You had sent Dominic ahead to advance the report while you took Eliza to the med bay.

While no physical wounds seemed to affect her; she was still unconscious, occasionally muttering and shifting around.

You're pretty sure that the Doc will have something to help her.

You arrive a few minutes later to the Doc, and pass him over to her after explaining the situation. He scratches his flecks of beard and ponders for a minute.

"Strange, but not unusual." He said, after checking all vital signs were stable.

"Normally the kind of attack you described would lead to a mental control of some sort."

He turns to you and gives you a hard stare. "I don't think Eliza, or any of you would have the skill level capable of even defeating Stanis."

"Is there something you're not telling me?"

What do you say?
>Tell him everything, your powers, and Eliza's insane Magic output preventing Stanis from controlling her

>Leave out the part about her magic output

>"He got careless"

>Leave out the part about you going full nutbag

>Leave out the part about Eliza having the magic capacity the size of a planet

You shrug, "He guessed that we were not strong, and we surprised him. Plus Eliza has got a hefty amount of magic on her; and she's been studying the how-to-do anyways"

He looks at you for a bit before shrugging,

"Well I'm not going to complain, I prefer alive students as opposed to dead ones."

"Makes it easier to experiment with them."

"What's that?"

"Oh nothing,"
He laughs awkwardly, before becoming serious again, "The problem is that her affliction isn't going to be easy to get rid of. You know how they say "If you're going to suck out the poison, you better know how to make it?""

They totally don't say that.

"Well, you need a dark user to drain the darkness from her, and our resident darkie is away on an expedition." He clicks his fingers

"Hey wait a minute, you're a dark class magic ain'tcha? I could show you the ropes, and you can do it for me!"

"Whaddya say?"

Well, 'Whaddya say?

"Are there any risks involved?" You ask the Doctor. He, unhelpfully, shrugs his shoulders.

"Can't say for sure, this ain't really my area of expertise. Kiera would know, but like I said, she isn't here." He thinks for a second, rubbing his stubble once more

Doing that isn't going to make it grow faster.

"Well, I think it depends on how infected the patient is. If she isn't killing you, its good right?" He says, smiling winningly.

Some Doctor you are.

"Well, may as well give it a shot." You sigh, turning to her cot.

"Great, just stick your hand on her head and think about diving into her head!" the Doctor instructs.

"Kinda like brain surgery."

What kind of brain surgery does this guy do?

You're starting to acquire Eliza's fear of doctors.

You do as he says, and close your eyes.

When you open your eyes, you're in the white space again, endless white stretching towards the horizons. And in the centre, there's that girl again.

Why is she here?

As your vision becomes more clear, you notice something else; she's on the floor again, slumped over, shoulders wracking with each heaving breath.

Is... Is she crying?

You take a step towards her unthinkingly, your shoes this time making a clacking noise. Her head shoots up and turns towards you slowly.

You brace yourself for the deafening scream once more, but this time she just sighs and looks away.

"Came here to help?" She asks, fatigue biting into her voice.

What do you do?

"First of all, why are you here?" You ask, stepping towards her. She stares at you, tilting her head.

"Why am I here? I'm SUPPOSED to be here." She says, frowning.

"Aren't you here to help your dear friend?"

You've never seen Eliza with a face other than cool disdain, but if you ever were to see her crying, she would look a lot like this girl does right now.

Weird.

"So wait, if you're supposed to be here, and I'm not. How did I see you before?"

She looks at you and rubs her eyes slowly, wiping away the tears.

"That's because you were trespassing. I blew you up last time because YOU were the one who was in the wrong place."

"But how?" You ask, but she shrugs "How should I know? All I know is that you weren't Her, and I thought you were some invader and blasted you out."

"Now are we going to save her or not?"

You shrug, putting it aside for now; the girl; whoever she was, even though she looked like a demon: was right. Saving Eliza was the reason you came here.

"What can I do to help?" you ask.

She sighs, and turns away from you before making a gesture at the sky. "Look up."

You look to see a pool of darkness bubbling at what would appear to be the sky, tendrils of black slowly etching out of it.

