1x1 W/ Unravel The Dreams ~ The Demon/Angel War

[Unravel the Dreams]

Micah Raziel

Be strong now because things will get better.
It might be stormy now, but it can't rain forever.

Micah had spoken Jannah's name more for himself than to answer the demon's question. He didn't think about her often, but he figured he should at least start trying to remember her name better. "Whether I like her or not isn't important," Micah replied. "It's not going to get you out of being prisoner, and it's not going to keep me from marrying her." But by not answering, he knew he was answering. It was an easy question to answer. "I don't dislike her," he decided, again answering her question more for himself than her. Micah frowned at her when she mentioned her being in an arranged marriage. "I never said I was in an arranged marriage... I make it that obvious, huh?" If he'd been marrying out of choice, he'd probably have remembered Jannah's name. Surprise flickered across his face for a second before he could gain control of himself. "I would never want to kill Princess Jannah. She has a family who loves her, and she is a kind and good princess. The arranged marriage isn't her fault. But to each their own, I suppose."

Micah stared down at the demon's choker in his hand. He was surprised she had given it to him instead of keeping it safe herself. Seeing no point in trying to argue with her now, he closed his fingers around it and put it into his pocket, making a mental note to give it back to her at a later time. He shrugged when she said about him knowing how to make jewelry. That's what happens when one has four little sisters! "Unfortunately, the necklace isn't a sign I trust you, but a sign I don't. Like I said, it will prevent you from using your powers or escaping," he said. It was a little harsher than anything he'd said to her, but he wanted to make this clear to her. He could act kind and a little friendly, but she wasn't his friend. Even so, he took a step forward when she grabbed her head. "I'm sorry. I should have warned you that might happen. Are you okay?"

Echo scanned the map Queen Jesica brought out for him. He looked up at her when she said it wasn't normal for Princess Francesca to be kidnapped. He hoped it wasn't normal to be kidnapped! Turning his attention back to the map, he stayed quiet while he thought about the possibilities. Finally, he nodded. "The angels," he said, pointing at their spot on the map. "We're at war with the angels, so there is use in kidnapping one of the princesses, either for information or ransom. Demons are weak to their power, so kidnapping her wouldn't be that hard if they were smart about it." He went back to being silent, waiting for her thoughts on what he had said.

[ Francesca
Demonessia ]

Francesca giggled softly, "it's very obvious haha" she laughed happily. She shook her head as she calmed herself down. Francesca then snickered as he said he didn't dislike her. "Sure you don't.." She muttered to herself, but her smile then disappeared as she nodded. "But I understand where you're coming from, you can't do much about it, especially if you're far into it, which I'm guessing you are" She then shrugged, her small smile coming back. "But- I don't think thats my buisness, you do you I suppose" She then burst out laughing, "I did NOT say to kill her! Oh my mother-". She giggled for a few moments before she sighed softly. "I may be a demon but I don't kill people willy nilly- jeez what kind of girl do you think I am?"

Francesca shrugged, "you let me touch your hand though" She then smirked, "most would've pulled away" She then leaned back to stretch, making a small noise as she did so. She then looked up at him as he spoke a bit harshly, her smile then faltered as she nodded. Francesca then looked up at him as she rubbed your head. "You say you don't trust me, yet you worry about me? Hehe.. You're a weird one.." She then sighed softly as her eyes got used to light again after being shut for a bit. But she eventually nodded. "Yeah I'm fine.. I've been through worse, trust me" She smirked

[ Jesica
Demonessia ]

Jesica scanned the map along with him, but her eyes widened a bit in surprise when he landed on the angels. "wha-" She then shook her head, "That was what I originally thought- But I or one of the guards would've sensed angels here. Hell- Lucifer would have a field day!" She then sighed as she shook her head."I cannot deny though, it is a fair assumption... But even if we were to get her back, we're outnumbered."

It might be stormy now, but it can't rain forever.

