Leon was not happy about this situation. Not happy at all. Cleare as she called herself kept vast swaths of dedicated files on the so called 'Tablet Of Prophecy' having apparently gotten centuries worth of precious sanity preserving entertainment out of it's contents. Said contents was a so-called visual novel, a story told through a video game where the choices that you the player makes decides the direction of the story. There were six of these stories in the tablet. The first of these games featured the Protagonist, Default name Olivia, a commoner living in the Kingdom of Holfort who at the game's start is enrolled into the prestigious Holfort Royal academy as a scholar ship student where she gets into a relationship with multiple men, fellow students at the school: Brad Fou Field the Master Magician, Greg Fia Seburg the Veteran Adventurer, Chris Fia Arclight the Son of the Sword Saint, Jilk Fia Marmoria and his adoptive brother Julius Rapha Holfort the Crown Prince.
"Are you Joking!?" Leon snapped as he glared at Cleare like he would smash her to pieces if she didn't fork over the information that he was after.
"I wish I was, believe me. Do you have any idea how I felt when I saw a bunch of video game characters enter my laboratory and start smashing everything!?" The orb looked like it was mirroring Leon's look of sheer disbelief, which was impressive because orb. "If I was going to be invaded by Video game characters why couldn't it have been the cast of Fortune Lover!? Why did it have to be that awful game I tortured myself with for so looonnnggg!" Leon smacked the orb into the floor. "Thanks for that, I needed it." As Cleare floated upwards a thought suddenly occurred to the orb. "Wait this is my chance! I can rewrite the story! Yes now I can mod the game for real this time!"
"How long were you stuck on that?" Leon asked looking shocked.
Off to the side there were several people having mixed reactions. Olivia and Angelica had come to report their progress with Yumeria, and thus entered this meeting room where Leon was having a meeting. They had been briefed on the contents of what Cleare had to say, that their lives were turned into a story hundreds of years ago, and it sounded like a nightmare.
"Those Five idiots...?" Olivia had slumped to the floor horror struck. She couldn't imagine a life stuck under those five fools idiocy, the debts she would have to pay, not to mention the stress of always having to coddle the five of them and listen to their stupid shit.
Angelica had a different reaction though, an iron claw grip directly on Marie's head and was now holding her hostage.
"I always wondered how you seemed to know so much about those Five Fools and their personal tastes." Marie wanted to scream as Angelica tightened her grip. "I was intent to let the Marmoria's sort out the sordid details. I thought you picked it up from spies. They seem to think that you're just a really effective seductress for some reason. But no that's not it is it?" Marie was the one person in their group that Cleare didn't recognise from the game, a person who had taken the role of the 'protagonist' and seduced the Five Heirs of the Founding Families. It was almost as if Marie was someone who had somehow or another played that game that Cleare hated so much and based her actions around that. There were things that didn't completely make sense either, like how Marie managed to play the game in question. That said Angie had stopped caring about that. "Did it amuse you? Playing with our lives like you did in the 'game' that you love so much?"
"HHHIIIYYYAAAHHH!" Marie was desperately trying to remove Angelica's grip on her head. The thing that confirmed Angelica's new suspicions though was that Cleare didn't recognise Marie, in other words an outsider in this situation who was looking in.
"I wonder, if I pop you like the zit on the face of creation you are, will all of this 'restart' for you or will you simply be a thorn that I remove from my side?" Angelica smiled as she continued to tighten her grip on Marie, actively trying to crush her skull with her bare hands. "Should I find out?"
"Drop her Angie. Killing one of our intelligence capsules won't do us any good." Leon stated in an uncompromising tone of voice. "Drop. Her." Angelica indeed did put Marie back down.
"Yes I just have to start with a standardised human+-" Cleare was abruptly cut off as Luxion's red eye overtook her blue one.
"What do you know about all of this?" Leon asked with a glare.
"Significantly less than she does. My Captain was able to find me and rescue me from the dockyard that had become the tomb of my previous crew. I have been working hard to stack the deck, to borrow the King's phrase but it is not enough. For all of our preparations it's only on the level of being able to defeat the Principalities army of mass produced demons and soldiers, we'll be helpless before the might of a true demon lord summoned by the Principality." Luxion had time to skim Cleare's files, he hadn't had time to go through all of her information, and what was real and what was born of her endless boredom, but he managed to get the original files, and from them the face of the enemy. "Does this look familiar to you?" Luxion produced a clip from the game through his holo projector. A Giant glob made out of black goo, wearing several buildings as a suit of armour or a second skin.
