The White Chronicle

Chapter 30 - A Split of a soul

Mebuyan and Iblis returned to the Mebuyan's domain with dismay. The two noticed how Hades and Persephone are acting suspiciously. Mebuyan points out that Persephone is never this noisy and uncooperative. "If anything, she is acting more of a brat than a ruler." Mebuyan says as they sat upon her pool.

Iblis also states that when he and Hades visit the graves of the twos souls, Hades seems to investigate hastily. "He looked over the tombs, took a peek inside, and then he immediately concluded it was necromancy thru the bugs! Not even a hint of curiosity." Iblis shakes his head with disbelief at how Hades is painfully hiding something from him.

Iblis also shares one thing he notices back at that tomb. Distinct magic can be faintly smelled in the tomb, it's something demonic in nature yet ancient. He describes it as smelling musky and rotting like an old tree, familiar but he can't pinpoint what kind of magic was that used.

Their discussion about their suspicion on Hades and Persephone was halted when Mebuyan's pool began to bubble. Anubis' image comes to the pool with his golden armor and weapons on his side.

"Lady Mebuyan, I would like to thank you for warning us against the invasion. My warriors manage to put a good defense and despite their continuous assault, my tower of brass gives a good defense against them. My reason for calling you is I see something strange, I made sure the entrance to my realm is locked and tight but somehow they manage to split it wide open. Leading this charge is Kali himself, he sits atop his throne of bones and blood, and on his left hand is a scepter and a top of it is a skull that shines bright like he is holding all of the stars and the sun on it. "

Mebuyan looks over her land that was recently destroyed by the invasion of Kali. She knows how hard fighting the minions of Kali but she shudders the thought of Anubis' realm falling like Mara's. Kali will surely bolster his minions then it hits her.

"Anubis, hold your defense as long as you can. I will send my forces into a two-pronged attack, three of my men are now in Mara's domain. From there, they will push back the demons off from Mara's realm and since her realm is connected with Kali's, they will attack his domain directly. My men can close portals. Thus cutting off the portal that pours from Kali's to yours. While this is happening, I will move my forces towards your realm and will attack the rear of Kali's forces. I will ensure Kali is surrounded and distracted. All of this lies in the success of my men on Mara's domain."

"Your trust in these three warriors is something else." Anubis pause as a fireball flies over his palace of gold. "I will wait for your forces Mebuyan. I shall return to the field."

"And I shall give my aid. Have faith Anubis, we will be there" Mebuyan waves her hand over her pool and Anubis's visage disappears. Mebuyan stands up and rallies her troops and prepares her realm for war. Her warriors around her pool began to sprint and ran across all directions of her realm spreading the word of her instructions. The spirits of her realm began to move like a green wave of angry ghosts roaring for revenge.

"Are you coming Iblis?" She asked the demon.

"I must decline your humble invitation Mebuyan. What I should be doing is digging the dirt that magic I smelled in the tomb. It's buggering me since we returned." He bowed at Mebuyan and thanking her for trusting him not to be a spy. "And I am off. I will come for you once I have news regarding this or if I got info where your angels are"

Mebuyan nods and Iblis jump over his portal in the ground and vanish with smoke and fire behind him. And as soon as he vanishes, Mebuyan's warrior returned with dragging a hulking figure. It rages and tries to bite its captor. His eyes filled with rage and his body was full of wounds.
