What's taking him so long?!
Get out of my head, Magoth.
PHAH, I can hear you too!
Yes, you idiot. I've linked our minds, temporarily. We can all hear each other's thoughts. At least those which we want to be heard.
Didn't he forbid you from manipulating minds without permission?
That's the sole reason for this FUCKING gathering, you backward worm! *thinks about spitting*
Magoth is rght, gentlemen. We are no longer bound to de Prado's will, which is rather peculiar indeed.
The declariations of war from Marignon should havee been announced by now. Ethanim, you were the last of us who saw de Prado.
That was almost a month ago.
Lead this army, Ethanim. But do not attack before the declaration is publicly announced.
You are sending away even your demonic bodyguards. That is not wise.
Nothing can harm me here. More demons will join our cause - I will choose new bodyguards among them.
I insist. If I take away your bodyguards now, you will become vulnerable.
For one month only. We are not even at war with anybody. Yet.
There are powers beyond this realm. Beyond your imagination. They are watching you, waiting for any sign of weakness.
Don't waste my time, general. You have an army to lead, and I have other business to attend to.
... Your will is my command.
*Utevania castle, later that night*
Who goes there? SHOW YOURSELF! ... That gurgling sound - a spy from Atlantis, no doubt. Step out of darkness and beg for mercy. Well? How long do you plan to play this childish game? ... You are not from Atlantis, are you..? And it sounds like you are not alone either. DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?! MY NAME IS SEBASTIAN DE PRADO, AND I AM THE CHOSEN OF GOD! I WAS GIVEN THE RIGHT TO RULE THIS WORLD AND EVERY SINGLE BEING THAT INHABITS IT! I COMMAND YOU NOW, IN THE NAME OF GOD - SHOW YOURSELF! ... You are about to attack the most powerful blood mage in the Kingdom - no, in the entire realm. You are about to attack - for what purpose? You are not from Atlantis, Mictlan or Bogarus. You are not from this world even. STAY BACK! ... I have no successor. My death will bring nothing, but CHAOS upon this world! All demons and angels will be free and answer to no one! Is that what you want? Chaos? Apocalypse? ... what have I done
*Present day*
Whatever happened to de Prado, we are free now. Fucking finally.
I'm going back to Inferno.
Me too. Come visit me sometimes, friends. GWAAA HAHRHHAHRR, I'm fucking with you! You are no friends, and I will torture you all if you ever come close to my domain! So long!
Furcas, Buriol. Wait.
What now?
We were all given armies to command. Men and lesser demons of Marignon will follow our orders. Magoth was given the rulership over the capital.
This filthy city stinks. I am sick of it.
Ah, but our brother Ethanim has a point. We can go back to Inferno any time, but think about the opportunities we're missing! Our lofty master is most likely dead. Which means that Marginon is ours from now on!
Are you fucking delusional, Igarak?
We have armies. You have the capital.
BUT WE CANNOT DECLARE WAR UPON ANYONE! ANY-ONE!
Why not? PEOPLE OF MARIGNON! You are expected to fight Mictlan, Atlantis, Bogarus - because MAGOTH here said so! Please sign up for duty at your nearest Arch Devil.
Not convincing.
We can deal with that. Soon the news about de Prado's death will spread, they will find a new mortal to rule the Kingdom. Carmont, Mendoza, Tomaso, Diego - no matter. None of them has de Prado's will. We can control them.
Then what? I'm not interested in ruling a Kingdom, or ascending to "godhood" of a single worthless realm.
Are you interested in binding Angels to your will? Or obtaining unique magic artifacts, perchance? I've heard your personal collection of books obtained a couple of truly exquisite pieces recently.
Yes. I must admit, living among mortals is hard work, but also profitable.
Brothers! Let us stay. Let us rule this Kingdom together!
The blood of local virgins can be used to summon more demons. I can certainly use some reinforcements back in Inferno.
True. If things go our way, we will all come back to Inferno rich and powerful, supported by entire armies.
Hmpf. *Thinks of spitting multiple times* Our hands are tied. We can't invade Bogarus, Atlantis or Mictlan without a declaration of war. Our personal forces will follow, but that's it. We will only provoke a rebellion here in this worthless Kingdom.
Correction - we can attack Atlantis. They were the ones who declared war upon Marignon about three months ago. Their declaration is safely stored in de Prado's correspondence.
What about Bogarus and Mictlan?
Let's wait. I'm sure their declarations will be announced soon.
And if not?
We'll have to fight Atlantis alone. For now.
You clowns forgot one ISSUE here. So maybe you can manipulate the mortals into following your commands. Maybe the lesser demons will do it also, out of fear. The angels that were summoned by Magoth are his personal slaves too. BUT!
The Fallen Angels. If de Prado is dead...
They are free. Bound to his will no longer.
Hmm. This is a problem indeed. No Fallen Angel will follow our orders, or anybody's else for that matter. And we don't know what motivates them either. Truth be told, I never heard any of them speak.
Apparently, none of them wingfuckers left this realm yet. I suppose they don't plan to. What if they start randomly attacking everyone and everything? What if they attack us? Or lead our armies away?
HA HA, ISN'T IT FUN, PEOPLE? AREN'T YOU ENTERTAINED?!
