((Yay im noticed xD loved it <3))
'Am I still allowed to stop the bleeding if it occurs again?' I asked the demon, so he could send out the message to lucifer... I wanted to help the girl, it wasnt really her choice to get in this... Though I did stop the slowing down process, im smart enough to take his threats to heart, he sure has some powers from out his chair at hell... I cant ressurect people as of yet, and am not planning on interfering with the cycle of life...

[color=red] Damien whipped out his sword, but did not aim it at Talon. "Then pick a Lesser demon to do what you want! I'm coming to hell!" He looked at Sikura. "Close your eyes and forget what you hear." He looked at Talon, his eyes slowly glazing over as he tiltedhis sword to himself. "I'm gong to kill him Talon. I will no longer be a pawn to him, waiting for him to kick the bucket whtn it wil not happen. He wants me to be a demon of my rank then so be it. I choose to take my place on the throne now!" He knew the quickest way to hell and he said a few words to his sword which glowed before impaling himself in the heart. He barely let out a sound as his body disapeared, returning back to hell. [/color[

(Lol. XD)

Talon nodded his head. "Yes you're permitted to stop the bleeding, and recover the amount of blood she's lost, but nothing more" he said as his tone remained the same and he didn't seem to blink even once. He could still hear the words of Lucifer ringing in his head, but he didn't quite relay them. They had been directed towards the Prince. Something about how he still had to finish the treaty, sign and enforce it, but he seemed almost deaf to those words at the moment.

Slowly he seemed to snap out of his trance at Damien's threat to kill Lucifer and at the rather loud bellowing laughter of Lucifer in his mind. "What?" he asked at first a little dumbfounded before the words finally sunk in. "You know as well as I do that, that would not be a good idea..." he started saying and then witnessed as the Prince impaled himself and made his way back to Hell. Calmly he let out a sigh and ran a hand threw his hair.

"That idiot doesn't think things through. And I say that with the most heartfelt concern that a demon can actually have. Not only does Lord Lucifer technically hold all the cards in his hand, but the Prince is not yet ready to either take his father's life nor ascend the throne. Who does he expect to stop our Lord from killing that human girl now?" he said more to himself than anyone else. He knew that it was a point that his friend was currently not thinking about. In a matter of seconds he knew the Lord of Hell could easily end the life of the human girl that he currently had in his 'grasp'.

He let out another sigh as his mind started to think of what could be done. "JANEN!" he called loudly and was slightly pleased when the white haired demon immediately came to his Commander. "I've an important task to give you. Go to Hell. Find Damien and tell him to get his royal behind back here for the sake of his human's life. You are then to ensure he comes back here understood?" he said in a more authoritative tone than he had ever had during the entire night. It was clear that the Talon that had been around had reverted to his 'Commander of Hell' status and was not one to play around.

Janen merely sighed and nodded. He knew that there was no argument that he could pose towards the demon. He quickly closed his eyes and awaited what he knew was coming. He didn't have to wait long as he felt the familiar sensation of Talon's curved blade pierce his skin and body to the core. He felt pain for only a second, as the blade curved up and slashed his vitals fairly quickly, and was soon on his way back to Hell.

'I really wish he would have sent me the non painful way...' he thought with a sigh as his body reformed in Hell, baring the wounds on his body that his Commander had given him. His gaze glanced around as he searched out his Prince. "Prince Damien! Prince Damien where the Hell are you? Commander Talon says you need to return back to the Earth if you don't want him to touch your human!" he shouted hoping that the Prince would hear him and trying to get a little revenge on his Commander for killing him again.

Looking at both leave the hard way, I sighed... If they wanted I could have set up a portal?
'Thanks...' I muttered softly, I wanted to play with the cute demon some more after this! I mean, he raised his head when he said he was something and not someone, as if thats a reason to raise your head, I would lower it if I would ever admit such a thing! And I wanted to find out more about demons, because I hate having wrong ideas.

Talon's gaze left the Priestess angel for a few moments and instead went to Heaven's heir and her fallen body guard. "I'm sure my Prince will return momentarily. My second can be rather...persuasive when it comes to such things" he sighed as he had a feeling that the said demon would use any means necessary to follow his order to get his friend to come back, including endangering the bat winged demon's life. 'I've sent an idiot to retrieve and idiot...What was I thinking?' he thought with a sigh. His authoritative persona disappeared as he didn't really like to have it active at such events.

