I apologize for this taking so long. Due to work, the outbreak and school, plus other ideas for stories and a bit of writers block kept me away from this. Enjoy.


The united mother and daughter pair held each other. Tears streamed down their faces for a few more moments, the two separated with Ruby looking up at her transformed long lost mother.

"Mom, what happened to you? Why does all the Faunus look the same? Where are we?"

Summer gave a sad smile to her lost daughter. "That little petal is a long story that will need a bit of explaining to understand even some of it. But those answers will come later, for I too need to know your tale as well as the events that made you use your power to the extent that you did." Summer explained but then noticed that Ruby had cocked her head to the side in confusion.

"What power?" She asked.

Now it was the Demon Lord to be confused. "The powers of a silver-eye Warrior. Were you unaware of this?" Ruby shook her head no. "Did Tai or Qrow not explain them to you?" She shook her head no again. "Did they not explain any of your family inheritance?" Another head shake, the Deamon Lord, was not amused. "If I see either of those two men in the future, I'm going to give them a piece of my mind about following instructions. It may have been millennia since I wrote them down, but I remember it being in my will to explain your inheritance when you become of age. Specifically, if you ever decided to follow in my footsteps as a warrior."

The more her mother talked, the less and less Ruby could understand what she was talking about, silver-eye warriors?

"Oh well," Summer said lamely. "Will add that to the growing pile of things we will have to talk later with each other. There's going to be a lot we are going to have to cover."

Ruby's mind had finally come up to date on what her mother said, and one word stood out. "Mom, what do you mean by millennia?"

Summer looked at her child with a serious face. "To know that Ruby, you must understand. You are no longer on Remnant, and by looking at you now compared to when I last saw you, it seems bearly a decade has passed for you sense my disappearance. As for me, it has been well over eleven hundred years since I first entered this world."

The bombshell that got dropped on the young redhead was staggering, sending Ruby's mind into inner turmoil. Before another word could be said, the sound of people running came from the doorway Ruby entered through earlier, and two more Lilith entered the room looking distraught.

"Elle, Glee, nice of you to join us. Glee, why was your packmate chasing your sister through the halls like she was on the hunt?" The Demon Lord asked her children.

"Sister?" Ruby said, confused by what her mother said.

"The fault lies with me as well, mother." Elle started with her head bowing down in shame. "I posted my sister Glee in watching over our sister Ruby and her packmate Linex had dragged her away when she woke up. Mina was with me and found the two in a nearby room having sex and threatened Lenix with time in the Denil dungeon if she didn't find Ruby," she explained.

"Mother?!" Ruby shouted, which gained everyone's attention as they took in Ruby's shocking appearance.

Summer smiled at her daughter's reaction. "Ruby, meet your sister Elle. She is the captain of the castle guard. To her left is Glee, another one of your sisters. Then Mina, who's currently dazed on the ground from your sudden entrance." Elle smiled kindly at Ruby while Glee waved excitedly at her, Mina was still in an unconscious state on the ground. Ruby slowly waved back at her found sisters. Unsure how she should feel about this.

"Then there are your other sisters over there," Summer pointed at the group Lilim sisters, all smiling brightly at the redhead. Ruby's jaw dropped at the sight that she had more sisters. They all had smiles and waved at the little reaper. Her mind then picked up something about their features.

"Why do they all look the same?" Ruby asked.

"That's because we are all Lilim," answered Elle as she approached Ruby.

"What's a Lilim?" Ruby replied.

"We are the Lilim, Ruby. It is the collective name given to the daughters of our mother, the Demon Lord, and her husband." The armored woman explained.

"Mother...?"Ruby's mind was now rotating like a Boartusk's attack as she once more looked at Summer Rose. "...Demon Lord?"

"That's right, Ruby."

Summer replied in a somber tone. She hunched over and sat a hand on Ruby's shoulder and guided her over to the thrown where her other "sisters" gathered. Sitting on her thrown, the Lilim gathered around their lost sister, each giving greetings to the nervous teen.

Ruby just realized that she was in the presence of actual demons and that she was now possibly related to all of them. As a girl dedicating her life to fighting the creatures of darkness, she didn't know how to handle the current situation. Summer gained their attention by clearing her throat.

