 "*sigh* when I fell I landed here, & soon after that a Devil approached me, I tried to run inside as I could no longer do much, but he beat me there, and threatened to kill me unless I made pact with a him, I wanted to live. So here I am soulless and mortal."

 I could help you out with that.

 "Aagh! who's there?" he says out loud.

 Atemos drops down from the rafters infront of him, smiling cheekily. “Sorry bout that. Got used to telepathically talking.”

 "Huh. You must be close to finishing by now, then."

 Penny chuckles "i hope"

 She shrugged. "You have this much done, at least it looks good."

 "Why thank you very much" she said and grinned

 She just nodded. "You should probably think of a better name than XYZ, though."

 "Excuse meh! XYZ is better then ABC" she said

 *Okay so... there has been a bit of a timeskip. Frathian went and did what he did, summoned Krathian back from the plane of Mirrors, and ran off into the wide world without a word.*

Krathian walks into the tavern, slamming open the door and laughing heartily with glee. His stay in the glass planes has changed him a bit. He looks a year or so younger and tattoos cover his arms and neck, which for once are not stuffed into his trench coat. However, the black eye tattoo that marked his enslavement to a dark entity is gone. He wears a black, button-down shirt with the sleeves rolled up, as well as nice black dress pants with suspenders. His trademark hat remains perched on his black hair. Even the eye on his hand sparkles with delight as Krathian walks into the beloved tavern. Q'ilbrith isn't on his familiar perch on Krathians shoulder. Instead, a black-skinned mindflayer with wide white eyes walks into the tavern. Apparently he too has changed. "Somebody get me a Scotch," He shouts happily, slamming a small bag on the bar "I been exiled to a bland plane for thirty days with nothing to eat or drink but stale air!" 

The now-humanoid... ish Q'ilbrith is equally excited. "Hello Tavern people, we are home for good. Is much excitement!"

 Tevelin is very happy. "YES! Perfect timing Q'ilbrith and Krathian, I'm having a musical competition today! Oh yeah, and I'm eight years younger. It's been a long month..."

*AHHHHHHH i got a good idea for Allison but.... its the ending of Allison*

---

 

Allison stood in the center of the iron desert. Though it might not be seen by the naked eye, around her was a circle made of crushed obsidian and salt. She narrowed her eyes as she felt the hot air of the desert wisp around.

“This is sad, even for you” a voice called out.

“Then you would know your stupidity for entering the circle” she said, glancing to her side. Ezekiel shape was beside her, Tall and sludge like.

“I suppose you could call me stupid, but you completed the spell with yourself inside the circle. You can’t leave it either.” He said with a sinister chuckle.

“I know, I did on purpose…… loose that sickly form of yours Ezekiel, it isn’t you.” She said, eyes burning with a slight hatred.

“Very well” he said and did a small bow. His body seem to grotesquely grow till it was 10 feet high. He smashed his mighty clawed hands into the earth and snarled, his millions of mouths slobbering and gnashing in eternal hunger. Large sinewy bat wings unfolded behind and gently rocked in the desert wind. He lowers his huge head as a single red eye opens from underneath his sludge like skin. He chuckled “Now what is this about Allison”.

“You will leave Krathian alone” she said and stood in front of Ezekiel unafraid “Call off your deal with him and allow him the freedom from your grasp.”

“And you expect me to just say yes? He owes me” Ezekiel snarled, blinking his huge eye.

“I will allow you my soul if you do so” she said and stared right back at the huge fiend.

Ezekiel mouths grew into wide grins “Ah, so your done being selfish and watching others suffer for you.” He hissed “Finally becoming brave”

She nodded “Finally becoming brave” she repeated.

Ezekiel grinned again as he picked her up in his massive, clawed hand. “Very well” he hissed for the last time.

Allison closed her eyes as Ezekiel grip tightened around her, crushing her in his fist. Allison didn’t weep, didn’t beg, didn’t cry. She just simply kept quiet and let Ezekiel do what he was going to do. She felt an acute lack of air in her lungs as she began cough blood. She could feel all her bones snapping as she grew closer to death.

Ezekiel chuckled and dropped her on the ground. “Finally, I have your so-“he said but stopped in midsentence “W-where is your soul! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE ALLISON VANDERGUARD.” He said and began to look panicked.

Allison chuckled and wiped the blood from her eyes. “You are screwed Ezekiel; my soul is someplace else. But because of our little deal all those years ago, you’re going back to Desmos and getting locked there forever” she said.

Ezekiel cussed something before a large black portal opened beneath him. He gripped and clawed at the earth as it sucked him in “NO NO NO NOOOOOO!” he bellowed as he was sucked into it. It closed like a hungry mouth, leaving no trace of Ezekiel behind.

The Black Rose tattoo on the back of Allison’s neck disappeared as if nothing had been there before.

Allison chuckled to herself, but she knew that her small victory was going to be short lived. She stared at the warm desert sky above her as she hummed to herself. She could feel her senses numbing as she closed her eyes and passed away there, on the orange dirt ground.

 A note appears for both Krathian, Enethia, And Spawn

 

Krathian

Hello love.

I have gone off and most likely done something incredibly stupid. I am sorry. I decided i needed to become braver and i have done so. I have decided to face Ezekiel. I love your Krathian and i have always had the ideology in mind that others come first and my needs are very last. I guess rethinking that idea is what made me think i needed to stop causing pain and face it myself.

I have left you a book, a book of old lore. You are special Krathian, more special then you can imagine. Your knowledge is unrivaled even by a mind-flayer. Use it for good. 

I love you but i have decided that my time is now.

- Allison

Enethia

I have gone off and done something stupid most likely. I have gone off to face Ezekiel and stop him from entering the materiel plane forever. By doing that i have gave up my body and let him kill me so he leaves this world and Krathian alone. Even in death i am terrified and what lies ahead.

I ask a favor of you. I have left a key for you, the key opens not only my room by a small chest i have left for you. Inside the chest is a map, please use it to find an old friend of mine. Find his sword and awake him.

Thank you for being my friend and look after a small boy named Chase, he need a friend in his corner as well.

-Allison

Spawn

Hello there.

If you receive this, then i have done something stupid. I have gone after Ezekiel and decided to face him head on. I decided i needed to be brave..... and if you are reading this, i am most likely dead. I suppose i am an idiot but i feel i have to face him by myself. No magic, no weapons, just giving up my body so he may be trapped once more in his home plane. 

I have left you a bottle in my garden. It contains memories of the last four days of my life. I would like you to have them, they were the ones i shared with you.

Thank you for being there with me. I wish you eternal happiness.

-Allison
