Gerald jolted awake at the sound of his door getting pounded. He blinked his eyes to get rid of the grogginess and sat up on his bed. He looked to the window and saw that the sun wasn’t even up yet.

“Who the hell comes at this hour” Gerald mumbled in annoyance. He let out a yawn as the person at the door continued to bang against the door. Blearily he turned to the lantern by the bed, he flicked it on.

As he recovered from partial blindness due to the sudden light, the banging on the door grew louder. “Yeah, yeah hold on!” The hunter called out, agitated he picked up the lantern and slowly walked towards the door.

Bumping in a few items along the way, Gerald reached the door and let out another yawn. He reached for the doorknob as the person on the other side banged against it again. “You might wanna step back” Gerald coughed and shook his head “I’m opening the door.”

He was vaguely aware of the sound of metal plates as he pushed the door open. As soon as the door was open a broadsword, on that shone in the darkness, was immediately pointed at his throat. The combination of the glowing blade as well as a blade being pointed at him washed away all of his grogginess.

In his alert state he saw who his visitor. He was clad in full metal plate armour, though it was much more sleeker than the ones he had seen before. A scabbard hung by his waist, the sheathe was held by a strap on the metal pants that ended with a pair of plain greaves. The visitor was also wearing a helmet, complete with a visor to conceal his facial features. Besides the faint glowing of the armour the only thing that was noticeable about the visitor was the Order crest that was etched on his right breastplate and the top of his visor.

This man was a knight of Order.

“I found you monster lover” he growled out, his voice slightly muffled by the steel visor in his face. Gerald took a step back at the voice, his eyes widening. “You meet you end today scum” there was a trace of amusement in his voice as he declared that threat.

Gerald could only find two words appropriate for this situation “Oh shit.”

[Scene]

Far from the shack of the hunter, standing at the very edge of the forest that Gerald hunted in was a monster, a Demon. She wore the usual attire for a Demon, ‘armour’ that was basically a cover for her nipples and crotch that were connected by two lines with a pair of black thigh high boots along with a pair of gauntlets of the same colour. Both of them were ridiculously ornate with devil gems etched into them. On the ring finger of her left was a ring, it was plain contrasting heavily with the gauntlet, save for the small gem on the top.

Behind her was a pair of demonic wings, black and leathery with a small spike on the top of both wings. Their usual monstrous beauty was marred by a thin scar that ran down the left wing from the cracked spike all the way down. Though the scar did nothing to hinder the wing’s movement.

The Demon smiled as she peered past the dark trees, her red eyes shining with mirth. As if she was a cat that had just caught the mouse that had been running from her. Without hesitation she walked right into the forest, her hips swaying from side to side as she could barely hold back her excitement. The trees and flowers around her twisted as her demonic magic touched them.

[Scene]

“No more” Gerald gasped out “P-please stop.” The hunter hugged his body tighter as he lied on the floor of his own shack.

Looming over him was the knight, he has his arms crossed over his chest and beneath his helm he was grinning. “What should I?” He leaned down to looked at Gerald in his eyes.

<p class="MsoNormal">In response the hunter backed away and hugged his body even tighter “Why are you doing this?”

<p class="MsoNormal">If the knights grin could get wider, it would have reached his ears when he heard the question. Spreading his arms he took a step forward “Because I have every right to!” He lunged forward at the hunter again.

<p class="MsoNormal">[Scene]

<p class="MsoNormal">The Demon traced one of her fingers across one of the many trees, admiring the natural beauty that the gods had carved into the world. Not a second later the tree curled inward and was quickly replaced by a plant that would have belonged more in the demon realm.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Oh where are you~?” The Demon sang out releasing her hold on the tree. She didn’t notice the corrupted plant twitch before the new demonic skin peeled off, she was already far ahead when the tree returned to its original shape.

<p class="MsoNormal">Oblivious to the reformation the Demon merely continued to move forward, one of her eyes giving the ring on her finger a lusty smile.

<p class="MsoNormal">[Scene]

<p class="MsoNormal">The knight grunted when Gerald suddenly lunged forward and tackled him to the floor.

<p class="MsoNormal">Smirking victoriously the hunter held up his hands “Did you really think I would just take it sitting down?!” Both hand came down.

<p class="MsoNormal">The knight barely managed to stop them with his own. Even with the gauntlets holding him back Gerald merely pushed harder.

<p class="MsoNormal">“How are you so strong?!!” The knight demanded.

