(Alrighty, here we go again, lol)
(And, I just realized something. Tiamat was Cassiel’s father in the original timeline, but he doesn’t exist in this timeline. Does that make Nyx her father in this timeline?)

On’nyosh breathed deeply and shook his head, utterly confused. What the fuck just happened?

First, Nyx appeared and tried to possess Cass, then an Archangel named Radiant appeared to confront him. Then Lucitius, the glorious asshole, appeared and decided, for whatever fucking reason, to merge with Radiant and turn her into a being named Lux. Then, this Lux battled Nyx before turning him into a hell dimension and freeing Cass from her contract. And finally, once Nyx was taken care of, Lux bowed at everyone before vanishing into thin air.

What in the absolute fuck just happened?

On’nyosh shook his head and looked around. Marithen and Esmeralda had hid behind their thrones, each holding onto a weapon that would’ve been utterly useless against Nyx. They were now emerging, sheathing their weapons, and looking just as confused as On’nyosh.

On’nyosh snorted at them, glancing around for his rival, the unbearably quiet Vocivus, if he was even around, before searching for Cass and Vē'Êtherñøth. He especially wanted to know if Cass was okay, considering what Nyx had tried to do.

(Ummmm… fuck, good question. Let's wait for Sam to get back before any definitive decisions are made.)

Vocivus stood in the throne room himself, stunned. He'd frozen when Lucitius had appeared, thinking when Radiant had appeared: If it's just an arcangel, I can still do something against the demon.

He unfroze when the merged entity, Lux, disappeared.

"What the fuck just happened?" he asked, quietly, very confused.

Cass watched all the shit go down, knowing it was impossible for her to do anything to Nyx. When Lux appeared from the blue dragon creature merging with the arcangel, she gasped and stumbled a bit, then quickly went over to Vocivus and On'nyosh, knowing they were definitely able to do something more than stand around.

When the Lux creature bowed and left, it confused her. Why would such a creature exist, if it was only to destroy a creature like Nyx?

Vē'Êtherñøth just sat there, content to watch all of this go on, until, of course, Radiant and Lucitius showed up. The, she quickly shot up, knowing both of their reputations as demon killers.

What are they… she thought, then pausing when Nyx was turned into a dimension and Lux bowed itself out.

"What the fuck?" she asks, stunned.

On’nyosh found Cass and wrapped a comforting arm around her.

“You alright?”he asked softly.

At Vē'Êtherñøth‘s comment, he turned and snorted, then pulled out a canteen he kept stashed in his pocket. He took a swig before holding it up for the others to see.

“Well… since whatever the fuck that was just happened, anyone want a snort?”On’nyosh called.

Marithen sighed and shook his head, sitting down so he could better process all that he had witnessed. Esmeralda huffed at On’nyosh, waving dismissively at him. She then started to pace, clearly trying to figure out why everything had happened.

"No, I'm not alright On'nyosh. You do know that Nyx, that demon fuck that was just turned into a fucking new dimension is the one who carved this Infernal into my fucking skin." she snaps, then takes a deep breath.

"I'm sorry, it's not your fault. I'm just…" she sighs. "I'm just fucked in the head right now."

Vē'Êtherñøth and Cass then look at On'nyosh incredulously.

"We just fought a demon, and all you can think about is drinking?" Vē'Êtherñøth asks, a little annoyed.

On’nyosh nodded at Cassiel’s words, unfazed by her sharp tone. He then rubbed her side gently.

“No need to be sorry. I get that this whole fucking situation is a lot,”On’nyosh cooed.

He turned and snorted at Vē'Êtherñøth‘s words.

“It’s called a celebratory toast to whatever the fuck that angelic creature was. And no, drinking is not the only thing on my mind. I’m just as flustered as everyone else. Besides, this is only wine. If I wanted an actual drink, I’d grab a bottle of fucking whiskey,”On’nyosh replied.

Esmeralda huffed,”You’re still nothing more than a drunkard.”

Marithen then sighed and snapped his fingers and gestured for On’nyosh to hand him the canteen. On’nyosh tossed it over and Marithen caught it and held it up.

“To the creature called Lux,”Marithen toasted, then took a swig.

