Blood Rage (1x1)

[Stardustblade358 806]

After watching Rave break down in tears, Samael slowly let go of him. The child was small, young, and emotionally fragile. He certainly didn't seem the fighting type either. Just now he shivered like a leaf caught in the wind. "(So the angel killed his parents? That's a first, why the hell would the angels kill his parents, wait, and then kidnap him? Doesn't make much sense to me....What the hell have I gotten myself into?)" Samael thought as he rubbed his head. "Stop crying." He hissed, feeling a headache about to hit him. It made absolutely no sense. The angels have bigger enemies. They gave much more important stuff. Why out of everything would they target to torture a single child? There was obviously something off, a missing puzzle piece, and it was pricking at Samael's side to no end. "Listen. Stop crying. Look, I'll take you somewhere, anywhere that you want. Maybe a family member's house, someone that won't hand you over to the angels, maybe someone you know that might know more about you that you know yourself?"Samael asked. He had no idea what the next step would be. "Did your parents ever mentioned anything that seemed odd? About angels or maybe elves or anything at all that you might think it could possibly tie up to the fact that the angels have targeted you?"Samael asked. As he did, he reached into his satchel and started to look in it, looking for a specific rune.

[Sukai 37]

"I don't think so..." Rave answered as he tried remembering something. "Nope." Rave was as lost as Sameal. Rave looked around. "And I have no family... The only family I knew just died." Rave started to think a moment. "Do you know of a safe place I can go?" Rave asked the demon.

[Stardustblade358 806]

Samael crossed his arms in thought. Was there a safe place? Maybe there was. There was his home in the Underworld. The place was rather dark, and needless to say filled with lava and fire. But once getting used to it he was sure the kid would adjust. Besides, his mom would love to have Samael bring friends over, as it appeared Samael didn’t bring any. Then there was that one friend. “I actually have two options for you.” Samael said as he turned to Rave. “Option one, you can come and stay at my place in the Underworld. My mother won’t mind and I’m sure you can be kept busy with my smaller siblings. You can stay until we can figure out what to do. Option two, I have a friend in the Elven Realm, who can most likely keep watch over you and give you a place to stay. She owes me a favor, therefor I think I can make a deal for her to keep you at her place for a while.” Samael explained. He wagged his tail. “Now then, Rave. Where do you wish to go?”

[Sukai 37]

Rave stared at him for minute thinking before he answered. "What ever you think is better... Am I even allowed in different worlds?" Rave was confused and scared. All he wanted at this point was to just go back in time to before anything happened so he had his family. Even though he hated it so much, he was starting to miss the way his older brother use to pick on him. 'Why did this happen?' He thought.

 

Mean while...In Heaven, base A

Yasagi entered a room. The room was gigantic and white, designs formed with random blue neon lines decorated the walls. At on end of the room sat an old man, obviously an angel by the similarities in his outfit to Yasagi's. In the room were four others. One was huge and very stout. His head sorta square shaped and his jaw was very defined. He seemed to weigh over 200 pounds and all muscle. Another very slim and tall. He looked like he barely weighed 100 if he even did. Another was short, like 4 feet and the last one was average but had a mask covering his mouth.

 

"Sir!" Yasagi addressed the old man. "I disposed of the family and took the surviver."

"Which one survived?" He asked.

"The youngest.... But he escaped."

"What did you expect? He's not going to be simple to capture. Loui how is the device?" He asked another angel.

"Nearly finished!" The short one answered. "I'm sure I'll have it finished before the child is captured."

"Great." The old man answered. "Bruce, I want you to go with Yasagi. We'll need your muscle."

"Sir!" Bruce saluted and all five left the old man.

"Nearly complete.... Hehehe ...HAHAHA!"

[Stardustblade358 806]

Samael calculated his options. Even if he were to take the kid to the Underworld, it would only cause more friction between the angels and demons than there already was, and that wouldn't be a very good thing for anyone, truthfully. The poor kid would be frightened by the sight of demons to begin with. Most mortals got easily scared by demons. So that meant only one option left. "Come on, I'm going to take you to the Eleven Kingdom." Samael said. Before Rave could complain or say anything, Samael wrapped his arms around Rave, and with a push from the branch, he took off flying. He could only fly so fast. But they better get started now and hope to reach the kingdom by the next day or two without any more angels coming after them. "Don't let go now!" Samael said as he flew low, close to the ground, in case the angels were taking the high skies looking for them. "You're going to like my friend. She's really nice!"

