War brewing up (Chapter 10)

Avalon Hillside-Main west region city housing the prestige west royal family-Population: 100,000.

Underground prison-

Drip...drop..drip..drop the sound of water droplets leaked from the steel cell ceiling. "What day is it.." Hissori thought. His legs crossed on stone bricked floor "Am I really a demon?" he stared at the ceiling as water dripped on his face.

"Well seems like you've settled in quite well" a haunting shadow stood towards the rusty steel cell door. The door opened with a swift turn and he peacefully walked in. It was Emperor Kenmei with a smile on his face.

The Emperor looked around the cell observing the dirt on his finger "how ridiculously unclean this cell is. I mean I get it you're an akuma and all, but couldn't the guards clean up a little hahahhha" he laughed covering half his face with his book.

"I'm no demon" Hissori looked at the emperor dead in his eyes while saying it sluggishly.

"Ohhh how foolish of me half demon, the sooner you accept your demonic side, the sooner you will be able to control that deadly Sei of yours" He darted his eyes back towards Hissori, still smiling.

"Now time for me to get serious" The Emperor stopped smiling and presented a stony expression on his face.

"Times are changing for the regions the darkness has been building momentum… and you might be the only one who can stop them without becoming one of them...

Well, you see if my theory is correct I believe that you might be a hybrid half demon half human right now you're in your human state you need to be able to harness the demonic power that is inside of you… if I'm correct when you do develop that demonic state your human side will allow you to control it without turning into a savage losing control of yourself.

Its only a theory and it is a big risk to use you as weapon for the regions. As we don't know whether it will work, it really depends on the decisions you make over time whether you dip into the light or the darkness. However, "what he said next rang through Hissori's head, caught through his memories.

"If you do loose control and dip into the darkness we as the four regions will not hesitate to exterminate a pest like you. Your kind has caused grief to all of us this is our time to push back the darkness and protect the ones we love." At that moment in time, it was silent Emperor Kenmei thinking about his two twin daughters. Hissori thinking about Sinda and Nelen, he had to keep them safe even if it cost his life.

"When do I start?" Hissori looked stone cold and stood up.

"I'll take that as a yes. We thought you were going to need more convincing hahahah." The emperor laughed.

"The Commanders probably still taking care of that Nelen boy hahahah he really showed some promise with all that lightning" The emperor sniggered with laughter.

Hissori clenched his fist all he could think about was if Nelen and Sinda were ok.

"And don't worry he's fine his body is being mended by the commander." Emperor Kenmei stared at his book.

"Right follow me there is a lot to be done, Young Hissori" The emperor smiled excitedly.

Meanwhile in…

Urite grounds-Village in the West Region-Population 4000

Hideki wiped the tears across his face. He had to accept his fate. It was pointless trying to fight the beastly yokai that he lay his head upon it would only result in the same conclusion his brother faced.

His body seeped with nothing, no emotion, no interaction, nothing but hollowness, sooner or later he would join his brother in the gruelling abyss of death.

Hideki lay still and emotionless on Sayomi's lap.

She stopped smiling and stood up in a swift motion. "Now time to get moving… I've got to find it after all". "DAMMIT it is west from here... yeah It must be... the sei trails are still faintly there". Sayomi whispered to herself.

Hediki got up hesitating for a minute before he said something that didn't sound like him at all.

"My fate is sealed I will serve under you, Sayomi." "I will guide you to the Central west region if you're gonna find anything it should be there".

He bowed his head while saying this it was his only choice if he ran, he would die anyway he thought.

Hediki's body smashed into the wall and he gasped for air and grabbed his back in pain. He was in shock at the tremendous power Sayomi.

"AWWW you are cute aren't you, but I'm not looking for a mere human pet to behold this beauty. "Sayomi looked eerily into Hediki's eyes.

"Wait, don't kill me, I can serve you, I can be of good use to you!" Hediki blurted out in fear no this was too early he wanted to devote his life to her why couldn't she understand.

"HEKEKE! Don't make me laugh, not like that you can't". Sayomi fell to the floor, laughing and moaning slowly.

Sayomi seemed to turn into an even more monstrous site, her legs vanished, replaced with a massive spider's bottom half, eight sharp legs appeared, her pupils diluted to become turquoise and her completion changed however she was still ugly and a ghastly site.

She rushed over to Hediki covering his mouth with turquoise coloured webbing. Whispering in his ear "Don't worry my little Hediki honey bun you see you have something I want something I need…" Sayomi grinned with the thought of it. She licked Hediki's face with her long-grasped tongue.

In a seamless motion one of her eight legs came out of nowhere and stabbed Hediki in the chest. She pushed it in further through his body trying to find something. Sayomi's face lit up with glee "yours is nice and warm". The humongous spider leg was searching for The Sei of Hediki.

Hediki had lost consciousness. His eyes rolled back into his head, foam oozing out of his covered mouth.

The Sei was found sucked in fast like a vacuum of some sort it only took a few seconds until Sayomi's appearance changed she was no longer ugly and wrinkly old her complexion changed to be in her mid-thirties her face did not wrinkle, her turquoise hair grown back everything was reversing. Sei was the source to make her look like her younger self.

"Thank you so much Hediki sweety here's my gift to you I'll allow you to serve me"

Sayomi took the leg out of him blood pouring out of the large hole drilled into his chest she got towards the ground and vomited as she did over twenty small spiders with a turquoise bottom crawled out she picked one up and put it in the hole in Hediki's chest.

Suddenly the hole in Hediki's chest healed. The bleeding stopped and Hediki's head lined up as he stood up almost like he was possessed. His eyes opened up wide, his pupils dilated with a turquoise colour he walked towards Sayomi bowing but not saying a word.

"Let us go my children '' Sayomi looked at him and said gently will transforming back into a human. The turquoise void that they were in seemed to disappear replaced by the Urite's street they were in before, it was still pitch black as if time had not even gone by.

They were about to leave at that moment it seemed like all the village citizens walked with Sayomi and Hediki at the front, leading them like an army.

But something strange was happening at a closer glance you could see they were all being controlled by Sayomi, their pupils turquoise dilated.

Urite grounds-Village in the West Region-Population 4000- territory claimed by Sayomi the Jorogumo.
