Break free from the living, Dead men tell no tales, Your living finger will never point again!
Subtle hints of bemusing went through the air as his steel shoes moved through the dirt, the leaves covered nearly everything on the ground, there wasnât a spec of dirt to be seen, a patch of grass⦠Was this realm actually starting to die out again since his last visit? The crimson flanked shroud hung loosely from his shoulder.
His eyes looked to the left for a moment before lips parting ever slowly. âSo this is what we return to, from what looked like a Dream, a foul beasts pretending to use my own shadows near me to his advantage, to this reality. Its ok, Weâve come backâ the voice was unlike Winterâs, it was deeper⦠more hollow in its craft, could it be the UnHoly Devil again? Could Lord Winter be the reverse side to Corvax Riptide?
Why exactly was Corvax back within Naethryn? He had only been here once in his life, once in his dreams, I guess his dreams would count as he is one of the last Dream-Scapes. Looking to the right now before letting his eyes glance upward to take in the full view of the nights stars⦠He wanted this night to be filled with the screams of those foolish enough to even come within his line of sight.
âCome Out, Come Out, Where ever you are. I want to see the one who unleashed that pathetic Ancient from his Prison.â If She would not come to him, then he would surely seek her out no matter where she lived, slept, dwelled, crawledâ¦

"Who do you coax out sir?''
Came a rather soft poetic voice rather feminine for what the gender of this figure was but befitting in a regal,sophisticated manner..
Two black wings hung at his sides slightly bent in so they would not be caught upon limb,nor branch,nor groping hand..His darkly toned clothing seemed to cling against his built yet rather thin form,a waist cinch having brought his hips into a perfect looking curve but not bothering his already rather thin figure not looked upon as handsome by many men more so woman who saught a different look to their bodies,Adio's face set in all it's pale splendor seemed to be noted with dark eyeliner and two black lip rings set on the left of his lower lip..Amber eyes stood against his pale features like two burning flames lost against the silky whiteness of what surrounded them such as ebony hair which stood at a short styled front and a slightly longer back,the hair overall very well kept just like the rest of the man..
Pale digits moved the obstructions of twigs and the like away from him,having been sitting off the path for a while gathering his thoughts this man's presence had caught his curiosity and he saught such a subject with this man be him friend of foe or the like of such.
Adio's figure stood before this guest to this land's heart in casual comfort,no smile kept against rather distant,haunted features and solum eyes..Oh what a puzzle indeed this man seemed to be Adio thought,yelling to the shadows and silence that raked upon any ear to beacon and coax this one he saught out for such a trivial trial..Sunken amber hues watched the man with a calm uncomfortably satisfied look ,a mix of such things brought on by the way Adio had been raised and what events had traumatized such mental factors...oh what a puzzle both men seemed to be.[/align]

Sweet treachery, slender fingers grasp at the thread labeled destiny, they wouldnât take long to complete their end of the bargain. It was this little temptation that would bring Corvax even closer toâ¦.wait, someone else was close? Who was this other persona?⦠so confusing, so disturbing⦠yet⦠exciting!
âHey, Youâ¦!â
A look of puzzled amazement came over his visage as his attention was drawn of Eclipse⦠to this new guy. -Ah Ha, Thatâs funny⦠taking the form of him, but I guess Iâll play along just this once- slowly muttered within the back of his mind. The Devil had gotten soft within the time he spent away from his realm⦠he wasnât as savage as he used to be, not since he destroyed every fragment that Used to be his wife. The secret to keeping him at bay was no more⦠he could once more roam without clause of being caught.
âI guess I coax⦠you? Or something like that?â
a slight tilt of his head in the manâs direction, the direction from where the voice had come from⦠this was unlike the aura of fear being radiated⦠this being had no fear, no expression⦠this would be more fun than he has had in a very long time⦠to figure out just what this guy was. With that⦠he would initiate the actually movement to get a closer look at the man.[/align]
-
[align=center]A slight cant of the head,raven colored bangs slung to the side causing Adio to move them back to their spot as he looked at this man,booted feet taking him into better view considerably..it was dark out after all.
"I apologize sir,I was in the woods just in the midst of playing my violin to collect my thoughts and I heard you approach,I was not spying on you..''
Adio's slender body bowed at the waist,one hand behind his back at a bent angle,open palmed and the other in a sweeping manner before he righted himself.
"Excuse my manners,my name is Adio Viora..Might I ask who you are,Im rather sure your not coaxing me out..is this a new place to you?''
A morose introduction rather then random half-based questions flying off his tongue..
Two black wings sat at either side of Adio,halfway folded in the shadows they seemed rather macabre in nature..the way shadows enticed a child not to sleep in fear of some over-riding sadness or fear that would creep over them and grope for their very souls..
Adio was one of manners,old fashioned to say the least even though he had adapted the new modern ways of music and performing for his fans with his band members...This man looked exactly like one of his band members.
"..What an awkward thing this is,you look like someone from my band.''
A slight soft flat laugh came from him,lips curling in a briefly set smirk as he stood there hands at his sides his violin back in it's massive metal case that resembled a coffin with intricate designs all about the front of the lid and in large Japanese lettering that spelled out VIORA,the family name..Adio seemed rather feminine more so hygienic for his gender and dressed in fine clothing that matched his form and the style his Band often always wore which was Kabuki rock.[/align]
-
[align=center]Adio⦠like good-bye? Odd.
The little man played within his shadows⦠tenderly⦠the soft trickling of a smile slipped passed Corvaxâs lips for a moment before they parted.
âAdio⦠I see, My name?â¦â
He paused. Which name should he present this time?⦠which of the hundreds that he has taken on through his lifetime. This was a rather difficult topic⦠a choice that he never actually had to make before, Everyone knew who he was⦠he took a few steps closer to Adio, the chains hanging from the his body making slight noise, eyes looking back at the case a little before giving a small sigh, the last person he encountered with a coffin⦠was there to try to put Corvax into it.
âWell, I guess my name is now Suzuki Riptide. I never once thought you were spying on me, I actually thought I had been following you, dear Adio.â
Pivoting on his right foot to look in another direction before letting another stream of words slip out. âI look like one of your band members? Thatâs odd, because I would have sworn you were one of my Generals.â The smile seemed to cross over his lips again before looking back up within the sky. âTell me Adio, If your passion is that Violin⦠why would you not play it while someone was around? Wouldnât you Want them to hear it?â
Maybe he wanted to hear the violin⦠he hasnât heard such an instrument since the time of his first meeting with Stella⦠perhaps it would be the one thing to calm his mind at this time. Itâs the only thing a retired Devil could want.
He waited a few seconds before turning his attention back to Adio, his eyes glancing over his clothing⦠so similar, so familiar to his own⦠perhaps this meeting was not by chance at all.
[/align]

[align=center]Following Adio?..Adio had no interests one would find in stealing,let alone any possessions other then his violin and his guitar which also resided in the huge metal case..Slender fingers grasped it's backpack like straps behind it's massive look as he slung it over his shoulder,like it was merely something he carried anyday.
