Leviathan

The young man started, having not seen the girl coming, and his expression turned to one of curiosity, not having expected someone so young to be present at the school. But he had no choice but to surrender a small smile at her sweet innocence.

Something that I lost so long ago.

"Nothing that you should concern yourself with little one, just something that happened long ago." His eyes, red as the morning sun, met hers, as short as she was, and his smiled widened a bit more.

So you give half-truths, yes? You may be angered as a result of this, but your constant brooding did not stem from this alone.

Kneeling down, Leviathan shook his head, "Besides, you're far too young for me to burden you with such problems. I'd not wish such foul thoughts upon your young mind."

"...You really need to cheer up," Mara said bluntly, and took advantage of Leviathan's kneeling position to reach up and force his mouth into a smile. "There," she said contentedly, but couldn't keep a straight face for more than five seconds--soon enough she burst out laughing. "You look funny like that," she giggled, letting go of his face and letting it return to its previous expression. "Hmm, but you don't have to be super worried around me," she declared. "I know lots of stuff."

"I'm sure you do." He chuckled, "But I'm sure that your sister doesn't want you to know some things yet, either."

Sister...

What?

Nothing to concern yourself with, insect. Continue.

Levi looked unsettled for a moment, knowing that he was being left in the dark about something or the other, but he would figure it out soon enough, after all, he was linked to that creature in his head, neither of them could hide anything from the other for long. "After all, if you learn everything now, then what's the point of growing up?"

Besides, not everything can be learned without pain, and loss, and death. Torment, rejection. All of it. I wouldn't want to break such a frail, ignorant bliss.

"Getting cool powers like my big sister," Mara said earnestly, grinning. "I'm already getting wings like her, so I'll probably get powers and stuff soon! See, look!" She turned around and carefully lifted the back of her shirt enough to show the black points protruding from her back. "Big sister can make her wings show up and go away whenever she wants, and I don't think I'll get to do that, but that's okay, 'cause I'm going to have wings and fly just like my big sister," she said proudly.

"Wings? Well, isn't that interesting."

I don't have a set of my own, unfortunately.

Oh, but you do. You need only unfurl those great sails over this rancid world, and bury those beneath it in your wrath.

"I don't have any myself, but I must say, it sounds incredible to fly above the rest of the world, and see it as from the eyes of a bird. But be careful not to fly too high, you'll end up falling, just as Icarus did."

The prince of hell smiled, obviously jesting, and unsure whether or not the girl knew the legend of Icarus.

Mara nodded earnestly, and then paused, her tiny brow furrowing in concentration as she tried to remember if she knew the name Icarus from somewhere.

Finally, she decided that she didn't, and looked back up, eyes wide as she asked, "Who's Icarus?"

[Ranoria]

Ryujin

The lord of the oceans, as mighty as he was, had been unable to so much as lay a hand on Tlaloc once he went berserk. He'd fought beings with command over the storm before, but nothing quite of Tlaloc's ilk. Xavier had healed him, and that had, at the very least, done away with the burns covering his flesh, but his body was stiff, clumsy, and painful, the smell of the salty water that filled the sea only increasing the longing to shed this mortal shell.

He watched the brief exchange between the two demons, and took note to watch out for the victor, seeing just how quickly he'd finished the battle, before turning on a heal and leaving. He didn't head to his dorm, but rather outside, to the water's edge, where he could at least feel it lapping at his fingertips, the sun still high enough to be shining down on his back.

Why am I here?

He was a mighty dragon-king, a kami who ruled over the seven seas, and this was his reward?

It was frustrating, to be sure. Maddening, in fact, had he been of a somewhat weaker mind, for a beast of his reverence to be caged in this school, in this form.

I could drown them all in an instant if I so desired it.

As he knelt against the tide, a wave came up higher than the others, just a bit, at his slightest whim before he released it.

I'm sure that would go over well with the thousands of other deities in existence.

"Wings? Well, isn't that interesting."

I don't have a set of my own, unfortunately.

Finally, she decided that she didn't, and looked back up, eyes wide as she asked, "Who's Icarus?"

"You don't know the legend of Icarus? Well now, that's something that I can tell you." The rejected prince paused, gathering his thoughts before continuing, "A long time ago, on an island called Crete, there lived a great inventor who went by the name Daedalus. Daedalus was a genius, but he and his son, Icarus, were trapped in Crete. To escape, Daedalus created them both a pair of wings, wings made from the feathers of the birds that visited them and the wax of candles, and one day, they flew out their window to escape Crete."

"But all was not well. Daedalus had warned his son not to fly too close to the sun, as that would melt his wings, nor to descend towards the sea, which would clog them. Icarus, though, decided not to listen, and flew too high before he fell to the earth after the sun melted his wings."

