Green Heart; Assembly

Vita L'sia appeared in the area that was colored completely green, where she felt the pulsations of the Crystal Heart resting. "This is it." She knew that this was where they needed to be brought. "Here, Girls," Vita summoned, calling the Fae to her presence, as they would probably instantaneously or spontaneously appear. "We can talk here." The Fae had never been here before, and neither had Vita, but the Crystal Heart that called out to her rested here, and so this was where they would speak about what was going on more covertly.

The Witches that were in the Olde Witch City had been following Vita for a long time. Though they could use all sorts of methods to get to the desired destination, the fact that they'd been waiting so long for Vita to tell them what was going on was really starting to bother the Fae. "What's with all this jumping around? What happened?" They were getting their panties in a bunch. "We've been left in the dark all this time and now we need some answers!" So many things were happening now that they hadn't been exposed to in what seemed like eons. This much energy and liveliness hadn't been around them for quite some time, else they would have already been around it and using it for their sustenance and natural fodder. The Fae were starved just like the land was of its life essence and energy, so there was never much movement nor interaction, until Vita showed back up in town, that is. They were curious what all these things were that went on around them that Vita seemed to know about that weren't being told.

"DIEEEEE!!!!!!!!" the sound of a primal screech, one which was the voice of a woman, blasted the area as a powerful burst of wind, as if a giant had just started blowing air on the entire area with concussive force. "I'M GONNA FUCK YOU UP!!! HAAAHAHAHA!!!" A whirlstorm blustered throughout the area, knocking around everything that was in the green-tinted area at the time. "NYEH NYEH!!! IT WAS A TRAP!!!" Rain suddenly poured from the sky like the salivation of the mouth overhead. "AND A MIGHTY TASTY ONE AT THAT!!!" The little Fae that were in the area were looking delectable, and Tao, the Wind Goddess that had been summoned to this area, was thirsty for them. "I'M GOING TO DEVOUR YOU. I'M HUNGRY." A sharp claw like a bolt of lightning shot down from overhead to skewer a helpless Witch that happened to have moseyed into the wrong part of town, poking around in something she had no business in. Whichever one was struck would immediately be plucked into the sky just as fast as the sharp bolt hit the ground, and only the smoldering crater was left. All of it looked like a blur and a flash of light.

Blood poured out of the sky like rain, then, so did many other bolts, as well as maniacal cackling that stirred the discordant and turbulent winds.

The Fae shrieked in terror when one of their own kind was struck dead. They nearly panicked, but followed the Head Witch out of the territory. They disappeared instantaneously once they reached a certain point in flight, streaming on the various Manna in the air. They would reappear somewhere else as a congregation of energy after they dispersed.

Tao cackled maniacally, letting all the pixie dust fall from her sharp fangs like blood all over her territory specifically marked out for her. "Nyeeeeh! Got me the taste of Pixie Sticks in my mouth now. Grblah." Now that Tao had a taste for Fae, and she was feeling a bit of a deficiency in some areas that were lacking in her life, like members of her territory, she would decide to go out and seek them on her own. Whichever ones weren't devoured would be taken back to this area after she departed if she could acquire them.


The bloodthirsty salivation that poured from Tao's mouth like rain would continue to shower the entire area with water and the storm of her rushing to and fro all about wildly creating a vapor that spread over the land like a curtain. The sound of thunder and the crash of lightning were the storming movements of Tao over the skies of Valparaiso as she searched out some prey to be both her next meal and in her assembly. Every time one of her paws struck the cloud's top like the ground, a stream of bolts of lightning would crash down in that area and strike the entire land with 'Terror' on the spot. When she heard the screams, that would be when she'd sink her claws into them and devour them just like with that pixie girl. No one would ever see her coming. Her maniac, seemingly crazed laughter was blotted out by the crashing of the thunder, yet also added on to it simultaneously.

--- Time Skip ---

Eventually, over time, after the incident with the Wind Goddess that commanded the Green Heart assembly, different beings began to congregate in the territory that was once filled with Manna. The elemental energy left behind by Taomin formed into many Aethereal beings, which were composed of the elements. Water from the rain, wind from the thunder, electricity from the lightning -- however the energy in the air lingered, the elementals were naturally drawn to or manifested in this particular location.

With the Green Heart territory emptied out, the Aethereals were able to fill the massive space with their own energies, intermingling with one another as the elements naturally did in their respective places in nature. They were unaware of the Mistress of the Green Hearts, but they felt her energy and how powerful it was. So they stayed in anticipation for this energetic being to return to the land it once roamed in.

