The demoness couldn't quite remember when was the last time she invited someone to dine within her castle. Usually such invitation were reserved to demon lord or lady in the realm to which negotiations are held. "Negotiations", though both sides know that often devolves to war and trickery. The Saiyan powered down her transformation, thankfully, the demoness wasn't quite sure there are silverware that could have withstand her strength should she choose to retain them. Settling down on her own chair opposite of the Saiyan, she clapped twice with loud enough volume to be heard throughout the great hall. Shortly after she did just that, a couple demoness of similar humanoid appearance with waitress clothing come in two neat lines as they headed over towards the table, each of them placing the food on the table. Judging by their looks, wings and tail, the Audrey part of the Ace would identify them as succubus. Their power level was nothing to write home about, clearly Kyouka kept them around for this purpose. Ace's attention turned towards the food which was served, a mixed combination of Earth culinary dishes though it appeared Kyouka's waitress had also prepared food of demon realm origin. The contrast between the dishes from both world couldn't be anymore different, with some of the food from demon realm in particular looked a bit grotesque in appearance. The major difference between them does not end there, while the earth dishes were more pleasant in taste, the ones from demon realm actually restored much more energy in comparison. "Go ahead and help yourself." the demoness indicate towards her servants which part of the meal she wanted as well so they may serve them on her plate directly while another pour wine on her glass before moving to Ace's side in case she wanted to drink herself. "Now then, may I ask for the reason for why you came into this realm? Perhaps I can arrange something to meet your needs....at a price of cost." the demoness sips the wine slightly before she licked her own lips. Cipher | 345 Total words: 9793. |

Today worked out well for the Saiyan android hybrid. She fought, she obtained victory, and now an attractive demon decided to feed her on top of that. The aspect of her calling herself Cipher considered the level of might Ace sat at to be the true liberating power she always sought. Things tended to just work out for you when you became strong enough. Some people considered money to be everything, some people felt love reigned above all, but at least half of Ace valued power more than anything else. Become strong enough and you access every other component of life whenever and however much you wanted. While listening to the duo of sharp claps, Ace tucked her black and white hair behind her ear. Her heterochromatic eyes only left the woman once to heed the servants she summoned with the gesture. Having studied deeply into demonology in pursuit of power, the part of Ace dubbed Cipher also possessed knowledge on the entity called a succubus. She considered them livestock for the universe’s beasts to devour. Consumption could allude to the literal sense, but she often meant it in a metaphorical way. They provided a service to those with more power than themselves. When regarding the culinary choices, Ace made an inward remark about the unfamiliar dishes. On top of heeding their grotesque appearance, she noticed it emanating an eerie power as though it were ripe with energy. Her keen senses were unable to notice any insidious magic capable of harming her. Tilting her head to the side, uncertainty filled her eyes but she decided to consume everything regardless of taste. Since she felt taxed by existing, eating food capable of replenishing vigour helped keep her as a single entity. When one servant offered wine, the android nodded. She loved her passions. “To tell you the truth,” Ace differed from Cipher with how she ate. Equipped with a fork and knife, she showed sophistication when cutting into and taking bites of her meal. Her tail playfully coiled around the back of the chair while she kept Kyouka in her sights. “It was nothing more than a test of power, very distinct from a show of power. You could say that I am a new being, created from the fusion of two other beings. And I was eager to determine just how vast my power is.” Even though she took bites of demonic food that looked downright Lovecraftian, she seemed to fare well. Her resolute composure illustrated enjoyment than anything else.

Intriguing. When the Saiyan revealed herself to be a fusion rather than an original entity, the demoness's eyes drifted towards being's ears from which two potara earrings were attached. Her smile grew even wider at this, she had heard the legend of the potara's earrings of course but to see one that can rival hers made her all the more interested in this being. Neither the food nor the drinks were spiked for the demoness see no reason to gain from poisoning her. The way that Ace had helped herself into her food pleases her as well, unlike most Saiyans who would gluttonly dig in like a pig. Placing her own glass of wine on the table, she picked up her own silverware and help herself with some of her own food she served. The succubi, after serving the food would stand in the background quiet as a mouse yet attentive as a hawk as they wait for their next order. "And quite vast it is. If I didn't know any better I would have thought you're a demon lord yourself." Kyouka chuckled slightly as she looked at her with intense expression. Something stirred within her, never in a hundred years had she seen someone who was so desirable in so many ways. Her brain began to formulate a way to make this being completely hers. "I am in search for a capable partner who would help me gain the fruit of might. Doing so would require me to wage war against other demon lords within the region and as capable as I currently am, I'm ill prepared to take them all by myself." Her tone which was serious then changed to slightly sultry as she look at Ace in the eyes. "Help me do so and should you desire for worthy opponent, it can be fulfill rather easily. And if it's carnal desire you wish to be sated, well then. You can see I have more than enough succubus for that." the demoness tilted her head slightly to the waitress on standby around them.

