This is the sequel for Lesbian Guardians Make Decent Friends. I recommend reading that chapter of you have not already.

Also, this chapter contains very slight mention of blood, sex, and suicide. 

Here's the background info and whatnot.

Enjoy! My commentary is in bold.

1: The Resurrection Preformed By Amogila Yami

A/N: This takes place after the final chapter of Lesbian Guardians Make Decent Friends. Yami's explained everything to Oran already.

Oran POV~~~~

"Yami, are you dead? You said you've been in the Shadow Realm for a while but are you dead?" I questioned, and Yami looked up from the paper she was scribbling.

"This is a secret you must tell no one." She pursed her lips and placed two finger over them. "I'm still alive. I can enter and exit the Overworld as I please. With Queen's Solvius' permission, of course.~"

Oh no, not again—

"Makes sense. Could you bring me back to life?" I asked, her and she laughed in response.

"That's what I told Neo, but he refused." Yami started to think. "Though, it is your choice. I guess, I could why? Unfinished business?"

Obviously he wants to be alive so he can with his boyfriend.

"Yeah. Maybe that will help us awaken Neo." I answered, and then Yami gathered some tools. She grabbed a freaking sledgehammer.

You never when you'll need to bash something or someone with a sledgehammer.

"Frig, could you take over?" The frog jumped in her chair and became a man. A 30-year-old man in a frog onesie. "I have to bring Oran back to life."

Frig! My beloved.

"No problem, boss." Frig proceeded to fall asleep in Yami's chair as she left through a portal with her sledgehammer and other weird tools.

Frig works hard at his job.

After a few minutes, my body glowed. I think that meant I was alive again. I could expand my mission to awake Neo to the Overworld.

Glowing is a sign of life apparently. If your body isn't glowing you aren't alive. 😂

"How do you feel, little blueberry?~" Yami giggled, as she carried her sledgehammer on her shoulder, through the portal, in one hand. A toolbox in the other hand. "Alive again?~"

Where did that portal come from?

"Yeah. Thanks." I thanked Yami for bring me back to life.

"No problem. You can't find a way to bring Neo back if your cooped up in the Shadow Realm watching me threaten Frig all day." She laughs, she lightly pushes Frig out of her chair.

You literally just told him to sit there. 🙄

2: Oran's Little Berry

Oran POV~~~~

"Yami, this is pretty weird. Your growing a living creature in the oven like a cookie." I comment, ask Yami pulls the creature she created for me out of the oven. "What even is it?"

I wouldn't associate growing with the oven. If would sound better if the line was "Your cooking a living creature in the oven like a cookie."

"It's technically not living. It's already dead." She took the dough like substance and shaped it into a choker shape. A dark energy formed in Yami's hands and spread to the choker. The choker turn from a sandy-brown to a dark blue color. "It allows you to travel from Overworld to Shadow Realm, whenever without pain."

Technically? 🤔

"Basically a maigic realm jumping choker that you made out lost souls or something?..." I hesitate to put it on.

I think I had a thing for chokers and the goth and emo aesthetic.

"Call it what you wish." She removed her gloves and put them on the table. "I'm calling it your little berry.~"

She didn't answer the question.

Yami and I made our way down the Shadow Palace, I'm not really sure what they call it here. I suppose I should learn. Even though I'm still alive, I do live here in a sense.

It's call the Shadow Palace. Oran was right in his guess.

"Frig," Yami spun her chair to wake Frig up. "You have to secretly follow Eli to school today. I want to check up on her, for Queen Solvius." Frig groaned, not moveing. Yami resulted to flipping the chair which got Frig going.

Eli is the Queen's kid. My and my friend had a roleplay going on at this time and I wanted this story to take place at the same time so it would be easier for me to write.

Once Frig was gone, I asked Yami,"Are you always this mean to him? You threatened to eat him a few days ago and now you flip chairs he's sleeping him."

"Oh, no. That would be frog abuse." She explained, truly not wanting to hurt Frig. "That's because I'm going through an emotional period."

Does she mean like an emotional point in her life or an actual period? Either way, that gives you no excuse to be mean to your demon frog.

"Right. That stuff." I nodded.

Oran's response does not answer my question.

I went to talk with lady Solvius. I had a few questions about Neo. She knew him after he took the alter ego potion. I want to know how bad the effects were what he was like. And most of all, why he'd crush on her in the first place.

