(Takes place after Scorched Feathers) David entered the castle and stood within the dark lobby. "Wow, it's darker than I thought it'd be and I've played the game. Are you sure there's one in here, Ose?" He looked at the book he held in his arms. "I am sure. I have sensed a demon within these castle walls." Ose replied within David's mind. "But I am not sure which of them it is. You should keep your wits about you." "...no offense and I know how dangerous demons can be but... Why is this my problem again?" David asked. While he was always glad to help someone, he didn't like doing such a thing blind. He figured there was more to this than he was being told. 'This is all I will say now. As long as you carry that book, you will be targeted. After all, not many humans can use it well And it let itself be used by you." Ose explained. "Even if you do not actively pursue them, they will find you. And as you said, we demons are dangerous. How many p-" "Okay, okay! There's no need to guilt trip me over this." David sighed. "Just tell me in what direction its in so I can start searching for it." "To the left." David simply facepalmed at the answer. "Now I can't get that song out of my head." "Quite the odd song. I have never head such lyrics before. And what would a simple box have to do with this?" "Just don't ask." David walked up the stairs and went to the left. |

(Takes place after A Journey Into Mystery.) Mary was already in the west wing, having arrived at the castle earlier. She hasn't run into any of the inhabitants yet and was simply looking around. Right now, she had two options. Either go look around at the catacombs or visit the Beast's room. She didn't think the latter was a good idea since that was where he usually keeps his rose. The ninja didn't have long to think as she noticed someone entering the west wing. Unsheathing her tanto, she hid behind a pillar and kept an eye on the person that came in. It appeared to be a guy holding a book. She could see his red hair, his blue eyes, his vest and shirt. In fact, he appeared to be familiar to him. And then she heard his voice. "Malkuth? Is that you?" Mary asked as she walked out from behind the pillar, sheathing her tanto. Now that she was taking a closer look at the guy, she recognized him easily. "I take it you have been affected by the Convergence as well. I admit I did not expect to see you again. Still, it is a relief to see you nonetheless." The ninja let out a sigh, glad to have run into a familiar, friendly face. |

David walked through the west wing, looking around nervously. He didn't know why but he had the feeling that he was being watched. By who and/or where from, he wasn't sure. Still, it made him feel unnerved that he wasn't the only one in the room, not counting the demon that resided in the book he was carrying and is capable of communicating with him telepathically. "Your instincts are correct. We are being watched at this very moment." Ose confirmed. At that moment, someone came out.... and called David by a familiar nickname. Blinking, he took a closer look at the girl that had just appeared. She didn't look like anyone he had met before but her voice sounded familiar. "...Hod? Is that really you?" Now that he was calm, David was sure this was an old friend of his, Mary Delgado. "What's with the outfit? You look like some sort of ninja?" "Is this woman a demon? Because I can sense power within her." "No, she isn't a demon. I can vouch for that." David replied mentally. "Why do you ask? Because I know there aren't demons who dress in such a manner." "She reminds me of a Rakshasa. It also surprises me how many knifes she is carrying." David looked confused. "What do you mean? I only see that tanto that she's carrying." "...Some things are better left a mystery." |

"...Obviously because I am one, Malkuth. Were you distracted with that book in your arms again?" Mary moved closer and lowered her gaze to look at the book. "I have never seen a book like this before. Were did you obtain it?" She attempted to grab the book only to wince as something shocked her hand. "And apparently, I cannot touch your book. Fair enough. So how have you been after all this time, Malkuth?" |

"Oh, I've been good. I mean it's a bummer that I may never go to that school of culinary arts that I've been wanting to go. Still, I did get two meet two protagonists from their own game. I did feel bad when I had to explain one of them about the Realm of Reality but he apparently took it well. And I got this book when the Convergence happened." David explained. He left out some details like who the protagonists were, how he got the book and the fact that he made a pact with a demon after it tried to kill him. He was surprised to see that she couldn't touch the book though. That wasn't something he expected. "Ose! An explanation please." "The book will not allow anyone to touch it but you. As long as it it always in your hands." The leopard demon explained. "And yes, if it leaves your hands, it can be carried. But it still cannot be used until the day you die. So do be careful. You do appear to be easily distracted." "...thanks for the vote of confidence there, old buddy." David sighed. |

"Oh... It appears I was more fortunate than you in having to give such an explanation. I found Iron Man under a pillar back in Twilight Town." Mary explained. "The one with Downey Jr as his actor. I also ran into Sora himself and a man by the name of Greg. ....I do not know what to think of him. Either way, what brings you here?" She looked at her friend, but kept her tanto out. She was still a bit nervous which was understandable. The ninja was standing in a castle that was supposedly abandoned but wasn't. Not to mention the likely hood of being ambushed by Heartless. |

