(Shobek's POV)
I slowly looked around, the release of my tension was everywhere. I glanced down at myself and grimaced at the black blood that coated me. I sighed and rolled my shoulders back, noticing the sound of quick and quiet footsteps on the ramp. I faintly remembered passing her, I looked back at my mess and frowned.
"Oops." I sighed and kicked a limb out of my way as I sauntered towards my bathroom. I'll have to clean all of that up by hand if my powers haven't replenished by the time I finish my bath. "Kasey probably won't be returning here for a while."
I slowly stripped off my clothes as I walked to the steaming water, letting myself sink into its warm embrace as I relaxed. I leaned back and stared up at the ceiling.
Kasey was doing pretty good all considering. The few times when I've gotten sick of playing

Shobek wandered to the kitchen, Kasey still making some food. He glanced at what she had decided on and almost laughed. "What?" Kasey turned a sharp eye on Shobek, scowling at the young boy. "Frozen tenders and fries?" Shobek smiled mockingly, "it's funny how a little kid can cook better than an adult." Kasey scoffed, "little kid my butt." She carefully slid the pan into the oven and closed the door. She turned back and peered behind Shobek, "did you end up killing him?" "Sadly, I refrained from doing so. He's bathing in the bathroom if you want to go check." "No thanks." Kasey turned back to the frozen food bags she had yet to put away and slowly looked at Shobek again. "How do you have all of this modern stuff?" "It's easy for me to travel between realms because I can make my own portals. Though it is draining. Ever
Mistakes of the Past Tough Luck
The house was strangely quiet as I snuck out of my room. It had only been a couple of minutes since I heard the two men stomping away. Where they went was beyond me; I just wanted to get a drink and something sweet before returning to my new habit of being a recluse. My steps were light as I reached the halfway point in the living room. I paused and glanced around suspiciously. A glass of milk sat on the small table beside the couch along with the tv remote. I glanced at the channel that was on and frowned. It seemed to be a news station that was showing images of a developing fire. My stomach churned as I realized there were crucified people screaming in the midst of the flames. I quickly grabbed the remote and turned the TV off, the sight I saw earlier with Shobek ripping the monsters apart was already threatening my appetite. I sat the remote down and heard loud footsteps, I looked up and froze as a tall man emerged from the wall. His white hair fell in front
Mistakes of the Past Ragdoll
The two men continued to bark orders to the young women that continuously threw punches at the dummy. Left, right, left left, right, and kick. Kasey's limbs were starting to protest and give in as the exhaustion sept through. Digging into her muscles as she again listened to her coaches. "Keep your knees slightly bent. Elbows in!" Apophis repeated. Kasey felt her shoulders start to droop as she came close to calling quits. They've been at it all morning. What the hell is wrong with these guys? Why were they pushing so hard for her to train? By this point, Kasey tuned out Apophis as she again did the sequence he had shown her this morning. She could feel her knuckles burning with the constant pain of the beating. It was becoming too much. She jumped when she felt a warm hand touch her waist and she swung her arm back in an attempt to hit her attacker. Shobek easily caught her arm and quickly tucked it
Mistakes of the Past Untamed Land
The two figures flew for a couple of hours, the thin feminine body clutched tightly to the form of the gentlemen. Kasey's clothing did little against the cold wind. Had she known this would've happened, she wouldn't have worn some gym shorts and a tank top. The freezing cold air was leaving her shaking, clinging to the warmth she could get from Shobek. His wingbeats were getting slower, heavier. "Almost there." His words were nearly stolen by the wind. Kasey simply nodded, her teeth chattering. Her eyes slowly looked ahead of them again, a strip of land finally becoming visible. "W...Where are we g...going..?" Kasey looked up to meet Shobeks eyes, he gave a comforting smile; though worry exuded from every pore in his body. "This land, much like the living world, is separated and split up between seven different rulers. But there are patches that no ruler has control ov
Mistakes of the Past Phantom
When Shobek finally opened his eyes, the faintest hint of the day was just starting to peek through the tree doorway. As expected, nothing attacked them. He quickly glanced down at the head that rested on his legs. Treating her like a cat, he dared not move. Not wanting to disturb Kasey's sleep. She was curled into herself, with her head resting on his thigh, her hair falling over her face slightly. Shobeks heart lept into his throat as he watched her sleep. She was paler than she used to be when she was on the living plane. A little thinner too. Though she had gained some muscle mass, her frame was still far too thin. He hated having to bring her down in hell and hated the fact that he lied about having to kill her mother to access all her powers. But what he hated the most, was listening to her scream in the night as the night terrors ate her alive. Kasey's eyes finally fluttered open and Shobek was quick to mask his heartbroke
Mistakes of the Past Marketplace
The small room that they decided to be their meeting place seemed to grow smaller at each minute. The plain wooden walls and wooden ground clashed with his aura of nobility. But it was convenient and there was a small chance of anyone overhearing them. And if anyone just happened to hear anything, they could kill them without an outburst. But each second in this room made Pyro itch with annoyance. Everything was plain and wooden. From the tables and chairs to the cabinet and the "couch" with a few pillows. Maybe it was from his living style, but touching any surface, even with gloves on, made him want to scrub the skin off his fingertips. After standing for at least forty-five minutes, Pyro finally watched as the black smoke approached him and started to take form, the figure straightened their scarf as their red eyes flicked up to meet his. A wide grin spread across the demon's face as their red eyes flickered. &n
Mistakes of the Past Mammon Arrives
When Shobek finally finished making his circle, he moved back towards the center to find Kasey trying to smooth out her hair curls. He was happy to see that the tight, black jeans and the white shirt fit. Though he noticed that she wasn't wearing the boots yet. "Do the boots-" Kasey yelped and swung around to fling the brush at him. Luckily for him, he was able to dodge it before it hit him smack in the face. He gave her a wide-eyed look and she slowly calmed down realizing it was him. "Do they happen to have collars with bells on them? I think I should get you one." She scowled, though an embarrassed blush brushed her cheeks. "I doubt they do..." Shobek frowned at the thought of having to wear another collar. "Besides, I don't think I really need one." Kasey snorted and glared past him at the hairbrush that was now doused in mud. No
Mistakes of the Past The Deal
Shobek closed the door to the inn, feeling rather confident that Kasey would be safe there. He slowly walked back up the path, walking past a few empty tents or ones where the Vendors were hiding under their table. Unsurprising. He let his wings reappear as he neared the newly arrived figure. Mammon turned to meet his eyes. He looked to be in his late thirties, his brown shoulder-length hair was tied in a messy bun behind his head. His face was covered with stubble. Shobek stopped roughly five feet away. His eyes looked over the two girls that stood to the side of Mammon. They were twins and both wore matching maid outfits. The only difference between the two was the fact that one had a small heart under her eye on the left cheek, and the other twin had the same design on the right cheek, and that one twin had their black hair had parted to the left, while the other had it parted to the right. "Shobek! It has been a while. What br
