Chapter 10 - Spiral Minds

On Earth, in the tree like house

In Gemi's room, morning sunlight shines in through his window illuminating the room. As Gemi starts to wake up and stays lying in bed with Capricorn to his right and Uriel to his left side, Gemi `I had no idea she was virgin. ` Capricorns eye lids twitch a bit and she presses onto him which causes Uriel to wake up and she opens her eyes slightly and closes them and she then presses her big boobs on him, Gemi `Well I guess that means she wants more but I was up till 4:00 in the morning so the sun came early for me so goodnight. `

 

Gemi closes his eyes and suddenly Capricorn immediately goes under the blanket and grabs his dick and he jolts up but she pushes him back down. Capricorn "Hey there cutie don't tell me you are tired already yet there is still so much fun to be." As she comes closer to his face seductively and kisses and pulls out her cheeks completely flushed red and her eyes glowing. Uriel joins her and starts kissing his neck "Come on a little more." Gemi `Control. ` as feels an erection coming `Damn it, stand down soldier that is an order, I need sleep. ` he suddenly gets an idea "Wait I have an offer." Capricorn pauses and looks at him "Offer?" Gemi `Damn it she's in a daze I better be quick. ` "An all-sex pass whenever you want wherever you want, you are in charge for a whole year, both of you I mean."

 

Capricorn happy "Yes! Wait what is it going to cost." Gemi "You both have to let me go for today and that's it." Capricorn "Sorrrrry, but I'm a mess right now the reminder has me wanting more now." Uriel "Wait but think about it if we let him go for one day we can do it with him whenever so high reward." Capricorn comes to her senses "You're right. Okay my sweet ever so tasty honey, you have a deal" she bursts out of the blanket and jumps off the bed, Capricorn "Right I have a book club in the afternoon couldn't hurt to check out some libraries till then bye, bye, it hurts me just being away from you." Blows him a kiss and immediately rushes out to the bathroom.

 

Gemi "See you soon." And turns to Uriel who pecks him on the cheek "You better not tell anyone or else I'll be angry with you got it." As she hides her bright red cheeks from him, Gemi "Gotcha it'll be our little secret." Uriel gets up and hides her private areas with fire and exists his room "I'll leave you to get some rest." And she closes his door behind her, Gemi ` finally some rest.

 

4 Hours Later on Earth

Gemi in his bed with sleepless eyes staring blankly into space as a fiery explosion goes off outside one after the other. Gemi sobbing in his bed from his lack of sleep "Why must you torment me so, just let me sleep in peace woman." Gemi hears Uriel swing her sword again and the sound of roaring flames approaching and Uriel desperately call out "Watch out the fire is out of control." Gemi sighs and gets out of bed casually but moving at the speed of light "Good grief." He moves to his window and sees the wave of fire approaching slowly and he moves out of his room to the bathroom and starts taking a shower he finishes and moves back into his room calmly while drying his opens his wardrobe and picks out some clothes and wears them then hops to his window pane of his open window and looks at the slow-moving fire and down at the sweaty scared Uriel still trying to warn him. Gemi ` Loss of mana control is this trauma. Disruption magic. ` he releases a wave of mana that destroys the fire magic and he lands down right next to her and he goes back to moving at normal speed and Uriel gets spooked and ends up falling back on the ground and she looks at him "I'm glad you are okay. I'm sorry I didn't mean to." Gemi approaches her and helps her up off the ground "Are you ok."

 

When Uriel looks up at him she sees one of her dead comrades brutally mangled standing before just as he was in the fight against chaos and dream and she falls back down sweating profusely and breathing heavily and her heart racing, as Gemi looks at her with his glowing eyes and she suddenly attacks him with her sword as if without thinking and he dodges her and immediately jumps sub dues her and she stops attacking him and she looks up at him so close and gets flustered "Gemi, don't you think you are a little too close." Gemi "Stay still." Uriel gasps as he runs one of his hands down her back and holds her hand right by the wrist.