<p class="MsoNormal">Gerald grinned and looked straight into the eyes of the knight through his visor “Wouldn’t you like to know?” He taunted.

<p class="MsoNormal">His hands broke free from the knight’s grasp, and reached towards his neck. He gasped as the fingers did their work.

<p class="MsoNormal">[Scene]

<p class="MsoNormal">The Demon twirled around her arms spread out wide. Wherever she twirled the grass turned purple and flowers turned perverse. Small purple specks were flung in every direction, each little piece made the area more and more demonic in nature.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Dear would be soooo pleased” she sang to herself, she stopped her twirling to tap one of the trees with a solid ‘thump’. She was already moving to the next when the plant curled inwards.

<p class="MsoNormal">“It’s been so long, I wonder if he still remembers what our house looks like?” The Demon stopped for a moment, placing a finger under her chin before she shrugged. Banishing the thought away she skipped forward, once again unaware of her changes being reverted as soon as she was out of sight.

<p class="MsoNormal">[Scene]

<p class="MsoNormal"> “Did’ja really think that I would lose to you?” The knight asked rhetorically holding the hunter in an arm lock. “Cause you were wrong!” He declared.

<p class="MsoNormal">Gerald futilely pounded his fist against the arm holding him. His fist grew faster when he saw the other arm reached for his head “No stop, STOP” He pleaded in panic “Don’t do it, I beg of you please don’t DO IT!!” He shouted in fear.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Too late” The knight grinned. Without mercy the knight planted the fist of his free hand onto the hunter’s white hair and ruffled it as roughly as he could. “That’s what you get monster lover!!” The knight laughed out loud.

<p class="MsoNormal">Gerald let out a scream “Argh, stop STOP!!” His arms started flailing wildly as the knight continued to noogie him. Said knight paid no attention and only intensified in his treatment of the hunter.

<p class="MsoNormal">After a few seconds the knight stopped and released Gerald from his grip. The hunter gladly took the chance and backed away from the armoured man, quickly he raised his hand to his head and pouted “Oliveeeeeer, that hurts” he whined out. Gently he rubbed the spot where the knight had decided to use his fist on.

<p class="MsoNormal">An amused laugh was his reply, Oliver reached for his helmet and took it off revealing his face. The man had a striking resemblance to the hunter from, his white hair, to his black eyes. Though there were subtle differences, like how the man’s face had a few stress lines and how his hair seemed whiter than Gerald’s. Nonetheless it could be easy to mistake these two for one another.

<p class="MsoNormal">“On come Rald don’t be such a baby” Oliver mocked half-heartedly “You’ve probably handled rougher than that, If not then I’ll just have to train you again.” The knight spoke easily to the man he had just declared a monster lover.

<p class="MsoNormal">Gerald froze for a moment, he quick flashed an uncertain gaze at the older white-head “Y-you would really do that to me a-again, would you?” He asked nervously. When the man smiled wider he quickly took a step back “P-please tell me you wouldn’t, I mean I’m your brother after all.”

<p class="MsoNormal">“And that would just make me train you even harder” Oliver replied without missing a beat. Gerald hung his head down defectively prompting another laugh from the knight “Ah don’t worry Rald, I’m just playing with ya” he stated casually.

<p class="MsoNormal">“I know, just dark memories are resurfacing” Gerald said in a dark tone “Memories of training and sweat and a fatigued body too tired to do anything.” The hunter actually sobbed.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Yeah” Oliver nodded “Just like that time with Alexi-”

<p class="MsoNormal">“I DON’T WANNA REMEMBER!!!”

<p class="MsoNormal">[Scene]

<p class="MsoNormal">The mushy soil of the forest was replaced by sand as the Demon finally stepped out of the forest. She closed her eyes as a small breeze greeted her as soon as she stepped onto the beach.

<p class="MsoNormal">Her eyes snapped opened as looked around, it was bare even from leaves and branches that should’ve been blown by the winds. She shrugged, who was her to question nature for all she knew nature was in the hands of a stubborn goddess that just didn’t understand how wonderful being a monster was.

<p class="MsoNormal">She stepped towards the water and dipped her foot into it. Before her foot even touched it the demonic magic in the water quickly warmed to her liking. When her big toe dipped the surface she smiled as lukewarm water met her appendage, instead of chilling frost as it should have been. Poseidon was a smart one to abandoned that stuffy Chief God.

