Synthia along with Kate, Mark and Simon flew towards the high imp's lair after she accepted to parlay. She left Castiel and Kirt behind because they were too hot headed and she left Roxy and Tim because too many of them would be interpreted as a threat by the house of wraith, so they were on standby. They soon made it to city A, but Synthia had no plans to enter. Just like how a demon had their powers halved and their DP and LP constantly drained when they entered a [Holy Territory], the same happened to angels that enters a [Profane Territory].
"Wait here." The high imp said, and entered the city.
"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Simon asked nervously, ans gripped his battle axe. Kate and Mark were similarly nervous, grabbing their duel sword and spear respectively.
[No, but it's better than going to war while two of our strongest angels are evolving. And use [Telepathy] to communicate, remember, these guys having super hearing as well.] Synthia said
[Sorry.] Simon said
The four of them continued to wait, and as they did, Synthia tried to see if she can find anything hiding in the forest around them, but she found nothing. After waiting for a while, the [Profane Territory] rippled, and out stepped a man who would have passed for human, if not for the single black horn in his head, his tall stature, the black bat like wings on his back and his black demon tail. He carried a tall battle axe in his hand, and seeing his appearance, Synthia immediately became tense.
'An oni.' Synthia thought
"No need to be so tense young angel, I'm only here to talk." The oni said with a warm smile, but Synthia could only see endless malice behind it.
"And what would an oni want to talk to me about?" She asked, prepared to attack at any moment, even though she knew it was futile. There might be more onis inside, along with the horde of high imps.
"A temporary peace, and a common threat." The Oni said and Synthia snorted.
"What would a demon from the house of war know of peace?" Synthia asked
"I know that starting a war right now is not beneficial for either of us. Not with the way things are in the Underworld, and you guys probably have your own problems in heaven right now as well." The Oni said
"What the hell are you talking about?" Synthia asked and the oni sighed. He sighed, before taking something out of the pocket of his jacket, which was made from beast fur just like the rest of his clothes. He showed her a device, with a pink crystal imbedded in it. A holographic image appeared, showing a man with two pairs of white feathery wings.
"Sir Leon?!!!" Synthia screamed in surprise when she saw the man in the picture, a fellow angel, but her face was one of horror not joy. The reason for her horror was that the angel in the picture also had obsidian black horns on his forehead and black claws extended from his fingers. His eyes were golden with black vein like cracks running down his face.
"This image was captured over a month ago on the Wraith ring. This angel, or whatever it is, was caught bargaining with demons and we later found out that he bears something powerful called the [Fragment of Mephistopheles]. The angel you once knew is gone, and what remains is only an ancient vengeful demon whose powers rival that of the Demon Kings themselves. He is apart of a cult group that call themselves the Heralds of the Apocalypse, and he helped to damage the dimensional barrier between Earth and the Underworld." The Oni said and this information left all four of them in shock
'N-no, this can't be true. But, the evidence is too great. Sir Leon has been gone for months now and the dimensional bartier just so happen to collapse on his watch. I need to contact heaven.' Synthia thought
"I would suggest that you don't that, co tact heaven I mean." The Oni said
'Can he read my mind?' Synthia thought in horror and the Oni continued
"There is no telling which angels are compromised. There might even be some among your leaders who have joined his cause." He said
"Don't compare angels with the likes of you demon." Synthia spat venemously
"Why not? You angels were the first of us." He said with a smirk and she gritted his teeth.
"This meeting is over, we won't attack you, as long as you don't attack us. Oh, and watch your back." He said and Synthia snorted before her and the others flew back to mansion. The oni watched them leave before he entered the [Profane Territory].
"That went well Lord Damion." A high imp said as he flew towards him
"Yes, but we have more pressing more pressing issues. We have no idea how fragments have moved to Earth so far, and we have no way of checking. Right now, the best we can do is prepare and hope it is enough." The oni, Lord Damian, said as his entire body was covered in hellfire and his appearance changed. Two pairs of bat like wings appeared on his back and a horns appeared on the sides of his head, and his crimson eyes glowed, reflecting the flaming city. His clothing changed, turning into a long, black coat that touched the ground and black pants.
"You are right your highness." The high imp said, as he looked at the true demon with reverence in his eyes.