He stood, shaking his head, "I'm sure that you'll be fine, child. You'll have your sister with you, after all." He gestured towards Charlotte with a smile, "She won't let you fall."

Mara's eyes widened slightly, and her lower lip started trembling as tears welled in her eyes. "T-that's so sad!" she cried, hugging Leviathan, who had the dubious honor of being the closest person to her and thus the one receiving the ridiculous strength of her tackle-hug. "Daedalus lost his son an' he worked so hard an' it's not fair!"

...Mommy would be really sad if I died... so I can't ever fall!

...Mommy would be really sad if I died... so I can't ever fall!

Leviathan grunted slightly, stepping back to regain his balance to some extent, patting the child's head, "Don't cry, little one, it's only a story, after all. A sad one, but only a story nonetheless. Your tears needn't be spilt over it, and I'm sure that you won't let that happen, right? You'll be careful."

Just as I have been for so long now.

"Like I said, your sister wouldn't let you fall, even if it takes awhile to get the hand of your wings, once they are ready for flight. And once you've learned to fly, well, the sky's the limit."

[Luminesa]

Charlotte turned to look at Azazel, nodding silently and trying to hide the fear that shot through her body every time she saw a demon, every time she remembered her first encounter with one of their kind.

That meeting had ended in her being ruined and disgraced, and she had no desire to repeat the events of that fateful day yet another time.

She ignored her other self screaming at her that she should have killed Lucifer, that she should be killing every demon there, and simply stayed where she was, hoping the girl who'd begged for help would listen to her warning."...why're you mad?" Mara asked curiously, tugging at Leviathan's shirt. Lux had abandoned their game, and left her looking for other entertainment when she'd spotted the grimacing demon. "You need to cheer up? I can help. I'm good at cheering people up," she said with no humility whatsoever. She saw no need to lie about it; after all, she cheered her mother up all the time, and her mother was so sad so often that that surely meant she was good at it. So she could help. She'd be useful!

Azazel

Azazel's eyes narrowed slightly, it wasn't hard for him to see, almost to smell, the girl's fear, but as curious as he was as to its roots, he could tell that she wouldn't be comfortable answering that particular inquiry, and his assumption was that she had a fear of demons, for whatever reason. There were many of them, after all.

"I'll be off then." Azazel shed his coat, seeing that the bleeding in his arm was leaving a stain that was darkening the crimson of his garment, revealing a skin tight, black and sleeveless undershirt before looking to Hyperion, "You said something about the beach? I have plenty of alcohol, various pills, narcotics, you name it if you're looking for a party."

One hand shifted over to his arm the bleeding having slowed down by now, but nonetheless, his lifeblood still dripped on to the floor from the singular wound he'd sustained during the course of the battle, "Besides, I think we could all use a little get away, don't you?"

Leviathan

The young man started, having not seen the girl coming, and his expression turned to one of curiosity, not having expected someone so young to be present at the school. But he had no choice but to surrender a small smile at her sweet innocence.

Something that I lost so long ago.

"Nothing that you should concern yourself with little one, just something that happened long ago." His eyes, red as the morning sun, met hers, as short as she was, and his smiled widened a bit more.

So you give half-truths, yes? You may be angered as a result of this, but your constant brooding did not stem from this alone.

Kneeling down, Leviathan shook his head, "Besides, you're far too young for me to burden you with such problems. I'd not wish such foul thoughts upon your young mind."

Lux continued to stare at Azazel, though now he folded his wings and relaxed just slightly. He did not know if he was going to hurt Charlotte, and so he watched and stood mostly prepared, in case he was needed. "...You will understand shortly why I have been sent, demon...Please do not act hostile toward any students here or I will have no choice..." he mumbled. His voice was gentle and unintimidating now, but he meant every word.

Xavier noticed the tension and walked over to try and calm Lux. Putting a hand on his shoulder, he explained, "...Hey. I know it's awkward being around this bunch, at the very least...but we can't quite do anything right now. We all need to calm down and heal. Nobody is going to be able to stomach another fight right now."

"...No...I have been sent for a purpose...The truth will remain unknown until that purpose is accomplished...Time will remain only moving in place...It must be done soon..." Lux whispered. Strangely enough, he jolted slightly when Xavier touched him. He seemed shocked for just a moment, but then his body processes the action and reacted appropriately. "...You are my brother...you must understand..."

"Yes, I understand you're...upset...and confused. But please, we really don't need to fight right now. You took a lot of hits for Tlaloc while we were all fighting. You don't need to push yourself right now," Xavier warned patiently. He had seen Azazel's weapons, and he did not want Lux to just be killed in one shot. After all, the Angel did not seem to have many offensive abilities.

