"I didnt for get how cruel you can be!" Penelope stated as her hand went to the back of her head. She was remembering how Damien ruthlessly gripped her hair and yanked her to the floor. "I must say though talon does a have a bit more class than you!" She stated before ceatching her words. OH SHOOT! she thought as she turned her back at the demon. I really shouldent have said that! "I mean.. hes alot nicer than you even for being a fallen!" She panaced searching for a cover. Ohhhh i really messed up!!

Janen snorted at the Princess's comment. "Class has nothing to do with it. The only reason he's even the least bit polite to you is simply because he was ordered to be. If that hadn't been the case you'd easily find that my Commander isn't much different from other high class demons and even some low class" he sneered at the angel. He didn't care at all what this angel thought of him Princess or not. What he didn't like though was being compared to the bat winged demon. Although he respected and even feared Talon he had been an angel at one point.

"As for my Commander being a fallen he's no longer deemed that class. If he was a fallen instead of a full demon he'd have those feathery wings that those two have" he said pointing out Zeak and Alana, whom he had found to be rather abnormally quiet and unmoving throughout the whole thing. He let his hand drop and returned to its crossed position over his chest. "But as I'm sure you 'Princess' have noticed his wings are far different. And anyways you shouldn't be judging and comparing other demons to one another. It's down right insulting to both of us" he said as his gaze locked onto Penelope's. There was a trace of anger in his eyes.

After a few moments of an intense angry stare at the Princess of Heaven Janen calmly pushed himself from the wall. "And just a word of advice, though I'd rather see you suffer the consequences of it, you may not want to mention either my Commander's previous statuses to him. I'm sure then you'd meet the true nature of Hell's commander and top assassin. There's a reason he has those titles and status..." he said smirking a bit as he worked on unnerving the angel. He couldn't physically harm her since A) there were too many angels around and B) he knew that Talon, possibly Damien, and of course Lucifer would have his head many of times. He didn't really fancy the idea of thousands of deaths. He figured though that since physical harm was out of the question he could at least cause her some sort of emotional distress if possible.

Penelope didnt know what else to say. he was most deffinatly right in every aspect. She shouldent have compared the demons knowing full well that it was an insult to them alone. But she wasnt enjoying the scolding she was getting from the demon. He was rather high and might of himself.
"Just because Zeak is a fallen doesnt mean hes as lower on the chain than your or Talon! Zeak is just braver for suffering my fathers wrath to try and regain his title as an angle again!" she shot back now not caring what came from her mouth. She was very angry at this demon and though he made her tremble from his hostil glarng she decited to stand her ground and fight for Zeak sence he couldent very well defnd his honnor in this conversation.
"I understand that Talon may not want to ever go back to heaven and that hes gotten himself a repreablu reputation but Zeak has gained loyalty and is by far stronger than you in my book!" She said standing her ground. "And dont you think for a second that all that big talk could Ever scair me!" she nearly grawled. "You for get who my father is, he can be fearcer than that kitten Lucifer any day!" this she realised may not have been a good thing to say for if her father were watching her then their was no doubt that Lucifer was watching as well, and she didnr think she needed him comming up from the bowels of hell to proov how much of a tiger or Lion he was. reguardless she stood her ground dispite her bodys constat tremmors

Janen merely laughed at the Princess's words and shaking form. "Not once did I mention about our class chain and here you go spouting off utter nonsense. Tell me 'Princess' what do you know about the world of us demons? What is it that thinks you are so high and mighty as to say what it is how our race is or isn't? You understand so little about the world that you watch on your 'flower' covered throne as you look down upon the world" the white haired demon shot back.

"On top of that a dog who has angered his 'master' and wishes only to gain back the love of that 'master' is just pathetic. In our world that kind of thing is seen as pure weakness. You angels, nothing but 'white' sheep who barely think for themselves, just plain disgust me. You follow the rules of your creator and for what purpose? To be slapped on the hand and cast aside for when you disobey? Your farce of 'courage' doesn't fool me little angel. You say my words scare you not yet here you are trembling. You're about as pathetic as the rest of them, perhaps more" he said sneering and smirking as he leaned back against the wall once more.

