Birth of Ideas

Sera
She was lighter than usual, and the small details of the fact that she wasn't breathing, and she wasn't bleeding would be apparent. But also the fact that her heart had ceased it's frantic beating. Her eyes were closed as if in sleep. and she hung limp in his arms. But the last word had been a simple thing. Something she had forgotten until the moment that she couldn't spit out the full spell to regenerate her organs. Upon holding her, he might, being a spirit himself, realize that she had been in physical form during the torture and now was in her spirit form. A form which did not require that she actually breathe to exsist. Having been in her physical form for so long, she had forgotten she was still wearing it through everything, the gauntlet, the time on earth, no wonder she had felt so weak in hell. It was pressing on the physical aspect of her. Since spirits could actually exsist in either of the spirit realms without much pressure in their spiritual forms. A mild discomfort. but nothing more. This would be were the soft blue glow of regeneration would be occurring, and repairing the work. the last breath had been her in her spirit form finally saying the spell before passing out from the strain. The soft blue glow would take a moment to kick in and do its job, but she was resourceful. The body would have died if she had not remembered that she was actually a spirit in the end.

Jack
With what could possibly be noted as a moment of grim relief. Jack lifted Sera up and carried her away back into the throne room to give her a bit of time to lie down and get over the whole torture session. Likely the wounds would take awhile to heal. And the mental scarring even longer. But he had faith she would eventually heal in time. For himself.After placing her down in a mildly comfortable position he sat down on the throne and began to think of things that needed to be done. Things that would come in days to pass.

Sera
After what seemed like forever as the slow process of healing continued, she opened her eyes and groaned. Sera's form shimmered for a second as she suffered a moment of indecision on which form she preferred. Finally settling on the form that required the least of effort. Her spirit form. She sat up and groaned again. The floor was not a comfortable place to lay. And she wondered for a moment why she was here. The crack in the ceiling let her know where exactly she was. Her eyes flew to Jack and she gulped. Those eyes flashed with so much emotion and so fast it would be difficult to catch them all. All of which warred across her face as well those eyes. Acceptance was still there, but so were a lot of other things. Her last ditch spell had work. Softly she spoke the words to begin the slow process of healing herself and glanced down at her arm. the nasty wound still there and would scar over. Her body trembled as she looked at the mess of herself. The only scar on her body. Her perfection marred. Even in the spiritual form it remained. She did not look back up, but continued to stare at the wound as the soft blue glow encircled her and she began to heal. The broken wing repairing itself as well as the rest of the injuries she had suffered prior to the near death, for the second time, at the hands of the demon on the throne.

Jack
There was a lot in those eyes that Jack would rather have not seen. But he tried to ignore everything and continued to let her heal. When she was nearly finished with the process he spoke simply. " Through pain, you have found absolution". A fancy way of saying that she had endured her punishment and now all things between them were set and square. At least in Jack's eyes anyways. Sera might have felt slightly different about that. Not a lot of woman would put up with the torture. But then those were the things that needed to be done. It was the price of baring the love of the lord of the underworld. He rapped his fingers on the cold stone of his throne. " Do you feel better?".

Sera
His words caused her to flinch as if she had been struck. the body was easy to heal, but the mind healed so much slower. She used the power of the spirit and gathered it around her. A change of clothing and a quick clean was all that was needed to look fresh and new. Long gloves covered her arms as she continued to sit there, tucking her legs under her and folding those wings about her like coat of armor. Closing her off physically as an act to try and close herself off mentally. With a gentle flick forward, her long red tresses fell over her face, obscuring it from view. The scar on her arm was too much for her at moment. She was no longer perfect, her pride broken like a glass vase, shattering upon marble flooring. In her mind that lack of perfection causing her to fold inward. She only heard the words Jack spoke. To her, she was imperfect, no long desireable, no longer wanted. It was hard to loose one's pride. She had given up everything for him, her chance at going back to heaven, her heart, her body, her soul. Everything and now her perfection was gone. She had nothing left to give. And it hurt mentally to feel so lost.

