"Good, that make this a bit easier..." He sigh before continue.
"Well.... how do i put this.... yesterday Elektra told me that the one that curses you was this...thing, called Zalam Damis..an Arabic for a creature of darkness or something... she said." He glance as Liam's fist tightened for a moment. "....The problem is....there no such a thing called 'Zalam Damis' not in every Mythology... well except maybe one... or two, if you considered Avestan as mythology."
".....The closest thing i found that match Elektra' description... was this....Abomination from Persian." His expression looks like he just eat something foul.
"An Ancient deity called Ahriman."

He look a bit unsure for a moment.
"Although calling it a deity maybe not entirely rights.... its more of a... 'concept'. A personafication of all evil in the world." He then scratched his head in frustation.
"Looks, i dont know if my 'theory' is corrects or not theres still many flaw on them."

''Belief it or not, its not the first time Ahriman showed itself or doing something bad... but it was never, ever directly." He then wince a bit as he remember a tragedy back when he was still a young Demon. "...Like the last time it been seen few thousands years ago, if im not wrong when he manipulate a King named Zahak as its pawn and rule over Persian for a hundred year..."

"Zalam Damis IS the personofication of evil and darkness. You are not far off. He was born in hatred and malice and forged with the blood of the innocent. He is here to destroy all that is good. My heart is pure. That is why he has been sent after us. I am the only one with enough light in my heart to weild the weapon against him. Well, except for Elektra who has no corporeal form, and Casryth, who may be carrying my child as we speak... do not tell her I told you that last part. I trust you Zehn, and she trusts you. I know you and Eris, and even Levi will help me save my daughter, my wife, and this new baby if that is what the fates decide. We want you and Eris to be the god parents of our next child, whether we are having them now or later in life. You mean that much to us."

 

[Hans Bloodsmith]

"Well.... thank you, Liam.... you know its stranges that you said that even though we never properly introduce ouself." He said with a sheepish grin toward the 'physically' older man. Well that put his mind at ease that now he knew Zalam Damis and Ahriman was in fact one entiety.... not that surprised him, some deity has been know to changes name from time to time, like Zeus into Jupiter or Angra Mainyu into Ahriman... and now Zalam Damis.
"....Well, i think i should be the one that start it." He then give his hand infront of Liam.
"My name is Beelzebub, but others call me Zehn, i am a Demon from the Circle of Gluttony in hell... nice to meet you."

 

[DeviousDarkDude]

"Nice to officially meet you. I am Liam Damian Bartholomew Cross, the king of the Lost Kingdom of Alleria, home of the forsaken and displaced. "

"May I ask you something?"

 

[Hans Bloodsmith]

"Sure. Just ask it Liam Damian Bard-Bartholomew...Cross? Did i spell thats right?" He mutter the last part to himself

 

[DeviousDarkDude]

"What made you want to stick around after my wife freed you?" He asked.

 

[Hans Bloodsmith]

"Cause....well that was a pretty tricky question..." He put a thoughfull expression before speaking again.
''At first i just kinda.... i dont know, indebted to her...well i still are but i mean she freed me from my five hundred something imprisonment." He then give a shrug. "After that i wanna give her something to repay her, maybe some treasure or magical knowledge but the stubborn women (no offence) never even considering it." He continue with annoyed tone.
"Her kind attitude only makes me more guilty of my past crime....And then a lot of thing happens... like meeting Eris." He smile a bit though it quickly turn into frown. "....and then she told me that her husband, also known as Liam.... also known as you. Has been cursed by an Evil things and held in a time loop." Hes not give Liam a pity expression, only an understanding one.
"And im thinking, this is my chances. To not only redeem myself but also pay her back after all the helps she give to me." He then scratched the back of his head.
"....If not for her, i probably still in those castle, maybe gone insane-r after another centuries of so. I also will never meet my mates, Eris or my sister. So yeah... the reason why im stick around with her is that i will help her from all her problems likes she helps mine." The look of realization then come as he suddently remember something.
"....Oh yeah...now that i think of it...i..umm, after all this busisses with Evil-being-that-try-to-kill us ends. I wonder if i can buy some part of the land in this country.... just a small part for me and Levi live. I already decide to settle down and live here... probably work as a farmer of something... just a quiet peacefull, warless live... i can pay it now if you want?" As he finished he shove his hand into the inside of his shirts, spefically at the gaping maw on his belly and take out a fist full of precious stones and metals.
"...Uhhh, did humans still accept Gems these day?" He nervously ask as he lift a ping pong- size Ruby with his free hand.

While Liam and Zehn were having a heart to heart Zeref was busy roaming around the Earth to find some lead about this Zalam Damis after several hours he believed he tracked down a lead to this seemingly unknown entity and went straight towards one of the hidden caves of himlayas to find the answers he seek

 

[DeviousDarkDude]

"We do, but we won't take it. After all of this is done, you will have more than earned a home here among us," Liam said with a smile. "I can see in yor eyes that you doubt yourself, and believe you don't deserve this chance. You do, and be good to Eris and your sister. That is all we ask," Liam said giving Zehn a half hug.

In her sleep, Casryth tossed and turned.

In her dream, she was walking along the main street in the village. She had a small infant bound to her chest with an elegant wrap, and her arm around the infant's bottom. Elektra stood at her side, smiling and holding her other hand. "Mommy can I go play with the other kids?!" Elektra asked happily.

"Ne, pethi mou (yes my child, in Greek)," Casryth replied with a smile and off ran Elektra.