A brief curl of his lips which returned to the blank look..he was very well educated his mannerisms were just,awkward.
"It's nice to meet my follower then?..And it's Adio..Not Audiou..''
A slight cant of his head again before it straightened.
"A general,havent a war-type bone in my body,I've been lost in thought,hadn't even noticed you following me then.''
His voice calm and poetically smooth,not husky or overly manly.
"People shun me for my abilities given through family-line with my violin,their rather afraid of me sadly enough..and people usually dont want me playing near them..they all know me from when I hold band performances..thousands of people..otherwise im just another person id guess.''
He'd shrug lightly.
"I'd be willing to play for you though if you'd like me to sir.''
Adio seemed rather polite but withdrawn and somewhat borderline antisocial for the most part,eyes fell on the man's attire.
"Kabuki clothing,oh my this is akwardly surprising..''
A slightly off giggle came from him.[/align]
-
âKabuki⦠So thatâs what they call this style, I wondered why some random guy back in the 1800âs kept yelling that at me.â
He said with a soft sigh before his kneeâs bent down⦠his hands went behind his back for a moment to brace himself as he sat on a patch of leafs⦠eyes closing slowly in anticipation for Adio to chine in with his Violin.
He was completely calm, not an expression over his face, body stayed in one place but on the inside⦠he was like a child again, giddy, excited with the thought of how good Adio just might beâ¦
-slithering though the paradox, such reality will not go without knowledge⦠if Adio can perform such music with his Violin then he is safe, I believe he can pull it off, but just incase he canât⦠then the world will be one Violinist less.- wordâs only spoken within Suzukiâs own mind, if by the off chance Adio could indeed read his thoughts⦠since he heard the bit about his name being like the word good-bye, since it was not ever spoken⦠Then Suzukiâs hands get to be tainted once more.

[align=center]
Adio opened his case as he set it down once more,inside a jet black flamed like bodied guitar sat a special assembled guitar that was able to be broken down into pieces,the strings self-winding..
And there,a violin sat next to the guitar,the two set apart from each other so neither would scratch and the bow in a special little compartment under the case itself..Lifting the violin up,he'd grab the bow afterward...The violin was jet black the two common symbols on the side down in a alabaster white..Adio closed the massive metal coffin like case and clasped it shut,his other hand cradling the violin and bow like a mother with a child...His head canted again as if he had heard something sunken amber eyes narrowing..Why was this man so hostile?
He drew back around,standing before the man he'd begin to play,not allowing the curiosities and questions about the man before him or his own feelings trouble his violin playing..
It would begin slowly,a haunting solum tune that floated against the air like the silence of winter itself or if one could picture a bird in flight,the way the bird drifts along during the silent mornings looking for a place to sit and wait for the energy of the afternoon to stir it once more..It was like the progression of morning into night..the bird slowly gaining energy yet the sadness of the still silence lingering with the bird,upon it's very wings as the morning proceaded later into the day..Energy would build,the same sweet sound but with more gusto..Like the very bird could dance amongst the air itself..a lingering happiness with the silence,the longing sadness to see the noon come again,where the energies lifted it from it's stupor to be one with the sky again..
Fingers dances along the neck of the violin as he played,seemingly lost in his own playing his own eyes closed his body swaying at different points where the bow would drop or rise,breathing shallow..slow..soft as he continued to play the lower or high pitches during the song seemed to become a whisper upon itself,a haunting song depicting the very sorrow that resided still within Adio that drove him to encase himself inside and out as a statue for nearly an eternity..only to come back yet again with such lingering silent sadness that he would focus his sorrow to his playing..his only solace in life..the only way he truly felt alive was when he was playing his violin..oh he loved to perform with his band but nothing could compare to his sweet violin..Soon enough the violin's voice died out with a soft almost wispy whine reminiscent to the distant cry of such a morning bird,the distant cry of happiness when Adio could touch the heaven when he flew..
Oh his sweet Violin...

[align=center]It was sweet, the tones, influences of string to hair⦠this man, Adio⦠he would not die on this night, he would not even be scratched by any other being as long as he played as he just did⦠even if it was for a short time⦠it was long enough to bring thoughts about in Corvaxâs mind that were long forgotten, then for a short time, he drifted into the past⦠almost forgotten by the world⦠the surroundings⦠Adio, he cared not for anything else but the music being played a few feet from where he sat.
âSynchronicityâ he softly whispered, almost too soft for even himself to hear⦠he knew the song, he knew songs that even the people that created them did not know themselves⦠this specific song though, this song preformed by its band, Alexial had taken him to see them at their 100th show⦠it was the only wish Corvaxâs son had⦠so take his father to their time, to meet that band⦠to meet the one they called âThe Frozen Princeâ⦠whether or not Adio knew who the prince was⦠would not be divulged to him at this time.
Lips parting slowly at the ending notes of his song⦠another sign escaped Corvaxâs lips before his eyes would open, a small glance around the area before looking over at the other man⦠he did not know if he should ask for him to keep playing or to start onto another topic⦠so he would leave it completely up to Adio. Slowly moving to a stand while reaching down to grab at a piece of leaf⦠the sound of his chains rang through once more but in addition⦠the necklace made a noise, the escaping sound from under his shirt, upon the simple chain rested a trinket⦠like an upside down triangle but with round edges, upon the center was the image of an Either point star⦠in the center of the star, covering most of it⦠was a sadistic looking joker. [I think youâll know when you read this lol.]
His eyes moved down to the trinket quickly before standing back up⦠the chain was not in the best of shape but it had survived through the hears with only breaking twice⦠he didnât want to take another chance. After looking at his necklace, his eyes roamed back over to Adio, for the first time in his entire life, Corvaxâs left hand went to his stomach while his right went behind his back, back arching forward as his eyes went to the ground. ⦠a bow for such beautiful music.
âThank you⦠Adioâ¦. domo.â The âdomo- had been in mere whispers, he rarely wanted those that knew of his lifestyle to see him in such a manner, but that was not the case here as Adio⦠knew nothing of Corvax, of his past⦠this situation was truly interesting.[/align]
-
[align=center]The world seemed to sink back in a soft exhale following,amber eyes dilating to the shadows and different variations of light around them..He seemed dazed for a moment before his guest would bow a very surprising and uplifting thing to Adio.
âThank you⦠Adioâ¦. domo.â
A slight look of being taken back,but in a good was ensued..A rather quaint and soft smile followed there in.
"Your welcome.''
Fingers still ached for his violin's song.
"Do you want me to play another song,you seemed to rather like it,im rather flattered.''
His ears twitched Adio's eyes landing on mid-length of the man's chest.
"Im sorry,what was that noise if I might ask?..it sounded like some sort of trinket?''[/align]
-
[align=center]Slowly letting his gaze move back to the trinket before letting his right hand move up to the small thing⦠his legs began to move more so towards Adio now as his fingers played over the edges of the trinket.
Stopping just feet from Adio before lifting the thing up to where he could see it more clearly⦠âThis? I got it from a friend along with his instrument.â A little divulging of truth⦠Suzuki, able to play an instrument?⦠when infact⦠it was the Violin that was his first instrument to learn to play back when he was still human. He had began to spin it slightly only to reverse its rotation⦠if Adio was fast enough, he would be able to see just who the trinket came from, and what Band the guy was from.