Jack
She didn't speak. She just flinched. Jack moved down to her even as her clothes changed. He brought himself down to her level. He didn't understand why she was trying to hide herself from him. was she afraid. Did she think herself ugly? " Why do you hide?". He said quite plainly to her, as if nothing out of the ordinary had been going on. He reached out to take her hand if she would not pull it away. " You are absolved...and its about time...you became my queen". He too stated that plainly. Albiet with some pride lacing the words in his voice. To him, it was a declaration of intent to marry. To her, it might mean something else.

Sera
As he approached and came down to her level, she refused to meet his eyes. Her hand would remain in his and tremble. The wings not being enough of a barrier to keep him from her. His voice, so normal as if nothing happened. She was confused. How could he just forget like that. He had nearly killed her and not even shown a sign of affection, and now was taking about becoming his queen. She was confused and it showed. in the way she held her body and the way she was just limp. A red tear slipped down her cheek as she answered with a voice that was soaked and drowned in misery. "I am scarred, imperfect. No longer perfectly beautiful." As shallow as it sounded, it was the one thing that she had left. With that gone, she felt so unwanted, so alone. So lost. She looked so small and lost. So broken. No pride. "I am ugly."

Jack
He reached up his hand and slid it to be with her cheek. The other remaining embraced within hers. " What happened. Needed to be done. Everything would have been pointless otherwise". He tried to lift her face to reach his eyes. " You always will be perfect Sera". He kissed her forehead, a tender move. As if nothing had happened, as if he had not inflicted such pains upon her. " You will never know ugliness....if it is in the form of a scar, then look at my body...do you find me digusting?". He asked the question plainly, his own body marred with the scars of conflicts on several locations. " You are my Sera, my little bird...and I wish to be joined with you...for eternity".

Sera
His hand pulled on her chin and she gave into his strength. Her eyes meeting his for a brief moment, before sliding away again. He leaned in and kissed her forehead as he spoke. His words only causing so much more confusion. "You are male. Of course you have scars. Females are suppose to be flawless beauties. In all of my..." She hiccuped as she swallowed a sob. "battles, I have never had a scar. Never been marred...." She looked up at him for the first time since she had fallen into this state of mental loss. Those red eyes so broken, the flame that once burned in them, lost to the drowning sorrow, gazed into his. "You are not disgusting, but how could you not find my scar as a reminder, a source of anger, a disgusting blemish that can never disappear?" Then the rest of his words hit her and she blinked stupidly for a moment. "You still want me?"

Jack
With the sob swallowed. Jack pulled her into an embrace against his chest. She seemed so heart broken over this, taking such pride in her own beauty that even a small blemish would make it appear as such a travesty to her. He didn't quite understand it, but perhaps it was a kami thing. Jack rested his head on top of hers. Lips brushing her hair with a kiss. " Because. It belongs to you, and you are far from a blemish". He nearly laughed at her question. " Of course I still want you, I want you to be mine. Now and truly. Forever...you passed the gauntlet. You paid for the crimes you committed. You are respected. Strong...beautiful. A queen to be mine. A goddess to be theirs"

Sera
He had broken her down to nothing taken everything from her and left her with nothing. Not even hope, near death and now he was giving her something else to focus on. He had taken her and stripped her to nothing and rebuilt her. He was giving her something new. A new beginning, a sense of worth and pride. And like any female, she gripped that little bit of pride with all ten talons hooked in tight. When he gathered her into his arms she sniffled and snuggled against him. "You are serious? How could they respect me? I'm a Kami. A being of order. A far cry from them." She pushed back and looked up at him for a moment her hands on his chest. "Are you.... are you... offering marriage?" That was not the way she had ever thought she'd be proposed to, but it worked. His queen forever? A goddess to them? That was a new start on life. She had hope that perhaps she could make her home here in this dark place. Her eyes glanced up for a moment and around, "Jack... You are a demon of pride.... why is this place still in ruins? And no bed?" It was a hesitant smile as she teased him gently, trying to over come the horror of the past hour or so. It was a start.

