Thirty Three

You stumbled through the woods a trail of blood trailing after you. You had to get back to the city. You had to get away from that creep Rebecca had sent for you. The complications surrounding the hierarchy of the world was more complicated than you had thought. You fell down, tumbling over a hill and into a ditch. You groaned at the sudden impact. Why must this hurt so much? You wondered.

You got up from the ground and hobbled over to... well you hadn't gotten that far in your plan. You had no idea where True Cross was or who the closest god was to your location. But you soldiered on. You had to find someone. Tell them of what the Celestials wanted.

You had to tell someone that this war had a new combatant. The Godly Demon Cause wanted to destroy their parents for the modern era and their rule. The Celestials wanted to eliminate every kind of god, monster, and demon to bring about their reign. Chaos would break through if either of those outcomes happened. You continued on hobbling.

"I have to find Juin. I have to find Rin. Shiemi. Yukio. Bon. Shima. Konekomeru. Shura. Mom. Dad. I have to... continue. I have to... prevail." And you collapsed.

"Bella. It's time." A familiar voice said.

"For what?" asked Bella.

"Bring him here. Our Benefactor is ready for him."

"But [Y/N]. We need her."

"The Celestials have already dealt with her. Our Benefactor needs you now. She needs you to start it. Bring her the demon. And you will be rewarded."

"Yes."

You opened your eyes to appear in a bed. Persephone, your step-mom, was there with you. "You're awake."

"Where am I? That doesn't matter. I have to get out of here. I have to find Rin. Something bad is going to happen. Something only I can stop." You said throwing the covers off.

But you were strapped on the bed. "I need you. I need you here to witness our win."

"Why do you need me, Persephone?"

"Because you have to witness the one thing your father took away from me."