<p class="MsoNormal">She turned away from the water losing all interest as she remembered what she was here for. With a simple flick of her finger the sand glowed purple for a scant few moments, the glow followed her as she walked alongside the beach.

<p class="MsoNormal">To others it looked like she was going into random directions, to her she was following the ever present link she had to her dear dear husband. She remember how they met, he was on the floor gasping for breath, she remembered how he was human. The fact that he was still human even while being in her mistress’ great kingdom was maddening that she was immediately drawn to him.

<p class="MsoNormal">He looked to be the man who would be willing to ask for demands, a person who smile when he would order you to do deeds that you would never dream of doing. She offered him her contract, the only one she would give and he accepted.

<p class="MsoNormal">The nights they spent together was amplified by just how much he gave her, it was as if he was pouring his mana into her without even the need of sex.

<p class="MsoNormal">They still did it, it would be devastating for her if she even thought about merely accepting his delicious mana without it. After all her contract to him had promised him pleasures unheard, and she made sure she delivered.

<p class="MsoNormal">Still it came to a shock when he suddenly disappeared one day, gone from the side of her bed and not a single piece of his left. Well he left any and all clothing she had bought for him and only took the stuff before he became an incubus, the broken pike he kept insisting in carrying and same spare armour that paled in comparison to the master-pieces she had acquired to his desires.

<p class="MsoNormal">Normally she would’ve followed him and simply take him back, perhaps she could persuade the monsters that could have tempted her adorable husband to leave her side to join them. But one day he just vanished from her senses, the link from their coitus should have remained till the end of times, and it had vanished. At least that’s what she thought at first, then she realised it was simple suppressed.

<p class="MsoNormal">It annoyed her that her abilities to pinpoint where her husband had been degraded from his exact location to a vague wide area, even her contract did nothing to help. Luckily it didn’t suppress it for long as soon she felt the delicious mana of her husband grow day by day.

<p class="MsoNormal">Today was the greatest chance to get him, she could already see him. His white hair and playful smile. She was ecstatic to see him ag-

<p class="MsoNormal">She stopped in her tracks as the link that she was just following suddenly vanished. As in like it wasn’t even there. For a moment a look of utter confusion replaced her once happy face, before it contorted into an ugly scowl that was then followed by a face that screamed out her rage to the heavens.

<p class="MsoNormal">[Scene]

<p class="MsoNormal">Gerlad heaved once more, he was leaning over his sink where the purple sludge was slowly but surely going down the drain. The hunter let out another heave and was rewarded for his efforts. More volumes of the sludge poured out of his mouth and went into the sink.

<p class="MsoNormal">Behind him Oliver looked on with worry, his arms crossed over his chest as he watched his brother expel the pent up demonic energy inside him. His eyes went to the vial that he had giving to his younger brother, it was a plain vial that did not have any intricate designs to show off its content. Instead the presences it exuded was enough, as evident by the simple drop that was left. It fell from the mouth of the vial and dropped onto a large clump of the sludge, the first one that his brother had expelled, and watched as it dissolved the sludge without any effort.

<p class="MsoNormal">Gerald let out one more heave, prompting the knight to return his gaze to his brother. After a while Gerald had ceased his heaving and merely leaned over his sink and began panting in exhaustion. His cheek bulged out and he spat out a large wad of water into the sink. The hunter watched with morbid fascination as the water dissolved the sludge like there was no tomorrow.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Felt better there little bro?” Oliver asked.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Y-ye-yeah” Gerald wiped his mouth with the back of his hand as he pushed away from the sink. His feet slipped under him and would’ve met with the floor of the shack, if it wasn’t for Oliver’s quick reaction. “S-sssorry big bro, that stuff you gave is as heavy as last time” Gerald breathed out, still out of breath from the heaving from before.

<p class="MsoNormal">Gently Oliver patted him on the head and smiled, purposely ignoring the small glare he sent over his shoulder.

<p class="MsoNormal">Their moment was interrupted by a knock on the door.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Can you get that? I’m still feeling woozy” Gerald slurred out.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Do you need to ask.” Gently leaning his brother on the sink the knight went towards the door. “Who is it?” Oliver reached for the doorknob and pulled it open revealing the small figure by the door.

<p class="MsoNormal">The Sahuagin tilted her head at the sight of the unknown man “Greetings older looking Gerald” she spoke in such a cold tone that Oliver found himself shivering at it. The monster paid his reaction no mind as she tried to look past him “Is Gerald awake?”

