Lost...in the woods

The Baroness let out a sharp cry as she felt the Keropin land upon her chest, cringing and gritting her white teeth as the slimy creature loomed over her. "You know nothing Wraith, you only assume that he has done these things... is this what you'll present? To justify bringing my people to your ranks? Sure there is a greater threat coming before us, you'll ready to have them be slaughtered for your cause. He was noble...do not blame him for what I have decided for him in his absence. Do not assume you knew him; he died for us..." She then turned to the frog, snarling. "Tha-that is not even remotely true! You are putting favourable words in your mouth Seras! The same for you! You cannot say what that demon was, having never met him yourself!" She thrashed her body, then swung the bag she had been carrying against Sera's head with her right arm. "Now let me go, so I may reclaim what was ours, before it becomes nothing but theirs. If you wish to dissident yourselves, so be it Keropins, you have the right to chose!" she exclaimed.

"No. Once again, you color Everin'sssss contribution with your grandiossssse fantasssssy, and underssssstand very little of what actually happened. You deny that your hussssband ssssssevered the ssssssundered demonsssss he took charge of from their primary food sssssourccccce, and by your own admisssssssion the only reasssssson he did ssssssso was that he lossssssst hissssss brother to the mortalsssss. You alsssssso made no effort to contact and each usssss, desssssspite knowing of ussssss beforehand." The wrath shook it's head. "You mussssst conssssssider the Empresssssss to be equally assssss foolisssssh as yoursssssself.... Sending Keropins? Against the Void Dragon? Madness.... We do not desssssstroy our own kind. Unlike you.... Namelesss one who valuesssss nothing but her own sssskin."

"Skin which we'll taste, and chew on" Seras interrupted. To emphasize the point, Seras blocked the bag that the Baroness threw at her, then shot her long sticky tongue out and swiped it across her prey's face, like a wet sticky slap.

"How you know we never met Everin? Make assumptions much boss? You think you the only lower demon Everin ever see or talk to? And ours? you mean yours right? back to chains and digging and building for nothing? That what you want of us? Or maybe you kill us all like other renegades? We not free... and you no care. We make you care. We Keropin are not only demons not happy with your stewardship."

Seras took another swipe with her tongue and grinned. "We just lucky to be first to find you."

"Everin...must have had his reasons. Reasons he kept from me. But surely, there is more to it then collecting the scattered fragments of 'the family'. You have your secrets and lies as much as I have of my own." She says to the Wraith. "Your Empress... will be just as willing to sacrifice you, to further her needs, without a forethought of sending you to oblivion." She turned to the Keropins and frowned. "I came forward, to defend you, as there are mortals destroying us. You forget how weak we are, and by simply devouring the humans like the plague will not give us the strength we had centuries ago! Shall I send an army to rise against the human masses? Masses which outnumber our own in our pocket of Hell? To do so would bring more against us. I have been seeking out the one who intends to destroy us all, and kill him before he has the chance! To be an inspiration after years of inactivity. We don't need their help. They, just the same didn't bother to send help or a search party themselves. This isn't their search party Bitches. This is their War party. So tell me I'm not Boss Bitch, tell me-ACK!" she exclaimed, feeling the tongue smack her face, her arm forced away like nothing.

Despite it all, she was still, as perhaps what her demons thought of her before hand, human. She felt the tongue smack her again, the sticky tongue coating her face with the webbing mucus like saliva. She coughed and gagged at this, her breasts jiggling as she brought up her arms, letting go of her bag to defend herself. "Chew my flesh?! How quickly would you turn on one of your clan should they turn mortal?" She asked the frog, reaching out for the bag with her right hand, as the dagger was surely somewhere inside it, while her left hand reached out, pawing at the tongue.

The wraith, again, answered first. "We did sssssssend out sssssscoutssssss and ressssssscue teamssssss. However, assssss you can imagine, all exxxxxxisssssstencccccce is a fairly large pieccccccce of geography to sssssssearch, and without the beaconssssss, locating individual sssssshardsssssss take an exxxxxtraordinary amount of time. The Wraith waived off parts of the rebuttal. "We sssssstill have teamssssss out there.... ssssearching. We conquer dimenssssssions to recover the sssshardsa and our sssssundered kin that they houssssse. You were lucky we found you all though.... Without the beacon, it would have been a sssshot in the dark assssss to which dimenssssion you were in from our perssssspective."