 

Gemi then applies pressure to her those two mana points at once and they lose consciousness Gemi floating in a dark space with floating destroyed modern buildings that are out of their era and black ink like goo oozing from the ground up "Oh, no, where is she?" as he looks around but can only see the pitch-black ruined world in Uriel's mind space. Far away in an upside-down tower stretching into dark thick clouds with no end sight, there is a little girl radiating light like a small red flame, running while holding Uriel's sheathed sword closely in to her chest as hideous creatures of chaos chase her through the halls.

 

As the little girl is running from them, she takes a right turn with it being the only direction to take and arrives at a dead end, in fear "No, no, NO! This can't be it, there was a way through here just yesterday." She hears the beasts hideous creatures coming closer and she turns to face them and her surroundings start to vanish as they draw closer to her and their mouths open revealing the long sharp teeth of one with appearance of a huge wolf but has spikes all over it's back and three lines on it's mouth dividing it and another with no eye but gill like structures on it's neck with a long snake like tail, with big muscular clawed arms lifting it's body and with a line running from the top of its chest to the middle of it's belly that had been closed till now which opened revealing a dark void with teeth and slimy tentacles coming out of it she falls to the ground shaking in fear and she draws out the sword from it's sheath and swings it around trying to scare them away "Stay away. I don't want to die here. Someone please, help me." In one last desperate cry with her eyes closed to afraid to open them when an external light suddenly appears close to her eyes with a feeling of warmth at chest and she opens her eyes to see a golden light thread attached to her chest looking and it then straightens out and the halls reappear.

 

As the two monsters have leapt at her to kill as her attention is taken by the light thread as they almost touch her a rush of light passes through them and their blood splats all over the room and she looks up to see a man glowing brightly like the thread facing away from her and she starts oddly calming down. Uriel `Who is he? ` and Gemi turns to look at the crimson haired child-like version of Uriel and intensely staring at her as he gets closer and she tries getting backing up but is stopped by a wall and he squats down to her and holds by her cheek and gently strokes it with his thumb as she starts turning red "Are you okay your face is turning red. Or did I get here too late and you got hurt." And the little Uriel pushes Gemi back a bit while still avoiding eye "I'm fine, you got here in time… but who are you." Gemi backs up "Sorry where are my manners, my name is Gemi and I'm here to rescue you my fair adorable maiden."

 

Uriel "Stop that." Gemi "What?" Uriel frustrated gets up "Nothing makes sense, all of this doesn't make sense." While gesturing at her sword, herself and then Gemi. Gemi "Could you explain why." Uriel looks at him and sighs "A day ago everything was peaceful my mom brought me and my brother here because it was bring your child to work day and then suddenly this woman out of nowhere starts talking. She said from now on gravity bends to my will, as she walks towards a window with Gemi following her and points outside, and that happened she said there would be no more light and it was so then I started glowing and I had this damn sword what good was it I don't even know how use it and why me and not my brother he was always the fighter." Gemi "Was?" Uriel crying "Him and my mom died protecting me from those monsters I have been running ever since there is no food here but like this I never get tired and I never get hungry to bad it never did anything about my fear."

 

Gemi `maybe I'm too late and her recovery may take long, sister I will make you pay." Uriel wipes her tears and chuckles slightly "You know what doesn't make the most sense I feel like I know you stranger you seem familiar to me." Gemi hugs her "Haha, that is strange." And they here a loud vicious roar coming from above them and Gemi puts her down "Okay we are going up." Uriel surprised "Go towards the roar we heard just now." Gemi nods his head, Uriel "The same roar that made my heart almost relocate." Gemi "Uh, yeah." Uriel "Okay happy travels, see me when you are done." Gemi "I can't beat it alone without some cheer." Looking at her who has an unhappy look "fine but how do we..." a glass elevator sudden appears and opens with Chao's crest on it. Gemi looks at her "come on." Uriel "Oh, no, no, no, no, no."