"What the hell is this thing?" Leon summarised his thoughts on the matter, prompting a look of horror from Angelica, Olivia and the others.
Nefasturris: The Tower of Sin.
A fusion of several Nightmare demons that have gorged themselves on other demons and fused itself with surrounding stone and buildings.
This monument of ruin is a mutant that can only be created through a special ritual to trap between dozens to hundreds of weaker demons in a struggle to the death, and will only exist in this form until the struggle is over and a winner is decided, who shall become the final form of this demon.
While the Various demons are still in the process of their struggle they will blindly lash out at their surroundings destroying everything in sight and swallowing anyone caught in their path adding them to the struggle as well.
The longer the Nefasturris is allowed to rampage the more casualties that will be suffered, the more casualties suffered the longer the rampage will last.
Thus such a creature is given the name Nefasturris, Tower of Sin, a great monument to the ruinous power of ambition that will stand so long as there are those to 'admire' it.
Excerpt From Lemegeton's Guidebook of Demons
Among the various monsters encountered in the game, the Principalities God of the Earth stands out as the toughest, even tougher than the Black Knight. The God of the Earth is a true demon lord in the making, a new born demon god born from the collective monsters of the dungeon, the principalities monster army, and hundreds of humans caught in it's rampage. It exists for no other purpose than to destroy the Kingdom of Holfort down to the last citizen, and the only way to beat it in the main game is to use Olivia's emotion manipulating magic amplified by the power of the Lost Ship Weiss to blast it with concentrated angelic power and break it's body down while it's still unstable. Gods know what kind of creature will be born if this thing is allowed to rampage as much as it likes.
Excerpt from Diary 1
"Would you mind not revealing other people's plans?" Hertrude looked quite displeased as she glared at the orb that was showing off 'the God of the Earth.' Right now she was being held prisoner by one of Umbra's arms.
"This is the god of the Earth. It's a monster that the Principality unleashes on Holfort in order to destroy it in the finale of the story, something that was supposed to happen over two more years into the future. But this fool's tampering accelerated the time table." Luxion indicated Marie, leading to another Iron grip from Angelica.
"And the other one?" Leon asked indicating Hertrude.
"I expect that my mortal body would die after my soul is sucked away to fuel the ritual." Hertrude stated bluntly.
"I can confirm this." Cleare gave the follow up naturally. "Both sisters end up being sacrificed to become weapons to use against Holfort, here with the god of the Earth, and her sister would later on become the God of the Sky."
"We don't need to see that one." If the God of the Earth was a demon, then the God of The Sky was likely an angel.
"I feel sorry for these two, manipulated their whole lives by the same people who murdered their parents and ultimately dying without being able to strike down the enemy." Cleare gave some extra commentary on the matter.
"Do not think that I will fall for your lies so easily, machine." Hertrude wasn't buying it though. Ignoring the possibility of her God of the Earth being destroyed she knew for a fact who was responsible for murdering her parents.
"I wish I was kidding believe me. This was found in Vandel's armour after he was killed." Cleare produced another holographic message.
I Vandel Von Zim, Black Knight of the Principality of Fanoss, of sound mind and body, admit to an act of treason of the highest order.
In the year 512 of the Holfortian calendar I betrayed my oaths, my principles, and my Honour and slayed my liege and his wife Harold and Lilian Sera Fanoss, Leaving their twin Daughters Hertrude and Hertraude Sera Fanoss orphans and subject to the cruel ministrations of the men of the Warhawk Faction of my Country.
I did this knowing that Harold seeks peace and reconciliation with Holfort, after his parents launched a unprovoked attack on Holfort in a effort to launch a hostile coup, the same coup that killed my Wife and child in the process of being put down.
If you are reading this, it means that I am dead, either at the hands of my enemies in battle or equally as likely as a result of betrayal by men I reluctantly consider my allies.
I write this so that I may bear the hatred of whichever of the Sisters survive the battle against Holfort, and let mine grudge be the last.
Hertrude didn't understand the contents of the letter, Vandel had her use the flute to remove any notion of mercy from his heart, so that his rage was made eternal.
"How did your parents die?" Leon provided the follow up naturally. "Where were they killed and who was with them at the time?"
"They were on their way to a diplomatic meeting with Holfort at the time, Vandel was acting as their guard in his armour." Hertrude looked down shaken as she spoke.