"See that? Take it away."

"But how?" you ask, confused. She huffs and turns around again.

"I don't know, you're the one with the dark-y negative stuff. Figure it out!"

You're just surrounded by helpful people today.

Well, pointing at stuff seems to help a lot recently, so you may as well do that.

You raise your hand, concentrating on the pool of darkness. It seems that just doing stuff in your brain seems to work; so you tell the darkness mentally to get lost.

Politely of course, never hurts.

Your arm begins to bubble with energy, and this time, a wolf shoots out of it, landing on the ceiling with a thud.

It barks once, before literally picking up the darkness with its mouth and bringing it to you, looking up at you as if you want to play fetch.

Weirdo dog.

As you reach out to take the energy, it seems to flow towards you, the mana of the spell flooding through your arm and disappearing.

The wolf barks again, happily this time, before vanishing in a whirl of black mana that follows the previous surge. The place looks brighter now, and you turn back towards the girl.

"Well, that's that I guess." you say, before walking past her. "Now, how do I get out of here..."

"I can help with that." She says, as you turn around.

Shes right up in your face.

Too close.

"It's a good thing She likes you, you know." the girl says, looking a lot better than she did a few minutes ago.

"Who likes me, Eliza?" you scoff, "You could show her a picture of my dead body and the corpse of an ant and she'd probably pick the ant as more sad."

The girl only smiles as a response. "She's not great at showing emotion sure, but she at least appreciates you."

"I've said enough, off you go!" She claps her hands, and you have to shut your eyes to the bright light she suddenly emits.

When you open your eyes again, you're back in the med bay, with Eliza in her cot. She looks a lot more peaceful now.

Dominic's there too now, sitting in a chair and looking at you expectantly. The Doctor has gone off, and you're not sure you want to know where.

"How did it go?" He asked, worry tinged in his voice.

You let him know that it went okay, and that she'll be fine when she wakes up. He breathes a sigh of relief.

"Thank god." He says, looking much less stressed out than he did a few seconds ago.

"I felt like it was my fault. Somehow," He laughs a bit before scratching the back of his head and standing up.

"Well, after all that; I'm not really that tired anymore. How about you Alex?"

What do you do?

"Yeah I don't really think I can sleep either." You say, stretching slightly before motioning for Dominic to follow. "Come on, lets take a walk."

"Okay."

The two of you walk out into the late night, the crescent moon still making its star-filled journey across the sky.

Sooner or later you come across the training yard again, before stopping.

"Hey Dom, hold up for a second. I want to try something." You say, moving away from Dominic for a second.

"Whats up Alex?" He asks, curious

"I absorbed the curse that was in Eliza earlier." You begin, before seeing Dominic's worried face. "I'm alright, but I felt myself getting stronger from that, I want to see if somethings changed."

You lift out your hand once more, and begin to concentrate.

Have you thought of using it to affect speed?

Darkness travels faster than light, because physics.

So a guy who uses darkness could conceivably accelerate himself to extreme degrees, may or may not need to be in darkness to do.

Maybe you can go MAXIMUM on the operation of darkness and shadows, wearing them as a sort of armor, doing shit with it.

Actual manifestations of darkness into whatever we want as in swords chains spikes, cages, shadow beings etc. Corruption of beings, mind control, memory erasing and other mind altering spells and spells that bend people and demons to our will should be in the realm of dark. Perhaps some spells like imbuing things with darkness like our weapons or other trinkets and using them for sneaky things like surveillance, but with shadow conjuring we could just make shadow bug spies for scouting and eavesdropping. PLENTY of ideas.

The two dark orbs shatter as the others vanish into the night.

Time to test this out.

You summon your Black Gate again, its dark energies radiating out beneath you. When you tried this last time in public, people backed away from you; mentioning that it made them feel uncomfortable.

You then only practiced it in the comfort of your own room. You then look to Dominic.

He's standing perfectly still, waiting to see what happened next.

Huh,

Is it because he trusts you?

From the Gate you hear a ethereal roar, and sense a vast force rushing out from under your feet. Before you can move however, something emerges from your feet.

