4 hours Before the dragon attack
Radahn P. O. V
So me, Leo, and a very knocked out sister of mine were traveling with this very nice person called an imp one being blitzo and his obviously adopted daughter Loony. "I don't really have a room for you so you might have to stay with one of my employees if that's ok with you?" He said looking up at me. Ummmm I thought of my height and quickly denied the offer as I didn't want to be a hindrance to anyone. "Oh I think I'll find somewhere to live later but thank you for the offer." I said. "Oh ok well let me show you around the office." He said waving his hand to follow him. To which I followed and when I saw the inside I was amazed it looked so different from my fortress so much cleaner. "Welcome to this shithole!" The creature said below me. "It doesn't look that bad" I nearly jumped from my horse from fright when I heard malenia behind me. "Oh your awake" I said looking at her over my shoulder as she was laying down on the back of Leo. "Yes, yes I am now I would like to know where I am" she said seemingly about to snap. I'm sure anyone would if they woke up somewhere they don't recognize and next to their mortal enemy. "Oh I get it you got dicked down so hard by your husband here that you forgot where you were I get it, it happens to the best of us." The red creature said not knowing we were siblings. Although I was tolerant to the joke. Malenia wasn't she proves that by lunging straight at him and tries to impale him with her wrist blade. I grabbed her leg and pulled her into a hug. "Let's all calm down here especially since it was just a joke and TOTALLY didn't mean it" I said looking at blitzo while holding a struggling malenia. "Y-yep it was just a joke, absolutely" he said on the ground wide eyed. Malenia hears his words and calms down. Either now knowing it was a joke or knowing she was never going to escape the renalla special hug. a hug that was passed down through generations. I eventually put her down. And she starts exploring. "Lively bitch ain't she?" Blitzo said getting back up. "Yep that's her also we are siblings we're not married." I spoke which made him go wide eyed again. "Whaaaat you two don't look both ali- no wait I see it you guys have ridiculously long red hair." He said looking back and forth between us. Then the hell hound walked in along with a bird person no I mean a literal bird walking on two legs. "Hey blitzo look who I found." The hound named loony spoke although I did find it weird she called her father by name. "Hiii everyooooowoah who is that" the bird person said I thought she was talking about me but it turns out it was not the case when she was literally pointing at my sister who had her hands on her hips while inspecting the place. "Oh that's my sister Malenia also known as a huge pain in my butt"
I spoke loud enough for her to hear me to get a reaction to which I got none. The girl looked up at me giving me a better look. It was an owl lady. She wore a cloth bag on her head with a crown as a design, a black jacket, ripped jeans and a pink shirt with a star design. conclusion, I'm going to like her. She was so stunned to see me maybe because of my height. "Oh hi I'm Octavia I oddly enough didn't see you there" she said still a little stunned. "This place has no military prowess whatsoever it's amazing how you haven't been invaded yet" my sister said as she approached us. "You can invade me- I MEAN!! hi I'm Octavia goetia what's your name?"the owl lady known as Octavia said holding out her hand. "Malenia" my sister stated shaking Octavias hand with her prosthetic. "Oh my satan you're tall" the owl lady said. "Thanks I guess" my sister said tilting her head and walk away. I spotted the owl lady smack herself and mutter stupid under her breath. My sister walks over to blitzo and picks him up by his arms. "What exactly are you creatures?" She said still obviously trying to get the lay of the land and I guess it's people. "Well ma'am I'm an imp but my daughter over there is a hellhound and that owl lady is the daughter of demon royalty." Blitzo said surprisingly not freaked out about her height. "I see" she said bending down to put him down and I suddenly see the owl lady go flying with blood spraying out of her nose with a weird grin and she luckily lands on the couch.
