WORDS. “Freezer Burn All” LYRICS. “Do the impossible, see the invisible.” NOTES. | "If you have time to think of a beautiful end, then live beautifully until the end." - Reiki Reiki walked down the residential halls of Eclipse Soul, a medium sized box in his arms. Today was certainly turning out to be a rather interesting day. A few hours earlier, Reiki had officially become a father and now he was about to test his new daughter to see if she was worthy of being considered a B rank mage. While most examinations involved simply a combat test, this was going to be much different. With the aid of the contents within the box, Reiki was going to test Sephiria mentally. From the recent events, he could tell that something was deeply troubling her mentally. While this wasn’t necessarily going to permanently fix whatever problem she was going through, Reiki knew it would help. A mage needs to not only be strong magically, but have the mental power to effectively use that magical power. As he neared Sephiria’s bedroom, he stopped briefly to open the box; removing a piece of paper with instructions on it for the device within. Vik, this thing looks easier to operate than I thought. Why can’t all magitech be this easy? he chuckled to himself after glazing over the instructions, shoving the paper back in the box and walking up to Sephiria’s door. Three swift knocks proceeded the young slayers voice. Oi, Sephi. I got what I need for your exam today. You almost ready? |

I wonder what it will be this time?” his new daughter said, bearing something he had not seen in a while from her; a genuine smile. Faasni, fear not, it’s not gonna end up like it did last time. C’mon, we’re gonna do this back in the training area. he said, motioning with his head for Sephiria to follow him. Once the two had made their way to the training room, Reiki set the box upon a nearby table and began to extract its contents. He pulled out a sky blue disk shaped lacrima along with a stand and began to set it up in the middle of the room. The plan is slightly different than last time. he explained, placing the lacrima in the middle of its rather elaborate stand. This right here is some kind of mental projection lacrima. Its generally used by scientists and the Rune Knights to study the minds of criminals for their gaanse issues, so I have no idea why Master Zeno had one lying around. I don’t generally tend to ask questions when it comes to him. Anyway, we’re going to be doing something a bit more interesting with this. I’m sure you know this, but a mage needs both a strong lahaal and gaanse power…. Er, a strong magical and mental power. What I’m gonna be testing you on is your gaanse capabilities today. Reiki paused for a brief moment, turning to stare Sephiria in the eyes. Sephi, what you’re gonna be facing is a faas of yours. What fear that is, I haven’t a clue. You just need to be aware that this is going to feel incredibly real. You’re going to be feeling pain from this if you get hit. The goal is simply to test how you do in combat against something that is basically assaulting your mind. I’m not asking you to completely kron, er, conquer whatever fear this brings up. If things get too bad, I’ll be right inside this thing with you to help. Reiki explained, making his way back to the box and pulling out a small detachable control panel. Grabbing the instructions again, he walked back to the lacrima and set the control panel up on the stand. Alright… I think that should do it. When you’re ready, just place your hand on the lacrima, transfer some of your luh, your magic, into it and then push the button in the center of the control panel here. With that it should basically project us into your mind. I hope…pretty sure I set it up right. he said, placing his hand upon the lacrima and awaiting Sephiria’s actions. |

This certainly wasn’t what Reiki was expecting. Eh.. Did I set this thing up wrong or.. he began, only to be interrupted by two other females behind him, one calling him handsome and winking at him rather oddly. This was met with a simple blank and confused stare by Reiki, who slowly turned to Sephiria. These two cannot possibly be what we're here to deal with… right? he asked. As he did so, Reiki began looking out around their current surroundings. There wasn’t another soul for miles; the only other sound being a gentle breeze. Reiki was extremely confused. Either this was somehow connected to Sephiria’s fears, which didn’t seem to be the logical explanation, or Reiki had simply set things up wrong. He never was good with magitech. Well… I really screwed this one up I guess? Krosis, I don’t really know what to make of this situation. I mean it clearly worked, we’re not in the training room anymore. This just… isn’t quite what I was expecting. Though, it is easing to know your mind is at drem. he commented, taking a whiff of the fresh air surrounding them. Zeno sure wasn’t kidding when he said this would feel real. Since we’re in your mind, I guess you’re essentially our tour guide Sephi. Along with… whoever the hell these people are… Gisen and Charles, right? Thought Charles was a dudes name…Anyway, you got any ideas of where we’re supposed to go? |

