I moved away as my guild stood up around me. We moved into ranks next to each other. We watched as our two guild mates lumbered towards us. Their eyes looked like a small voids. No emotion showed and yet no barriers to hide those emotions. They stopped a few feet away from the line. Time seemed deafening until, a loud crash was heard behind me. Someone broke the wall of my guild, knocking down a few of my men, some injured, some worse. I turn to see a lady. Golden hair that stood out against her outfit. She was clad in a red dress yet it barely touched her knees. The dress was of Asian style, embroidered with a golden dragon. Upon her neck she bore a rhinestone necklace. Around small her small wrist she wore a band holding a set of keys, maybe a set of 4. She wore the warmest smirk. If that was possible. She opened her mouth and said...

"Wait!" A small blue exceed chirped, "if your saying this happened one thousand years ago, why is Diana Jane there?"
"I did not expect that Question out of you Happy, but I don't know. They might share the same magics, but they just weren't the same. Though I barley knew the one that killed my guild, I had ways of learning about her. I'll explain at the end."

"So this is the inside of your quirky guild. It really is too bad I broke your wall... So then, um... Bye!" The blonde smiled. She held something up and with a flick of her wrist, a large demon appeared beside her. It's face looked gnarled and had claws that were twisted in odd directions. Two eyes stared at the crowd, big black buttons that were never really alive. It's body was long and serpent like, and had coarse hair down to the tip of it's tail. It looked so messy, that you would have supposed it was the embodiment of the sin sloth. That is until you saw the large metal plate hanging around sloth's next reading "SLOTH", the letters themselves were clawed on.

The monster growled, it was deep and low. Slow it move towards us. It towered over us, looking down at us. There was a sharp in my side. It burned as it someone had almost sliced me in half. I looked around for who had hit me, but no one was there. Slowly, with my hand shaking, I pulled out my emergency key. It glowed following me without command. One flash of light and there was my first. The one that I felt would be my last to summon. Malanii held her head high. She may be a silver key, but she was one of the strongest. Before she could even start I saw Diana slipping away. I had to follow her, to stop that insanity.

She had run outside, fire behind her. She stopped near the top of a hill. She was waiting for me. I stopped her wait in it's tracks. "Why are you doing this? What did my guild do?" I asked the woman. she just watched me and smiled.

"You want to make the purest guild right? By doing this you're making a supreme, something, that if someone can't reach, they end up on the floor and they're broken." She had just began her rant, "I wonder if you even remember me?" The wind seemed like it was trying to push me in to this problem. "I was just a girl who wanted to be in the steadily rising guild, called 'Purity'. Too bad I was called imperfect. So now I'm here, smudging your purity with my dirt! You have created a killing machine bent on killing you! But you... You deserve this! I'll kill your guild now and let you live with it until I need to let off a bit of steam... Now go have fun with your guild, before they're dead."

I Heard screams. They come from the guild. There was a buzz at my hip, Malanii fell. My guild was now in true danger, if Malanii was sent back to the celestial realm. I ran with my heart, To save my guild. When I got there, few were still fighting. At my my feet lay to people. their faces dull and fearful. I wish Cody hadn't tried to fight. He was still working on his magic, no matter how beautiful. Next to him laid Hikaru. His face looked less pale that Cody's. He groaned, and I dropped to his side.

"Hikaru! What happened?" I cried. He winced as he turned his head towards me.

"Doesn't matter, get out of here. I'm no good at last words." His voice was like a whisper. I could barely hear him, over the fight that continued to rage on in the background.

"No! What are you talking about? I can't leave you. maybe there is still someone who can heal you!" I grabbed his hand hoping that, I could some how save him.

"Stop. You have to go save someone else. I'm already to close to death, so leave."

"No!"

"Ori, Save someone. I believe in you, more than these last words can say, so go, and be the girl who can do what ever she wants a-and don't for- forge-" Hikaru coughed, blood splattering the ground. "D-Don't... Forget." His eyes closed and his chest stopped rising. He was dead. Nothing more, but nothing less. I was now alone. Sloth was finished with his last victim. My guild was so close to death. To this day I wonder if I should have let him kill me, but in the moment I was fueled be Hikaru's words. I stood to face one of the monsters that took my guild. It continued it's slow advance towards me. I moved, not thinking about, what it should fear.

It should fear me. I was an emotion. that emotion drove me forward to change. To change into a god. I had lost everything I worked hardest for, and that monster needed atonement. It didn't have to fear me, it should have felt pure dread.