"Wow, cool. Did you get his autograph? Both his and Sora's I mean." David asked. He wasn't surprised at the fact that there were protagonists traveling around. After all, he had met both Pit and Kalas earlier and had an adventure with them. Before he could continue with his questions, the atmosphere of the room changed. He didn't know why but something was telling him that both he and Mary where not alone in the wing anymore. "Hod, keep your guard up. Something's rotten in the state of Denmark." "Behind you!" David reacted to Ose's warning, turning around to see a floating, lit three headed candelabra flying towards him. He managed to move his face to the side, and holding his cross. He casted his Oremus spell, affecting the candelabra, or more specifically, affecting the creature that was holding it as it's form appeared in plain view. "Ose, is that...?" "Yes. It is a demon." The creature happened to be a in the form of a man with a misshapen skull, dreadlocks shown right at the back of its head, wearing a nobleman's clothes, the white sleeves covering its hands as it turned around. "Oh look. Humans. I've been wanting to kill more humans." David paled, recognizing the demon since he had seen it before. How could he not recognize it, having played the games where it always appeared. "That's enough, Bifrons." "A cheeky human. Maybe I should show...." Lowering its head, Bifrons stared at the book David was holding. He then looked back up at the latter. He alternated his view between the book and David one more time. "You?! You're the new owner of that book?! How insulting. Has the standards of my fellow been set so low?" "Oh, you know about it. Then will y-" "No. I refuse to make a pact with you! In fact, maybe I'll burn you to ashes! Maragi!" Bifrons waved the candelabra, sending a wave of fire that hit both David and Mary. The demon then charged at the former and started to swing the candelabra down at him. David rolled to the right first then back to the left then back and forth. "He is disregarding the rules that have been set forth since our first summoning!" "Hey. You're disregarding the r-" "I care not for the rules that whichever of my fellows you've already bound to your services they bring up. I will not be bound to a human again. I will be free!" Bifrons grabbed David by the vest and threw him against the wall. Aiming the flames of the candelabra, he thrusted. |

"Always." Mary replied. Unfortunately, she had still been caught off-guard as a candelabra made to attack her friend. But David was able to repel it with a spell, causing the attacker's true form to come into view. It was a creature unlike anything she had seen before. Its bizarre appearance and behavior made her wary of it. Except David began speaking with the creature, calling it by the name Bifrons. The latter stared at former for a few moments before lashing out after speaking about the book her friend was carrying and a pact of sorts. She didn't have much time to react as the apparition, Bifrons used a fire spell that hit both her and David. But the ninja found herself being ignored as the creature focused on her friend. Well, she was about to show it what a mistake it made in doing so. Getting up, she walked over to the creature and grabbed the wrist of the hand holding the candelabra then twisted it. Having gotten it's attention, she hit it with the butt of her tanto before stabbing it on the back then kneed it on the stomach and threw the creature away, pulling out her weapon in the process. She then threw two kunai knives at it for good measure. "Stay close, Malkuth. I do not believe that will stop it for long." Mary said, keeping in between David and the apparition, Bifrons. She was preparing herself for its next move. |

David watched as Mary gave a beatdown to the demon. "Wow, I'm impressed, Hod. But you're right. I think we should move to a bigger area with less flammable materials. Now." Grabbing Mary's hand, he lead her out into the foyer. Looking behind him, he noticed that Bifrons was floating after the two, candelabra lit with the flames burning brightly. "To the courtyard!" "Accursed humans! You will know your place and burn at my knees!" Bifrons yelled as he followed the two, casting its Maragi spell at them. David was able to push the door open with Mary's help and jump clear of the fire spell. With the open space, he figured the demon wouldn't have the advantage of hurting them but it went to ways since it could now dodge. However, he was optimistic of his chances. "I just need to distract it so Mary can take an opening. My only offensive spell is weak and for groups of enemies." With that, he began waving his arms. "Hey, Bifrons! Your... your mother smelt of elderberries!" While it wasn't a very good insult... In fact it was very bad but it did the job. For the demon roared and floated straight towards David and thrust the candelabra forward. |

"...Well, that was a very unique insult if I have ever heard one, Malkuth." Mary commented in a deadpanned tone. Still, when David managed to get the attention of the creature, she acted. The ninja threw two shuriken that hit the back of its head, disorienting it enough that its attack on her friend missed. Just as the creature, Bifrons began recovering, she ran towards it, thrusting the palm of her left hand forward, smoke emanating from it as she muttered. "Volcanic Ash." Mary fired a blast of ashes into the being's face. But it's head being a skeleton meant that it didn't have eyes to be blinded with. Still, she allowed herself a smirk once she heard the satisfying sound of the creature coughing, no words coming out of its mouth. Mary then went on the attack, slashing at the creature's face with her tanto then kicking it on the chest, away from David. |