[Sukai 37]

Rave nodded, he assumed that the demon knew what he was doing. "What is she like?" Rave asked regarding Sameal's friend in the elven world.

[Stardustblade358 806]

Samael had to think for that answer, to make sure that he didn't let his feelings show, and actually be honest about her. "She's tall, pale skinned, long pink hair, personality wise?" Samael paused. "...she's quick tempered. But overall very determined and nice when she wants to be. She's learning how to use magic, so be careful around her and her strange potions and experiments! Her name is Calina Silinus." Samael said. They eventually reached a part of the land where there were some cliffs, leading down to valleys and rivers. The size of them, a fall would mean death quite easily. "Alright. This should be good enough." Samael said, his tail reaching into his pocket and taking out a strange rune. "Hang around for a second alright?" Samael said casually as he dropped Rave, only to quickly catch him by his leg with his tail, making the poor kid hang head down and stare straight into impending death. Samael concentrated as the rune started to float in his hands. "Ehwaz, allow us transport into the parallel universe of this world. Allow us into the Elven Realm, by body and spirit." Samael chanted, his eyes slightly closed as the rune started to glow brightly. The rune floated in front of them and suddenly started to fall. Samael quickly picked Rave back up into his arms and started to fly down, following the rune. Just before hitting the ground, the rune stopped and opened a bright portal. "Hold on tight!" Samael warned as he flew into the portal, having it disappear soon after. Inside the portal there were multiple portals, all leading to different possible locations. But the two were pulled by the current of the spell and right into their respective portal. The moment they came through the portal, they were encountered by the setting sun. As their eyes adjusted to the light, below them stood a wonderful looking elven city. "Take a look Rave, ever seen an elven city before?" Samael asked with a smile, flying down to the city and landing in one of its plains. He made sure to put Rave gently down before his body collapsed onto the floor besides the kid. Samael's wings lowered, covering Samael's body from sight. "That's so strange...It was only transport for a demon and a human...but the energy it took feels like it was for an army of humans!" Samael panted, recovering from his sudden loss of energy. First the scent, now this. This kid was a rather special human, it seemed.

[Sukai 37]

Rave looked down upon the elven city. Everything looked like it was decades behind the humans but at the same looked more fasiacated that us. They had small buildings made of wood like logs and branches with some sort of panels on the roofs conjuring some sort of energy and converting it into electricity. The elves were just walking around like normal people and acting like humans. If they didn't have those long elven ears you wouldn't even have known they were elves. Rave wasn't expecting it to seem so much like a human village. "This is an elven city?" He asked Sameal but was interrupted by an elf that just happened to be by them.

 

"Yes, that's Mitsuyagi Village. Wait!" The elf took a second to realize. "You've never seen an elven village. You must be human... And with a DEMON!" The elf drew out a long bow with blades on both sides of the staff and the drew back an arrow and locked on to the demon. "What are a human and a demon doing here in the elven world?" The elf had short brown hair and green eyes. Broad shoulders and a solid torso, he wore a cloth shirt with ripped sleeves and a few tears and cuts throughout the shirt. He had his quiver tossed over his right shoulder. He wore some baggy pants that seemed to be made with the same fabric as his shirt. The look in eyes held great anger to the intrusion.

Samael sat up. This is why he wanted to land in a plain, in hopes that there wasn't anyone around. Sadly luck wasn't on their side. Samael quickly expanded his wings, wrapping one of them around Rave protectingly, never breaking eye contact with the elf. "We're here to visit a friend." Samuel said. Last time he came here he had to hide his wings and wear a disguise to not gain much attention. If he learned anything from his last visit, was the structure of the elves, and how they didn't like having other species meddling in their realm. Especially demons and angels. "I mean no harm. I'm only here to bring this human to a friend of mine that lives within this village. We've come to visit Calina of the house of Silinus. You may escort us to her home and you will see that we are allies, not enemies." Samael explained. "If you want to interrogate me, at least let me bring the human child to her."

[Sukai 37]

The elf narrowed his eyes. "What is your purpose for bringing this human here."

