The Room was Empty, Dark, and silent waiting like a child waited in sleep only to be awoken by the cries of their own needs. The walls were clean, and soon enough light began to fill the room. A fireball came drifting down the hallway as it would separate and fly off into different corners of the room as it began to alight torches within the room. As light graced the halls it was obvious this was a war room, maps of Heliohapt, Tartarus, the free lands, and the Parthevian continent were all on it with figures representing each force and major figure.

From the end of the hall something could be heard, steps, and then soon enough the wraps of a mummy would come through. Masika, one of Jynx's lords would come around and sit down at a table. She began to pull out some scrolls before finally looking down the hallway like she had been expecting something.

"Well you three, I hope you aren't going to leave little old me waiting, we have much to discuss." Raspy, yet seductive her words called out into the darkness inviting her compatriots to come to join her. "After all, things are changing all too quickly."

With the meeting beginning to find out where Tartarus stood with the other groups, Lagi felt like it was his responsibility to be there. He was also excited to meet up with his lords and introduce them to his other comrades. It was unfortunate that eight couldn't attend. However, Julius was there, and there was a newcomer that was traveling with Julius.

"This way, my lord.
"The table awaits, father. "


The two Sogaxod clones were escorting Lagi to the head of the table as they stood side by side from where Lagi was placed. The immortal guards were determined to protect Lagi from harm, while Lagi himself gave a respectful nod to Masika.

"looking as beautiful as ever Masika, I'm glad you can join us today. Have you seen the others?"

Eager was the words Julius would describe himself to be this day.  After all, he was going to meet the officials that worked along and under Jynx, a man he had agreed to be friends and partners within Kina. The two had become Avatars with each other due to the power they held and displayed then. Sadly, they had both grown so vastly in that small amount of time, and their ideals growing closer together.

Julius made a swift looked around his room making sure he had all he needed for the meeting. Of course, he wore his Dark Metal Vessel and carried his diseased god fang on his hip. His Samurai armor covered his bones, and his Mask laid attached to it.  He quickly made way down the hallways until he reached the war room, he trailed in just behind Jynx by a few minutes.

"Greetings all. Julius said giving a small bow to all from the doorway.  He then found himself a place to lean against the wall until all parties were ready.

The young girl definitely felt out out place upon entering the room, but she found someone she recognized inside that made her expression lighted up. "Good day, Gashadokuro."  She greeted the skeleton man, but her eyes would quickly shifted towards the other man. She tilted her head to the side like a curious puppy, but she made no remark as she doubt she was allowed to talk at the moment. Well, she could just try and be informal, but even her could feel the enormous power emitting from the men and she just wanted to be careful.

She tugged Julius' sleeves before asking, "Is he the one we will be assisting?"

As all the parties gathered together in the war room Masika smiled, first at the site of her overlord and second at the appearance of promising comrades. The mummified magician could see a similar aura to the one her leader had, except a bit different due to Jynx's unique ways of achieving power. The woman would give them all a moment to make acquaintances before she would start rolling out a map of Heliohapt.

"My lords and lady, Welcome, Now let's get to business, we sit at a unique crossroads at this time during the war." As Masika spoke she pulls out some figurines and set some on the dark continent where Tartarus and the fighting between the Slaves and nobles took place, and then put another few figures on the Parthevian Sub-continent, a giant peninsula long contested between Helio and Reim that has become a hotbed for independent and bandit activity. "Not only do we control the old capital of Heliohapt and its strategic and economic ports, but we also hold a high amount of anonymity."

The words might've seemed a bit confusing to where she was leading, but as she pulled out some scrolls and handed them off she would let out a soft chuckle before continuing her speech. "In other words, we sit in the middle of a war that can go any way with a defensive, economic, and even diplomatic advantage as no side knows much about us,  they don't know about the cause of the capital being taken over, so we have the capability to take any path forward here."

"You know my strength is people my overlord, and I believe this is an opportunity to indoctrinate more into our cause as well as gain allies which we could use as buffers, or whatever you wish."

