An Unlikely Trio...


Gambit's BarSetting: Gambit's Bar


Seated at the grand piano, a sharply dressed butler played mournful dirges to an empty room. His gloved fingers danced over the keys with a skill his appearance did not portray, the music that reverberated around the empty room seeming to hang in the air long after the song had faded away. It was a melody not heard on mortal soil, a forbidden tune from time long lost.

Butler he appeared, this man was no butler.

He paused in his playing, letting the echoes fade before sighing heavily. A smile touched the fine featured face as it turned to quirk an eyebrow at a chair in the front row, regarding the strangely alluring woman who had simply appeared there.

"Why, my old friend, it seems you've acquired some company after all."

Lectre Mansion Grand BallroomSetting: Lectre Mansion Grand Ballroom


For a moment, the idea of laying this very mansion to waste seemed like the choicest idea, upon seeing the three that stood together by the stage. Sighing heavily though, Adam Ruin strode for the dais.

The walk took several minutes, but eventually he was close enough. His voice rumbled like that of the earth's, grey eyes regarding the collected demons coldly.

"What do you want, Leviathan? Or you, Mephisto? I may have fallen, but I am no friend of yours."
"I...see." Indecision framed the fallen's face, but it was a war that he knew he would bow to. God's choices had indeed driven him to his own exile, but with Heaven he had no grudge. But a power hungry Seraphim commanding the legions? It explained the wax of assaults and efforts to recover the massive blade he even now carried.

"Go on, Leviathan. But know, if you plot treachery, even you know the bite of Saiyaku."
Holding up a hand, he waved a finger. "First of all, simply call me Butler. Or did you forget certain names attract...attention?

"Secondly," The bound demon rose to his feet, before promptly slamming a fist into the surface of the piano. The instrument caved in to the floor at the blow, and the Butler turned eyes filled with fury on his brethren. "The curse has been just that, a curse. How about you give it a go, oh dear Envy?"

The sneering tone of his voice merely elicited a laugh from the wraith, and suddenly Butler cocked his head to the side. Something about the ring of his mirth sounded...odd.

"Something on your mind, brother?"
The possibilities whirled through Mephisto's skull like a hurricane, the allure of this offer oh so tempting. To finally be free of Raziel's never to be sufficiently damned chains? "I'm listening, Envy."

His fingers twitched, already eager to stretch round this false prince's throat, to rip her to pieces.
Clapping sounded, although it came from behind the Butler. A ghostly form strode forward from the shadows, its countenance leaving no shadow of a doubt what manner of being this projection was from. The twisting horns and tainted presence that even now resonated like a nexus gave it a distinct flavor.

Leviathan, the demon prince of Envy.

"Indeed I have, brother. There have been many changes since you last strode below, Mephistopheles. Some are...troubling."

The manifestation smiled as it noted the scowl on the bound demon's face, taking a measure of delight in his sudden irritation. Although this was but one of those he'd come to see on this night, and he sent a breeze of his scent wafting across the city, seeking the other.

"Tell me, how has Raziel's curse been, dear brother?"
"Of course," A knowing smile. "Butler, remember Envy and his plots."

"I was but awaiting our guest, for the sake of politeness." And so Leviathan turned to view the far end of the room, where a new arrival had appeared. One who lifted a blade far, far greater than its wielder.
"An accord, Destroyer. An alliance." Envy's smile vanished as he settled to business.

"Lucifer has long been replaced by pretenders, and to this we princes have abided. The current usurper is a fool if she thinks I can't tell the difference. But that is beside the point. Heaven has, it seems, also been overthrown."

A moment of pleasure as both of his listeners sharpened their gazes on him, for this was indeed the first time they'd heard of such a thing. "Yes, a Seraphim known as Armagius, ruling as would a tyrant in His place. Your oh so despised God has vanished, Ruin. And now a madman runs the show."

"Butler, you have long suffered chains, and yet I may have a way for you to slip them. This pretender imagines herself powerful, and indeed she is. But then, she has never met you, has she?"
Leviathan's smile hid the triumph that he felt, the roar he loosed in Hell unheard here. "Then it is agreed. Together, these pretenders all will be drowned in their own blood. I grow tired of this new age, all of its strife and conflict. I wish for a return, and so we shall carve a path to the times of the past."

"And they talk of the Balance, as if they knew what they spoke of."

And so, one Prince was joined. Allied, with these two most dangerous representatives of each side, each an outcast.

The single most murderous of all the Princes to ever lord over Hell, trapped by the mysterious Raziel and his machinations.

And the only destroyer angel to turn his back on the light of Heaven.

If only those poor fools knew what had just been born here.
