Over Reliance
- Yamato, Peter, Oliver -
"I'm surprised you know of R'yarj." Yamato said.
"How do you know about that?" Oliver asked Peter. "The eldritch are a mystery to most gods."
"Hell's library." Peter said. "There's books on just about every bein' in the world. One of the books, written by Satan, is about the eldritch. The book didn't have much in the way of information, but it did mention the eldritch that had the ability to give deals." He sighed. "Satan's obsession with arbiters is one of his few positive traits."
Oliver had heard stories of the vast knowledge in Hell's library. Purgatory had its own great library, but even Death has admitted to it not being on the same scale as Hell's.
"I never visited the library when I was in Hell." Yamato revealed. "I would have if I had known of its available knowledge."
"You were reborn in Hell?" Oliver asked.

- Death -Death had gone to check on Hrom by himself. He said he had things he needed to think about on his own.'All basic affinities and he doesn't believe in the equality of all species being possible...'Death was running his hand over Hrom's side. His mind had been split between thinking about Kahvis, and thinking about his plan of attack. He had the most important role in the war, a fact that he fully expected but still worried about.'How long has it been since you've joined me in battle?' He scratched Hrom."I know you're there, you can't hide your presence from me!" Death yelled.The humans that had been hiding and watching Death scattered. Normally he would just tolerate their curiosity, but he wanted to be alone.'Not a single one of you will want to be near me after this battle is over. Your stares of interest will turn into d

- Death -With the plans understood by all, Death decided to train. He had an area cleared for him while he practiced, warning everyone not to get close. He wasn't planning on using magic, just that he would be swinging his scythe around with his eyes closed and didn't want to accidentally hit someone.'I ride in. The first one to try and make contact will probably be Urdros.' He pictured as he swung his scythe upwards.He ran every interaction he could in his head. He had always been an instinctual fighter more than a planner, he decided that this battle would be different. He needed to be better, he didn't want to rely on permanently blighting the land.'I can tear through the left side and move my way right to assist Lucifer.' He swung his scythe horizontally.He opened his eyes and sighed at all the eyes looking at him from far away.'Surely you have your

- Death and Oliver -"You okay sir?" Oliver said from afar to Death."I'll be fine." Death mumbled.Oliver didn't have much interaction with Death before their meeting in Passage. He was secretly excited to get the chance to speak with him. He was going to ask if he could practice with him until he saw Death's training. It was different, it seemed more purposeful, as though he was imagining someone as he swung the scythe.'Can't imagine practicing with that.' Oliver scratched the back of his head.Death was trying to quiet everything around him. What mattered to him now was staying focused. He couldn't practice his riding with Hrom so he was stuck with just weapon and image training. So long as he kept his eyes closed he wouldn't see the eyes of the crowd and most of them wouldn't dare say anything if they thought he could hear them.Oliver was looking around

The Reaper and The Devil A Twisted Result (1)
- Lucifer -Lucifer had stayed in the hut long after Death left. He had been staring at the board endlessly, to the point that he could see images of it when he blinked. The scenarios he had run through in his head had pervaded all of his other thoughts. Even thinking about the five traveling to Heliopolis would be interrupted by a connecting thought of how he would deal with their respective magics.These thoughts combined with the fact that he was in two minds about having Peter stay around made it difficult for him to think about much else. He trusted Peter's strength, but couldn't help picturing him die. The true risk of this war had set in. It wasn't that he had thought things would go perfectly fine, and everyone would get a happy ending, just that he had confidence from his prior victory in the Underground.He pictured Kahvis attending to the friends and loved ones of those who died in the raid, and wondered what

- Saint, Death, Lucifer -Lucifer wanted to help Saint, but he was scared that he might draw Death's aggression. He thought it would be better if he waited and only stepped in if it seemed like Saint was about to lose.Death rapidly blinked to Saint. He was on her in a moment, gripping his hand around her throat and lifting her off the ground. He was readying to slam her down when he felt both her feet kicking into him. The blow was strong enough to send him back once more.What followed looked like a white light crashing against a shadow. Death had strength and speed, Saint had technique. Their fight started to destroy the resistance's evacuated headquarters, causing the sound of breaking stone to fill the air.Death grabbed Saint's arm and threw her through multiple huts. He appeared above her, attempting to stomp her face. She dodged the attack and struck Death's smoke hidden face. She exchanged b

- Satan, Moloch, Baal -(Morning after last chapter)"Like I told you before, you need to start your attack now." Satan said into the echo. "If you don't keep them from digging deeper in Bolotano we won't win this.""You care about winning and yet you sent a messenger to them!" Moloch spat."I want a proper battle-" Satan's voice started to sound like a mix of anger and excitement. "-not some facade of one. You're lucky you have my help, now don't waste it.""Can you at least tell us how long it will take for your forces to pincer them?" Baal asked."No...too easy." Satan said with a smile. "Who knows, maybe you'll win without me? Wouldn't that be something?" Satan leaned away and whispered. "Though I wouldn't bet on it...""Once this is all over we should come to your side of the world and return the favor." Baal said.
