough for Hodr's size, lamp, and a T.V Screen attached to the wall in front of the Bed itself. Hodr then looked around, as he checked the upper corner of the walls to see if there are any cameras present. Luckily, there aren't any cameras. Hodr took a deep breath and breathed out silently. He doesn't even sense cameras inside of the building at all. But then again, why would you put security camera in hell? Well, unless you are a person who is greedy and want to keep your wealth, then you most likely would want to do it.

Hodr then took a deep breath, as he got out of his disguise, his normal skin and hair present, as he looks and sees a mirror at the opposite end of the door, which is next to the bed's other side. Hodr approaches the mirror, and he looks to see outside that the sun is about to come down. Hodr then looked around, before he goes to a lamp, and brightened the room. He then goes back to the mirror, and he looks at himself. His long hair is around his neck. But he then gripped his hair on both sides, before he pulled it away, and he looks at his neck, or more specifically, at the part where the rope used to wrap around him.

On his neck, underneath the rope, is a scar, one that has been shaped to resemble chains. The scar also has an appearance resembles closely to frostbite, dark blue and grey, as well as some cracks in the scar itself. Hodr touched his neck, feeling the cold tingling on him, one that he had felt for over a year, ever since he was 18. Hodr looked at it for about 3 minutes. Hodr does not speak, as he observes how the scar wrapped around his neck, right in the middle of it all. Hodr looks down, and Loki spoke out.

"Hey. Don't think about that for now."

Hodr stopped, as he turns to see Loki, now in his previous form, where he has the Impala's horns and new hind feel and all of that. Loki spoke out.

"Best not be reminded of a painful memories right now, okay? It's already bad enough with Martha making your day bad. Do not make it worse."

Hodr looks at Loki, his red and blue eyes stared at him, and he looks down for a little bit, before he puffed silently. He walks away from the Mirror, as he sat onto the bed, before he pulls out the covers, as Loki spoke out.

"Yeah, best to get some rest. After all, you did have a rough time. Goodnight, Hodr."

Hodr nodded, as he puts the covers over his body, his face looks at the door in front of him, the keyhole looks at Hodr, far away to see his entire body, although he is not under the covers, not drawers blocking his way. Hodr sighed, as he goes into the covers, and closed his eyes, unaware of the fact that will be reminded of what is the worst thing to happen to him, as the dreams decided to torment him with the most torturous experience of his life.


The feeling of cold and hard pressed against the skin of Hodr, as he is feeling his entire body beginning to shake a little bit. He felt a pain unlike any other, as punch in his back, a kick in his stomach, a slap across his face, as his breath shook.

"P-Please...stop."

Hodr's voice spoke out weakly, as he is on the floor. He is clothed min a red sweater with jeans on him, and is barefoot. But the jeans and the sweater are torn, as his sleeves are half gone, leaning only the pieces of the upper arms intact, with the sleeves now ending at the elbow. One of his legs of his jeans is torn, exposing the skin of his legs, as a female voice spoke out.

"Ahh, what's the matter, my beloved, are you afraid of me?"

Hodr looks to see that here is someone towering above him, the same female with demonic symbols all over his body, as she is wearing a white shirt and black pants, but with a symbol on the white shirt. It resembles a heart that is cracked and frozen, and the pointing part of the heart is directing down to her pelvis, as she then spoke out.

"Why...I...I thought we were friends! Friends back when we were children!!! Why are you doing this??!!!!"

But the blond female laughed, and the laughter was sickening, despite how pleasant it sound.

"Oh, Hodr, you are mistaken. You are more then just my friend, you are the item that I want. Your blood, your soul, I lust for it. I need it, I want it. I want your taste, I want your body, I want all of you, all for me to have. All that I can have."

Hodr's eyes are shaking, despite being behind shadows, yet the female can see it. Tears of fear are present, Hodr cannot believe it had she is doing.

"No, please...don't"

But the female, not wanting to hear it, grabs Hodr by the collar, and backhands him, blood comes out of his nose, as Hodr went down onto the floor. Hodr tries to get up, but he can't, as he felt the blood on his nose come down to him.

"Do not beg. I am not here for you to beg for love, for kindness. After all, Asmodeus is kind to us all, and now, he is kind to me, by having you in my life."