No pilot in Holfort can out fight Vandel, if Holfort had resorted to a tactic like out-ranging their escort and offing them with superior fire power they would have made sure they got Vandel as well. The same held true for the Marmoria's planting a bomb on their transport.
"I could see the Kingdom choosing to blow up the Prince and his wife but not sparing Vandel as well." Angelica was a brutal pragmatist, from her point of view killing the prince and his wife didn't make sense not because it was morally wrong, but because it was done sloppily.
"For now we should try to make contact with-"
"They're already on their way." Hertrude stated in no uncertain terms. "The Warlock who controls demons, the Battle mage who sunk a fleet and the true saintess were all threats to the invasion force. My job was to keep the three of you occupied long enough for the attack to gain momentum, no one told me about Hertraude being the one to summon the God of the Earth instead of me though." Hertrude looked down cast and miserable at the revelation that her sister was about to be sacrificed.
"Cute cute. Umbra they have to go through our territory to get to the capital right?" Leon asked making his suspicion known.
"Currently the territory is absent. Rodin and your siblings have used a spell to wisk the territory to the safety of Purgatorio, Fanoss passes by without noticing anything, and then Blackmore and Holfort teams up for a pincer attack." Sound. Reasonable. One tiny flaw though.
"And what's the real plan?" Leon asked making his suspicions known.
"...Fanoss and Holfort battle in the capital, grind each other down, and then we collect the Devil Arm born from the God of the Earth." Umbra's tone of voice made it obvious that they had only done this with reluctance.
"Sacrificing the capital in the process?" Angelica asked making her displeasure known.
"Incorrect. We merely need to stall and immobilise it long enough to kill off most of the constituent demons that make up its body, and once it has had the chance to form properly it can then be killed and it's Devil Arm harvested."
"Cute cute. And what about your guys?" Leon asked looking at Luxion.
"...the 'King' intends to fight the Black Knight 1v1 while relying on my technology to defeat the God of the Earth and defend the capital." It was precisely the kind of plan that Roland would come up with. "In the lead up, you will be arrested for treason after having been framed by Marquiss Frampton and locked in the dungeon for several days." Angelica's fist tightened. "To be clear, this was supposed to be done with your cooperation. With you out of the way Frampton would 'heroically' lead the charge against Fanoss believing that their existing deals will mean that they will back down after a token fight between them. Instead we expect that he will be crushed easily, removing his house hold and the influence over his faction with it." If they try to arrest Frampton he and his faction will rebel, but if his ship sinks then the rats will flee for safety.
"And what's the real plan?" Leon saw this coming a mile off.
"Until very recently. We were going to rely on those-" Luxion looked to Marie, more specifically to the three saint items she was holding. "-to unlock the Royal Airship and it's power to kill the monster. But we can no longer rely on them."
"Because you think they're Devil arms?" Leon asked sounding suspicious, though Angelica looked at him like he had three heads.
"Because the demon inside of them has been actively planning the downfall of the Kingdom." Luxion stated bluntly. "We have reason to believe that the behaviour of the Olivia in the game is a direct result of being controlled by those so called 'Three Key Items.'"
"Are you claiming that Marie's actions are the result of being under the control of the items?" Angelica looked like she didn't believe those claims.
"I just did what Olivia did in the game!" Marie suddenly squeaked up for her dear life, and Angelica's grip tightened.
"Angie theorised that if Marie wasn't there Julius and his friends would've locked onto me instead. I was supposed to meet Julius on the first day of school right? And I would've met the others along the way too." Jilk would've met Olivia because she was hanging out with Julius, she would've met Brad in the Library and Greg and Chris when she healed them. Given how much Olivia was letting her innate brainwashing power run wild back then she would've drawn their inevitable obsession. "Marie saved me from getting those five's attention, the massive debts I would've incurred as a consequence and the bullying I would've gotten from the other girls. So let her go Angie." Angelica pushed Marie away, who gladly hid away before Angelica used her as a tension ball again.
"Umbra, Orbs and Halos." At once one of the walls opened up and revealed a massive pile of Red orbs and Halos. "Stick them in." Marie took off each of her saint items and put them into the pile. "Come out and I'll reunite you with Lea."
At once the pile started to vanish, becoming food for two of the three key items, the Necklace and the Bracelet. The three Items let out a blood red, bright blue and golden aura's as they rose up into the air and formed a new figure, one that looked suspiciously like Angelica dressed in Marie's saintess robes. She only looked the part mind you, there was no mistaking the blood red crescent shaped horn, the halo of angelic symbology floating behind her, or the one blue eye.
