A surprise.

*Crack*

I place my arm back into its spot, the brief pain fleeted away as I pulled myself up and out of the wall, dust-covered my surroundings as a small smile crept across my face, I made eye contact with Oni, mouthing "Can you smell that?"

The Oni looked at me confused, instinctively taking a breath in, I recognised the look it then made, I have made it myself a lot, the Rotten Vale, was filled with that smell, the smell of death. The Oni slowly began to grab at its neck, blood appearing around the stomach of my brother as their body began to rock slowly before falling onto the floor.

I slowly walked toward them,

*Squeak*

The sound of chairs moving made me turn and glare at the other presences in the room, "You will not intervene."

I snarled, my eyes had turned orange, not that I knew that at the time, theirs did too as they all sat back down, surprised and angered, it was as if their bodies were ignoring their minds.

I walked up to Oni, his face slowly turning blue as he failed to breathe, "The gas is colourless, it wasn't when I first encountered it"

I say as I flip the Oni over, "You have two choices here, die or leave my brother's body, go back to your mortal body, take your queen a message from me."

Using his free hand the Oni tapped the floor, I took this as him choosing to live,

*Click*

With a loud click of my fingers, the Oni stopped choking to death on the floor, "Separate yourself."

A large shadowy gas separated from my brother, appearing next to him, it stood over 6ft tall, its crimson red eyes staring directly into my own. Still, the Oni struggled to breathe, as it snarled "The message."

"The game has gone on for too long, the hunt will end soon."

The Oni shuddered as it vanished from where it was standing, as I felt its presence leave, I knelt down to my brother's side, pulling out a small bag of powder of Life, I covered his body in it, healing his wounds.

"I will need one or two days off from school starting tomorrow."

Sona instantly broke free from my hold on her, "You literally arrived today and you want to leave again? No. Explain the control you have over us, Explain your powers."

A small laugh escaped my mouth, turning away from the devil, I began to walk towards the door, "I have places that require my attention, this has already taken a while, I need to reunite with my lovely mother."

*Cough* *Cough*

Micheal awoke with a splutter, sitting up, he spoke to my back, "Please don't kill mother, she tried, she was only trying to hel-"

"Her Oni would have killed me, if not for the assistance of a God, I would have died, depending on how you looked at it, I did die."

Proceeding to leave the room, I gently shut the door behind me, before teleporting into my home, what greeted me made me flinch, pinching my arm, I asked" You're a girl!?"

(Raj's appearance, if you know you know.)

(Siberia, Russia, ??? Pov)

"Are you sure that it was what he said? That the hunt is now?"

The Oni shuddered under my intense stare,

"Yes my queen, he made it sound as if he were on his way as we speak."

As I sat on my throne, I pondered my life, since the Oni queen entered my body, I have had food and shelter plenty, I have prospered along with her race.

"Tell the guards to get ready, the Greeks will send some Demi-Gods to help protect us, they should be here soon."

The Oni looks up at me, pity could be seen in his eyes,

"I'm sorry you have had to sacrifice yourself to the God of Lust my queen, it is our lack of strength that has forced you into this situation."

I shook my head,

"It was the original Quenn's fault, in fear of the prophecy she caused it, we shouldn't have tried to kill the kid."

'You are showing weakness, we are better than that, the Hunter will kill you.'

*Bang*

The door to the throne room was flung open as Aria walked through, The Predator's mother, she looked indifferent as if wasn't her son we were about to fight,

"My son will use that weakness to rip out your heart your majesty, I do not deny that your more Human tendencies have served us well however now is the time to bury that as far down as you can. My 'Son' used power beyond what I can comprehend when he stopped our ritual."

I sighed, "Make sure the defences are ready, we made need to hold him back until the Greeks can show, Aria I'm placing you in charge of the outer wall."

The Older woman bowed "He will die by my hand, your majesty."