Hearing the woman’s observation, Ace chuckled. The prospect of being a demon lord sounded alluring. People to serve your every whim and desire and the power to eradicate anybody who disobeyed the chain of command. She enjoyed how pure and anarchical the demon realm remained. If one desired to rule over underlings, nobody batted an eye. They accepted the natural order without complaint or protesting those ways. In turn, people like Kyouka enjoyed a surplus of power without needing to fight off those with differing opinions. Even the ignorant knew why demons cultivated large amounts of power with their way of living. “The title does have a nice ring to it. Dare I say even a tad bit enviable. I’m fond of this arrangement you have here.” Stabbing her fork into a piece of unidentifiable meat, she moved it around in a crimson puddle of sauce before sticking it into her mouth. While she observed the demoness before her, she chewed and swallowed her food down. The strongest Valkyrie descended to the realm closest to hell and dined with one of its key figures. Truly, she considered this an ironic remarkable sight. Her ability to make allies based on their prowess and not their ambiguous lineage served as a boon to their cause. When the demoness explained her situation and her desire to obtain the Fruit of Might, Ace continued to wear a primarily colourless expression. She tilted her head to the side, the cogs of her mind stirring. Though she boasted power beyond imagination, taking on the other demon lords by herself seemed less than ideal. She sought a partner to help her with the endeavour. After obtaining this knowledge, a smile grew on the face of the Saiyan hybrid. She demonstrated her power and now somebody required it. “I will say that providing a worthy opponent does qualify as a reward, but that is included in the package when combatting these opposing forces. I imagine the other demon lords possess power like your own, and that will keep my appetite sated, dear.” She paused, her smile becoming sultry and a little more devious. Ace’s heartbeat accelerated in excitement. The Saiyan seemed enthused by the woman’s words and offer. “One of my components studies demons in search of power. I’m sure she would enjoy having her knowledge expanded in the field, and bolstering her, in turn, strengthens me… but, more importantly–”Ace pointed her fork at Kyouka. “I only seek carnal desires with the best. You would be very suitable if you’d ever like to play.”

Ah, for once an outsider who actually makes a lick of sense. Long has she tire of outsiders who complain about how the government structure within the realm relies on power rather than some sort of abstract philosophy. The interest within the fused being certainly grew even more, if only she can somehow make the fusion somehow permanent. Something to look up within her vast archives for certain. "This arrangement can certainly be earned should you wish to carve your own realm within another Lord's county." There comes a point where conquest grew too much for her to manage alone. Having someone who are of similar mindset as her ally would certainly lighten her workload. A powerful ally needs to be sated in some manner, otherwise even a temporary truce would break quite easily. As Ace began to mention about one of her component's interest, Kyouka's eyes light up. Such a simple thing would be easy enough for her to fulfill, immediately if she desired. But that would mean splitting them both into two again and she was not quite finished chatting with the entity Ace yet. Surprisingly, when asked of carnal desire she rejected using the succubi for her companionship and instead express direct interest in her. The demoness smirk grew wide before she looked at one of the waitress with a command. "Fetch my demonic runestone Kaska.""At once Lady Kyoka." immediately the succubus in question leave them to fetch the object she mention. The demoness then take that moment to sip the wine to down her meal before she continue to speak. "That can be easily arranged. I have an archive within the castle containing tomes with knowledge that you speak. This component of yours may access there anytime she wish. As long as she possess my runestone that is." As if on cue, the succubus returned with the object in question before presenting it to Ace. An obsidian black stone, with strange rune symbol engraved on them. The rune glow slightly on Ace's hand, emanating a slight magical power from them. "As for your interest to play with me...I would not be opposed to that. Rare is a being who fascinate me as much as you do so my chamber will be open to you. Just inform me when do you wish to play." with that her own fork and knife were put down near her plate as she finished her meal, before downing them with her wine. Cipher | 405 words.