His gaze then returned to the priestess angel as she mumbled her thanks. "If I didn't know better I would say your disappointed?" he questioned as he raised an eyebrow. He couldn't imagine what would cause something like that so perhaps he was merely imagining it.

Janen let out another sigh as he continued to search. "And by touch I don't mean in the good way! I mean in the disrespectful, hurtful, malicious and evil way!" he shouted. He was truly going to live up this opportunity. His Commander wasn't around to deny such things, and with Lucifer still having a mental connection with him, confirming it mentally would be out of the question. The white haired demon was also a bit thankful that Talon's reputation of being rather cruel would help play into his plan of punishing his Commander quite nicely as well. Whether it be angel, demon or human it was known that if the bat winged demon didn't like them he wouldn't hesitate to destroy them. Adding that with his 'battle happiness', Janen's words were necessarily something that wasn't to really be doubted.

Penelope shot a glar over at the prince as he suggested that she marrie Talon insted of him. Sh was slightly offened by this but eather way she didnt want to marrie any demons. She could see that talon too was shocked at this little out burst but before she could retort at the prince he had stuck himself and was gone. Rather speachless she began to think of how stupid and foolish he was. How on earth was he going to save the human! The terms was that they create and enfore a treaty then the human would be spaired. She gave a glance over at Talon as he had called the white haired demon she had a spat with earlyer. She was alittle put off by his presence but was still shocked to see Talon kill him.
"What a fool!" She finbaly voiced."Im just going to write up what we have and save his human before i even go and voice my opponion to father!" She said coldly as she snatched Talons hand as she walked by. " Zeak get Sikura please We have some work to do!" She stated as she dragged Talon along.

"Yes my lady!" Zeak replied as she had grabbed talon and began going back to the castle. "Please come with us pristess!" he stated to The other angel of whom was helping the human girl. "The princess is rather upset and in a difficult bind!" He explained with a sigh as he carfully pucked up Sikura and fallowed Penelope into the castle and to a empty room that worked well enough as a confrence room.

"Your all my witnesses to this work in progress treaty!" She stated as she slammed the quill and note paper onto the table and seated herself confertably. "When i present this to everyone Ill need YOU to help me!" She said directing her attenchion to talon. He was still a bit shook up but rather profesional looking. "I prey you can do that so everyone doesn't think i just came up with a bunch of horse shit!" She stated. She gave a glance at Zeak who only looked up at her sudden choice of words. He was gently placing Sikura on the floor so that the Pristess could do her job.

Talon was a bit shocked when he felt the Princess grab him suddenly without warning and began dragging him. Immediately felt a new pain course through his system as the Princess touched him. He didn't have his patch on so the pain was more intense than it had been before. He couldn't help but wince the entire way. A few time he tried to pull his hand out from her grasp, although the pain that continued to course through him prevented any actual strength to be in it.

By the time they had bad it to the empty room and Talon was released a light sheen of sweat had appeared on the bat demon's brow and his body shook as his breathing seemed to deepen. "Next time...please do give me...so sort of warning before you grab me. Your aura is rather...bright and without my patch...my body can't quite handle it as well" he said in between pants. He laid a hand on the table as he worked to steady himself. Even with his condition he attempted to maintain a more professional look.

The Princess's words about the treaty slowly sunk in as the pain started to recede slightly. "I am not in nearly enough authority to authorize anything that is written. Even if I were to say that if it were presented that would not be adequate enough for the demons. For the demon's it would require our Prince to be saying as such not I. You see although I am a demon I too was once an angel. That naturally would work against this situation as they'd believe I was a sympathizer for my past race, despite my reputation and words" he said as he managed to gain control over his voice and breathing, though the hand that rested on the table still violently trembled.

Phoenix lands gracefully and figures she should return. She hoped that nothing too dramatic happened in the short while she was away. As she stepped inside she let out a small sigh realizing she had not been so lucky. She walked near to the others but did not get involved. If they needed her they would say so.

