Khaos Demon Awakening

Merlin woke up in the morning, his stomach growling and his mouth dry. He woke to see that he wasn't in his room, remembering the events of yesterday and that he was now living in his school dorm. He went into the bathroom to brush his teeth, not realizing that everyone had left out early, and that he was already late. He rushed into the shower and got dressed so he could go eat breakfast, and found that Ollie was waiting for him. His gaze seemed to fix him in place as he gestured for Merlin to come to him. He noticed that Ollie looked entirely different. He had his white hair in a small ponytail, his ear piercings were gone but he had one in his nose, and he was an entirely different beast. Ollie gave Merlin a small kiss on his nose, and held his hand gently. "It's nice to meet you. I'm Ollie Bastion Abraxas. Though some call me Bunga. I'm a polymorph vampiric werebeast, so I don't really stay the same beast for too long. I'm so glad to have you, you'll learn so much under my personal care." he said before heading into the dining room. Merlin didn't know why some random shapeshifting werebeast would be into him like they met in a past life. But he was too hungry to think much about it as he went in to get some breakfast.

As he ate, he noticed that Zemlima was also in the dining hall and gulping down egg and bacon sandwiches, grinning as he did so. Morgan watched, wondering how someone can eat that much so quickly and not need something to drink. Ollie sat next to Merlin closely, making spell tags using blood red energy, and then adding a drop of his own blood. "These are for you. Part of your equipment. We'll get your outfit, gun, and-" he was cut off by Merlin's astonishment. He never needed a gun, and he already had a scythe. What else was he going to need, especially from someone he met that used blood magick and kissed his neck on the first day? Ollie smiled, slipping him note that said "Tonight, come with me". Merlin was confused, not sure if he wanted to listen to this note. Especially with someone who used magick on him for no real reason. He just burned the note and went back to eating his breakfast, ignoring Ollie completely. However Ollie wasn't willing to leave him alone yet, so he sneakily sunk into Merlin's shadow to observe him. Merlin finished eating, and went to a training room, and made his outfit change into a tank top and shorts. He summoned his scythe, and suddenly some strange humanoid puppets appeared. Their limbs extended rapidly, covering over 30 meters in a single burst, claws extending from the fingers, and flooding with a paralysis curse. Merlin's eyes went pink, and in a swift fluid motion, he slashed the arms into chips, then used the centrifugal force to gather energy for a barrage of energy bolts. The puppets changed tactics, running around in an erratic motion, making afterimages in an attempt to confuse him, but Merlin used the momentum from his spinning scythe and slammed it to the floor, creating a massive field of stone spikes to trip the puppets, and then summon a a massive flaming claw to tear them apart. The movement was lightning fast, and Merlin wasn't even tired, so he put his staff away and repaired the puppets back to normal. Ollie was watching from his shadow, and was slightly impressed with his skills, but with magick, he was unimpressed. He emerged from the shadow, and he had a spell tag. He used it to summon a spirit made entirely of shadow, and it seemed to just linger quietly. Merlin was stunned at it, and was prepared to attack, but realized quickly that he wasn't going to do much to a two dimensional spiritual being. "Make a pact with it. Believe me, it'll be a benefit to you." Ollie said, pointing to the shadow spirit. Merlin just looked at Ollie in annoyance, wondering why this weird werebeat vampire was following him around, and left the room. However the shadow, and Ollie, kept following him around. Eventually Merlin was getting angry and tried running from him by running up buildings and slipping through alleyways.