She licked the blood off of her finger, saliva stuck into her fingers for a little bit, as Hodr looked in even more fear then ever, his body shakes at the sight that is before his very eyes. Then, the female began to take off her clothes, stripping her pants off of her, as she then takes off her shirt, her breast now in view, as she walks towards him. Hodr felt more afraid then embarrassed, afraid of what is about to happen. He tries to back away and stand up, tries to find a way out, but then, all of a sudden, the the female waved her hand, and all of a sudden, metal chains wrapped around Hodr, onto his neck and arms, as Hodr began to scream in agony. But the woman slapped Hodr, and covered his mouth, as she spoke out.

"Don't even try and scream, nobody will save you. It is just you, and me. My family always bless Asmodeus with a child from our Lust. And know, that is what I will do. You will make me a child, for Asmodeus to give such power to."

She than grabs onto Hodr's sweater, and she then turns his sweater into smoke, before she than grabs onto his pants, and turns it into smoke as well, as she whispered in a sultry tone of voice.

"Do not worry...it will be over soon."

Hodr could not describe the feeling that he is experiencing right now. He could not think about what to say, or rather, is not able to say anything. He tries to say something...but...whenever he speaks, 'she' would punch him in the gut, make him spit blood out, or she would torment him with hallucinations so horrifying, that he would paralyze in fear. But while Hodr can't describe it in when he speaks, he can describe it in his thoughts. Her hand, dangerously caressing and stroking his body, even at the lower part, where she would grab onto something from below, painfully. Hodr always flinched whenever she did that. He can feel her cutting his back, with a sharp rock, constantly cutting his body, of symbols in arcane origin. He feels her lips over him, soft, yet fierce and merciless. Choice, Will, Freedom, such foreign and disgusting concepts inside of her mind. Subjugation, Obedience, Hopelessness, such objects that she can utilize and force onto her desires quarry. She kisses him without care for his soul, caring more for his body and blood, as she tastes the blood within him.

And then, came the worst one. Hodr, he can feel his lower part inside of...something. It was tight, wet, and cold, what he has below him sheathed, as he felt his arms pinned down, the chains now off of him, as the woman intertwined her hands into Hodr's fingers, as she smiled in such a lustful, cruel, her pleasant way. It scared him. And he felt it, a rise, then a lowering, going in and out, up and down, as Hodr cannot see anything but darkness, and the smile of who he once thought was his friend, was something else, the smile of something...inhuman. Hodr can't describe the feeling, other than the fact that it is so painful. So cruel...so...disgusting, revolting. He feels so much of it towards himself. Hodr cannot fight back. He felt caged, he felt weak, he felt...useless. He can't speak, he can't even scream. He felt like he is nothing to himself, just as she sees him as nothing, but her prey. And then...something burst...a moan escaped from the bloodied lips of the one above him, the one that pinned him down, and it ended.

Under a light, laying above a the image of a Pentagram, Hodr is shown in the ground. His knees close to his chest, and one of his arms hugs his knees even more to himself, while the other is covering his eyes. The arms and neck are scarred with the chains that froze and mark them. Surrounding him are blood from his body, and sticky white liquid, covering the ground and on the lower parts of himself. Hodr could not help but sob weakly, as this life, it is of pure torture, a true hell. He hates it, he hates himself, and he wants nothing more then to get out of it. He covers his eyes, as tears and tiny sobs of suffering and anguish spilled out. The cold air around him, biting at his body and very soul with cruel, relentless passion and pleasure, like the icy chains that had wrapped around him.

Then, a childish giggle was heard, and Hodr looked up, hand removed from his sight, as his eyes are now dull and lacking life, as 'she' appeared to him once again, her eyes covered in shadows, but her grin twisted with corrupted pleasure, white liquid near her mouth, as she licked some of it off of him, and she then spoke out.

"Do you see, my beloved, what I see? This is what it means to become gifted with Asmodeus. To be given the bliss of lust, to be pleasured with his blessing. It is the greatest gift that we are given from him."

She bends down, her face in front of him, as she caresses his face, and she whispered to him.

"You are nothing more, then my beautiful plaything, the best one that I have. You are...my property."