When the woman spoke of a demonic runestone, her own eyes lit up. She heard of items with that name before, and it piqued her interest. If she recalled correctly, dark magic practitioners etched stones with special glyphs to imbue them with power. Instead of commenting on the matter, she waited for the servant to retrieve the object Kyouka asked for. She listened to the demoness speak on the purpose of the runestone before the succubus presented her with it. The moment she took it into her hand she felt a warmth emanate from it, verifying her suspicions. The woman’s smile broadened. “I too have an interest in demonology. One day, I would like to be able to interpret things like these runes and their meanings. It seems I’ve inherited that thirst for knowledge and power.” Using her thumb, she traced the outline of the marking inscribed upon the stone. The delicate touch she used contrasted all her idiosyncrasies when she first entered the castle. Setting the empowered rock on the table, she wrapped her lithe fingers around the stem of her wine glass and sipped its contents deeply. A flavour unobtainable by any mortal vineyard flooded her mouth, potent enough to challenge even her impregnable constitution. After hearing the demoness speak again, she considered her words more delicious than the wine itself. While she spoke to her, Ace spent her time observing her every action and dining on the food provided. She savoured every bite of her meal, setting her fork and knife down and sipping the remaining dregs of alcohol lingering in the glass. Running her tongue over her lips, Ace leaned over the table. Clasping her hands together, she formed a bridge of fingers to balance her chin on while she elongated her eyes and purred in response to the woman’s words. “It’s decided, then. You will have my full support,” The Saiyan android hybrid paused for a moment, allowing the comment to register in the demoness’ mind. “And I will keep you informed. I wouldn’t be opposed even right now should you have such a desire. But should we depart now or play first, keep in mind that my time existing runs thin…” Ace chuckled. “…unless you have a means of supplying me with even more energy.”

Hearing Ace expressed her desire in studying demonology, Kyoka can hardly contained her excitement. She had considered the possibility that the other component of Ace's fusion would be against them but it appeared that her concern was unnecessary. Having a similar interest would only serve to foster the bridge of relationship she's trying to build between them. "I would be more than glad than to teach you about them personally. In return however, I would like to know more about Ki manipulation. Most of the combatants here used magecraft and the ones I've met were quite reluctant to part with their knowledge." The demoness explained to her. Not that she had met a lot of capable fighters with ki, more often than not she can simply overwhelm them with her arcane abilities even without fully understanding her opponent's method of fighting. Having a firm grasp of such abilities may be the key for her to change the wind in her favor. After hearing Ace given her approval of supporting her, the demoness let out a tiny smirk and nodded. Not quite the pawn under her command...any attempt to control Ace directly would result in combat that will damage them both. No, Ace had proven too interesting for her to keep as a loyal lapdog and given her personality she would be better off independent and as an ally. That way she would be able to give objective opinion based on how she observe the situation rather than trying to say something that pleased her ears. When Ace told them her power grew thin, the demoness paused slightly as she ponder this information. Keeping the fusion permanent would be beyond her power and knowledge at this point. Yet it was far too soon for her to say farewell to this being, as she wanted her to stay a bit more. Supplying the Saiyan android hybrid with energy would be quite an easy task for her except the being was a fusion form which means providing a small but constant amount of energy would not work. After pondering a bit more, the demoness finally settled on a solution. As with many other things today, it had been a while since she had done it but she had full confidence she can pull it off perfectly. "As a matter of fact, I do. It's a process called mana transfer. Normally a drop of my blood would suffice but...I do not think that would be enough in your case. Fortunately that can be rectified by playing in our chamber. Keep in mind that the energy provided to sustain you would be of dark magic in nature." The demoness had never try to do it other than with a denizen of the demon realm. Should Ace choose to accept this, the result would be quite....intriguing. Cipher | 467 words. Total words: 11,005. |

“Oh?”The woman tilted her head to the side when she learned about Kyouka’s desire to know more about the manipulation of ki. The familiar gesture, combined with her quizzical look, alluded to the demoness piquing her interest once again. She witnessed their similarities first hand; from the desire to learn more about the opposite way of fighting to their mannerisms. Additionally, Ace felt capable of teaching her about the spiritual energy. Both people making her up possessed ample knowledge in the field, and both acquired experience training others. Ace lacked qualms when it came to offering the service. “I can absolutely provide you with such a service.” She assumed she wanted the strongest in the field to teach her about it, hence Ace’s participation. The same applied to the fusion, and Cipher. She wanted to learn from the best magic practitioners and use it to bolster her own arsenal. This would provide her greater offense and means of protecting herself against magic. In the past, magic proved effective against Cipher, and the Saiyan half of her wanted to rectify the flaw. Warding herself against the maladies she endured and putting them to use herself. And then she brought up a process called mana transfer. The woman smiled ear to ear. Her brain became overzealous, putting two and two together and coming to an early conclusion regarding what the practice might entail. If she considered blood inadequate, and if the practice occurred within her chambers during play, it seemed obvious even to fools. Pushing her dish forward, the Saiyan arose from her seat and fixed her hungry eyes on the demoness’ figure. Mentioning the energy supplied being dark in nature failed to elicit a negative response in Ace. “I’m counting on it,” She started, expressing her delight in fuelling herself with insidious magic. “Shall we, then? With energy like that, we can continue talking and playing for as long as you like.”Keeping her word, she spent the remainder of her day as one mighty being within the confines of the floating castle, furthering her knowledge and indulging pleasures of the flesh to her leisure.