âAnother?⦠Are you sure youâre up for that?â he said rather softly before taking a few steps back. His eyes moving back to the Violin, taking in every detail of it before Adio put it away or continued to play.
[/align]

[align=center]Adio took a look at the necklace canting his head some to see the necklace better considerably so it wasn't just shoved right into his face.
"A necklace from a friend and an instrument,did he love you?''
He asked with all truth lingering in his voices,no sarcasm no childish tone,he really wished to know he saw the love between one or another no matter what gender as something beautiful,he himself saught the same gender and found his companion in his band mate Reita..
He was so beautiful..Reita was perfection..a creation of god's time and effort none the less..As his guest stepped back Adio had to choose between putting his instrument away or playing again for this man..Looking down to his violin he'd notice his fingers,all of the fingers he used to set the strings along the neck were bleeding..
He always bled from that song.
No taken back expression,no pain,just a blank look as the wounds closed up,he knelt down brushing his fingers crossed the grass..He spoke quietly.
"My violin,it was given to me by my mother and father before my brother Darius murdered them in their sleep..The violin is special to me something I never leave anywhere without because when I play it everything goes away..All this sadness,this cursed silence..I admit that im happy now..but this silence..this sadness will haunt me forever...''
He stood up shifting his shoulders causing his wings to riffle,two feathers obviously old fell to the ground..Adio payed no attention to it,not even noticing it.
"I play to feel what it really is to be alive,no human can feel the way I do when I play my violin..I digress that my performing brings on the same euphoria but the violin is unbeatable...The song I played for you is a song I play for my parents during their anniversary...''
Adio said glancing down at his violin..
"Thats why my fingers were bleeding,not because I didn't play it on the right day..it's just the song..to the violin..it makes it sad too..''
A soft intake of air before he looked up.
"I'm sorry,im sounding foolish....to answer your question really..if you'd like me to I will,if not..I wont..It's merely your decision sir.''
He smiled halfly.[/align]
-
A soft smile before his eyes moved from the Violin back to Adioâs own eyes.
âIf it is what you desire. Play to your hearts content.â
He says before pushing the dirt away from the heel of his shoe⦠with his shoe. His breath softens with every moment, the nostalgia of playing his own instrument once more was coming back, the urge to rip into the fabric of his realm was getting closer⦠Corvax wanted to use his power, but yet, he wanted to keep it at bay, he didnât feel the need, time nor place to bring that side of destruction onto this field of peace.
âLove? Rei? Iâm not sure, He might have, If I ever see him again, Iâll ask him.â Love? Could anyone other than his late wife have loved him? Did even his own Son love him? After what he has done?⦠a question that could never be answered in this existence.
Bleeding fingers? To bleed the toxic venom in front of this species, to let the smell of such embrace engulf his mind⦠should be dare block it out? âI see, so your violin is sad? Thatâs not good, Cheer it up, play something to falter its remorse.â
With so much said, He would not say another word, he was never one to make conversation, never one to express himself without his blades, times would not change now. Digging his right heel into the ground roughly before pivoting around to face the same direction that he had ventured, his feet would begin to carry him.
He wished not to burden Adio with his presence, if Corvax in fact did look like someone from his band, and he was away from his band⦠then Corvax could not be around⦠it would only depress Adio and cause his Violinâs songs to be filled with sorrow⦠something he no longer wished to spread.
âIt was very pleasant meeting you, listening to you. Thank you once more, Dear Adio.â
Words spoken as his head tilted to the left, the ambiance of his voice should carry far enough so that Adioâs ears could pick them up.
-
[align=center]Amber eyes peered up at the man as he began to walk away.
"I can't cheer it up,it's the only thing I have that connects me to my own emotions,without my violin I'd have no way in knowing what emotions were or how they sounded..I'd be a shell.''
He explained.
"The violin often acts on it's own a single note or tune can explain my emotions from it when it does decide to show it.''
He'd shrug.
"I played the song I did for you only when it was my parent's anniversary..even after they were murdered by my brother I continued to play it before their portrait or in their room with their windows open so their spirits can be free to move about.''
Eyes would cast down.
"I only ask of you what I had for I was shunned by many people who knew the artistry of how my parent's became slave-owners just by using their instruments...my brother hadn't inherited the gift or the ability to use an instrument,he grew jealous thus he killed out parents.''[/align]
-
[align=center]Sweet seduction, sweet conjuration of a once forgotten falsity⦠key aspects in the living animation of our worlds colliding. All words unknown to a false existence through time and space, this is what our little happening had been.
His feet had stopped carrying him away from Adio⦠he wanted to bring his own instrument of destruction out so badly, but the vow to never touch the power again unless it was to save a life⦠was stopping him from showing Adio his own personal skill.
Head still turned to allow Adio to hear his words, his right hand coming up ever slowly⦠he could do it, tear a steam in this world to break the truce between realms⦠but for what? To make Adio happy? To make Adio feel more comfortable around him? To actually be able to play his instrument for the last time in his existence?
Dear Adio⦠shunned? Cast out by those who he sought to befriend? His eyes closed for a second before his hand closed tightly, the black ambiance erupted around his now closed fist before the rift began to take place, the Blood God was⦠Stretching his one rule to allow someone else to be happy, he was in no fashion breaking a rule to cause others harm.
His arm extended outward for a second before it began to disappear⦠moving within the rift to the courtyard racks of his Castles domain before gripping onto it⦠the instrument of Destruction. Corvaxâs hand pulled back swiftly and with it⦠the blackened, red spiraled instrumentâ¦the rift slowly closed once his hand and instrument were free⦠the bow hanging closely below the instrument before his right hand picked at it⦠right hand came to lift the Instrument to his neck, resting his chin gently on the soft pad before lifting the Bow to its strings⦠Fingers stretching over the neck of the instrument before pressing firmly.
Gently moving the bow downward a little before raising it back up, Corvaxâs fingers moved down the neck for a second then back up with rather un-normal speed⦠the bow played across the strings, causing them to scream in glee of finally being able to sing once moreâ¦. This⦠was his gift to Adio, before he left.

Adio watched the man pull the hauntingly beautiful instrument from seemingly nowhere.
He..he was playing for Adio?
The instrument seemed so happy to be played again,to be in it's master's touch and admiration any instrumentally inclined person would have for their extension of their person.
Corvax's finger's moved like water against the silver strings of the violin,in perfect motion..in perfect sync..the music was so beautiful..So haunting..
Adio found himself lost in his own thoughts,his body unmoving as he listened..until..it was done..Slightly now distant eyes peered up at Corvax.
"T..thank you.''
He said softly almost taken back in a positive manner a small smile creeping over stale lips,hands still clutching his own extension of himself..what else would come to between this man and himself?..Being so distant from people made carrying on conversations rather difficult,let alone knowing what appealed to the senses of the person whom inquired to speak with him..Eyes casted down,he not sure what else he could of said,could of done..hoping not to insult the man.