Penelope Glanced up at talon She had forgotten that it was painfull to him for her to touch him. She gave a sympathetic look at him and showed that she was sorry for being so hasty.
"I guess were at a cross roads!" She said rather frustrated that she could write a whole treaty up and be done but it wasnt going to be enforced but on her side becaus the prince had to be rash and run off to "kill" his father. to show her frustrtations Penelope let out a lud irritated scream as she pulled at her hair and slumped herself over the table. She then allowed herself to go limp and another scream eruped form her as she stamped her feet on the floor angrily. "THAT FOOL IS GOING TO BE THE END OF HIS OWN PROGRESS" She screamed refering to the small progress they had with saving SIkura. "HES GOING TO BE THE ONE TO KILL HER AND NOT HIS FATHER!" She shouted again as she burried her head in her arms and whiled angrily.

Zeak watched his princess have a small meltdown. He aslo listened to Metho begin to laugh at the situation. "My daughter brings up a good Poing HA HA HA!" Methos laughed in Zeaks head.
"Why dont you Save her then My lord!" Zeak spoke rather coldly out loud not really caring if anyone eard.
"BAh Save a human!?" Meothos asked zeak "If i wanted to save a human it would be one with allegnce to me Not that princlly brat!" meothos said scornfully.
"Do it anyways my lord, Show your support for your daughter and the End of this pointless war!" Zeak retored rather angrily. This caused Methos to send a shock wave of pain through the Fallens body and his grey wings turned to pure black.
"At the cost of your freedom I shall think about it!" Methos snarled back as Zeak doubled over biting back the pain through out his entire body.

As calmly as Talon could he placed his shaking hands over his ears. "Please do calm yourself. My subordinate is currently working on retrieving our Prince back from Hell. Now is not a time for such things as tantruming over my Prince's actions. Instead, although I can not fully authorize anything, new points can be written up or thought up for discussion for when he returns" he said rather calmly.

His gaze drifted towards the pained body guard. Even through the screams and shrieks of the Princess as well as the covering of his ears he could hear some of the fallen angel's conversation, or at least see his lips moving. 'He must have a sort of link to the 'King' of Heaven as I do to Lord Lucifer...' he thought recognizing the characteristic of speaking to oneself aloud. His thoughts were only confirmed as he witnessed the fallen's wings begin to change to a darker shade. "Whatever you doing you may want to cease if you still want a chance to regain your access to Heaven. Methos is a rather unforgiving and quite cynical old bas...never mind. The point is negotiating with him is useless in your state" he said fairly calm even though he truly wished to finish his insult of Methos outloud rather than continuing it in his mind as he was now. He figured though that now was not the time for him to relieve his anger towards the ruler of Heaven.

Phoenix could see that Zeak was in pain once again due to the connection he had with the Lord of Heaven. She walked forward and said, "Should I assist?" Normally she would have just helped but if His Majesty was involved she was not sure it was wise to interfere. If given permission she would assist as quickly and efficiently as possible.

[color=red] As soon as Damien reformed in hell he litterally hit the ground running. He was already in the palace by the time Jannen even arrived back in Hell. Before opening the doors Damien sheathed his sword, checking his outfit and ran his fingers through his hair. Just because he was i a hurry didn;t mean he couldn't still look Princelly in the court. He slammed open the doors and the lesser demons jumped and then quickly bowed as he entered. Horns blew announcing his arrival, albeit a bit late. He approached his father on the throne, glared at him with hot death but kneeled in front of him. "My Lord Lucifer. I come to you directly from the negotiations of the peace treaty. Nothing will get done because of you and your interference needs to stop in order for it to progress."

It was obvious that he was referring to Sikura and Lucifer speeding up the mark on it. "Should the interference continue there will be no treaty at all and it will be nonstop war all over again. I emplore you, King of Hell, to consider my words and honor them." He wondered if his father would get the hint of threat in his sentance although his manor was the most polite a Prince should be. He had decided not to attack his father directly and kill him, but had come up with this plan instead.

Janen let out a few more sighs as he continued wandering around Hell searching for the Prince. He wouldn't go into the court, as he wasn't ranked high enough to simply go in there. If it was perhaps Talon then maybe he could, but this of course was Janen. "Seriously Prince Damien don't make me run all around Hell trying to find you. You know the longer you stay away and leave your human's side there's nothing stopping a lower demon nor someone like Talon from simply killing her since she's some of the source of the problems. And you know that he's under direct order of Lord Lucifer so he just merely has to tell him to kill her!" he shouted rather loudly so that it would at least echo enough through Hell.