"In terms of physical strength I care not whether or not I'm stronger than your fallen. My Commander could easily topple such a weak willed being. As for Lord Lucifer and that being you call a 'King' up there you have no idea of the true powers that they are. If one was stronger than the other then tell me don't you think that one would have rid this Earth of the other? Are you truly that dense and naive to think that one is stronger than the other, or perhaps you're desiring the destruction of this very world by making such a statement. Tell me 'Princess' could you live with all the blood that would stain your hands for such a thing? Taint your wings? Your soul? Your very being as the deaths of all those here would fall on your shoulders? If not then I suggest you shut your mouth about such things" he snapped, glaring at the angel with an almost intense hatred.

Meanwhile in the lava cover gazebo, Talon had a nice little meeting with the floor as Lucifer indeed had heard the heir of Heaven's comment. A roar of rage could be heard by Talon as the Lord of Hell's fury reached a peak. Momentarily even the mental connection with Damien had been severed and disconnected. The bat winged demon writhered on the floor in agony as the fury of Lucifer continued to course through his mind. "What...the hell...are they...doing out there?!" the writhering demon managed to gasp out in pain and a bit of his own anger at it coming through in his tone. Mental pain was not a pain that the demon enjoyed.

penelope insitivly broght her arms up in a form of meanlyess prtection. she looked away from the demon as his onslaught of words tore though her like swords terring through her own flesh. Her index finger placed its self on her bottem lip where it insisted to tremble. She was now fully at a loss of words. She should of never opened her mouth at him.
"How much cruler can you be!?" She questioned qietly not looking for an answer. "I-I dont want any more war thats why i am here!" she said still mearly wispering her thoughts. "But if no one will listen to the other then... Then how can we acheve anything!" She stated feeling herself swell with foolishness and anger. "We fallow our lord for he knows what duties need to be done! We accept his punishment for we know theirs no room for error. thats why so many Soldgers fight! you sau we disgust you for our obedance but arnt you the same with your lord and master Lucifer!" she stated still holding her meak position and trembling fearcly. Yes she was scard but as zeak had told her when they first walked in.
"I may be a pathetic wreck of emotions and much weaker than any of my people But i have to show im not inorder for our men to have courage to fight, so that the women do not loose hope! If thats not strength then i guess you'll have to show me what strength is!" she challanged and tightened her fists preparing for the worst.

Janen listened to the Princess's words though he could visibly see that his words had shaken her quite a bit. "Oh trust me I could be much crueler if my Commander would permit it. Even now you cause someone harm without your knowledge, at least until he starts screaming in agony. What you want is something superficial something that is only temporary. You cannot end war or fighting. Just as with the humans it is written into our very genes because of the differences we hold. You fool no one as your petty words are meaningless when compared to the gallons of blood spilt over centuries of war. Do you honestly think that mere speech will undo everything? That is merely a child's dream" he said closing his eyes for a moment.

"The way we follow our rulers are very different. While you angels are in fear of displeasing or going against your 'Lord' we demons constantly go against ours. Tell me 'Princess' has anyone ever actually challenged your 'Lord' or you for your title? Everyday tens of thousands of demons challenge ours to gain the title of being the Lord of Hell. We do not obediently do everything our 'master' tells us like you angels do, so no we do not do the same as your weak willed race" he said opening his eyes. They seemed to have a burning fire behind them, a spark that was very different from anything an angel could muster.

"You want to know what strength is? Strength is something you do not have. You say that you try to show yourself as strong and brave when neither of those things are obviously suited to you. You deny your true self out of fear. You think your farce helps bring those hope, but tell me what has your 'strength' earned you? A dead angel today? Thousands of dead angels in the last couple hundred of years? True strength is not denying what and who you really are. Even now you stand before me spouting such nonsense and yet you tremble. This of course merely gives off the appearance that you don't even believe in your words yourself! You wonder why no one listens to your words? You truly want to know why? Because your words mean nothing without believing in them. Strength is not something measured on a physical level. You could be the strongest being in the world and still be felled by someone weaker than you. You, who have never experienced the true world can never know what real strength with fake ideals such as the ones you spout now. I am a higher demons that is suppose to be lower to the heirs and know for a fact that my words even now have a consequence and perhaps may mean my death, but unlike you who show fear as you speak your words I feel none. This being I believe every word I've spoken to you and am not afraid to see how the world really is. That is true strength in my opinion, which you show none of. Even now you think strength is physical and that just simply shows how unfit for this you really are" the white haired demon said laughing at the tightening of Penelope's fist. He had no desire to fight with such an angel, plus he knew full well what would happen if he did lay a hand on her. Granted it was really only the latter now that prevented him from doing as such.

