16 Introductions.

As King and Amara entered their state of meditation Azazel spent his time focused on this paperwork. He hated to do paperwork, but it was the downside of having a faction behind him. So he activated his battle perception to that he could move faster.

He stamped, signed, rejected, and burned up through his entire pile in just a few moments. When he got finished he sighed as he looked over to the couch where King and Amara were in their meditative states.

He could feel they were drawing in mana in waves toward themselves and between each other. Azazel could not help but observe as he saw them do that.

'A Soul Contract?'

When he got done with his paperwork he stood up causing King and Amara to stop. They both exhaled after holding their breath the entire time. Azazel now was extra curious.

"You can tell me if you want, but what is King? I have never seen a creature so odd like him."

"He is an Abyssal. He is not from this reality so he looks odd. And if you are wondering how I got him, it was a fluke. I was trying to summon a Demon from Hell to make a contract and instead, I contacted him from the Abyss."

Now he truly wanted to know more.

"Summoning a Demon takes a lot of skill and instead you contacted a never before seen Dimension. Do you remember what you did?"

Amara shook her head.

"No, I was 5 years old when I did it. It was a lucky summon as I believe I wrote the summoning circle incorrectly or something. Me and King here are linked soul-wise so we grow stronger together."

Azazel now was glad that she joined his side at least. Grigori and the Devils were on better terms than with Heaven.

"Anyways, I will have to introduce you to my friends for the time being. Oh, and what will your parents say about this?"

Amara shrugged.

"I have no clue. This is the first time I have run away so I don't know their reaction. But, I believe they will not react well."

Meanwhile, back in the Gremory Estate, the maids and butlers were running everywhere searching for Amara. Grayfia and Sirzechs had seen Riser flying so they were looking for Amara. However, when they could not find her they sent the maids and butlers to look for her.

Currently, Sirzechs, Grayfia, and his parents were waiting for any news about her location. Sirzechs sighed.

"Where could that girl have gone?"

Grayfia had an idea.

"Do you think she ran away?"

Sirzechs paused as it was likely.

"We can't be s-"

Just then a maid ran in with Amara's dress in hand.

"SIR! MADAM! I found the young misses dress in her room. Her armor and battle attire were missing as well. Even the sword the young miss uses from time to time vanished."

Zeoticus wanted to sigh.

"It seems she has run away. Where could she have gone to?"

Souji entered the room as he had an idea.

"Obviously she ran to the Forbidden Realm. Before I brought her home she spoke about how she wanted to stay with her parents, but I think you two ticked her off. No disrespect though."

Grayfia and Sirzechs looked at each other with bitter faces. Sirzechs especially.

"She played us like a fiddle. I knew she would not apologize without a motive."

Grayfia covered her face.

"But why now? Was it what you did or what I did?"

Souji shrugged.

"Don't blame yourselves. It's just that you two don't really understand Amara very well. She does not have the heart of a Noble. She has the heart of a warrior and her sense of humor is dark. She probably felt you two were going to try to force her to change. But now that she is gone, we will have to find her.

She and King are strong, but the Forbidden Realm is no joking matter. There are things that live on the border that can even fight gods. And knowing her she will seek them out even more for battle."

Zeoticus fixed his hair a bit.

"The Forbidden Realm is ever expanding. Finding her will be impossible if she truly does not want to be found."

Souji had an idea.

"How about not searching? If we let her do what she wants, she will eventually come home."

Sirzechs was not happy about that.

"But what if she never does? Anything could happen out there. She is only 10 Souji."

Souji raised his hand.

"And she is a Super Devil like you with Energy of Destruction, Grayfia's Glacial Magic, and she has been taught by me, Surtr, and Matters. She will be fine and back eventually. This is her version of a tantrum so we got to ignore her. And before we know it she will be home safe and sound. Besides, no more punching incidents for a time."

Sirzechs decided to try to contact Amara first.

"Give me a moment, I will call her to check."

---

As Amara and Azazel spoke she felt that communication attempt. That made her pause as she turned to Azazel.

"My dad is trying to contact me. Anyway to prevent this from being tracked?"

Azazel pushed a button on his watch which caused a green aura to surround the room.

"There."

Amara nodded and answered the call.

"Hello."

"Amara. Did you run away?"

"Yes."

"And why would you do that?"

Amara paused as she thought of an answer.

"Simple, I don't really fit in at the Gremory Clan. I love you guys, but I can't stand Nobles. I despise being around them so for a time I will be on a trip through the Forbidden Realm. Me and King will be fine, but as you know it is impossible to teleport in or out of the Forbidden Realm and so is communication."

Sirzechs sighed.

"Any chance you can come back home?"

"I will. But not now. Tell mom I love her, but stop with the dresses. Tell Souji I will miss his training. Love you, but I am entering now."

She looked to Azazel who increased the power of his field causing the communication to break in an interference type of way. With that out of the way, Amara sighed.

"If only they did not expect me to conform to Noble bullshit they would be perfect parents."

Azazel nodded.