[Stardustblade358 806]

Samael stood up. He didn't blame the elf for not trusting him. They were at a small war after all. After what the angels did, no one trusted each other species wise. "Listen. This kid's family has been slaughtered by angels for absolutely no reason whatsoever. He has no family, no where to go. He only has me, and my friend. He could be in danger for all we know. I know we are different from you, but for the sake of this child, I've decided to bring him over here for safety. That's why we are here. That's why I brought a human over." Samael explained.

[Sukai 37]

The elf sharpened his aim on the demon. "If this is true... Why not take the human to the underworld? Is it because you know the angels are after him so want to drop the problem off here so the angels won't start shit with you demons! Isn't that right?"

[Stardustblade358 806]

Samael snapped. “Because that’s exactly where the angels expect me to take him!” Samael said as he suddenly flapped his wings, within seconds being in front of the elf and holding him by the neck of the clothing. “Listen to me. The moment I rescued this kid, the angels have already got reason enough to chase after demons in general. As a demon the angels will first and most likely think of looking in the Underworld. I’m here to leave the kid so I can form a distraction down there and keep the angels occupied as long as I can until the kid can find out a little bit more why the angels are after him. So either you let us through and I will be gone, leading any angel trace away from here, or we can debate all day, which gives the angels enough time to figure out he ain’t in the underworld.” Samael hissed, dropping the elf onto the floor. “I’m a demon, but I’m not heartless enough to leave a child in the hands of the angels.”

[Sukai 37]

The elf shrugged off the demons aggressive behavior and began to think. "Well you should probably go explain yourself to the elders before you drop such a load on us." the elf suggested.

[Stardustblade358 806]

Samael lowered his wings, calming himself down. "Then so be it." Samael said. "(If I bring this kid to the Underworld, the angels will be waiting for me there. I just know it. f I can provide a distraction big enough. Maybe it'll give Rave enough time to figure something out.)" Samael thought. On what his family would think when he returned and spoke of the story would have to be for another time. "Come on Rave." Samael said as he snapped at the elf. "Take us to them, please."

[Sukai 37]

The elf nudged his bow forward, motioning the two to move in that direction and off the cliff to the village below. "They stay in the big green building in the center of town." The elf directed.

 

Rave looked down to the village. He has been motionless and speechless this entire time. The building that matched the elf's description had a gigantic pole sticking out of the top. The shadow of the pole casted around the town to keep track of time like one of those old clocks. "Down there?" Rave asked pointing at the building.

 

"yes." the elf answered. "the sanctum of wisdom. The four eldest elves live there to bring wisdom and work as visors for the king. They will know what to do."

[Stardustblade358 806]

Samael turned to the elf. “Thank you.” Samael said. He picked up Rave and flew down the cliff down to the village, landing softly on the ground. As he did,. Elves turned to look at the unusual creatures before them: a human and a demon. Their reactions varied from frightened to anger to curiosity. Samael wrapped one of his wings around Rave to protect him from the stares of the elves as they walked to the green tower. “These elves look like they’ve never seen such a handsome devil as myself before.” Samael said jokingly to lighten the mood. When they did reach the indicated building, the guards were about to stop them when Samael hissed at them and hurried inside with Rave. “We have business with the elders move over!” 

[Sukai 37]

The guards refused to move but were then ordered to. "Let them in..." and old mans voice spoke through the shadows of the elders' refuge. Rave and Sameal entered only to find silhouettes of four elves, the elders. "Hello demon. Why have you and this human have come here?" one elder asked

 

"Can't you tell... This human is not human, his scent is ... Bizarre."

 

"Yes! He obviously more than human."

 

"Possibly a demon as well, he seems comfortable with this one here."

 

"I sense elf blood within him."

 

"Great power rests deep within him indeed."

 

"let's let them explain themselves before we begin making claims." The elders chattered among themselves for a while before actually asking what the two wanted. "Why have you came to our domain?"

[Stardustblade358 806]

Samael got a hand on his hips. “We’ve come to look for answers, and refuge for this child. This kid, Rave. His family has been murdered by the angels, only for him to be kidnapped by the angels. If I had not rescued him out of that base I don’t know what could’ve happened to him.” Samael explained as he looked down at Rave. “The angels will soon be after him, I believe. Considering I’m a demon they will look in the Underworld first. I was hoping he can stay here and look for answers of why he’s being chased by angels while I distract the angels in the Underworld.” Samael expanded his wings a little. “Can you help us?”