She knew after he did potions.

I hope she doesn't have angror issues. I'm not that good around people with angror issues. Maybe because I'm so calm, I get nervous when people yell at me. I want to say was the same way until he took that potion...

Saying traits about yourself does not mean that you have those traits.

I knocked on the Shadow Queen's door.

What a cliffhanger.

3: Miss Queen Lady Person

Oran POV~~~~

"Okay, so, in the time you knew Neo, what was he like?" I questioned, wanting to know more about my boyfriend. According to Yami, Neo had a little crush on Solvius. I'm not mad because he though I was dead and wanted to move on. I just don't get what the Hell he saw in her.

New personality trait unlocked. Jealously.

"He was really confident, arrogant almost." She explained, recalling him. That didn't sound like the Neo I knew. "He also didn't really open un that much to the group. Just to me."

"Anything else? Did he stutter, ever?" I wonder, knowing that Neo did that a lot due to his uncomfort in social situations.

Of all things you ask, you ask about his Mary Sue traits. Wow Oran. 😂

"No, he didn't. He either remained silent or spoke with that arrogant tone. Though, he probably could have escaped the group anytime, he didn't." She paused, to think before starting again. "I'm not really sure why. Maybe he liked our company, or maybe my company?..."

"Okay. Anything else?" I didn't really have an expression, around Solvius. I get that Neo liked her, but he quickly ended his feelings for her when he discovered she had a girlfriend. I was trying not act jealous of the Shadow Queen.

Oran is totally jealous right now. 😂

"He was a little reckless. And I think he might have been a little s❌❌cid❌l too." She explained, and my heart shattered at s❌❌cid❌l.

(I censored those.) That wasn't worded very well. What Solvius is trying to say is that he did a lot of reckless stuff without thinking or caring if he got hurt in the process, but he never did anything to hurt himself intentionally.

Damnit! I should have been there for him. I should have done more, and gotten resurrected sooner! I could have prevented all of this...

No you couldn't. The only that could have prevented this sequel is me.

4: Second Impression

Oran POV~~~~

Yami slammed a cardboard box down on my desk in front of me. Yami had a little office, or room, where she spent most of her time. She decided since I'm here now I should get a desk in her office since I did stuff. Thus, why my desk is a ping pong table.

The office but in Hell.

"I was out earlier and I stopped by Neo's Aunt house. You know, Stella. The one he lived with while we knew him." She gave me some background info. "I stopped by and asked for his old stuff, since he technically dead. This box contains Neo's junk from when he lived with her. Enjoying digging through it!"

It took a while book for Aunt Stella's made to get mentioned. 😞

Then Yami left the room, leaving me alone in the room. Not even a Frig was here to sleep while I worked.

"Okay then?..." I mumbled, before going through Neo's stuff.

Oran didn't even hesitate to look through Neo's personal things. 😂

It was mostly old photo albums, and spell books. Though, I did fine a few interesting things. Like his first wand. It was special made for him and it even had 'Neo Disglace' carved into it.

That's a pretty thick wand if it has Neo's full name carved into it.

Then I came across something at the bottom of the box. I'm not even how it got there, but I found a demon whistle. A Demon Gaurdian whistle, to be exact. The one that summoned, Madeira, Onyx, and Coral.

I still think it's funny that they're summoned by a whistle. 😂

Maybe they could help me in my quest to bring Neo back from his rock state? I blew the whistle. They appeared in the space in front of my desk.

I thought the desk was Yami's?

"It's good to be back, Neo—" Madeira seemed mad, once she noticed she wasn't talking to Neo. "Oh, Oran."

That's all I get? An 'Oh, Oran'. Nope! I spoke way too soon. Before I knew it, I was flying through a wall, or two... Madeira punched me out of Yami's office, much like she punched Neo out of a window.

The way this action scene is written. 😂 Oran is so f#%king calm about getting knocked through a wall.

I was struggled to get up off the ground; Madeira hits hard. When I managed to get up, the redhaired demon was waiting for me.

I thought he was in a wall?! How did he get on the ground?

"Madeira, can we talk about whatever it is that your mad about? I don't want to fight you." I explain, and throws another punch at me. I barely manage to block, and I stumble backwards a little.

"Talk?! You want to talk about what happened to Neo?!" Razor sharp claws emerged from her fingers. "Or how you could have prevented all of this, but you didn't! This is all your fucking fault, Oran!"