Jack
" They respect you more than nay other kami for the ability to survive on your own out there for days. For returning with a fresh kill. Even more so they know you did so whilst injured". Jack held her closely, and nodded in confirmation as she asked about marriage. " Yes, if you would accept it. I would take you as my wife". He looked ot the side for a moment as she mentioned these things and for once Jack finally broke free of the reign of demonic pride within him. Perhaps it was the fact that he was no longer purely a creature of pride. " I...I love you Sera". He said, the words for a demon were difficult. For humans. For kami. Professing love was easy enough, the creatures after all were beings with love directly entwined into them. Demons however, were not. They were made up of the negatives. Love rarely came into the equation. " Well. Perhaps...". He said, smirking briefly. " It just required a woman's touch"

Sera
His emotional statement meant so much that everything in that moment was forgiven. As she wrapped her arms and her wings around him. She held him tight for a moment, the sound of multiple feet padding on the stone outside the room. She looked up with a feral snarl,"I warned you morons" and eyes alight with the fire of judgement. In an instant, a spell past her lips,"And the rivers ran with blood" (Rivers of Blood) and hit the hallway outside causing those approaching to scream with the burning of the area of blessing. After the spell she smiled and snuggled back against him. "I know how hard that is for you. But understand this. I already gave you everything that I was. So now I will give you everything that I am." Her voice rang with the oath she was giving him. "I love you Jack, with everything new I am, with everything I will become. I would share my life and eternity with you. Forever, heart, mind, body, soul. "

Jack
Her answer was pleasing to his ears. Knowing that everything had gone along smoothly from this little session with her, the proposal and of course his ressurection and defeat of the glutton Jack would have liked to have said. " Well toots. Looks like an era of peace for us!". But that wasn't going to be the case, for one he doubted this Kami friend of hers who had vowed to destroy him would much be leaving them alone after this. That and well, peace was more or less impossible in hell. Well. Unless they conquered it. That left a lasting thought. Conquering. All of hell. Jack wondered just whether or not he and Sera actually had the man power or personal power to do it. And rather than it be a resounding no. It was left unanswered. " Wonderful". He said to her. softly. " Best start the preparations then".

-773-

Sera
She was held in the moment and was brought back to the land of reality by Jack's words. If only he had known where her mind had taken her for a brief moment. It had been along the lines of what to do with herself. How to make herself a home out of hell. How to go about being somewhat normal to her. As a being of Order, she liked peace for the most part but knew it was impossible here in hell. In fact she that just might be something. Jack had called her a Goddess and perhaps she could take that idea and instill some order around this place. Rebuild this place for Jack, make it a place of pride. But did she have the respect of these chaotic beings and did she have enough of them be an influence. She would have to do some researching to figure this out. And to do that researching she would have to find the one being that knew more about instilling order than anyone else. The only other fallen Kami. Abaddon. She would have seek his council and help. But would he help her.

Then Jack's words brought her back to the now and she smiled up at him, "What kind of preparations would that be, my heart?" That faraway look in her eyes fading as she waited for his answer before jumping the track of this train of thought. "Jack? What if I told you I wanted to become a true goddess about the demons?"

Jack
Jack thought for a second about what she was talking about. Becoming a true goddess among the Onikonjou? Was such a thing even possible for a Kami? Humans be sure yes, they were such an ignorant race. But a goddess among demons. Well he didn't know if that was actually possible. Demons were beings of strength and negativity. If she was going to be worshiped she would need to become strong, stronger than belief in mortality. Stronger than Jack was now. As Jack stood, he was the opposite of what Noah was considered in the heavens. Jack was an arch demon. A terrible duke of this forsaken land that ruled a portion of it with fear. But even lords were still mortal. Could still be killed. To ascend above that level would take considerable effort. Effort and ruthlessness. " Is that so?". He said almost to himself. " Well, then we have much work to do you and I".

