Steve and Junko finished their training and were walking through the village looking for a sweets restaurant. in the search Steve accidentally bumped into a young woman, somebody whom the two of them have met before.

"I'm sorry, i wasn't watching were i was going." Steve said to the woman

There was a flare of red around the man's frame.
I'd get her some ice cream if you know what's good for you...

He didn't want to be in her company more than he had to.
"No... no it's fine, you get what you think I'll like," he smiled again, leaning against the wall...

As if in contrast, the ring glowed bright for a few seconds as if agreeing...

Thera smiled warmly, and bowed to Beelzenef. "No need to apologize." She said, as she rose to her feet, and began to collect her things, as Reikai crowed overhead. Thera looked up at the sky, and took in a deep breath of fresh air. 'My first fight, and I just barely survived it.' She thought to herself. 'Perhaps I should have waited.'

Thera looked at Beelzenef. "Oh, I apologize, my name is Thera." She replied with a smile. "Again, thank you so much for your help Beelzenef."

He waited, wondering how long she'd scream for once he finally cut her throat with razored flames...

The ring seemed to warm her neck as it hung there, making her ribbon lightly blaze with a bright crimson fire that illuminated her face. It seemed to glow brighter the more of her it touched...

I'm sorry, my love... now what do you want to do?

Steve and Junko decided to split up and search the village to search for other people they knew in the village. Junko traveled in the direction of Ty and trinity while Steve wandered around and came across Ayase

Junko approached Trinity from behond and tapped her on the shoulder

"Hey Trinity, it's good to see you again. Remember me?" Junko said cheerfully

Steve saw Ayase sitting on a bench with a silly look on her face. He approached her and said "How ya doin Ayase?"

The feeling intensified, and started to creep in between her legs...

I'm good with doing this all day... if there are no objections?

He noticed the man approaching, and reluctantly crept out of her legs, his longing evident in the slowness with which he retreated...

He smiled back at her, then turned to go.
"Good. I'm ready too. Let's go then."
It occurred to him that he was probably arousing her suspicions, but he didn't really care - she started anything and he would char the flesh from her bones...
A new woman appeared and he tensed, wondering if his cover was blown, almost wanting it to be so he could just kill them both...

Zerron kept his distance as he watched Ty's actions. his bracelet was still hot.
Hmm, I really wonder whats up? I can think of a thousand things this demon could do or have planned... If only sean where here... I better keep my eye on ty and trinity.
he waited out front as trinity and ty shopped.

A flash of crimson appeared just outside of town as Sean appeared. the red lights lingered for a little then vanished.
"I'm really starting to like this power, and it looks cool as well."
You can feel the power too, can't you?
"yes, I can. now to see what kind of chaos i can cause."
he smiled as he walked into the village.
