Koal was perplexed. In the short time he had spent under his master, he had learned that weakness was something that you shouldn't show. And the consequences that followed if you did usually killed you. So why did the man striding so confidently in front of him not seem to have any malevolent intentions towards Koal? All of these thoughts ran circles in the young man's head, making him even more confused than he was when he started thinking about it.
" He should have left you to die. Would've taught you a lesson." The rough voice of Seraph scoffed in his head, "I've never before heard of these so-called Sith, but they make a lot of sense. You show weakness. You die." The demon's voice had deepened to a sinister whisper as he continued to speak to Koal. "You would do well to remember that, Koal." The voice went silent The young human began to simmer quietly at the demon's words.
The group quickly ducked behind a large boulder as a dark shape zoomed overhead, trails of ashen clouds trailing behind its hulking figure. It paid the small figures no mind as it prowled its territory for worthy prey. The group slowly stood from behind the wind scoured rock and began to move at a brisk walking pace. The glowing red sky of the Ashen Plains made Koal feel uncomfortable, as if someone was watching him, analyzing him. He reached out for Leah, as she had a knack for calming Koal down.
The black seal on his left hand glowed with a soft blue light, and Leah materialized, her lithe body slowly becoming tangible next to him, already walking. There was no need for words, she just rested a slender, pale hand on his shoulder, letting Koal know that everything would be alright. The gesture felt so familiar... The pieces clicked into place. Leah reminded him of his mother. They even looked similar, though Leah had a more angular face, a trademark feature of demons and she-demons.
She looked troubled, but that was only natural. Their plan against Seraph was very risky, and could end up with them both dead. If this Omni was to be believed, Koal wouldn't stay dead. But Leah... Koal wouldn't let that happen. His surrogate mother would live, and the young man set his jaw, and began to walk faster...

A lake of fire. Well, to be specific, it was really lava. A mile-wide lake of perpetually burning rock and metal. Koal cast his gaze to the lands surrounding the area, the sheer cliffs on the west side of the lake had nothing there, no real vantage points. In the eastern distance, the half-demon thought he caught a glance of a black castle, but the ever moving clouds of smoke and ash blotted it out before he could confirm that theory. He returned his gaze to his quarry. It was very difficult to see, but it was there. The entrance to a sacred grotto. The Scythe of Dawn. It was what they came here for. Though the rest of the group had no idea as to what it was. His master could sense it through his so-called force. It was a weapon of light. Wielded by the Archangel Anake. A weapon for killing a demon...