Sera
"Well, I have been thinking. This is my home now. So should I not try to etch out a rightful place? You are the Lord of Pride. Should you not have someone by your side that is just as feared, just as respected?" She leaned up and captured his his lips in a gentle nip of a kiss before looking up at the ceiling. This was a lot, one of the very first overtures she had made on her own without thinking, just naturally displaying her affection. "A lot of work," her nose wrinkled, "Perhaps we could actually rebuild this place so you r seat of pride would be just that, Pride shown. But I do think if I am to be worshiped here in hell. I need to find the only other Kami I know of that has fallen this far. Abaddon, the destroyer. Perhaps since Jonah is so good at his sneaking around, he might know where that Kami may be. I do not wish to leave at the moment." She looked back to him and smiled innocently. "Abaddon is like me. Able to wield the 7 judgments of heaven. He's just rather... dark about it."

Jack
" Abaddon you say?". For some reason the name had a familiar ring to it. But after some thought Jack decided to give in at attempting to remember where. " I shall have him look into it". Her kiss was as it always was, warm. He could barely believe that only an hour previous he had actually destroyed those lips. But then perhaps it was for the best that he had. These regrown ones were free of betrayal. New, like their engagement. " I would not be against it. In fact I did attempt it at one point. But as you may know....Well actually I don't think I ever told you that story..". Jack stroked his chin. " There was an enemy here in Barathrum Regnum....one that I discovered shortly after becoming the Lord of Pride....it was the demon of Gluttony. Of hunger. Now I must tell you that among our kind, the strongest was regarded as Pride....Gluttony however is...an abomination...there have only been 2 known Gluttons in the past....it occurs when a single Onikonjou is powerful enough to kill and devour thousands of its own kind....eventually the hunger for power and flesh manifests...consumes them...till they become a mindless soulless monster, capable of only feeling the hunger that drives it....I connected the clans of Fear, Rage, and Sloth under the banner of Pride to combat this enemy. I trained myself and my armies for the sole purpose of defeating it, for had we not stopped it here. Surely it would have emerged in Terra eventually....the enemy I left to defeat and kill..the one who in turn killed me as I killed it" He looked down on her. " Was that very epitomy of hunger...during the war with Hunger, any who came close to it became too consumed by the hunger, hunger thralls...who constantly threatened us...thus...we have had no time or resources to build".

-997-

Sera
"So in short, we have to gain the resources to build. Perhaps we can do that and at the same time improve your army. A little bit of order to this mess of a place would go a long way to helping you. Now that this powerful Oni is destroyed, you do not have a goal, do you, my heart? And no goal to focus all of this power you have as well as the power of your army, will end up with the ranks of your army infighting. Thus destroying the army and your clans in the process. So perhaps a plan and goal is just what you and the rest of your army need at the moment." With that said she unfurled her wings from around them and slowly struggled to rise. She was sore and stiff, such was to be expected. A slight limp was visible as she took a step back from him, offering her hand to help him rise. "I believe if we are to restore the Seat of Pride as well as gain resources, I should start finding some followers. But First, I need to find Abaddon. He's use to walking the line between chaos and order. And can help me better understand the task I am trying so foolhardy to undertake."

Jack
"Hmm". She had thought of most things, true. Perhaps it would be good to bring a little order to the chaos. But then again the chaos is what made them strong, survival of the fittest. But then again perhaps they could have some form of controlled chaos. Chaos within their own lines of law. Rules in hell. It was an interesting suggestion. " Very well...we must find you this Abaddon....". Jack reached out with his dragon tongue power and touched the mind of Jonah. " Jonah" He said into the Fear Lords mind. " Join us in the throne room". He felt the compliance of the Lord of Fear. Jack looked at the door then at Sera. " Jonah is on his way".

