He left his parents to the talking, Percy barely spoke after going back home that night. He'd marched up to them, sober, which was the first hint of something big, and told them he was ready. It was all they needed, and they didn't ask question either about his reddened eyes or look of pain. His parents were always accepting, sometimes begrudgingly, sometimes with a kindness Percy rarely saw, but was timed perfectly to remind him that they may not be by blood, but Meinu and Aisu were his family. He not trusted them before, not trusted them or followed them, but now Percy was more than willing to work with them. He didn't know what entirely for, whether it was to just destroy, or if it was to plan a change to the world, but he'd trust them with it, and just offer his support. They gave him an idea of what was happening. He knew his mother was a Sun child, built to destroy, and his father had been taught to do the same. But both of them weren't planning on just flat out ruining the world. 'Destroy' was just a term used that meant changing the world as it was now. And apparently, they had plans on what to do, under a leader. The old Demon King, Mo. They said he was the mastermind, and had asked for their help, in return for a guaranteed better future, that would certainly please them both.
He didn't know about Percy, apparently. His parents had been respectful enough to keep Percy a secret even from their leader for his own sake, until Percy chose for himself to follow Mo as they did. And he'd agreed last night to follow this Demon, which led him to the now. Night time in Kurrayami was even darker than the place usually was, not that Percy had much experience with the Demon world. But the darkness was a comfort, it meant at least others would find it hard to see him. They walked quietly to the centre of town, to a small hut, smaller than even their home in Rycora. It didn't look special, but Percy could tell a disguise when he saw one, so it didn't make his resolve falter. He hesitated at the door, waiting for his parents to explain to Mo about the new arrival, before shuffling inside sheepishly.

Meinu didn't know what came over her when Percy came back broken and the urge to hug and comfort him over ruled her need to harm whoever hurt him. But it did, and for a moment Meinu was terrified up until he said he was ready and that was the end of it, Meinu accepting that it was time and Percy was now able to meet and follow Mo, though the thought sent something uneasy in her stomach. Under the cover of darkness as normal, Meinu and Aisu happily took Percy to the small hut used as a disguise until it was time for the big events. Entering as usual and looking to her leader. "Mo... For the last eighteen years I have followed your every command just has Aisu... For those years of protection while we waited, it wasn't just us you were protecting. Percival... The son of Emeri and Blye, has too been hiding with us, as our son, waiting for the day he could be of help to our cause. And that day has arrived. I have Percival here now." Meinu gestured to the door for Aisu to allow Percy in, while the drop in her stomach worsened, though she ignored it. "Percival, meet Mo, your new leader, if he will accept you in of course." Meinu gave her son a look to behave and do anything asked, before looking back to Mo.

Things were working out well. Mo had many friends now, they might not know his real intentions, but they did follow him with a loyalty Mo longed for. He had his own daughter, Lilith and her mind were a perfect asset for him, and her knowledge was close to his own. He needed her as a Demon, which was perhaps why she feared Mo somewhat, but he knew he had her loyalty all the same, a true family was always loyal to one another. She was working on altering the machine Marzzi had created. Mo had happily taken it off the boys hands, to make sure he didn't get nosy into it's true purpose. And he still needed the Sun child and Exitium's boy on his side. They were strong, they were born to serve someone, be it a deity or a man considering himself one, which made them easy to make his friends and followers. Truth be told they were nothing more than simple lapdogs that Mo would one day use as shields, but they still had their uses. He didn't pry much into their lives, only when around him, so it was much surprise to see them come to his house tonight. The small room with walls practically layered in notes and old scripts, drawing of ancient theories or maps long forgotten about. He listened with interest, hiding his smirk. Oh how this was so perfect. Meinu and Aisu were giving Mo more than he'd expected. Not just their strength, but their 'son'. Mo had his eyes on the Humans known for using such strong magic, Space and Time was a power only a deity should have, in his opinion.
Which was what led Mo into destroying the clan of Space and Time a thousand years ago.
He'd wanted them dead, he wanted the threat gone. But now, he was glad some had survived, their power, it was very valuable. At first, Mo thought on using the King and Queen, but then the Queen died, and the King grew weaker. He didn't know they had a son, and the glint in his eye was obvious as Meinu mentioned it. Mo didn't speak until Percival, as he was called, came in. His eyes were to the floor, not looking up to the small Demon, but Mo still smiled warmly to him. "Thank you, my boy, for considering joining us. Your mother tells me you were born from the King and Queen of Humans? I must ask, do you possess both of their unique powers?" Mo asked slyly, tail flickering, and he could almost feel his mouth salivate with excitement. "You are strong, Percival. Possibly the strongest being to live. Of course I will accept you into our cause, and to serve me well, you only need to do one simple thing." Mo began, "Give me that power of yours."