-
Twisting, turning, craving and yurning. All emotions coming from the Violin, fingers moving in motion to the song as all of a sudden the song had changed, in the middle of strokes... it had converted with minimal error on Corvax's part. The song was distinctive to Adio, a song that he had just played for Corvax? exact emotion, pressing his fingers into the strings as hard as he could, the hair near the brink of snapping from the bow.
Why was he imitating Adio? HOW was he imitating Adio? what kind of power would allow him the ability to convert anothers emotion, power, influance over an instrument... into his own? Corvax's eyes glanced upward a little to allow the Devil the scene of text, the words hovering slightly over Adio's head... was this the one that would replace Stella? replace her not as Corvax's life-mate... but to replace her as the holder of Corvax's Book. his body had turned to fullow take in the visage covering Adio's face at this display of un-natural act, the Violin lowered from his chin, yet.. his hands continues to hold each piece, continued to play Adio's song, to play the song as slow and deadly as Adio had played it not even ten minutes ago... the crimson elixir bean to spill from the tips of his fingers, was he pressing too hard on the string? or was he imitating the sond too perfectly?
Lips parting slowly as he began to take new steps towards Adio, music still playing from his instrument, he didn't need to have it directly pressed under his chin to preform it, inches below would suffice. "Never thank me, you will never have to thank me as long as you live, Adio."
-
[align=center]Adio watched the man continue playing,the song changed..Why was he playing that song for..no one knew how to except for him,and his parents rest their souls none the less but however this man's fingers bled like Adio's..How was the man playing the song so perfectly,fingers danced as an extension of the violin..
Amber eyes widened somewhat,his right foot shifting back as the man walked closer to him telling he'd never have to thank him as long as he lived..Curiosity gripped at him like a new winter's frost..Eyes looking down at the violin,oh he dared to wonder,he dared to ponder..Attention was brought back to the man.
"....as long as I live?''
What was this man exactly?..so many diffrent questions only one answer it seemed.[/align]
-
Still moving closer to the artist as his eyes seemed to brighten, the song would be ending soon, the subtle hints of elucidation could never be misunderstood in enthralling lights, He was here for one thing and one thing only⦠to find another to give him a reason to kill, to take justice for those who have done anything against his unlawful natureâ¦
The song⦠it slowed, rhythm and melody began to halt its tone all the quicker before placing the bow within his other hand⦠his now free hand began to reach within his pocket to retrieve a⦠note? A piece of paper that would unleash Adioâs mind to the truth of what Corvax really was⦠why he had all the titles, all the glory.
His hand receded back with the paper between fingers, extending his arm outright in order for Adio to grab hold of the parchment⦠IFâ¦
If by the small chance that Adio did grasp the paper, he would soon realize What Corvax was, realize that he was not who most were, how he was able to duplicate the Artists song to a perfect arc, he would be able to see the true form of Corvax, the cross over his cheek, the clothing, chains⦠almost the same as his humanoid existence⦠only his nature skin, body⦠it was all different, yet⦠all the same.
-
[align=center]Adio found himself wanting to move back from this man again,feeling uneasy almost crowded by the very presence of 'Corvax' but as the bit of note was handed out toward him he'd stop in mid-step..Adio's hand moved to reach up to it,unhesitating fingers curled back for a moment before Adio took the bit of note from the fingers of the man..Different colors showed up,bleeding out what he had seen,what he had known..Amber eyes stalled not wanting to look up for the longest while before he did the man's appearance utterly diffrent,new..
"...Shinigami.''
Adio stammered in a whispered hush,was he dreaming...these 'beings'..death gods,they were only supposed to live in a child's imagination,the words of elders using dark stories to lend their children a reason to sleep,a reason to remember why they where there,and how easy they could be taken out all in a week,a night or even day..Was he dreaming,had his mind fallen back into that endless pit of darkness?...no..it was really here..the Shinigami..[/align]
-
The grin encumbered his lips as Adio took the piece of paper, the revealing of what Corvax really was, of what his lost Wife saw all those years ago, the reason he could not be killed, though many tried to take his life⦠it was all for nothing, all it turned out to be was the death of others by his own hands.
Adioâs expressions took it all, the entire emphasis on why he was here⦠the fear he could cause once more, even if Adio left the Death Note with Corvax, turned his back⦠He still touched it⦠he still released the true nature of the Monster on every realm he could think of, that simple fact was the soul reason he had to retire⦠he could not harm a living being as long as there was no user to his Note.
âYou seem to know about us, almost as much as I know about you⦠dear Adio, but the question that perks itself from within isâ¦â he waited a moment before giving the sentence its broken piece, he wanted to let Adioâs mind fill with what he was doing⦠what he had just done, what he unleashed upon the world.
âWill you run from this? Or will you embrace the true nature of this reality and seek vengeance upon those who have harmed your mind?â
-
[align=center]Adio seemed quite taken back by all of this,in surprise none the less as he looked at Corvax with a dead stare,the hand holding the bit of note trembling softly even after he had lowered it..
::A shinigami...a real Shinigami..::
The very thought of it made him shudder,had what the books described about these 'death-gods' been true,even Adio wouldn't know the old tales his brother would tell to scare him were long lost in his mind,only the fear it bestowed lingered with that name.....The nightmares..
But.
âYou seem to know about us, almost as much as I know about you⦠dear Adio, but the question that perks itself from within isâ¦â
He could make everything better,no bad people...but did they even deserve to die..did anyone deserve to die in this world?
âWill you run from this? Or will you embrace the true nature of this reality and seek vengeance upon those who have harmed your mind?â
People had hurt him,had maimed his body..pummeling him with rocks and whips while other's watched and laughed..People had used him for his trust,used him for their own twisted fantasies..for their release of pain,of hate..All his life he had been hurt,his own brother had slaughtered their parents,his first love had been nothing but a woman who had felt sorry for him and left him for another in the end,people shunned him in his own village where his parent's brought together vampires to live as a community which even turned on them in the end..Everyone had turned on him in the end,Except for Reita..Reita had been there for him..Had waited even through Adio's disappearance..Had nearly committed Suicide just because people had told him Adio committed suicide..Reita followed his every word,trusted his every promise..Reita had been the only one in the world to ever understand Adio..Adio's right hand curled into a loose fist,his claws cutting into his pants as he looked at Corvax....What gave these things the right to have other people kill eachother,what gave them any................
Adio smirked..
"I embrace the true nature of this reality.''
Adio replied looking up at Corvax still,small drops of blood seeping from the cuts his claws had caused from puncturing through his pants leg on his right leg there upon his thigh...Adio had excepted the 'invitation' the Shinigami announced..He had excepted to bring the ones who had wronged him and his family,the ones who had broken apart families,killed children..killed mothers..fathers like his own...He had accepted to shape the world as he seen fit...He had accepted the very power of god that so many would kill and die for to obtain..Vengeance had been the fuel of Adio's silent anger,the very emotion he feared,the very emotion he tryed to hide ever since his blood had awoken..
