Monarch of Darkness, Arsene

"So it has been decided? We leave Arsene on a tight leash." Aeron solemnly urged, "We cannot afford to be his enemy. At least not yet. His talents, as you all have already seen, are instrumental."

"My concerns have never been about who rules." Talos, that damn mastermind, coldly uttered, "I care not who rules over the Bed of Chaos. I know what type of person this Arsene is, and I will say this now. Aiza, should you make Arsene your enemy, I will not intervene."

"You would brand yourself to be a coward?" I jeered, narrowing my eyes to play on the ego a normal man would have.

Talos, out of all these people, was one never to follow the rules. He did whatever he felt and damn the consequence. Even now, I hate being around this pathetic bastard who seems to see everything but never engages.

"I stand by what I said. You have already made us be his enemy. That little demon is quite perceptive, and we know nothing of his intentions towards us. Aside from what you have told us. Killing Arsene Snow is a foolish idea. Look at who is around him, who he seemed to be—a damn Monarch in the making. We are out of our league.

"How typical, and I suppose you would bend over backward for this boy, who is not even a god yet?"

"Boy?" Selna, that cow, darkly accused, "Aiza, we both know what it means to be Monarch of an element, and Darkness is one of the strongest. They hold authority. A single word and he could potentially kill a god. Once he figures out his rights as a Monarch, many of our people will be at his mercy."

"On this, I agree with Aiza." Vulron seeing the light thundered out, "Arsene needs to be contained, but! We need to do it without making him an enemy."

"Zelos?" Aeron suddenly voiced, hushing the voices of us all, "What are your thoughts? You seemed to be the most silent one."

"Does it even matter? Aiza will simply do as she pleases. It will simply come down to whether we flee, side with Arsene, or with Aiza. In the end, I have no opinion because I only care about defending the Bed of Chaos."

Arching my lips, I giggled. "Zelos, you seem to know me soo---"

Hearing my phone ring, I frowned, summing it from my ring. Seeing Yu Jing's number, my lips stretched even lower. I hung up. However, Talos, Vulrons, and Selna's phone rang just as I hung up, interrupting our meeting.

"Yo! This is Cleo's phone, right? You must be Talos! I hear you are kind of a dick!" The vibrant voice of Arsene suddenly rang from in front of some booming music. Wherever they were, they were partying.

Staring at the screen of him standing still while everyone around him was dancing, kissing, and everything else, everyone at the table's expressions grew dark. Why would Cleo give him her phone?

"Arsene," Talos uttered patiently, placing his hands behind his back.

"Indeed. It's a Pleasure. I feel like I know everyone here simply by your disciple's stories. Did you really not speak to Cleo for seven years? Even I think that's a little much."

"I did." Said Talos, sharply scanning his eyes over the few dozen people behind Arsene. He was looking for his disciple.

"Get to the point Arsene, why are you calling us?" Aeron uttered darkly.

"BROOOOO!!!! I love you!!!" Bellowed the voice of both Kurt and Siegfried.

Widening my eyes, they suddenly, with murky expression, appeared by Arsene's side, placing their arms around him as though they were family or friends.

"Ah, that's so nice. Thanks, bro." Arsene exclaimed, arching a glass of wine, "TO VULRON!!!!"

"TO VULRON!!!!" Many cheered in a booming voice.

"What the hell is going on," The Master of War voiced with a tight jaw.

"Master? FUCK YOU!!!!!" Siegfried roared as Kurt suddenly pushed him over the balcony.

"BROO!!!" He roared in a dramatic way, following behind him, 'I'll save you!!!"

Laughing at the drama, Arsene shook his head, "I drugged everyone at the party, and they need you all. Shit has gotten out of hand."

"What of Yu Jing?" I hastily shouted, feeling a chill down my spine. She needed to be okay. I can't afford to change, not when she still needed to taint Arsene.

Tilting the camera, he turned as I saw over five guys grinding upon my disciple, who had a smile upon her face. By her side, I could see Cleo, covered in sweat, dancing alongside her.

"You're a fucking bastard, Snow." I viciously spat.

"Why call us? they seem fine to me?" Talos suddenly voiced without a hint of concern, "My disciple is old enough to have sex if she so pleases. I care not, as long as it doesn't intervene in her studies."

"OMG, You're so cold! But I definitely think this will do some damage. You see, my dear Master of Death, I just so happen to be a master in the Art of Devil Hearts. All this drama will definitely do some damage. Same with you, Aiza. All the shit you put your disciple through, I wouldn't be surprised if she wakes up with over a hundred guys running a train on her. Bitch's be wild out here."

"BOy, your going way too far!" Volrun fired off, rising from his throne.

"Not really; it's not like your disciples will not be in the mix. Although I think his heart is a little too pure to handle the aftermath."

"Hmmm, you want something." Selna suddenly uttered with a flushed expression, "What is it?"

"Well, we are kind of in a grave situation. Excluding me drugging everyone. It's kind of fucked up, but I need your full cooperation. And I knew with Aiza there, there could be back and forth, so blackmail was my go-to method."

"Yeah! Get off of her!" Yura's voice suddenly echoed out as we saw the young redhead, pushed some guys off Cleo, "Go after the other one. She needs a good a dicking!"

"BITCH!!!"

"Yeah... So Yura doesn't particularly like Yu Jing. We are hoping this will relax your disciple. She seems so stuck up. But don't worry, nothing bad will happen. I promise on my honor!" Arsene shamelessly uttered, turning the camera back to him.

"Sigfried order a few dozen starships. Contact Tang Feng and tell him that I gave the order. As King of the Celestial Palace, he should listen and allow the ships to attack if needed. What I want you all to do is rain death alongside these ships when I give the order."

"What the hell is going on?" Talos inquired, glancing up at Aeron, who nodded in confirmation.

"I need to kill Yael for a few devils, and it will seem we stepped into a city under someone from the Etherial Planes thrall. Death is around the corner for everyone, and we need your help. Oh, before I forget, Vulron, check your bank account. Sieg left you a surprise." He said, severing the connection leaving all of us wide eyes.

"Kill Yael?' I uttered with a dark expression, "this is bad, really bad! We need to stop him."

"WE need to get our disciples!" Selna shouted, rising from her throne with a crimson glint that had the hairs on everyone on end.

"no no no no no non on !!!! FUUCcKK!!!!! SIEGFRIED !!!!!!!!" Vulron bellowed, turning the entire room to ash as a horrendous power showered the galaxy with death.