The Seras moved her face nose to nose with the Baroness at her accusation "How many demons under your rule did you kill? How many for right reasons? You kill us for having freedom of thought. Same reason The One Above All expell our ancestors, the Fallen from High Heavens. Same supposed sin. You're a hypocrite. Maybe you never was a demon." Seras then showed her tiny sharp teeth again, and sat back upright.

And then with a powerful water spell, she expelled a torrent of water from her mouth at the Baroness's face, drenching the mortalized demon queen. "Wet you up a little, Make you easy to swallow down."

The Baroness was very agitated at this point, and about to continue her fight with the wraith when she had a face full of Seras. She looked at the woman, blinking. "What? Under our rule I've killed only those of us long gone from madness, who have become primitive and sought absolute chaos to both us Demons and Humans. I forget, you embrace the chaos. I've read most of Hell doesn't even appreciate you Keropins, you're a devolved menace, a band of delinquents, you'll nev-Uggg!" She was suddenly sprayed with an intense shower of water, her body twitching as the water splashed across her face, went down her nose, throat. It drifted down her neck, dampened her top and made her skin have a wet, glossy sheen once she was finished.

The Baroness coughed, and gagged, spitting up water. "B-best do it...while you can and while its hot then Seras... because as soon as I get back up....human or no, I will kill you."

Seras smiled again, and flicked the Baroness' nose. "Madness you wrought in them, by denying them their nature. We not your slaves or robots, we were subjects. You should have treated all of us as such. Instead you nameless whore flaunted Everin's favor. Now you reap what you sow you big titted sow!"

The Keropin's rage returned. "No, nameless. you never get chance to be boss again. not even if you recovered your Everin infused powers. We know there are bigger bosses now, worthy bosses who not treat us poorly."

With that said, Seras' tongue lashed out again, but this time, it looped around the Baroness's slender neck, and stuck. The large Keropin stepped off the baroness's shoulders and yanked her into the air by the makeshift noose of pink sticky flesh.

The Baroness gasped, feeling the sticky tongue wrap around her slender neck, the sticky webbed slime sticking from her silky flesh to the squishy, gum like tongue with a choking grip, and as Seras leaped back, and then tossed her head back, she carried the Baroness upward! She held onto the sticky tongue, suspended in the air for a moment, her body angled in a manner where her large garnet eyes looked down into the wide, open maw of the confident looking frog-demoness below:



The dark, rounded chasm before her looked like it would be tight... "Choke on my tits you slimy cunt!" She gagged.

Seras smiled "'Oke' 'o' your 'its? 'Ot 'ilely 'oss oo's (Choke on your tits? not likely boss boobs!)" replied the Keropin in much harsher broken english, before she drove the Baroness into the ground repeatedly to stun her, before reeling in her tongue, dragging the mortalised noble Demon into her maw head first.

With a wet splat, Sera's lips immediately engulfed the Baroness head, forming a collar round her neck with those stretchy lips and tiny barbs of sharp teeth. Sera's slimy webbed hands grasped the Baroness' shoulders and tits with random abandon.

The other Keropin again seemed to sing out a chorus of croaks and ribbets.

The Baroness closed her eyes tightly, frowning slightly. "...Drat." She was then slammed down into the ground with an 'Oof!' several times, the Noble's hands grasping the tongue tightly before becoming limp and falling away, trailing webbed slime between her finger tips. "Ughh..." she moaned in a light, sad tone before being dragged upward. With half opened eyes she watched listlessly and helplessly as her damp face and head entered the maw:



Outside a chorus of frog ribbits sang in delight of their tyrant's soon to be demise, her body stunned and unable to retaliate as Seras grabbed onto her shoulders, her prominent bosom which bounced and hung below Seras's chin; plump and thick like much of the Baroness' five foot ten body. Crimson hair still ran down her back, as the frog-girl munched and sucked onto her humanized former Queen.