"I can imagine. For now, come with me. I will introduce you to my friends. Then I shall take you to the Forbidden Realm myself. If I can make a way to communicate back an forth I can send you supplies while you send back materials you find inside. Can you wait that long?"

She nodded.

"Of course. You are the one who agreed to take in the child of your enemy."

Azazel scoffed.

"Devils are not my enemy, Heaven is though. Besides, you saw how I-"

Just then Azazel stoped talking when Sirzechs began to call him. He looked at Amara and raised a finger to her.

"Sirzechs, how can I help you?"

"Azazel, I helped you with your defector, now I need your help."

Azazel paused for a moment before he spoke.

"Help with what? Did a defector run into my territory this time?"

"No, my daughter has run away. I wanted to check if she entered your territory."

Azazel looked at Amara and denied it.

"My territory is large Sirzechs, if she did I would not know for sure. I met her when Souji helped me and I gave her a card to contact me, but she has not used it yet."

"I see. If you know anything, please help me before she enters that place. I will be in your debt."

With that done the communication was cut which made him chuckle.

"You running away sure will cause trouble."

King jumped on her shoulder as she followed Azazel out of his office.

"And I am ready for that trouble."

"I hope you are."

As led Amara and King into a giant room where several men and women were waiting. They were all the higher-ups of Grigori and they all looked at Azazel, Amara, and King.

They all observed Amara carefully as her aura said she was a Devil. Her unique triple-colored hair brought attention. Kokabiel snorted.

"Another one? Where did you find this Devil now Azazel?"

Azazel raised his hands.

"Her name is Amara, daughter of Sirzechs and Grayfia. I met her not long ago and she decided to defect over to Grigori."

Hearing that made them all feel surprised. Kokabiel glared at Amara.

"I bet it is a trick. I say we hold her for ransom or send her head back to her parents."

Amara smirked as she looked at Kokabiel.

"And who is going to take my head? You? Because you don't have what it takes."

Kokabiel summoned a large sword of light in his right arm.

"You little bitch, I will-"

She did not even twitch as he rushed at her. Azazel sighed and was about to stop him, but he and everyone else saw a shocking thing. She only tilted a bit and totally dodged Kokabiels swing.

Before he could react she reached out and her hand gripped tightly around his neck. She slammed him down on the ground as her full strength was put in her grip. Kokabiel let go of his sword as she began to choke the life out of him.

Her Abyssal Sword was stabbed next to his head as her eyes icy silver eyes stared down at Kokabiel who was choking to death.

"I heard stories of you Kokabiel. And it seems they were not lying when they said you were a weakling."

She let go of his throat as he took several desperate gasps for air. She looked up at Azazel and apologized.

"I am sorry about that."

Azazel shook his head.

"Don't bother, he had that coming. But you sure have some strength to you."

She smiled as she flexed her arm.

"Of course I do."

Baraqiel smiled as he looked at her.

"Impressive. I bet your parents are most proud of you."

"I hope they are sir."

Just as she was talking Penemue walked over and ruffled her hair.

"You are so damn pretty. How old are you?"

"10 years old last month."

That made them all stare at her. At just 10 years old she choked Kokabiel unconscious. But she was the child of Sirzechs and Grayfia so that had to be expected. But she was TOO damn young and tall.

Penemue knew that Devil and Fallen Angel girls began to mature young, but Amara did not seem so. Her chest was still flat as a board despite the armor, but she was huge for a 10-year-old girl.

"Are you sure your 10?"

Amara nodded.

"Yes. I know I don't look it, but I assure you I am 10."

Armaros smiled as he looked down at Kokabiel. He was never a fan of that war monger as he much preferred to be heroic.

"Your display of strength was most impressive. And thank you for knocking that fucker out. If you had not done it, I would have."

Azazel agreed.

"Agreed. He is beginning to be an issue. But, how did you do it that fast."

Amara decided to explain.

"Simple, I am a Super Devil and I have been training since I was 3. Someone like Kokabiel who does not seem to train at all was easy to take down. Mom once told me that she almost killed Kokabiel, but he had to be saved by you and Baraqiel."

Baraqiel nodded.

"That was true. He got cocky and challenged your mother to a duel which he lost. If not for us finding out he would have been dead. And now, you her child almost did the same. If that is not fate, I don't know what is. Welcome to Grigori child.

If Azazel welcomes you, I welcome you."

Shemhazai agreed.

"I feel we have much to learn from each other."

She gave him a polite bow.

"I agree as well sir."

With introductions out of the way, Azazel spoke up.

"Alright, Amara won't stay very long in Grigori as she is heading for the Forbidden Realm. For the time being her status is the same as Vali and Raynare. In that time, she will be my student, and if you all wish to teach her you are welcome to.

As soon as I can find a way to communicate and teleport things in and out of the Forbidden Realm so we have some time. Clear."

"Clear."

(I always AU Raynare. Also, thanks to the comment made me want to come back to some of my on-pause stories. Before I start a new one I wish to finish the ones I started.)