A tiny dog.

That has two heads.

He flops in front of your feet, making a cute "blap" sound as he lands. And yapping quietly.

"Is.. that a dog?" Dominic asks, completely confused before bursting out laughing.

'whyamisosmall' a voice in your head says.

Was that the dog?

'yesitsme,' The dog responds, apparently also able to read your thoughts.

It then looks at Dominic, who's wiping tears off his face from mirth

'iwannabitehim'

"Awwh isn't he adorable." Dominic coos as he reaches out for the dog, before the dog begins to gnaw his finger.

"He's trying so hard to act tough too! Ain't he just the cutest?" Dominic practically squeals,

He must really like dogs.

'whyishenotscreaming' the dog asks 'why are my teeth so blunt'

Too bad the feeling isn't mutual.

Since Darkness and Light are anathema to eachother, you could give them a very close relationship.

They both do pretty much the same stuff, but go about it in opposite ways.

Duality is weird like that.

You can cast light with Light magic?

Why not have Darkness magic have the ability to make shadows vanish?

Easy to spot something when suddenly there is an empty bright spot around it from you taking its darkness away.

Functionally the same thing, but boy does it do it differently

"Okay, okay that's enough outta you." You say, picking him up by the scruff.

'master let me go i need to bite him'

"What do I even call you anyways." You wonder.

'from my world i'm called -' it spits out a phrase of incomprehensible muttering.

'but you're my master what do you want'

What do you want to name him/it?

Actually, no, not really.

I named my old dog which was a Shorky "Baron von Nibbles"

That is more creative than "Duke". And even so, Nibbles is not that uncommon of a name for small dogs, nor Baron.

Try something better, maybe something in Latin to play on the old names.

That's a source, I think wikipedia says about the same thing and there are probably others.

It's not universally agreed upon due to variable tellings of the story, but one of the tellings has Orthrus (Cerberus' lil bro) siring the Nemean Lion with Chimera, which would make Cerberus the Nemean Lion's uncle.

"What about..." You think for a moment, before deciding on another mythical dog creature sporting multiple heads

"What about Cerberus?" The puppy does a mix between a grunt and a yap

'good nuff'

"Uhh Alex?" Dominic says, looking at you strangely.

Oh, right. Talking to dogs when no one else can hear may be a little strange.

"Sorry about that, little guy needed a name." You say, petting one of the two heads.

Does it mind if you only pet one head?

'petboth'

Guess that solves that question.

After finding a bench to sit on, you let little Cerb hop around a bit, exploring his new environment as Dominic watches.

"So, Dominic, I've been meaning to ask you." You start, unsure how to proceed.

"What do you want to ask about Alex?" He asks, eyes still glued to Kerberos.

"You're part of the Queens family aren't you? Why are you even in the Academy of Hunters?"

He freezes in place, the gentle smile he had earlier melting slowly off his face.

"I'm sorry," You say, "Forget I brought it up, I just-"

"No, its okay." He says, heaving a heavy sigh. "If anyone deserves to know, its you and Eliza."

You make your way back to the med bay, where Eliza is sitting up; nodding hurriedly at the Doctor, who seems to be giving her a good talk about...

"...And if you want to, just ask! I'd be more than happy to open you up to see!"

Of course.

Poor Eliza.

You and Dominic swiftly come to her rescue and although she doesn't show it, she seems pretty grateful.

"And who's this little monster?" She wonders aloud, reaching out to tickle Cerberus's chin

'mmrgh' He grunts in amusement, letting the girl fiddle with his left head, while his right one tries yet again to sever Dominic's finger through futile gnawing.

The perks of having two heads, I guess.

Wait, do you have to feed him?

'live off shadow' it responds, its left head shaking as Eliza reaches it's ears. 'food not necessary'

Good.

'love meat though'

Of course you do.

"So, Dominic," You say, once you've all settled down, and Cerberus sitting in your lap. "What's your story?"

Dominic seems to take a moment to gather himself.

"So you all know that the Queens are a pretty big, but reclusive, high up family." He says, and waits for you to all nod before continuing.