Inside, the Baroness looked down the throat ahead of her, rippling flesh of her jaws all around her. She was unsure how she'd fit going down... but it wouldn't stop Seras from finding a way...

The large, and athletic Seras quickly lifted the Baroness high above her head and swallowed, moving the baroness's ample bust and shoulders in through her lips, making the indentation in Seras' neck blatantly obvious through her stretching rubbery skin. Partly translucent when stretched this much, the Baroness could see faint rays of light through the flesh and skin of the Keropin chieftain.

Quickly moving her lips down in two gulps, Seras' lips and teeth encircled around the baroness' waist now.

"Ughhhhaaa-aah-ick...!" she exhaled, in low, pained squeals of pain as she felt her body going vertical for a moment, the chieftain's jaws distending, her large, meaty breasts slipping across her lower jaw, squished tightly against Baroness's chest, making her exhale sharply: "Hah!" she sounded high pitched, and weak, feeling the small teeth grind against her back, through the fabric of the silky dress, her cleavage filling with thick, mucus from the Keropin's maw. With an audible swallow, the Baroness exhaled again, her fingers curling around the corners of Sera's mouth to try and halt her descent, but the throat, Seras' slimy body and gravity worked against her. "Wahh!" She exclaimed, her voice muffled but audible as she was forced through the dark tunnel, her shoulders slipping down with her head, her large breasts filling the space of the tunnel in a way most uncomfortable to the Baroness, as her damp hair now draped ahead of her grimacing face.

"I...can't...breathe!" she exclaimed voice squeaky and strained, her eyelids fluttering and her crimson eyes glowing in the low light. Her breasts flattened against her in this manner made it very uncomfortable to breath the warm and already foul pond scum scented air. Around her a tunnel of rippling deep red flesh, with exception of the flesh where her bulbous breasts spread out; the flesh there was a yellowish-orange, and it was somewhat see through. She could make out, the dancing Keropins and the Wraith through the translucent flesh. She frowned, and now stuck in the throat, began to thrash her shoulders and whine about the cramped conditions!

Outside, the larger orbs of the Baroness' tits moved left to right in slow, fluid movements. They were pressed so tightly, they could make out the buttons of her corset, and where the nipples behind her clothes bevelled the Keropin's flesh. It was like Seras had a second set of breasts, just above her own, pushing out the neck with the Baroness' thick body. Her muffled cries and moans continued, as her hips now lifted up, her thick thighs kicking, mud flinging off her boots as her dress pedalled with her knees and thighs. Since her elbows had been swallowed up, all her fingers could do was grab at the lower corners of the sticky maw, clinging on tightly. The more she struggled, the more mucus stretched from her clothes and Seras' gooey drooly mouth; her red dress once bright becoming darker due to the dampness of the saliva and water, flapping with her legs, showing glimpses of the black underwear she wore underneath.

"Uahhah...uahhhh...uahhhh..." moaned the humanized Demon Queen, who's knees curled and extended as she thrashed her sexy, thighs and large ass. The Baroness was a big girl, and ironically, struggled like a cow ready for slaughter.

Seras took two more quick gulps, enveloping her lips around the undersides of the Baroness' hips and butt now, sending the mortalised woman further into her fleshy tomb.

The struggling, writhing lumps embossed against the Chief's skin was clearly visible to the Keropin group, and the Wraith, and in the case of the armored warrior spirit, he could see the growing fear in the Baroness' eyes.

Seras then wrapped her tongue around the Baroness's groin, up under her butt, then around her right leg, and used it as leverage to pull the large woman in. Unlike Korax's lewd useage of the same technique, Seras wasn't interested in any sort of perverse gratification from the Baroness. no no, this was punishment.

With another swallow, Seras stood upright, and dragged her lips down to mid thighs on the Baroness's legs, this Keropin was wasting no time at all now.

