Axl lands in the Kingdom of Darkness, a place only those without a soul can visit, a place ruled by the gods of darkness, where death reeks in the air, and painful screams can be heard in the distance. Although Axl has managed to avoid this horrible place for centuries, now that Camille has made her choice, now is his turn to make things clear. The God of Water makes his way to the main castle where the Great Goddess of Evil and Death waits for him. Sitting on her throne of thorns and sharp spears while her spectrums crawl to adore her feet. Four angels of death protect her from within the shadows as Axl enters the room. Immediately kneeling before his mother to show respect and reverence as her title deserves, Axl bows his head to greet her. "Mother." Unfortunately for the goddess, this is the only type of respect her son expresses for her.

She observes him for a quick moment. Although she knows the reason for his visit, she decides to express his resolve. "What an honor. My son. The prideful Golden God of Water finally has the decency to pay a visit to his mother." The Great Goddess of Evil and Death greets her son with a cynic tone that irritates him, but he can't fail. Her stone-cold eyes narrowed as she searches for a hint of weakness, but as expected, she sees nothing in his eyes. She smirks with pleasure to always see him resembling her dark side more.

"No need for formalities, mother. You know why I am here." He replies with disinterest. Axl is determined to not be part of her games, but this time is a little more complicated for him since Camille's horrifying experiences are thanks to his mother.

"I can say, I am stunned to see you have wasted no time in showing up. Should I be grateful to her?" The goddess asks with a cold grim that could freeze anyone but not him. Axl knows his mother better than anyone. He has been a lifelong victim of her sick obsession for power. To manipulate and push him around to her convenience only to wake up his inherited darkness. A part of him that Axl suppresses at all costs. Even if it means he has to put up with the great goddess' frivolous methods of action. The Great Goddess of Evil and Death is someone that takes advantage of every chance she gets to torment him and force him to unleash his evil side.

"Camille, is it? What a beautiful name. What do you think, Beldurra?" The Goddess of Fear appears behind a curtain of crows. Axl doesn't seem surprised to feel the diabolic energy Beldurra's presence carries.

"Ah, of course..." she says with a prideful look in her stone-cold eyes. She stands closer to Axl, but he refuses to acknowledge her.

"Was it you this time?" Axl asks, not bothering to take her bite by having Beldurra in front of him. Axl has grown immune to the heartless methods the great goddess uses to manipulate him. Using his weak points to punish him for the pleasure of seeing him flinch while trying to stay emotionless, forcing him to see Beldurra, someone Axl despises only to remind him that she has the power to give him what he wants the most. But, all the God of Water feels for his mother is empathy. For someone that surpasses the perfection of any being in the galaxies, there's something that the Great Goddess of Evil and Death will never feel; his love and respect.

"Spare me the pity, like I spare yours." The great goddess interrupts his thoughts as she rises to her feet. A strong scent of brimstone takes over the air, something that would suffocate anyone, but Axl stands still. "I remember clearly the last time I saw you. You looked at me with those beautiful eyes he gave you. That expressionless face that I love so much, you were full of hatred and anger. I would do anything to bring those emotions to you again, my son." The great goddess reaches a hand out to touch her son's delicate skin. A texture that feels strange to her dead senses. "Do you remember, Axl?" The great goddess asks in a mocking tone that stings his ego, not that he'll show it, but in reality, he doesn't need to. She grins with pride to see how even after centuries of not seeing him, Axl holds his own against her. A challenge that excites her to take since he was born.

"The misfortune of living for eternity is that we are unable to forget. Do you agree, mother?" He breathes in the pain of her dark souls as the spectrum laugh at his struggle. Even when he doesn't have feelings for someone, who has given him life, Axl still respects. Standing face to face, in a place that reeks of death as the air carriers the despair of countless lost souls screaming in the caves of regret. Axl keeps his eyes on his mother as she moves with grace and elegance, but the heaviness of this palace strikes his soul.

"I wonder..." the Great Goddess drags her beautiful velvet dress through the shattered glass on the floor. "Why are you impatient this time? Even I find myself wanting to test her potential, perhaps yours as well." She admits, remembering that Camille's eyes have a recognizable light.