Aisu let Meinu do all the talking from the point of Percy telling them he was ready, Aisu not finding the strength to tell them he didn't want Percy involved anymore, despite how long they waited for him to be ready. He meant too much to him, and at the end of the day, Aisu couldn't really go against it now. But as Aisu allowed Percy in, it took all his strength not to grab his sons arm and stop him, to drag him away under the false pretences of him not being ready... Especially as Mo spoke about taking his power... Aisu wouldn't put it past the Demon to actually do so. Aisu felt himself step forward in protection the tiniest bit, the way Mo spoke setting bad vibes into his stomach and making his insides turn, it promised bad things to happen... And Aisu didn't want his son in the thick of it. "With all do respect, Percy isn't the most fluent with his magic. Its temperamental, Percy will need time to adapt to it..." Aisu had to find a reasonable excuse the others would believe to hold of anything permanent until he could find something else, to talk to Meinu about this privately. To find why Percy has decided now to join. Meinu would hear the worry in his voice, it was the same he could see in her eyes, the slight flicker of doubt only spending eighteen years together would notice. Aisu only hoped Percy wouldn't get all protective over his abilities and what he could do.

He couldn't look up yet. He'd seen too many pasts recently to want Mo's on the pile as well. Percy wasn't sure how well this whole arrangement would go if he never looked Mo in the eyes, but right now he almost physically couldn't look up. He was scared, without a definite reason for it. Something made Percy's back shiver like a cold and merciless chill was running down it, and his mind was a cacophony of screams and recent memories he didn't want. It was because of those cruel memories that Percy stood here, looking to help change the world, it was also because of them however, that the boy was so incredibly tense. He listened to Mo talk, and tried to make the shake in his hands less obvious. "I.. I do. I can use the powers of Time and Space." He replied quietly, staring at the ground until he was focusing on a mere speck to just distract his vision. He frowned a little, when Mo went off and explained how Percy was so powerful and strong, he wasn't expecting it. Then, the Demon growled as he asked for that power himself. The statement was enough of a shock to make Percy lift his head, and all it took was a glance into Mo's pinkish eyes.
Percy blinked, then blinked again, and without warning, his breath shuddered, and the boy dropped onto his knees, just behind his parents. A bead of sweat down his face, and a face gone white with shock. He almost wanted to be sick, but Percy had to speak, he had to at least let his parents know what hurt so much. "How... just how many people have you killed?" Percy asked breathlessly to Mo, seeing this small purple Demon, and then seeing what he'd done the last two thousand odd years to get here. Percy pushed himself back a little, finding his back soon against a wall, "P... please d-don't kill me." He muttered, the plea asked almost subconsciously.

Meinu was glad Aisu was having the same doubts as her, she cold hear it in his voice, especially after Mo spoke, asked for her sons magic... That was never part of the deal, never something she was ready to give, and she was about ready to say something herself, up until her son dropped to the ground and asked such a question. She didn't even hesitate to rush over to him and comfort her boy, running fingers through his hair and glaring at Mo. "What is he talking about?" Meinu got up, a protective stance in front of her son and gave a slight look to Aisu in panic. "MO... Are you planning to kill our son? TELL ME." Meinu wouldn't allow it, she would make sure he got out alive and well, as would Aisu. Allowing her hands to light up slightly, ready to cut the room and make an escape in case he really was planning on it, knowing she wasn't strong enough to fight him right now, not alone, not while trying to protect her son... "Aisu, get Percy out of here. Far away..." The Plea was enough for her to no longer trust in Mo, knowing Percy wouldn't do such a thing unless he really did fear the other. She was right, Percy changed her, made her care... She only hoped that change didn't go away.

