Shattered Planes Archives (Seasons 4 & 5)

"Oh will you just start making actual sense and let me leave already?!" Hikaru picked up the shovel, took one glance at it and then threw it at him, her anger apparent. She was to the point that if she had had her magic, she would have killed him long ago and he was not making it any better.

Hikaru grimaced as she stood up and dropped the shovel yet again. She looked unamused as she glared at him. "I have a better idea, you damn trickster. How about you return the soul that demon has in his possession back to my counterpart and I, we leave your little of world games and never look back. How about that?" Hikaru crossed her arms. "Neither of us have any intention of ever becoming part of your insane collective that would better be called a cult, and that is that."

"GRRRR" Hikaru spun around and threw the shovel at where he had been standing, "I WILL KILL YOU! I WILL KILL YOU! I WILL KILL YOU!!"

Though they had heard what he had said in answer, both Kotah and Ezael gave no response to Arlgon. Their attention was now held by the puddle and only the puddle as the singing arose from its depths. They continued to stand there and merely stare, their eyes transfixed on its surface and the woman that arose up from it. What was going on? Though it felt familiar to them, neither Kotah nor Ezael had ever experienced anything like this, at least, not since...  Not since they had succeeded their father Koty as the embodiment of Destruction.

But Destruction? That's what the woman had said. How did she know? And what work was it that she spoke of? They had been given no knowledge of what it was they were supposed to do as the new Embodiment of Destruction, only their fathers memories as a guide. And that guide was a lot to take in. Realms? Army? Was it not these same things that led to their father being sealed in the first place?

"W-what is the work?" Kotah at least stammered.

"..And why does it require an army?" Ezael asked as well as the both of them cringed ever so slightly at the scene this was causing. If every sage in the area didn't know who Kotah and Ezael were before, they did now. What with the singing, the magic, and the words said. That was bound to attract all who sensed it.

The twins shook their heads, the two of them still somewhat lost for words.

"Well you should! It makes life a lot damn easier!" Hikaru exclaimed before lifting herself out of the hole. Now she had had it. With a swift motion using the shovel that had been forced back into her hand she swept all of the dirt that was in the pile outside of the hole back into it on top of the gravedigger and then threw the shovel at his head.

Eyes narrowed, she continued to glare, "I am not playing around."

"Uh.. no?" Hikaru looked skeptic as she stood back, arms still crossed, a scowl still upon her face. "I do not do labor. That is for people lower than myself. Mortal technology users and the like. Do it your damn self and hurry it up with whatever it is I am here for or I am leaving. " At that, she walked forward and  kicked the shovel into the hole before returning to where she was standing.

The two boys stood there somewhat speechless as they read through the document. When at last they finished, neither knew what to say as they handed it back to the man and remained silent.

"I decided to follow. I never said I would converse." Hikaru kept her arms crossed as she followed behind him.  "Keep your questions to yourself as I do not think they are any of your business."

"And just why should I follow you?" Hikaru's voice was like daggers as it sharply cut through the silence when she snapped back at the man. She had really had it up to here with this entire situation and whether or not this man was there to help her or hinder her, it would not matter. He was going to receive the full extent of her anger as she saw fit. And just what did he mean another?

Taking up a rock in her hand, Hikaru swiftly threw it at the man just as he had walked away, and shouted, "Look here you dog. Either you give me answers about what you mean, and everything you know. Or I will refuse to follow you anywhere and will instead go the opposite direction and find my own way out of here. I am not going to play that embodiments games and let him make the rules.  So here are your options. Answers or goodbye.

She crossed her arms, a scowl upon her face, "I am waiting..."

"Oh? Is that all?" Hikaru rolled her eyes and muttered, "you are a fool," as she scoffed. Now that the threat was gone, she climbed back to her feet all the while glaring at him. "Had you cared to be observant instead of forming your opinions on just what you know. You would have noticed that my counterpart is already in a state of regret and 'change'." Hikaru crossed her arm as she explained.

"Where she has found love, and had even children. I have not. Where she has made amends and apologized to our damned family. I have refused and instead destroyed them. Where she has shown remorse for our past actions.. I have ignored. That is why my spell to re-merge failed, and  our spirit remains split. Conflict of personalities. We became simply too different from one another even while being the same. Astral Energy will not merge if it is no longer compatible. But I guess I can not expect even an embodiment to know all that, can I?" Hikaru smirked before changing it to a grimace.

"Now. You got what you want. My counterpart will just not admit it. But you still got it. So return our soul!"

Is this seen?
