Demetrias was no longer cloaked, as he had gone for so long; he wore his traditional attire, though Basel and Nefarian remained shrouded in their black and grey cloaks. Imeroth stood by, staying silent as Madara asked his question; and it was Demetrias, his own Sharingan still activated, to...

"The living...here?" It was a ragged, but alarmed, voice that echoed through the chasm. A chasm that, as time passed and the screeches from beneath the metal plating grew louder, progressively fell further into darkness. While the plating reacted to their presence, so too did the voices. In the...

It wasn't just symbols of varying names of Irkalla that were inscribed on the walls. Throughout were other small runes, carved into the stone that supported the titanic chasm beneath the surface of the Threshold. Each rune was small, no more than the size of a thumb and written in a language...

The ancient stone doors reacted to the presence of Kuniumi, rumbling with activity before the sealing mechanism finally giving way and opening. Despite how the ancient Sunlit Forge appeared from the outside, the inside was remarkably clean and sterile. Grey stone bricks lined the entrance...

"Good. Very good." The Spider was pleased with Emiya's progress, though he made no motion to take the bust of Solomon as King of Israel from him. "You will deliver that bust to the Mage King. To remind him that we are still friends and allies in all of this. It has been so very long since I have...

"Well, what's your report on your missions." It was somewhat of a rhetorical question; the Spider had assets following Emiya throughout the Ninja World, keeping track on his progress. But he wanted to hear what the soon-to-be swordsmith had to say. Once you've told me everything we can move onto...

"Come, Emiya." It was nothing more than a small, meek whisper from the Spider's headquarters. "The Spider wishes to see you now." It was the same small human that had called in Hei earlier; an individual responsible for managing the Spider's teleportation network. But only with an invitation...

"Good. I'm glad that you are a cooperative asset." He leaned back in his throne, his inhuman body stretching back somewhat. "Very good. Very good, indeed. A defector exists among Phetra's ranks. A lone soul that believes Irkalla, the Underworld, has turned into a place of evil manipulations...

The Spider blinked twice, puzzled by the series of questions. "Well...yes. That's what it means when she disrupted the entire continent." It felt weird to have to state the obvious. But the other questions were even more bizarre. Other events seemingly unconnected that, even if they were...

"I'm glad you decided to take my invitation." The words came from deeper in the chamber as Hei made his way through the teleporter. "I've always wanted my own champion. So useful." He snorted and laughed, leaning back in his chair as the Spider crossed his arms. "My resources are stretched thin...

"You are to come next." The voice was silent, coming from a small head peeking out from behind a door where many others had disappeared down. It was Hei's turn to visit the infamous black market mastermind, the Spider. "Be respectful, but the Spider has been anticipating your arrival. He has a...

The answer was simple, but so complex at the same time. "Weapons, tools, or artifacts? No. I know nothing of the sorts." Was it a lie? Yes. But it was not information that Alucard was entitled to, even in a meeting with the Spider. It was another's task to find these weapons, and one that only...

Lady Aria blinked twice, looking at Lucifer with a modicum of surprise. "The tree speaks to us, just as it does you. What it meant to tell you I couldn't explain. Its message is different for everyone that hears it. But each is intended for a specific person's ears, and only theirs. It is...

The Spider took a moment to ponder his request, sitting back in his throne and pausing a moment while he scratched the bottom of his chin. "The undead scourge that occupied Tobusekai was commanded by the Voidlord Phetra. Someone far beyond your own capabilities." He laughed slightly before...

Lady Aria remained silent, observing what happened as Lucifer's palm made contact. The Grovetenders were equally as focused, following their Lady's example as if waiting for some miracle to take place spontaneously. And for a few moments it seemed as if nothing would happen, but soon the...

The Spider burst out into laughter at Alucard's inquiry; "Bahahah. A real hero, this one." He motioned around the room, encouraging his soldiers, enforcers, and spies to join in on the commotion. As loyal followers they did just that. "Okay, okay. Enough. Your request is bizarre. What curse? We...

Yet another guest in his chambers; never before had the Spider seen so many guests and visitors in such a short amount of time. As Alucard followed one of his best assassins into the chambers the colossal inhuman creature raised one of his many hands to just under his chin, scratching it. "And...

"I have only heard legends of two of what you require. The shard of a chasm...perhaps that comes from somewhere in the West. In the Ruins of Chungsu my hands found documents that noted of mysterious ruins in the far west. As for the Twin Fates.... My knowledge of them is even less than that of...

Another steward of the Spider's came out, this time a young human woman. Though she hardly looked helpless, armed to the teeth with a variety of weapons and munitions. "You there..." She said firmly, pointing toward Alucard. "You know the fee. If you pay it, you can come with me." She turned...

It was indeed a mysterious tree indeed. The longer that Lucifer remained transfixed on it, the more alluring it seemed to become. It wasn't enough to simply describe the tree as Void-touched. It was something more, something deeper. As if it actually originated from the Void itself. After an...
