Realization & Black Edge Castle

Cipher made his way over to the truck where he found a fully furnished shower unit, which was extremely space-age, everything seemed to be automatic and from the moment he stepped in the only thing that Cipher actually had to do was undress and redress himself. After finishing up Cipher took a moment to relax on the bench that he found nearby.

(Large sigh)

Finally, I feel like I can breathe now. I really didn't expect to get ahold of both the Demonic Power Immunity and the Control Immunity so soon, I was sure it was going take me a couple of years of saving up to earn just one. Now that I don't have to worry about someone taking me over, I can focus on other skills and abilities. I will worry about that later though, for now, I need to figure out what I need to do next. Axel never told me how I would receive my assignments just that I needed to go to Future City

[Dem] ~ I know you were talking or thinking to yourself, but since I can hear all your thoughts I figured I would provide you with an answer to your query. I will be the one that provides you with the assignments since I am able to communicate with the Goddess of the Void when she allows it.~

Taking a moment to think about what DEM had said, some questions popped into Cipher's head. First, if DEM could speak with the Goddess directly did that mean that Cipher could too. Second, Cipher had realized while sitting on the bench that he had no money. Actually, was there even a currency in the Land of Dreams? It was somewhat comical to think about, but in all the times that Cipher had gone to the town to get supplies during his training, not once did he pay or use any type of currency at all.

Cipher found it odd, why did he not once consider paying for something? DEM ~ that is due to the Land of Dreams. It is actually a very detailed process would you like me to elaborate on or provided a simplified version? Cipher scratched his head and allowed the weight of the head to give way and fall to the side, {can you give me the simplified version} DEM ~ (Of course, the Land of Dreams is a world where those that are in it can realize their dreams. Someone that likes to cook or bake can obtain the materials from those that dream of procuring them. Items created and left alone unused without an owner eventually depreciating and disintegrating, the energy then returns back to the world to be used again. There is a lot more that goes into, so I could go in-depth, but that is the simplified version.)

I still find it a little hard to follow but it is fine, so to sum it up I just need to find a hotel or something and they will just let me stay? DEM ~ (Yes, in some situations they may ask you to help them with a task as compensation.) Due to Cipher holding a conversation within his head, he was oblivious to the person that had been slowly walking up to him. Tank having gotten a moment from all the patients decided to go check on Cipher. While Tank knew that Cipher was probably fine he wouldn't feel comfortable untill he went and checked himself. Making his way to Cipher, Tank could see that Cipher seemed to be lost in deep thought, he looked like a philosopher staring into the sky as if to contemplate the direction the clouds may take.

[Screaming Forest]

Near the Metallic Forest outside its metal boarders is a place where the screams and wails of the deceased could be heard. Here no animals could be found only creatures that sought to kill anything that may accidentally wander in. This place is called the Screaming Forest and if you travel far enough you will find a Black Castle situated on the edge of a cliff. A flock or mass of crows could be seen from the distance fluttering high in the sky around the blackened castle as if to blot of the sun. There in the depths of the castle's interior sat a creature wearing a red cloak with a hood that covered the bird-like skull that rested on its head. The creature that sat in the skull adorned chair was known as Screaming Harbinger. The Screaming Harbinger was a creature that brought chaos to an area with death following shortly after.

Crow King ~ Have we completed the weapons needed for the upcoming massacre? Raze is not the type to wait so make sure preparations are completed soon. I want to be prepared in case his time frame moves up, it isn't usually the case but better we are prepared than caught with our wings in a trap. There a small figure with black wings and a distorted face could be seen, its beak a pitch-black onyx color. The ugly creature's name was Mud, the name was derived from where the Crow King found the creature, which as you can guess was in a puddle of mud. The Crow King had just brought destruction to a nearby city and had lost a portion of his army, feeling some ruth looking at the creature he took pity and had the creature brought back to Black Edge Castle. Looking at the Crow King, Mud could only nod his head.

Mud ~ Yes, my liege we will make sure that preparations are completed ahead of the initial schedule. Is there anything else that you require at this time? Crow King~No, just make sure everything is on track and we are prepared for the next massacre as soon as possible. I want to be prepared to move within the next six months, I have a feeling that Raze's patience may not be able to hold out for an entire year. Well, we will see if Raze can hold out in the meantime we will prepare for any possible changes in the timeframe.
