Setting
"So what do you think?" Skye asked him quietly, the only sound besides them in the cave being the soft lapping of the flames around the castle itself, "Mother made this to replicate Castle Royale in the Hell she was born in, which of course no longer exists due to Majin," she explained.
"It's...beautiful in its own sense. Though, not something I fancy myself. I'm sure your mother, and you, adore it. I can't even see my father enjoying it though. It's too...dark." He states with a smirk.
Turning to face her, he nods, and shrugs. "Oh, well, I see. I guess this Majin is quite a terrible creature.." He finishes.
"Is the Black Rose Gardens. They only could live in Hell, and the only reason they're alive here is because of how mother has mimicked the environment of Hell here," She squeezed his hand, then slowly started to walk towards the castle before them.
"I see. I pity her, I suppose. Hell would not be a place for me. It's also why I pity my father. The man has been there on multiple occasions." He states, before glancing off to the side to see the Rose Gardens. "And these...these...they simply scream death to me. I cannot appreciate them. It is why I chose not to accept my fathers invitation to live here the first time. I expected a setting much like this. Your mother...she's easy to decipher." He states with a snicker; though he felt her clasp upon his hand tighten. So he, as well, chose to slightly tighten his grip upon her hand; following her inside.
Most prominent was first the very painting that once was within the original Castle Royale. Above the hallway was a painting of Gullwing Vegeta and Kadea Liz Royale sitting on their thrones with their four children: Vegetra Alexia Royale, Kadeo Matthew Royale, Annie Royale, and True Vegetra Royale. In the hallway was portraits of them all, and also of Lucifer, Lucifera, Hades, Hellecia, Kadeta, True Kadeta, of Sky, and of Alexia, Vegeshin, and Alexia's five children. Littered between various portraits were doors, all of which maintained the round medieval door design of the front doors except for the last door on the right, which was an obnoxious rectangular modern door. Above the door to the throne room was a picture much like the first, but it held within it Alexia and Vegeshin on their thrones, with Vexion,and Alexia's five kids around them.
"Mother is probably inside here wrapping up her daily duties as Queen of the Deities," Skye said, glancing at her watch before pointing to the rectangular door beside them, "But your father is most definitely within his wing of the castle, which you can find through that door.
"I see. So...what else is there to do? I see this place is rather large. Am I to pester my father? Or...are you to speak with your mother? What exactly am I here for again...I suppose a visit is a visit, but...if they are busy..." He begins, before falling silent as he casts his eyes upon her.
He...felt beyond out of place. This castle, this realm, this...arccus...was not for him. He did not enjoy it. He was...beyond uncomfortable.
"Your...room?" He inquires, arching a brow in slight amusement. "Really, Skye? Such a silly girl you are..." He states, shaking his head with a laugh.
"As long as they do not take forever and a day. I think I can wait..." He states, and then seems to stop, shaking his head. Suddenly, a look of interest perks into his eyes.
"This creature Majin. Are there any remnants of him? I'm curious. He seemed to be a very powerful warrior, from what you've told me. If so, I want to see. I want to judge with my own eyes. You know how powerful my eyes are. They see everything. Perhaps I can find something out that others cannot. I mean, I realize your mother must know everything. But I want to know on the scale my eyes can grant. Perhaps I, myself, can learn something." He then suddenly states.
...Like a puppet with its strings being pulled...
"But... Why the sudden change of interest?" Skye asked, her eyes lightening a little, "I suppose I can let you look, but... We have to be careful not to be caught, and you can't touch it because if so much as one piece of it gets out of the energy field he can come back." Skye was speaking too much, but she didn't think twice about whether she was or not. Something seemed... Off, but she could explain it off. She just wanted to know if he could...
Leaning forward, though, he pulls her closer; his lips close to hers. "Please Skye; I promise we won't be caught. I won't do a thing; just study it with my eyes.." He states; those pale eyes of his suddenly manifesting into his 'Demon Eyes'. "See; this is all..." he says.
"A-Alright... I'll take you to him..." She whispered, trying with all she was not to stutter.
As they made there way through the long, shaded, passageway, he snickers at her words. "But of course. All would assume a being so powerful, to be sealed beneath. Not above. Above seems to be the easiest place to get to. But, I suppose, from what I see now, it is not the case." He states.
And once they found they're way into the chamber. Vexion's pale violet eyes locked upon the containment field. Slowly striding up to it, his Demon Eyes activate. If Vexion could utter anything; it would be a gasp of absolute shock. He saw everything that composed this creature from this remnant. The dark energy. The terrible power. The conglomeration of genetics. Even his lineage and where he began. He could see it all. Even the screaming weakness.
Forbidden had plans though.
"Skye...I thank you." He simply states, reaching forth to plunge his hand in. Securing the piece, he turns about, staring at her. His eyes flash a pale crimson for a second before a crooked sneer appears on his lips.
"And now, I must take my leave..." He states, walking forward. A free hand pulls forth Necrossaiga II, and with a lash of it to the side; he opens a dimensional rift. One that would close as soon as he'd entered.
"I suggest you remain here. It should be now obvious to you that Vexion is not controlling this body. One false move, and I can end his existence here before you...simply by being within his mind." The voice of Vexion carries forth.
And with that, the boy turns and enters the rift, it closing directly behind him. Remnant of Majin and all.
"Vexion, what are you doing!! You're endangering us all!!" she screamed, before she heard his words. It was clear to her now, she felt so stupid for not realizing it sooner: Vexion had been possessed. She went to take a step forward, but she was too afraid and was only able to watch him vanish into the rift. She fell to her knees, letting out a cry before she spun and ran as fast as she could towards the exit, running into the walls again and again, scraping and bruising her entire body as she did so. She hit the door with a sickening thud, busting open her forehead in the collision. She opened the door and fell into the floor, right into Alexia and Vegeshin's sight.
"Skye, what on earth were you doing in there? Answer me. And what happened to you?" He asks sternly, though pulling her into a warm embrace. The poor fool had grown so attached to his family already. He almost wanted to curse Vegeta, as he felt he was too similar to the bastard. But, well...a family was a family.
"Where is Vexion. I felt his presence here. He can suppress his power all he likes, but...since he and I both possess copies of Necrossaiga...I can sense him anywhere; especially if he uses the blade to travel." He finishes.
"...He, he tricked me," Skye began, "I didn't realize it until it was too late, you can look in my memories if you have to he didn't seem that different at all other than the initial red flag that went up, but Vexion was possessed by someone with crimson eyes, someone who tricked me into taking them to Majin. He grabbed Majin before opening the rift, saying to stay there because he could kill Vexion from within his mind... After he left I didn't even bother to make myself a light and just ran here as fast as I could. I was running into walls, falling down stairs... But I was just trying to get here faster. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry I didn't know..." It was now she began to silently cry, unable to bottle her emotions anymore.
"Hn. Something is not right, obviously. Where could he be? What is going on..." He mutters to himself, releasing Skye to her mother. He himself immediately took off down the hall, before leaving the castle altogether.
Leaving completely, he sought out Vexion, though he'd find him to no avail...