"Uahh...hmp-hmp-hmp!" She exclaimed, struggling to keep the frogger from swallowing more of her plump body, but it was unavoidable, and her hips were munched by the sharp tiny teeth, biting into her thighs and buttocks. She wiggled and moved inside the tunnel of flesh, her glowing eyes able to pick up the bend ahead of her as she felt more of her body squeezed through. "I...was your....Queen..." she mumbled, frowning as she felt her body quiver. She was trying her best to accept her fate like any monarch would, but it was, admittedly... hard not to imagine the oblivion which lay in wait for her. She closed her eyes tightly, no tears came however.

Shllp!

The Baroness' eyes shot wide open as she felt Seras' tongue wrap under her crotch, wrappong around her right butt cheek and curl around her right thigh. "Uah!!" she whined, pumping her knees even as the frog woman drew her further down the gullet...

Outside, it was slowish pace, but the Keropin managed to swallow the meaty butt standing upright again to have gravity help with what was to come. Inside, Baroness wiggled and whined again, her head brushing against something hard as she winced at the pressure and claustrophobic position she was in. Her body bulging its plump appearance before them, her face somewhat visible as well as the color of her clothes through the translucent skin.

She kicked her booted feet hard, as the bitch dragged her lips down to mid thighs, the tall Baroness almost gone now. Her dress peeled back, showing off her lovely calves, her fair skin smooth and silky in appearance. Her body bounced inside the womanly frog, making strained muffled complaints as she struggled from being swallowed whole!:

"Uah-HMP-HMP-HMP-HMP-HMP!!"

Seras held the Baroness there, if only for a moment to let her pod of Keropin witness their former queen being eaten by the chieftain that they chose. The chorus of frog songs played out like some primitive tribal ritual. At that point, Seras opened her mouth wide one more time, and swallowed several times rapidly. drawing in the Baroness's knees, shins and feet in mere moments. *Gluck!* the wet sounding swallow was the last of the Baroness, as her legs were forced down, and making the woman coil visibly inside the belly into a fetal position. Her darkened red dress, and her glowing red hair visible from the outside along her white skin.

The frog song reached a crescendo as they could see a murky yellow liquid begin to lap at the Baroness's lower extremities first, like the belly of Seras was slowly being filled with beer or amber wine.

"All over soon Boss lady..." Seras said as she rubbed the Baroness's body through her distended belly.

The Baroness' heeled boots fluttered as she was suspended vertically, even as they sank they pedalled and kicked, with each swallow came a strained complaint from the Baroness within!:

"-HMP-HMP-HMP-HMP-HMP!!!"

Inside: "-HIT-HIT-HIT-HIT-HIT!" She grunted, her body shaking up and down as she was forced further, her head slipping through something, beginning to enter another chamber! She closed her eyes, saliva, water and sweat caking her face, feeling it engulfed by the sphincter! "Uaaaaaaah!" she screamed, unable to contain her fear any longer.

Her feet and legs pedalled till they were forced together, leather heels clicking poised from the dark tunnel's entrance before the Keropin Chieftain Seras swallowed:

*Gluck!*

The Baroness' struggled cries went:

""-HMP-HMP-HMP-HMMMMMMMMPH!!!-*Slosh*" Her muffled whines vanishing as her thick body was forced down, dragging across the Keropin's flesh, before finally slipping fully into the distending, stretchy chamber of Seras' belly. *Grooo* The large sack groaned as the Baroness' weight adding to it caused it not only to bulge out and distend, but to sag heavily with her plump weight.

Inside, the Baroness was cut off from her cries as she was swallowed whole as mucus spread across her face; her body slipping into the stretchy chamber, forced into a tight fetal position inside. "Hah!" She gasped, forced into a tight coil, with her knees forced against her chest, her boot's heels forcing into her lower butt. The belly was yellowish, like on the way down, and a lot of light shined through the seemingly thin rubbery flesh. Her crimson hair and dress splashed up acids within as the living, moist walls curled around her in a freakish manner. "Uah..." she moaned, wiggling, causing the belly to move outside, and jiggle with her weight. The stench was absolutely dreadful, and she curled her nose at the fetid air. Her hair, damp with saliva and mucus, clung to her back and her fair skinned face; her glowing red eyes turning every which way, taking in her new environment. She winced, pushing out her arms, and trying to kick out her legs from the cramped, packed condition she was in. The humid air made her skin feel even more gross, despite the glaze of thick mucus and saliva caked on her already.