<p class="MsoNormal">Oliver raised an eyebrow before he smiled “Hey little bro you have a guest looking for you” he called over his shoulder. His eyes went to the aquatic features that she had and smirked “Though I seem to think her intentions might be a bit fishy.”

<p class="MsoNormal">“I swear to Chief God if Gladys is at the door, I’m going to call you a racist and a bad comedian” Gerald shouted out his reply.

<p class="MsoNormal">[Scene]

<p class="MsoNormal">Pissed. She was pissed. She almost had him, the link was at its strongest and it disappeared. She could’ve followed the beach but that wouldn’t guarantee she would find her husband, he might as well been long gone after doing whatever he did to break their link.

<p class="MsoNormal">“AUGH, what’s wrong with him?!” It really was maddening, she had offered him and given him pleasures unending yet he would so carelessly break their link. She really really needed to found out who was the one responsible for her husband’s actions.

<p class="MsoNormal">Angered and agitated the Demon stormed back into the woods and punched a tree that was in her way. It splintered and was immediately transformed into one of the demon realm trees. The Demon took a deep breath before letting it out with a sigh “Oh well, maybe next time” She casted a forlorn gaze at the ring on her finger before turning away.

<p class="MsoNormal">Right into cloaked man brandishing dual daggers. His face was calm even the presence of a previously angry Demon, it even remained that way when he pointed one of his daggers towards her “Demon of Lescatie, one behalf of the people of Kedai you are stop attempting to convert these woods into a Demon Realm” He spoke with cold professionalism.

<p class="MsoNormal">Her arms crossed underneath her bust and gave the man an unamused glare “And why should I?” She asked.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Lord Alexander has made it clear that this forest is to remain neutral and not corrupted by demonic energy or blessed with heavenly light” The cloaked man answered without missing a beat. “It was the deal that Lord Alexander made with Princess Druella of Lescatie” His voice suddenly lost it’s cold professionalism and just turned cold “If you insist on continuing this attempt of conversion, than I as a Scout of Kedai am allowed to kill you.”

<p class="MsoNormal">The threat announced the Demon met the Scout’s eyes. The Scout did nothing as he awaited the Demon’s response.

<p class="MsoNormal">Then she smiled “Lord Alexander huh?” She purred “Do you think that the kind lord would allow me to ask for assistance?” She batted her eyelashes at the impassive man.

<p class="MsoNormal">“So long as you can avoid corrupted the townspeople while you are there” he retorted. “If you can hold yourself from doing so than you are to send a letter specifically to for his assistance” his eyes lost some of its ice and the warmth of amusement replaced it “Whether he wishes to see you or not, is his decision.”

<p class="MsoNormal">She tried to ignore the insult, really did. The small orb that gathered in her hand was the only show of anger she was going to show to this insufferable man. But she stayed her hand, it wouldn’t do well to sully the name of her Princess “Very well scout” she spat out the word “I will be taking my leave.”

<p class="MsoNormal">As she walked away, her finger went to touch another tree just for the heck of it. The finger nearly came off as a throwing knife embedded itself into the tree bark. She grumbled and kept her hands to her side. “Patience Lilith, patience” She took a deep breath and exhaled once more “If only dear Gerald didn’t run away, doesn’t he know how much I’ve taken care of him?”

<p class="MsoNormal">[Scene]

<p class="MsoNormal">“I see” Oliver commented as soon as Gladys finished her tale, the Sahuagin had taken a seat next to his brother and was currently eating a raw fish. The knight smiled “Well I have to thank you for taking care of my brother.”

<p class="MsoNormal">“I have not provided any care for Gerald, nor does he allow me to” was Gladys’ immediate response, before she took another bite.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Oh really?” Oliver gave his brother a look, one that he ignored as he was giving the Sahuagin a look.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Yes” she nodded “Even when he is injured he does not permit me to get any closer to him even if the injuries are fatal” She didn’t see Oliver lose his carefree look “I suppose it is because I am not his wife as of yet” she finished bluntly.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Again subtle you are not Gladys” Gerald complained.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Eh I respect a bit of bluntness every now and then” was Oliver’s retort.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Thank you older Gerald” Gladys simple stated.

<p class="MsoNormal">'''A/N: Yep big bro Oliver is here, and I can finally expand on Gerald in 'The Past'. Also I'm glad KC made the Demon, made it much more easier for me to use the monster contract thing.'''

<p class="MsoNormal">