"Alright. I'm listening." Everyone felt their skin crawl. Leon just gave birth to a very dangerous monster, that was immediately apparent.
"Do you still want to destroy the Kingdom?" Leon was already going over which of his Devil Arms would be most effective in this situation.
"Stick your nose on the ground." Leon suddenly felt like there was an overwhelming force pinning him to the ground, to the point he had to take a knee, though it wasn't as far as 'sticking his nose on the ground.' "Well it seems you're quite resilient." The monster in the items kneeled down to meet Leon face to face. Then Leon grabbed the Monster by her neck.
"You will speak only when answering, you will reply using only one word, and you will answer my questions!" Leon stood up as he picked up the Monster as well.
"Oh you want to be fun about this do you?"
"Umm. You're Ann right?" Ann turned her head with a sick creaking sound as she looked at Olivia, malice strewn across her features. "Lea talked about you when we visited him in Yamatai." As in, the monster standing before them right now was the Saintess Ann. The gathered individuals sat down at the table as they conversed with one another.
"I absolutely want to destroy the Kingdom." Ann made her opinions known. "Those bastards murdered the man I love and told me that they did it on my behalf." Olivia was already wearing Doctor Faust, Angelica had her Salamandra ready to go on the offensive. "Founding a Kingdom to last forever? Building a dynasty? Is that really something that you stupid people think is a good way to spend the rest of your life?"
"Tell us about the Airship." Leon stated bluntly.
"Oh my story goes much farther back than that." Ann snorted. "I certainly didn't want to be born with the power to brainwash people, in all honesty it was more trouble than it was worth."
"Rochelle wanted to kill you." It was Angelica's biggest concern about how people would react to Olivia. "That's the real reason you left. The others?"
"Lea and I were already together, Julian, Jack, Carson, George and Branden were just some fellow exiles that started following us around. We flew as far as we could to run away, went into a storm to get there, the wind carried us all the way to an uncharted continent. I just wanted to start a farmstead. But those idiots!" Ann sucked in deep and exhaled. "They convinced us that we would never stand a chance if Rochelle came for us. We had lots of resources but no ability to use them, but then we found that cursed ship!"
"The Weiss." Angelica knew this part already.
"It was originally a cruise ship for a couple." Luxion piped in. "It had a unique locking mechanism that measures the affections between a couple, and a built in mana projector that magnifies the effective range of any magic spell that it's pilots use." Point of interest, that locking mechanism destroyed the relationship between the ship's original owners, at least according to Luxion's records. "In the age of old it was just a toy. But in the hands of the likes of Ann..."
"Those stupid people!" Ann's appearance had become even more demonic than what it was before. "If I had known that they were going to murder Lea as soon as we stepped foot back on the continent I would've ordered the adoring masses to rip them apart!" Ann was shaking with rage.
"Then you went on the war path, used your brainwashing power to start a rebellion, and after Lea reincarnated he had to hunt you down and kill you." Angelica knew about this part already. "She's not going to be much use like this Leon."
"Why didn't you take over her body like what you would've done to Olivia." Leon stated indicating Marie.
"Why are you trying to feed me to her!?" Marie shrieked offended.
"Why would I?" Ann gave a simple reply. "Who would want to be stuck with the flat tits of a child for the rest of their life?"
"Hey!" Marie took offence to that.
"Especially when they're doing such a good job of following your 'walk-through.'" Essentially? Ann didn't even have to do anything to get Marie to sabotage the Kingdom to it's messy doom, she did everything entirely of her own volition just because she was told that it would give her a happy ending. "I need to thank whoever wrote that awful game you love so much Baka!" And Ann even borrowed an insult from Marie's original life just to rub salt in the wound.
"So you have no hold on Marie's body and you can't take over more than one at a time." Leon summarised bluntly, and then Ann died. A single round was fire from one of Umbra's internal guns and put a hole into Ann's head and the saintess was replaced by her three Key items. "So can we all agree that the 'ending' is trash and we have a giant mess we have to clean up?" Leon saw opportunity, and a disaster brewing, while it's true that both sides have their own objectives that doesn't mean that Leon can't fulfill his own goals and have everyone owe him at the same time.
One of Umbra's mechanical arms moved and grabbed the Key items to put into storage. Angelica, Olivia, Marie and Hertrude looked to each other and nodded their heads.
