[glow=red,2,300]Chapter 6: The Throne as a Throne[/glow]
Samrick's castle, A grand structure with many public restrooms for some unknown reason. This grand structure can hold demons of gargantuan proportions and yet always seems to have human-sized visitors.
On this particular day two shorties in raincoats (well if that ain't a 'dead' giveaway) were paying a visit and making one demon king very uncomfortable as he hid under his thrones great seat cushion thinking how he shouldn't have had spicy hot wings for dinner the other day.
"Oh Sammy, I know you're here so be a dear and show yourself before I rehash that scenario in Arizona." Zeryn pulled her hood back when she entered the throne room her accomplice followed fumbling with his too-big-for-him raincoat.
Sammy to the prior option of showing himself by growing to his larger size. "What do you want? Just spit it out and go."
"Sammy thats mean. Dontcha remember the good times when you viciously pounded my skull against that boulder to no avail." Zeryn giggled as though that were a pleasant thought.
"Do you want to relive that scene?" Samrick huffed glaring at the girl.
"Fine spoilsport. Just stay out of my way for the remainder of my visit. I don't care how bad it makes you look I'll make you look worse if you bother me." Zeryn stomped on the floor creating a rather large crack in the marble flooring.
With that the two shorties in raincoats walked out the door leaving the Demon king by himself to think about how he wished his throne was attached to the plumbing network.

[glow=red,2,300]Chapter 7: Attention for McNixon or Let Us Hope this Guest is Temporary[/glow]
It was the night of the fourth day since the grave robbery. Kavonn, Tony, and Hex were on their way back to the cabin after another unsuccessful hunt. Charby had been with them but went to check in on Victor relaying the news of this fiendish raincoat wearing attacker to his friends long ago. so it's anyones guess why the powerful demons are all away from the cabin and those that were less likely to be able to defend themselves but planning for the unforeseen enemy isn't everyones strong suit eh?
A short yellow eyed demon in a raincoat hopped onto a tree laughing at the trio and jumped away along the dirt path with said trio in hot pursuit.
The fun pressed on as the demon was joined by his partner whom of which had her hood down letting her hair toss in the wind. "Run, run as fast as you can, Kavonn is a wuss and does the cancan!"
Kavonn abruptly stopped and started scratching his head. Tony and Hex, too focused on catching the raincoat duo, leaving him in the dust. Kavonn sighed and teleported straight to the cabin.
Once at the cabin Kavonn Sat by the door leaning against the wall. These vampire powers were quite handy.
About five minutes later the duo in raincoats and their pursuers (and a nice trail of destruction) had finally reached the cabin. And so the journey came to an end with Hex, Tony, and Zeno (still has his hood up) tied is chains.
Zeryn had managed to dodge the chains altogether and proceeded to hug Kavonn. "Hi Kavonn. Long time so see. You have shiny vampire fangs now! Whose your sire? Is she as cute as me? Did you miss me? Can I have a muffin? Why are you guys so glum? Do you wanna see your surprise?"
Kavonn thought a moment. "Alright in the same order asked: Hello Zeryn, it has indeed been a long time, Rosemary, I'm afraid to answer that one, I did miss you a bit, we don't have any muffins, or friends grave was robbed, and whats your surprise?"
Zeryn gave Kavonn a cheesy grin and pulled Zeno's hood back. "Surprise! It took me a moment to remember who used that type of warding spell but I remembered eventually and also i had to tell Samrick to back off cause he's just gonna ruin my fun if I don't and those pesky Demon Hunters kept checking out the graveyard so I had to scare them off and it's about thirty seconds till the storms hit."
During the long winded speech Zeno found himself hugged and dragged inside while Zeryn and Kavonn talked.
"For safeties sake you and Zeno should lose the raincoats. Charby's out for blood against the one that hurt the hunters." Kavonn looked up as the rain started to pour down. "So it's still following you?"
"Well it wasn't for a while than my sweet Tabiris got his gems blown to bits. So I'm on the search again and I think it's somewhere here so I wanted to catch up with you." Zeryn laughed sitting on the porch. "Besides the rain is beautiful."
