Rapid knocking. Kade sits on the couch but looks at the door. It speeds up more. "Come in!" The door slings open and Nyx walks in.

Kade blinks "Oh, hello."

"You wouldn't happen to know where Cole is would you?"

"No, I do not know where a gay man is. Why?"

"Good!" Nyx walks up and attempts to grab Kade by the throat.

"GAHK." It works, he's off guard by it.

"Would you consider yourself a Risen?"

"DEPENDS??? THAT, MEANING?"

"Are you here to help them or help me?" She squints at him.

"Well not you, for sure." he tries to growl a bit. A black snake of stone slithers out from her shadow and runs up her arm. It wraps Kades throat and tightens. Nyx lets go and puts her hands to her hips.

"You're a Risen, then... typical." She sighs.

Kade chokes when the snake tightens, starting to try and grab a hold of it and pry it off, "Not hard to be one then, I think!"

Nyx scoffs, "So who even are you? I've never heard you on DATRRS or anywhere else yet you showed up at that Zinger fight?" The stone snake barely moves.

"I was.. invited! And had a fuckin' uh... mythical dream, related to it I guess." He keeps prying adamantly.

"A gander I take it? Weird dog with a sloppy smile?"

"My, the most accurate description of it I've heard yet!"

"...great, not even the divulgars are on my side anymore," Nyx snarls some as she thinks. The snake is starting to come loose.

He starts trying to pull it more as it loosens. "A shame!" Nyx is thinking as the snake lets go. Kade throws it at a wall as Nyx's ears perk up, she's startled a moment. Kade dusts off his hands "Sorry the demons won."

"Twerp," more snakes slither out from Nyx's shadow. She punches Kade in the area code.

Kade had lacked this experience in his life. He had the luxury and bragging rights to have never had to experience his gongas being obliterated. When he witnessed much the same with Uriel, he laughed as he had no experience with such and believed he would never have such experience in his life. That belief had been cut short within one minute. His plans for the future, ruined. His bragging rights ruined, he has now joined the other half of the male population.

He fucking SCREAMS "GOD- FUC K" and FALLS OVER, KNEES PRESSED TOGETHER. "BITCH!!!!!"

Knight, who is now awake due to the scream, just rolls of the room. Luna watches from the doorframe, terrified. Nyx kicks him in the face

"The rare Nyx losing her damned cool, what the fuck." Luna says. Kade tries to bite her foot he's GROWLING. Nyx shakes her foot, trying to get it free,

"LET GO!"

Kade keeps trying to bite more, and tug it towards him, there's a muffled "FUKC YOU!!!" Nyx falls over and tries to repeatedly kick him in the face with her free foot. It works! He's probably bleeding a lot and wincing but he's trying to bite HARDER and get up shakily get up, his legs remain stiff though. Luna is watching from the sidelines, but is ready to jump in if Kade's unable to handle it. Nyx continues trying to get her foot out, by now there is alot of red blood.

He eventually gets kicked off and manages to sit up. Nyx snarls and summons her opal sword.

Luna jumps in on seeing the Opal. She summons her ichor. "Nyx, nobody wants you here." Luna glares and unsheathes her ichor claymore. Kae backs up a bit, wiping some blood from his face.

"I'm WELL aware of that, bitch!" Nyx growls.

"Then please, skedaddle, whore." Luna points the ichor claymore right at her, glaring and growling. For once, Luna is completely focused. Nyx runs to Kade, trying to slash at him diagonally. Luna quickly parries Nyx's attack with her sword. "Hell no."

He's startled with that, starting to stand "Thanks, Luna."

Luna nods. Nyx scoffs, "Now you're helping th-" the door swings open and Flummox takes a wide step into the room.

"Face it Nyx. You're all alone in the many worlds. Risen don't want your help, Divulgars help Risen. Hell even Sparrow wants absolutely nothing to do with you, opting to instead use you." It's cold, but it's true.

"WHO THE FUCK???" Kade's pointing at Flummox.

Nyx grumbles at Luna. Nyx then snaps a finger at Kade, "Language"

Flummx snickers some, "SO what's going on here huh?"

"Oh hey Flummox. Nyx just casually attacking Kade because Cole's not here." Her focus is still dead locked on Nyx.

Nyx looks between everyone and lowers her sword, "Pfff no?"

Flummox raises an eyebrow at Nyx, "Nyyyyxxxx????" Nyx looks down and frowns some. Luna grins and watches, lowering her sword. Kade looks so confused.

"That's good, Nyxtwix" Flummox pats Nyx on the head. Nyx grumbles. Okay remember that grin Luna had? It's gone and is now replaced with pure confusion. Oh and envy too!

"Nyxtwix???" Luna asks.

"Like I said, we're close." Flummox grins in asymmetrical.