 

She hears the growling of a lesser monster nearby and sighs "Lead the way." With a fake smile he steps in and the moment Uriel gets in it shuts immediately, looks at Gemi Uriel "you can…" and he suddenly puts his finger on her mouth indicating for her to keep quiet and she hears his voice in her head Gemi "Don't speak out loud from now on think what you say to me, okay." Uriel telepathically "His hot." Gemi's eyes widen "Do you mean me?" Uriel "pfft, nooooo, I meant my brother. God, you are so hot." Gemi sarcastically "Hmmn, your brother." Uriel flustered "Stop, how do I not say crazy stuff because some stuff should stay secret." Gemi "Okay try not looking at me and focus on the current situation it's a communication spell so as long as you focus on the conversation I won't hear your confession."

 

Uriel looks down "No, I can't have that I will look at you while talking to you telepathically." She looks at him Uriel "I'm scared." She springs up happy she did it and jumps a little bit. Gemi looking at "I take it you are no longer scared." Uriel smiling at him "Oh, I think I may wet myself if I see what's on top. You can do magic right." Gemi "Yes, I suppose I go by the title great sage." Uriel "Phew, I'm glad you are here." And the elevator suddenly shoots up very fast through multiple floors till the and stops which surprises Uriel because she didn't feel a thing the light inside keeping them from seeing inside. She takes a step and towards the window and stops upon hearing drops of the thick black ooze and a huge tentacle slides on the side of the glass elevator before disappearing and she falls back due to shock and Gemi catches her "Stay quiet." Uriel "It doesn't know we are here?" Gemi nods and puts her down near the elevator wall and squats down and holds her head he disbelief.

 

Gemi serious "Uriel do you know what that sword is?" Uriel shakes her head implying no, Gemi "well that sword is known as dawn breaker, it's one of the most powerful artifacts in the whole of history it bonds with only the most cable of righteous people the fact you have crimson red hair and have that mana coming off you shows you are strong enough to go outside and face that thing." Uriel looks at him blankly "No, I'm not some great individual that I can go outside and face whatever that is. I'm scared, I'm scared of everything the lesser monsters, the dark, what's in the dark I have never slept in a dark room before, the most thrill I have ever had is swinging on a swing and after I went too high I hyperventilated."

 

Gemi "I know you are scared heck I am scared too." Shows her his shaking hand Uriel "Then why?" Gemi "If I were to go on being scared then how would I ever become better or experience more. Don't doubt yourself you drew that sword once already it means it knows you can do it, I know you can do it…" Uriel shouts telepathically interrupting him "I can't do it ok, I'm too scared. I don't believe that in million years I could ever beat she spoke and my whole world went upside down people died in front of me and all I could do is run. I had the weapon that could possibly kill but I'm too scared to try. They died because I was too afraid try." She looks down tears welling up inside her and all of a sudden she feels Gemi ruffle her hair and sees walking to the other end of elevator "You may not believe but I do believe you are cable of great things." Uriel "Wait, no"

 

Gemi shouts out loud "Bring it on." And a tentacle shoots in and grabs him quickly and pulls him into the darkness, Gemi "Just have some faith in yourself it." Uriel seeing his light go further in and it disappears and she begins pacing `He's fine, he's fine. Right?" she holds the sheathed sword and draws it out looking at the blade and takes a deep breath Uriel ` Have faith, have faith! ??? Have faith? What how do I do that like faith in me. Uh why even bother he's probably dead anyways." Gemi telepathically "No, still living but if you don't move now I really won't be alive, just don't overthink it just do it with the sword." Gemi the screams out loud in agony and Uriel gets up and quickly runs into the darkness at incredible speed and sees Gemi being squeezed by a tentacle and the mana coming off her intensifies and she draws her sword and cuts clean through the four-meter-thick tentacle and Gemi gets free and lands next to Uriel who became a teenager with sword's blade red hot confused and gets even more confused when Gemi doesn't look hurt at all "You are fine. Was the scream to motivate me." Gemi "Well we couldn't wait what do you remember."