Oh things would change...Adio would see to that..[/align]
-
Soft temptations of sweet death, he would take the Godâs proposal all too quickly, Corvax sure did find a nice soul to corrupt this time, Adio had even a larger Bloodlust than the God ever expected. His eyes moved down to the blood spilling from Adioâs hands. Brows raised a little before his empty hand reached into his pocket once more, this time on the other side of the coat, pulling a shiny red object out⦠raising it up a little to where Adio can see it. âWould you like a bite?â He asked, his voice was almost too calm, much more than it had been ten minutes ago.
âOk, since Youâve now seen what I really look like, you now know what I am, and what I can do⦠the question is, are you going to actually USE the Death Note? Or are you going to let it remain un-used? Because it would absolutely suck if I didnât get to atleast seek revenge on someone for you while you have that thing.â
The longest strain of words he had spoken since they met, the Violin within his hand soon began to deteriorate before them both, it was not being destroyed, simply returning to the world Corvax pulled it from, it never liked to be gone from its own world for too long. Should Corvax give Adio one free ability? Allow him to have access to one of Corvaxâs powers without paying the price of shortening his own life? Such a thing would remain silent until he had more time to think it over, he didnât want to ruch Adio into this too fast⦠he didnât need the kid getting killed just yet.
-
[align=center] Adio listened to what Corvax had to say,dull amber eyes moving to the object he pulled out asking Adio if he'd like a bite.
âWould you like a bite?â
"An apple,I didn't expect Shinigamis to like something like that but no thank you.''
The smirk having left Adio's face as he looked down taking out a cloth from his pocket he whipped the blood from his fingers now seemingly having noticed the few scratches he had made,and the rip from his claws in his pants..He'd stuff the cloth back into his pocket afterward the small rip could be fixed later on.
âOk, since Youâve now seen what I really look like, you now know what I am, and what I can do⦠the question is, are you going to actually USE the Death Note?
Adio gave a rather overly innocent grin,his tone of voice not matching it one bit it seemed.
"of course I'll use it but don't expect me to go for the bigger..''issues'' just yet,that wouldn't be any fun for you im sure...I know your real but I still want to see what I can get other people to do for themselves.''
The fake grin receded only a small smirk on his face before he turned.
"What do you say,want to go into town and see who we could find?..They have a apple vender..Oh before we go.''
He turned back looking at Corvax
"Is there anything I should know before I let you have your fun?''
Oh,nothing good would come from this..[/align]
-
He⦠refused the apple? That kind of sucked, Oh well.
Placing the apple back within his pocket before shaking his head a little, He started to walk behind Adio before letting that smirk cross over his lips once more, the thought of Apples where they were going, that was all too amazing, perhaps he could pick up a couple hundred while they were there⦠but, wouldnât that mean that he has to BUY them? He was afterall, from another world⦠so the thought of buying apples had been too far out of the question.
Anything to tell him? Should he inform him of the many clauses of the Death Note? Or let him realise just how dangerous it really is? A small breath was taken as he started to walk in the direction that Adio was previously facing. âCome now, if I must prove myself, then so be it⦠just make sure that you donât bore me while we do this.â
Was that sarcasm? Was he really talking like that to Adio? After being so kind? Oh well, he wanted to get the job started⦠he wanted to start killing off the human race as fast as he could before someone else beat him to the job.
-
[align=center]âCome now, if I must prove myself, then so be it⦠just make sure that you donât bore me while we do this.â
Adio had a short temper,to anyone who could find the right buttons to push anyways,Adio's teeth gritted lightly but he sighed.
"I don't intend to,just stay out of sight the best you can since you seem so ..'eager.' when we get this done I'll get you the apples from the vendor alright?..Ill have one with you then...just have to find the right person..''
He glanced out toward the path back to the town,there was plenty of 'problems' there in that town,hateful people but at the same time a small..a very small percent of nice folk..Adio ran a hand through his hair before gesturing to Corvax.
"Lets get this started then,hope you have patience..''
He muttered before a rush of sand and dust shot up from where he was,he appearing above standing on a large tree branch looking down at Corvax before he took down the path toward the village his loosely fit shirt fluttering against his body,his wings un-seeable for now as in a while they'd reach
The entrance of the village..Adio watching as people walked through the gates or near the villages that may or may have not been in walking distance of the area Adio and Corvax possibly seemed harmless,just people resting on way to a diffrent location in or around the region of the village itself.
Oh things had changed for what seemed the best,he'd find someone he'd consider a lost cause,a problem to the world and maybe then Corvax would give him the real responsibility of taking care of the abominations.
he looked utterly harmless as said,with or without the factor of him just sitting there,observing the people that went by or even the children that tagged along by their sides,it was more then that..observing how they reacted to others,to their surroundings,to the shopkeepers .One of the people venturing along the path to the castle caught his intrest,a young woman who seemed to litarlly drag her child along behind her as the little boy screamed about how the guards of the village scared him and how he was tired and wanted to go home,the mother payed no attention often cursing about why she was so stupid to have a child that was such an abomination to the ears and eyes..Adio frowned looking back,wondering if Corvax had kept pace and would be at least near the area.
"...Think I found someone..Just keep out of sight if you follow,.let me see what I can do.''
He said and lept down from where he perched as he walked along the path toward the woman he'd sideline then going off toward a couple who looked rather disgusted by the woman..He'd keep off to the side just standing there looking around keeping his face from the woman's or her husband's view,as if he was merely a tourist taking in the sights.
"She seems rather irritable don't you think?''
"She never seems to be happy when her boy is around,I don't see why not the child seems so kind and sweet to the other children when I've seen them playing.''
"Awkward how personalities differ from parent to child...Have a good day...I need to get going''
before the woman had time to respond Adio had disapeared from her and her husband's side,venturing to a near-by tavern he'd seen the woman walk into he'd take a seat at the bar,good enough away from the woman and the time span he had taken from getting to the couple outside to coming here made him look just like an everyday villager or traveler with only themselves in mind...The little boy seemed to be still screaming and crying and still,the child was ignored by the mother who seemed to have booze more then her responsibility in mind at the moment.
"Be quiet Yachimaru!?''
"I wanu go home,im tired mommy,you been here all day!"
"Well,if annoying little children would stop screaming and crying mommy wouldn't have to drink so much to drone out their annoying little voice and damn the day she had them would she?!"
[glow=red:44689d8605]
''You need to quiet yourself and your child down Maui.''[/glow:44689d8605]
Adio peered over his shoulder as the bartender addressed the woman by her name who had become quite furious with even the bartender rather quickly and proceeded to curse him out in a drunken stupor her dull blond hair disheveled against her Grey eyes and rather sun-wrinkled and booze thinned skin.
"Shut up,dont tell me what to *hicup* do you bar-wench!,do your job and bring me more wine,and give the little monster some water!?"
Adio was astounded at this woman's behavior and sorry the child had to be put through such torment,oh if he could..
No..he wouldn't not here..He'd handle this a diffrent way.