Micah sighed when she agreed to it being obvious. He wished he could have made it less obvious. He wished he could've loved Jannah, and he was sure he someday would grow to care about her. He didn't lie when he said she was a kind girl, but he had always been angry to have the choice of who he married taken away from him. He had blamed her for this for a long time, and when he finally realized she might be as upset with the arrangement as he did, he stubbornly stayed neutral about her. Besides, it didn't help that he'd only met her once or twice. He nodded when she said didn't think it was any of her business. It wasn't, and he'd prefer not to talk about it, but a small smile appeared on his face when she burst out laughing. "Yes, I know you weren't saying I should kill her. I was only surprised about what happened to the prince you were arranged with. You have some wild little sisters... Not that I can talk much. I'm pretty sure one of my sisters would like to kill or find some way to get rid of Princess Jannah." Speaking of his wild sister... He opened up their bond to see what had become of Amaris. He had his answer moments later. The guard had found her and was bringing her to Micah.

Micah hadn't thought much about her touching his hand. He had his powers. He felt safe, but he should probably be more cautious, especially when the demon would be in the castle near his little sisters. He would not let her hurt them. "There's a difference between trusting and feeling concern for someone, but I've been told by four other people, constantly, that I'm weird, so that's fair," he said with another small smile.

"It's not like I wanted to get lost. I really thought I knew where I was going. And, yes, I know Micah is going to get upset at me for not being patient, but he shouldn't have ignored us. He should have kept us updated with what was going on. Eve is so scared. If anything, I should be upset at him. Don't you agree?" Amaris walked in front of the cell, talking an exasperated guard's ear off.

"Oh, and here comes one of those people," Micah said, moving forward to open the cell door. Amaris face lit up when she saw her brother.

"Micah! You're okay!" She dashed forwards and nearly knocked him down with an enthusiastic hug. Micah quickly glanced back at the demon before returning Amaris' hug. His sister pulled away. "Don't get mad at me. I thought you'd need back up in case the de-" Amaris froze when she saw the demon princess.

"They could have found some way to get in without being sensed. They could have also hired a demon to kidnap the princess, and given them something to use that would contain their power to weaken her." Echo stared at the map a little longer, trying to come up with ways the other realms would have captured the princess. He decided to entertain the idea of the angels for now. "If you're outnumbered, you're not going to want to charge into this blindly. Do you have any information about the angel kingdoms?"

[Azura ~~]

[ Francesca
Demonessia ]

Francesca hummed thoughtfully. "I guess you have a point.. You can feel for somebody I guess.." She then groaned, "ugh! I hate when people are right" she complained but giggled shortly after. She giggled as he smiled, she then laughed in triumph. "Ha! I knew I could get you to smile!" She smiled happily when he smiled. She then snickered, "oh trust me, if it concerns my wellbeing, my sisters will go all out.. They got grounded by Jess though so I guess they got in trouble for it. But I did thank them after" She then tilted her head when he said people have called him weird. "Siblings, I assume? I mean, I understand hehe" she put a hand to her chest, chuckling quietly.