Uriel "I remember training with Leo and then the other stuff. Where am I Gemi." Gemi " We are in your mind space and she is someone you don't want inside." They get hit hard by a tentacle out of the building and floating damaged building catches Uriel as Gemi continues falling through the air till he is out of site. An angry woman's voice comes from the building "That's why the brat wasn't dead already." As she comes out the tentacles tear open the building as they grow rapidly and the cut off tentacle grows back and a normal sized woman is revealed as attached to the tentacles with her eyes stitched shut with big threads and her arms appearing to be welded together by skin and muscles Uriel horrified by the scene screams in terror "F**k f**k f**k f**k f**k!" she grabs her sword and the woman turns to her ,the woman's voice broken and distorted "Uriel are you afraid of me?" Uriel's voice cracks out of fear "No, I mean no. I cut off a tentacle what's eight more yeah."

The woman her horrific voice twisted with joy "That's gooooddd I thought you'd be discouraged. You know who he is right, so you alsoooo know mmeee." Her tentacles grow spikes Uriel gulps nervously telepathically "where are you Gemi? I am about to die." All of a sudden she sees one of the spiked tentacles about to hit her and she tries to get away ends up being stabbed through her stomach and another tentacle pulls her off and smashes her into the building Uriel on the ground bloody and bruised gasping for air mutters "Cha-os." In between her gasps for air as her light gets dimmer. Chaos laughing at the scene as her the stitches on her eyes become undone and she opens her eyes showing her deep black eyes. "All this time I thought you had grown but the pathetic coward lives on. For a wise sage my brother sure is dumb to think he thought a weakling like you is worth mercy."

Her arms separate and the human half grows bigger balancing with the tentacles as she stretches once fully grown Uriel gets up one knee with her sword's aid "Chaos, sure am weak but I am definitely not a coward." As her voice gets strong Chaos "Delusional wannabe, have you forgotten the time I spent with you all the monsters chasing you running and crying. I swear and you get up to face me when I just beat you. For someone brave you cry a lot" Uriel gets up on both of her feet "Bravery is determined by someone's lack of fear, her wounds close, as she her body fully grows and she points her sword at Chaos, but my someone's ability to face their fears. You called Gemi a fool for having faith in me., her voice filled with anger, I assure you he is no fool, in fact the only fool I see here is you. YOU HEAR THAT LITTLE LADY, I AM UREIL GOFF THE ARCHANGEL OF JUSTICE AND I WILL COUNT YOU DOWN CHAOOOS."

 

Chaos midair smiling while looking at her and starts waving her finger about "Let's see what about, NO." she points at Uriel with her finger and a red beam shoots out of her finger at light speed at Uriel and she dodges it and runs behind her about to attack and Chaos freezes her in place by tilting her head slightly and turns to face Uriel with a scary happy face and points at her again "Aww did you think the embodiment of chaos would actually follow the laws of reality in the mind space. Oh, well time die that was impressive though not perfect obviously she fires another laser and it is deflected by gold light chain that seems to surround them

Gemi's voice feels the atmosphere and the chains bind Chaos and Gemi appears "You sure did take your time but glad your back let's loosen her hold. Hey sis you always wanted a match where here is one let's see which one of us dominates in the mind space." He launches at her with the chains wrapped around her and she disappears before he hits and two buildings on his sides suddenly crush him as Uriel is in one place trying to process what just happen. As Uriel is still watching Chaos from behind her is about to hit her with her tentacle and suddenly she is wrapped again in Gemi's light chains and she is pulled away from U8riel and thrown into on of the floating buildings making it spin and a bright yellow light drops on the building stopping its spin and greatly damaging the building.

Chaos gets out of her crater angry in her human like form covered in a cloak "Why are you interfering brother." Gemi waves his hand dispersing the dust "Well I would be lying if I said I didn't like what you were doing but I won't let you kill her." Chaos laughs "Oh, is that it. Worried I'll hurt the bird don't worry it will be quick." Gemi suddenly hits her full force into the dark space and red mana like Uriel's light comes out of her and Uriel's light gets brighter "The angel is of limits, so I'll have to ask you to leave."

