Legend of the Seven Lights

B-6. Lost and Looking

Welcome to the second story arc of the Side Stories, which I will title the Darkness Seeker Arc. To start off, we'll have Nerehc's first stage and Augustus's 3rd stage. (Takes place during Chapter 12.)

Chapter B-6: Lost and Looking

Negaverse; EiznekCm House

Nerehc and Ragus came up out of the basement of the former's house. As they headed for the front door, they were caught by Lehcar EiznekCm, who had walked in from the kitchen. "Oh, Mother!" Medusa said with Nerehc's voice, pushing up the sunglasses to hide her snakelike green eyes. "This is my friend, Ragus. I invited her over for-"

"I'm sorry, who are you?" Lehcar asked Nerehc, cocking a brow.

Medusa's (Nerehc's) heart jumped, wondering if she'd been caught. "Er... I'm-"

"Because I don't like random kids sneaking in my house and taking my stuff. NOW, GET OUT!!"

"WHOOOA!" Medusa and Ragus were flung out of the front door, which Lehcar slammed shut. The two rubbed their heads as they stood up. "That wasn't the response I expected." Medusa said.

"You're telling ME!" proclaimed Thanatos's perky voice.

The God of Death wobbled over in the very fat body that belonged to Eigaoh Nagillig. "I can't understand how a vegetarian stays fat as an adult, yet his Positive eats meat and is skinny as a mantis!"

"Lucky for you, that body is still prettier than your own." Pandora said negatively, coming over in Ikuk's body. "This woman is so small-chested. Sigh..." (she actually says the word).

"This guy's shirt doesn't even work for his belly!" Thanatos said, indicating his big belly sticking out. "Look! When I push my front in, my BACK pops out!" He pushed his belly under his shirt, then his back belly popped out. "But when I push my back in, my FRONT pops out!" He pushed his back in, and the same happened. "What's up with that??"

"The gods keep track of our Gigai ever since our commingling with the Thirteen Darknesses over the years." Medusa reminded. "We'll only be able to get work done by possessing these bodies. Now, shape up, you two! Our first order of business is to gather the Six Demon Saints."

"Awww, look at you giving orders like a grown-uuuuup." Pandora cooed, leaning forward and folding her arms on Nerehc's head. "You're so adorable."

"Stop it, Dora!" Medusa flailed Nerehc's arms and pushed the woman off. Ragus giggled.

"Fine. So, why are we concerned about the Demon Saints when we're supposed to be finding the Darknesses?"

"There's nothing we can do about the Darknesses for the moment. Not until Ragaj Gnik and Bill Cipher get done doing what they're supposed to. However, since we've come to know the Darknesses across the years, especially their powers, it's going to be Hell when all those people are suddenly together. We can use the Demon Saints to keep them all in line. And not only that... one of the Darknesses will need the power of the Demon Saints to help him."

"Also, we're purposely not saying the names of the Darknesses for secrecy's sake." Thanatos informed. "You understand, don't you, Ragus?"

"I certainly do!" Ragus beamed.

"Then let's get started." Medusa clapped hands. "I propose that we search for Lucifer first. Last I heard, he was Ganondorf's horsy, but he's mostly been doing work in Mexico. We'll enter there from Ocixem, since the gods don't look in here often. Ragus, those people will not be able to bother us while they're in their dolls, right?"

"They most certainly shouldn't." Ragus smiled brightly and held the three dolls of Nerehc, Eigaoh, and Ikuk. "However, Lady Medusa, I have a small query: who is Nerehc?"