Francesca then heard talking as her smile faded slightly, but when Micah confirmed who it was she pushed some of her hair back. She then leaned back a bit in her cell when his sister tackled him, she covered her mouth with her hand as to not giggle. But Francesca's smile faltered a bit. Isabella would do that to Francesca when she had come back from a mission or the human world. Francesca's eyes then widened as the younger angel froze, Francesca blinked back at her as looked at Micah for a moment before looking back at his sister. "Uh- Hi?"

~~~~~~~~~~~

[ Jesica
Demonessia ]

Jesica blinked, "That- could be a possibility but-" she then stopped herself, already angry at herself already. She then shook her head. "I agree.. I very much agree.. I have to plan this if I want to get my sister back.." She then looked at Echo, "I don't know much, all I can guess right now is that they're heavily guarded, they're expecting us to charge in and try to take Francesca back.."

Micah Raziel

It might be stormy now, but it can't rain forever.

Micah tilted his head at the giggling and smiling demon. "You know, you're a little weird yourself," he said. "I've never met someone who could feel joy over making their captor smile." Well, Amaris might be one who would get excited for making her captor smile, but Micah could see her trying to make them more upset and frustrated than happy. Mel and Kayla would be fully focused on getting out, and Eve would be too terrified to react much. In a way, it made Micah just a little more suspicious of this demon.

Micah watched as Amaris looked the demon over. A demon had killed Evangel, and this was only the second time she had come across one. He could sense the fear through her bond. Her hand snaked up and grabbed onto his tightly. Mar, it's okay. You're safe. She can't use her powers, and I would never let her do anything to you. Without looking away from the demon, Amaris nodded. Please, say something, Amaris. Try not to show your fear.

Amaris nodded again and opened her mouth to speak. "...Dang, Micah! She's pretty! I thought she would look ugly like that other demon we-" Micah slapped his hand over her mouth to stop her from talking. Her nervous gaze darted up to him quickly.

"Amaris, we need to get you a filter," Micah said, smiling despite himself. She spouted out whatever she was thinking when she became nervous.

Amaris' cheeks became a little red. "What? It's a compliment! I called her pretty!"

Echo Rigel

Echo stood calmly when Queen Jesica seemed to get angry, whether at herself or him, he didn't know. He didn't care either. She'd hired him to help her figure out where her sister was and how to get her back. That was exactly what he planned to do. "Their kingdoms will be heavily guarded," he agreed. "The angel's have multiple kingdoms. They have a large one that is considered their 'main' kingdom, and then they have smaller ones scattered around. Before you plan anything, you'll need to confirm that the angels do have the princess and which kingdom took her."

[Azura ~~]

[ Francesca
Demonessia ]

Francesca didn't know what to say, instead she just looked at the ground until somebody talked. The demoness noticed that the younger angel had gripped onto her brothers hand, that was a pretty understandable reaction. Francesca just hummed softly.
She'd gotten reactions like this before, either by angels or by humans and sometimes even a vampire or two, so she wasn't really fazed with it, it didn't effect her anymore.

When the younger angel started rambling, Francesca put a hand over her mouth to prevent herself from laughing, chuckling quietly as she faced the floor. Francesca looked back up as she sighed softly to get rid of any giggles, "well- firstly, thank you for the compliment" Francesca smiled as she giggled quietly. She then smiled softly at the younger angel, "Ciao, I'm Franny, you are?" She tilted her head at the younger angel, only attempting to become friends with the angel as she was young. She reminded Francesca of her younger sister, Isabella.

Francesca then shook her head at Micah, "No no let her talk, she can have freedom to speak" she joked, giggling softly

~~~~~~~~~~~

[ Jesica
Demonessia ]

Jesica was getting a bit agitated, more at herself then anything. She then sighed softly, shaking her head. "Yes. That would be ideal, how we would confirm I dont-" Jesica's eyes then widened a bit, "No.. We do have a way to know.. Francesca recruited some vampires a while ago, we may be able to use them to envade the angel kingdom as a diversion and see if she's there.."

Amaris looked up at Micah when the demon, Franny, asked about her name. They didn't have to speak mind to mind for Micah to know her question. He glanced over at Franny before meeting his sister's gaze. He nodded. If Franny was going to be in the castle, she'd learn all their names eventually anyway, whether they told her or not. "My name is Amaris."

I didn't expect her to be so friendly and unintimidating. The other one wasn't... He wasn't friendly at all, and he was really scary.

Micah could see that Amaris was trying to keep up a brave face with a kind smile at the demon, but he could sense her sadness. Not all demons are bad, Amaris, just like not all angels are good. Even so, be wary. I've only spoken with her for a little bit, and we don't really know what she is like.

