'Although yes the Queen would be weaker no matter what, even a lesser demon is more powerful than a human turned demon. I will not have a Queen be permitted who can't even effectively defend herself or have some claim to power of her own. A weak Queen makes a weak ruler as she could easily be used against a ruler' Lucifer stated and was pleased that his son had said he would pester him no further. The Lord of Hell then once more attempted to take up a relaxing sleep.

Although Cerberus could not fully understand the words that the fallen had said he did understand that they were not happy playful ones. Quietly all three heads let out a saddening whine, as if his favorite toy was taken away and he was caged. All three heads, and even the tail head, lowered as his eyes cast themselves downward in a saddened fashion.

"Do not worry, you are not as troublesome as you think. I really don't mind assisting you" Janen said calmly. He then nodded his head understanding Phoenix's words that she was going to put herself in a trance to locate the problem, and relay to him what he needed to do if he was needed. Calmly he once more took up the chair he had been using before and watched the angel. He wasn't going to leave until she really was alright, though he didn't really mind. He enjoyed the angel's presence better than any other angel he had met so far.

Janen calmly sat and listened to Phoenix's explanation and words. If the white haired demon was concerned about the idea of traps and curses he didn't show it. He closed his eyes for a moment and simply nodded his head. "I've already offered to assist you in anyway that you need and I am not a demon who will go back on his word. Curses and traps do not scare me, as I've gone through a fair amount in my years as my Commander's second. I am confident that there is nothing there that I cannot handle" he replied rather calmly and opened his eyes. His words were honest, especially for a demon. However he had been trained by Talon and so some of the values of the bat winged demon had indeed rubbed off on the white haired demon.

Cerberus still seemed to whine loudly at Zeak's rejection, though his heads soon perked up, after his nose gently pushed the fallen to try and knock him down again out of playfulness, at the sound of his master's voice. His snake tail was the first to move into action and immediately slithered over to greet Damian, hissing happily. The hissing was then followed by a fair amount of loud though happy barks and heavy panting. All three head turned to the side though as the Prince mentioned meeting someone new. It was usually a phrase used that ended with him claiming a new fallen 'squeak toy', although Talon would still always be his favorite one.

Janen nodded and soon stood up to make his way over to the indicated spot on the bed. Gently and carefully he sat down looking at Phoenix. "Do not worry if I'm harmed or not. You need the locks undone, and even if I'm harmed I intend on undoing them for you. The only thing I will ask is since it is your mind that I will be entering is that you mentally guide where it is the locks are exactly. I don't want to start unlocking things that shouldn't be or in case there is a specific order to them" he said quite calmly. It was at times like these he felt himself very similar to how his Commander was, as he knew the bat winged demon would react the same way. He then calmly extended and offered one hand to her as the source for the physical contact. He figured that, that would be the most comfortable one for the angel since he was a demon as well as a male, and he didn't wish to have her feel uncomfortable.

(talons a sleepy head he needs to wake up lol)

Alana walked around for a while. She had a lot on her mind. She wasent sure what she wanted to do or what to do. She sighed and decided to go look for Damian. He had to be around there somewere. She walked through the different rooms looking around. She couldnt hear him anywere and was starting to worry.

(Lol it's still night time and he had just fallen asleep recently. :sweat:)

(not much for Alana to do without him lmfao. guess shell go talk with Damian.)

(Lol the poor guy just had six rounds of roughiness and satisfaction. He needs to rest up a little bit, though I'll wake him up soon enough. XD Though there is indeed Damian for the time being or even Cerbs, Kryden, Amalia, Diamond (maybe), Zeak, Verah, and possibly Sikura too. :D)

Sikura looked up at the three headed dog as she smiled and got closer to him. "Hello, Cerberus." Her eyes stayed on the dog as she held onto Damien's hands. She had other thoughts in her head as she looked at the demon dog.
'How do I prove myself to the King of Hell? When will I lose my humanity? How do I tell father without him killing me? What do I do if I can't be with Damien? Will my life be the same without him? Do I have a life without him?'

((Im awake~~~ for about an hour >-< My character is in the tree next to the exit sitting on a branch staring so feel free to look for contact~<3))

Cerberus's four sets of eyes, tail included, rested upon the girl who was beside his master. At first he let out a warning growl and cautiously sniffed the air, as she smelled neither demon nor angel but rather just human. The girl was beside Damian, but the dog had been trained to essentially guard the Gates of Hell and to terrorize human souls that were sent to Hell. He could vaguely smell his master's scent on her though the three headed beast was still uncertain about her. One dog head then shifted its gaze to Damian with its eyes clearly showing the uncertainty he felt and the reassurance he needed that she was either not a threat or if his reaction needed to be different. After all the beast recalled Damian bringing other humans and humans souls to him that he was to devour, both male and female.