"Now girls, I know everyone is eager to pounce on Ruby and introduce yourselves to her. But I ask that we hold off that first as I'm sure Ruby would like a few answers to what had happened to me?" The girls backed off from Ruby but were still near the redheaded teen.

Ruby felt a little relieved even thou she's gotten better at it, she still didn't like being at the center of attention. So she focused on her mother rather than all the newly revealed sisters she now has.

"Sence you are here, I'll start us off by giving my story. You certainly deserve answers from me more than anything." Summer said sadly.

"When I first came to this world a millennia ago, I quickly encountered the monsters that roamed the lands. Day after day, I encountered horrible monsters that could match the Grimm of Remnant and sometimes were worse than them." Summer started.

The thought of something worse then Grimm was not a fond thought to the young redhead. Ruby having seen the aftermath of Mountain Glen and being at the moth of the breach where Grimm tried poring into Vale.

"Villages rased to the ground by mad goblins, deadly forests filled with wild beasts, and plant monsters that eat anything that gets near them. There was no end to the horrors as I fought off waves of enemies that want nothing more than to devour the flesh of my body. As weeks went by, I traveled from town to town to find out more about this world and find a means to return home."

Summer waved her hand in the air, and an illusion from her memories appeared before them. Showing her old human form that her daughter Ruby was familiar with and some of her early adventures. "One day, while I searched for a way home, my attention was distracted to a problem that the town I was in had."

"What happened?" Ruby asked, looking very interested in the story as were a few of the youngers Lilim that were present. They all had the childlike wonder that they possessed that made the Demon Lord and a few of the elder Lilim sisters smile.

"The town I was in had been a significant trading hub for the humans in that region. By then, I had amassed a reputation in the area of being a monster slayer and have been approached to deal with a monster band that was nearby. I heard there was a Demon-type monster leading the band and attempting to conquer the area for its own. I had yet to encounter its type before. There was little information on what it looked like or what it could do. All I had to go on was that it had a human female form and that recently gathered a strong force of rouge Trolls at its command. With the months of fighting beasts and the monsters of this world, I believed my training as a Huntress could handle such creatures."

Summer shooked her head in sadness. "My pride in being a formidable warrior and kind nature to others was the start of my undoing. When traveling to the last known sighting of Trolls, I did not go alone as the one who approached me had came along to fight beside me.

"Her name was Anda Tanaka." Summer said the name venom in her tone.

Many years ago

The Huntress in White looked back at the village the women left behind than to the map she had in hand. Her coin purse was getting a little light, and she was in need of much-needed supplies, especially if she was going to book passage east across the sea.

Her new goal.

Summer had heard rumor of an old magical library in a city called Soleus. From what she could gather. It used to be the Capital of a strong, stable city-state similar to ancient kingdoms of Remnant. The city had been built mainly by dwarves and some humans and made into the side a mountain.

Her goal was a library within the city containing magic tomes. Books of all kinds. The knowledge that could help her find a way back home. Back to her family.

But that was for later; this is now.

Putting the map back in her pocket and marched without a word to the location of her target.

The town she came from had told her of a Demon threatening to take over their land recently and had assembled a small troll force for a hostile takeover. Many of the village people had begun packing to move away from the coming band. Trolls around the world are known bottom eaters and have devoured whole settlements. From day one of waking up in the new world, Summer had been going from job to job in town to town fighting monsters. Her weapon, Iron Thorn, the mica shift bastard sword/sniper rifle, had been a deciding factor in the first few battles against the monsters of this world. But without a way to restock her Dust stores, she was down to only one mag filled with what's left of her Dust. She was saving it unless she needs it.

"So, who trained you?"

Summer glanced at her traveling companion, a lightly armored woman. She was maybe half a head taller than Summer, hair brown with a chestnut shined as it weaved around in the ponytail that it was hanging in the back. The woman was a bit younger than her, lean but held a little muscule under the parts of her body that weren't armored. Brown eye's filled with a lust for adventure. She wore a combination of armor made of leather pads and iron plates. Leather shoulder pads with forearm protectors. Plus a loose leather skirt and an iron chest piece. All over green figurines and brown pants and adventure style shoes. Finally, there was the short sword on her hips left side and a draw bow and quiver on her back.