My sister stands up and walks up to me. "This place is not good for defense, why are we here?" She asked me. "Oh because there is no war going on we are both already dead so yeah" I said causing her to tense up a bit and think. "I see,well where do we stay?" She asked. I wish I had all the answers but with that question I'm stumped. "I have no idea we might have to go find some place after blitzo shows you around" I said still thinking of ways to find us a place to live. "You guys could stay with me I'm sure I could convince my dad and mom" the owl lady said with a napkin covering her nose. "I see and there is no problem with a goddess of rot in your home?" My sister said making a good point as the goddess of rot was a feared title. "HA I knew you were a goddess there was no way that body oh shit- I mean Yeah there is no issue really." The owl lady said easing my mind about looking for a place to stay. "Well then it's settled. after this Imp shows me around. Me and Radahn will live with you Via" My sister said giving me a good moment to just relax. "Who told you my nickname?" The owl lady said with a slight blush. "Oh I made it on the spot since your name is pretty long I wasn't aware it was your nickname would you like me to just call you by your actual name?" Malenia said. "Oh it's ok I like it." The bird said with a blush again she must be embarrassed because someone outside her family is calling her that I would be too if I were her. "Alright enough with the verbal sex let's get this show on the road dickweeds!" Blitzo said walking to a metal box. "I'm going to murder that imp radahn." My sister whispered. "Please don't" I replied. She walked in the steel box and it shut.
Malenia P. O. V
I was following the imp around and I will admit that I am slightly impressed with the layout of the building it is all so...organized and oddly more comfortable looking than my place at home guarantee he still had to explain television and "phones" to me but other than their more advanced tools I enjoyed walking around the place and seeing the view that "hell" apparently had to offer. I just can't believe it there is no way we are dead if we were how come we look the same while others look different and why can I still feel my heartbeat? It just doesn't make sense but I'm sure I'll find out sometime later no need to stack problems on myself. "Hey you there? Anybody hoooome?" My thoughts were interrupted by a certain impish creature named blitzo. "Oh my apologies I was thinking you were saying something about the living world?" I said letting him know I was kinda sorta paying attention. "Yeah so what was I saying? oh yeah we use this book to get to the living world and assassinate any pricks we were paid to kill then we simply call loona tell her we want to come back and she'll open a portal since loony is the only one able to use the book we have her usually on standby in hell while we go on a couple massacres here and there. So my baby doesn't mess up her furrrrr." The creature said. I understood the gist so I got up and resumed exploring. "Soooooo your a goddess?" I hear next to me I look down to see the via girl. "Yes a rot goddess to be more specific I control scarlet rot. turning my weakness into unimaginable power" I said thinking this type of info would scare her off. "That's awesome but what is scarlet rot exactly?" She said while looking up at me. She weirdly seemed interested. "Hmm well scarlet rot is a sickness that plagues my lands it destroys things and it can take many forms like a liquid a gas or even as a crystal. It slowly rots away your flesh and bones killing you from the inside and outside this sickness can be used to your advantage however by putting the liquid version onto your weapon and when your weapon comes into contact with anyone it can infect them with rot." I said speaking of the plague that my master has taught me to control. "Ohhhhhh that's so COOL is there any cool abilities you can do with it?!" She had stars in her eyes out of what I assumed to be admiration or just straight interest either way she was happy to talk about it with me which was very... nice.
3 hours later
We talked to each other for a while. She told me about her dad stolas and how nice he is and how she loved books and astrology which immediately told me her and Radahn would get along very well. Speaking of Radahn I told her about his powers and she couldn't hold her excitement she told me that one day she'll take me to see this thing called "Azathoth's tears" and with a name like that I had to see it with her. We finally reached the end of the tour and I met up with my brother in the lobby. "Radahn lets go" I stated not caring what his conversation was with the wolf. "Oh alrighty" He said before hopping back on Leonard and walked out the building. "Well goodbye Imp I'm sure my brother will most likely be here tomorrow. imp?" I said wondering where he was considering he didn't answer. "IM ON TOP OF A FUCKING HORSE AGAAAAAIN HAHAHAHAHAAAA!!" I heard him scream while standing on the back of Leonard. Via put her "beanie" as she called it. over her eyes in embarrassment. She lifted up her beanie and looked at me to see me laughing at her antics.
