Unaffected by what protests he knew Ky was capable of mustering, John exerted his influence without haste, rarely shown in so raw a form, so that he could uncover the truth for himself. Or, in lieu of that, for he had known how skilled those of the inferno were at hiding true intentions with subterfuge, he would find an equally reasonable excuse – and react to its airing accordingly.
“...Lovely. Not this bleedin’ business again.” Gaze hardening, John would give Ky licence to talk for a little while longer. Family matters were something he tried to steer clear of, even with his own kin despite how much he cared about Cheryl. At least that was something more his speed – simple domestic upheavals were nothing that curt words and idle threats couldn’t solve.
But…this dispute was of another kind – one he wasn’t exactly inclined to get tangled up in.
A wave and a snap of fingers would end the trance, restoring to Ky the willpower he had stolen in order to ensure compliance. Without waiting to let the demon recover, John was already off on his way, longing for the embrace of shadowed streets and the bitterly cold night’s air before he’d even consider becoming party to Ky’s schemes.
“Forget what I said earlier. If you’re aimin’ to take the ol’ man, I’m not stickin’ around to see you go arse over tit in failure. Good fuckin’ night, Ky.”
once ky had his own willpower back, there was no doubt in his mind that john was going to get angry. this wasn’t his fight or anyone’s if the demon was being honest. it simply was a way make sure blackheart was out of the way and if it was planned properly it might have worked.
however, the facts were quite different; even if he managed to lock him away or even destroy him, it wouldn’t last. someone would either free blackheart or bring him back —- something that ky’lar dreaded happening, but knew was possible. though, with out even an attempt, it was quite clear that no matter what the demon did, he would always be in his father’s shadow.
it was something that he was slowly, but surely learning,
❝ i didn’t tell you everything since it wasn’timportant. hate me if you want, i don’t care, but i have to do this.❞
“Don’t make promises you have no plans of keeping.”
A part of her could understand why he escaped. Her brother preferred the human realm over Hell, and she was there because she wanted to relax. Had a human been the one to wander into her home, she would have thrown him or her out. But this one was different. A Prince of Hell, based on what she was told.
Belladonna knew of him, but she hadn’t met him before. Thus, her offer was far more gracious than usual.
“This wouldn’t be a sanctuary if I forced you to leave before you were ready.”
he wanted to say that he always kept his promises, but that would have been a lie; the only thing he didn’t break were his deals. even then, there was a chance that they would be problem if the situation called for it, and that was why he kept himself silenced on that matter.
at least for the moment at hand as he would deal with it when the time ever came.
❝ no, it wouldn’t be. a reason to why i only plan to stay a few hours… nothing more. ❞
he wished he could be accurate for how long; if it was up to him, ky would have somewhere where he could relax completely, but he didn’t feel like getting dragged back right then.
Her eyes closed as she heard the sounds of steps behind her. She’d known he’d be coming and although not a surprise, it was wanted. Lilith turned and as she lifted her head, her bright blue eyes opened, smile spreading across her features.
“If it isn’t the favored son of Hell returned.”
She stepped forward, reaching her arms out as the women around her rushed to wrap her in a long flowing robe before beginning to brush out her waist length golden mane. “Tell me Ky’lar what brings you to my palace? Are you in need of something that only I can provide?”
❝ i’m quite sure you have several things i need. ❞
that much was for certain; if he was feeling greedy, he could have requested far more than what he desired at the current time. however, that would have meant far more motivation than he currently had, and not to mention that the demon would have to prove that he was worthy — something that he didn’t have time for.
❝ however, i’m here for a weapon; something strong enough to take someone out of the great game for a few hundred years. ❞
“"Wh-“
When Dee had asked if Ky’lar wanted a cup of tea(she thought he looked so frazzled today that he needed one), she had no idea that she may end up being the tea that he needed. That alone turned the tables and frazzled her to the point of nearly panicking, but thankfully, she kept it cool.
She let the kiss play out before exhaling and gazing up at him, swaying in her boots. It was a nice kiss, heated, and she wouldn’t mind another one if the opportunity rose.
Of course she wouldn’t say that.
“Wh-what was that for, Ky’lar? Worse day than you thought?”