Her name is Anda Tanaka, a traveling adventure that roped her into this little quest.

Summer regarded the woman with a raised eyebrow before answering. "I was self-taught at an early age. Later, when I was old enough, I got into a combat school for a few years."

Anda gave the Huntress look. "Truly? There is a school that teaches women the art of combat?" She asked in wonder.

"There is," Summer said to the girl. "The school's headmaster isn't discriminative to women fighting. During the school's initiation, he said I showed leadership qualities, and when they assigned teams of four, I got picked as the leader of my team."

"That's unheard of in these lands. Your kingdom must be very different from the ones around here," Anda said in slight envy.

'More then you realize,' Summer said to herself. Before she got her current reputation in these lands, more than once, Summer had to put a disrespecting man on his rear. Or put a sexist pig in his place.

Usually, Summer was not a violent person, but thanks to some lessons after breaking out of her shell by her partner Raven in Beacon. Summer would not take such verbal abuse lying down. The female birdbrain of STRQ would be proud of the things she did to them.

After walking for a few more hours of silence, they took a break for lunch. As Anda ate her meal, Summer gave the adventure a few glances while eating her own meal.

The Huntress didn't know why, but she felt the power within her eyes twitch from being around her. That had only happened when she was near an old Grimm. It kinda acted as an early warning detector that had saved her team from time to time. It also helped when she ever encountered her...

Summer mentally banished the image of the woman that was the source of her predicament. From the month's Summer spent in a world without the dark creatures made by the younger brother, none of the monsters of this world gave her this kind of reaction.

'So...what could?' Summer pondered as she pulled out her map.

Looking over the map she got from the towns' guard. Trying to determine how far they needed to go till they to travel. This world's method of measuring distance was different from than of Remnant. Having almost missed a turn if it wasn't for Anda's skill in navigating. If this hunt goes well, Summer may think of taking the young adventure with her. If only to have some to talk to and help navigate the world better.

"How far do you think this troll group is?" Anda asked as she ate her bread.

"If I'm reading the map the town gave us. The scouts reported the Trolls to be here," Summer pointed on the map showing some clifts and ridges overlooking a valley. "The scouts said that they spotted three of them, but that was two days ago."

"They could have moved on for all we know by that time," Anda point out. "Hey, they could leave something behind in their toll hoard!" She said with excitement while Summer gave her a look of confusion.

"Troll hoard?"

"Trolls have a habit of collecting treasure. They tend to accumulate stuff without knowing what it is. When trolls move on to a different area, they often leave things behind."

Summer was again impressed by the young adventurer's knowledge.

The girl could have a promising future as a scholar is she ever settled down. That is if she can play her cards right in a male dominate world.

They quickly finished up their meal and headed out into the valley. The valley itself seemed to have a natural overcast, giving the trees and the surrounding area a mystical look. Further beyond the valley were the telltale signs of rain clouds forming.

When entering the valley, it didn't take long for Sunner to find the tracks the tolls left behind. It was hard not to, having spotted several uprooted trees in a manner that made an improvised path.

'It looks like an Ursa Major came plowing through here.' They followed the tracks and saw the flickering light a fire in the distance and loud broken voices.

Summer motioned her hand down for Anda to crouch. The crept closer to the fire, trying to stay out of the light, and saw their targets.

They stood roughly fifteen feet high and with pale brown skin, wearing rags, pits of plated armor, and smelling something foul, even from this distance.

The three were gathering around their little fire that had a big pot of something, food probably judging the way one was using something to stir the contents. The giant monsters were speaking to one another in a langue Summer didn't recognize. But she understood some words they said and were talking about preferences of food of all things by the sounds of it.

"Summer, look!" Anda whispered/yelled and pointed at something.

Following where her finger was pointing at, Summer spotted something that made her blood run cold.

There not twenty feet away from the trolls, stood a wooden cage. The wooden bars were spread out enough for Summer to see inside clearly.