"...It must be accomplished..." he whispered, before bowing his head and becoming silent.

Azazel

He'd been talking to Hyperion, but looked back at the angel, puzzled, and not hiding that confused look whatsoever. "Alright, let me get a few things straight." The demon tossed his slightly torn coat over his shoulder, arms crossed, not really in a position in which he could grab his knife at a moment's notice, "Not only was I attacked, but I let my attacker live, which I don't do very often, and beyond that, I made sure that you assholes didn't screw up the healing process. Because who knows if one of you blind dolts would have tried to pull the arrows out the wrong way? And now, you, who, if I may remind you, threatened me," Azazel pointed to himself, blood having clotted the wound in his arm now, "Not the other way around, are telling me not to be aggressive towards other students?"

The warrior's eyes narrowed, just slightly, not as if angered, but , "Look, I'm not going to point fingers, but I haven't started any fights here, and as much as I enjoy a good spat, I don't intend to. If you do, then so be it, but there's no need for us to cross our blades unless you loathe my presence to the extent that you have no other options."

[Cruxa]

Lucifer

He sat up slowly, wincing at his newly sealed wounds. "Rrgh..." He saw Filia, concerned and standing over him. He was grateful to have her. He wasn't sure how far he was willing to take this, but he was grateful all the same. He saw Leviathan talking to Mara. He regretted everything he'd done to that kid. But, he supposed, it was too late to do anything about it now. He saw Azazel. He hated him, but he also felt a crushing guilt for trying to kill him. Instantly, he pushed all these feelings aside. Feelings help nothing.

And so he stood up. "How's Tal?"

[Charlia]

Mara's eyes widened slightly, and her lower lip started trembling as tears welled in her eyes. "T-that's so sad!" she cried, hugging Leviathan, who had the dubious honor of being the closest person to her and thus the one receiving the ridiculous strength of her tackle-hug. "Daedalus lost his son an' he worked so hard an' it's not fair!"

...Mommy would be really sad if I died... so I can't ever fall!

"Like I said, your sister wouldn't let you fall, even if it takes awhile to get the hand of your wings, once they are ready for flight. And once you've learned to fly, well, the sky's the limit."

Mara looked up, rubbing her eyes. "'s not real? Oh... thought it was real. Okay... still sad though. But I won't fall, nope nope nope, 'cause big sister would be really, really sad if I did, and it's my job to keep her cheered up! So no falling for me, nope!"

[Apror]

After looking at Mara, he could see the little girl was obviously very special. Though, he wondered why she was in such a dangerous place. Im not going to pretend this isn't what I'd call keeping good company he thought to himself, though he suspected there was something behind it.

He saw Charlotte keeping a close eye on the girl, and he wasn't oblivious as to why. He walked up behind Charlotte, next to her, then let out a sigh.

"Say, I have a question. Why is this girl in such a dangerous place? Two Demons were close to tearing each other apart, that's not what I call a safe environment." He asked her in curiosity.

Charlotte turned to see an angel, and Shekhinah supplied the name instantly. Andrew. She managed to keep her face neutral as she replied, "It's safer than where we both came from, and I'm not leaving her on her own, not while she's unable to protect herself. Even when she is, though... it's my responsibility to take care of her, as her older sister. So there's no way she's going to be anywhere but by my side."

He cocked his head a little, then looked to Mara. Looking back at Charlotte, he wondered her origins, but didn't ask. "I won't disagree with you, the world is a dangerous place." He said that, his eyes going to Lucifer for a half a second before returning to Charlotte. "Either way, I just thought it was interesting. I didn't expect to see small child here. It's a little unnerving I suppose."

"I understand," Charlotte responded quietly, nodding. "Still, she's much safer this way, so it doesn't really matter that much what other people think of having a child here. Sisters have to look out for each other, after all."

And there's no way I could just let her be on her own... not ever.

"Anyway, my name is Charlotte. And she's Mara. Who are you?"

Not that I don't already know...

"My name is Andrew, Charlotte. It's nice to meet you." Looking over to Mara, he continued "Mara too. I won't say siblings shouldn't stay close to each other, I've been with mine for a long time, being one of the oldest." He said this, thinking about the Demons, and becoming internally solemn.

I know what it's like to loose brothers, and it's the most terrible feeling. he thought sadly. "Seeing how little Mara is, that's undoubtedly true she needs a guiding hand right now. I remember when my brothers were like that.......well, besides Michael. He's been grown as far as I could remember."

I remember when my brothers were like that.......well, besides Michael. He's been grown as far as I could remember."

"...As I thought," Charlotte said quietly. "You are an angel. I suppose you've lost a lot of family, haven't you? What with all of the corruption and impurity and all of that..."

All of those things that led to me being here... and to Mara.

