The Blood Duchy
The Blood Lord stands at the edge of his rooms balcony inside of the Castle of Ruin, simply staring out over the edge of the floating island the castle is situated on at the vast ocean of blood beneath the duchy. The duchy itself is made up of hundreds of floating islands, each separated from one another with the only manner of transit between them being through flight, teleportation, or the single drawbridge connecting the major islands. And the Blood Lord has always felt pride over the duchy he has established personally.
But right now, all he can think about is his daughter.
Will she be brought here? Or will she stay with Amy?
No matter how hard the man tried, he couldnt get his mind off of this thought when he was trying to settle a dispute between Nobles. So he left the issue to his advisers instead and ca here.
Not that it helped at all
Leonidas frowns as he leans against the railing and looks out at the blood ocean, his eyes glancing at the occasional blood reaver that surfaces ever so slightly, just revealing the serrated edges that make up the fishs back before it goes under the surface again.
Ever since Alia took Scarlet away to Earth, Leonidas has been burying himself in his work, trying as hard as he could to not think about it. To not think about how his daughter could be in danger at any mont in ti. Or about how Alia had taken things into her own hands and forced the two to follow the prophecy to the letter.
He clenches his fist again, sothing he always does whenever he rembers that day. The day she had immobilized him with that damned reverse healing mythic skill of hers and forcefully taken Scarlet away.
Of course, he would never tell his father about any of this. Because all the man knows is that Leonidas sent his daughter to Earth without telling him why or even how. Not even where she was sent.
Leonidas shivers slightly as he considers what could happen if his father actually knew that Leonidas had no intention of bringing Scarlet to Earth and that it was actually Alia who had done so.
Hed never let or Scarlet see the woman again. Actually, he would probably kill her the mont he senses her ever stepping into Tartarus. Or at least lock her up, if only for Scarlets sake. Assuming she even cares. The only reason he didnt kill her the mont he noticed her on Tartarus was because of after all
The Blood Lord shakes his head at the thought before leaning further over the railing and thinking of the current assault. With Satan and Damien both going on the attack at the sa ti as the Class V Fracture, sothing is going to break in the humans defense. And thatll also make it a lot harder for anyone to keep Scarlet from Lyra.
He frowns as he thinks of the prophecy.
I wonder whats so special about this Class V Fracture that the prophecy stated her solitary can safely be lifted now? Or is it just because shes already learned to be independent by now?
Leon, we have a visitor, Elara suddenly says, her voice interrupting Leonidass thoughts.
Leonidas frowns at his contracted faes words before looking up and finding a tanuki suddenly appearing in the air. But before anything else, he notices the panic clear as day in the faes posture and face.
Whats wrong? he imdiately asks, a small domain of blood appearing around him as he grows restless.
Its Scarlet! Shes been poisoned by an arachne and is unconscious in the middle of the demonic assault with no help anywhere nearby! the tanuki shouts, clearly having lost his composure. Enough to surprise Elara, considering the emotions Leonidas can feel traversing their bond.
A cold glare appears on the Blood Lords face as he hears the fae princes words. One not directed at the fae prince himself, but at the Marchioness who appears to have failed so far in her job.
Leonidas closes his eyes before activating a skill that imdiately connects him directly to the Marchionesss mind, making her send shock and surprise through the bond as soon as it connects. Along with a lot of pain.
Marchioness Sinclair, explain to why my daughter is almost dead, he growls at her, his anger growing by the second as more and more blood begins appearing around him, slowly turning into a small tempest of blood.
His anger is only abated a little bit when he feels her surprise going through the link to him as she exclaims, Shes what?! But she calms down just as quickly, realizing that she had just shouted at her Lord. I apologize Blood Calamity. I will rectify this even if it ans my life is forfeit!
You better, Leonidas growls, sending more than a little of his anger through the link just to make sure she realizes how angry he is. If she cos to any permanent harm, or even so much as gets a hair on her head touched by any of the demons in the Assault after this, both you and the Count will be burned alive from the inside out!
He feels a wave of fear coming through his blood domination skill before she quickly says, Of course, my Lord! I guarantee her- the woman pauses with a shout of pain before groaning -safety!
Leonidas frowns for a mont before using his skill to take control of one of her eyes through the domination seed in her body and imdiately finding that shes struggling to fight the Blue Knight of Humanity.
That bastard again. I shouldve killed him when I had the chance.
Im taking control, Leonidas states before fully activating his mythic skill Blood Domination to take full control of the Marchionesss body, allowing him to use so of his skills with the body as a conduit.
He glances at his daughters fae with his body before telling him, Go back to her. I will use my connection with you to find her.
The fae nods his head and disappears again.
Ti to see if I can deal with him quickly enough to go save her.
His real form grimaces.
If only those damned Gates had enough reality energy for to pass through right now thisll have to do though.