Zeryn absentmindedly started singing lullabies watching the rain.
"Zeryn, maybe you should come inside for a bit. We know where Tabiris died. We can show you later." Kavonn put his arm on Zeryn's shoulder. After about a minute Zeryn took Kavonn's hand and followed him inside like a lost child being led by a security guard.

[glow=red,2,300]Chapter 8: Fang you for a Nice Meal[/glow]
“Oh it’s so bland here. There’s a veritable hodgepodge of demons, demon kin, and the like and yet it’s so boring. I wanna play in the rain.” Zeryn was running around the cabin bored out of her mind still wearing her raincoat with Mye and Zeno chasing after her.
“You can’t go outside! Kavonn said no!” Mye waved her arms about wishing she still had that green alp hat.
“Kavonn says a lot of things!” Zeryn ran for the door, however, she suddenly stopped. “What is that heavenly smell? Where is it coming from?”
Zeryn ran all around the entire of the cabin searching the entirety of it from top to bottom apparently not finding what she was looking for based on the pout she wore on her face. She sighed and moved to sit on the couch. “Just more blood. Why must I sense that which is untouchable?”
“What are you talking about?” Mye sat by Zeryn tilting her head.
“Oh nothing. You smell like gummy bears you know.” Zeryn chuckled and hopped of the couch moving for the door. Before Mye could even say anything Zeryn froze up and started to twitch.
After many spasms and twitches Zeryn jumped at Mye only to have Zeno tackle her from the side. A spin and crash into the wall later and Zeryn was quite unconscious.

[glow=red,2,300]Chapter 9: Coating the Fear[/glow]
“Uhhhhnnnn…” Zeryn was in a dark place. There were lab tools everywhere. She told herself it was the basement not her temple. She’d never see that temple again and that suited her just fine.
Looking at herself she found herself in a straitjacket; she shrugged that though off carelessly looking at the base of the coat to look at her raincoat, only, it wasn’t there. Frowning she checked to see if the hood was there, it wasn’t. “Raincoat?”
“Oh you’re awake. Now that you’re awake perhaps you’ll tell me why you attempted to attack my sister.” Hexavier crouched over Zeryn.
“Where’s my raincoat? I need my raincoat. The rains following me again! Where’s my raincoat?” Zeryn looked around frantically ignoring Hex’s existence completely.
“You can have your raincoat back when I determine that you’re safe to be around.” Hexavier stepped back a few paces watching Zeryn move around failing to get anywhere.
“No! Raincoat! Raincoat?! Where’s my raincoat? Raincoat! Raincoat! Raincoat!” Zeryn began to cry out ‘raincoat’ over and over again slamming her head into the wall each time.
“Stop it you’re going to hurt yourself!” Hexavier tried to grab Zeryn to calm her down but that didn’t help she justs threw him off. Hex got up angrily and went back to his work. “Fine, be that way.”
“I said…” Zeryn managed to stand herself up. “I want…” A light brightened the room and dimmed. Hex looked back at Zeryn. The sleeves of her straitjacket were burned to nothing. The back of the jacket was stretching slowly before it burst letting a large pair of wings burst out their wingspan was about twice Zeryn’s height with a dark purple membrane between each wing’s 5 wing digits. “My raincoat!” Zeryn leaned back releasing jets of flame from her mouth sending them into the basement ceiling; the sheer heat of the flames incinerated her eye patch. Locking eyes with Hex he could see both her eyes; her right eye was blood red with a little black circle in it something akin to a pupil; after a moment it became more like a serpents pupil, to mirror her right eye her left gained a serpentine yellow pupil.
“Oh, shi…” Hexavier became something of a rag doll as Zeryn slammed him back and forth with no quarter whatsoever.
Eventually she slammed him to the ground and sat on him breathing heavily, flames exiting her mouth with each breath. She took a deep breath; Hex closed his eyes sure the end was here and then… Klong! Hex opened his eyes to witness Zeryn fall to the side flames licking her face hungrily as she sighed back into unconsciousness.