"Seras...you bitc-ACK!" she cried, wide eyed as she felt the frog slap the belly, and in turn, her, being rubbed by the Frogett's webbed hand outside. "All over...soon?" she blinked, as her body was jiggled and groped through the stomach walls. She looked down, feeling something thick, and yellow rise! "AH!!" She screamed, kicking and splashing up the stomach acids as they rose. "Damn you Seras!! I curse you a thousand times to oblivion-you-f-fat slime ball bitch!!" she shrieked, trying to pedal away, but it was no use, the acids splashing up and around her knees, the amber wine coloured liquid rising part way up her calves!

All that Seras and the other Kerotan heard were the muffled grumbles of the Baroness. The protesting wriggling was met with giggles and ribbets of the frog demons cruelty. Soon, Seras readjusted the Baroness's additional weight and squatted low, before launching into a leap, and led her pack back to their pond.

Once they hit the water, the frogs resumed their playful activity, wrestling around, or leapfrogging onto their water lilies, while Seras floated on the surface of the deeper water surrounded by a dozen of the tribes adults. Relaxing in the cool when, Seras' eyes started to drift closed as her body began to kick into digestive high gear.

Once the Baroness's eyes were submerged beneath the inky sulfuric stomach acids, blackness would claim her consciousness soon after...

---

"I see that despite my warnings, you still managed to screw up and fail." came the voice of the Empress herself from somewhere in the blackness of unconsciousness.

The stomach fluids continued to rise, giving rise to more intense struggles from the Baroness. Her wide eyes stared down at the rising fluid, her fingers clawing at the walls desperately, only sliding off them helplessly. Besides her panicking whimpers, she could hear the others laughing and playing childishly outside her fleshy prison. She screamed as she felt her body being adjusted by the freakish demoness, and rising with her as she leaped back to her pond, perhaps leaving her bag of useful gear and possessions, along with that case, behind.

"Damn it, why.... why did it come to this?!" she cried out, but only got gurgled replies of the stomach groaning, filling with more of the piss yellow fluid. She grimaced, it was already pooled around her breasts now. The warm, frothy fluid was tingly and reeked to high heaven. She wrinkled her nose, cringing as her breasts floated in the acidic bathwater, before being covered as well. She shook her head in defiance, her hair floating in the murk, her teeth bared in a fearful frown. "I swear... I will curse you Seras! You'll di-ggglllllll!" her eyes rolled back as the fluid reached her lips, her mortal body twitching vigorously. She felt tears of pain slip down her cheeks, her muffled gurgled cries dying out as she felt the fluid rise past her nose, just under her eyes. She closed her long lashes, a few final tears slipped into the acid before they too were swallowed up.

She kept her eyes closed, but it didn't avoid the stinging sensation she received. Little air remained, and she choked, bubbles rising from her plush lips; her body's vigorous movements becoming less so...

GURGLE

The Baroness, confused, slowly opened her eyes, only to find herself in some sort of...void. She remembered that voice, that annoying pitch. She knew it was the Empress, the 'true one'. "I see you turned out exactly as I had expected you to be," she retorted. "So I assume you are here to torture me further as I digest in that walking vagina's belly? Rub more salt to my wounds?" she asked, scowling.

"Are you going to stand there, after death, and bluster at me about how right you were?" the Empress replied, before the sound of clicking fingers heralded something.... nobody would have expected. The void began to light up with stars like a night sky. Thousands of individual pinpricks of light, broken by bands of multi colored hues against the blackness of space.

Then, she appeared, the Empress herself, floating in space, with no less than six towering individuals. "I told you before, I am not here to wage war with you. I don't need to. I have to clean up the mess you and Everin made of this particular shard... Another few centuries more and even you would be weaker than you are now as a mortal. But in your pride, arrogance and blindness, you somehow managed to forget the one thing demons need to survive. Life energy."