"Good. To my knowledge our objectives are to rescue Hertrude's sister, end the war with the Principality in a way that doesn't slaughter both armies and stop the God of the Earth from destroying the continent." The girls nodded their heads to Leon's summary. "Good. It's the wrong way to do it but both my family and Holfort basically have the same plan right? Holfort deals with the army and protects the capital and my family deals with the demon." Angelica looked to the air and nodded her head in agreement. "What's missing here for us to complete our objectives?"
"There's still a demon in our hold that we need to deal with before she decides to rear her ugly head and snap the ship in half." Umbra reminded the group as well.
"My treatment did actually work, I think." Olivia's learned about viruses and how to treat them using her magic through the Blackmore family's library, it helped that it was lined with demonic energy so she could sort and identify the problem areas relatively easily.
"Alright lets have a look at the damage later then." Giving Yumeria time to cook would be good for her, Edenia thought that treatment would be permanent at first too. "Umbra let us know if she suddenly goes into remission." Which now leads back to the original subject. "What are we doing with Fanoss's army?"
"If they do have the other flute then the Warhawk's ability to manipulate and control them is unrivaled." Was Angelica's blunt summation. "Imagine a people with all of their fear, hesitation and doubts ripped out of them by the root?" In its own way Fanoss's army was the perfect fighting force, but Angelica doubted they had a say in the matter.
"So we're working under the presumption that Fanoss's army is fighting against its will and we have to take them alive." Leon let out a sigh at that. "Fantastic how?"
"Um..." Olivia reluctantly raised a hand. "Can we use the Weiss?"
"Livia. That thing is a crime against humanity, just using it will put a target on your back and-" Angelica started to explain but was cut off.
"We don't have a choice." Luxion summarised coldly. "It was how the game was won according to the Captain." The machine eye went from red to blue.
"I can confirm this. Olivia and her love interest gets onto the love-o-meter platform, and if both sides score 90% or better then the ship will unlock for you." Angelica looked to Marie, and shook her head dismissively. There was no way they could rely on this fake saintess and her pet fools.
"No problem." Olivia grabbed Leon and Angelica by their hands. "I have that covered."
"...Livia I hope you don't take this the wrong way but it's probably best that I fight the God of the Earth." Leon wasn't bringing his own feelings into question, but getting into Holfort at this point means getting through the God of the Earth, and for that they need fire power.
"I need to return to my people too." Hertrude spoke up at this point. "I cannot allow my sister to take my place as a sacrifice to summon the God of the Earth!" The group wasn't just having a conversation with an enemy leader for no reason, even one that they were working to turn to their side.
"I will keep an eye on the prisoner." Luxion floated over and attached a collar around Hertrude's neck with a loud snap. "We will maintain communication with these." One of the drone's compartments slid out revealing several ear pieces. "Put them in your ears."
"Then for now we just have to finish cleaning up around here."
Leon and company had effectively bought the Elves island, along with all of their work contracts, the ones they didn't arrest anyway. Provided that it's still in one piece when all of this is over then Umbra will drag the island and it's inhabitants back to the compound to Join with the rest of Leon's territory.
Yumeria was looking better, which is to say that she didn't have spikes of demonic bone jutting out of her body. Mouth was healed too so no more face splitting fissures made out of too large teeth and covered with drool. Leon imagined that must've hurt. Leon remembered the story about the last 'adult' Echidna that someone in his parents circle of friends/associates/enemies/debtees/victims/clients/employers ran into. Umbra had pictures for reference. Long snake/octopus-like lower body made out of vines, turning into a combination blooming flower/quad hinged jaw set once you hit the hips, the similarities ended there though. What you'd be forgiven for thinking were clothes but in reality were flower petals growing directly out of what used to be a human-like woman covered most of the torso in what was up close fancy looking evening wear, complete with a mink scarf of stamen wrapped around her neck. There was no hair on her head though, instead there were two long petals growing directly from her head in an approximation of a serpent's forked tongue.
In comparison Yumeria was relatively intact, the clothes she hadn't apparently taken off since her 'treatment' began were thread bare but protected her modesty. Faded scars were going up her arms made it look like she had been suicidal once, with a Glasglow Grin providing a suggestive reason why, in reality the injuries had simply been beyond even Olivia's healing abilities. There was a bald spot on the side of her head, either the stress had gotten to it, the disease had started to take her hair or her demonic transformation had progressed farther than Leon thought it had. The latter seemed unlikely, enough of Yumeria's clothes were torn that Leon could tell the Petal substitute had not started to grow in yet, it was unlikely that a transformation that hadn't otherwise progressed beyond the waist was affecting the head.