A long eerie silence falls Gemi and Uriel looking around and all of a sudden Chaos launches at Uriel in her monster form with her spikey tentacles about to pierce Uriel and Gemi pushes her out of the way and gets wrapped her spikey tentacles and yells out in pain Uriel frozen floating in space watching Gemi in pain wrapped in Chaos' tentacle, Chaos in her twisted horrific voice "Looks like I am stronger." Suddenly shields herself suddenly with her tentacles and they are cut into pieces except the one holding Gemi as she looks up sees Uriel with her flaming sword above her and a furious expression on her face and more red mana oozes out of her into Uriel and she gets brighter and Chaos' tentacles grow back instantly and she lands on a building and she secretes a lot of ink out of her tentacles on the building forming a huge black puddle and sharp tree roots shoot out of it at as monsters form on the roots from the liquid and run on it towards Uriel.

 

Chaos frustrated `Why is she getting stronger?' Gemi laughing Chaos looks at him and brings him closer, Chaos "What's so funny?" Gemi laughing "Looks like someone is losing." Chaos angry gets bigger and her tentacles form armor on themselves and she tightens her hold on Gemi making him groan Chaos "I'm going to slaughter that damn bird." Uriel watching takes a sword stance as the roots grow towards her "I won't lose." When the roots almost reach her she charges forward to Chaos as slashes through the roots and monsters when she closes in Chaos hits her sword with her tentacle launching her far away and jumps after

 

As she closes in Uriel's wings come out and she evades Uriel's heavy and tries slashing her tentacle but is unable to pierce the tentacle's armor as Chaos hits her away into a building as she is about to go after her Uriel flies back at her with Gemi's speed to cut with her sword and Chaos counters her with her tentacle and the two start rapidly attacking each other as Uriel takes some damage from the chaos' attacks that make it through her defense." Chaos during the attacks feels Uriel's sword pass through the thick armor on her tentacles and she smiles in a psychotic way as she increases her attack speed completely throwing away defending Uriel's attacks and Uriel cuts into her tentacles as red mana keeps flowing into Uriel and she keeps getting brighter and ends up overpowering Chaos and hits her with the surface of her sword to the black bottom of the space.

Chaos hits the floor and hits a hard surface and let's go of Gemi on impact and she holds her head "Why was it shallow?" she looks up and sees the fiery sky and the buildings all gone and sees Uriel burning bright with flaming wings Chaos confused "How did you…she sees Gemi up in the air laughing and her confusion turns to anger and her body starts surging, YOU, touched me." Chaos enraged gets bigger, Uriel confident "What's getting bigger going to do? You lost I am fully in control." She then puts out her hand facing a silent Chaos and snaps her fingers

Chaos is suddenly close to her and the entire mind space becomes black and filled with dead bodies of her angels lost in battle chained and Uriel shocked trying to get away from her and Gemi hits her away with an arrow with a chain attached to it the arrow goes through Chaos' shoulder and she grabs it and pulls Gemi closer to her and tries grabbing him but he evades her hand swings her into a solid light statue, Gemi laughing "I thought you were tougher big sis." And he's suddenly yacked by Chaos and she hits him down into the deep black liquid and Gemi's light vanishes with distance and becomes too far to see and she turns to look at Uriel who is shaken up and charges at her and she is close to reaching Uriel Gemi's giant fist shoots out of the liquid hitting Chaos as the whole of Gemi comes out and moves above and he instantly becomes normal sized again.

Chaos enraged turns all her attention to Gemi and the corpses break and reform into multiple bone flesh spears and fire at Gemi at an incredible speed and Gemi takes a jumping position, and he jumps at Uriel and grabs her hand as the spears are following him "Fly you fool." Uriel right by Gemi side who is running on the space Uriel clearly distressed "They were after you why couldn't you let me spectate. Now am gonna die." Gemi "Do you really think having a wide base for escaping spears is smart." The spears then start targeting her wings with pinpoint accuracy and her flame wings are destroyed by some spears and she starts running next to Gemi, Uriel "Damn you." Gemi "Get ready it's time to wrap this up." and he spins around and starts running through the storm of 45,000 spears dodging them and he makes it past them.

