[center][h1][b][color=A5F2F3]Ghelgath Fenrir Calder-Berg[/color][/b][/h1] [@floodtalon], [@Mega Birb], [@Awesomoman64], [@KoL][/center] The Ice Demon walks slowly down the path towards his castle in a slight brisk of a walk. Ghelgath simply wanted to get home and rest from the atrocity and embarrassment he received during Hohenheim's little game. But there was another thing that kept him from walking in peace. The air here, the aura, it smelled funny. Something major happened to Hell when they left. And being one of the first ones to return to the dark depths, he was completely left in the dark. Maybe King Rufus could explain when he got back, but at this point in time, it seemed like a fruitless possibility. Regardless, he has to get back to his castle. Perhaps his loyal servants had recorded or heard about the events that took place. Whatever they might be... As Ghelgath approached his castle, he opens the icy doors as they creaked open, ending with a chandling cackle of ice. As he walks slowly to his throne, a robbed ice demon servant of his briskly comes to his position. It seemed slightly panicked, surprised at least. But it seemed that it already confirmed Ghelgath's suspicions. [color=0054a6]"Lord Ghelgath..."[/color] the voice hissed in a cold tone, [color=0054a6]"You've finally returned from Hohenheim. I must~"[/color] [b][color=A5F2F3]"What happened while we were gone?"[/color][/b] Ghelgath looks at the servant with a chilling stare. The demon paused for a minute before replying. [color=0054a6]"My lord..."[/color] he says, seemingly with much regret, [color=0054a6]"While you were all gone, a demon rebellion took place here. Without Rufus' supervision they went out in a riot, with the throne now barren and defenseless. The entire demon realm has turned into a battlefield wading in Civil War!"[/color] Another deafening pause. [color=0054a6]"The throne is now in the hands of a new leader. A new Ki~ I mean... Queen, has taken the reins of Hell itself. And the demons here have already gotten used to her... hospitality."[/color] Ghelgath simply scratched his head. The throne was snatched right under the King's nose. He simply laughed at this statement, with the servant looking blankly in confusion. Whoever this "Queen" is, she was indeed one of those power hungry ambitionists. She was indeed ballsy enough to claim the throne... but if she claimed the throne, surely she would have the power to keep it? It wasn't surprising to have every demon fight for the throne, a taste of that sweet luxurious power. Yet the fact that someone actually took it was indeed surprising. Who is this new Queen? Ghelgath needed more information. He turns towards the servant. [b][color=A5F2F3]"And just who is this new "Queen" of ours?"[/color][/b] Ghelgath sassed out his answer through his teeth. The servant hesitated before answering, almost as if uttering the name would result in his immediate demise. [color=0054a6]"Her name..."[/color] he responds slowly, [color=0054a6]"Is Ira."[/color] An eyebrow raises up in wonder. Ira? The name sounded unfamiliar to him. She could've been a well-known figure, but being inside an ice castle in the coldest regions of Hell, sometimes news tends to come to him slower than he wished. [b][color=A5F2F3]"Who is this... Ira?"[/color][/b] he asks in spite. [color=0054a6]"We don't know..."[/color] the servant replied with unknowingness, [color=004b80]"We don't know for sure. She's just some powerful demon really. A monster many call her. She wears a bone-white mask, gleaming with four red eyes of bloody crimson, also wears armor similar to that of what the humans call... a Samurai, with a katana to match. But do not tread on her lightly. Even to Rufus' standards, she's known for being an extremely deadly and skilled adversary. She's rather infamous in these parts. It may take a combined force of united demon armies and generals to take her down and even then, who knows how many loyal followers does she own in her~."[/color] [b][color=A5F2F3]"Yeah yeah yeah..."[/color][/b] interrupts Ghelgath nonchalantly, rolling his eyes, [b][color=A5F2F3]"I get it. Powerful demon warlord, thirsty for power, corrupted beyond repair, yaddi-yaddi-ya... You know, I've sometimes wondered how it would feel to take upon the throne of Hell for myself. Of course, I wouldn't support Hell to its standards, let alone live to tell it to anyone. I hate the heat there and you know it. But Imma just say this... that Rufus is a good King. His forces found me, cared for me, hell they even built a damn castle out here with un-meltable ice. He's a nice guy and I will follow him till the end, no matter how god damn corny that sounds."[/color][/b] He looks out to a nearby balcony window, being barely able to see the horizon road that leads to the Ruling's Castle. A long pause was once again issued, with the howling winds blowing in the background. [b][color=A5F2F3]"So if you're wondering...."[/color][/b] he replies while turning to the servant, [b][color=A5F2F3]"I ain't gonna take the chance to claim it for myself... rather I'll be dealing Rufus a favor. It's time I talk to this "Queen" personally."[/color][/b] The hooded servant's eyes were wide in disbelief as Ghelgath marches towards the front doors. [color=0054a6]"Ghelgath, by the name of Hell's Bane, have you gone MAD?"[/color] he replies to his master's statement in shock, [color=0054a6]"You're going to go at this ALONE? W-What just go in there and tell her to simply LEAVE? You know damn well that she'll refuse that order. She'll kill you! You need to wait until the others arrive and form a plan before you can face her."[/color] The Ice Demon King pauses as he sighs, getting back the composure he needs right this minute. His servant was right. He was getting ahead of himself. He needs to 'cool' down and wait for the others to arrive. His eternal debt will have to wait. [b][color=A5F2F3]"Egh..."[/color][/b] he groans with distaste as he looks back, [b][color=A5F2F3]"Fine. We'll wait for further orders..."[/color][/b] He backs away from the door and begins to head back to his Ice Throne. He plops down in it, his cheek buried in a fist as he looks outside his window and at what was going out beyond. [b][color=A5F2F3]"But they'll need to hurry..."[/color][/b] the Ice Demon King replies, turning to the servant, [b][color=A5F2F3]"I'll need to leave a message. You are dismissed, Grolgius."[/color][/b] The Ice servant, now confirmed as Grolgius, bows as he leaves the scene. Meanwhile, Ghelgath turns to the crystal ball in front of him, and issues a warning message to the homes of his fellow demons, minus the castle that once belonged to Rufus. [b][color=A5F2F3]"Greetings, fellow demons,"[/color][/b] it starts out, [b][color=A5F2F3]"Fellow coldstone and saucy Ice Demon Ghelgath here. It appears that I've been the first to have gotten back to my place of residence. Nothing seems to be too out of the ordinary really... well, other than the fact that we aren't ruled by good pal King Rufus anymore. No... we are ruled by someone else, ehhh, some demon girl named Ira. I honestly have no idea how she gotten to power so quickly... I mean how long were we gone? Just a few hours or so? Ehhh I don't know. She must be extremely powerful, especially from what I've been hearing... But the premise is this... that person has no right to rule the throne. It looks like we need to team up and configure a plan to get rid of her. I suggest coming to my castle in the farthest and coldest regions of Tatarus for a more secret meeting. Might wanna come quick too. Unless you have another better idea, than please notify me immediately. Thank you ladies and gentlemen, and otherwise have a lovely good day in Hell under Bitch Queen Ira... eh whoever she is, ok bye."[/color][/b] And with that the message was sent. Ghelgath now awaits a response to see what the course of action can be...
