"It's time to finish what I started. No mercy will be shown to anyone who opposes my vision."

[Shibai Otsutsuki @LordShibai]

"A new order will be established."

"How you use my power is up to you, Lady Eida. I can only offer you training if you desire it."

“ and yet I don’t expect you’re here to give me a lesson on the correct way to seize it, are you? If you’re so disappointed then take back your relics and free me of them.”

[Shibai Otsutsuki @LordShibai]

The inner conflict within the princess's mind was a good thing for Shibai to take advantage of. He hoped this little scenario would rest the princess's doubts about him.

"Shhh, watch."

The heavy, metal double doors silently opened. The crowd's eyes moved as one to gaze --

[𝒫𝓇𝒾𝓃𝒸𝑒𝓈𝓈 ℛ𝒶𝒾𝓃𝓎 @RubianPrincess]

The Princess already had a sense that something was amiss with Shibai. 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘚𝘩𝘪𝘣𝘢𝘪 𝘴𝘰 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩, 𝘥𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶? That’s all she could hear echoing within her head from Kami. Perhaps he was trying to throw her a hint way back and she was so confused by it all.

Before she could ask anything further, she’d see an entirely different realm before her. She’d see a cathedral like setting with stained glass windows all over the place, accompanied by cold stone walls. It appeared like it was thousands of years old. The atmosphere felt different and heavier. Rainy knew Shibai could change what you saw within seconds and could also make you see what he wanted you to see. He was 𝓸𝓶𝓷𝓲𝓹𝓸𝓽𝓮𝓷𝓽, just like Benzaiten.

Despite them not physically being there, but only their souls, the Princess was able to see the assembly of men in robes and a male bound to the altar, looking as if he were being held captive. 𝓦𝓱𝓸 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓱𝓮𝓵𝓵 𝓲𝓼 𝓽𝓱𝓪𝓽? 𝓦𝓱𝓪𝓽 𝓪𝓻𝓮 𝓽𝓱𝓮𝔂 𝓰𝓸𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓽𝓸 𝓭𝓸 𝓽𝓸 𝓽𝓱𝓲𝓼 𝓶𝓪𝓷? The intentions were dark and sadistic behind this whole thing, she could feel it throughout her entire being. Something bad was about to happen.

“What the hell is this…?”

[Shibai Otsutsuki @LordShibai]

-- color of her eyes changed to red. She looked exactly like Princess Rainy.

"Do you see why I refused to reveal anything about the being to you, princess?" As Shibai was about to explain further, the being repelled their souls back to their physical bodies.

[Shibai Otsutsuki @LordShibai]

"You have not learned how to control it, Lady Eida. You clearly lack the experience."

[𝓔 ỉ ᦔ ꪖ ⋆ ༘✶ ｡˚ @karakamisama]

“ and your DNA causes me nothing but an unnecessary headache. ”

[Shibai Otsutsuki @LordShibai]

"Because it is a pointless battle, and you shall see why soon."

Shibai could read this one like an open book.

[Deadly Curses Dragon King @EnveloperPrison]

He can assume all he wants, but he won't understand all Vritra went through.

"From you? Not at all, from humans? I've seen them wage pointless wars constantly. Yet you call your fight pointless makes zero sense."

[Shibai Otsutsuki @LordShibai]

"Another young lady with my DNA and dojutsu."

[𝓔 ỉ ᦔ ꪖ ⋆ ༘✶ ｡˚ @karakamisama]

This is NOT what she thought today would look like,

[Shibai Otsutsuki @LordShibai]

-- "Princess Rainy, this is Benzaiten's sanctum; only our souls are present here... Now pay attention, you'll soon see the being I have been talking about..."

[Shibai Otsutsuki @LordShibai]

Reading her thoughts, Shibai formulated another wicked plan in his head.

"You're right, Princess. I know what's going on, but for your sake... This being is far too dangerous." To earn a bit of whatever trust she had in him, Shibai instantly shifted them to Benzaiten's --

[𝒫𝓇𝒾𝓃𝒸𝑒𝓈𝓈 ℛ𝒶𝒾𝓃𝓎 @RubianPrincess]

Something wasn’t right here. It all felt wrong.

The Princess took a step back from Shibai. Her brows narrowed. The Rubian sensed something 𝓸𝓭𝓭 about the god. His intentions were shifting and not in a good way. Rainy could not only sense energy, but she could detect the intentions of said being as well, regardless of being a mortal or god.

“No. You know what’s going on, you just don’t want to tell me. We are allies, are we not, Shibai or am I mistaken?”

[Shibai Otsutsuki @LordShibai]

-- Sweat glistened off his limp body. He occasionally tugged futilely at his solid leather binds. His hazy, drugged eyes blinked continuously as he tried to comprehend the danger he was in. The robed men paid little attention to him. --