"In all honesty, the best thing to do if we truly desired allies would have been the slaves. They have the most to lose, probably the most cooperative and appreciative if they needed the power and the assistance. What happens if we defended ourselves defensively and the slaves were overtaken? Well, they would be recaptured and the leaders would be executed. It would be a hard-fought battle, but with what we have access to, we simply won't be worth the resources for the royals to try to conquer. Inaction is the easiest way out of this war, but I was thinking that if we were to claim half of the land of heliohapt and leave the other bit for the heliohapt rebels. They would be more willing to take such a deal."

Lagi would then stroke his chin as he hummed over it.

"The bandits are unpredictable, conflict might be inevitable with them if our goals won't align. They can be left alone as a disruptor for both opposing sides, pressure for the royals and the slaves if they need convincing. We can also crush them if they get out of hand. The risk has to equal the reward, so we show them it's not worth it and see their reaction. Our might can be focused on the royals to eliminate them from the battle. There is truly nothing they can offer us to ensure their survival. Indoctrination is easy for those who believe that the evolution to the higher state of being a dungeon beast is the path made for them. Most former slaves have untapped potential, but they can be so much more. Humanity is what made them slaves, so they should abandon their humanity and become freer than ever by accessing their true selves. So far, that's what immediately came to mind."

The Avatar of Kina looked to Lady Higan as she greeted him. "Lady Higan, glad you could make it. Yes, this is Lord Jynx, The Kigan of Tartarus. A friend. " The meeting would then start, Julius listened carefully.


Julius listened to the words of his fellow Dungeon Beast, the King of them as it were. "If that is the actions you wish to see through then I would suggest aiding the Slaves either directly or indirectly. Directly would be to offer them a parlay, speak your offers to them, and send a force to back them against their biggest threats, the Royals and Nobles of Heliophat. I'd personally see this through if you wish, though I understand I am not an official member of your government. I thank you all for allowing me and Lady Higan here to even take part in this conversation. As I was saying though, an official can travel with me, I can ensure safety to and from with the power of Zoran and my magic. No one is faster than me, this is a fact. With that in mind.

The Skeletal Lord took a moment as if he were taking a breath but it would be just a pause to allow those in the room to take if what he said. "Indirect support might be the better choice. While I have no doubt I can handle a large-scale assault on my own and with a few of your Dungeon Beast at our side victory could be well with grasp, but offering them aid in resources is also a strong option. I doubt we have time to help train them but I think we could possibly lend them arms and armor for their fight. Coming with the cost of partnership later. If all fails after the large war I can always fly over and cast a plague or sickness spell over them and wipe them out after.

When he was done he looked around the room waiting for others to chim in with either questions or ideas.

"I see." She tilted her head, her cat-like eyes took another look at Jynx, curious about him.

The catgirl would take her time to listen to all the difficult conversation. Well, she was not uneducated, but all this talk was hurting her head. She lacked this kind of knowledge so she didn't really know what to say or even how to give some of her inputs. Then again, she was her own teacher all this past years. The only thing she learned from other was how to fake everything.

Higanbana smiled cheerily when everyone finished talking, "If we don't have time to train them, then we can just make them desperate enough to fight, no?" The girl giggled, "People has basic instinct and they will fight if they are desperate enough to do it." But she would cover her mouth as if something popped up in her mind. "Oopsie, I mean we can just motivate them." She laughed sheepishly while scratching the back of her head.

She would stand up before bowing towards the lord of Tartarus, "Even though I am not capable, please let this humble Higanbana to aid you, Jynx-sama." She would give Jynx a cat-like w shaped smile, "I can assure you that I am a good executor."

Masika listened to her lord and his allies with great reverence as her haunting eyes locked onto them and never parted until they were done with their own sentiments. When it fell upon her once again she took a small breath and gave a slight nod to them all in acknowledgment before she shared her own thoughts.

"Excellent thoughts, on the matter of the slaves might I offer a third option of support?" She said while pointing to the map, to Tethis where the Slave capital had been kept. "Being indirect and direct both have advantages so why not do both, offer a secret alliance where if needed we can reveal to the world, or keep secret to the benefit of both parties depending on what the situation demands?"

