Katlas seemed to ponder the question, her wings twitching as she carefully decided what to say. "You can say I am here on my master's orders.... however, I cannot speak his name, or give much in terms of who he is. They say speaking his name is a curse that will haunt you and your descendants and companions for generations to come. It is... highly sensitive like that." She said, rubbing her chin with a clawed hand. "However, I can speak for my own story. You can say I am the daughter of the person who forged the Underworld from the darkness that is Nether."
"You mean, the ancient titan Zuldes."m Persephone cut her off. "I have heard much of him, the ancient proprietor of the Abyss, and the origin of the abyssian demons. A creature so large, his wings blotted out the heavens."
Katlas grinned. Atleast someone here knew there stuff. "Yes... but Father wasn't THAT big. I think that's just the exaggeration that's been going down since his sealing. Try... I guess a good 700 meters in length. 2,000 meter wingspan, heavier than a whole lotta stuff here, andyou got it. But as I was saying, I'm one of his daughters, the second oldest child. Surely, you have heard of my older brother, Hyperion?"
"Wait. Hyperion was one of Zuldes's spawn?" Persephone raised an eyebrow. That was news to her. She remembered early on in her stay here, that she had summoned the great dragon for her own purposes, and then brought it under her own control, only for Yukari to send him off somewhere. She hoped Katlas didn't know of that little number... it would be horribly embarrassing if she did."It is something, though... to be brought in the presence of AByssian royalty. While we of Hell may have had our quarrels with the Abyss, we hold no animosity to them."
"Well that is good." Katlas said with a chuckle. "I do have to wonder... why do you have a Celestial with you? Seems a little... weird. That, and she's not much to look at."
"EXCUSE ME?!" Tenshi snapped back, stepping away from Garduk and jabbing a finger into Katlas's chest. "I am royalty as well! I am the Queen of Heaven, Eldest Daughter of the Celestials, and far more worthy to rule than some childish cow dragon! You are as worthy to rule as the demented 8 year old over there!" She pointed over at Ranukada, who was still starring at her with a hungry look.
Even with all this, Minos hadn't moved. She remained at Persephone's side. This new arrival... it wasn't Maluvor. Garduk was here... and so was Ranukada, the most dangerous of the bunch... but where was the ring leader, Zekshi? Now Minos was on full alert, eyes scanning each and every way for the deceiver... Hopefully, she could convince Persephone to leave before HE showed up...

Arc tilted his head. The spawn of a primordial entity? Either the newcomer was far older than she looked or this 'Zuldes' had remained fertile and active far longer than most...

Garduk shrugged. "I'm sure speaking his name wouldn't be that horrible. Fuck, a lot of poor bastards think our names are cursed. It's how the whole "The Three" thing cropped up. Of course there's nothing cursed about it really. Its just the ramblings of superstitious assholes."
He tilted his head as a thought came. "I bet the fucking archangels love to spread that idea around. Might have gotten to your master's name too."

"Well, he still doesn't want his name mentioned, and I will adhere to that." Katlas said. " Than again, your names would be considered cursed based on the damage you cause. After all, the infamy of the Maluvor spreads far and wide." Here Katlas's eyes seemed to darken abit as her voice lowered. "Many consider your kind to be rumors in this day and age... including the young queen in your presence."
That was it. That was the catalyst that set off Minos. Quickly, the Elite Guard tapped Persephone on the shoulder as Persy finally began piecing together the pieces. "Well, I am afraid I must be going now. I have my own matters to attend to, though it was enriching to meet such feared and revered denizens as yourselves." with that, She and Minos turned to leave, the Death God following behind her. "Oh, and Tenshi, be sure to come back whenever you feel like it. I'll be waiting in my room." She felt a little bad for herself, leaving Tenshi there with THE MALUVOR. How had she not picked that up earlier? She must have not heard properly. To think, those were the figures her own mother, a borderline god in her realm, feared above all else... She would have to play very carefully around them, or else risk death.
"Awwwwww" Tenshi pouted, cheeks flaring up in annoyance. "Oh well, atleast she wasn't being mean... Though what on earth does she have to go do that's so important? feed the hydra?"