Casryth sat on the bench behind the rock wall surrounding the little pond in the village square and hummed to the baby, bouncing her up and down. She smiled affectionately as Elektra played. "One day, little one, I will tell you the story of Grandma and Grandpa. You will even hear the stories of Mommy and Daddy. We, and your big sister love you stories much it hurts," Casryth spoke. A single tear slid down her cheek and landed on the baby's blanket.

As her tear hit the blanket, the world around them fell away. She could hear Elektra screaming in the distance, calling for her as the world turned black. "Mommy help! "

Out of the Darkness she could hear a deep dark voice appear, "you will never have this life." Casryth stood and as she did, the bench disappeared. She was wrenched forward into the darkness, her child taken from her arms.

"No please!" she cried out. "Not again, I can't lose my babies again!" she screamed.

-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-

"Casryth, Casryth wake up!" yelled Levi shaking her gently. She had been walking by and heard Casryth screaming. Frightened, and still half asleep, Casryth kicked out and fought against Levi's arms. "Casryth please, wake up!" she called out dodging Casryth's fists.

Slowly Casryth opened her eyes and looked around the room. "Zalam Damis," she muttered. She knew the creature was coming for them. This dream was more than a dream, it was a warning.

Immediately, Casryth leapt from the bed and began to search through drawers slamming through them open and then shut. She grabbed a piece of chalk and vegan to write on the dark wood, "Suffocatus interiit metu in mea mente capti, ad exitum, reperire non possum. In parte de patris et matris, ut ex illis quae plus reponere cogitantes mihi mala. Et ex omnibus oppidi tuendi mei nobis inveniat mansionem perderent.Expellat tenebras: lucem ostende mihi. Reliqui omnes daemones in templo invenerunt praeteritam muros tutus erit hoc sigillum tenentur sanguine. Receptis omnibus exquirentibus salvabuntur Sic fiat semper," she wrote three times.

She turned to the drawer and took out an athame, a ceremonial blade. Before Levi could stop her, she sliced open her finger and drew a sigil over her words. She closed her eyes and placed her open palm over the sigil. "Sic fiat semper," she whispered as a blinding white light engulfed her body alerting Liam and Zehn outside.

After seeing the light shine through the window they ran inside. Along the way they passed Eris and Eliana who joned them as well. They reached the doorway just as the light faded and Casryth crumpled to the floor.

"Casryth!" Levi yelled out.

 

[Hans Bloodsmith]

"Uhhh...." Zehn look genuinely touched (and confused) as he never actually be hugged by other males than Lucifer before awkwardly embrace the King back tighly.
"Thank you.... Brother.... you dont know how much its means to us... and especially to me...." As they separated Zehn give a grin to the blue eyed man.
".... I still want you to accept one of this though... Not as a.. Payment. But a gift, as a family." He then take Liams left hand and put one of the gems, A small heart-shaped Sapphire stone, the same color as Liam's and Elektra's eyes.
".... You are a good husband and Father Liam.... promise me to continue be tha-" The two males heads snaped at Mansion before quickly Liam runs into his wife like his life depent on it followed be Zehn, Spot, Asteria and Minx behind him. All have concerned expression to the Queen.

 

[DeviousDarkDude]

"What happened!" Liam yelled running to Casryth. He fell to the floor and pulled her into his lap.

Levi turned to him with tears in her eyes. "She was having a nightmare. I walked by and heard her yelling in her sleep. I tried to wake her up but she was punching and hitting. Then finally she opened her eyes and whispered Zalam Damis. Then she started digging through drawers and took out chalk. Her eyes glassed over like she was being controlled by something else. Then she wrote that spell on the wall and sealed it with her blood. I was screaming for her, but she couldn't hear me."

"This has happened before. This spell, is a seal. One more powerful than I have ever experienced," he muttered. He read the words on the wall, making snse of them. "Casryth has an ability to remember everything she has ever read. This spell is an ancient one used banish evil while protecting evil beings that have sought absolution. That includes demons. She found a way to banish evil from the town, but protect all of you, despite being demonic entities. The book she must have read this from was her mother's all memories of that you g age had been locked all way for her, protected. I wonder what broke the barrier," he said stroking her hair lovingly and looking down at her. "Something is going on with you my love."

 

[CordeliaCross]

Slowly, she opened her eyes and saw she was on the floor with everyone around her. "Wh-What's wrong?" she asked looking up at Liam. Then she saw the wall, and a wave of recognition burst through her. Her head began to throb.

 

[DeviousDarkDude]

"Would it kill you to stay out of trouble, my love?" he asked with a smile.

 

[CordeliaCross]

"I think it might. Why are we on the floor?"

 

[Hans Bloodsmith]

"...Drink first explaination later...." He said as he conjured a glass of water for her.
"...you almost give all of us heart attacks you know?"

 

[DeviousDarkDude]

He looked down and realized he still had the gem in his hand. He looked up to Zehn and smiled knowingly. "You were sleepwalking honey. Your subconscious mind managed to have found just the right seal and cast it. You found a way to banish evil and still protect the good demons."

 

[CordeliaCross]

She smiled and took the water. "Thank you Zehn," she said taking a sip.

 

[DeviousDarkDude]

"Listen here, woman. You need to be careful, I'm not losing you again," he growled playfully stroking her hair.

 

[CordeliaCross]

"You never lost me the first time Liam, you were just misplaced. You can never lose me," she said stroking his cheek.