Stupid question, Dee.
there was a reason for this ; his moods SHIFTED far quicker than most would expect the days. one moment, he was content, and the next he wanted to MURDER everyone around him. it was something that the man NEVER was used to, but by now, he could at least ATTEMPT some sort of BALANCE.
it might have been SMALL, but all the same, he wanted to stay there for as long as POSSIBLE. maybe it was foolishness, but as she pulled away, ky played it off as NOTHING happened. after-all, it was just a KISS… nothing else,
❝ much worse.❞
The last thing she needed was some civilian getting in the mix of all this. Colleen pulled her hood down a little more, holding her katana out to him. “I won’t ask again, you’re only going to find pain here.” His pain, their pain, it didn’t matter to Colleen. If he was a part of the Hand she wouldn’t hesitate.
Colleen heard sirens and she turned around to look for an exit, she wasn’t going to stay around to try and explain this. She looked at the person down the alleyway and then sprinted for the fire escape. Jumping up and hoisting herself up and over the metal railing, Colleen sprinted for higher ground in hopes of losing him. She thought about calling Danny, this wasn’t the first time they’ve had to squash Hand business but this was the first time they were caught. She slid behind an air conditioning unit, catching her breath.
It was just his luck that there were sirens : if he was alone, he might have been able to get them to back down, but as it stood, the best option was to stay out of their sight. Police forces could be unpredictable at times and unstable at best. A reason to why he ended up following her.
While it was mainly out of his own amusement, Ky’lar knew fully well that if he wanted to at least get some answers, the best bet would be to not lose her, and if that didn’t work? Well, he would have to resort to more desperate measures, but for now, the best bet was to catch his breath, and the move on from there.
❝ —— My own pain is irrelevant. ❞ It was a delayed response once Ky’lar thought he was in the general area she was in,
❝ I’m just looking for answers and I bet the cops are as well. ❞
❛ no one deserved what the archangel has done. living in terror is simply the way things are , you either have to run , or you can hide . no matter what you do , no matter you build , he will come for all humanity . that is assured. ❜ there was part of the demon wanted to explain that things were wrong : humanity didn’t need to be hiding due to the amusementof lucifer , but that was a hope that was long gone.
❛ no matter what you think, humanity gave rise to lucifer’s fall , and rise . i highly doubt that a small portion will change things . humanity, for all that it is , and was are nothing more than animals that are flawed to the extent of no return. ❜
There were people in this world who were cruel, there were people who would do what they could to protect themselves. Selfishness has been on the rise since the dead started making an appearance. Rick couldn’t fully blame people, for him he did what he could to protect who he loved. He would kill, he would fight, more or less he would do anything it took. Keeping his people safe was his top priority in this world.
For others it was similar but they were trying to keep themselves safe rather than others. Cruel things happened, like his example of being chained to a tree and left for dead. Of course he had no idea why the man was treated this way, for all he knew he deserved it.
“I understand your caution” It was a simple reply, “But being alone is far too dangerous now, well alone all the time that is. Sometimes I like to go on runs alone, but sometimes having someone watch your back makes it a lot safer.”
While it was quite true that being alone was dangerous, that didn’t mean that Ky’lar was willing to admit that point. If it was one thing he knew best, it was that looking over your shoulder all the time for someone was taxing, and not to mention it was dangerous these days.
So dangerous in-fact, he kept alone so he could deal with everything himself. After the last incident, it wasn’t worth attempting to find a group, and he knew how most acted to newer people — they were suspicious or even dangerous to them. Thus, he kept alone, and so far, it had managed to keep him alive.
❝ Agreed. ‘Specially these days —- walkers have been out in force and they don’t seem to be thinning much. ❞ Not that Ky could personally complain, he might have been keeping tabs on them, but actually thinning the population wasn’t his strong suit,
Unfortunately for their sense of fun, Rory’s bound to ruin it.He’s a survivor and most of all, a fighter. This the other will come to learn, for no amount of effort made will get him to open up or lower his guard. ❛ I could ask you the same. ❜ The telekinetic counters, and wisely so. ❛ Even if I am ‘special’, ❜ arms unfold and he air quotes; cocks his head to the side then in consideration ( messy cerulean hair swaying with the movement ), ❛ why would I tell you ? You want answers, then start with telling me who the hell you are.❜
The kid was funny, the Demon would admit that much, but the amusement of the moment wouldn’t last too long. It never did when the real questions and answers were put on the proverbial table of sorts.
❛ I want more than simply answers, but names are so…. general aren’t they? ❜ Well, that was one way of putting it as he folded his arms behind his back firmly,
❛ It’s Richard.❜ A lie, but one that he thought wouldn’t matter for the time being,
❛ I’m someone who…seeks out talent and you just happened to spark my interest. ❜