A single little girl, looking no older than her daughter Yang.

Her raven hair looked ragged and messy from days without washing. Her clothes dirty and rough, probably having been dragged around in captivity. But worse was her green eyes, now big puffy red eyes that looked like they were just out about to run out of tears from crying too much.

They also held fear as great sadness as she looked, not at the captors, but the pot between them. Summer's eye's danced back and forth and but two and two together.

"Anda..." Summer's force was as cold as the northern winter wind of Mantel.

"Summer?"

"We are getting that kid out of here." Summer voice didn't sound like a suggestion, but a statement of fact. Summer didn't even hear the warnings Anda gave as the Huntress walked into the light and towards the trolls.

The job she had now was mute now. It was time to show these dark creatures why they those with eyes of silver.

As she got close, one of the trolls noticed of Summers approach.

"Oi hontum na za!" One with a weird helm said as tt pointed at Summer in its language. The other two followed his finger and saw the Huntress, making all three stand up.

"A human girl?" This one had spike shoulder bad on its left side.

"izg'd bet she'd be nice agh snaag, dhuzud narmok za farmer's wife." That one had an armored chest with human bones on it.

"Death will not be pleasant for you all," Summer declared as she drew Iron Thorn from her place.

"lat khlaar za? a female sha a shapat! lets marr gakh ob to agh urgai to ishi izubu bellys!" Shoulder Spike said as he went to grab her.

Summer made sure he'd regret that.

He screamed as he withdrew his hand, now missing a few digits.

"amat lat!" Weird Helm came at her with the biggest handheld sword Summer has ever seen. She sidestepped it as it came down in an ax men's chop. It missed her and hit the ground. He then went with a low horizontal slice that misses her again as she ducked and stepped to the side when he did another ax chop.

'My turn.' She channeled her Aura to transform Iron Thorn into its bastard sword form. She charged forward and swiped at the creature's ankles, dropping it to one knee. She uses her Aura to strengthen her legs for a made the blade cut into the Troll's shoulder and felt more resistance than she initially expected. But her slice was deep enough for it to drop his weapon.

She landed on the ground and rushed forward, her sword a silver blur. She cut into the thing's legs and lower back multiple times, leaving numerous wounds and blood starting to gush out of the injuries. She finished her assault by running up its side and send a downward thrust right into its neck, severing the spinal collum.

Summer tore Iron Thron from the Weird Helm's spine before jumping off as it's body fall face first. The Huntress landed on her feet, facing the two remaining Trolls. They were stunned by the display that one lonely human could do.

"Who next?" Summer asked in a low voice filled with fury.

Chest Armor roared to the challenge and came running towards Summer with a big round club. Shoulder Spike backing him up with a giant hammer.

The Huntress charged forward, her Aura and Semblance fulling her agility. Summer ducked under Armor Chest's swing with a roll and fled between his legs. She continued the charge by instead attacking Spike Shoulder.

The Trolls were cut off guard by the bold move and was to slow to react to the Huntress moves. Summer also didn't let them make one as she was the one who will decide how this fight was going to happen. She stabbed down on the creature's foot, making Shoulder Spike howl in surprise and pain as it reached down and grabbed its foot.

Armor Chest had made its presence known then as he roared and raised one of his fists. Summer tried to dodge the massive attack but had little room to maneuver. Her Aura took the hit into her shoulder, saving her but couldn't stop her from sending her flying. The red-haired Huntress flew through the trees and into an open field.

"Oh~ I'm going to feel that in the morning," Summer groaned as slowly got back to her feet. The leader of team STRQ never had a big pool of Aura to shield within her life. Choosing to rely on agility and speed to avoid getting hit rather than tanking it as many Huntsman do.

A roar drew her attention to her opponent, Armor Chest marching through the trees towards her, uprooting a few as he moved.

"Alright then, come here. I'm going to teach you the very lesson your mother failed to do," Summer said as she readied Iron Thorn.

The Troll reared up its club before bringing it down on top of her. Summer sidestep the incoming attack before bringing her sword in an over-shoulder chop down on the shaft of the Trolls club, breaking it. The Troll stared dumbly at its now ruined weapon.