While the one named Charles at least had some form of manners, the one named Gisen would not stop winking at Reiki. The way she licked her lips at him was rather disturbing, but Reiki had no time to really complain. Sephiria was leading the way into the forested area, with Gisen and Charles not far behind. Reiki set off with them, perking his ears just slightly as he heard a rather strange noise. He simply shrugged it off and followed the trio into the forest. The forest was just as peaceful as the meadow had been. Birds were happily singing as they glided through the sea of trees. There appeared to be no other forms of wildlife in the area. This whole experience got Reiki to wondering what exactly the inside of his own mind looked like. It was something he’d certainly have to try at least once when Sephiria’s exam was over. However, he needed to keep his mind focused on the task at hand. After quite a bit of walking, the forest was slowly coming to resemble a more winter like feel. As the group progressed, the trees leaves began to change color; slowly but surely becoming more and more dead the further they went. To Reiki, this was a sign they were likely headed in the right direction. He wondered what exactly the fear that Sephi would be facing was. Whatever it was, he was confident in her abilities to handle it. Since he started training her, she had grown significantly in terms of her magic power. Now, it was simply a matter of how she would handle fearful situations with her power. |

It was a rather hellish landscape to say the least. There was lava flowing like rivers, skulls made out of what appeared to be bedrock, and screams of pain and torment coming from nearly every direction. The landscape was the complete opposite of where they were just moments before; it was the darker side of Sephiria’s mind. While he was irritated by the heat, Reiki knew this was more of what he was expecting they would wind up in the first place. Oddly enough, there was a voice that called Sephiria by her true name in this nightmarish place. The voice belonged to a brown haired girl who apparently was known as Rose. During his introduction, she shot Reiki a strangely hateful look, which was simply met with a confused look from the Ice Dragon Slayer. The hell’s your problem? he thought, as Rose introduced herself to be Sephiria’s sister. Reiki easily assumed this wasn’t the fear that Sephiria would face, considering how friendly the two were with each other. It was interesting to see Sephiria’s sister either way. Considering they were in her mind, Reiki had no idea whether or not this was simply an imagination of her dead sister or whether Rose was actually still alive. However, that was a question for another time. Well, I guess that’s just another member to the party… At least we’re in the right place for what we came here to do. I’m assuming, anyway, considering all the damn goraag everywhere…. |

WORDS. “Freezer Burn All” LYRICS. “Do the impossible, see the invisible.” NOTES. | "If you have time to think of a beautiful end, then live beautifully until the end." - Reiki Reiki honestly wasn’t the least bit surprised that Sophie, also known to him as the real Sephiria, would show up on this journey. From everything he had learned hours before, he knew that Sephiria was quite attached to this person. Its honestly more of a business trip than a visit.. the white haired Slayer responded, as Sophie snapped her fingers and caused Gisen and Charles to vanish completely. While he still had no clue as to who they were, he understood Sophie’s reason for dispersing them. With the amount of pressure her mind was about to undergo in facing one of her fears; the less people putting strain on it, the better. Sephiria sighed, leading the group further into the hellish domain. Their journey was silent, apart from the constant screaming everywhere and the humming from Sophie. Reiki looked over towards Sephiria who