A grin split across Amaris' face when Franny told Micah to let her talk. She smacked his arm. "Yeah, she's right Micah I should have the freedom to speak." She turned to Franny. "Can you believe this guy?" she scoffed, pointing to Micah with her thumb.

Echo Rigel

Echo allowed himself some time to consider her idea before nodding in agreement. "That could work," he said. There might be some losses, but, even if only one vampire made it out with information, they'd be getting somewhere. "I'd suggest you have them invade the castle of the main kingdom. I'd imagine they would be more likely to kidnap one of the princesses than the other kingdoms would."

[Azura ~~]

[ Francesca
Demonessia ]

Francesca smiled softly, "nice to meetcha Amaris, I would give you a nickname but I guess I should stay somewhat formal, given my situation.." She glanced back at Micah before returning her gaze to Amaris, "you've got a nice name, it suits you." Francesca smiled.

As Amaris smacked Micahs arm, Francesca laughed aloud happily, "Oh wow- she's got you there" she turned to Micah as she giggled. Francesca looked back to Amaris as she pointed at her brother with her thumb, Francesca only giggled. "Nope! Cannot believe the audacity of him!" she joked happily.

~~~~~~~~~~~

[ Jesica
Demonessia ]

Jesica nodded along with him, "it is the only idea that seems suitable at the moment." Jesica thought for a bit, but nodded again, "yes, I agree.. I'll send a guard to the vampires immediantly." Jesica turned to one of her guards and nodded. The said guard nodded back and walked away

(I forgot I was putting titles to the posts- My bad!)

Amaris waved her hand in a dismissing gesture. "Eh, call me whatever. Between Micah and my other sisters, I have more nicknames than I can count, and sometimes the people who work here have no idea what my real name is. I'll answer to anything, unless it's rude." Micah thought she was about to go on a rant about a visiting prince who had made fun of her name, but she moved on. "Thank you! You have a nice name too. Is it your real name or just a nickname?"

Amaris laughed along with Franny. "Ah, yes. I'm awful," Micah said, with some sarcasm. "Why don't we walk while we talk?" He pushed the cell door open wider.

"Ugh, awful! Now he's making us walk and talk at the same time." But Amaris reached and grabbed Micah's hand again anyway. She stepped out of the cell with him, while a guard placed himself next to Franny.

Echo Rigel

Don't worry about the darkness in my soul.
It ignites me like an embered coal.

Echo waited until Queen Jesica sent one of her guards away before speaking again. "Would you like me to go with them or am I to stay here?" he asked. He'd had only a few assignments in the angel kingdom, and he didn't like going there often, but he would do it if that was what his job required.

[Azura ~~]

[ Francesca
Demonessia ]

Francesca nodded, "ah alrighty then, however, I don't wanna get glared at for calling a princess, 'Angel' " She giggled softly. Francesca then fliched as the barrier around her was lifted and a guard was suddenly at her side, she stood up slowly, fixing her hair gently. She then looked to Amaris. "Nah, it's a nickname. I have a bunch as well, Siren, Demon, Princess, Fran, Franny." She listed, but eventually shook her head and put a hand on her hip. "My names Francesca, though, just call me Franny for now, Kay?" Francesca smiled softly, pulling some hair behind her ear.

Francesca giggled softly, "that you are, making us walk and talk, how uncivilized!" She crossed her arms and giggled softly, until the guard pushed her shoulder gently to walk. Francesca rubbed her shoulder gently as she rolled her eyes, she looked around as they walked outside of the cell. "Huh... The angel realm really is that different then the demon world.." Francesca said in wonder as she looked around

~~~~~~~~~~~

[ Jesica
Demonessia ]

Jesica looked to Echo for a moment before thinking, she then nodded. "Possibly, if it gets out of hand, then retreat." She said softly. Jesica put a finger to her bottom lip as she thought, if the angels really had her sister, how in the world was she supposed to gather enough soldiers..
