[quote=Krein] Apollyon considered Kami's offer. She was a cunning and sly individual, it was possible that she would simply use him to further her own ends. If there was anything Apollyon hated, it was being used as someone's puppet. Such a reason was why his symbiote had been stripped of its will through dark magic rituals until it was nothing more than a mere enhancement to him.Still.... the prospect of a new world to conquer...Kami couldn't exactly do much without his power if she was going to be invading a new world. There was also the fact that even though her forte was manipulating governments and other political things including the economy, Apollyon placed things wholly under his rule and the nature of his true realm. There would be no need for money, and only his word would be law.Both of them would seem to benefit from an alliance, and Kami did seem to be someone who held up her word at least somewhat. Why not?"I suppose you have the beginning of an alliance here... now... what about this Abaddon?" [/quote] Kami smiled, and put down her cup. "He's being dealt with as we speak. I have sent Wiper after him, with orders to retrieve him alive. Although he is no doubt a dangerous opponent, without the advantage of Sheold there really is no doubt that Wiper will be victorious. I'm sure you yourself are aware of her skill in this matter." Kami stood, as she walked up to Appolyon, smiling. "However, there is a trust gap here. You see, I've made these alliances before, and in the end one of us is going to become paranoid, and try to kill the other. As this is completely opposed to my goal, I would prefer to stamp such throughts out. As such, I would ask that you let me kiss you." Kami smiles, as she moves her face closer to Appolyon's "Either I kill you, and your demonic hordes rip Fear to pieces, or you remain alive, and we know we can trust one another. If you wish, In order to, in turn, demonstrate my trust....." Kami reached behind her back, and something clicked, as her diamond-lined outer gown fell to the floor, leaving only soft silk, and her throat completely bare. "Either this alliance will work completely, or it won't. I put complete trust in you, and I expect the same from you."