on the outside was smiling. However, he knew she had to be somewhat worried on the inside; if not completely freaking out. He still had no idea what they would be facing, but he would soon find out. Bones immediately sprung up and formed a cage behind Reiki and Sephiria, imprisoning Sophie and Rose within. Before Reiki could even turn around, he heard vile cackle ring through the surrounding area, originating not too far from the two. Hardly even fifteen feet in front of them was a rather disturbing sight to say the least. The figure was a nearly identical replica of Sephiria with a few differences. Her skin was paler than snow and she had eyes blacker than a cloudy evening. The skin of this monstrous looking being appeared to be rotting away in several places, while the clothing was torn in some rather… strange places. ”You…” Sephiria gulped, as the sickening looking clone of her approached the group. This clone stopped roughly six feet in front of them, a twisted smile plastered upon her rotting face. Yes, it’s me, your absolute favorite resident, Twisty!!! How nice of my landlord to come bearing gifts to my new home! the form laughed in a sickening version of Sephiria’s own voice. Oh, but you see, I’m afraid I don’t like some of them… she pouted, first pointing to Rose trapped in the cage behind Sephiria and Reiki. While I’m absolutely touched that you’d bring my dearest “sister” to me, I’m afraid even black roses just don’t go with the homes decor. I do hope you kept the receipt… Twisty paused, motioning her hand in a wiping fashion. In that instant, Rose faded away, similar to how Gisen and Charles did earlier. otherwise you won’t get the full refund! Twisty then pointed at Sophie with a sickening smile. As for her, you sure do know my tastes! It’s almost like we’re kind of the same person! How weird is that?! she laughed, licking her lips before finally pointing to Reiki. And last but not least, dear old pops! Glad you came to the reunion, daddy! Though, there’s something missing, isn’t there? the being asked, curiously tilting her head and tapping her chin in thought. Oh, of course! You forgot to bring mommy dearest with you! Ohhhhhh but wait, she’s all alone sick at home. Shame on you, daddy! You should be there taking care of her! the being scolded Reiki, wiping her hand in front of her as she did with Rose. However, a look of shock came over her face as Reiki still remained present, with a rather pissed off look on his face. Krosis, but your information is a little off. There’s nothing wrong with Sephiria’s mother, so I think I’ll be sticking around. he retorted, cracking his neck. He refused to call this disturbing replica of Sephiria any part of his family. Twisty simply pouted, pointing at Sephiria. That’s cheating! You didn’t tell me daddy couldn’t be erased! she scolded, punching her fist into her palm. Oh well, you’ll just have to be punished for cheating! Though, I’m actually surprised, you came earlier than I was expecting you would. I mean, I just got this absolutely wonderful new home! Though, I suppose with the current real estate market… she paused, opening her maw to reveal her snake like tongue. Upgrading to all of your property now wouldn’t be such a terrible idea. |

Sephiria muttered, which was simply met with another ear wrenching cackle from her twisted clone as the surrounding area shifted to a more arena esque local. So glad that you agree with my spontaneous redecoration! she exclaimed whilst Reiki simply looked around at their newfound surroundings yet again. This “Twisty”,as she called herself, sure had some peculiar tastes in just about everything. Reiki could easily see just why Sephiria feared this monstrosity. The being seemed similar in nature to Kamuy, Aian’s alter ego. This got Reiki to thinking, just how did these beings come into existence within these two? Was it possible that the two were somehow connected? There were so many questions Reiki wanted to ask, but he knew it wasn’t the time. "Alright you disgusting monster. What do you have planned now? Whatever it is, it won't be enough to stop me from getting my mind back!" Sephiria shouted with venom in her words. Reiki could easily see she was showing confidence, but was the story the same on the inside? As he glanced back over at Twisty, he noticed an incredibly appalled look was on her face. D-disgusting!? M-onster?! I’m just as beautiful as you are, right daddy!? I mean, I know I don’t have the great gazongas or the tantalizing tail that mommy does, but come on, I’m beautiful, aren’t I!?! Twisty moaned, giving Reiki an even more irritated look on his face. Sephi… kick this things ass back to the hell hole it crawled out of. he said, keeping his anger held well within. This response of Reiki drew a sinister grin on Twisty’s face. As you wish, daddy!!! she responded, as poison began to drip from the beings fingers. In between each of her fingers formed a senbon, totalling 8 in all. The first move belonged to Twisty, as she lunged forward and began furiously swiping at Sephiria; using the senbon as if they were poisonous claws. All Reiki would do now is sit back and watch, prepared to interfere if this, thing, proved too much for his daughter at the present time. |