"You might not know that they're an important piece of the underground networking. Assassinations, high value contracts; the black market. Everything shady you can think of, they've probably got their hands in it."

Eliza shakes her head in slight disbelief "Can't believe it, I've heard rumors but..." Dominic purses his lips. "Well, they're true."

"So what about you?" You ask, leaning forward. "Surely they won't just let you out of the business so easily." He flinches at that, before shrugging.

"It's not like they need me." He says, fidgeting slightly. "Besides, they needed manpower in the military as well; and I was their way in, or so I want them to believe." His gaze hardens.

"I don't want any part of their schemes. I'm sick of it."

You feel for Dominic, a softie at heart. He's already struggling so much to tell you all this, but you feel like he might be hiding something.

What do you do?

You reach over to pat him on the shoulder reassuringly. Even Eliza gives him a small nod.

She's got emotion where it counts.

"So," You start, leaning back.

"What do you guys think about sleeper agents?"

They stare at you in confusion.

"I was thinking, since Eliza's encounter with Stanis; what if people could be controlled?" Eliza nods, contemplating it, considering she almost experienced it first hand.

"But, wouldn't they just be programmed to kill?" Dominic asks, thinking.

"That's what I thought too at first, but Stanis the Demon was too cold; too calculating despite his arrogance. And that's what worries me." You scratch Cerberus's ears absentmindedly.

"If we assume that the Devils are as cunning as humans could be, then whats stopping them from putting people in our ranks?"

This makes them think for a while, before the Doctor comes in and ushers you all out.

You walk back to your room, the second part of your question unfinished.


If they could slip agents into our ranks, why couldn't we do the same to them?

"So," you say aloud, staring at your pet dog, as he looks back at you the next day.

"How am I supposed to explain you?"

'i can hide in your shadow' it replies, before demonstrating it; slinking into your shadow and melting into it.

'do you want me to show you full power' it says, posing it as a question.

"Eh, I don't have to be in class for another half an hour anyways." You shrug.

"Show me what you got!"

'mokie'

It starts to growl, and shapeshift; its appearance becoming more fearsome and deadly.

It's fur begins to bristle and thicken; and the scruff of its neck begins to ignite.

It feels infinitely more deadly than the adorably cute puppy that stood before you before. And rightly so. There was just one thing.
Its the same size.


"Uhm, anything you can do about your size?" You laugh, bending over to give it a scratch.

It's strange, even though its fur appears to be as matted and thick as steel; its still soft to your touch.


Wait, did it just grow?

Cerberus is now to the middle of your waist in a flash, almost bumping you in the nose with his heads, his teeth suddenly in large definition.

'do you think im stupid' it almost mutters and snarls.

Apparently, its personality changes when it gets bigger.

'i heard that' it said, as it shrunk back to its original size and appearance; once more being an adorable puppy.

You hear the door open and Eliza is standing there; apparently having experienced the entire thing.

"Dog's smarter than you, Alex." She remarks, leaning on the door.

"Probably didn't want to tear down your house; unlike you with your blatant disregard for room safety." She shrugs. Before turning around.


"Put on a shirt, and lets grab Dominic?"
After grabbing Dominic who was half asleep when you knocked on his door, you all make your way to the demonology class.

Learning about the hierarchy and guessed origins of the Devils and Demons was pretty boring; but it is kind of important.

You knew that the Hierarchy went from ArchDevils being at the top and scaling down to the lowest class; the heretical followers and satanist; with Devils, Greater Demons, Demons and Lesser demons in between them all.

The theories of their origins were confusing as well; with the religious farts saying that they were punishment from Gods, and the science farts saying that they may be from another planet or universe.

The philosophers however, wondered what happened when Demons died; Do they have a heaven or hell like we do? Do they have reincarnation? What and how would they come back to life?

It was still boring.

"Well, I'm glad that's over!" Dominic says, stretching after class is finished. Seemed like you weren't the only one who was sick of the class where you watch people bitch about the creatures you're supposed to kill for two hours.

