The Hell Knight stops and turns around to see the green Frog following him to his surprise. What was he doing here following him? [b][color=9e0b0f]"Oh,"[/color][/b] he speaks calmly as he puts his hand by the corner wall, [b][color=9e0b0f]"Fancy seeing you here my little green friend. How long have you been following me?"[/color][/b] Regardless of what answer the frog would give, probably being in a nervous and/or terrifying panic mode, Mephilius simply shrugs at whatever response he gives out. [b][color=9e0b0f]"Doesn't matter now."[/color][/b] he answers blatantly, [b][color=9e0b0f]"You are welcome to walk with me if you want. I'm just taking a stroll down here while listening to the cries of the damned."[/color][/b] With that, Mephilus turns the corner and continues walking down the hallway. He looks at the prisoners that were locked up in the cages live savage dogs. Some were clawing at the bars, attempting their foolish attempt to rip the Knight limb from limb. Others are either found curled up in a ball at the far end of the cage, muttering incoherent noises as they succumb to madness or crying on their hands and knees. Both sides were rather entertaining to say the least. On one hand the knight basically taunts at those who want to rip his guts out, but can't, while also taking pleasure to hear the weeping of the week. Yet his facial features never change to show it... at least not in public. Then he hears a random feminine voice reach out through his head... or no, that voice is actually being publicly announced through the entire Nexus. Mephilius takes a pause to listen to what is revealed to be Helena's voice before it vanished completely. A way out of the Nexus? This time of day being the only chance to leave and say an eternal goodbye to the Nexus as a whole? What may lay outside the boundaries of this realm...? Before he can think about it anymore, the Frog verbally told the voice to go to sleep. Mephilius' train of thought came back down to Earth as he easily shakes the mental thought out of line. He's going to have to deny that offer. Even if he wanted too, he doesn't even think anything can be good out there. Not about what horrid creatures may lay beyond... but the fact that it may feel disappointing once he reached there. He's lived in the Nexus for slightly over 1200 years and has indeed seen his home realm rise, fall, and back again from the ashes. For normal people, it would be unbearable, but for Mephilius... he doesn't mind or care, as revealed in his previous conversation with Ghelgath. Besides, maybe one day someone will invent or conjure up a spell for anyone to leave the Nexus and into the world beyond. It may take years, decades, centuries, millennia, thousands of years or more... but it didn't matter to the Hell Knight. He's staying right here... at least for now, either to his death, or once when someone invents public travel between realms. With that being said, Mephilius continues walking down the hallway, looking at the prisoners without compassion or emotion. By the time he reached the middle section of the row, he then catches the eye of one particular figure. Inside the cage, chained to the floor, was a large robed figure. It's hood prohibited the knight to see the character's face, but he can tell by the aura and the wings also chained to the ground, that he is an angel. A plaque can be seen on the top of the cage, reading the name [i]"THE FLOWER OF DEATH"[/i]. Mephilius was quick to recognize who it was. Sabium Flos. Frontline Captain of Heaven's Guard. "The Flower Of Death" as the legends proclaim him as. The demon had never seen the angel in person, given he usually stays in his own castle mansion during the war, but he has heard legends here and there about his existence. However he got caught is a mystery to him, but nonetheless pleasing... enough. The man didn't seem to show any signs of madness, though its expected given that he's an experienced captain. Still it was rather disappointing. He inspects him for a little while longer before speaking to him. [b][color=9e0b0f]"You've seemed to make yourself comfortable here."[/color][/b] he states insouciantly to the Angel, looking at the plaque for another second, [b][color=9e0b0f]"Hmm... You're the Flower of Death. I've heard much about you during my absence... and now I see you here, your petals withering away with the rest of the lot. Tsk... a shame to see such potential being wasted here..."[/color][/b]