The Empress turned away from the Baroness and gazed down, below them all, at the planet Galivan. "You and other nobles managed to avoid the worst effects by canibalising lesser bretheren... The irony is that this alone makes you far more barbaric and primitive than those you accuse of rogue like mindless behaviour. It sounds like you valued the lives of the mortals over your own kind... Another explanation is that the madness you accused them of could have been induced by a hunger you would not allow them to slake, and they became mad and insane as a survival mechanism. You didn't give them a chance or choice to be anything else. choosing instead to allow this degeneration to slowly consume your people right out from under themselves." The Empress then looked back at the baroness.

"These six who accompanied me here are those among Hell's ranks who share your rank of Baron. They all have names, titles and deeds to honor them. What have you done for your people that would convince me to give you another chance, nevermind restore your rank and mission? Why do you, a nameless demon plucked from the pits of a shard, deserve to be elevated to the rank of a barony? A title Everin never had the power or position to give you in the first place?

You didn't give them a chance or choice to be anything else. choosing instead to allow this degeneration to slowly consume your people right out from under themselves." The Empress then looked back at the baroness.

"These six who accompanied me here are those among Hell's ranks who share your rank of Baron. They all have names, titles and deeds to honor them. What have you done for your people that would convince me to give you another chance, nevermind restore your rank and mission? Why do you, a nameless demon plucked from the pits of a shard, deserve to be elevated to the rank of a barony? A title Everin never had the power or position to give you in the first place?

She remained quiet as the Empress spoke to her, flinching at her nameless situation. She only stared from the Empress to the three flanking her at each side, a total of six 'Barons'.

The Empress turned her gaze back down on Galiavan. "I want to give you another chance. I want you to be with us. I do not like punishing my children... I derive no pleasure from this. But you must earn your name, and your rank, no different from the others. And you have had the opportunities few can claim. Look at the mortals below."

The Empress showed the Baroness visions of the surface. "They are weak, short lived, selfish, and quite deplorable indeed. Everything Everin hated about them is true. However, it's what you do not see that makes them more than whet he believed them to be. You see it too, don't you? The random acts of kindness. The courage to face any foe, no matter the predicted outcome. The will to survive, even thrive where they should have fallen. To underestimate the power of the mortal spirit has brought undone many ambitious demon lords and ladies. This mysterious power manifests occasionally in mortal people. The one you fear, Leland McKelly, is such a person indeed. My son, Edward, is half mortal, yet also exhibits these traits, combined with a significant portion of my own power..."

"You underestimated their resolve once, and so have I. Unlike myself however, you do not have the forces to spare on recouping losses or waging war, That is why you have couped your people in the shard and tried to keep them safe. I understand why you did it, but your people have starved because of your actions. Was that deliberate? Or was it a mistake?" The Empress looked questioningly at the Baroness.

She closed her eyes. "I felt a need to shelter my wayward kin, however...actions brought out from a mortal war not too long ago made us weaker, and in fact also marked when Everin was lost to us. Mercilessly we were hunted down, believed to be in allegiance with the Demon known as Reguis Malfront. I ordered all to return and I've locked the Demon Realm since, allowing only small parties out into the human Realm." She paused, looking down. "Still, I cannot let the full bulk of the demons head out. Our...dimension has been strange since Everin's departure as well. The mortal souls of the dead, of evil spirit... they do not appear. It is as if they are being collected elsewhere." she admitted. "That... is all I hide from you, 'Empress'." she then looks up, tears dripping down her fiery red eyes, her lips peeled back into a snarl. "However, I will not serve you! You want me to earn a name from you? I'd rather return to oblivion where I remain 'blank'. Strip me of my title? Go on ahead. I am nothing, and have nothing but what I wear and what is left of my bodily form." She took a step forward, looking up at her, pointing at her defiantly. "At least in my 'death' I am free. What you have to offer, is indentured service to an entity who only happened across us by chance!"