Sera
"How do you do that?" She asked softly, tilting her head to the side. "And does Jonah know of your proposal?" Jonah unsettled her, most likely because of the aspect of his power as a demon. The Lord of Fear was not the Lord for nothing. That and the fact that she was under the deeply ingrained belief that he didn't like her one little bit. And that could be a problem in the times to come. But if Her and Jack were going to be together, she had to accept him. BUt that didn't mean that she wouldn't be looking over her shoulder. Her feet took her to the side of the throne to await Jonah, wondering if Jack would assume his seat on the symbol of his power. Her Wings disappeared as she waited.

Jack
Jack merely stood his place. He wouldn't sit down in the presence of just one of his generals. Jack did after all have control over three clans and three...well four lords. Fear, Sloth, Rage and...well Madness. He had enough respect for Jonah to treat him with some level of equality. Some. Not complete. But some. The Lord of Fear walked into the room and looked up at Jack and Sera. Jack folded his arms and Jonah looked over them both. " You summoned me?". Jack nodded. " I'm afraid I've decided to make that final plunge". Jack said in a tone that was almost depressing. He then snickered. " Me and chicken wings are getting married". He gestured over to Sera, the yellow glint in his eye for a moment sparking brighter than the red. Jonah merely nodded his head. Not seeming to care much one way or the other. Jack then continued. "We're going to be looking for a Kami, one named Abaddon...Sera...give him the description and what you know".

Sera
She started at the name of chicken wings and blinked. Was that some strange joke on his part or was he renaming her. But since she didn't see the spark, she did not know it was anything different. Sera let that go and tried to smile at Jonah. It was a weak attempt. Her hand coming up to run through her loose hair. Oops in all that fuss of cleaning herself up, she had forgotten to put those red strands back into their normal twin pigtails. So for once, the length of her hair fell to below her waist. Witha sigh and a bit of a blush she spoke up, "Abaddon is an archangel. Typically wearing a white robe with the hood pulled up. He tends to enjoy placing the judgment plagues upon the humans of Terra." She turned her head and looked away from them for a moment, "Abaddon is like me, a fallen Kami. Only more powerful. He has been walking the fine line of chaos and order for a long time. He tends to judge those based on their purity not their sins." At the end of this, she looked back to them.

-882-

Jack
Jonah's face twitched at the mention of the word "arch angel". Yet it wasn't what you'd call a bad twitch. But rather one that indicated. Amusement. " Abaddon, I've heard of him". He started, walking up towards Sera, Jonah at this stage would be testing her fear levels. She was nervous from what he could tell. Perhaps worried about how he would react to the news of her engagment. " I do not keep tabs on these...archangels...however....Kami aren't really worth watching....not capable of much bar the magical side of things...but I guess they had to have an answer to our Arch Demons...". It was at this point where the similarity between Jonah and Jack would be seen. Each rather elitist about the idea of Oni superiority to Kami. " I will have my men find him however...they cannot hide from fear".

Sera
As Jonah approached, Sera watched him uneasily. The fear she was fealing was a mixture of things. and not really fear, more like uneasiness. The fact that she was in hell was unsettling enough, the fact that she was trying to find away to make herself a home out of all of this and carve her little nitch to be with her soulmate. So in a sense it was the fear of failure and letting Jack down that drove her right now. "Abaddon is considered to be more like an Oni than a Kami most of the times." Was Jonah slipping a knife into her ribs and trying to twist it with his words. Her anger flared for a moment at that thought. She took a step towards the Lord of Fear and the sound of crackling flames could be heard softly. The step was slightly menacing. "Not capable of Much?" A smile, that one could call evil, spread across her face as she took another step towards him, her body coming within inches of his. She most like had to stand on tip toes as all the fear in her was wiped, those wings sputtering back into existance but instead of white, they were a deep red and looked as if she about to shift into something else entirely. "I can show you not capable of much, if you would like or rather the opposite." The transformation was lurking under the surface as heatless flames born of the fires of hell themselves began to creep up those blood red wings. "I can always bless you, My dearest lord of fear. And show you what it means to fear someone not capable of much" Sera had grown stronger on her trek across hell. And now she was angry enough to show it. But she held the transformation in check for the moment.

