"Child, I believe if you wish to leave unharmed without ceasing this behavior, now is your time. Firstly, necromancy and rebirth don't mix because they don't overlap. Neither is a 'dark magic' or 'holy power', simply manipulations of the dead. Secondly, did you miss the part where I carved out most of this fortress, and the fact that the seal isn't cursed at all; I placed it there to keep idiots like you out. Thirdly, I am ages and eons older than you, and spent much of that time in combat. If you wish to threaten me not only on my sacred ground, but in my own home, you must be aware that you will die trying." After Ash stops talking, Crimson hears an echoing command in his head, simply stating "cease" over and over and over.

Crimson sighed and threw his hands up childishly. "Fair point, but it's still an odd combination. And I'm not going to bring in age here because clearly you're old. Though what does intrigue me is this seal. It radiates a curse-like energy to me at least, so that's why I wondered if it kept you out. And lastly..." Crimson stopped and heard the words ringing in his head and he closed his eyes and grumbled a bit. "You're not the only one who has died time and time again..." he whispered to Ash, looking at him with eyes almost a flaming gold and smiling at him brightly before walking out the cave and tripping on the ground and falling face flat into the dirt and cursing.

Time snickers uncharacteristically at Crimson falling.

Crimson rolls over and looks at Time and sits up. "Thanks for the help!"

Ash snickers too, and then shifts back into their primary form. He's still likely taller than the other two, but by much less. "Perhaps you should stay, I've got spare rooms and a wash room for your clothes and yourself."
Offline
"You're kidding right? I thought you didn't want us here..."
Offline
"I don't want fools that believe themselves above being wrong. If you can accept that your assumptions are flawed and rooted in things that do not fit this place at best, you can stay until the rain stops."

"This is a joke right? How was I supposed to know that a daemon was here?"
Offline
"There isn't one."
Offline
"Clearly I'm looking at it....oh wait, I'm blind. HOW WOULD I KNOW WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE?! ALL I SEE IS A DAMN DAEMON AURA!"
Offline
Time scratches the back of his head, "You sure? Maybe you're mistaking his aura for a different type. Ash is a newly reformed deity after all."
Offline
Crimson tuned his head at Time and huffed. "Take note that I'm not from here, so of course it's going to be different."
Offline
"Then perhaps you shouldn't be applying your biases to this world."
Offline
"How else am I supposed to make sense of travelling to another godforsaken world?!" Crimson snapped.
Offline
"You learn about the other world." Time taps his head like it's obvious.
Offline
Crimson sighs in defeat and sits down on the ground. "Then enlighten me O god of Time." he said, almost sarcastically.
Offline
"I believe it might be better to learn through experience rather than being told. It would certainly teach more than a story or list of facts of this world."
Offline
"Sure." Time agrees with Ash, "Whatever is the best way to learn."
Offline
"....that's a joke right? WHAT DO YOU THINK I WAS PLANNING ON DOING IN THE FIRST PLACE?!" Crimson roared and groaned. "You lot are insane...."
Offline
"If it was what you intended to do, why did you ask Time for the knowledge? Truly, your method of showing your intent is far from perfect."
Offline
"I outta stab you right here and now if you're such a wise guy!" Crimson unsheathed his sword and pointed it at Ash.
Offline
"Prove that you can, and I might let you." Ash shifts his feet to a more readied stance, although they otherwise don't much.
Offline
"Don't...it's a waste...they are not ready..." A voice rang in Crimson's mind. He froze and stabbed his sword into the ground and sat back down silently. ''No. Its unwise to fight." Crimson told Ash. ''You're a daemon, I've no quarrel with you as of right now, so there is no reason to fight here. Please excuse my sudden outburst...''
Offline
"Already learning." Time jokes with a small smile.
Offline
Crimson gave Time a menacing look. "Shut up."
Offline
"Say, why do you keep calling me a daemon? I'm clearly not one, and yet you still refer to me as such."
Offline
"Your aura. It's not normal by my worlds standards. Daemons are those who have a different aura that feeds off blood and sometimes emotions. I am well aware that you're not a daemon, but I have no other word to describe what you are in this form. I do not mean anything by my words, just a way for me to understand. Do you have a preferred name of kin besides your own name?"
Offline
"I feed off neither blood nor emotion. It sounds like a vampire. I'd say the closest thing of this world to my appearance would be the gargoyles."
Offline
"I would appreciate it if you listened to me Ash. I already said I know you're not a daemon. Therefore I've ruled out that. Please do not make me repeat myself."
