I know this chapter will make a lot of you guys confused, but I feel the orginal story vanished itself somewhere deep in my brain, so now I intrucde the begninning of the story where it gets truelly messed up, because it will very soon. Enjoy.

( Ritara's Dreamscape)

Deep, deep down a long and dark hole-like tunnel, with only purple crystal to glow in the dark, sat three different thrones of the same dark material the tunnel was made of, each on their own clif side facing each other. On each of them sat a near perfect copy of Ritara, though each had their own hair and eye color. One had purple eyes, with long black and purple hair flowing down his shoulders and almost reached the rock floor below his clawed feet. He was Ritara Cruach, son of Ophis and member of the Chaos Brigade. On the one to his left side, on the other throne, sat a Ritara with brown eyes and long crimson red hair, though it only reached his arm rests. His name was Ritara Gremory, son of Vritra and loyal member of Gremory family.

And to Ritara Cruach's right, on the last and only dirty and broken throne, sat another Ritara. His hair was a long mix of purple, red and black and his eyes were golden. His name was Issei Hijoshiki, failure of both devils and dragons and the Red Dragon Emperor. Each one had their own identity, their own will, their own voice and their thoughts, but they were all just pieces of one combined soul. Cruach had been fuming for the last few seconds, since Gremory had summoned them to this sudden meeting between them all. Issei sat with his head low, he didn't want to make eye contact with either of them, neither did they.

But even so, he was still the first one to speak, but his voice carried a sort of tone or feeling of despair." Why do we always end here? Every time we make a choice that could hurt many thousands of people, we always end up here, all three of us. So what will we do this time? Will we better ourselves, like you always say we should Gremory or will you both finally choose to give in?" Issei asked, his voice not only sounding like he had given up and was done with all this, but also stoic and dead. The two of them looked at him for a second, before Cruach spoke up in rage.

" You dare suggest that we give in, and let those puny devils win?! What's wrong with you?! And what do you mean by us always ending up back here?! We only end up here because everyone around us forces us back in here!" Cruach roared out in rage, before he calmed down a bit again. Gremory just looked calmly at both of them, before speaking his own mind." Cruach, Issei, I understand that you both have your own views on this whole mess, but we need to talk about this, not fight. I understand your desire to give in and let it all end, Issei, but we need to try for our family-"," What family are you speaking about, Gremory?" Issei asked, his voice still stoic, but even so Gremory could sense a bit of threat in the way he said it.

" Like the Gremory's, Asia, Vritra, Ophis and Cruach. They're our family, and they care about us-"," Aisa! You have to be fucking with me, that whore of a mother aboned us when we tried to show her the truth of her death! She is not our mother, nor is that bastard Vritra or those puny devils! They only see us as tools to further their own ambience!" Cruach roared out in protest, making Gremory glare at him slightly, before both of them heard the silent and stoic laughs of Issei. It made them feel uncomfortable to hear it." Family? We have never had such a thing in our whole lives. We've only had people who pretend to care for us, so they could use us for their own ambience. They all see us as a tool to use to gain glory, power and might. We're no more than a tool to everyone around us." Issei said, though this time his voice sounded creepily happy.

He was smiling, but not out of happiness or joy, but out of sadness or maybe just the insanity of his own being." They have all used us, abused us, hated us and abonned us. We were never loved by Asia or Vritra, we were just a waste product of their union. The Gremory's only used us as a way to gain more power, as well as to guard that spoiled brat of theirs. And Crom broke us, so that we could never have a chance ever again to be normal. This is something we all know, yet you two continue to fight over these lies we have been told by these people, believing them to be true. But only I can see these lies as they are." Issei said as he finally looked them in their eyes, making both of them feel a bit of fear at the sight of his eyes.