Hodr's eyes snapped open, as his vision blurred, and he sees the door. But this didn't matter, for Hodr's eyes widened in sadness and shock, as Hodr's eyes glowed, but his tears now leaking from his eyes quickly like miniature waterfalls, as Hodr began to make whimpers and quiet sobs, his own breathing became shaky and shuttering. Hodr then clenched his teeth and tries to hold back a sob, although he chocked on if, as he moved his hand to the locket, and he began to speak out.

"I'm not property. I'm not property. I'm not property. I'm not property. I'm not property"

But Hodr then felt his words beginning to fail, as he tried to speak out.

"I'm not property. I'm not property. I'm not...I'm not...I...I-I..."

But Hodr can't continue speaking, as he then began to cry, as he cannot seal the sobs within him, and began to quietly let it out, as he cannot hold back on it anymore, and he tries to take deep breaths to hold it back, only for it to fail. The pain, ever since that day...it is just too much. It is so painful...he can't take it. It can never take it, no matter how much he tries. He truly feels alone. And he believes that he will forever be alone, and nobody will be here to help him. He felt suffering so horrible that he cannot bear it.

But as Hodr continues to sob, the sound of clicking was heard, and the door opens, as an unlikely face emerges from the other side.


The sounds of running was heard, as Grey hair waved into the winds of the night within Hell. Red sclera glowed in the dark, as a familiar Hellhound stood underneath the lamppost.

Loona has appeared into the night, as she is going around, looking for Hodr. After the work day is over, Loona decided to try and find him, for her own reasons, after the other 3 Imps and Blitzø are asleep. Thing is, she just wanted to talk to him about her behavior from before, because she admits that what she had done...it is a really dick move on her part. And now, she just wants to discuss him on it.

As Loona kept on searching for him, she spoke out to herself.

"Fuck, how hard is it to find a sent of a single fucking human?"

Loona cursed under her breath, as she continues to run and try to find him. She felt irritated that it is so hard to find him. Even though it should be possible for him to do it.

She kept running around to try and find him, but no matter what she did...she seems to be going into a different direction. This is irritating Loona, and she almost can't take it. It is driving her nuts. But she cannot give up now. She should not give up now. She needs to look for him.

"Damn it. Seems like finding him is gonna be like trying to find a single fucking hand in shit! Where even if he?!"

Loona then stood up, and crossed her arms, feeling frustrated, but then, as she stood in her place...she sniffed something.

"Wait...is that...(sniff)(sniff)."

Loona began to pick it up, and she realized that it is Hodr's scent. She then realized where he is.

"There you go. Finally, I fucking got you."

Loona then runs as fast as she can, as she goes to try and find the building that Hodr is at. It seems that Hodr lost his concentration, and is now making his scent now noticeable for her to sense. Loona ran and ran, as fast as she can, he tail moves from side to side, as she continues to go and direct herself to the location that he is at. After what must have been 5 minutes, Loona looks and sees that he is inside of the hotel. Loona sighed, annoyed that he would go in a place such as this, but she then goes inside of the door. The receptionist looks, and spoke out.

"Hey, what do you think a Hellhound like you is doing here?! You are not allowed to be-"

But Loona then slammed her fist hard onto the Imp, knocking her out, as she then walks to find out where Hodr is at. She walked quietly and silently, as to not get the attention of the people that are sleeping inside of their rooms. After a little while, she then saw the scent. The red mist, going inside one of the rooms near the end of the corridor. Loona sighed, as she spoke out.

"There you are. After so fucking long."

Loona then goes to the door, as she spoke out to herself.

"Geez, that is so fucking annoying, why is it so hard to find...him?"

Loona was about to say...before hears something. It sounded like, crying. This made Loona confused, as she then looks down, and looks through the keyhole, only to see a sight then she had never seen before.

Hodr was inside of the bed in his hotel room, and he...he's now a crying mess. His tears are going down the right side of his face, as he holds onto his locket tightly, his knee raising up to his chest a little bit, as Loona's eyes widened, as he sees the expesssion on his face. He looks so...devastated. His eyes glowing red and icy blue, due to what he is feeling. And then, she hears Hodr speak, his tone laced with sadness and fear.

"I'm not property. I'm not property. I'm not property. I'm not property. I'm not property. I'm not...I'm not...I...I-I..."