Once he felt like he got a good distance, he stopped to rest for a bit. But then he noticed that there was someone else following him. He pulled out his scythe, but he then saw it was someone different. It was a short wolf beastman with just a black shirt and blue shorts. He walked up to Merlin and grabbed his hand. "Sorry about this." he said as he began to teleport Merlin somewhere. Merlin couldn't react in time as he ended up in a bar of some sort, and the only one there was a black panther in a blue button-up shirt and jeans. "Oh hey you. You're Merlin yeah? Have a seat, I'll fix you up a little something." he said. Merlin had no idea what was going on so he went to find an exit, but ended up in a hallway, and the smell of blood permeated the walls. Merlin walked down the hall slowly, feeling a strange pressure from all around him, and the smell getting worse for some reason. He then froze, breaking in a cold sweat and his teeth chattering. Behind him was someone with an intimidating aura and a cold stare, his breath billowing steam and the cracking of his knuckles sent shocks through Merlin's body, screaming for him to run away. "Your name. Now boy." the man said. Merlin was unable to talk, his voice caught painfully in his throat, so he made a spike from the floor to stab himself in the foot, using the pain to make him move away. He ran swiftly, not willing to engage in combat with whoever that was, and sprinted down the hall. However the place just seemed to extend endlessly, no matter how fast Merlin ran. The person who was behind him, suddenly grabbed his neck from behind, gripping it with such force that it felt like it was going to snap at any moment, even with the chrome hardening. "I said. Give me. Your name." the man said. Merlin just blasted fire from his fingertips, but it didn't seem to do anything as he was starting to black out. Just then, power surged wildly through his body, making a shockwave that blasted the man back. Merlin's entire body was tingling with a strange power, yet he didn't even seem conscious of it, or the fact the energy manifested into demonic wings and horns. He slowly walked forward, and the man grinned, showing off his pure silver vampiric fangs. His full visage was on display, a lion beastman with an undercut, a black longcoat, and ripped jeans. "That's what I like to see boy. A devil ready to-" he was cut off with a blast of concentrated energy, launching him backwards so fast he didn't see it coming. Ollie ran into the hallway, standing in front of Merlin with nothing in his hands. "Easy Mer Mer, relax. I know I got on your nerves, but you're not ready for this power yet. Now close your eyes, and rest." he said softly, using a hypnotic spell to make Merlin fall asleep. Merlin suddenly collapsed on the floor, snoring while the energy vanished. "Alpha, please, don't do that to him. He's new, underdeveloped. I'll take care of him." he said. His alpha brushed off his shirt, and returned the hallway to normal, and he picked Merlin up. "This kid is who you got a boner for? Well, fine. Just know he better pull his weight. Take him to his room, have his equipment and mission ready by tonight. Oh and, let his parents know that Silver Gabriel will take care of their little kitty." Gabriel said after giving Merlin to Ollie and walking off.

Ollie sat in an room with Merlin with nothing but a tv, mattress, and a closet, waiting for him to wake up. He then started to trace his finger down Merlin's stomach, feeling his soft skin on his dull claw. "Someone's a little softie. I wonder though." he said to himself as he felt Merlin's chest. He felt Merlin's heart beating, and his devil core humming softly. He enjoyed the sensation, and then pressed his ear to his chest. The sound of his heart beating made his tail wag. "Such an adorable mage. I wonder if you'd...ever consider a date." he silently asked, not expecting a response. Merlin slowly woke up to find Ollie resting his head on his chest, and he kicked him off, looking to see where he was. "Okay, fess up vampiro, what the hell am I doing here? And where even is this place?" Merlin asked, not willing to hear any jokes. Ollie explained that they were in a mansion close to Thelema, and that he was just resting his fatigue. "Look..I'm sorry for being a pain in the neck. But, I really want to see you grow and improve. Not in a "I want you to defeat me" way. More of a "I'm interested in you" way. I can't say why but you just interest me. So, if you want to stay, you can stay. If not, I understand." he said without a hint of sarcasm in his voice. Merlin thought it over for a moment, but he agreed to stay with the group, provided he isn't choked out by their alpha anymore. He looked to the side to see that he had a new outfit to put on, and it seemed personally tailored to him. "I'll leave you to get dressed, and I'll take you on a mission. Hopefully your friends are going the same way so they can see your new clothes. Oh and, you should probably look into puppet making. Could come in handy." he said before exiting the room. Merlin just ignored that last part, and started to get dressed.

His outfit consisted of a pair of loose false-two split-joint wide-leg pants, mid-calf boots, fingerless gloves, and a sleeveless longcoat with a flame pattern rising from the bottom and a hood. He stretched a bit, liking how the outfit felt and looked on him, and went out of the room. "Well well, someone's sexy. But I think, a little beast would make you look cuter. Anyways, we got a mission to investigate a dungeon. I'll take ya. Oh and, if you see any gemstones, pick them up, they're valuable." Ollie said and went outside to a car. Merlin followed him, wondering if his friends were gonna be there waiting.