Then half the spears change course and follow him as he runs towards Chaos who tries escaping him Gemi "You seem to forget in here I am a mage." He teleports right in front of her and golden shining brass knuckles form on his knuckles and punches her in her gut and spears vanish and light cracks form on her and she starts bleeding Gemi "I really wished you left in peace but now you will leave in pieces." Chaos coughing out blood "Then do it end me." Gemi "Then you wouldn't exactly leave now would you." Chaos "What are you on about?"

Gemi "Did you forget about the girl?" Chaos spins around her claws out trying to block Uriel's sword and her red-hot sword cut clean through her and she splits Chaos into two and a void opens instantly below Chaos and her falls through it and it closes. Uriel's mind space then fully restores and Gemi creates a door in space "Peace looks like I have something to do today." Uriel looks at him "You can't stay a little longer?" Gemi "I'm not screwing you in the mind space we will talk when I'm out." He steps out through the door and Gemi wakes holding Uriel in the same position and Uriel starts drooling and he picks her and takes her inside, Gemi carrying her "Guess she is tired?" and Uriel suddenly springs out of his hands her cheeks completely red.

Uriel "Thank you for saving but I'm not tired, so I'll keep training." Gemi "were you not drooling a second ago." Uriel flustered "Just go you said you had something to do right." Gemi laughs out loud and Uriel gets puzzled and flustered at the same time "What's so funny?" Gemi "I'm just thinking how fun it is having you and Capri around."

 

In heaven, the exalted Library, 5:00pm

Gemi walking with a letter `Guess we are joining this war. Ah why did I get attached to so many people. I'm dragging Capricorn into this she joined because of me.'

 

In a flying castle, around the same time Chaos was defeated

Chaos floating her legs crossed and her eyes closed and she suddenly coughs out black blood and an open sword mark engraves itself on her torso and starts bleeding profusely and she falls to the ground face first dead bleeding as Dream is watching her and her body starts getting younger till she appears 10 years old and gets up slowly covered in her blood and she flies up all cheery "So that is death. So cool but weird too guess I need to die one more time to lose the weird feel." Dream "Was Archipello with her never knew he could beat you guess he really is the beast lying in the library." Chaos casually "No, Gemi was there. Little bro Gemi has gotten stronger guess I shouldn't have underestimated him in the beginning." Dream angry "What?" Chaos "I didn't try to let him win I was ready to plunge the heavens into millennia of darkness and confusion where I could end it all." Dream `Why was he with the trojan horse unless they are together since Uriel wasn't moved for a while that's most likely where he is hiding out since Gemi isn't one to step into the royal palace in times like these to see someone he doesn't know.' Dream calm "Where are they?" Chaos casually "Can't say." And Dream grabs her by her collar and pulls her closer in rage "What do you mean can't say" Chaos looks him in the eye "I mean I can't remember, and blinks and shows yellow light cracks in her infinite dark abyss for eyes, He broke me." Dream exhales exhausted and let's go of her "Go clean up you are a mess." Chaos smiles and floats down "Yes, bro." and she childishly marches out humming into the big halls of the castle and Lucifer in his cloak emerges from the corner in front of her and she stands at attention immediately and sticks out her tongue in a silly way.

Chaos "Major bro how was mission." Lucifer smiles at the sight and pats her head "it was a success but judging by your appearance the same can't be said for yours. Are you okay?" Chaos "I am chaos and chaos is me all of us are one in the same with our power. All we need is our elements to replenish and we are back." Lucifer "Are you okay? You haven't answered my question." Chaos still peppy "I am fine though Gemi has a mean punch he hit me too hard. You should have seen it he was so cool I want to fight him again just once more in the mind."

Lucifer "Seems your fine just make sure you don't lose again." Chaos bows "Yes, I won't lose again. Shower!" And she runs past him down the hall and Dream steps out of the room "Can we talk in private." Lucifer continues walking with dream and they are suddenly in a meadow below the flying castle, Lucifer "The operation was a failure no information could be recovered from Chaos correct." Dream "Pretty accurate assessment how did you know?" Lucifer "Chaos doesn't talk about hits that don't hurt. Gemi is going to join our father in arms. It has become clear from Chaos' interaction that we won't leave them if stumble upon them. So better strength in numbers than alone."