The former slave spoke with the disposition of a learned person, however, this was just the weight of her personality combined with how her role in the government has shaped her during their time of nation establishment. With her ever-peering eyes moving around the room she looked to see the opinion on everyone's faces before they would share the thought of her own ideas vs their movements going forward.

"Of course my lord I will support whatever action that is decided and put all my skills and resources to further that plan." Her words punctuated with a half-bow as she looked upon the map thinking upon all the possible choices they had in this theater of war known as diplomacy.

Most of what Lagi did was listen before his response. Even though he was bitter about certain outcomes and promised himself to not foolishly put himself out there for the assistance of others, he had to think strategically. For the sake of Tartarus as a whole, picking a group of people that was easy to control was smart. Derailing any ideas of physical altercations against Lagi and Tartarus for now and the future made the idea manageable. If they would rather be friends and work together with the dungeon beasts, that was something that Lagi could accept.

"Ok Julius, you can go. But not alone, you can take some of my forces with you to protect you in case they get any ideas. What we want is a showing of strength, but also serves as a deterrent to any ideas of thinking they can take you out or hold you, hostage, after helping them. As for your comrade, I need a favor. "

Looking to the catty-like woman, Lagi called out to Sagaxod in order to start to approach her. "I need some blood, there is something i'd like to check. I have my reasons, but this power is complicated. If you can help, i'll heal the bite mark almost instantly. I won't feed directly if it makes you feel better, Sagaxod will. But it's your choice. " It was embarrassing to outright say that he was hungry and wanted someone "new". But he tried to maintain his self respect and the respect of the comrade of his trusted friend.

But regardless of the answer, he looked over to Masika.

"A secret alliance to test the waters.....hm......sure. It would be nice to test their goodwill with such an offer. Let's go with this then, something to be agreed upon directly with the leader of that group with their consultants and no one else knowing to prevent leaks. "

Julius nodded understanding the meaning behind what Lagi was saying. When Lagi asked Lady Higan to give up some blood he stopped to see what she would do but knew Jynx wouldn't dare do anything to her someone Julius brought in as a comrade and friend. Julius would move his head down to her. and whisper. "Fear not this man, he is a friend, a term I do not use with anyone. However, I will back you in whatever you pick to do. " With that bit said he waited for her to make her choice and let Lagi continue as it seemed he had more to say.

"Very well, though I would feel better to be alone. But if you insist then so be it. As far as extending a helping hand what do we have to offer them in aid? Rather, what do you wish to offer them besides their lives? I only ask as this is not my land nor my resources to offer. I will take what you give me and either return with news of an alliance, or news of a destructive blow to their forces. I think you should prepare a letter with your seal on it so they know the offer is one of the true intentions. That would be all he had to say on the matter, once he got the information requested he would move on if there was nothing else to discuss.

Julius was sure there was more to discuss, though If Jynxed wished him off to see this done at once he would move out. He was eagered to test something out in battle.

"Hey, he won't be alone if I tag along with him! We're buddies after all." The catgirl giggled playfully as her glistening crimson eyes made their way towards Julius. But to be honest, Higanbana never expected that the skeleton man's friend would be crazy. She wondered if he had a kink to ask people to give him their blood. Well, people would freak out...mostly. But she was also out of her mind! So she could safely say that great minds thinks alike?

Even the male magician assured her that Jynx wasn't a bad man and that he was his friend! What a day, that stoic man had a friend... then again someone like Hyperion had a friend as well. She created a mental note to not judge the book from its cover. "Hmm, sure. But what will I get in return~? I don't think only healing the bite mark will suffice. I have a lot of scars myself and the bite mark would be just another addition." She would say to Lagi with a rather psychopathic expression. "Ah, I'm not trying to be rude, your majesty. But people have been taking a lot of advantages from me. Being a generous king like yourself, you would not ignore a plea from this little helpless girl, wouldn't you?" She snickered as she wait for the man's answer.

The discussion of the lords in Tartarus was one that could have larger impacts in the war where there were many forces and a stalemate that needed to be broken. This was the thought that went through Masika's head as she listened to them, happy her skills had proved useful, and knew that she had helped push them to an opportunity to push their nation to greater heights regardless of the outcome.

