Genesis Reality III

Chapter VII - The Devil Inside

After the long and intense meeting with President Maraja of Azurial, The Conscript has taken it upon themselves to abolish the threat of the dangerous demon that has been terrorizing the citizens of Azurial.

"So... How exactly are we going to fin this thing?" Mizore asked as everyone sat inside Axel's car in the middle of the woods.

"Well, before Axel or Taurus come up with something, I would just like to say that us splitting up is not going to be an option," Rin explained.

"No, actually... I agree. To be honest, I'm really fucking scared of that thing," Taurus explained, crossing his arms and leaving back in the passenger seat.

"For real though, let's just wait for it to get a bit darker, then we can hunt this thing. I know you're scared Taurus but we're going to need you to be at the forefront. You're the only one who has seen it," Axel explained.

Taurus sighed and nodded his head, closing his eyes.

"While we wait, how do you think the meeting went?" Vincent asked, breaking the silence.

"I thought it was hilarious that he started crying," Mizore replied.

Rin chuckled and covered her mouth.

Axel nodded and turned to face Vincent and Mizore, "That's what I said! But I can understand him to a degree."

"What did you think about Amy? She was very quiet and really stuck up," Mizore explained.

"But the rapier she had was really cool. It was the cleanest silver I had ever seen," Rin explained.

"The shield thing looked like a freaking skull... That's amazing," Mizore said.

After a few casual conversations about their days and some light snacking, the sun had set to almost complete darkness.

The Azure was an extremely dense forest just southeast of Invictus and directly bridged it to Azurial.

The Conscript stood outside of Axel's car admiring the thick forest but struggling to breathe because of the humidity.

"Christ... What is this humidity?" Mizore complained as she gently leaned on Axel's car.

"Okay... wow... This is horrible!" Axel complained, trying to explain the plan.

"I think the best course of action is to wait for the demon to come to us. Considering it is the type to hunt its prey," Taurus explained.

"Should we head in deeper, then?" Vincent asked.

"We should take caution, though. It was able to play mind tricks on me and completely made me lose my vision momentarily. I don't think that's a good combo with this humidity," Taurus further explained.

Mizore paced back and forth, crossing her arms, "I'm sorry, Rin, but I think we should split up."

"Are you serious? That literally how we get fucked up," Rin groaned.

"The plot right now is pretty boring," Mizore shrugged, "I think we could kill this thing faster and get that agreement signed this way."

Everyone shook their heads and continued struggling to breathe.

"Let's just head in deeper, but everyone stick together. We're not going in too far!" Axel explained, being extremely careful.

Everyone slowly walked through the thick and dark forest in a single file line.

Just as the group walked further into the Azure, the demon had already begun its games.

Both Taurus and Mizore were at the back of the line, unable to keep up with the group for some odd reason.