Lucifer wasn't surprised to see his son there at all. "My interference is necessary. Without any sort of drive you have a tendency to accomplish nothing. Your behavior from early has deemed it necessary for me to take matters into my own hands, and if killing this human is what I must do then so be it. Should you fail in accomplishing a treaty then the human will die. If not from the mark then by another who is under my order to do so. Even now you come here and waste 'precious' time while your human is on the verge of death" the Lord of Hell said standing and implicating a threat of his own.

The words of Talon's second had echoed enough for the Lord to easily hear them. "Ah it seems Talon has sent someone to come after you. I suggest you take your leave now before I decide to simply end the human's life now. You should count yourself lucky that I'm being this generous. I have every mind to simply end her life here and now" Lucifer said cooly as he looked at his son with unaffectionate eyes. Such things were never present on the Lord of the Underworld and perhaps never would be. This of course didn't mean he didn't like his son, but rather it was simply not the demon way to show compassion or affection.

Damien new what he had to do, wether he liked it or not. He did not stand for it was not proper. "Than kill her, for I shall not do as you asked. What you have asked is that of a death sentance for me and I refuse to do so! I have grown up in this war, I have never known peace." He defyed protocol and looked directly at his father, his eyes just as cold and uncaring. "Kill me now as well for being defiant and refusing to mary an Angel" he heard a few demons gasp at such a notion of a dempn mating with an Angel. "If I am not allowed to be with Sikura then fine then. I will accept that, but I will not be forced to wed an enemy. I doubt you would have kept your promise anyway of saving her after what you have done, so if you are going to kill her at least do so quickly and end her suffering. You would still have eons to punish me and enjoy every second of it."

Lucifer's eyes continued to hold the same vacant emotion as his eyes met with his son's. "The marriage to the angel Princess was merely a proposal. However if you'd prefer to look at it as an order and still have me kill the human than I've no qualms with that. I had actually planned to carry out my word of ceasing my increased speed if you had indeed proven to reach my conditions, but apparently that human female was the same as all your other flings. So be it I'll have Talon kill her then since you appear to have no objections towards it. However as you are full aware slow and painless is not that demon's way so I can not assure such for her. As for the peace treaty if it truly comes down to it I'll simply condone it myself. The Heir of Heaven seems more than willing to draw it up and with Talon as a link I can easily get my points across and simply make an appearance myself if it calls for it" the Lord said with an uncaring shrug. He cared not about the human's life nor the gasps that the lower demons had given. After all he was the Lord of Hell and his words were law.

"For your punishment merely knowing you could have fully prevented the death of your 'precious' human will suffice for now. Killing you wouldn't matter as you'd have no place to go rather than simply back here" Lucifer said laughing. The Lord once more took his seat upon the throne.

"That's not what I wanted at all and you know it!" He stands up, totally breaking protocol. "You don't want Sikura to be on the throne? Then fine! Take Talon as the new Prince. Why send me up there to do the negotiations in the first place if you and the king of heaven could have done it all by yourselves? What was the point! I also don't understand why I care for this human at all, but I want her Father! Just as badly as you had wanted my mother, if only to get an heir to the throne. I will go back up there, just tell me one thing." He looked around at all the demons gathered. "What do we get out of this time of peace? You know as well as I that we may not be able to go to heaven, but angels sure as Hell can fall here! Our numbers will always grow, even under this treaty. Is that what you are waiting for? You want our numbers to outrank God's? Is that why you hold the ones born to fight back? Tell me father and I will go back with Janen and do everythingyou have asked without complaint. I want an honest answer father. I want to know why you want this treaty so darn bad."

"That pretell is simple. I do not go myself simply due to the fact that my appearance would cause Methos to come himself. If a meeting between him and I were to occur then I know for a fact that both races would end up being destroyed. As for Talon I cannot take a demon that was once as an angel as an heir, nor one that isn't of my own blood" the Lord replied relatively calmly. He crossed his legs in a relaxed fashion as he actually thought about his son's words.