He then tossed the canteen back. On’nyosh easily caught it.

“What was that?”Esmeralda hissed.

“A toast to Lux for saving us all from being slaughtered where we stood,”Marithen replied evenly.

Esmeralda huffed.

"Fuck it, give it here." Cass says, sighing.

Vē'Êtherñøth looks at Cass and On'nyosh with an incredulous and disappointed face.

"I really expected more…" she says, then sighs and walks away.

Cass watches her, then turns back to On'nyosh, knowing exactly how Vē'Êtherñøth feels.

She then feels something stir up in the mountains, like a huge rockslide or earthquake, except it was more of a… spiritual tremor, rather than a physical one.

"Did anyone else feel that?" she asks, wondering if she was going crazy.

"Yeah… what was it?" Vē'Êtherñøth replies, confused.

"I don't know… or at least, I hope I don't…" Cass murmurs, staring off in the direction of the mountains.

Vocivus watches the monarchs, On'nyosh, Cass and Vē'Êtherñøth as they all confer with each other, and sighs, taking off his mask.

"Yes, I felt it, Cassiel." he says, not too concerned. Yet.

Sanguis opens its eyes, and feels the earths soul tremble. It chitters happily, and gets up and stretches, the porupine-like quills on its back flaring up and then settling down again, the spines on its tail clicking together and making a sound like the winter winds making barren branches click together. It feels… everything. It feels the pulse of life just below the surface of the world, the flow of blood in every creature in the realm… it feels so alive, so ready to snuff out. Its stomach growls, and, for the first time in centuries, it needs to feed. It lets out an earsplitting screech to the world, letting everyone know that its back, and the sky flares crimson, the color of fresh blood.

Vocivus waits a moment, and just when his suspicions were starting to go away, the air itself screamed. He covered his sensitive ears and waited it out, watching as the skies turned crimson. Slowly, the scream stopped echoing and the sky slowly faded back to blue.

"The Baron is Awoken." he says, then turns and strides out of the throne room, intent on researching everything possible about this creature.

On’nyosh gave Cass the canteen, raising an eyebrow at Vē'Êtherñøth. He shrugged in response. He was too confused, flustered, or whatever, to reply.

When Cass asked if anyone else had felt something, he looked at her in confusion. Felt what? He hadn’t felt a fucking thing.

He then looked at Vocivus and watched him walk away. The Baron? Why did that name seem so familiar? Hadn’t he read about this Baron creature somewhere?

When the screech happened, On’nyosh winced. He then noticed the sky and sighed.

“Can’t get a fucking break, can we? Barely two fucking minutes and already something else is trying to kill us,”he snorted sourly.

“The Baron?”Marithen asked, a worried gleam in his eyes.

Esmeralda looked at him in confusion.

Then the screech happened and they flinched a bit, looking very concerned.

“Yes, the Baron. The one creature that even the gods have trouble containing. And now he’s awake,”Marithen said, grimacing.

Cass and Vē'Êtherñøth look up at everyone's words, then drop like stones at the screech and cover their ears.

When the screech ends, Cass gets up.

"Wh-what in the actual fuck?" she asks, helping Vē'Êtherñøth up.

"I really don't want to know…" Vē'Êtherñøth murmurs, but she already does know. Sanguis. The Blood Baron.

Tina wakes at the screech, immediately shifting to her demonoid form, laughing.

"Well, that couldn't have been better timing, master!" she says, warping to Sanguis's cave and standing a good distance away.

"I was starting to wonder when you'd Awake. If you ever would." she adds, smirking.

Sanguis chitters at Tina, somehow happy that she came back. It doesn't view her as a potential meal, but as a sort of… means for more food. It knows that killing her would hurt it. It then proceeds to unfurl its three long tongues and "walk" its way over to her, using one to gently place her much smaller form on its back and keep her secure, while the other two worked as legs for it. It quickly went down the mountain, and, in search of a source of food, it went to the kingdom of Ethrin.

Vocivus creates a specter of himself, an exact copy, so that it could go and inform the monarchs that Sanguis was returning to Ethrin.

"My king and queen, the Baron is returning to Ethrin in search of food. Prepare yourselves." the specter says, and then it fades.