Eliza nods, and you all go get some food to eat. Hotpot this time.
"So," Eliza mumbles through pieces of meat.

"What do you want to do after?"

You all decide that; after you almost lost the duel with Stanis; that you shouldn't take magic resistance so lightly.

You all focus on learning counterspells and barriers as well as offensive capabilities for the first week.

Eliza learns how to create a spirit double that can work in tandem with her for a brief period of time, as well as temporarily boost her body strength to superhuman levels. She worked really hard after the humiliation from Stanis; and now has potentially one of the stronger magic resistances between the three of you.

Dominic focused on utilization of his ice manifestations; now able to easily create several ice lances instead of just one; and is able to infuse his weapons with ice, freezing enemies upon prolonged contact.

He also created a move that sends attacks to opponents blind spots. Calls it World of Ice; whenever he uses it he snaps his fingers and strikes a pose.

What a weird kid.

You on the other hand, decide to focus on your poison and tag teaming with Cerberus (whom you've called Kerby on occasion) and learned that he can jump from shadow to shadow for stealth, and grow twice your size when he needs to.

Focusing on your weapons was an interesting matter, but you first all went back to the basics; How to hold.

How to Strike.

The advanced maneuvers come all from a solid base, and a solid base is made from a sturdy foundation. It was all rather boring to you; but you knew it was important.

So you all trained, forwards and backwards, backwards and forwards. Side to side. Swings and hits.

Soon you were able to carve through dummies with ease, Dominic and Eliza actually doing a bit better than you in this scenario.

Dominic was a whirlwind of death, managing to mix his magic and might in a seamless storm of destruction; even pulling out his revolvers midstrike to blast another clone with an ice bullet.

Eliza was practicing her weapon grapples and combo attacks with Dominic and her spirit partner. Dominic had the strength to throw her several meters; with her being able to jump off enemy heads and walls like a cat.

Your Coordination moves were interesting; to say the least. After brushing up on the last few that you made last time. You concocted a few more, as well as improving your general teamwork and friendship between the three of you.

You all went on a picnic even, a trip with just the three of you.

Well, three of you and Kerberos; who insisted it needed to eat all the pork sandwiches that Dominic had made.

You think it can communicate with the other two; but not the way you do with it.

Then came the expedition; after three weeks of preparation. They came every month unless there was a state of emergency.

You get to choose what mission you wanted this time though

>Siege expedition - A castle is being ruled by a Demon and its cohorts, Go with Captain Stark and another group to eliminate them (hard)

This mission was quite a whiles away. So you managed to talk to your allies while you were heading to the location.

Captain Stark was one of few members of an ex elite corps who serve as teachers in the Academy. He's strange in the sense that he only uses his fists; However he's no stranger to bladed combat, and utilizes his extreme fire magic affinity in order to immolate himself and annihilate his enemies.

The other squad, a group of two lightning users; are more artillery based, preferring to use their lightning from a distance.

Soon, you arrive at the destination. And a group of demi-humans are already waiting for you; their grotesque features becoming prominent to you. There are also signs of an aerial unit, Lesser demon dragons.

This time, it would be a full on fight.

What do you do?

>Let the artillery group and Dominic fire and thin out the ranks first, and defend them from the onslaught

Also, I forgot to mention, that their mentalities will change back after each mission to their defaults (UNLESS I STATE THAT THEIR DEFAULTS CHANGE) but that will only happen after huge plot devices blow up. So Alex is back to The Best and Brightest and Eliza is back to Calm and Collected

Dominic is always a worrywart.

Avenger mode best mode. You need to give alex several ruthless life lessons immediately to make him perma stay in avenger.

yes i want to ruin his smile and optimism for combat benefits, IS THAT SO BAD? If the combat benefits help him save the world THEN ITS WORTH IT.

Idk, because the world is corrupt and full of distress and broken hopes of the people, covered up by every day appearances and false content?

But seriously. I have no idea why you don't draw. Can you draw well? Are you confident in your skill?

>>4127508
I forgot about that. Still best mode, disagree i will Violently Do fucking nothing