Hmm. And once again the peace treat makes a fall for the worse. The princess should think about her words before she spits them at a guy who obvious picks them to hurt her just the right mental way. -sigh-

(*Poke* Just so your aware Hana in my last post up there somewhere it's stated that the mental link had been broken between Damien and Talon since the said bat winged demon is currently in a pained heap on the floor from Lucifer's anger at the Princess's comment about him being a kitten.)

Talon continued to writhe on the floor in pain as he desperately tried to calm the raging Lord that still bellowed in his mind. He wasn't sure what it was that had made the Lord of Hell so angry, but whatever it was he didn't like it. He had heard Damien start to speak in his mind, but the connection had been lost so he was sure that Lucifer had heard none of it. He gazed up at his friend, wincing every time a new howl of anger coursed through his mind, and attempted to give apologetic eyes to the Prince. "Sorry...I don't think...he got your message...I couldn't keep...the connection...it's too hard...to concentrate...right now..." he said as calmly as one could when they had an enraged Satan screaming in their mind.

Janen's gaze went to Phoenix. He had a feeling that what she said wasn't necessarily true, but he didn't care. He had nothing more to say to the Princess nor was he willing to listen to anymore of her 'nonsense' talk. "I've nothing more to converse with this 'Princess' so feel free to take her. I've no desire to listen to anymore of her dreamer nonsense" he said rather calmly, turning his head to once more to show he meant it.

I picked up pain waves from the lava... should I interrupt? Its clear that the problem lays with the link in the air, at which I feel peaks of some sorts. Not angelic peaks thats for sure. Would the cause have happened to lay at the princess her pick of words? Ugh. Maybe I should inform that white haired summoned mister? Too many questions.
((no really, should she interrupt or inform the white haired cuteh?))

(Lol that's for you to decide. XD)

((well I dont want a silverhaired mister looking at me like im nuts.... nor do I want a talon that yells im a filthy angel that shouldnt touch him or anything like that xD well you know... x.x do you want me to solve it or do you want him crawling a bit more Arechi? better question Megan ^.^))

(Lol Talon is the politer one. I think if anyone should worry about hearing that being said about an angel touching him it would probably be from a different demon rather than him. XD Eh Megan? I don't think I'm even going to ask. XD I torture my characters at some point anyways so I don't mind if he's still writhering in pain a bit longer or not. XD)

((I talk to myself Arechi... no need to ask cause its obvious. xP And its not like she would touch him using her magic, cause she would know it wouldnt be helping him. Though she doesnt want a demon yelling at her too xD But then Ill ask the white haired guy so talon can crawl on the floor some more.))

I have decided Ill ask the white haired servant guy, since hes done with his verbal fight against our weak minded princess.... who has maddened the guy the hurt demon was talking with I think... Closing my book, and my eyes, a sigh escaped my lips before I dashed to the white haired demon, my dashing only followed by those who are not weak. Suddenly standing perfectly still in front of the white haired guy.
'Mister, I think the demon whom has summoned you is in trouble concerning a mental link and an enraged person at the other side.' I said casually, not really suspecting anything to come out of this. Though I will act if this guy wont do anything.

Penelope allowed herslef to leave with Phoenix. She allowed his words to swom around her head, and began to think of them as advice rather than the scornfull daggers that he intened them to be. "if i act like i normally do with mother then no one would listen any ways!" She muttered toherself as she walked with Phoenix. "I guess im as foolish as he says!" Sh added a small laugh escaping her mouth as she felt her self still trembling. He was right most of her words never had any heart nore did she ever think of what tosay before she said it. That was one of many flaws. These demons seemed to be bringing the worst of her out.

"My lady im glad your well!" Zeak said as he watched Penelope and Phoenix approche."I was beginning to worry!" He said a smile on his face. He had noticed phoenix leave and when he did he watched where she went to. the whole time he watched his hand on his sword and hiself ready to defend if it were needed. "you should sit and wait for the prince!" He stated watching her stand infront of the throne. he could tell something was wrong but he couldent pin point it.

(oops...I didnt see that..my badness))

Damien kneeled down to his friend and put a hand on him forthat was all the comfort he could give to him. "Maybe I should talk to him directly TAlon. I can't afford to go back to hell because of the treaty so...even though I am loathe to say this maybe I should make a link with him..."