The Kazegami -- or, Wind Goddess -- Taomin felt the vibrations of other elemental beings entering her territory. Rolling in on a dark cloud with a powerful wind, the Wind Goddess grumbled, "What You All Doin In My Territory?!?" It seemed like she was more concerned with keeping her area to herself than teaching about what to do in the Green Hearts assembly.

But.

Taomin felt the presence of so many elemental beings together to be quite soothing, and was lulled into a soft breeze that gently passed through the area to observe all of the beings that were congregated in the assembly. "... This Is My Territory -- I Am Taomin. This Place Is Meant To Understand About The Heart And The Art Of Being A Queen." By that, she meant the Piece 'Queen' in Chess. She settled down in the center of the assembly in her non-feral form, donning a black kimono that trailed off into the wind, making it look as if she had no feet. Her hair remained wild and long, but her eyes became tender, but sharp. "You All Want To Learn From Tao The Ways Of Using Energy Like A Queen?"

The Aethereals, both elemental and spiritual, would all resonate with the words of the Kazegami, wishing for her to teach them the ways of the Queen. Their spirits weren't unsettled or restless, but they were definitely happy and bountiful. Some of them were in a state of unrest, and could not find peace, but here, they had that -- mostly because of the presence and anticipation. So they waited for her to further explain herself, so that they could find rest beyond her in the queenly things they would learn.

Now, Taomin was very happy to teach these spirits about how to find their peace and rest and whatnot, but Taomin herself was quite the vengeful, violent, raging storm of a being in and of her own existence. She'd always been such ever since she was possessed, and it was who she was now. However, she tried very hard to embrace herself as who she was before all the murderous vengeful destructive demonic negativity -- when she was a young, holy, innocent, kind, sweet, divine priestess Shrine Maiden. In that, Taomin had to try very hard to suppress the negativity in her, especially when irked by people she cared about.

Yet flashes of her past viewed in her head, and she recalled plenty of wicked people that she slew in the same ways she did the innocent. She might have certainly slaughtered all sorts of innocents, but she did indiscriminately slay the wicked, as well. And as much as she loved negativity, she truly did hate those people in her very deepest parts of her soul. The holy shrine maiden in her still hated evil, as she did when she was young, before she was corrupted by the evil of her parents and the demon.

And it never left.

So, that's where she'd focus the intent of the Green Hearts... On evil spirits.

She explained to the Aethereals and all such Aether about the evil spirits, and what they were like -- how they could reside in false forms, hide themselves, cover their intent, and even just flat out fake being good, but that they could not actually maintain that for a long time. And if they could, they could not when questioned. So it ended up being a lecture about the actual true presence of what an evil spirit looked like in one's soul, no matter how many layers of good deeds, nice works, pretty faces, or kindly actions one could layer itself in. There was always a way to tell true evil, no matter the cover.

And Taomin told the spirits the secrets.

Since the Dark Ones were on a point of getting things done in the shadows, the 'Dark Wolf' had to summon its 'Subordinate', the 'Shadowfox', which was Tao's 'Divine Pet' that mirrored the 'Dark Wolf', except the 'Female Version', explicitly.

Since Tsao was the 'King Kitsune', he could command the 'Shadowfox', and since Tao was just the female counterpart of himself he could shift into, he also had executive dominion just as Tao would... Though only slightly less so, since the 'Shadowfox' also was Tao.

In any case, the 'Dark Wolf' called for the 'Shadowfox' to attend the 'Void Bo$$' summit with 'Don Vero', who had just released the 'Puppetmaster' -Void Bo$$- after the 'Chibi-chan' left this important meeting.

Quote :

Tao -- who 'Just-So-Happened' to be in the 'Lawless Land' at the same time as the goings on, and had her own things going on for her -- was 'Summoned' by her brother (and 'Alter Ego' of herself as a 'Male Version') Tsao, to be his 'Subordinate' in her 'Subordinate' form... The 'Shadowfox'.

With a 'Shadow Jump', the 'Shadowfox' would undergo the 'Foxtrot' and start to lead the 'Dark Wolf' through what Tao was doing, so that the two of them could settle that matter and let the Don deal with things as he would, waiting for the right proper moment. Though this seemed counterproductive, it was actually quite helpful, and was simply the 'Shadows' of the actual entities themselves, which would remain here, patiently in wait for the Void Bo$$ to act again.

Quote :

Don Vero bade the Dark Wolf off with a haunting call, "DESOTO!" and 'Bid' the 'Hound' to 'Service' Taomin, his sister and counterpart, as well as consort. The two of them together would likely get everything done on their own, since that was their whole gimmick. Between the two of them, they shared everything, including their own power, energy, and bodies. They even shared two sides of the same exact story.