“I guess she was more attached to that raincoat then I figured. Are you alright Hex?” Kavonn extended a hand to Hex.
“I thought you were at Zerlocke’s again.” Hex took Kavonn’s hand pulling himself up.
“I was. But Zeryn’s power is strong enough to reach that far.” Kavonn materialized another eye patch on Zeryn. “I’d put her raincoat on before she wakes if I were you.” Kavonn tipped his hat to Hex and vanished.

[glow=red,2,300]Chapter 10: Dreams of a Child[/glow]
The darkness, the darkness, a pungent stench of decay, a dead servant, some rats that were leftovers from a meal five years ago. Twenty novels each read thrice over. Her temple, her prison.
20 years spent in isolation. The servant didn't even last the first month. She was trapped here because she wasn't strong enough to control herself, her desires, her hunger.
She swore to no more being trapped here. She had prepared a last ditch effort for escape. She needed to be free of this cage, of the goddesses bound to her soul.
The ritual started normally but quickly corrupted. Two great portals opened ripping her and four gods across the astral barriers of the dimension. Then Rain.
Rain was all around her. It spoke to her, crying to be brought back to light. The rain was cold and unceasing, crying for for retribution. After years of isolation she finally had company, yet, she wanted to be alone.
Then a tutting about how it was improper for a lady to be out in the rain without a proper raincoat from a diminutive fellow with a fancy hat. He selflessly provided a raincoat for her. He was charming enough. Endeared she pursued him for a year before finally leaving him be to put the rain to rest.
So she had and left the one that commanded the rain on his own. Again she was alone, but, she was free. She shed her raincoat for a minute but found she couldn't rid herself of it and kept it.
Zeryn awoke surrounded by the faces of zombies, an alp, and a scotodino. "What do you want?"
"You talk in your sleep." Zeno pulled Zeryn up to a sitting position.
"What of it?" Zeryn yawned and stretched checking herself. She had her raincoat but her eye patch was a little snug.
"Well first you were talking about a temple or prison, then rain, then freedom. You mentioned your raincoat and Kavonn too." Mye sat by Zeryn. "So was any of that true?"
"What? You mean that twenty years of my life were stolen from me; that Tabiris is the cause of the rain and is calling for resurrection; that Kavonn was the first person in 22 miserable years to every show unconditional kindness; that I'm a half-dragon, half-drow freak of nature; or perhaps you're referring to the three goddesses that are fixated to my soul; that my whole life has been one cosmic @%ing joke?! Zeryn looked up at the ceiling laughing on the outside, crying on the inside.
"Ok I think she needs some space." Zeno and Tony backed away slowly.
"No. It's fine. I just needed to vent." Zeryn dusted herself off a bit.
"You loved Kavonn didn't you?" Mye put a hand on Zeryn's shoulder.
"Maybe. He was my first friend here and one of only two people in my life that were ever unconditionally nice to me." Zeryn smiled softly.
"I'd say you love him considering how you nearly killed me over that raincoat." Hex crossed his arms.
"Really? I was hoping that was a dream. Oh well. You're standing so no harm done." Zeryn shrugged.
"Thats all you have to say?" Hex glared.
"You shouldn't have taken it from me. I mean seriously I don't take it off except to clean myself or it so it's kind of obvious I'm fond of it." Zeryn waved off Hex's attitude with a careless quality.
Hex slapped himself in the face for just realizing this possibility. "Ok so why did you attack my sister?"
"Cause she smells of gummy bears. Or rather her blood does." Zeryn looked at Mye for a moment and back to Hex.
"Why should that matter? Was it offense to the scent or are you a vampire or something?" Hex tilted his head failing miserably at wrapping his head around this girl.
"Nope. But I do have super strong senses. You're blood smells like ashes, Zeno's a graveyard, Tony's a nice German Pastry." Zeryn giggled softly. "Kavonn's blood smells like an old hat."
"You're very childish." Hex shook his head.
"Well I'm only 87 years old." Zeryn laughed.