Talon could feel the hand of his friend rest on him in a form of comfort. The gesture fulfilled its purpose to an extent as he felt a bit of comfort in the midst of his pain. His gaze remained on his friend as he worked on thinking about his Prince's suggestion of speaking with his father. "I wouldn't...advise that...right now...He's still...a bit...upset..." he said wincing as another roar of anger swept through his mind. He knew that it would be best to wait until Lucifer had at least calm down before the Heir of Hell attempted to speak to his father.

Janen's gaze went to the priestess looking angel. He raised an eyebrow as she seemed to express some sort of concern. "Yes I figured as such. The 'Princess's' little comment about our Lord has enraged him. Lord Lucifer doesn't look kindly on comments that are made to insult him and the direct result is that his underlings suffer for it. I wasn't joking when I told her that even now she was inflicting pain upon someone. Though there's not much that can be done about it until our Lord calms down" he said with a shrug.

Talon took a deep breath in between the bellows to try and suppress the pain. "You know as well as I that the chances of your father actually accepting a mental link with you. Besides the link he has in my mind isn't of my accord..." he said with a sigh as he managed to get out two sentences before he once more winced in pain. He knew that Damien was correct about it taking a while for his father to calm down and that time was not exactly something on their side. He knew that the human would have at least a few hours from what he could tell.

As asked Talon attempted to talk to his Lord and pass on Damien's request. While he was at it he too tried to soothe Lucifer so as to make him stop screeching like a banshee in his mind, it was driving him insane. Naturally the first time he gave the request to Lucifer the enraged Lord did not listen. "Technically he's punishing you now don't you think? The human that you've fallen for is threatened with death. It's a punishment that suites his tastes, you should know that by now" he said calmly as he again attempted to speak with the Lord of Hell.

After a few more attempts he managed to calm his raging Lord, and thus lessen his headache and pain a bit in the process. It wasn't long before he received the reply to pass on to the Prince. "He refuses. He states that he can hear you just fine from where you are now, as he is watching all of the events and keeping careful tabs on things. He's informed me that I will essentially be playing the role as a puppet and forward his messages onto you. He has stated that if you leave the area now the demons will go on a rampage making peace impossible, and if that is to occur he will take the human's life. So as not to distract you from what it is you wish to say he will pause the spreading momentarily from where it is now, but he shall not regress it" he replied as calmly as he could, forwarding all of what Lucifer had said for him to tell the young Prince. He didn't like the idea one bit, but then again there wasn't much he could actually do. The thought of being a puppet was not something that thrilled him, but for now he had no choice but to obey.

Penelope shook her head at Phoenix's question. She didnt need anything nor did she want anything other than to sit and think. And thats what she did, Penelope sat quietly, she was thinking again. She allowed herself to relax a bit and sit with her hand to her chip proping her head up. Her gaze flowed around the room. she could see where it devided. The Angels and demons were being as bad as the hers themselvs. She heaved a sigh and decited to try and be more herself rather than the cheerfull bubbly person that she showed everyone.
"Zeak do you like me better as i am here or when im acting for father and the prople!?" She asked being rather straght foward. he gaze didnt waver from the sepperation of the angels and demons.

Zeak looked down at her rather surprised at her question. He didnt knwo what tosay But the booming voice in his head shouted at him! It yelled "make her be the symbol i told her to be!" And "If you screw up i swair ill ripp your tanted wings right off!" reguardless Zeak didnt listen. He knew the right answer.
"I like you when you are kind, compassonate, and yourself!" He said thus silencing the voice in his head. "You shouldent care what others think my lady! Just do what you love to do and be who you know you should be! trust in yourself and trust in your own strength. " he said smiling warmly. "Just be yourself reguardless of what anyone may say!" he added as he placed a strong grip on her shoulder to reasure her.

Penelope looked up at Him and smiled. It was a perfect answer. Though Zeak was a Demon he still had the heart of an angel. no one could ever take that from him. "thank you Zeak i think i know what i should do now!" she stated with an equally warm smiled up at him "Um Phoenix, Could you enliten me about your healing abilitys!?" Penelope asked trying to renew herself and get to know who was protecting her. "Id like to know how you will be helping the prince if at all he accepts yur request!"