It had been nearly an hour and a half later before the woman and the boy left,Adio waited for a while,eyes tracing the way they went as they got out of the door,the mother stumbling and stammering about old memories sat down on a bench to pass out,unsurprisingly not even a hundred feet from the bar..The little boy sat behind the bench playing with a bag of marbles,a rather smug expression on his face as he sniffled at times a few stray tears running down his face..
Adio had left out of the bar now and a small pop would issue before he appeared in front of the child,Adio's face and form had changed his black hair now a off grey his eyes a grey blue,an old hat nearly oversized for Adio's child like appearance sat on his head,and the rest of his clothing was made up of a white scruffy slightly dingy shirt and a pair of old black pants with scraggly pants cuffs and a hole in the knee,something typical for a kid who played alot,his overall age appearance possibly looking around four or five,he had forgotten how it was to be this little,this innocent.
(http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff221/H-I-K-A-R-I/boys/hat.jpg)
"Hi,wanna play?''
Adio admired how kind the child was,even having been put through such terror the drunkard mother had bestowed upon him,Adio smiled childishly looking over his shoulder for a moment trying to see where Corvax had gone off too before looking back to the kid.
"Sure!"
Adio sat down he began playing the game of marbles with the young boy before he stopped looking back at Yachimaru's mother who snorted and snored in her booze induced sleep.
Whats wrung?..oh..my mommy..sowwy if she scares yu..she drinks alot of funny smelling water...it makes her even madder..and she hates me mor..
"Why would she hate yu,yur really nice,whuts yur nam?''
Adio's speech befitting for a child of Yachimaru's age.
"Yachimaru,whats yourz?''
"Mines Shouten!"
Adio grinned before looking back at the child's mother.
"Yur mommy doesn't look nice at all,dus she ever hit you?''
Adio asked,the little boy nodded pulling his grungy shirt sleeve up to show a big bruise.
"Thats only one.''
Yachimaru frowned,Adio felt disgusted at how this woman was treating her only child,he went on playing marbles with the boy before he stopped taking out a small snack-cake the little boy looked hungrily at it,Adio moved to put some in his mouth and stopped looking up at the boy he blinked before offering the snack-cake to the child.who devoured it rather quickly.
"Here you have it,Dusnt she give you food?''
No not alwuys.sometimes but..she forgets...she tuld me she needed the money for the smelly water,I wasn't worth using it up.
Now that was an all time low for any woman Adio had ever known or heard of..Adio picked another marble up tossing it into the circle to knock some out of the way before he looked up at the little boy rubbing his own nose as he sneezed.
"Do you evur wish you were with someone else in yur family?''
"My aunt Seki..she knows my mommy is bad..she gives me food and stuff when she visits..even thu..''
"whut?''
"mommy takes the stuff away sumtimes,or she throws food out..says its not for naughty little boys..or a..abom....that big word she uses.''
Abomination,Adio knew that word all to well,just the mention irritated him,his fingers drawing back he'd accidently hit two marbles to far,it going into the street amungst the people walking,and the horses trotting about..
"opps sowwy,ill go get it wait here!"
"Okie.''
Adio got up and rushed to where the marbles had gone to.
"Corvax.''
The little boy had gone back to playing not really paying much attention so Adio was in the clear..Adio scooped the marbles up and walked back near the tavern still keeping out of the boys sight.
"Corvax?!"
Where the hell was he?[/align]
-
I see, so he wants to try to induce apples into the situation as part of a bribe? Was she really that cracked out of her mind? Did she really think that he would go for such a thing in the time of need? Time of need� What? No way.
So this is what people think of his kind? Something to hide from the others? Alright⦠then he will hide from everyone until he is actually needed.
Moving into the city, his form that of a human, nothing abnormal about him⦠except for the fact that he hovers at a whopping 6â6â while every other being sulks below him. Eyes wandering around the platform of this verse for a moment, searching for another of his kind or even another with a Death Note⦠should be come across on, it would be the easiest task to complete their own death, searching still, moving through the streets of this town, wanting to find something⦠someâ¦thing? That smell, it was here⦠he found it! He HAD to have one! His feet carried him in the direction of the smell.
He was on the hunt, he had to hunt it down, to compeltely, utterly find the source of⦠of⦠Oh hell, Adio was calling for him already⦠the soft ring of Adios voice began to drill holes into Corvaxâs mind as he tried to summon the Devil. His head turned a little as did his body⦠he was sooooo close to obtaining a red, ripe, juicy⦠apple.
Taking a small sigh as his body slowly began to deteriate infront of all the towns people, he cared not if he used his powers infront of others, he finally had someone to use his Death Note once more⦠it would take mere seconds before appearing before Adio, his visage that of rage⦠It wasnât Adioâs fault really, he had no idea what Corvax was doing⦠but all the same, he just had to pick that exact time to call upon him? Glancing down at Adioâs face for a moment before looking around the room, where exactly did Adio just summon him to?
âYou called? Is it time yet? Or can I go back to obtaining something wonderful?â
A fraction of sarcasm in his words but mostly meaningful, he adored his apples⦠more than any Shinigami ever did, ever would or ever could⦠Apples, the delicious food that could only cure his hunger.
-
[align=center]Adio looked up at Corvax.
"That woman in the front of the tavern here that's passed out on the bench,she abuses her child,doesn't feed him or anything..All she does is drink and curse the day she had him..I want her to pay for her sins..So that child doesn't have to when he's older.''
He seemed rather determined to make this child's mother pay.
Shouten?
Adio gestured for Corvax to wait a moment as he ran around the side of the tavern peering out from the side of the wall.
"hold on,ill play with you more Yachimaru,just gotta get marbles,tey rolled under the door.''
Okay..
The child went back to playing with the marbles,Adio went back to Corvax.
"So do I get to make the woman pay for her sins,I'll give you a nice show.''
Adio smirked.[/align]
-
Apples⦠why was he being so mean to me? Why was he keeping me from the second thing that could make me happy in this world?
âI see, Thenâ¦â
Reaching back into the jacket pocket for a second before gripping onto the Note book, letting it slip from its protective covering before extending it out to Adio. âUse this, Write down the name of who you wish to punish, have a picture of their face within your mind while writing the name down⦠if done exactly as I have said, they will be punished.â
He said, not wanting to tell Adio that he was about to kill the Mother of this child and condem his own soul to Corvax forever.
âany pen will do, as long as it is a Pen and not a Pencil, One last thing⦠Try not to let others touch my Death Note, or even See the thing.â
-
[align=center]Adio smirked as he was given the deathnote nodding to the instructions Corvax gave him he opened the notebook to the new page,opening his hand a small black pen would appear he looked over his shoulder for a moment looking at the poor child playing by himself,he'd make the woman go away,maybe get help right?..He'd make her pay for her sins..He'd help Yachimaru get out of that Nightmare.
A name..He had a name just the first though..wait.