NOTES ! TAGS. WORDS. “Freezer Burn All” LYRICS. “Do the impossible, see the invisible.” NOTES. | "If you have time to think of a beautiful end, then live beautifully until the end." - Reiki Twisty was swiftly kicked away during her assault, which surprised her. Sephiria fighting back was something completely new to her. Every other time the two had an encounter, Sephiria was usually cowering like a little girl at the mere sight of Twisty. Here she was now, actually fighting back, leaving the twisted being confused as to whether she enjoyed this more or not. Well now, I see someone has her big girl panties on. Twisty mocked, receiving a one fingered salute from her normal counterpart. Though, it seems you sure do have some self esteem issues. You just keep calling yourself disgusting in some way! Its honestly making me wanna cry. However, I have a solution! Once I take over your mind, I’ll wipe away those nasty self esteem problems! she exclaimed with a snap of her rotting fingers. Nothing happened immediately, but Twisty knew well that Sephiria would soon begin feeling the effects. With a wicked smile, Twisty quickly threw up her hands and released the senbon flying towards Sephiria, aiming to strike at her ankles and wrists. She would then immediately rush Sephiria down, aiming to deliver a swift punch directly into the young Slayer’s face. Regardless of whether or not the punch connected, Twisty quickly jumped high into the air, almost seeming to float her way through the air space of the hellish landscape around them. She turned to Sephiria in mid air, licking her lips at the Slayer as Gisen often did. The being wanted nothing more than the complete and utter dominance over Sephiria’s mind and thats what she intended to get from this fight. |

NOTES ! TAGS. WORDS. “Freezer Burn All” LYRICS. “Do the impossible, see the invisible.” NOTES. | "If you have time to think of a beautiful end, then live beautifully until the end." - Reiki Twisty smiled as she landed, watching as Sephiria coughed up blood while spouting more confidence. The psychotic incarnation of Sephiria knew this was an obvious trap, but she could care less. Twisty knew Sephiria better than anyone else could. Her code of “honor” kept her from shutting down Twisty’s immunity as she had just done to Sephiria. It was this foolishness that Twisty sought to exploit. She would just have to show Sephiria that her mind wasn’t her own domain; it was Twisty’s. Well, if you reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally want me to be that close to you…. she said, coating her right hand in poison. In the blink of an eye, she was immediately in front of Sephiria, her arm cocked back and ready to strike. She threw the fist as hard as she could directly into Sephiria’s face, running with the punch to bring her crashing into one of the nearby stalagmites. Twisty left her fist directly in the center of Sephiria’s forehead, bringing her foot to crash into Sephiria’s stomach in order to keep her from moving. Well, here I am, doing it again! Are you surprised our Toxic Fist isn’t melting away your skull right now? The acidic poison is just sooooooooo boriiiiiiiiiiiiiiing, so I changed it up! You know just how much I love messing with peoples minds, don’t you? she cackled as the poison from her fist dripped down into Sephiria’s eye sockets, nostrils, and mouth. What was to follow was a hellish hallucinogenic poison that was to completely screw with Sephiria’s mind; causing hallucinations to simply spawn in the air around them. Melting, rotting bodies of her loved ones, a soul less image of her foster dragon baring its fangs trying to eat her, all this and more formed directly behind Twisty as the poison essentially made things a reality here in her mind. Reiki’s fist clenched tightly as he watched all this unfold. He wanted to interfere desperately, but he knew he had to give Sephiria a