It was a new day. Aria turned the shower knob, She looked upward with her eyes closed as she let the warm water cleanse her. Everyone could finally relax for once. Aria used her telekinesis to turn the shower knob more heating up the water.

"Ahh..." She let out in bliss. This lasted about 20 minutes until she finally turned the water off. The young sorceress smiled upon opening her eyes finally. The mirror of the bathroom she was in was right across from her. Checking herself out she did a twirl and flipped her luxurious hair.

"Ribbit!" A familiar sound was heard. She had to make sure she was hearing right but this was quickly confirmed as she sees a green frog leap around on the floor. Curiosly she squatted and observed. With a head tilt the sorceress watched it leap across the bathroom. To her own surprise, it made it's way to her. She didn't know why but, she felt a connection to it. Aria put out the palm of her hand and impressively and surprisingly, it lept into it. This prompted the young girl to giggle as she petted it. She could tell it was content with her touch. Aria never knew why but there was this weird connection to her and animals. She started to hum,

"Mmmmm-Mhm-Mmm-Mm... Mhmm mhm hmm hm." She sort of lost herself in her own humming somewhat putting herself to sleep. However she wakes up suddenly and here's a gushy sound. She couldn't make sense of it until she realized what she was doing before she passed out. She looks down and uses her left hand to cover her mouth. Her eyes teared up and her knees buckled. She had crushed the frog that was peacefully enjoying her touch by squeezing it. The palm of her hand was just drenched in blood. It was a pretty shocking and horrifying realization. Maybe it was unconscious, maybe it wasn't, but a smile cracked on her face.

Simultaneously

Mizune found himself in a familiar domain. It was a ruined village. There was a bunch of burned and smokey brown houses lined up. He was roaming the streets of the place until he teleported. Consciousness was lost to the mage, and when it came back to him, he was shocked. He was clenching a shortsword that was piercing the heart of a woman. Mizune was  actually inside one of the burned houses. His eyes teared up a bit as he mumbled sincerely,

"Sorry mother." He plunged his sword deeper into her chest and pulled it out as her long spikey silver hair hit the floor as her body rolled over, dead.

"Bzzt!" Mizune teleported again. The mage was now outside one of the burned houses again. Suddenly the reality hit. He remembered now. Bodies were all over the place. Some of them were in the middle of the street, some strung on houses, some being burned by the ongoing fires, but that doesn't compare to the literal pile of corpses down a little further from where he was standing.

"Bzzt!" The shortsword spawned in his hand again. The blood of his mother soaked his blade. He observed it but then his eyes widened with another realization. It was almost as if he was remembering things bit by bit. The corpses were not just for show, this actually did happen and he knew what caused it. His eyes immediately honed in on a floating figure in the sky. It was a man. He had beautiful tan skin, short black hair, red eyes, and he was wearing a royal black robe. It was like death itself made his presence elegant somehow. 8 large black wings of darkness erupted from his back as he basked in death...

"Bzzt!" A silver long straight haired woman spawned right beside Mizune.

"Bzzt!" A tall slim man with silver short hair like his spawned to his left. The 3 of them were all in the street facing the demon above. To his surprise but at the same time not, the man and woman kneeled to the creature. The demon narrowed it's eyes on Mizune looking a bit agitated which prompted Mizune to also kneel.