He remembered the woman she had been kicked out of the tavern quite a few times,he had gotten nearly three letters pertaining to the woman's drunken fights and harassment..She had acutely injured the bartender one time..Adio tryed to Remember the whole name of the woman her disgusting face wasn't hard to forget..He'd look down now at the notebook page the woman's last name seeming to hit him in the face as he, almost seeming to hesitate at doing what Corvax had isntructed about how to use the deathnote..Fingers moved as the pen pressed against the paper,writing the woman's name down
Maui Gensi
He wrote down the pen disappearing from his hand as he closed the notebook,he'd go back to play with Yachimaru now,so it wouldn't look so awkward..Adio faltered for a moment almost looking around expecting something to happen,someone to show up and bring the woman to somewhere she could be helped...he shook his head before he'd look at Corvax.
"..I'll be right back..."
He said as he picked the marbles out of his pocket and ran back over to Yachimaru giggling.
"Sorry it took me so long alot of people in that place..here,i found them and I found you a surprise!"
Oh what is it!?
Adio pulled out a third marble,it was jet black with a white inside that looked like an angel feather..He held the three marbles out,Yachimaru looked overjoyed.
That black one is so pwetty!,It looks like a feather inside,where did you find it?
"I found it under one of the bench chair things inside,it was where the others rolleded to,i tooked it too because you liked marbles alot so i figured you'd like it too.''
What a mouth full of words,some things you just live better without when you grow up.
Thank you shouten!
"welcome!"
He felt so stupid acting like this,but he seemed to be doing a good job,he looked at the still sleeping Maui on the bench as she snorted and shifted around in her sleep,why wasn't anything happening yet?..yachimaru blinked.
Shouten?
"huh?''
Looking back at Yachimaru with little effort of having to revert his gaze.
Where do you live?
Think fast Adio...
"The orphanage outside town..My parents abandoned me when I was born.''
Im sowwy Shouten.
"It's okie,I know i'll have a better life sooner or later.''
In truth,the orphanage Adio talked about had burnt down years ago,when Adio had first committed Suicide another way they couldn't link Adio back to any of whatever would happen,even if it would help the lady get better...
I hope so,your really nice.
"Thanks,you too.''
Yachimaru smiled,Adio admired how happy the child could be even with all this pain he must of experienced through his more visual years with this woman he had to call his mother..
[/align]
-
He smiled, Adio was writing into his Death Note, Such beauty, the strokes, the way he wrote down her name, he was nothing like his old userâ¦. But not everyone can be the same⦠right?
Laughter? There began a faint laugh from between Corvaxâs lips before it grew, growing to become a chuckle at the way Adio thought of this kid⦠he was about to take the only Mother the kid had⦠even if it solved his pain, Adio was about to give the kid a whole new one.
His feet slowly began to carry him away from Adio, the mere sight of Corvax had vanished from even Adios eyes, he didnât want his user to see just what he was doing, His left hand slowly rose to the direct line of where the Motherâs chest would be, fingers twirling around a piece of fabric, so loosly woven that even a mere tug would break the thing into pieces⦠and so it would happen, that small tug would take place, breaking the lifespan of the Mother⦠giving the small boy a reason to either Hate life, or Love it.
This is what Adio wanted, to rid the little childs existanc eof his mother⦠and so it was done, she would not move, her breathing would stop soon, the mere sight of her would seem as if she had fallen into a deep sleepâ¦
His eyes fixated back upon Adio, his appearance to the artist would become more clear as he drew closer, he would not let himself become visible to the other humans around this placeâ¦yet.
âIt is done.â
-
[align=center] Adio kept playing marbles with Yachimaru before he'd hear Corvax,he'd look to the child then,wasnt there someone who was gunna help the lady..would she get up and hug the boy telling him how sorry she was?
"Hey do you wanna come to my room at the orphanage and play?''
Sure but..oh.
he looked back toward the bench where his mother lay seemingly sleeping to him still as it would look like..
Let me go ask mommy.
"Okie.''
The little boy ran over to the bench.
Mommy?
She didn't say anything,the little boy blinked nudging her with his hands.
Mommy?
He seemed to get somewhat more frantic now,Adio looked his eyes wide..Why wasn't the woman responding...?..Adio got up walking over to Yachimaru.
"She okie?''
don't know..mommy..mommy come on wake up!
Tears started forming in the little boys eyes it struck adio then..His Grey eyes widened his breath trembling watching the little boy try everything to get his mother to wake up..
"Yachimaru...do you know your auntie's number?..."
Why,whats wrong with mommy,Shouten what happened to her!
"I think the smelly water made her..go away.''
What,go away..wont she come back?..Shouten why isn't she waking up!?
"yachimaru,I think she's dead...''
...I..wha....no..mommy wake up..wake up..im sorry for being bad..im sorry..im sorry..wake up!
"Yachimaru..go..call your auntie tell her what happened..''
No..mommy..mommy!
"yachimaru..now!''
I..ok..
The child ran off crying histaricly,Adio's hand rested on the notebook he had set inside the big pocket of his old khaki jeans..He just killed someone..just by writing their name down.....a few tears ran down Adio's face as he called out to a passing man who turned out to be the bartender.
"Mister!..Something happened to that kids mommy!"
What?.the booze must of finally gotten to her..poor girl..what a place to die at..
"Yachimaru went to call his aunti..whats wrong with her mister.''
The man walked over bending down he set his hand near the woman's mouth,a grim expression crossing his face.
She's passed away..
"Dead?''
Yes..I'll notify the town coroner...run along boy..
"a..alright.''
Adio ran off back toward the back of the tavern sitting down against the willow tree covering his face,she was dead..what would happen if Yachimaru's aunt wouldn't take him in?...The kid would be sent to the orphanage in the next realm area..or sent to a work house if he wasn't accepted by any parents...What in hell just happened?..Adio pulled out the notebook from in the big pocket of his pants as he looked at it his fingers trembling..He could kill people this easy...people he thought were bad...were an abomination to the world..he played with something a god had the ability to do?...
"C..corvax.''
He stammered as one of his wings moved out of his back to cover him as he shape shifted back into his real form..he stood up then,folding his wings to his back still looking down at the Deathnote..
[/align]
-
Laughing even more at the expression upon Adioâs face⦠surely he knew just what a Shinigami wasâ¦surely he knew that a creature with the name of Death God, could not be a good thing.
âYes? You, uh⦠need something else done?â he says with a small grin, loving every minute of writing, but⦠it was time, he proved himself⦠he did what Adio asked of him⦠now⦠its time for some apples.
âOk, Apple time, right?â
He says before looking around the room, trying to find out if he had actually brought out some apples⦠or if it was all just a game⦠a teasing method done to torture a Shinigami beyond all extent. He waited a few more minutes to see if Adio actually needed him or if he was free to roam to the stand full of apples, oh how this would be an extreme thing, to pick up as many apples as he could, bring them back to the realm of the Shinigamiâs⦠everyone would like him even more so then they already have to.
-
[align=center]Adio looked up at Corvax his eyes seemingly distant,blinking lightly he'd then speak.
"Apples oh right..I'll get get some..they've got some really uh,good apples in town here..I guess their called Fuji apples but yeah..um..I'll go get some..the stand is in the market,you can come with if you..want too..''