"That girl..." the great goddess stands right in front of him, but she shares a quick glance with Beldurra. The Goddess of Fear retreats in the darkness with a private order. "She is special. So special that she came into this world. Into this sacred world, without the help of a god." She glares at him with the accusation of letting Camille cross his water portal. Emphasizing that she has nothing to do with her presence in this world, Axl fights to keep his relief hidden from her eyes. "She walked through your portals without being chosen, showed up in your territory, and now mingles with the goddesses like she is one of them." She tells him as her archangels of death descend from the obscurity with a threatening thirst for pain. "I do agree. The misfortune of living for eternity is that we never forget." She says as her stone-cold eyes light up like embers.

"You must not make a mistake, Axl. If you think the Great God of Destiny and Life is on your side when we both want the same thing. Unfortunately, you are an obstacle in his way and in mine." Axl's fits tighten up at the hurtful words. "Take a look..." the great goddess points at a portal she has opened on one of her faceless spectrums.

In the reflection, Axl can see Camille enjoying a cocktail of fruits in her favorite place, next to Luna and Paloma. Guarded by Zerrat and Kaiden, his eyes focus on her smile as Vico, one of the most feared beasts in his kingdom succumbs at her touch. The nature of her pure soul makes the exotic animal follow her with curiosity and devotion, falling for her charm. Vico, the winged world, Zelon, the albino lion, and Cosmo, the giant tiger, have become her collection of mystical pets. "Have any of your offerings done that before? Or have you done anything like this for them?" She asks, pushing him to acknowledge the obvious truth about Camille's unique energy. Camille's presence in the Gods' World has a reason that creates uneasiness for her whole dominium, and the only way to fight it is by manipulating Axl. "That girl. Those eyes. A heart so pure, it reminds me of him." The Great Goddess of Evil and Death comments while gazing at the girl's beautiful face smiling with tenderness. The serenity in her gaze as she talks to Zerrat captivates the God of Water.

"Then why have you been tormenting her?" Axl asks. The fact that Camille has been chased by the shadows that she controls, hurt by someone that her evil spectrums possess, intrigues him. "If you did not choose her, why have you cursed with misery and pain, an innocent girl that knows nothing but fear and the terror of your existence." Axl can't forget that his mother is someone superior, a heartless being who doesn't hesitate to hurt anyone if it benefits her. She has done it before, but this time even when she's trying to avoid it, something is changing, something that concerns her.

"I have not seen your passion, your dedication for someone other than Onyx," her voice growing colder by the minute, remembering the reason she has cursed her own son to feel the loss of a loved one. Axl shows no reaction at the mention of the angel he opened his heart to once before. An angel she took away from him.

"Onyx belonged to you." He tries with a great effort not to condemn his own mother to take the life of his beloved Onyx and angel of death that managed to weaken his heart to force him to seal it and cover it with darkness. The Great Goddess has punished her son by taking the only being he ever loved, only to teach him a lesson.

"Indeed, which is why I am interested in finding out the depths of her mystery." Axl reaches the same level of coldness as the Great Goddess of Evil and Death, her eyes narrowed, trying to keep a cool head, but his crystal blue eyes pierce hers as he becomes surrounded by darkness and evil, she controls inside him.

"I will not allow you to disturb her peace anymore. If you are not the reason she is here, I do not have a reason to deny her my protection. Are you willing to test my patience once again, mother?" Axl threatens her as her evil archangels form a barrier in front of her. The great goddess smiles at his resolve, which gives her an opening to test him.

"I wonder who you will choose between Onyx and Camille," her mocking tone irritates him, but he refuses to give up on her temptations. Without wanting to listen to his mother anymore, Axl turns back, his blue eyes intensely cold that even to her cold heart, she feels his accusations for being what she is. An evil mother that kills happiness and life.

"Good day, mother," he says with a low frivolous voice, and a curtain of clear water appears before him, and he walks through it. The great goddess watches her son leave as her eyes turn back to see Camille's reflection of her portal. Innocently smiling at Kaiden as he helps her to her feet.

"You will send her back, son. Onyx will make sure you do," the Great Goddess of Evil and Death says with a playful smirk. Already planning a way to force her son to send the girl back to the human world and find out what's she really doing; here? If she has been brought to the Gods World, there's only one God that can open a special portal for her. Axl. "But he does not seem to understand yet."