Dream "Is there something we can do to undo the worst possible situation." Lucifer reaches into his cloak and pulls out a scroll with a spell that burns away and kneels down on one knee and whispers the spell to a flower and his white mana comes out into the plant and the turns into a purple crystal while maintaining its shape "Find what I desire, show me the path to my goal as magnificent guide in the stars" The crystal flower then starts to break and it dissipates into the starry night sky and a path of purple stars is formed, Dream "The fate's magic?"

Gemi at the restaurant just leaving takes a deep breath "I hope am making the right choice here." He looks at the stars above him and notices purple stars and immediately starts running back to Earth and a magic circle appears around his ear, Gemi "Capricorn can you hear me?" Capricorn over the magic circle "Gemi I'm here I just wrapped up the book club is something wrong?" Gemi "Someone knows where we have been living and Uriel is still down there. Meet me there as soon as possible."

Capricorn "Of course." The magic circle disappears and flies through the portal to Earth straight to his house and lands quietly and approaches the house and he opens the door and sees Uriel sleeping and pauses in his tracks "Ok you can come out oh brothers of mine." Lucifer "Little brother nice to see you too, I see your senses are sharp." Dream appears next to Uriel "You know why we are here." Gemi "I thought I you wouldn't come after me as long as I stayed neutral." Lucifer smiles "Buying time for her reach I admit this is her element." Dream "Let me inside your head or she dies."

Gemi "You wouldn't yet she could be so useful alive." Dream looks at him displeased and puts his hand over and she starts screaming in pain "she dies in three, two…." Gemi interrupts him "Fine I'll let you inside my head but leave alone she doesn't die tonight, deal." Dream looking at him with his piercing eyes and directs his hand at Gemi "Deal." Golden sand mana shoots out of his onto Gemi and enters him as he struggles to breathe and he falls to his knees and the sand disappears and he eyes seeming to be holding a sand storm in them and Gemi's body blinks and his eyes now plainly glow yellow and his body stands up Dream "Phew, that's done." Suddenly the floor grows spikes targeting Dream and stop immediately Lucifer puts his sword to Gemi's neck.

Lucifer "Warden of the wither wood, the wise sage's apprentice, let dream go unharmed though if kill him I can kill your beloved so a fair trade." A flower sprouts out of the ground and Capricorn is heard through it "Or I submit to Dream's control I'd rather die." Lucifer "I'm offering you to join us, I will give full rights over Gemi he will stay by your or do you want him to wake up when it's all done to nothing but the corpses of men women and children or will you be there to hold like he held you."

Capricorn over the flower "Both of us dying here could be seen as that." Lucifer "It could but let us be honest you can't let him die can you. What is your answer?" The spikes around Dream retract back into the floorboards as well as the flower and the door opens up revealing Capricorn whose head is held down "I'll join your army so honor both your words to him and me."

Lucifer "I will ensure we follow our word but otherwise on the battlefield." Capricorn interrupts "He follows your orders I figured as much and I will also be fighting in this war correct, so as not to derive suspicion." Lucifer "Correct though for your sake we both know that information like that can make him vulnerable especially if the others find out how long do you think it would take for them to cease the opportunity."

Capricorn falls silent and dream teleports with all of them to the flying castle leaving behind Uriel. In the tower walking behind Dream to a wooden door. Dream "Welcome to your new home." Capricorn looking at Gemi "What are you doing to him?" Dream "He is simply dreaming when this war is over and we have the power to create our own realms you two can run off into your own realm and live happily ever after, Capricorn looks at him with lifeless eyes, Here your quarters the castle is by my design so like how in a forest you are almighty in here I'm the almighty one, so here is your quarters I will respect your privacy somewhat and that's it."