That wasn't true for the future.
Olivia had done fantastic work neutralising the Tarkat but she had to walk on tiptoes to not affect the rest of Yumeria's already transformed flesh that would lead to massive internal bleeding, worst yet it was entirely possible that the Tarkat she missed had been transformed by the demon, resulting in a new virus that could turn humans into demons, and it was being carried by things that turn demons into Echidna. Leon needed to axe this as soon as possible.
"Hello there master." Her tone had a slight inflection to it as she purred, demonic taint at work. "I am at your service." A ship full of demonic energy, a man who wields Devil arms, and who fights with giant fists made out of human hair, she was a clever demon who knew what fate had in store for her, there was lots of benefits to being contracted to a handsome Umbran Warlock.
"I need to speak with the other one." Leon stated bluntly as he used a finger to indicate for a familiar boy to come over. "Her son wants to talk to her." Naive fool would be wrapped around her finger by midnight.
"Of course master." The demoness closed her eyes and put on her best look of confusion as she looked down at her host's son.
"Mommy its me Roger!" The boy was more naive than the Demoness could imagine. Maybe she'll even adopt what's her face's name, she didn't have a moniker herself to go by yet anyway.
"Roger! It's so good to see you again!"
"Have your family reunion later." Her new "master" barked. The demoness quickly wiped the false look of confusion on her features away. "You will be contracted to me and obey my commands, the price I pay is your freedom, or you will remain trapped inside of this ship until such time that I can separate you from the woman you've taken as your host."
So he valued the woman more than herself? Well humans do appreciate a decent figure. No matter.
"I accept your terms." The demoness smiled maliciously. The structure of the floor changed, making way for a large circle to form made from two crescent circles. Demonic blood flowed from the walls and filled in the Circle as the man walked forward. "I, Leon Blackmore of the Umbran Clan swear on my soul, I shall take this demoness as my contracted servant and Grant her the name Viper. I will use her to slay a thousand angels in Sheba's name and promote her power to the best of my abilities."
What a lovely name for a farmer to give a snake.
"I, Viper, accept my new name and swear upon it to follow my master's orders to the best of my ability."
'Viper' gave a sinister smirk at that, what she did with her new found freedom was her own business, she was already close to swallowing this 'elf's' soul, and then she would wait for the opportunity to- The blood suddenly turned into chains as they reached up and wrapped around her body.
"What is-? Are you-? No no no no no!" Viper was ripped from the grasp of Umbra's restraints and slammed into the ground. Red light wrote itself on Leon's back, a serpent wrapped around a flower, and then the contract was sealed.
"Sit up you bitch!" Leon snapped, his patience drained from him utterly.
"Yes!" Viper fought not to obey the command from the bottom of her soul but it was no use, she wanted to do what he said! She needed to do what he said with every fibre of her being!
"What's going on?" Kyle went along with Leon's farce, including not giving his real name to the creature wearing his mother's skin. A warranted precaution after all.
"I'm the son of the head of the Chieftess of the Umbran Clan, her blood is in my veins, which means that if a demon makes a contract with me they have to obey the spirit of it in addition to the letter. Which in this case is 'do as I tell you.'" Leon explained as he looked down at the demoness. "First. You will blast your body with angelic energy until every last bit of Tarkat and whatever derivatives you have devised from it are eradicated."
"Master, It will take some time and effort to complete-"
"Secondly." Leon did not take kindly to a bitch that was less than a tapeworm interrupting him. "You will cease your attempts to complete your transformation of that Elf's body." Viper shook with fear as she realised what was happening to her. "Third. You will not take control of that woman's body again without her permission or my say so. Fourth and final, you shall harm no human, Elf or Beast-kin without my express permission. Have I made myself clear?"
"Yes." What was free about this? "If I may master? My freedom-"
"You will be free of your host soon enough." The thing about being vague with his terms before that they were subject to wide interpretation. It would be a bad thing if Leon didn't hold absolute power in the arrangement. "After that, when you are not following my orders you are free to do whatever you want."
Leon turned to Kyle, indicating for the half elf to take the lead.
"Mom! Mom it's me!" The half demon creature sprawled out on the floor looked to Kyle with confusion before she seemed to clue in.
"Kyle? Is that really you?" And both mother and son proved to be huge Cry Babies.
