Whilst the cats away...

Regardless of Jacks current state of doing things up on Terra one cannot expect time to simply stall. Jack was looking for power in his attempts to rally against the might of the glutton demon. Yet in doing so he had left his realm for the most part unprotected. Left with only the denizens of fear sloth and rage to keep the tide of chaos at bay. But things were beginning to worsen whether or not they liked to admit it. Jonah the leader of fear had been keeping a cap on the thralls of hunger and their master from reaching too far from their underground retreat into the parts of the null plains that were now known as “ Pride’s bastion”. But even the powers of Jonah would not be enough to completely block everything. They needed Jack to return to hell. And they needed it quickly. When he first left things had been relatively calm. They had after all expected the demon of pride and odd “ keeper of the peace” in the demonic realm to return. But thus far there were no signs of his coming and things were beginning to worry his allies.

Word had came that his alliance with the matriarch demon of the higher plains was going well and they had built an outpost. A sort of ambassadorial spot on the earth. And that Jack was now using it to conduct the experiments into blood magic that he could not do on earth. Such things were worth exploring even if Jonah and the other did not agree with these of such foul parasitic magic’s. They could not deny that it held power, And power was just what they were going to need if they were going to defeat this unstoppable tide of...greater darkness. To stop a greater evil with a lesser one. To top an omnicidal force, with a mere genocidal one. But whatever powers he was gaining, they hoped that he would gain them quickly and return. For things could not be held back for much longer.

It had been two weeks since Jack had left on his little trek of the human world and ever since then it seemed as if some sort of viel had lifted upon this area, as if by some strange power Jacks leaving had removed a kind of viel that had kept these places from attack. IN the beginning it had been light, hunger thralls as usual pressing upon the borders of their lands,

they had kept them back. But it seemed that it was one night in particular that changed it all. In one singular night everything changed, an attack of hunger thralls and seemingly mad demons. Pushed forward and broke that vanguardwhich had been keeping theselands from invasion by the forces of hunger. Ceila insisted that the demons aiding the thralls of hunger were not madness demons as crazed as they were. But somehow Jonha did not trust that angelic bitter sweet face of hrs.Jack had always warned him to watch her. To know that she had some kind of alternative motive behind everything. That he hadn’t quite figured out. Jonah’s mind was just as probing as Jacks and yet even he could not figure out the true motivations and drives behind the works of Ceila. Regardless now for Jonah it was less of a defensive fight and more of an offensive one. He had been taking to the fields recently in an attempt to retake and control the areas that hunger had taken from them, and each piece of land did not come without its own cost. And Jonmah was beginning to get tired of paying that cost. There was no way out. No way to get a message to Jack. All they had to do was wait. And hope that the commander of the forces of hunger. Did not decide to show himself.