"Huh. That explains a lot, definitely." Luna takes a couple moments to pause, thinking some things over, "so uhhh Flummox, you wouldn't happen to be 'Erik' would you?" Going off the PieWrites banner here.

"HA I wish. That guy hates my guts," Flummox rolls his eyes "Anyways, I better get Twixer out of your hair before theres more damage!"

"Yeah, I think that might be good Flummox." she cringes at the chaos that just erupted here. "Thank you."

"Say bye, Nyxy!" Flummox heads out of the door. On Nyx's way out she gives a death glare while making the motion of cutting her throat.

Luna smugly grins. "Anytime Nyxxie!" She turns to Kade as soon as Nyx is gone. "Kade, do you need first aid?"

Kade blinks a few times "Ice pack for sure. Maybe two, but otherwise I think I'm fine."

Luna smiles, "Be right back." She heads into the kitchen. As Luna walks back in, she catches the four items and hands three of them to Kade. "Two ice packs and a bottle of water." And one for her too. Yippee There's a lot of Nyx blood on the ground. "Um, so lemme just clean this room before we have more issues." She snaps a mop and a bucket of water to the living room as she cleans. Anywhere the blood was, the wooden floors look brand new like the day they entered the house.

"Thank you!" He puts one ice pack between his lets and the other on his face as he lays back.

As Luna mops, she notices the fact that Nyx's blood has wood polish in it "Jeez, that's different. Is this what Harmonia's grandma's house looked like way back when?"

---

Harmonia's taking a nice scenic walk in the woods! Shes so happy! It moves between the trees, a blade in hand. Harmonia is in human form and looks towards where the movement is. "Hello??"

Nyx steps out. She holds a sword and wears her fancy robes.

"Uh... can I help you?"

Nyx's eyelashes are golden and she steps closer, "You are part of the Risen, correct?"

"Uh... yeah?"

"You're Harmonia Iris Reeds...right?" She steps even closer.

"Uh... yeah..." She takes a step back, narrowing her eyes.

Nyx smiles and looks at her. Her eyes are golden, "Good to see you homebrew."

Harmonia's a bit stupid and looks into Nyx's eyes, immedietly turning around and trying to RUN. Nyx stabs the white opal sword into Harmonia's leg. It glows and hums slightly. It feels freezing cold.

Harmonia screams in pain and fear, falling on her face. She tries to grab the sword and pull it out. Nyx stomps down on Harmonia's hand and leg as she rips the sword out. Harmonia screams once again in pain. "WHO ARE YOU??" She yells, trying to get up, shaking badly.

"I raised Rose as one of my own. I nagged in her ear about you, I wanted the hate to brew," Nyx kicks her in the face.

Harmonia moves to the side so Nyx's foot only grazes it, lessening the damage. She attempts to grab her and push her away. "OH SO THATS WHY SHE'S FUCKED UP."

Nyx stumbles back some, "Every shallow bitch has a source and that source is me-" Nyx cuts off her out words with a grunt as she puts as much force as she can into a stomp at her gut.

It works and Harmonia screams in pain before disappearing, reappearing standing up in front of Nyx. Harmonia punches Nyx in the face. Her face rips off and reveals a golden rabbit skull with rubies for eyes. She screeches at Harmonia. Nightjars and owls flood the trees around them.

HARMONIA SCREAMS AS WELL AND TRIES TO RUN THE FUCK AWAY. Nyx steps out from a tree's shadow in front of her and slowly raises the blade towards her. Harmonia puts her hands in front of her face, panicking. "FUCK OFF-"

Theres a sickening feeling of bad luck, the moon is lighting the woods in an eerie glow as she continues to approach. Harmonia backs up, opening her mouth and grabbing her whip. She cracks it at Nyx's hands, trying to make her drop her blade. Nyx arm is moved some from the force but she keeps a strong grip. The grass aound them moves as stone snakes begin slithering out from the shadows. Harmonia notices them and panics, sending her whip to try and wrap around Nyx's sword. It wraps and Nyx pulls on the blade. Harmonia pulls the blade out of Nyx's hands as she stumbles forwards towards Harmonia. Harmonia grabs the sword by the hilt, pointing it at Nyx.

On bringing the blade up she realizes her surroundings have changed.

They stand in an empty large building. Moon light filters through the skylight with a large blood moon. The room is filled with grandfather clocks that tick. Nyx taps her shoulder from behind

Harmonia looks behind her, terror in her eyes. Nyx's face prys open as a stone snake rises out of her mouth and hisses, ready to strike. It's able to, Harmonia too surprised to dodge. "FUCK-"

The snake strikes her neck and injects a venom. She grabs her neck and backs up, panicking. "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT-" Her vision starts bluring and she feels a bit drunk. The snake retreats back into Nyx's mouth.

Harmonia stumbles back, trying to run in the opposite direction from Nyx. After a bit of running she falls to the ground, soon passing out.