The angle and how low the trolls head allowed Summer to do more damage. Rearing back, she brought her sword forward into the creature's left eye. The Troll shrieked in pain as it grasped its injured eye. Seeing it blind, Summer pressed the attack. Semblance fulling her speed to disappear in a trail of rose petals trailed in her wake. She then reappeared behind the Troll, bring iron Thorn at the back of his legs. Her sword carved through the creature's muscles, bending the leg forward and forcing down on its hands and knees.

Summer momentarily disappeared from the visible eye again, reappearing this time on Armor Chest back. She then jumped up and spun her sword down in a slash down on the Troll's neck.

She jumped back to avoid the blood spray, and the thing gave a gurgling wail as it tried to close its bleeding neck. It choked once, twice, three times before what remained of its strength gave out before falling dead on the ground.

The last one appeared then, and if glares could kill, Summer would be a stain in the grass.

"izg"ll azat lat!" It roared in anger and started to lurch forward, hampered by its wounds.

"Time to stop playing games then..." Summer flicked some of the blood of Iron Thorn as she readied her next attack. She thought it was time to show this monster why she earned her spot as one of the most elite Huntresses of Remnant. She focused her Aura, and a bit of her silver Aura well, into Iron Thorn before releasing it by slashing at the air in front of her. From her sword burst out waves of Aura that collided with the Troll's body, slicing it into many different pieces.

Summer smirked at my work as she looked at the dead Trolls. WHat she used few could, as Aura manipulation of that scale, was done only by the very best Huntsman and warriors of her world. Doing something like that was not easy to do nor easily obtained. It took years of training and dedication to reach this level of Aura control. She also had not found the time to exercise the power contained within her eyes. Having stretched them now made her feel a bit better about the situation.

"Now then..." Summer turned to the direction of her current objective before stopping halfway. There at the top of the hill stood her companion Anda with a hand on the girl's back.

Now usually, Summer would sigh in relief that she got the innocent out of danger. Job well done in all that. That was when the feeling in her eyes came back, warning her of the threat of elder Grimm. Summer frowned; there was no Grimm in this world, and the looks of fear on the little girl's face made her dought that.

"Well done, Summer," Anda said in a tone of voice that sound way to please in herself. A far cry from what it was earlier when they met. "You have exceeded all my expectations and then some. You indeed very unique it made me almost question if you really are human."

That line struck a chord within her. Something was wrong here. "What is this, Anda? What kind of expectations?" Summer asked.

'Anda' now held a sadistic grin. "Oh~ Summer, I'm so glad I met you."

She fixed the Huntress a stare that unnerved her. Which in and itself was not something one can easily accomplish with Summer. Anda walked down the hill, the girl, following reluctantly as she was gently pushed along.

"What are you doing, Anda?" Summer asked as the feeling in her eyes grew.

"Why ever do you mean?" The adventure asked sweetly.

"The fact that your acting like a classic villain from a storybook certainly has me wondering."

Anda blinked a few times before bursting out laughing. "Really?! That certainly is a first. But with how strong you are and how you handled those trolls, I bet you this isn't your first time, is it?" She asked, still chuckling at the end.

"A traveling companion I just met betraying me at the end of a joint mission? No, but you're not wrong about me dealing with people the likes of you." A certain blackeyed woman and a wizard had come to mind. "But let us not play baby games anymore."

Summer raised Iron Thorn in a high guard position. Its blade's tip pointing directly at her now, former companion. "Who are you, and what are you planning with us?"

Anda raised an eyebrow. "Us?"

"You're after me, I gathered that, but what about the girl?" Summer said as she readied for any attack.

"Oh, you're still thinking about this little ball of joy?" Anda patted the girl's head, making her whimper in fear. This made Summer glare dangerously at the woman and grip her weapon tighter. "Well, truthful, I didn't have plans for dear little Bella here. I came across her and her family a week ago to help with my plan. Their purpose was to keep those trolls I gathered occupied and fed until I brought you here. The Trolls told me they will eat two members of the family a day. From oldest to youngest till there was none left. We obviously must have gotten here before they could get to her."