"That sounds good my lord, so let me make sure I have the plan right for the sake of planning." She said as she pulled out figurines that she placed upon the map representing Jynx, Higanbana, and Julius. "So, Julius and Higan are traveling to meet with the slaves to broker our secret alliance, and are you going to stay here my lord continuing your work with centralizing Tartarus control and setting up communities?"

There was a small look on her face, it wasn't one of doubt or indecision rather it was one of excitement. Inside of her head, she was eager for their work to continue, but it was also obvious she was feeling eager about something else as well. It was that she wanted to work more herself to put herself to use for them to put her skills as the same charismatic woman who had lead droves of dungeon beasts towards the capital all to bow down for him. It was a look of devotion where she found herself in awe of the moment and the figures that were around them.

It was a bit funny, even as the exchange of blood was about to happen she just looked over at them and thought that there was soon to be another grand sight for her as she kept her eyes on them, peering eerily through her bandages.

"Yes, I'll be holding the fort. However, a person such as yourself Masika, as a famed liberator, is also a presence that would be required to reinforce the wills of the people living in those communities. No matter what, in addition to the safety of the people of Tartarus, we need to maintain the reassurance that their safety would not be compromised as a consequence of the warring humans around us. I trust that you would be a good image for our people as usual, so I trust you with that. "

If she was eager to prove herself, Lagi would use that. Masika was quick to accept who she was and she stood up for dungeon beasts just like her. Even Lagi admired and respected her, he only hoped that it would come across that way in the sense of how much he valued his comrades.

As for Julius's companion, Lagi nodded at Higanbana and sniffed in her direction using Orie's danger sense.

"From your smell, I can tell that you're a fanalis. Not really a candidate for a long-term stay but with Julius's approval and your service here today, I can allow you to be able to stay in Tartarus for an indefinite period of time. Usually, the transformations will happen on their own, but if you don't have it in you or your true self won't reveal itself, I won't hold it against you. Secondly, it looks to me that you are a beast tamer. I picked up the scent of another animal. I'm a master tamer myself, even though I specialize in dragons"

After saying that, Orie appeared behind him, looking at the girl.

" I can teach you for free. If you have any issues with such a thing, just ask julius who taught and trained with him in regards to his dark metal vessel, it is also me. Knowledge is the ultimate gift if based off my experiences alone, and I have plenty to offer you Huang if you would rather have money than all of that, I can also prepare that for you. 50,000 huang for a single bite. Now then..."


Sogaxod walked over and took a quick bite of Higanbana, tasting her blood, about a C rank amount. Lagi then used Orie to heal it by using outer cell repair, creating a black tentacle hose, and spraying with a healing goop that started to repair the damage. After that Sogaxod started to smile as its body overflew with infernal energy.

"Master, I'm almost "complete", I can feel it."

Humming to himself, Lagi took out the bleeding claw and scratched himselfand started to feed Sogaxod blood in that manner.

"This should be enough....you guys are in for a good show. "

It seemed the plans for him to set out were cemented, Lady Higan would be coming with along with some of Lagi's men. He was not sure why Lagi issues people to come with him as Julius had proven himself capable and Lagi knew firsthand a fraction of how Fast Julius could be. If needed he could always Zoran step himself away from danger. Without a shadow of a doubt Julius fully thought he could handle an army alone, he had spells for these types of things. For now, all that remained was to see if Lady Higan would accept something that Lagi had offered her, and let him feed. He didn't care if it happened one way or another. Once Lady Higan made her choice, if nothing else would be needed of the Duo, Julius would scan the room once a more making way for the door.

"If there is nothing else for me I would like to head out once those you task to come with me are ready. Lady Higan, make sure your pets are ready and well watered and fed before we set foot out of the safety of the city. " He wasn't ordering her, but giving her a reminder. There was no telling what might happened as they moved towards their goal.

"Alright, that's fine. I can do some blood donation." The white haired girl answered before she turn to see Sogaxod, there was no smile on her face, just a pair of curious eyes. The moment Jynx's underling take some of her blood, she would feel a stabbing pain, "Ugh it definitely feels weird." Koinu would also growl, not liking how his master got bitten, but stayed quiet as soon as Higan signaled him to stay still.