Jack
Jonah's face remained stoney. Unmoving. It would seem that despite Sera's show of power he was unmoved. The Lord of Fear, seemed immune to fear. If one had known Jonah then they would know that the man very rarely showed any kind of emotion whatsoever. Jack often refering to him as a statue. " As I said...". Jonah turned his back to her and walked past Jack giving just a brief nod. "...Not much...beyond the magic stuff...". Jonah would leave the room. His orders were given, Jack looked over his shoulder at Sera. She had tried to inspire fear in the Lord of Fear. A nice attempt but a bad first target. " Interesting transformation my Queen". The first time he had referenced her thusly. " However, I wouldn't try to use fear to make Jonah submit....the man is a statue...he must respect you, not fear you....but you'll learn that in time".

Sera
"Not quite the transformation that was birth in the flames of this place, but I am trying to keep my anger under control. What will it take to gain that man's respect? A sword to the testicles?" Then the red faded as she released the bent up energy and breath she was holding. For a moent she just shook her head. "I do not like him. And the feeling I am sure is mutual." Then the anger was gone completely to be replaced with a sad look. " Oh Jack, how am I ever going to fit in here? You ask a lot of me. But because it is you, I was willing to literally travel the length of hell to come back to you. I have been willing to live by your rules, how ever chaotic they are. But there is one thing I can never do. I can never be an Oni. So to them I will always be weak."

-827-

Jack
Jack shook his head and laughed lightly. " Jonah finds the ideas of Arch Angels amusing. However, keep in mind that your goal is to transend the status of a Kami, already you have proved yourself as strong as an Oni, so Jonah respects you that much. As do the rest". He moved over towards his throne and sat. " To gain Jonah's respect and loyalty. Build this place. As much as he doesn't look it, Jonah is a family man. He respected me because I was a capable leader..and he'll respect you for providing a home for his people". The answer there was simple enough. " Become a goddess..become a leader...and you won't be weak...besides....An arch demon would never choose weak mate"

Sera
"Liar, silver tongued, sadistic liar. You chose me." she stuck out her tongue out at him as she plopped down on the floor in front of him and pressed her back against his legs as he sat on the throne. Her head tilted back as she sighed. "I will get stronger. I will build this place back to the way it once was. No to a splender that will surpass anything that is even seen in heaven. A wonder, a beauty, a fortress strong and mighty. Something worth of your pride." Her eyes burned with the twin flames of righteouness and the fires of someone with a goal set. "You know, I never really had much in my life until I met you." Her lips pursed in thought as her head rested against his lap and she gazed up at him. The symbolic nature of her sitting on the floor with her dress pooling about her , leaning on him was an artists dream. The Lord of Hell with his Fallen Angel.

Jack
Jack smirked and laid back. His hand finding its way to her hair, to press against her head and tangle his fingers in among it. He listened to her, and believed that if she indeed had the will and the belief that she could do such a thing. Then it was not beyond her grasp. What was that saying, Mans reach should always exceed his grasp? If so, if godhood was within her grasp. What was it that lay beyond such things? Philisophical points that were barely here or there. " So". He said after it was all said and done. Her head rested almost comfortably against his crotchal region. He looked down at her. " Wedding. When and where do you want to have it?".