"You desire this woman simply because she is something that you cannot attain. As for your own mother it was simply a need to relieve a demon's urges that resulted in your birth. Conceiving a child with her though is not one that will become the next heir. That will only occur once you've settled with a natural born demon. I shall not of course condone or accept taking her as a queen or mate. If she's merely a passing fling then I care not what you do with her, however your mark will more than likely not remain" he said simply. He once more considered his answer to her question.

"That is relatively simple. Your thoughts are almost there my son, however you haven't quite grasped it fully yet. You see with this treaty with Heaven our movements about the Earth wouldn't be as restricted as they have been in the past. On top of that it will possibly enable demons to have an easier time in invading Heaven and taking over. In truth I have no true desire for peace. It's merely a rouse. There of course is one other reason for this, but that is something that I cannot even reveal to you" Lucifer explained with a smirk on his face. "Now that I have answered your questions for the most part for the time being you of course are to return to Earth and continue things without any further interruptions. And possibly before that loud mouth white haired demon that Talon calls a Second decides to actually get some back bone and enter here. If there's one thing aside from Heaven's creatures it's that demon" he said with a rather annoyed sigh.

"Do I really have to keep hunting you down Prince Damien? For the love of all things holy and unholy you're going back up there one way or another before Talon wrings my neck!" Janen shouted again with a loud sigh. He had been trecking around Hell as he continued to search for the missing heir that he knew was somewhere in Hell.

"Then when the time comes for me to make a legit heir to the throne I'll do the same you did with me, however Sikura will always be by myside as long as I have a say about it. I will take Janen with me." He bows respectifully and exits. He quickly finds Janen and grabs him roughly by the back of the neck. "I don'tlike being followed." He carried the lesser demon by the neck all the way back to earth and back to the garden

Noticing people had moved slightly he found them again and threw Janen at his Second's feet."Never, I repeat, never send someone after me. I can handle things on my own. Next time he may not come back in one peice...or at all." He grabs the paper the Princess wrote. "We don't have to marry but we can keep close relations with each other," He signs the paper. "I have signed this treaty and you have witnessed, so shall it be done."

"We shall see. After all a human's life is brief compared to ours and it's rare for any human to survive a species change" Lucifer laughed as his son departed. He then simply leaned back in his throne and continued to witness the proceedings of the meeting. He had paused in his mental torment of Talon while he spoke with his son, but was please to find that he was still hurting and once more took up to his mental torturing of the bat winged demon.

Janen had, had his back turned when he suddenly felt a rough grab around his neck. He immediately knew it to be the Prince he had been searching for the moment he heard his voice. "And I don't like ticking off my Commander, so you'll just have to deal with it" the white haired demon simply said. He didn't bother struggling to free himself since it was the heir after all. He really didn't like the idea of going back up to Earth and having to deal with not only demons that were lesser than him but angels as well.

As the mental torture once more commenced Talon was forced to sit against the wall, careful of his right wing, with his head laid back and his eyes closed. He didn't open his eyes as he felt the presence of his friend return and the feeling of his Second being thrown at his feet. "Then never ever give me a reason to do as such. You had said you were going there to attempt to kill our Lord and in turn forfeit your own life. How can you expect me to allow that? Have I really been gone so long on the battle field that you no longer know me? You perhaps may not care what happens to your life, but I do. And you should also have known I care not for the lives of my subordinates. That one is no different. It's like you don't know me at all anymore" he said opening his eyes slightly to look at the Prince and toeing his Second with his boot. His body still trembled from the after effects of the Princess's touch and the mental torture he was currently receiving made him appear to have a rather tired appearance.

He watched as the prince had gone over to sign the incomplete treaty. "What you signed is an incomplete treaty, or rather something that was perhaps a rough draft. There are still things to be discussed" he said closing his eyes once more. Once more he could hear the ramblings of Lucifer, some pertaining to the treaty while others were just merely things to increase his headache.

I hmph'ed at the notice of my dissapointment, I was an angel, my goal was to protect humans and dumb angels. And in this case maybe some demons but that would be odd, even for me. Sitting down at a random chair, my elbows at my legs, my head in my hands, looking interested at all the occurances, and a bit of healing once the human started to bleed again, though the spreading of the mark worried me. -sigh- Looking at the white haired demon getting thrown in front of the feet of the now trembling demon, who liked pain so I cant really care to heal him unless he asks for it, I laughed softly. I do get why he was ashamed so fastly, if he gets thrown around like that. The angels who work with me wouldnt dare!

