The Halovian groaned a little as he woke up in a strange new world, one unlike where he was at last which was aboard the Astral Express. As he got up off the grass, he dusted the dirt off his attire as his ear feathers flutter to adjust to the change in the air.

His halo though transparent now flickering as he decides to hide it from those who might be curious, he then readjusted his hood over his ear feathers as they folded in to hide away as he decides to approach the nearest place which happened to be a small village of sorts? The houses here, they looked simple by design.

The more he looked around, the more he realized how vastly different things were as the attire some people were wearing looked to be of something similar to that of the floating armada where the war General known as Jing Yuan resided.

Where exactly did the Pathstrider of Harmony and fugitive of Penacony ended up? He shook his head before hearing his stomach starting to growl, this wasn’t good as he was unsure if the currency he carried would be effective here.

He didn’t want to steal anything either as he was atoning for his past actions, he gulped down the dryness forming in his throat before hearing would unfortunately try to move his right hand to grab a apple from the nearby stall that one of the villagers had set up. He was close to successfully grabbing the fruit before one of his ear feathers moved out from his hood which startled the vendor before a scream saying DEMON rang out throughout the entire area. All eyes were now directly on him, time staying still.

This caused the Halovian to freeze in place, he was going to explain that he wasn’t a demon and he meant no harm before another villager yelled for others to capture him which now caused him to flee towards the woods that stood nearby where he currently was.

He left the fruit behind as he would rather be the better person than a thief, the villagers now going to the village elder to see about getting a demon slayer to deal with this whole situation as one of the tiny feathers from one of the Halovian’s ear feathers was left on the ground by the entrance which might make others curious on what sort of creature accidentally left it there.

Damn..he was far too powerless against this damned maic spell, and as the smoke finally cleared the tall man had disappeared, leaving nothing but the sight of his clothes on the floor. However, there seemed to be something just beneath the surface. The bulge began moving around under the fabric until it finally tasted the air of freedom.

"Hey, watch out," comes a shout across the plains. The sound is followed by the appearance of a rampaging beast, seeming to drip endlessly with black water, barnacles and algae growing over it's hulking forward. It stops in front of Yusuke and squares up, bellowing loudly into the air. But before it can charge, another figure jumps atop it's back. Lupa, flaming tail streaming behind her, lands square on it's shoulders, driving the tip of her spear through the back of it's neck. "Caught ya," she growls as the Tidespawn gurgles it's last breath before falling to the ground. The beast melts into a puddle of black water before dissipating into the air. Lupa stands, swinging her spear over her shoulder, grinning brightly. "Ha, thought you could escape from me?" she boasts. She turns back to Yusuke, ears perking. She steps forward, still smiling. "Sorry 'bout that, it didn't hurt you, did it?" ➥ 𝗨𝗡𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗠𝗣𝗧𝗘𝗗 / always accepting

Boy, if Makai was something it was definitely a very grim reflection of Ningenkai. If the three countries were Japan, then this place was definitely ningenkai’s Italy. However, Hokushin told him of another land below this called Septimont, it was a country Raizen would often visit before he was crowned king..it was a place where he had honed his skills. After having lost the last tournament once again..he knew that perhaps a visit here would prepare him for the next, considering how much closer the gaps between him and the other older demons became. 

Ha, his old man was right, three hundred years or so and he’d definitely be able to take the throne..so far it’s been two hundred and ninety-six years..and he’s so much stronger than he’s ever been..his powers were gradually catching up to that boundless strength he felt when Raizen had possessed him. 

Now his travels along the wilderness brought him to trouble, because why wouldn’t Yusuke stumble into trouble? This was the very thing Hokushin had told him to be careful of, and from the looks of it he’s garnered the attention of a large beast that might have jumped out of a lagoon. Heh, that’s okay, Yusuke was more than ready for a fight but he was surprised by the sound of another’s voice ringing in the distance, and before he knew it the beast was handled violently by a rather strong and busty stranger. 

everything is fine now because their best only parent has appeared and saved them from all those cheek-obsessed ( demi ) gods ! "can I have cake?" as a reward for even enduring all of this?
