Aki stared at the map and clung to her necklace. Her eyes turned to the skies in mocking manner.

"You fucking gods know nothing but to take away. First was my mother, next was my sisters, and lastly was those villagers you asked the angels to raze the village." (Aki)

(Raze: to destroy)

She threw her sword at the sky as she screamed out her heart. But quickly calmed down since she knew the place she was in wasn't safe. Her eyes went to the glove on her left hand as she remembered the history from the memory fragment when she touched the glove. It's previous owner was Ember Stella Tramis. A devil who controlled half of the southern continent. Yet on her death it was said she vanished from this world. But the gloves told her another story, its owner was betrayed by a servant that she picked up on her journey across the worlds.

"These gods are nothing more than a damnation aren't they Aki." (Leo)

"Oh shut the fuck up Leo. I know your looking for Aquarius but using me as a medium because your sister's been pissed at you doesn't make it any less easy." (Aki)

"Yet here we are centuries after her anger. Oh by the way you see that river in front of you. It's the river of lost souls. It usually eats up and misguides the living to be eaten by the river. So don't pay attention to anything you see or hear when crossing." (Leo)

Aki rolled her eyes at Leo the lion spirit as he pointed to the river. She heard many stories of this river. And none of the stories were good. It was enticing to those who lost their loved ones here. But to her it was more of a annoyance she had to cross.

"By the way I've been curious since day one when we met after I turned 15. Though my sister is only 6 or 5 years older. I lost track of the count." (Aki)

"You're a almost a thousand years old. Aren't you glad to be alive and well for a ice demoness." (Leo the lion)

"Oh shut it. Your as fucking annoying as those stupid beasts of gods." (Aki)

"Are you sure we're going in the correct direction." (Leo the lion)

"Of course, I'm right. I saw signs of a plague, disaster and famine in this direction. If we play this right the destroyer can end up killing the gods for us." (Aki)

"Don't you think it's dangerous for us. I mean they bring disaster and death to those around." (Leo the lion)

"What's wrong with you, it's borrowing others. Plus there's nothing to lose since I already lost what I cared to no thanks to those fucking gods. They have no love for the people." (Aki)

"This is risky, even for you. Staying too long with one can kill you in more ways than one." (Leo the lion)

"Do me a favor and shut up about my choices for once." (Aki)

"You can end up in a blizzard storm, with a plague, or worst you won't know how or what killed you." (Leo the lion)

Aki rolled her eyes as she went to the murky grayish purple river. Her ears rang as she heard souls screaming at her. She blinked when she knew why she should ignore the very river itself or the lost souls might drag her to be a new resident. Hallucinations from those lost souls. Her eyes narrowed when they showed her own mother who she never got to know.

"Sorry I never met my mother. This can't entice me plus if you try my older sister's appearance which I have never even seen it'd be a dead give away." (Aki)

"I never got to ask but why he heck do you hate gods so much." (Leo the lion)

"They took away the only person I cared for that would protect me. My other sister, it was also her that helped raise me after my mother's death. Our clan was out to rid themselves of me. My sister taught me how to survive and how to use all sorts of weapons, from swords to sabers, spears, halberd, bows and arrows, axes, maces, clawed gloves, fists, and daggers." (Aki)

"So any known weapon to medieval era." (Leo the lion)

"Be quiet you stupid lion. That's why your sister ran away too wasn't it. By the way you've always avoided,y question on why did you two fight." (Aki)

"It was stupid and I don't even remember the reason, it's been centuries." (Leo the lion)

"I'll make those stupid gods pay for taking away from me and those countless innocent lives." (Aki)

"You sound so....I....don't know revenge crazed." (Leo the lion)

"No I'm very much sane, just disgusted by what I've seen over the past few hundreds of years of traveling through words and seeing the gods' influence. Their faith just makes me feel like puking. One demonic thing after another is what I can say they make a devil's eating habit of slaughter look humane." (Aki)

"Yikes, I'm not always out so I have no clue." (Leo the lion)

"Says the coward spirit created by human faith yet hides at the face of danger." (Aki)

He groans as his eyes went to Aki guiltily.

"That's cause my twin sister Aquarius is brave and the brains of us two twins." (Leo the lion)

"Yet you still managed to anger her for I don't know how many centuries now. Any news of her yet." (Aki)

"If I did I wouldn't be asking you for him." (Leo the lion)

"Yea and you'd cower at the slightest danger. Well aside from this River of Lost Souls." (Aki)

"Sure it's enticing but I have no dead relatives. Nor are we injured or depressed." (Leo the lion)

"Point taken." (Aki)