Penelope Applologized to talon for having a tantrum. She glanced over at Zeak and saw how dramatically his wings turned. She felt so bad for him. Fearing it was her fault Penelope quickly went to work creating a rugh draft to the Treaty. however the minut she stopped writing and began thinking the prince appeard causing her to stan from her seat and watch him move about the room in a hurried fashon. He snagged the paper from her and signed his name. This caused her to glar at him. As soon as Talon had stopped speaking Penelope allowed herself to act on her emotions towards the prince. Her hand flew through the ait and made contact with the side of his face.
"WHAT KIND OF IDOUT LEAVED HIS BELOVED TO DIE IN PAIN AND FEAR!" She screamed angrily at him. "I dont know what it was you spoke to your father about but it could of waited untill we made him happy with our work insted of LOOSING PREASHOUS TIME!" She shouted at him as she clenched her fists and prepared for his rage to erupt from her hitting him."

Zeak was beginning to feel the pains of loosing what he had gained. His chest became heavy and his heart seemed to clench tighter and tighter. He could feel his wings throb from the demonic aura that began to envlope him. All that Hard work taken away just at the suggestion to save the humans life. What a pain! He thought only to have Methos grunt in his head.
"You forget Zeak, Im not as heartless as The Deomn of hell." Methos stated in his head. This made zeak sigh with releaf. So all of his hard word was going away because the lod of heeaven WAS going to save the girl. thank the heavens! Zeak though once again to get a small laugh out of Methos.
"Please," Zeak began before he felt a quick pain through his body at the subtle movement. "I would appreciate a little help!" He said with a small gasp and a hard swallow. "methos was being crule to him. "I would even suggest helping that demon!" he said Pointing to Talon who was in worse shape than him.

((Thank you ^-^))

Damien answered the princess first though not actually looking at her at all. "We haven't lost anything. I just had to talk to my father in person with out people eavesdroping." He was looking at Zeak with a vacant expression. He showed no emotion or anything as he turned to Talon. "A rough draft is good enough to start with. As we have said wewill add when it is needed and necesary. I'm sure if Lucifer wants to tell you what we talked about he will, but I think he has more fun torturing you than anything else." He leaned against the wall as he watched his friend, with a knowing smile. A smile that said I can't wait to tell you what I know and you dont!

"On top of that, why would I want to kill him now if you weren't there to follow me? That's just silly! On the contrary we had a nice talk in the palace, no blood spilt. He just doesn't want Sikura to give birth to the next Prince and so forth so I agreed to that. I'll just do what he did when it comes down to it. No use fighting over something so meaningless." He shrugged and looked back at Sikura, smiling at her.

Sorry Chikuma! I seen your post then forgot about it after reading what was after it :P I fixed my last post, Just read zeaks part kuz he was approched by you in the first place! SOOOO sorry!))

Penelope glared at Damien. She didnt like how he just sorta blew everything off. He wanted to talk to his daddy! She sneered angrily to herself. As she ploped down in her chair and thought of all the horrible things she could think to do to that stubern prince. She glanced over at him as she finished a final though on the paper and Signed her own name.
"You still didnt answer my question!" She stated rather coldly to the prince as she stood and rolled the paper in her hands and approched him. "What kind of Idout leaves his beloved to suffer alone!?" She stated thistime more than asked. She was showing him how upset she was with his sudden departure and his rushed actions upon arrivle.

Phoenix got right to work and pulled some things from her bag. She hoped dearly that Lord Methos would not punish her but she was tired of seeing people in pain. She slide some pills in his mouth and said simply, "Swallow those." She moved on hand to his forehead and the other over his heart. She closed her eyes and began the ritual. The great thing about it was that even if Lord Methos denied her prayer she was using other magic that did not belong to his realm. Those would take affect to quell some of his pain. Though if Lord Methos decided to keep inflicting Zeak her method would only half the pain instead of ridding him of it completely.

Once she was done she asked, "How do you feel?" She had heard what he had said about the demon and replied, "I will assist him if given permission. I will not over step my bounds and ruin what we are trying to create."

With that she went to Talon and said, "May I help you sir?"

((Thanks for editing. No worries, Phoenix has been in the background a bit))
