Another Demon appeared besides Victoire, this one controlling thousands of shards of glass along with what appeared to be liquid Darkness. A strong one at first glance, but not a very smart one if he thought Henry was a Human. [color=steelblue]"I'm afraid I don't sing. But the melody of my blade cutting through flesh is quite beautiful."[/color] 

[color=ed1c24]"How do you suppose I should do that now, Avaritia? If there's one being in the whole Nexus that the Machina would never trust this one is me. Actually, I'm surprised they let you in the first place, or that lowlife, indecisive parasite who doesn't know what expertise means —Marrow Edge, is how I think they call him, right?"[/color] Henry nodded and chuckled.

[color=steelblue]"It was a joke Victoire. You'll get it one of these days I'm sure."[/color] Victoire backed away hissing once he released the holy flames of Zak, quite panicked it would appear. [color=ed1c24]"Are you insane, Avaritia? If that fire starts burning this place, you are as dead as I am. Where did you even get that?"[/color] Henry's grin widened and he laughed once more. 

[color=steelblue]"Are you trying to scare me with the prospect of Death? You should know that was stupid, I'll just respawn in Hyperion if I die, just like you'll respawn in Hell! As for where I got them, you must have missed the massive battle about ten minutes ago. I killed the shit out of this Angel specialising in fire."[/color] At this point Henry was merely stalling for time, hoping that his Eyes would heal and that the potion he drank could heal up his hand.

[color=ed1c24]"I know that you are hurt and likely cannot use your Eyes anymore. Otherwise, you would have done so already. If you leave this battlefield, I swear I'll not allow any harm to come to you. Consider it a farewell token, for our former allegiance. If you do not, I guess I'll finally find how does that blood of yours taste."[/color] She summoned several orbs of blood and prepared for battle. [color=ed1c24]"Such a shame I can never give you that reward from Arcadia. You really do look tasty in more ways than one... Alas, such is the way of the Nexus. Make your choice, Avaritia, do you take my kindness, or fight and die for your beloved new High Queen's glory?"[/color] Henry's eyes widened as he began laughing once more, his head dropping as he doubled over from how hard his laughter shook him. Suddenly his head snapped up, a manic look in his eyes as he used his burnt hand to brush his hair out of his face.

[color=steelblue]"You think I fight for the glory of another!? If that was the case I would've never left Hell! I fight because I love to fight and I left because I hate being treated like some shit stain on the ground!"[/color] A pressure began to roll off of Henry, just like in the Oblivion Dungeon an aura of terror formed around him as he prepared for battle. He was a cornered animal with nothing to lose and everything to gain. [color=steelblue]"I WILL NOT BE LOOKED DOWN UPON, NOT EVEN BY YOU BORDEAUX!"[/color] A Gate of Tartarus formed above him and let loose with an uncontrolled wave of holy flames, lighting the trees around them on fire as they rolled towards Victoire and Maen.