chance to fight back. This was her mind, she was the one in control, not Twisty. It was only a matter of her willpower being capable of pushing back this fear. Speaking of minds, Reiki noticed it was eerily quiet within his own. Usually, Azrael was either snoring loudly or rambling on about things that half the time didn’t even relate to Reiki’s current situation. However, his mind was rather empty, much like it had been before he encountered Azrael in those ruins long ago. Oi, Azrael, ya still there? You’re being way too quiet… Reiki called out for his uncle in his mind. His face suddenly changed from excited to a brief look of shock before changing to a confident smirk. Kusahra…. No, that’s fine. You just keep doing what you’re doing for now. he thought with confidence, anxiously awaiting Sephiria’s next move. |

NOTES ! TAGS. WORDS. “Freezer Burn All” LYRICS. “Do the impossible, see the invisible.” NOTES. | "If you have time to think of a beautiful end, then live beautifully until the end." - Reiki Twisty’s face was painted with shock as she was sent flying backwards by a single punch. Sephiria’s eyes had changed completely and that punch was a lot stronger than it should have been. What in the world was with this drastic jump in power? Before she could even question the matter further, she was met by Sephiria being right next to her in the air, delivering a solid punch to Twisty’s gut before driving her head into the ground with an axe kick. Sephiria jumped back panting but confident with a smile upon her face despite the blood running down her face. “I hope you like revenge. Cause I deactivated your poison resistance. Not so fun on the receiving side is……...it?” Sephiria stated before dropping to her knees. Twisty sat up, clutching her head in pain as she looked on to the now helpless looking Sephiria. Reiki looked on curiously as Twisty began to rise to her feet, trying to recuperate from that sudden assault. That sudden burst of vicious power was something he recognized all too well; Dragon Force. At least, it was Dragon Force to some degree. What had happened was more like an attempt to activate Dragon Force that didn’t exactly follow through. This struck Reiki as rather odd. Even though they were in her mind, Sephiria shouldn’t be able to even come that close to activating Dragon Force at will. There was only one logical explanation; she had to have consumed a Poison Dragon Lacrima. Well, you’re just full of surprises, aren’t you? Seems to me like that last one was short lived. Oh well, sucks for you! Now, where did I leave off…? Twisty questioned, stretching forth both her arms in front of her. Materializing out of thin air were two blades that Sephiria knew well, no doubt causing worry for Sophie. Twisty took hold of the blades as screams of agonizing torment rang out from then. She turned to Sophie with a sickening look on her face as she wrapped her snake like tongue around the blades. Did you HONESTLY believe that you could get rid of MY playthings in MY playground? You’re dumber than you look, Sephiria! she cackled, making her way over to Sinon with the blades crying out in protest. As for you, my dear landlord. I hope you don’t mind, but I wrote myself into your will! As she brought the two blades overhead, she heard a loud crackling sound like an uncontrolled spark. Before she knew it, she was met with a fist being planted firmly into her cheek, sending her flying through a stalagmite and soaring off the platform from the sheer force. Standing proud before Sinon with lightning lightly sparking around his form was her adopted father. It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to do that… Vik, does it feel good. he laughed, turning and kneeling down to place a hand upon his daughters shoulder. He smiled, gently whisking his hand over her open wounds to chill them so that they would clot much easier. You’re right, Sephi, it is your mind. You’re facing this fear of yours outstandingly well. You have the edged to defeat it now, but you don’t know it. However, you did get a brief taste of it… he said, pausing as his ears perked up. We don’t have much time before that… thing, recovers from my punch and flies back here. I’ll have to explain this aas. I don’t know when, but at some point you consumed a Poison Dragon Lacrima. I don’t know why, but it remained dormant inside of you unlike when I consumed my bormah’s lacrima. What you just experienced was you trying to activate our most powerful weapon; Dragon Force. Its new to you, but you’re going to have to force it out for now. It