Sera
Sera's neck in the position was exposed to him, an easy kill if he reached down and desided to end her life. It was a statement of trust at this moment for to be in this position with him. At his question she beam one of those secret little smiles that brightened up the room. The smile that was reserved just for him. "Well for that, I would not know where to begin. Who would marry us? Also, since I do not have anyone to invite. It really does not matter to much. Now as to the when, depends on when is the best time for you. I can work around anything. There are smaller details, like the reception and if we will have one. If it will be large with the entire army there, or small and just a few of us. Who will marry us since we are two opposites? So many questions to answer. Myself, I have to worry about who will give me away since I have no one, really that I could invite. No father, no brother, no family. And really no friends that would come." This idea brought the smile off her face as sadness crept into the facial features. Her voice was dripping with sorrow as she closed her eyes.
"Sad, how that works. I am alone save for you. At least you have Jonah and the rest of the demons." Her eyes opened and she tried for a weak smile. "I have you and that is all I need." Kami were by nature social creatures. Emotional, and very much involved in the relationships they had with others. This feeling, she would have to adjust to.

Jack
It was strange. Kami were social creatures. Oni were the opposite. Individuals, lone wolves in their own right. Yet here they were, two creatures going against their own nature. In themselves creating a form of chaos among the normal order. " Then I suggest that we find Abaddon soon that you might have company....and I'm sure not all Kami have remained as they were....perhaps there are more fallen than one would think...". Jack continued to stroke her hair in a sensual manner as he spoke. " I have the demons loyalty and respect. Yes. But friends among them I do not. Nor do I seek such companionship among my kind....I need only their subservance". He tilted his head at the thought of who would marry them. " Well its simple enough if we just disguised ourselves as humans and did it the traditional way".

Sera
She chuckled at his last comment and shook her head against him, causing friction as her head gently rubbed against his groin. His hands in her hair were a sensual treat. Like most females, she enjoyed having her hair stroked. It was calming and arousing at the same time. "I do not need Abaddon for companionship. I have you. And when not with you, I will be busy enough with the goals in mind. And yes there are not as many as you would think. But there are a few. I can list them all. But Abaddon is the one most versed and the closest to me. Both of us were destined to sit the thrones of judgment. metaphorically speaking. So I can learn from him. He is a loner though. As to the wedding. We could, but we'd have to find someone who could not sense either of us as spirits. Otherwise the temple and priests may drive us out for the sheer fact that it is an unnatural union." She thought on this for a moment and could not come up with an answer. "But it could be done. I will eave that up to you." Her eyes continued to gaze into his, those lush red lips inviting and almost pleading forattention that was not punishment.

Jack
Jack looked down at her and grinned. " Well its easy enough really, most humans can't actually tell the difference between a Kami and an Oni..the spiritually aware only know we are spirits...beyond that as long as our appearance matches the point....". Jack at that point used the magic of mirrored eyes to shift his own draconian appearance to one that made him look like a kami. Albiet a rather dark one. He looked similar to how he had, but with no horns. Longer hair as normal. But rather than his draconian arm and wing. His arm was tattooed. And his wings. Were full, six of them. Black as the night sky. Mirrored eyes. The art of illusionary false input. A technique Jack was most proud of. He petted his lap. Inviting Sera to climb up onto it if she so desired.

Sera
Sera watched as she shifted and turned to where she was kneeling between his legs, her arms resting on his lap. She watched his transformation intently and smile. "Wonderful. Me, I just assume the more human look of me. I tend to stick out anyways." As he petted his lap, she climbed onto it, her light weight settling into the flesh that was Jack. Like a kid on santa's lap, she sat and leaned into him. "So we pretend to be humans and sneak a wedding out of it. That sounds a bit like eloping. I will let you handle the details. Surprise me. Oh and I have to find a gift for you." Her slender digits reached up and tapped her chin in thought, "What could the Lord of Pride want for a wedding gift? Oh and rings."

Jack
" Rings?...well thats easy enough". Jack knew that if he found the proper metals he could easily craft two using his metal magics. As she climbed onto his lap, once again comfortably settling on his crotch. This time however causing a swelling within his loins. " Indeed, eloping together. Albiet its more eloping for yourself than me". So she was going to let him handle the wedding. Interesting " Alright, I'll do that..in the meantime I suppose you can develop things here". It gave her time to do her work and speak with Abaddon if she so required it. As for the gift. He wondered whatever she meant. " I already have everything I need Sera". He spoke wistfully.