Her wound was healed instantly by the weird looking creature and she wouldn't lie but she felt she got dragged into some sort of freak show band. Although, she was one of the freak show too so she couldn't really say anything.

"Alright, besties." The catgirl responded to Julius after he reminded her to feed Koinu, basically telling her to get ready before the big show. "Koinu is always ready though." The floating dog would wrap his long torso around Higan's waist, still feeling protective because of the blood donation.

The sanguine ichor fed to Saxogod from various sources had been flowing in his body, and as fresh blood flowed into him it all began to pool within him. Deep inside of his core, a crimson glow started to appear, and then a viscous substance began to flow from every pore of his already obscure biology. It coiled and spun around him as it began to harden into a chrysalis as a large crimson crystalline structure sat there like a blood diamond blooming in the middle of the room.

"Well this was unexpected,"
Masika said as she ran her hands along the side where the grooves were, carved in the same direction the substance had woven itself. "I wonder where this going to go."

As she spoke to herself she walked around it and looked back at Jynx before giving a soft nod to him letting him know she had heard his request, having been stunned briefly by the events she had forgotten to respond to. With a plan in her head, she would start to formulate more plans before she turned her head back to Julius and Higan. They were all about to leave on their own goals so she wasn't sure when she'd see them next and had to made sure to give any advice she had.

"Well, I imagine you will be leaving soon, I'd say when you leave with the army it would be good to stop by an oasis not too far west, its hidden in between some cliffs, but one of my contacts is there and he should be able to help you guy's get to Al-Shamshura without being sighted." Holding out a smaller map she pointed the location out to Julius and Higan and even giving them the map before she would move towards Jynx ready to leave with him when ready.

"Julius, the same goes for me. Traveling with a force would be showing strength, but you wouldn't have to do so. I believe that you are free to make whatever decision that you think is best as a Lord Class dungeon beast. So for now, forget the army, so that you are free to do what you do best. Against all the forces of mankind that seek to threaten us with their prowess, we will send onto them, only you. If you must, rip and tear until it is done. "



Looking at the Sogaxod crystalizing, Lagi would frown a bit, wondering if all of them were doing that at this moment. This also meant that until the process is complete, Lagi wouldn't be able to make any more Sogaxods. He started to wonder if the possible transformation for the Sogaxod was worth it.

"Lady Higan, it is now obvious to me that there is more to you besides your humanity after tasting you. Whether it's to come to terms with your progressing changes or learning about beast taming, seek me out. The blood is settling a bit, my earlier assessment of you was incorrect. Maybe something changed......."

Walking over to Masika, Lagi would tap her on the arm and proceed to guide her to the exit.

"Very well, this meeting is adjourned. We have our work cut out for us. I will escort the beautiful lord Masika in the meantime. "

Gaining what he wanted he would smirk, though unsure if it was actually happening. He should really ask someone if his face ever changed expression or if it was always in a single state. He refused to ask such a dumb question though, perhaps it would be time to look in a mirror and look upon his face for the first time since his transformation into a Skeletal Lord. After everything was said and done, Julius gave a bow to those in the room as he motioned to the door. It would now be time to ready himself for what would be needed to be done with his meeting with the Slaves of Heliophat. He knew with Lady Higan with him nothing would impose their chances of success. Julius left to fetch his gear and armor up before heading out to the slaves. He would be eager to test the Extreme Magic he unlocked if the chance would arise. Things would be dealt with quickly and efficiently, he could only hope they would try to be foolish and attempt to take him out while their numbers were so low. He would have Lady Higan, Jack, and Yurameshi with him. The four of them would be plenty with Lady Higan's pets coming too.

Higan would stare at the thing that drank some of her blood, studying him, wondering how he could transform like that. She would then look at Jynx, noting if the Morihana knew that he was capable to do something like this, the clan would really try to get their hand on this man. This world was surely interesting, she just stepped outside her cage and she was able to see a lot of new things. Well, Higan's plan to take revenge on the world wouldn't stop. But helping Jynx would help her expand her connection, he would owe her and he would be a great help later...

Now she would just need to go with the flow and enjoy the process.