will probably send you into an uncontrollable rage, but I’ll be here to stop it. What you need to do is use all those images she’s been trying to haunt you with, take all those thoughts of losing what you care for most and what will happen if you fail; take those and focus on nothing but them. Take your tiiraazom and faas, your sadness and fear from those thoughts, and channel them into anger. Take that anger and control it, channeling it into yourself so that your magic explodes. You probably won’t have much control over it right now, but don’t worry about that. I’ve spent the past year working on the ability to do this myself and I’ll help you work on controlling it after. Right now, just worry about using the power even it doesn't know you have to kick that monstrosities sorry ass. The moment he finished explaining, Twisty flew back up above the platform, floating in midair with her head knocked 180 degrees from Reiki’s sudden punch. She tossed the two blades into the air and grabbed her head, snapping it around back to its normal position. WHAT THE HELL IS WITH YOU PEOPLE AND CHEATING!?! she shouted angrily, grabbing the blades out of midair and rushing towards the two of them. |

WORDS. “Freezer Burn All” LYRICS. “Do the impossible, see the invisible.” NOTES. | "If you have time to think of a beautiful end, then live beautifully until the end." - Reiki Reiki watched Twisty’s face as Sephiria activated her Dragon Force and absolutely wrecked her demonic incarnation. The look that was upon it told Reiki his hunch was right; Twisty had no clue about the lacrima either. The amount of power it provided Sephiria was enough to completely overwhelm Twisty; for the time being at the very least. However, something was concerning Reiki a bit. As Twisty was thrown clean over the edge of the area, Reiki noticed just how drastic of a change Sephiria had undergone. He knew everyone's Dragon Force was different, but his was nothing near this close to being so much like a humanoid dragon. Was this the true form of her Dragon Force, or simply happening because it was her first time activating it? Whatever the case, this was the least of Reiki’s current worries. Upon tossing Twisty over the edge, the two blades she was using crashed to the ground as Sephiria made her way towards Sophie; still trapped in the bone cage. In a flash, Reiki was standing before the young Dragon Slayer with the blades gripped firmly in his hands. He tossed the blades behind him through the cage bars; bringing his fist forward to punch Sephiria down into the ground. He quickly waved his hand over her body, encasing her in solid ice all except for her head. Reiki knew she had quite a significant boost in power during Dragon Force, but she still wouldn’t be strong enough to break free from this ice. However, as long as they remained in her mind, Sephiria could do whatever she wants. Sorry, kiddo, but can’t risk you running around the guild like this. Dragon Force is an incredibly powerful tool that we possess; so easy to lose your mind to. Its as if your mind becomes completely drunk with power… I guess thats why it never really bothered me so much. I was so used to being teivo by the time I first experienced it that it really wasn’t that taxing on my mind and I could control it easily. I expected as much would happen with her, granted with how much stress her mind has been under lately. the young lad said, turning around and smashing Sophies bone cage to pieces. He looked at the astral red head with a confident smile. This’ll where off eventually, but see if you three can’t talk some sense into her brain and end it early. With those words, the surrounding area began to become freezing. The landscape began to go from hellish to a frozen wasteland as Reiki poured his mental energy to overpower Sephiria’s. It was only for a brief moment, but they were in Reiki’s mind now. A dragons roar ripped throughout their surroundings as Reiki waved goodbye to Sophie for the time being. He closed his eyes and focused, managing to shut the lacrima down and return the two to Eclipse Soul’s training room. There Sephiria lay, still in Dragon Force with her two blades placed atop her frozen encasement. Now, we just wait for her to regain her senses… Reiki sighed, taking a seat on the ground nearby as a familiar voice rang in his head. Dammit, Reiki!! You couldn’t have at least waited in your mind!? I was having the time of my life! Azrael shouted, Reiki letting out a small laugh in return. Krisiiv, Azrael. I promise you’ll be able to do that again soon enough. |