Mo could only play the nice, passive Demon for so long. When he looked to the boy, he looked at him a thirst. A desire for a taste of the power running through his blood. Percy was powerful, Mo smirked as, behind the defensive wall of his parents, the boy discovered the truth in mere milliseconds. He was strong enough to read even the longest past in less than a second, Mo felt a shiver down his back, imagining what secrets he himself could uncover with that kind of ability. Mo's tail moved, twirling behind him, as he'd yet to move. The small Demon slowly smirked, "So many, my boy." Mo purred, "This world is kill or be killed. I choose to kill for the sake of not being killed, to make sure my strength and control is never threatened. That's why I killed them, Percival, the clan your powers came from, amongst many others." Mo stated. His eyes grew more violent as the other two took a more aggressive stance, Meinu assuming she could suddenly break this situation off. Mo chuckled, "He'll be going no where." Mo growled, "You brought him to me, Meinu, and I thank you for the gift." Mo smirked, then looked to Aisu. Mo's ears began to move, to vibrate and release a very low pitched noise, the kind of noise he'd once used to help his Demon children be stronger, now it was to make them strong, and savage. He couldn't have this moment ruined, and it was oh so perfect that at least one of these minions was a Demon, capable of becoming mindlessly violence as soon as Mo asked for it. With Aisu 'controlled' Mo turned back to Meinu. "I don't want to kill him, that would waste his precious magic. I will use him. Of course, he will be contained, attached to a device I created that will give me his magic, I can't have a boy of his power around to ruin my plans, after all." Mo explained, his tail swishing, becoming thicker. And quickly, the rest of Mo began to grow, body transforming slowly into a Dragon. It cracked through the roof of the small building, until the three below were just so small. Mo kept Demon Origin going, one eye on Aisu's development, as he hissed, neck lashing down and jaws aiming around the small body of Percival.

Aisu watched Meinu instead of Mo, knowing she was thinking of doing something reckless especially as she told him to get Percy out of here. Though the situation was a bad time for it, Aisu gave a laugh knowing that Percy got to her as much as he got to him, and in a way was thankful for it as he heard the "You Bastard" echo around the room from his other half. But it was mere seconds after as he moved that Aisu was brought to his knees with a loud pitched noise and he felt his body shake from being controlled, like his mind wasn't attached to his functions. He felt himself begin to shift into his dragon form, one he hadn't turned into for a while, ignoring the rest of the commotion. It wasn't until Mo had turned himself, that he fully shifted himself and begin his attack on Meinu to keep her out the way of interfering getting to Percy. Aisu despite his lack of control could tell she was pulling her attacks and trying not to harm him. But Aisu didn't have that privilege as he felt himself blow cold air at her in a solid attempt to freeze her to death, not even telling if she got caught in the blast or not. His only hope was that she knew he didn't mean for this to happen. |