One of the massive creatures stepped up beside the Empress. "We do not serve. We rule in her stead. That is our role, our very purpose, little Baroness!"

With a brandish of energy, the demon showed it's gifts of runes upon it's forearm to the Baroness.



"All of these marks, and the powers they bestow, I earned through my stewardship, my warrior skills, and my cunning. You are being foolish for no other reason than pride now And you are willing to let your people suffer even more by throwing it all away when they need you. Where is your courage then? What does the faith Everin placed in you mean when all you wish to do is return to the dirt and be nobody?

The Empress waived the Baron off, and the lumbering titan stepped back.

"We have all fought for so long... it becomes difficult for some of us to remember why we even fight anymore. But I can never forget. We were cast from the High Heavens for having the will to think differently."

"We have all fought for so long... it becomes difficult for some of us to remember why we even fight anymore. But I can never forget. We were cast from the High Heavens for having the will to think differently."

She looked at the terrifying creature evenly. "I will not wave the banner of someone whom I do not recognize. The demons I represent... are far different from what ever your kind has evolved into. And to what will it mean for me to return to the void? The last of my flock told me straight, even if she was a simple Keropin: 'I am no better than a human'." she says this before pointing at the titan. "Does that sound like I am wanted? That my people need me? No... they chose whom to follow. 'Her' and 'Her' code. The noble families and creatures who still remain loyal to me? Well... I know you've been sending wraiths to recruit them as well; but like me, if they get in your way... you'll destroy them. You may not enjoy it, but you will. And you have." she says, turning to the Empress in the last bit.

"I will not have any part of your war against the void beast. I am loyal to Everin... even if he is no more. He saw...something which I am not aware about and pulled me from my nameless status to that of Baroness. Perhaps he saw there needed to be a change in how we think in the Demon Realm, the shard of Hell you cast aside till it suited you. You've had others here before, yet then you did nothing. I'm not stupid, I may be difficult and foolish to you 'wiser, ancient evils'. Perhaps you've lived in your own self pity that you haven't realized you can make choices for yourselves..." she says before folding her arms. "I've made my choice. I will not fight for you. I will not accept your gifts. If you are going to kill me, remove me from your path...so be it. I am ready to face the nothingness with courage. I've realized after my many years, I do not need a name to know if I am worthy of my existence or of my rank. My power comes from the faith Everin has placed in me. I've done what I could for my people, and they have cast me out for my way of thinking. Similar to a certain Empress, no?" she says before adding: "Everin's line is the true descendant to rule Hell, descending from 'him', but not you false Queen. I have made my oath to follow Everin to Oblivion if I must. A part of me still believes a fragment of him survives across the dimensions. With the collective knowledge of every other time he's failed, my Everin has become wiser. If he does return, he will be the true Heir once again. Till today, I've held his seat for him, protected it and spoke what I've believed in." She closed her eyes.

"I believed that I would one day see him. He was to be the one who present me a name. I will not accept such from any other, aside from my rank of Baroness." she says reopening her crimson eyes and looking up at the Fallen.

"You are mistaken about many of your assumptions, Nameless, but now, our time is over. If you wish to die, then that is your choice. Everin's faith remains displaced. That said..." the Empress cast her power over the Baroness, who was enveloped in bright golden light.

"If you are to die, die with your complete power intact. Never let it be said I let you perish as a mortal."

With those words, the Empress turned her back on the Baroness, and departed, fading away like a mirage. The 6 Barons lingered, looking at their lost kin with great disappointment in their monsterous eyes, before slowly fading as well. That left only the Keropin.

"Boss Lady restore you, give you chance to fight for your life. Lessee if you got what it takes big boobs Baroness!"

From the inky void, the tall... bleeding gunman stepped forth like a mirage, confused by his elements and the creatures looming within them. "What the....?" He turned to the woman with the red hair again, and then over to the Keropin. "How did I...? Did I die?" He asked himself, unsure if they could even see him. He turned to the red haired woman and went to grab her shoulder. "Hey, you can see me, can't you?" He asked, concerned with his circumstances.