Garduk sighed and looked down at the floor. "Well now look, you went and scared them away with your stories." He crossed his arms and leaned against a twisted pillar of nether that grew out from the floor like a black tree. "It's hard meeting new people when everyone thinks that you're going to murder them the first chance you get."
He narrowed his eyes. "Although… you seem like the kind of girl who's into that sort of murderous horror."
Ranukada's eyes were still dead set on Tenshi, and with Garduk distracted by his conversation with Katlas, a playful smile began to creep onto her face.

Tenshi realized that Ranukada's gaze was upon her, and she didn't like it. "Back off... I know kung fu!" She warned...
"Well, you can say that. My sort of business is never the pleasant kind... It's just what I have to do. What Father told me and all that." Katlas let a thin smile spread. It was the truth... that was how things in the Abyss ran back when she was there...

There was suddenly a great crash of metal against metal. Arc had taken a single step closer to Ranukada. While he had merely observed her and the others before, now he towered over her, his shadow falling between her and Tenshi like a canyon of deepest black. The cybernetic gladiator leaned his shielded head down and stared at the angelic horror, casting a purple spotlight around her. The jaws of the great warrior gaped slightly and a tremendous absence of noise slide out, like a void from the start of the universe released from Arc's throat in a muted warning that spoke louder than any words.
Take no action against the girl.
Not while I am here.

Shaken off his pillar by Arc's footfall and left stumbling for a footing, Garduk raised his head up to look questioningly at the towering cyborg, before slowly following his gaze until he was looking at Ranukada. "Angel," he sighed, exasperation breaking through his tone. "Could you go five minutes without antagonizing people? Skull Head looks like he's about to stomp on you at any moment."
The girl just looked right back at Arc, tilting her head in curiosity towards his shining purple eyes.

Tenshi let out a sigh of relief at Arc coming to her rescue. She didn't want to have to deal with the strange girl... she just set off too many wrong vibes. " Thank you." She said, showing some form of gratitude to the silent cyborg, and to Garduk to a lesser extent. "But yes, could you please keep that... girl on a leash? I hate dealing with dogs as it is and I don't need a different kind of dog on my case."
"Really now?" Katlas said, hovering in the air around Ranukada. " Because from what I can tell, you are quite the bitch yourself."

Satisfied, for the moment at least, Arc's tensed body relaxed and he looked back at Ranukada with something that was not quite hostility, but not yet neutrality.
The ivory-capped titan also spared a sharp glance for Katlas, though he could not assert that she was wrong either.

"And we wouldn't have it any other way, eh Baby Cakes?" Garduk winked at the Celestial. "It's either take charge and be a bitch, or have people walk all over you the rest of your life. Give others shit, but don't let them give it to you in return."
Ranukada's gaze left Arc's as she resumed to stare at Tenshi with starving eyes.

"I don't care if people call me a bitch. I am who I am, and that is royalty. Sure, it's rude to be called such... unsavory names, mind you, but I am used to it." Tenshi said flatly, doing her best to keep her gaze off of Ranukada. That girl was sending serious chills down her spine. Just... euuuugh.
"Well that is nice and all, but still, you don't seem all that much to me. You are a being of Aether, surrounded by beings of Nether. You really do know how to make friends..." Katlas joked, a slight smile on her face...

If the musculature of his face could allow it, Arc would have smirked beneath his helmet. He was surprised. Tenshi had handled the insult far better than he had expected her to.
Apparently the towering warrior had underestimated the girl. It was not the first time either. And that pleased him.
All potential, no matter how deeply buried, should have its chance to shine.

(OCC: Sheeet. Sorry. Work attacked me.)
"Aww, come now Kat," said Garduk, a frown forming on his face. "Nethereal or Aethereal, now that doesn't define someone. Sure, it… helps, but it ain't the final word. No need to be a bitch about it."
Ranukada, on the other hand, seemed to agree with Katlas. The girl bared her teeth and hissed at Tenshi.

"Oh don't worry... I am just joking around" Katlas purred, twisting herself around in the air to look at Garduk. "Though, I really do think you should keep that girl of yours on a leash. She looks ready to eat the Celestial up... and not in the pleasure way"
