On the red star, one man who was filled with a heavy feeling of discontent was sitting on a bed and staring at pictures on his wall.
Whoosh
Sothing slipped out of his hands and stabbed the picture right in the middle. It was a dart, one which was silver in color and extrely sharp.
It did not just stab the picture but went through the wall itself and got stuck in there. This was a testant to the kind of strength or rage with which it had been thrown.
The red haired man, captain Atlas was glaring at pictures of none other than Scarlet.
Whoosh
He threw another dart at a different picture, and it stabbed the Scarlet’s eye.
A black haired woman rose from behind the man, naked with only a white sheet covering her body. She hugged him from the back and placed her head in the crook of his neck.
"You are still obsessing over the woman who doesn’t want you instead of making love to the one who does. Co on Atlas, we are succubae, we need sex to live. If she will not give it up, walk away. Obsession does not look good on you."
Atlas smirked arrogantly and threw another dart at a different picture. This one landed on on her left side eye, ripping the paper in two.
"She has not rejected ." he said calmly.
"I heard she snubbed you." The female succubus said.
"She was with her family mbers. Wait until I get her alone, then I will show her what kind of man I am."
He threw the female succubus over his shoulders and she landed on his laps.
Then he gripped her hair tightly and licked his lips.
"Should I show you what I will do to her when I am finished with her?"
The female succubus laughed loudly and threw her head back.
"She still won’t want you. She is obsessed with that general they way we are obsessed with sex. Have you seen the way she looks at him?
I understand her however, many of our kind have tried to set traps for him but he sohow always slips out of them. I have never known a human to resist the scent of a succubus. Maybe it’s just but I have this feeling that this world is becoming more and more weird."
She looked at Atlas and said in a neutral voice, "You should be careful. There is a lot of weirdness going around, demons like us have started disappearing. Rumor has it has that soone is snatching us off the streets unseen."
"Is it the reaper doing a cleansing." Atlas asked after thinking for a few seconds.
"No." The female succubus shook her head. "The reapers don’t care as long as we don’t do too much damage. They only co after us if they have orders from a deity.
We have been here for centuries and this is the first ti sothing like this is happening.
Not that I care what befalls you but I am just sharing information. Be careful, lover boy."
She tried to kiss him and he shoved her head out of the way roughly. He looked at Scarlet’s pictures and got lost in his own dreams of all the ways he would violate her when he got the chance.
"I have a target, I don’t have ti to listen to idle gossip."
He turned to her, suddenly flipped her over and put her on her knees.
The banshee which was watching figured that she had heard enough.
"Sister will be so pleased with today." she said happily as she hurried over to see Scarlet and share this news with her.
After buying a house in the underworld, engaging in one leaderboard fight and delivering souls, Scarlet t up with soone she had not seen in a long ti, Maddox.
"Maddy, Maddy, look at you."
Until now, it blew her mind that Maddox was female. Every ti she saw her, Scarlet rubbed her eyes to ensure that she saw the sa person.
"No, look at you. You are glowing with happiness." Maddox placed an arm around Scarlet’s shoulders and dragged her off to another place. It was a waterfall, the place where boats that gave underworld tours usually parked.
"Oh, why are we here?" Scarlet asked her.
"I live there." Maddox pointed to a large residence sitting on a mountain, just above the waterfall. I also bought a boat and I give souls one last ride before they go off to wherever they go."
Scarlet frowned. Why were souls getting tours?
"Aah, is it that river of the dead thing? I thought it was ga over when we deliver the souls and they see the lord of death. Is there more?" she asked curiously.
"Mmm, a special assignnt for special reapers." Maddox bragged.
She smiled proudly when she used the word special.
"You are not that special." Scarlet mumbled.
"Jealous much?" Maddox cheekily asked Scarlet.
"Tch, you are such a show off. Why live here anyway? Isn’t it lonely?"
It looked like another village but this one was more beautiful, less crowded and more quiet than others.
Scarlet could hear music being played from a flute perhaps, it was a beautiful sound. It made this isolated village more appealing.
Maddox looked out and explained, "This is the lonely river village. It’s inhabited by reapers who walk the solo path.
It was founded by Nyx. If you continue in that direction, across the river you will find Nyx’s residence. It’s not easy obtaining the right to live here, the lord of death must put in a good word for you."
Maddox pointed to different houses, so that were floating in the clouds.
"That one is owned by a reaper that is apparently sixty thousand years old. And over there, apparently that house is owned by a natural born reaper.
Everyone here is powerful or special in so way and they don’t like company. It’s the best place for , I hate company too."
This sounded like a more prestigious and better village for her. The children would probably be safer here. But, wouldn’t they be lonely?
Still in their childhood days, an isolated place like this would probably be better. The more she thought about it, the more the idea firmly cented itself in her mind.
It was too bad that Esong was human and he could not live here with them. How perfect would it be if he could be here with her and them?
But either way, without or with him, she wanted to live here now.
A very large black butterfly passed by her, fluttering it’s large wings with an incredible strength before disappearing across the river.
Was that Nyx’s soul pet? She wondered. No, he had a hell hound like her. She thought for the first ti ever that the mysterious Nyx might actually have a lot to teach her.
Even the natural born reaper, he would be able to teach and guide her children. This village had many opportunities for her.
She leaned her head down against Maddox’s shoulder and sighed. "Ho, now I am jealous. Can I move in with you?"