Summer wasn't a violent person by nature, but she never wanted to kill someone more than this one. Anda trailed her finger down to her below her chin. The child, Bella, her eyes never left Summer. Silently pleading Summer for rescue and safety. Up until Anda brought a finger down and brought the child's head to face the evil women.

"You have been a strong girl, Bella. Having watched your father, five brothers, and a mother that was with a child must be horrifying. It would leave most in a blundering mess at the end." The images that Summer envision od was not for the fate of heart. "But not you, that says a lot, your a survivor, so no, you will die by my hand this day, little one."

She cupped her chit to where they were now looking directly at each other, and Summer got a bad feeling about what was about to happen. "Instead, I shall bestow upon you a gift." She before glancing back at Summer, "the same gift I'm going to give to you Summer."

Summer definitely didn't like the sound of that and chose now to intervene, but found herself unable to move her body.

"W-what?" Summer struggled.

"Just stay like that, my friend. I'll be with you soon." Anda said sweetly. It was then that Summer noticed the purple glow of her hand.

Magic. The Huntress struggled against her invisible binds and watched as Anda crouched down to Bella's hight.

"Be of good cheer, my child, for you about to receive a gift, few do."

And Anda connected her lips to Bella into a full-blown kiss.

Summer and the kid were blown by this. What kind of sick joke this woman was playing at?

It was there that Summer saw a strange dark purple Aura surround the two. First, it was Anda that was covered in it before it spread to Bella, and then the child started to tremble, fear plastered on her face.

They parted, mouths opened with purple magic flowing from Anda to Bella. The magic soon stopped flowing form the older woman before disappearing into the child. Bella convulsed one before falling to the ground clutching her chest and getting into the field position.

W-wha-at the h-hell?" Summer grunted through her teeth.

"You see, Summer. A long time ago, I had a craving for adventure. I never lied about that, even after years, I still crave for the unknown. One day after finishing another adventure, I decided to split off from a group of other fellow travelers to explore on my own. After a few weeks of traveling on my own, I stumbled across an old fortress in the eastern mountains of Excuse, a place once called 'Buzuq.' There it stood high in the harsh climate, braving strongly against the elements." Anda explained.

She then turned to her. "I had only heard of the place through whispers and tales, but everyone knew it existed. Inside told a treasure like no other for only those worthy enough to brave the journey there."

Anda reached her and traced two fingers on Iron Thorn's blood-covered blade. "Like the many before me, I prepared for the journey. Using all the knowledge I gathered from other adventures, the route I would take to the fortress would take me a week to get to."

She pulled her hand back and rubbed her two fingers with her thumb as she examined the troll blood on her fingers. "Oh~ how wrong I was. What I was as I ran out of food on the tenth day, and took me another two days of pushing through five feet of snow." The blood evaporated into a black mist a few moments later.

"Hungry and frostbitten, I entered at my own risk as I had come too far to fail." purple mist swirled her hand.

Anda then looked Summer squared in the eye. "It was then I was founded by the forts sole occupant. A demon." Anda's hand then began to transform.

The woman's hand began to change color. From the pale pinkish skin to blue, nails colored red and lengthening to an inch long. The chestnut brown hair she had darkened, giving her a more dangerous look. Black curved horns grew on her head into a crown-like fashion. Then were her eyes, gone was the brown eyes that once held the taste for adventure, now the iris was red with black sclera. Finally, came the emergence of large bat-like wings sprouting from her back along with a long black tail that ended in a spade.

Summer could only stay there in disbelieve as the transformation happen. "What the hell are you?" She said with a whisper.

"I am Anda Tanaka, I never falsified my name. The demon in Buzuq gave me this gift for my journey to prove I am worthy. Many had perished beneath the snow and ice on the route I took, but I survived. That was nearly eighty years ago, and I still relish the power given to me."

Anda trailed a hand over Summer's chin. "The same gift I will give to you." A soft sobbing laugh quickly drew the Huntress and Demons attention away from each other an back to the little girl, Bella. "Oh~ it seems my gift to her is finally taken hold. Let's watch," She purred with excitement while Summer watched in horror.

