Reese sat in his room for an unknown amount of hours starting at the Crystal. Basically fantasizing about the time he'll have with Cythlla. Of course the thought of her sanity popped into his head Noe and then but he didn't care. He was determined to fall in love with her no matter what. Before he could return to his fantasies a loud knock gained his attention. The knock was followed by a familiar voice. "Father! Rubie and Emma sent a runner ahead and said they'll be back with the 100 squids within the next hour!" The man outside his home shouted. Reese stood exiting his room making his way to his door. "Thanks for the update Lapis!" He responded opening the door to the male imp that was present at the meeting.

Lapis saluted and was about to exit the premises until he was stopped by Reese. "Lapis! Before you go can you escort 10 of our worst prisoners to the woods south of the city." Lapis nodded and did as he was told not questioning Reese's request even though he was worried. When Lapis was out of view Reese disappeared back into his home changing into his combat clothes putting away his formal attire. Before leaving to the woods he retrieved the Crystal and brung it with him. He arrived in the woods before Lapis did and decided to set up the surroundings like a shrine. The Crystal being the center of the shrine. It wasn't too long that Lapis approached the site accompanied by 10 imps with not so welcoming expressions. 

"I want you to let them free and leave the woods..." Lapis was confused about Reese's orders and hesitantly did as he was told. As he unshackled the last of the criminals Reese spoke again. "Please tell Rubie and Emma my location when they reach the city." Lapis nodded one last time before leaving the scene. When he believed that Lapis was far away enough Reese starred at the criminals with an odd smile on his face. Some of the criminals weren't happy about the looks they were getting. Shortly after the brief awkward silence Reese began to spoke. "I have a offer for you criminals..." He caught their attention quickly. "You'll all get your freedom if you kill me." He stated with a smirk. Him killing the criminals in self defense was reasonable and not all suspicious.

There was a short silence while the criminals thought of the offer. Soon they rushed Reese believing numbers will male them victorious in battle against Reese. Too blind by freedom and a hint of blood thirst they weren't aware of the sudden beating that came their way. 3 of them easily being swept of their feet and killed in the blink of an eye. Before one of them could recognize what was happening they were dead. Most of them with holes blown through their torsos'. All that remained was one and he knew there was no escape. Closing his eyes regretting every decision ihe made that led him to the situation he was in now charged towards Reese. Waiting to end his life for a greater purpose Reese stood clenching his fist readying himself to make swiss cheese out of the imp.

Surprisingly to him the imp that changed him was stopped by several arrows that pierced through him like he was paper. As the imp fell to the ground dead the sound of armor raddling slowly approached Reese from behind. A light feminine voice came from the armor that soon stood beside Reese. "F-Father are y-you alright....?" Emma asked her shy tone not fitting the current situation. Reese smiled. "I'm safe my child thanks to you." He patted her head and she smiled at the feel of accomplishment. "Me and Rubie have the 100 Squids Father!" Emma cheerfully shouted showing Reese a large bag stuffed with the 100 squids. "Woah and you carried that here by yourself! You're getting strong!" He complimented her taking the bag from Emma. She saluted and left from the woods leaving Reese. A deep and long awaited breathe escaped Reese's mouth as he piled up the corpse of the criminal imps. He then put the bag of 100 squids next to the corpses and began to worship the Crystal. "NOW ARISE MY BELOVED!"