Before Hodr then began to whimper quietly, and tears leaks onto the pillows, as Hodr tries to stop himself from crying, only for him to choke on a sob. Loona...she has never seen that before. Never once has she seen a human...cry. Yes, she has seen and heard humans cry...but, only in pain, especially with that kid that badmouthed her and the employees of I.M.P, as he cried in pain, but was never genuinely sad. But she never once saw a human that cried in pure sadness.

Loona, after a minute, decided to stop hesitating and get on with it. She than used one of her claws of her paws, as she then pricked it into the keyhole, and after a minute, unlocked the door. She then opened the door, and she enters the room, closing the door, as she spoke out.

"Hey, Hodr. I need-"

But Hodr spoke out.

"Leave me alone..."

This made Loona frustrated, as she spoke out.

"Look, you dumbass, can you just let me-"

"LEAVE ME ALONE!!!"

Hodr cried out, as a shockwave erupted from him, and pushed Loona back a little, catching her by surprise, as she did not expect this. She looks at Hodr, as he began to sob a little louder then before.

"Please...l-leave me alone. I-I can't...I j-just..."

but Hodr couldn't finish his words, as he began to cry very badly, and thus, not wanting Loona to see his face, sobbed into the pillow. Loona was shook a little bit, and she walks to Hodr and extends one of her hands and reach out to his face, her hand getting closer...but she sees the sad grimace on his face, the expression of pure distress. His eyebrows scrunched and eyelids tightly shut, as tears continued to pour out from him. Loona looks down at his expression...and it reminded her of something like this...she remembers something that hurt her so much...she was almost like that in Hodr's position. Another hellhound, one with a bat with nails, trying to hurt her. She struck him away...but the hopelessness she felt from that, from head she had been through...it was too much, back pressed, muzzle in her knees. And Loona...she never thought that even a human can cry so tears of suffering and grief. She always believed that humans can never feel bad, and always see the fucked up side of humans. And with Hodr, she assumed he was no different. She believed that humans are just chaotic and uncaring, having no genuine good feelings, and always being shitty, with, again, that kid from before being the example. And yet...here Hodr is...being a sobbing mess, so pitiful and pathetic, yet, so sad. How Loona was so blind to the feelings of someone such as Hodr, who had suffered a life she knows not of?

Loona's eyes looked down a little bit, as she clenched her fist, and then...she loosened her hand. She looks on Hodr's neck, and sees his scar around it. This made Loona perplexed, but she decides not to pay attention to that right now. She wants to deal with this situation, but how? It's not like she is able to know how to comfort others. She looks down and thinks about it for a little bit, before deciding what to do.

Loona then turns around and looks to see that there is a chair at a desk. Walking over to it, Loona picked it up and put it beside the side of the bed that Hodr is in. Loona sighed, as she then looks at one of Hodr's hands, and took it, as she gently holds him. This made Hodr's attention caught, as he looks up, and sees Loona with an expression that has never been seen using before. She frowned and looked sad at him, as Loona shook her head. It almost as if she is saying that she will never leave him be. Hodr looks down, renewed tears appeared, as he goes back into the pillow, and he whimpers quietly. Loona looks down at Hodr's shaking form, as she waits for Hodr to cry himself to sleep, while she hears the cries of Hodr entering her mind.


Hodr felt...warm...as he looks around in order to see where he is at. His vision was fuzzy, as he then began to raise up from the bed of this room that he is in, before he then hears a voice spoke out.

"Oh, so now you're awake."

This made Hodr turn around and he looks to see that it is none other then Loona herself. She is sitting on the chair, as she looks at Hodr in the eyes. But her eyes aren't stern. In fact, they didn't seem as uncaring. But she seemed, unhappy about something, but Hodr knows that it is not directly at him. Hodr was surprised, as he cannot believe that this is happening, as he sat up, and spoke out.

"Loona? You...you stayed inside this room with me? I thought that...that..."

Loona shook her head, as she then spoke out.

"No. I didn't leave. Especially of how much of a fucking mess you were."

Hodr looks down, he clenched his fist onto the covers, as he spoke out.

"Wh...Why did you...there was no reason for you to do that, to be inside of my room. Why...why do something like that. I...I don't get it."

Loona looks at Hodr, as she then sighed.