A wicked aura surrounded Bella as she laid on the ground. They could see the girl's skin turning blue, her hair bleaching to a silvery gray. Then came the black bat wings with a long tail that ends in the shape of an arrow. By then, the girl was laughing hysterically as she got on her feet and turning to her with a wide fang grin. Her eyes shown red with black sclera wanderlust. Instead of horns like Anda, she had little bat-like wings on the top of her forehead. Summer also noted the fresh tears coming down.

"What is with me?" Bella said.

"You have been reborn, child. You've now become something better then you can dream of. I will be with you in a moment to show you the pleasures it can grant you." Anda promised before she turned to a horror-stricken Summer.

Summer tried resting the magic that bound her place once more, but could not find it in her self to move. She worked even harder when she felt Anda's hands, cupping her cheeks and bringing her face to face with the monster.

Summers's silver eyes were locked in with Anda's red.

"Summer, join with me."

And they kissed.

It didn't take long for Summer's body to react with the wicked power that was invading her. It was like a cold chill was trying to enter her body without passing through the skin. The Huntress focused on her Aura as it was her very soul to push it out. It was then Anda broke the kiss and released Summer from her magic spell, falling to her hands and knees, grasping the ground.

"It will pass, my dear. The more you resist, the more painful it would become," Anda said as she took a few steps back and turned to Bella. "While we wait, let me help you now, Bella, my little Devil."

Summer could barely hear her as she tried to fight back the invading magic within her. Her soul was on the line here, and she focused the very thing that made her unique being attacked.

Her anger came back with a vengeance for this woman as she grips Iron Thorn, raising it and planting her into the ground. Using it for support, she got a leg up under her. Looking at her target, she pulled herself on her feet. She had one shot at this, Summer would be dammed if she messed this up, and brought Iron Thorn up to play.

Bella took not of Summer situation and gasp, causing Anda to take notice and turn back to Summer with renewed interest.

"Oh my, what are you planning to do with that, Summer?" Anda said.

"That comes...next," She grunted in reply as she focused everything into her eyes.

Anda saw her eyes flash white with a silver shine. Before she could say an incantation, the whole valley was bathed in light. The Demon and Devil screamed in pain as the light touched their skin. When the light faded, Summer felt some of her strength return, having pushed the darkness back for now, but she could still feel it inside.

Looking over at her target of rage. Anda was now on her hands and knees with Bella having been blown on her back. Both breathing hard and having trails of white vaper coming off them.

Summer looked at them with pity until she saw Anda trying her hardest to get her feet under her. When she did, she was on shaky legs.

BANG!

And Anda fell back on her knees as she stared as the hole where her heart was supposed to be. She looked up just in time for Summer's sword to cleave through her neck, sending her head rolling away.

The Huntress was quick and would not give a moment for the monster to recover.

Breathing hard, Summer felt the wicked power within spreading again, a bit slower, but spreading nonetheless. She could already feel something shifting beneath the skin in her back.

A small gasp tore her attention of her headless enemy to the little Devil on the ground.

"What's happening? Bella said, her voice shrouded in pain. Looking closer, her right eye was now back to its old green hue. They soon found each other as Summer stood over the child, before kneeling down and pulling the child up to a hug.

"I am so sorry this has happened to you," tears flowing out of her eyes. Summer then felt tiny arms hug her back.

"It ok, miss. You didn't know," Summer felt the child pull away from her and gave her a sad smile. "I..I would like to see Momma and Poppa again. I miss my brothers. Can I go with them? Will you help, please," She asked.

Summer was shaken to the core. This girl was just like Summer. She wanted her family, but they were in another world like hers. She was being turned into a Demon against her will like herself. But what this girl was asking Summer to do is something she hoped never to do. This girl was pleading Summer to end her life to be with her family or live eternity as a Devil.

Summer gave a small nod, and the Huntress clenched her teeth, hard, as she withdrew a dagger from her belt. Letting it hover to the side where the second and third rib lay.

"Are you ready?" Summer asked the girl. Bella gave the woman a sad smile before nodding.
