Laura eyed Lidia. Was the term ‘girls’ really that bad? Must of been a preference thing, pretty extreme, but whatever, they looked pissed now and that was more fun. Laura grinned. “Ya feelin’ like givin’ ‘im that black eye yurself now?” Asking as she cracked her knuckles.

Shit! He’d messed up bad, it only took a second for Egyn to see his mistake, to see just where he’d messed up this time. As his face continued to pale, continued to grow afraid of what was to come, the water demon swallowed shakily as words next to inaudible slipped from trembling lips. 

Lidia immediately moved to bend the king’s left arm behind him and whispered into his ear in that haunting, melodic voice that gave away their siren abilities. 

‘Hush, don’t speak. When you spit your venom keep it shut. I hate it when you hiss and preach.’ Lidia glanced over at Laura as they held the demon king tight.

Staring at the two as they conversed with each other, the demon could feel a bead of sweat run down his back, as a trace of worry began to take rest within his mind. It was never good when two aggressive creatures conversed…Well never good for the pray. So with a hint of dread laced deep in his soft voice, the King asked as cyan eyes lost their previous shine, having grown aware of the danger. 

“…Umm…I…I s-see…No n-need for v-violence g-girls…” 

Send 💭 for one thought my muse has had about yours.~~~

“…I f-find her to…be r-rather cruel…however, she…She is m-much kinder than one p-person I have met…”

“I…I think that both Laura a-and this other person…a-are both v-very cruel yet…yet beautiful…” ~~~

“Sign me the fuck up.” They said in no uncertain terms. The teen stood up and drapped an arm around the demon king. “Call me Hanatamago-Sensei from now on, buddy.”

“W-what? T-that was mean…”

“…W-why…Why w-would you say that…?”

“… Anyways.” Lidia is not very nice. Also doesn’t think they are pretty. More like awful.

“…You are…Y-you are beautiful…” The small bluenette ready did mean what he said, yes he is a demon and a liar but that didn’t mean he wasn’t going to speak the truth about someone’s beauty 

“…L-Lidia…You are pretty…”

“Boi.” Was all they said as they allowed a moment of silence to pass the two.

“Call yourself ‘boring’ or anything else similar to that again around me and we are going to have problems.” They wat they emphasized problems made the room go cold for a few seconds.

"Join the club buddy. My childhood was a mess too." They took a sip from their drink and stared into the glass. Their expression darkened as they thought back to that cold cell; phantom pains rising back into their throat. They touched the noticable lightly.

They put the phone away and looked at Egyn. Boredom is never easy to alleviate so they guessed that having the demon king was a good way to not be bored.

“Give him a few minutes?” They asked and the waitress nodded, turning to place Lidia’s order on the counter into the kitchen and taking the orders of other patrons.

They put the phone away and looked at Egyn. Boredom is never easy to alleviate so they guessed that having the demon king was a good way to not be bored.

She hastily put flags around the spot, giving it as wide an area as possible. She frowned as his last statement but felt that she couldn’t judge him for his feelings. Great king Satan was a firm ruler and many of his achievements were exaggerated in the worst light usually. Living amongst humans, even by the queen’s side, has obviously warped his views of his father. Which was sad. He didn’t even know of Winter’ Gift.

“I’m sorry you feel that way. It’s too bad you might not see Gehenna soon. It’s beautiful this time of year in my home town there.” She mused listlessly as she roughly shoved a stick into the dirt.

“This should do. Thank you for the help.” She nodded to him as they finished up.

Meizhang looked at the seemingly normal spot they just encircled with tiny flags with calculating and analyzing eyes.

“I’m sorry I feel that way, too.” His voice was soft, but wavered the tiniest bit as he stood up. There was nothing he wanted more than to go back to the blind admiration for his father he’d had as a child, but what he knew now made that impossible. His father saw him only as an experiment. A potential vessel. Staying out of Gehenna was simply self-preservation.

"I lived in a small town under Egyn's territory. The area is similar to that of north eastern Asia here; I even grew up in the Gehennan equivalent of China. My town was near the sea, a fishing community of water and ice demons living quietly. My grandmother is a shop owner there. She makes the best jewelry. My friends and I would always play by the beach and convincing passing groups of kraken to juggle us. Heh, just like the ones at the fair each year in the capital! The waters are this amazing shade of deep blue. The ocean water here in Assiah is a very light cerulean but in Gehenna it's almost navy. When the red sun sets, and that endless blanket of pitch covers the water it's like looking at two night skies. The constellations are in different places in Gehenna but they're all so beautiful. And this isn't mentioning the silver woods a little more inland and the crystal peonies my old neighbors would get from passing traders!"