"Well...mainly because I felt like shit what I did you you back then."

This made Hodr confused, as Loona spoke out.

"I thought about back before...and...I realized that what I was doing is fucked up. I acted like a bitch to you, and it is all because of..."

Loona was silent, as she turned her head to the side, as Hodr looked confused, and Loona resumed speaking.

"I never had a very high opinion on you humans, and after being with that kid from before, when we kept him and you alive, I kind of thought that you would be the same way. Well...that was...a fucking back assumption on my part. You must really hate me for what I did to you."

Hodr then looked down, and spoke out.

"I...don't hate you."

This made Loona confused, as she turns to Hodr, and Hodr then spoke out.

"I...I never had the willingness to hate people. In fact...I can never hate people, even if I wanted to. I can't even hold something as simple as a grudge. I can get angry, sure, but hating others...I just can't do it. Not even I can hate you."

This made Loona stunned, as she spoke out.

"What? But...don't you know what it's like to, I don't know, hate a person so fucking much?"

Hodr shook his head, as he spoke out.

"I did feel hatred, once. And I admit...I did feel what you described. But when I felt it...I only felt more worse then ever before. I can never hate, even if I wanted to. I even tried to hate...and yet...I just can't."

Loona looked at Hodr, staring at him with wide eyes, before she then spoke out.

"Heh...you're too fucking kind...you know that?"

Hodr nodded, as he spoke out.

"Yeah...I know."

Hodr then looks down at himself, trying to look at his neck, as he put his hand around it, trying to cover it. Loona then looks at it, as she spoke out.

"What's with that shit on your neck?"

This made Hodr's eyes widen...before he shook a little, as he spoke out.

"I...I don't want to talk it. It...it just to...painful to talk about what lead me to have this."

The way that Hodr spoke out...he sounded...shaken, almost similar to last night. Hodr then sighed, as he spoke out.

"And now...I need to find something that can cover this up."

Loona looks down for a little bit, before she then spoke out.

"You know...I might have something that can cover this."

Hodr looks at her, as he stands up and puts on his hood, as he spoke out.

"And what is that."

Loona then spoke out.

"Come with me. I'll show you."

Hodr was a bit uncertain. But he does in fact follow her, as he walks past the receptionist desk, the receptionist is still knocked out, as he and Loona exited the hotel, and they venture inside of Imp city...until he and Loona are next to a store, which involves clothes. Loona spoke out.

"Be right back."

Loona then goes inside of the store, and Hodr looks, as he waits for a solid minute. He then looks at his locket, and his reflection, it shows his eyes are back to normal, as after about 3 minutes, Loona came back, and spoke out.

"Okay. I'm back. Now hold still."

Hodr looks, and before he knows it, something clamped around his neck, and Hodr stood still, unsure of what it is. It felt cold, but not like the chains. It felt...different. It felt comfortable, as Loona stepped back. It was a black choker with multiple silver rings around it, and a symbol of a crescent moon on it, as Hodr touched it.

"Well, what do you think?"

Hodr touched it, and Hodr...he felt something...warm, inside of him. It is similar to when he found Mrs. Mayberry...but different. He looks down, and...he spoke out.

"Loona...I...thank you. It...in really means a lot to me."

Hodr smiled, he felt happy again, for the first time in what must have been so long. Loona looks at it, and her cheeks went red herself. Hodr, even though his face is hidden, made such a cute smile. This made Loona turn her head around to the side, as she spoke out.

"Th-Think nothing of it, dumbass, okay?! Just deal with it!"

Hodr chuckled a little bit, as he spoke out.

"If you say so."

Loona shook her head, and she looks at him with a smile, before she spoke out.

"So, shall we go back?"

Hodr looks at Loona, and nodded.

"Yes."

Loona then turns around and walks back, as Hodr follows her. Hodr still had the small smile present, as Loki spoke out.

"Haaaaaa...of course, you would forgive her. That is so you, Hodr. You always forgive even the worst people that had done bad to yourself. Well, I can't blame you. But...heh...I guess that is what I like about ya."

Hodr said nothing, as he walked beside Loona, and they are heading back to I.M.P, as Hodr then thought to himself on all of this.

'Perhaps there is a brighter future for me after all.'