The woman's demise seemed to bother him immensely,some part of him knew it would end like this it was obvious anyways but the whole matter of it being this easy..and how the little boy reacted even though he said how much he hated his mother..and how the bartender reacted...she was a bad woman!..A drunk!..A no good for nothing user who never should have been blessed with such an angel of a child..Adio walked passed Corvax almost in a daze.
"lets get to the market then,I can usually get a good price with them since I get items from their stall alot..well my servants do..when we have to stock the food pantry...I can get about twenty of them,that good for you right now Corvax?''
He peered over his shoulder a malevolent almost maniacal look in his eyes even though he seemed calm as he could be his voice hadn't even changed even though the matter of how much this had bothered him,it seemed he was rather well at hiding any apparent emotion or thought that came to dishevel his quiet mind...Adio shoved his hands in his pockets in a casual manner his clothing back to his Kabuki-rock inspired attire,his hair back to the raven black varying length..his eyes back to the clouded crimson and his body back to his correct height,age look..it seemed shape shifting wasn't anything new to him,he could change into anyone he'd seen before or even saw a picture of..Shouten? He used to be real yes..but the orphanage when it burnt down alot of the orphans had gone with it including Shouten who had been abandoned by his parents at the orphanage nearly 25 years ago...The tale with the boy was that the family saw him as a black sheep,the name Shouten meant death and the mother that had abandoned him named him in such of a manner,wishing the worst upon such a devil eyed child..So if Yachimaru decided to blab about his new friend they'd think Yachimaru had a vivid imagination,a invisible friend or if the boy had really been visited by an angel to console him during his mother's death...
Adio's boots thudded against the ground softly as they walked along toward the market that seemed only a block down the road..Some people passing seemed to mutter obscenity's about Adio,about his long dead parents and Adio's lunatic brother Demetrius who had slaughtered their parents out of jealousy of Adio..They only seemed to question the very presence of Adio..many of the younger children seemed to love him though considering him a good person and the wildly known information on his band is what influenced alot of the younger kids-teens opinion on Adio..The parents and Elders not so much..
The elders and parents had tryed to kill him before,beating him,whipping him,pelting him with stones where they had tied him up in the middle of town..Adio of course had gotten away deafly scared of many of the people in the town but coveting the children and teenagers considering them distant friends,fans just like the other people who knew about his band...He kept quiet about the deathnote while they were walking into the open market,knowing how many people would be there of course Corvax would look just like a tag along friend to the lot of them Adio knew that much...He'd look up toward the diffrent stalls,a colorful banner of fruit and vegetables hung over one.
"There it is...alot of the shops are just opening..''
He told Corvax as he took them to the stall the owner standing up from his chair.
Well now,this is a new sight those eejits of yours are so quiet,did you need anything master Adio,how have you been?
Unlike alot of the older people in town there was a few percent of newer residents that Adio was quite fond of and considered them people he could trust.
"heh,well they don't usually talk alot Yagito..special ones they are but wonderful helpers..I've been well,yourself?..And oh..i need a big bag of your new shipment of apples..I've heard so much about them..figured you wouldn't disapoint any of your customers...''
Haha,well thank you for the compliment Master Adio!..when you've been in this buisness for so long you just dont see the need to do what the new styled shop runners do to lure in customers,if they know theres quality food here they come back..I hope you enjoy your apples..and I've been decent,the bazaar is slower then usual though but thats fine,alot of the stall runners dont mind including myself,it's apart of our lives when we start down this road of adulthood.
Adio sorta felt bad for even asking,the guy never shut up..Adio smiled politley and nodded.
'' Have a good day then Yagito,you'll continue to have my services down the road I trust you that.''
Yagito smiled and nodded with a wave as Adio took the bag of Fuji apples from the shop keeper,giving him the money he turned from the stall,knowing Corvax was surly following him considering how he seemed to be so eager to get some apples..As they walked back out of the bazaar Adio took one of the apples from the bag holding it out to Corvax,the Fuji apple seemed bigger then a regular apple but was in all the same,it had a richer taste,not so overly sweet and unsatisfying like some apples were.
"Here..Hope you'll like them,they port them in from a valley laid village quite a few miles from here,their supposed to have the best apples.''
Once Corvax took his apple Adio would sling the sack of apples over his bag,19 apples now left in the little rucksack bag.[/align]

So Adio got freaked out by my power? Oh how perfect that was, the little kid didnât know exactly how much power he held at his fingertips.. beyond the Death Note, He had the control over one of the strongest, if not the strongest Shinigami in existence.
âDonât be so afraid of our power, Adioâ¦â
Lips slipping apart to let his tongue perch atop his bottom lip for a moment, was this an insult to Adio? or a gesture of amusement? Only Corvax would know the true nature of his own actions.
The small boy was free from the tyrant mother, even if she beat him near death⦠would the kid Ever really want his mother to be killed by a sole stranger? By someone as careless as Adio?
With the departure of Adio, Corvax had followed behind, as they passed through the building, walking right past the pillar⦠out of sight of peering eyes.. he would make the change into his mortal form, the only way anyone other than Adio could see him. The visage on his face was that of one who had just committed murderâ¦except, he was not the one to blame for what had just taken place before everyone.
The moved from the⦠bar? But now headed to the smell, the glorious smell of red orbs⦠such perfection⦠yet, he thought I would want so many? Why?⦠was it a future bribe? All he really required at the most had been Four. Listening to Adio and the Vender converse until both had stopped flapping gums, no recognition for the Devil? Interesting⦠Yet, not needed, this world was soon to change, be it for the good or the worse.
Eyes looking down at the shiny orb within his hand now⦠apparently he had grabbed the thing under the sheer urge of wanting it, either way⦠he would take a second to bite into the Apple⦠letting the juices flow through his mouth for a moment before swallowing the remaining⦠a soft sigh would be the only thing heard from him before parting his lipsâ¦
âWell, to be completely honestâ¦Adio, this is good, better than most have harvested⦠but by far not The best I have ever tasted⦠the gesture is solid in what you did for me, and I thank you⦠but this style will take a bit to get used to if I am to live on these things while in your world.â

[align=center]Adio looked up at Corvax as they seemed to be walking out of town,maybe toward Adio's manor.
âDonât be so afraid of our power, Adioâ¦â
"It'll take some time to get used to,not everyone is given such a privilege nor are there many accustomed to such a thing."
He said looking back toward the path as they walked along Adio could smell the almost spicy aroma of the apple,a more cinnamon spice not a pepper spice if one would want to get technical...Adio looked back up at Corvax.
"Uh,sorry for not introducing you to the man the villagers are somewhat talkative about..past events that took place..because of me...they arnt used to seeing people with me..I dont usually even take Reita-kun into the market,I dont want them hurting him..''
He bit his lip somewhat,maybe the event that had taken place was what had caused him to become rather uncomfortable around death,let alone dealing such a card for them,for the world?

"You do know there is nearly endless choices of diffrent apples didn't you,Im sorry they arnt the best to your opinion the vendors sell all diffrent kinds,we can get you some diffrent ones next time we come to the market alright,and your welcome.''
No bribes,no furthered gestures of trying to bend the shinigami to his thoughts,he didn't function in that sort of manner.