Zeak only hugged the dogs nose to keep from being pushed over. he knew the beast wanted to play with him, as it seemed his other "toy" was not around and he was the next best thing. Aside from that Zeak was some one new, so as all dogs have to do,the animal insisted on sniffing him. though as damien came in and the animals attenchon was diverts rather quickly zeak found his stable nose gone and he was falling forward back into the beast's paws.
"Gah!!" he shouted trying not to injer himself. As the animal began barking he found himself trying to quiet it. He didnt want penelope waking up and finding him gone. He knew she would come looking and as a result she would hide in a corner like a child wanting to help but frozen with fear of the large dog.

What on earth am i doing trying to stand!? Zeak suddenly questioned himself realizing he COULD FLY!! Ive got wings that arnt broken! he stated with a small grawl. So with a stong flap, zeak lifted himself from the dogs paws and onto solid ground. If this doesn't work then perhaps playing ceatch would! he thought with a sigh as he shook the slober off and tried to clean up the best he could.


Penelope was lightly sleeping. She had began to drif in and out of sleep due to her brothers trying to reconnect the connection her father had mad. they were more afraide that he would see it was gone and blame them for it knowing his daughter wouldent have just done it without instigation.

But reguardless she laied quite content with drifting in a sea of blackness having no thoughts and no dreams. Well that was untill she heard the barking of a dog. In her dream state a rather cute husky dog sat beside her barking. Slowly she got up and in turn woke up to find that their wanst a husky dog by her and the barking had quieted down.
"Then it was that Cerberus!" She mummbled before giving a small shiver at the thought of going down to confront it and see why it was getting so worked up."Zeak why do-..... oh hes gone!" She said as she was about to ask him to see what the problem was. But alas he must have alredy done so. "Guess im stuck!" She mummbled before getting out of bead and fixing her slightly messy hair. "Theirs no point in changing, ill have to just do it again when i decide to go back to sleep." She said with a sigh as she opened the door and wondered down to the ball room.

Zeak continued to try and shake off the slober but it clung badly and made him slemm like dog breth. His head snapped up when the angel mentioned the princess. Ashe looked around he caught sight of her hiding behind the door looking up at the beast she was sapose to manuver around to get to zeak.
"man, i was hopeing she would sleep all night!" zeak mummbled before walking past the dog and the prince, hopefully it was sidtracted enough to not notice him lleaving to gather the princess.
"What are you-
"I heard the demon beast barking and wanted to find out why!" She interrupted slightly backing away from Zeak and covering her nose."You smell bad!" She stated and seen him heavea sigh.
"I know, " he complained before rubbing the back of his head. "Did you want to stay up!?" he asked seeing her nodd her head. "fallow me then!" He stated and began to lead the pajama plad princess into the room and around Cerberus.
"Amalia, this is Princess penelope!" Zeak said as he placed a hand behind her back and pushed her forward to greet the angel.
"H-hello!" penelope said shyly "I wasnt expecting to meat any one new, How are you!?" She said perking up a little.

Cerberus cocked his head to the side only understanding the words 'friend' and 'don't bite'. He was a dog, a three headed snake tailed one but a dog nevertheless, and didn't quite understand many words other than commands and terms. Carefully and cautiously though he directed his noses to her and started sniffing. He wasn't going to allow her to touch him until she got a full sniffing. Once satisfied he allowed her to touch his tail, though his attention was diverted when he saw a sudden movement of Zeak flying and moving about. All three heads turned and instinctively he lifted a paw to launch himself at the fallen though paused when he seemed to retrieve another angel. Instinctively he moved his heads when he was close enough to sniff and immediately did so.

Janen again nodded and closed his eyes, opening his own mind as Phoenix used her own mind to lead him into hers. "Alright, if I get harmed I'll let you treat my wounds if you so desire. I don't mind though as I'm sure they can't be anything worse than what I've had before" he said calmly with a shrug, though making sure not to distract his mind or hers.

((I'll leave stuff open for you Arechi in case you want to do something to Janen or not ;) ))

Phoenix securely yet gently grabbed onto his consciousness and pulled him into her own mind. If felt odd to have him in there and she could feel a slight pang of pain having him in her mind. She lead him to the first lock. She did not know much about the locks since they were demonic in nature. Even though she had studied various things of the demonic culture locks had not been one of them. She was going in what she thought the traps were laid and hoped that things would go okay. Despite what Janen said she really did not want him to get hurt.