 Capricorn "Gee thanks." The door opens up a bit and a regular sized rabbit with a feather duster comes out bows and shuts the door before hopping away and Dream waves his and a white mask appears in his hand and he hands it to Capricorn, Dream "Cover up his face., looks at Capricorn's face and makes another one, for if you can't act when the time comes."

Capricorn grabs it out of his hand "I wonder if you give this much attention to all your new soldiers." Dream looking down at her smiles "Then I guess this is where our paths pass for the night. Do try to get some sleep don't just play with him all night long." As he is walking away from them and then just disappears.

Capricorn exhales and takes Gemi's hand and walks into the room holding the masks in her other hand once Gemi is inside let's go of his hand and shuts the door. Capricorn then turns to look at Gemi's emotionless face and few tears start to rundown her cheek as approaches him slowly and holds face with one hand hoping for a reaction.

Capricorn "You saved me and taught me when no one else would. I promised you I would when the war started to end you if you were captured and we couldn't do anything but I just can't do it." She stands on the tip of her toes and put her arms around his neck and holds the hair coving his neck revealing a magic circle with Capricorn's crest and she touches it lightly only for it disappear. She then let's go of him and wipes her tears, Capricorn "Don't worry I'll make you this stupid war ends quickly so you won't have to be under his control anymore., takes Gemi's hand and holds it tight, I will never leave your side after that we will talk for hours underneath the stars but only of your dream."

Capricorn gazes into Gemi's bright glowing eyes and her eyes narrow `I don't know what he is going through but I really don't think it's good.' Instructs him "Lie down on the bed to your right., and Gemi's body listens and obeys she then puts Gemi's mask next to his bed and walks to the door, Stay put I'll be back soon okay." She shuts the door and locks it and walks down the hall holding her mask with her head lowered and Minai a man who looks identical to Gemi but having white hair and red eyes approaches her and stops her, Minai casually "What with the long face honey? Are you still angry about what I did during my time as your mentor. I'm sorry."

Capricorn looks him in the eye her eyes void of emotion "Is that all. if it is then please excuse." About to go away when Minai grabs her hand angry "Did I say you could go?" Capricorn suddenly gets hand out of his and kicks him in chest so hard that he falls down to the ground gasping for air, Capricorn's showing her anger "I have been brought here worm because of your incompetence we are not same, so don't ever touch pedophile or else there will be no more moons." And she walks away and the projection pauses and fast forwards to Capricorn in a mask her green hair long on the battlefield standing in a field of corpses covered in blood.

Capricorn narrating "They used us as leverage in the power many fell by my hand and Dream's, Gemi didn't fight as himself so I'm the guilty one you can blame me." Uriel shocked by the information steps back a bit "Why didn't you resist Gemi?" Capricorn about to step in and Gemi stops her, Gemi "Because I couldn't remember anything, the projection changes to Gemi's memories and shows a group with people like Archipello, Uriel, Roxxie and Capricorn with him in the center smiling, Dream rest me I was in a different world with different people adventuring and losing them, the projection fast forwards to Gemi brutally injured crying while surrounded by the lifeless character, I repeated loss after loss after loss, as the projection shows the different times he lost his group, I tried never meeting them but that didn't work till my magic awakened and the creator set me free during the sentencing."

Uriel " You burnt him on purpose." Gemi "I saw what Capricorn went through and I didn't want to let her go alone so I gave him a reason to banish me. We talked about it." Timera crying "That's so beautiful and sad." Uriel bows "I am sorry for suspecting the worst of you two I should have held out hope like Roxxie did for you both."

Gemi curious "it's fine you are forgiven also how strong did Roxxie get." Uriel raises her head "She raised up to archangel by the time she got to be 16 years old, and she is the greatest marksman in heaven right now and Timera's teacher." Another mana wave surges Gemi looks up "Timera we will talk more after this, but a battle is coming and quiet frankly we need some more help go up and break the seal on heaven." Timera right "Her eyes glow." and she vanishes in between time Uriel "Smart sending her away if your brother managed to get to her that would have really fucked us." Gemi "So I guess my tuition about her not fairing well in close combat was right huh."