The air changed dramatically once Percy had spoken. In an instant, his parents were by his side, preparing to protect him at all costs. It was a comfort Percy loved dearly, from these usually tough love parents of his. Having their help stopped him from giving into the orchestra of new deaths in his mind, watching them all from Mo's view, bodies just ripped apart by this monstrous Demon in the past. He dreaded to imagine what might happen to himself at Mo's hands, if he was so hungry for Percy's magic, and he wished there wasn't a wall behind him, or else Percy would be running by now. It was after his mother spoke, that his father began to change suddenly, launch at Meinu as the same time as Mo's transformation.
The wall behind Percy did in fact disappear, along with the rest of the house, but he came to realise that for less than a second before massive jaws came flying towards him. Percy flinched, a burst of magic as a reaction, and the massive jaws stopped an inch from touching him. The world froze, giving Percy a moment think. Mo said he didn't want Percy dead, but by his actions, he didn't want the boy exactly alive either. He wanted Percy unconscious, to use as whatever power source he planned for, Percy didn't want to think about it. He only wanted to run and hide. Percy stepped out of the dangerous jaws, glancing over to his parents. Aisu was winning, Meinu was holding back, and their son winced as right now, he had no idea how to help them, only how to cowardly help himself. No longer inside, Percy ran directly away from the house. In frozen time, it was silent, so he didn't hear anything. He stopped after a few seconds of running, still unable to feel like he needed to help his parents. Percy glanced back to their frozen states, only to see a hulking mass of purple far closer than it should be. Percy looked up in surprise as Mo had moved, resisting the magic, red eyes set on the boy, and silently filling his chest with air. Percy didn't need to know a lot about Dragons to know what was going to happen next. From Mo's mouth came a gout of purple flames, unaffected by the time magic, just like the Dragon himself. Percy stumbled out of the way, trying harder to force Mo to freeze, watching as it merely slowed him down a little. It left Percy one option, try to outrun this rampage.

Time magic was an interesting thing. If you happened to see the caster use it, you could watch as they freeze you in place, or do whatever they wanted to the flow of time. Mo felt his jaws lock, mouth open as Percy stopped time, rushing out of harms way. He ran, looking back only for his parents. Mo couldn't allow him to escape, that boy was powerful, Mo needed to capture him when he was alone, without help, and whilst weakened from his emotional state. The Dragon struggled against the time magic keeping him still. His scaled body moved and shook, Mo found it easier than he'd expected to break the magic, which made him chuckle, before stalking up to Percival once more. He took in a breath, exhaling it in a cloud of wicked purple flames. Mo caught the boy dodge, and as Percy tried to slow him down. But Mo still resisted, sneering down at the small Human as a clawed hand came up to strike Percy from the side. It it flesh, Mo could tell from the resistance, before the time magic welded him in place. This time it was stronger, Percy was out of sight when Mo freed himself, but the blood was fresh, and it was something to track at least. Mo glanced back to the other two, Aisu and Meinu. He knew chasing Percy would mean his hold on Aisu would end. But it wasn't like they could stop him even if both still had their minds.
Snarling, Mo stormed through Kurrayami, sniffing out his prey. No one had been alerted yet, Percy was a fool to freeze time, because it gave no one the opportunity to react to Mo's outburst and destruction of part of the city. Still, he could understand how fear must be controlling the little child's mind right now, Mo could almost pity it, if it wasn't giving him a huge advantage. The trail didn't last long before darting inside of a building. Mo chuckled into the silence, his deep Dragon voice just as quiet in this frozen space. It gave him another advantage of surprise, Mo believed, as one slam of his tail, he knocked the building apart, aiming his teeth for the small figure inside. He instead however, snarled as a pointed tail lashed out, stabbing into his thick shoulder and pushing the Dragon back. A dark blue being, about the same size as Mo appeared, parts of it's strange translucent body were sparkling. It presented two large pincers, after pulling out it's tail, along with many legs, and silently hissed at Mo. The Dragon growled back at this sudden giant Scorpion in his way, red eyes looking passed it for the small boy. But Percival had vanished, and Mo felt annoyed. He underestimated the child, which was one mistake that would make this much harder. Time also restarted around him, as the scorpion attempted to clamp down on Mo's legs. Around him he could already hear others rising up, yelling out in sudden commotion. Mo roared in frustration, aiming a blast of flames straight down onto the Scorpion. Like it was made of dust, the creature crumbled immediately, it's powers spent, but it's purpose seemingly fulfilled. It had allowed Percival to run, and Mo couldn't take time to track him down with others approaching. His plans weren't ready yet, he couldn't fight back a whole city, so instead, the Dragon shrunk back down. And smaller, Mo vanished into the alleyways of Kurrayami, waiting for his chance to fly off back to somewhere more hidden.