David watched as Bifrons started to cough. That was an odd sight, considering the latter was a demon. He figured Mary had used a spell to incapacitate it. This meant it could only attack physically and with his magic, he had an advantage, especially his Oremus spell which had an area of effect. "Ready to give up, Bifrons?" The demon's response was to aim the candelabra and try using its Maragi spell. A few seconds passed and nothing happened, except it's constant coughing. While it couldn't shriek and it's head was a skull of sorts, his body language said everything. Bifrons was furious. The demon charged at David again, hoping to beat him with the candelabra. But this time, David was ready. He casted his Oremus spell, dealing minor damage to the demon and pushing it back. He repeated for every time it charged at him until he was almost out of magic. "Just stop. We have you outnumbered." Bifrons glared at the young man. He readied himself as he reared his candelabra back... then ran away. "We'll... meet... again..." The demon managed to say in between coughs. "Hey, wait! Come back!" "Stop! We have company." Ose yelled out. David stopped as he watched seven Shadow Heartless pop out from the ground. He wasn't happy at the fact that they appeared when they had Bifrons on the rope. Still, the Shadows began surrounding him and tried to pounce him. David had no choice but to use his last remaining magic on an Oremus to hurt them. But now he was out of magic and defenseless due to lacking weapons of any sort. "Ose, I could use some help here." "Open the book and call upon me" David simply did what he asked and did so, also dramatically pointing at the Shadows in front of him. "Ose!" He saw a transparent image of the leopard demon above him, motioning his hand towards the three Heartless in front of him. The Shadows squirmed as their shapes were changed into the form of small mice. They still had the Heartless characteristics, bodies completely black and yellow eyes. David thought for a moment that they were cute. But then remembered what they were as he closed the book then stomped on the mice, all three of them still confused. "Now to deal with-" "I would not recommend it. You can only use me once in each battle since it takes a significant amount of energy to do so. Also, I can only poly-morph creatures that are weaker than you. And humans are a bit more difficult than monsters and animals. The same can be said of demons." "Oh now you tell me." David sighed. There were still four Shadows to go. he hoped Mary would take care of them. |

Mary frowned as the creature ran away. She would've pursued after it but then Heartless appeared. The ninja momentarily wondered if the creature had summoned the Shadows but shook herself out of her thoughts once she saw them going after David. Seeing his spell buy her some time, she charged towards the Heartless. But then she saw a transparent image above David and three of the Shadows were somehow transformed into mice. Still, Mary couldn't let herself be distracted, instead using her Smokescreen spell to cover the area. She threw out two shuriken at the farthest two Shadows. Unsheathing her tanto and taking out a kunai knife, she cut down the two closest Shadows. With the battle over, Mary sheathed her weapons and turned to look at David. "We are safe for now. But now I believe I have questions you need to answer." |

David watched as Mary dealt with the Shadows in a very efficient manner. In his opinion, she had certainly earned the title of ninja. But as soon as she was done, she gave him that look. How could he forget it since he always saw her use it on her brother. David wasn't subjected to it as much but he knew it meant she wanted answers now. He gulped, mostly nervous about how he was going to explain things. He could lie but immediately struck that out of his thoughts. So David did the first thing that came to mind. "Look! An obvious distraction!" He yelled while pointing behind the ninja and immediately ran back into the castle. David knew that it wasn't a smart thing to do and that Mary would be angry with him, especially if they ever saw each other again. Taking a turn to the right, he dove right into the Save Point and appeared in his ship. Getting back up, David went to the cockpit and got the heck out of there. He let out a sigh of relief. "Safe. For now." "Was this necessary?" Ose asked. "Yeah. But only for now. I can't hide this forever." David explained. "But I can at least find a way to explain it to them without them getting angry at me. And also without any overreaction in their part. Frankl, I just want some time to think these things through and register what just happened." "Understood." With the conversation done, the ship flew to it's next destination. |

Mary blinked and turned her head to look at the direction where David pointed. But half a second later, she registered the words he said and turned her head back, only to see him running away as she gave chase. "Malkuth! Come back here!!" The ninja managed to catch up to him inside, only to see him run into the room on the right. By the time she ran in, he was gone. Mary frowned as she got into the Save Point, returning to her ship. She wasn't happy that David chose to run instead of being honest with her. The ninja made a note to give him a talking to he will never forget the next time she saw him. |