[Sukai 37]

The elder elves looked at each other. "The angels are smart.. Maybe too smart."

 

"Yes, they would assume a demon would not bring a human to your world."

 

"But they also expect you to be just as smart and try to counter their plan to intercept you."

 

"Regardless off you out smarting them or them out smarting themselves. The have probably already have tried many attempts to the underworld."

 

"That depends! How drastic they need this human."

 

"Precisely! So they will try to assault the underworld and try to find you or the boy. We will keep him here for three days then he will be moved. You however should return to your home now." The elders continued to speak amongst themselves like they were of one mind. "Go and try to find some information in the underworld. In three days if you interested meet us in the human world by the Coast of Eufaula."

[Stardustblade358 806]

Samael sighed, out of relief. Now he would have to go home and explain this to his family…that would be fun. “(But then again, this kid wouldn’t be the first to lose people to the angels.)” Samael thought. He looked up at the elders. “I see you sense he’s not a normal human either. I thank you for your understanding. May I add I have a friend you might know of, an elf maiden known by the name of Calina Silinus. Maybe she can help. I trust her…she’s kind.” With that Samael turned over to Rave, smiling. “See? Things turned out pretty good so far. These guys will take good care of you. I’ll do my best to distract the angels. You try to find answers, alright?” Samael said as he rubbed Rave’s head. He then took out one of his runes, handing it to Rave. “This is the rune known as Algiz, it’ll bring you protection. We’ll see each other in three days.” Samael said as he backed away. “Until then.” With that Samael took out the rune of transportation, red aura surrounding him as he waved at Rave. Within moments he disappeared from sight, and from the Elven Kingdom.

[Sukai 37]

Rave took the rune with worry in his eyes hidden behind a stern face. He was trying to be strong to figure out what is going on. 'Why do they want me? Why destroy my parents?' Sameal left left as these thoughts filled his head. 'What will happen to me?'

An elder walked up to the boy. "Lets take him to this elf the demon spoke of."

"Yes, Tomorrow we will try to find out more."

The three other elders left while the one stayed. "I am, Elder Saji. What may your name be?"

Rave stared up at Saji. "R-Rave."

"Well we are going to take you somewhere for the night." Rave nodded and followed Saji out of the room and outside. The sun was set and everyone was inside. Lights on everywhere. Rave continued to follow Saji to a small house. 'So this is her house...' Rave thought as Saji knocked on the door.

[Stardustblade358 806]

As the door was knocked, there was the sound of a small explosion and shattered glass. “I’M COMING!” Then some flipped over furniture or so. Soon enough the door opened to show a youthful elf, long pink hair and bright pink eyes with a small beauty mark under her right eye. “Who is…E-ELDER SAJI!” Calina stammered as she quickly gave a bow of respect. “What brings me the honor of having you in front of my doorstep?!” Calina asked smiling, just barely noticing the human boy besides the elder.

 

…

 

“…and that’s what happened.” Samael breathed as he looked up. He sat in a cushion in front of his family members at the family home. His father, Seth Tartarus, a pale skinned man with glowing yellow eyes, dark red hair (much darker than Samael’s) and a scar going across his face, his wings black and yellow. Samael’s mother, Pandora, who had skin so pale it was gray. Black eyes with gray pupils, long silky black hair as she had dark gray horns, her teeth sharp, and a scar going across her nose, her wings white and black. Samael’s younger sister, Hecate, who was a youthful girl with darkened skin, gray eyes, raven hair made in the form of braids, wearing glasses and what seemed to be a school uniform, her wings being red and white. Finally Samael’s older brother, Uriel, who’s skin was a darken red, his eyes black with yellow pupils in the shape of slits, his hair white and long, bangs framing his face as it went down the back as a ponytail, large red horns on his head, his wings black and grey. All analyzing the story that they had just heard. “I hope you realize that because of your actions, you’ve brought the angels to our direction, Samael.” Pandora hissed. Samael closed his eyes. “I understand that. But I couldn’t leave the child alone.” Samael explained. “Though it concerns me what the angels might do to us once they do arrive looking for the child, I commend you for doing the right thing. The angels have taken away our youngest son, Nazar from us out of spite. He angels should not be allowed to just abuse anyone. Besides, if they want the human…then by all means they shouldn’t have it.” Seth explained. “What should we do?” Hecate asked. “We prepare, and if needed, we fight back.”