Radahn P. O. V
Holy crap is she laughing? Wooooooahhh that's supremely rare. It must be blitzo being so happy he's on Leonard I will admit it is pretty funny. "Hey so why did you pick Leonard instead of a more muscular horse"blitzo said sitting down behind me. "Because I liked him more because despite the skinny and frail looks this horse was capable of hitting the ground at world destroying speeds and come out with no injuries and any other horse in my opinion is bland I think horses represent true freedom and if im going to pick a horse my choice should be free as well right?" I said still thinking about the time I picked Leonard. "Hmmm I guess but how are you able to even sit on him without him falling? Because when I get on a horse IM usually the one getting knocked the fuck off" he said reminding me of the magic I use to ride him. "Oh it's gravity magic" I said. "Ohhhhh ok" blitzo said only slightly surprised.
1 hour later
Malenia P. O. V
We arrived at a beautiful home that Octavia called a mansion and she walked ahead of us to knock on the door to her own home... weird.
Blitzo left 30 minutes ago saying something about "not feeling horny at the moment" I completely didn't care so I didn't ask. "*Sigh* there arguing again. Follow me we are going to go through the back." Via said before I grabbed her and leaped to the balcony at the front. "Oh I didn't know you could jump that high heh." She said staring at my face for an awful lot of time before she snapped her attention back forward and hopped out of my arms. She walked over and picked something up. "This is my parents room though my dad usually sleeps on the couch while my mom sleeps here." She said picking up a picture of her and a much dorkier looking owl with 4 eyes and an adorable smile at a place called looloo land in the back of the photo. "You seem happy with that man" I said looming over her to see the picture. "Well yeah he's my dad he always wanted me to be myself and get to know me I just wish my mom was the same way" She said with a somber face as she put the picture back in it's place. She got up and grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the room. "We need to find a way for Radahn to get in without making a racket" she said letting go of my hand leading me downstairs slowly as to not make any noise. "AND EVERY TIME I ASK ABOUT OUR DAUGHTER YOU CHANGE THE SUBJECT WHY DONT YOU CARE?!" I heard faint yelling from what seems like the kitchen. OUR DAUGHTER IS GOING TO BE A NEANDERTHAL IF YOU DONT GET GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER STOLAS YOU KEEP ACTING LIKE A WHORE FOR THAT DAMN IMP THEN OCTAVIA WILL BE THE LEAST OF YOUR WORRIES YOU DUMB MOTHER *CRASH*FU- did you hear that? I unfocused from their conversation to see Octavia helping Radahn halfway through the door and his shoulder leaning over a nightstand with a broken vase on the floor telling me he knocked it over in the struggle...Gods damnit. I look over to see the owl I saw next to via in the picture walking towards me with a ball of magic erupting from his hand. He had a very serious look along with piercing white pupils and a overall hostile presence around him he was obviously going to attack me so I brought out my blade and started walking towards him. Via ran in between of us and stuck her hands out. "Wait wait wait wait it's not what it looks like, I know these guys dad!" She said looking at the taller owl. Another bird came around the corner and walked over to us in a hostile way but not as intimidating as the father so I put my blade away since I'm no longer in danger. "WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE STELLA?!" She screamed at via which made me slightly angry. "Oh umm well these are my friends this tall muscular...beautiful AHEM lady is Malenia she is a goddess of rot and this also very tall muscular horse lover is Radahn"via said getting a reaction out of the father when she said "horse lover" the reaction contained a simple snicker must've been reminded of something. "So a goddess in hell hm I don't believe you so stop saying that and just tell my daughter the truth" she said getting in my face.
My hair started floating as my temper was starting to rise.
Octavia P. O. V
Malenia's hair started floating weirdly and I heard fluttering and a sudden feeling on my hand. I looked down to see a cool looking butterfly with rotting wings. "Stop her" I heard Radahn say behind me. I looked at him and he seemed very serious. "What's wrong with Malenia?" I asked a little scared of the look. "Unless you want to lose a mother I would stop her." He said trying to get through the door himself I noticed more butterflies show up and they were sticking to Malenia's back so I made my move.
Malenia P. O. V
I was angry very angry and I wanted to kill her how dare she think to tell me who or what I am. I raised my hand and got ready to summon my blade. (A/n I have Malenia's blade work like a hidden blade so no one sees it unless she wants them to) I suddenly felt warmth around my hip i looked down to see via giving me that somber look from earlier I put down my hand and pat her head. "I'm the goddess of rot that is what I was known as before I ended up here now I'm just a demigod trying to survive no title just Malenia but that's who I am so sorry I can't tell your daughter something else if you're not satisfied." I said still resting my hand on via's head. She proceeded to walk past me but not without giving me a small "Hmph" gods I want to kill her.
