Queen of the Night

Titan's Fall

Sending my love from the other side of the apocalypse
And I just about snapped
Don't look back
Every lover's got a little dagger in their hand

One would be foolish to believe in miracles.

Yet, when they happen, there a moment of pure excitement that rises from your chest.

Sorashi stared in awe at her new son, Dentaro, as he created a spear from pure lightning. It was astonishing to have witnessed a child born by her to be that proficient with his powers at a young age.

"YOU!" Her other child screeched, still holding her eyes. "HOW DARE YOU INJURE ME!"

Dentaro shrugged. "Seemed like you needed it, oneesan. Your ugly face was just crying to be marred."

"UGLY?" She stood up, gripping her scythe tightly. "YOU WILL PAY FOR YOUR INSULTS!"

"See? Even the way you talk is ugly." He stuck out his tongue. "No wonder no one likes you."

Hotaru moved swiftly to  cut her new brother's head off. Dentaro fell backwards, nearly going out the window. With a flap of his wings, he repositioned himself and punched Hotaru right in the face. Her body went through the wall this time, smoke coming off his fist.

"Wow...that was a lot of power." Hotaru panted, looking at him. "However, compared to me, you are nothing! I have training, a partner, and I have taken out the Upper Moon 1 all by myself! You are just born while I have experience!"

She sent out her hand as Kyojin rushed forward. Dentaro used his spear to block the numerous shadows that threatened to cut his head off. It was one relentless barrage after another, sweat rolling down his face. The young demon felt himself wearing down, but he didn't give up. He fought back just as hard, sending sparks from the tip of his spear.

"THUNDER THRUST!" He shot out a powerful blast of lightning that sent the tendrils of shadows dispersing. "NOW BEGONE!"

He threw the spear through Kyojin's chest, making the demon sputtering out blood. Hotaru's eyes went wide in shock as she witnessed her minion be skewered. Despite her hatred of her parents and the very demons that ruined her life, she did have some love for Kyojin. Her screams reverberated off the walls, charging forward and grabbing Dentaro by the neck.

"YOU PEST! YOU HARMED MY MINION!" Her claws glowed with poison as she held them against his face. "I don't care if you are my brother or not, you are going to pay for that!"

Behind the two children stood Sorashi, whose face was solemn. The woman was currently holding a healing Muzan in her arms. His face was burned off, skull visible as the flesh began to form back on. In his eyes were full of malice and contempt. Her heart raced as she reflected upon how her actions had lead to this. Neglect, on her part, was the biggest folly of it all. Her hand clenched Muzan's, lip quivering as she stood.

"Sorashi..." Her head turned to see Muzan nodding. "Reprimand our child."

There were no words spoken as she began to walk forward towards her struggling children. Her green hair turned into purple as stars dotted her body. Eyes glowing, power radiating, and claws elongated as her transformation into her true form took place. Dentaro, still clutching Hotaru's hand, looked over to see his mother coming forth. He smiled, then smirked at Hotaru.

"What are you so happy about whelp? I'm about to kill you!"

"I'm just laughing about the beat down you are about to have. Allow me to leave you with a parting gift though."

Hotaru was confused before he used his other hand to shoot lightning out his fingers. She shrieked as tiny bolts hit her face, searing a scar right on her left eye. Before she could retaliate, she was pushed off his body. Sorashi stared down at her daughter with a mix of remorse and disappointment.
