Firefly was bored.

Very

Very bored.

It had been days since she last heard from her comrade and long time friend, Frost the ice demon.

So, understandably, she was pretty concerned.

She knew it wasn’t like her to remain silent while out.

Not like this at least.

She thought over the past few days or whatever passed as "days" in the ninth plain of Hell.

Her mind went back to the battle against Frost’s father and previous Hell-lord.

She never expected to be crowned a Hell-lord in her immortal life. Wait...if she was immortal and couldn't die, did that mean she wasn’t even alive and so forth, to begin with?

She decided not to dwell on that those kinds of questions, thinking wasn’t her forte. It was Frost’s forte instead, SHE was the smart one here.

She was also very inexperienced when it came to this kind of stuff.

And by that, she meant she wasn’t used to all this "leading" stuff.

At least she had Akure to help guide her.

The two have never fully seen eye-to-eye on everything, but now she was grateful for his assistance.

Akure, originally, was one of Vivitullus's generals. He had been in charge of tactical planning and so forth, but was eventually disintegrated by Frost when his life essence was bound by Vivitullus and forced him to fight her.

Out of the four generals, he was the only survivor as Frost held him in respect. Deep down, Firefly knew that he was an "anomaly" as well. He wasn’t the most violent demon around, but he was no slouch for when it came to combat.

Akure was a massive knight-like demon, that while the smallest of the four demons generals, made up for it in his sheer adaptability and versatility.

He also served for centuries by Vivitullus's side, giving him quite a bit of experience. Thus making him a valued second in command.

Hell-lords typically gained a weapon or symbol of their leadership. For Vivitullus, it was his iron mace-like tail. Firefly knew deep down that, that mace end couldn't have been natural.

But Firefly chose a weapon, rather than mutilate her own body.

She chose rather a katana, a human weapon that she favored. She found it overall badass.

It was larger however then most human katana's in terms of blade length, but she didn't mind that.

So one of the habits she picked up after gaining her sword which she kept on a belt on her waist, was training. She was skilled that was for sure.

Though she could use a lot more practice with it, and she was working on mixing her sword attacks with her fire magic.

Currently, she was sitting on her throne that used to belong to Vivitullus. Originally, it had been too big for her to fit properly, so she melted it down and had a much smaller one forged. Frankly, the smaller one was just far more comfortable.

However, she was sitting on it upside down with her feet at the top of the throne and her long Red-orange hair hanging off of the actual seat part of the throne.

She was fiddling with her fingers and noticed that at times like this, she was very much glad she wore shorts and not a skirt like Frost always did.

The next time she met Frost, she was gonna tackle her,  then hug her, and then tell her to put some damn pants on.

In no particular order that is.

She kept fiddling with her fingers when she heard a knock at the door leading to her throne room.

This she wasn’t expecting anyone so she jumped and half-ways backward and somersaulted off the throne landing on her rump.

"Ack-who is it!?" She asked rapidly sitting properly in her throne.

A chuckle was heard as a shadow formed in front of her and she relaxed as the incarnation of the Abyss Azhecke appeared.

Azhecke was the abyss itself, giving physical form technically making the abyss itself a sentient and physical identity.

Despite his very shady and reserved self, he had proven before to be a VERY handy ally cursing Vivitullus with the inability to heal his wounds after being harmed.

He also acted as an advisor of sorts for Firefly. Although a messenger could have been a more suiting title.

"Ah, Azhecke nice of you to show up. So ya got any news for me?" She asked looking up at the hovering winged being that looked like a fallen angel.

He looked at her silently first then said, "I do, Firefly, and news that you'd love to hear.” 

She tilted her head in question.

"And what would that be?" She asked him with curious eyes.

"Our Friend Frost has reappeared," he stated.

This got her full attention and she rapidly shot off questions for him.

"Where is she? How is she? What is she doing no?" 

He held out a hand and said, “hold it. Hold it. She was gravely wounded fighting Vivitullus who managed to survive and possess a priest, in which she managed to scatter.”

She nodded but also cringed inwards.

Scattering was a fate even immortals feared.

Being scattered meant your very essence was so damaged and burnt that you could never again form a proper consciousness unless by the means of the most ancient and powerful forms of magic typically that only beings such as the endless could do.

"What else can you tell me about her whereabouts..and also how did she scatter Vivitullus I know she's powerful, but she doesn't have that form of power?" she asked

"She used the very holy sword that he used on her by breaking its blade while impaled in him," he stated

Firefly gave out a verbal "Oof!" And nodded.

That must of been painful for Frost, especially she couldn't even touch a bible without getting burned.

"Afterwards, she used her remaining strength to teleport herself to a cave at the bottom of the mountain," he said.

"Why didn't she teleport herself back here?" She asked the abyss.

The abyss shrugged "beats me"

"Now what else can you tell me?" She asked.

"She slept for many many many years. They flow differently in the mortal realms after all, but now she is awake and assisting two beings alongside some... allies to put it lightly.”

She breathed a sigh of relief at least she was still alive.

"What can you tell me about- what is it!?" She asked as a knight minion of hers ran into the throne room.

It knelt and said, "Hell lord we got news of an unidentified figure on our borders. They claim to be the rightful ruler of this here land.”.

Firefly tilted her head and wondered.

Who the fuck could this be?.

______________________

She was weak, this was rightfully his land. How dare she think she deserved to rule this land!?

A man with short curly and blonde hair sat on the edge of a territory belonging to some "Hell-lord" named Firefly.

He had heard on how her "Friend" some ice demon handed off her father's "land" to this new leader.

She didn't deserve this she never earned it!

And even then he was rightfully entitled to it.

He was a time-turner after all...

He started laughing maniacally. He had managed to evade his endless babysitter man, that thing was incompetent as fuck.

He then glanced behind him. He couldn't do mind control so, he went to one of the other realms with sufficient technology and crafted a device that allowed him to control the minds of those stupid enough to defy (or follow) him.

He had managed to build a massive army with beings and creatures with various levels of technology and magic from across several realms and timelines.

He was certain this army would crush this foolish ruler’s forces in an instant!.

He smiled at that thought.

Off in some unknown corner of the universe, floating through the void without a care in the world, was a sleeping endless, or as others might say,an incompetent fuck.

Crimson eyes as red as can be snapped open, wide with surpise and perhaps a hint of panic, even if it were for no more than a second.

"Creator be damned I forgot about the fucking timeturner!."

The slight fear that took over the Endless's soul vanished as soon as it came, and with an I'm worried wave of a hand those crimson eyes closed again "The others can take care of it,besides, I have other work to do. The boy certianly won't cause to much trouble while I'm busy."

So, completely neglecting the duty given to each and every Endless f4om the moment they earned that title, this incompetent fuck opened a portal with a clap.

There was indeed work to he done.

___________________________

Firefly glanced at the abyss god and said, "Explain to me Frosts situation later right now we have a meeting to pull off"

Azhecke nodded and fused into shadow. Hed vanished again as Firefly left with the knight commander.

Creating wings of fire, she took to the air.

And flew to the meeting place.

(I do not own the endless or the concept of a timeturner that belongs to Mingan_369)

(Tho this timeturner that'll appear within this story is my own OC)

(And just a heads up Mingan you will see a few times that Firefly mentions how since she learned that Frost is still alive and will try to reach her,however she doesn't go and try to find her as she becomes to preoccupied with the timeturner here)