Radahn P. O.V
Oh gods she's walking towards me."Uhhh hiii" I said with a nervous smile as I was still stuck in the doorway."Well what are you because you surely can't be a demigod with you being stuck in the doorway like this"she said looking up at me.*Butthole mode activated* "Well would you rather me rip off your entire doorway" I said with a little snarky tone. "Uh well-Then please do know that me being stuck is the better option so it's either help me or I'll help myself" I interrupted. "And yes I'm a demigod." I spoke with a sarcastic tone. "Well what exactly are they doing here Octavia" the Father finally spoke up. "Oh well I figured they could stay with us because they don't have anywhere to stay." She said still fighting for us to stay. While I'm still stuck in this freaking door. "Oh I see, well are you sure we can trust them it does seem like they are sinners starlight no offense" the father spoke. "Well they died only killing people at war so it was really their job to do so and Radahn doesn't even feel right cursing and Malenia, well I just trust her." She said this making it seem like an extremely losing battle.
"Hmmm they can stay for one day but I judge wether they can stay or not, depending on their behavior. sound reasonable moonshine?" The assumed mother spoke surprising even me. Octavia was completely wide eyed then realization set in and she started jumping up and down with happiness and nearly tackled her with a hug. Thank you so much mom I won't let you down I looked at the mother and she was so wide eyed like it was the first time getting a hug. "Oh u-um well yes Malenia can stay with you and Radahn you can stayyyyy in theeeee hmmmm how well can you sleep in a library?"Her mother said. "Nothing I haven't done before miss." I said still struggling through the door without breaking it. Suddenly I fell to the ground and saw that the door grew wider I looked at the father and his hand was glowing must have some useful magic. "Thank you for that." I said. "Oh of course" he said while turning around to head upstairs. "I'm going to bed Stella I'm tired" the father said.
"Fine then I'll be up there shortly after I show our guest their living quarters" the supposed Stella said. I then look at Malenia and reach over to her.
Malenia P. O. V
I fill Radahn tap on my shoulder so I look over and he whispers in my ear. "I heard a dragon roar somewhere should we do something" he said. I thought about it for a while. "No let's not according to Via extreme things happening here is normal and none of the people here are worth Saving anyway." I whispered back. He nodded his head and continued walking i caught up with Octavia and noticed she was dozing off while walking. I decided to pick her up and walk the rest of the way. She fell asleep within seconds. "Here is the library for you to-" she stopped talking as she looked at me holding a very tired Octavia. "Sleep" she said ignoring it. Radahn and Leo walked in. "Oh um the horse can stay in the stables" she said taking notice to Leonard. "Oh ok go bud" radahn said patting Leo's back before Leo walked away. Radahn hung up his swords grabbed a book, started reading, And used gravity magic to close the door. "Alright now for you" she said turning to me. She waved her hand giving me the signal to follow as she walked away. We went upstairs twice and took a right and ended up in a white and gold hallway with portraits lining the walls with a balcony at the end we kept walking around and eventually got to her... intriguing room. Stella held the door open for me as I walked in with via in my arms. I laid Via down in her bed. "Thank you for your hospitality" I told Stella before She finally left and closed the door behind her. I didn't necessarily have any spare clothes so I just took off the armor bit of my clothing and sat down in one of Via's chairs and looked out the window and dozed to sleep.
Stella P. O. V
"PRINGLES!!!" I screamed trying to get find him. "Yes madam" I heard him say behind me. "I need you to keep an eye on that so called goddess of rot for the time being anything suspicious she does with Octavia point it to me do you understand?"I said as I am still weary of her being near Octavia especially as close as...that. "I understand clearly madam" Pringles said as he bowed and walked off. I went into me and stolas's room and layed on the bed if Octavias normal life consist of me and stolas visually tolerating each other then so be it that foolish owl will not turn her against me especially not after seeing the smile she gave me today I. Can't. Lose that. I thought as I finally drifted to sleep.