Meizhang opened her eyes but kept then glued to the floor.

"I miss home."

“I don’t think so, Rin. We came through this opening. We walked right through this parallax point. Just look at the ground, those are our footprints.” She pointed at the soft dirt and the imprints of her shoes. She turned back to Rin and sighed.

“My guess is that unless you actively seek out these parallax points, they won’t work? This needs more tests. Can you help me tag this area? I need to set up a barrier around the point so as to mark it for later.” She grabbed her bag and took tiny flags out of the bigger pocket.

“Normally I use these to tag bigger samples I can’t carry but we beed to create a perimeter around this.” She looked at him.

“The mushroom got through, and I don’t think it could actively seek out anything,” Rin said, scratching his head; Gehennan fungi was weird, but he didn’t think the one they’d found was sentient. “Maybe you have to be able to fully fit into it to work, and this one isn’t people-sized…”

“Th-That’s just what I’m guessing, though. You know a lot more about this than I do,” he said quickly, his face pink as he grabbed a few flags and began planting them around the parallax point. 

She hastily put flags around the spot, giving it as wide an area as possible. She frowned as his last statement but felt that she couldn't judge him for his feelings.

Meizhang looked at the seemingly normal spot they just encircled with tiny flags with calculating and analyzing eyes.

Meizhang broke her focus to look at Rin. As she stared at him she noticed distortion behind him. Bingo.

“That blurred effect caused by our eyes is known as parallax. It’s scientifically described as a visual displacement of an object relative to one’s line of sight. My Parallax hypothesis is that our realities work in a similar fashion. If you can train your eyes on one point then a distortion or a wobbling of the space behind it should appear, revealing natural gateways between Assiah and Gehnna.” She moved a little closer to him and the distortion in the background became greater.

“I had theorized that it was through this that many Assiahns from the ancient world, such as the epic poet Dante and the greek hero Odysseus, had reportedly visited ‘a world beyond their own’.” She stopped and looked up at the distortion, causing its ripples to disappear from her view. It was still there, she knew it.

Meizhang looked at Rin and smiled apologetically.

“Sorry if none of that made sense. But maybe if you saw one for yourself you’d be able to get a better idea. Here, stand in front of me and focus your eyes on me but pay attention to the way the space behind me gets all wierd.” She grabbed his shoulders and geared him around, standing in his place and smiling at him.

He’d passed through this part of his forest countless times, completely unaware of the natural portal. Sure, this place sometimes felt kind of off, but he’d attributed it to the fact that rot demons liked to hang around this spot. How many times had he almost blindly wandered into Gehenna? How close had he been to walking right into his father’s grasp without even knowing it? The thought spent chills down his spine and set the fur on his tail on end.

As instructed, Rin focused on Meizhang, but also tried to pay attention to what was going on behind her. The background blurred, and the half-demon’s jaw dropped; on one side, he could see the normal landscape, but on the other… well, it definitely wasn’t Assiah. It was almost like a slightly twisted mirror image of what was before him, just as he’d been told of Gehenna. Fascinated, his focus moved to the background— only for the phenomenon to instantly disappear from sight.

"I don't think so, Rin. We came through this opening. We walked right through this parallax point. Just look at the ground, those are our footprints." She pointed at the soft dirt and the imprints of her shoes. She turned back to Rin and sighed.

"Normally I use these to tag bigger samples I can't carry but we beed to create a perimeter around this." She looked at him.

As she looked she made sure to stop every few minutes to check the air. Meizhang focused her eyes and looked out at nothing in particular. She squinted her eyes, trying to find it. If she could find it then it would be more evidence for her hypothesis. She could end up turning it into a theory if she could do this!

“Would you like me to tell you what it is? A parallax point or my parallax hypothesis? It’s all quite interesting and I promise to make it easy to understand. ” She told her companion as she kept staring out into the open.

Meizhang broke her focus to look at Rin. As she stared at him she noticed distortion behind him. Bingo.