The only blessing Father saw fit to grant me. At least she's not a monster like her father... even if her wings do look suspicious, there's no reason to think they're going to change her personality.

"Yeah...... we haven't really been the most united family, and I don't think that will change for the moment." To Andrew, the situation was so tragic because his fallen brothers couldn't comeback. Though, he's seen them. They stopped wanting to a long time ago.

"How long have you been here?" He said looking at the school, and the students, though they really weren't what you'd call school age. They looked it though.

"...Yes, well... there are reasons for that, aren't there? As for your question, I only just came here a little while ago. I've never actually been here before... it should be interesting. I'll admit, I have a lot to learn, about a lot of things. And of course, Mara has even more to learn."

"I've come here to learn, though I'm also keeping an eye on some of our more unruly classmates." Andrew rolled his shoulders, looking around. "I have little doubt this will be interesting. But what interesting is exactly kinda worries me." Andrew tended to do a lot of worrying, wether it be over what Demons were doing, or if the Mortals were in distress.

[The Flutterlands]

Lucifer

He sat up slowly, wincing at his newly sealed wounds. "Rrgh..." He saw Filia, concerned and standing over him. He was grateful to have her. He wasn't sure how far he was willing to take this, but he was grateful all the same. He saw Leviathan talking to Mara. He regretted everything he'd done to that kid. But, he supposed, it was too late to do anything about it now. He saw Azazel. He hated him, but he also felt a crushing guilt for trying to kill him. Instantly, he pushed all these feelings aside. Feelings help nothing.

And so he stood up. "How's Tal?"

Filia Umbrarum

Filia waited and watched as Charlotte healed her boyfriend. Really she was beginning to get fed up with him getting into fights. Three times in one day she had to stop him in the middle of another fight. It was getting frustrating really. Nonetheless, she smiled once he was completely healed and awake as well as conscious. Filia looked at Tal before looking back Lucifer with a smile. "The teacher's okay." she spoke softly before her face turned into a scowl as she stared directly into Lucifer's eyes, "Now listen to me, Lucy. I don't want you getting into fights again. I'm getting very closento breaking up with you if you keep it up. I don't like you getting hurt and I don't like you hurting others, devils be dammned, pun intended."

[Ranoria]

Leviathan grunted slightly, stepping back to regain his balance to some extent, patting the child's head, "Don't cry, little one, it's only a story, after all. A sad one, but only a story nonetheless. Your tears needn't be spilt over it, and I'm sure that you won't let that happen, right? You'll be careful."

Just as I have been for so long now.

"Like I said, your sister wouldn't let you fall, even if it takes awhile to get the hand of your wings, once they are ready for flight. And once you've learned to fly, well, the sky's the limit."

Mara looked up, rubbing her eyes. "'s not real? Oh... thought it was real. Okay... still sad though. But I won't fall, nope nope nope, 'cause big sister would be really, really sad if I did, and it's my job to keep her cheered up! So no falling for me, nope!"

Levi really couldn't help but smile. This little girl, as emotional as she was, could teeter from as happy as could be to being sad in a heartbeat. Maybe that was just something that all children had in common, he wouldn't have known. The only children he'd ever allowed himself to grow attached to had burned in his own hellfire.

"You are a dedicated one, that's for sure. It's admirable to be so dedicated to one's duties, I suppose."

"You are a dedicated one, that's for sure. It's admirable to be so dedicated to one's duties, I suppose."

"Well, I have to be," Mara said with a shrug. "Big sister gets real sad sometimes. 'fore I was born, I don't know if anyone made her happy. An' I don't like it when she's sad, 'cause it makes me sad too, so when she's sad I just have to cheer her up! Can't not be dedated," she pronounced, not even realizing that she'd missed a syllable. "'Cause otherwise we'd both be really sad!"

"...Yes, well... there are reasons for that, aren't there? As for your question, I only just came here a little while ago. I've never actually been here before... it should be interesting. I'll admit, I have a lot to learn, about a lot of things. And of course, Mara has even more to learn."

But what interesting is exactly kinda worries me." Andrew tended to do a lot of worrying, wether it be over what Demons were doing, or if the Mortals were in distress.

"...Yes... I suppose some of them do need to be watched, don't they?" Charlotte muttered, seeming a bit distracted. Demons... devils... I won't let them hurt my little girl. No one puts a hand on her... and if anyone tries to hurt her...

They die.

Andrew could feel her strong feelings for the girl, and she seemed to be a little.......off. He wasn't sure, but he felt her dislike of Demons, and one with a passion........and it somehow connected to the girl, though he had no clue as to why. He just knew she had feelings on the matter. "Charlotte, are you alright? You seem a little tense if that's the accurate word."