Holy fuck, she fucking swore!

"My fault?!" I remembered back to the day Neo turned on his Gaurdians. "I let Neo make his own decisions. He wanted to, what he did-" I was interrupted by claws to my chest.

Technically, Oran has nothing wrong. He hasn't done anything right either. He's done absolutely nothing.

"I'm not listening to what you have to say, to keep yourself alive." Madeira kicked me, and I fell backwards. "I'm going to kill you myself!"

Obviously, Madeira's gonna kill Oran herself. She's going to hire a hitman to do it for her.

I wasn't about to fight Madeira. One, she was powerful demon and I was a simple vampire. Two, I'm a bit of a peacekeeper. Usually.

^ Really bad foreshadow right her.

Madeira was about to finish me off when, Onyx appeared in front of me, and shielded me from Madeira's razor claws.

There was just an Onyx sized amount of space in between Madeira and Oran?

"Move Onyx." The redhead spat, as Onyx tested her.

"This isn't Oran's fault," Oynx explained in a monotone voice. "He wants to bring Neo back. Just like us."

Onyx be the voice of reason in this story.

"Uhh, I guess your right..." Madeira's anger faded and her claws were gone. Onyx removed her magical shield, and Madeira hugged her. "I still want to kill the vampire," I heard her whisper in Onyx's ear.

Oran's a vampire, by the way. The vampire lore for the world is kinda outdated in the story. I've decided that Oran is a bitten born vampire—meaning he became a vampire through getting bite and does not burn in the sun.

"Guys," I felt my head throb. I was losing too much blood. "I should see a doctor..." Everything faded black.

Did Madeira actually stab him? I think I missed that part.

5: Blame Her

Yami POV~~~~

I watched as Onyx paced, back and forth, from one side of the waiting room to the other. Madeira was staring at the floor and not looking up, while Coral watched whatever cartoon was on the TV.

How long is this time skip and why do TV suddenly exist?

This wasn't right. You can't really die in the Shadow Realm, much less be on verge of death. Unless, something was wrong. I stood up and turned to Onyx.

"If I don't come back, I put you in charge Onyx. Make sure Madeira doesn't kill Oran." I recieved a small nod from Onyx, in response. Then I made my way to Solvius's throne room.

~~~~

* * *

"Lady Solvius," Lynn got the Queen's attention before allowing me to enter. "Yami would like to speak with you." I stepped forward and Solvius shifted on her throne.

Lynn's name has since been change to Wren. So in my more recent stories from this world, the Wren character is this character.

"What is it?" She asked, probably bracing herself for the worst. Which was a wonderful idea, since something is seriously wrong right now.

Everyone except the queen uses formalities. 😂

"The Shadow Realm is experincing some major difficulties." She motioned for me to continue. "I believe our magic is being drained by a certain bitch with white hair.~" I hinted at the Queen who instantly knew who it was.

I hate this plot point.

"Zero." The Queen was infurerated by Zero's whole exsistantce. Zero always tried to take Solvius's kingdom, steal her power. "That bitch is draining the energy from my realm!" Solvius got up from her throne. She was about invistigate this Zero thing.

Okay. Who doesn't have an OC named Zero?

"My Quee-" Lynn was cut off by Solvius.

"I'll be fine. I'll have Yami with me, after all." She explained, and like that I was going on a adventure with the Shadow Queen.

~~~~

* * *

"You will be hanged for your crimes against the Angel Kingdom, Sister Zero." A young angel queen, yelled as she kicked the stool out from under a teenager, Zero.

This is really in character for the Angel Queen, but it's pretty irreverent to the story.

I looked away from my crystal ball and the memory faded. Solvius's expression remained unchanged.

"Hail's mother had Zero's executed for using dark magic." The Shadow Queen summed up. "Which, I believe, is strictly forbidden in the Angel Kingdom."

Everything is forbidden in the Angel Kingdom.

"And Hail's father was then executed for cheating on Hail's mom— which resulted in Griffion, who is safely hidden in the Human Kingdom." I added. "Lilly was chosen to watch over the universe's light and dark balance, so that's why Hail's mom was in-charge of the Angel Kingdom."

Readers of both LGMDF and SGAYOF have no idea who the character of Hailey is at this point, so there's no need to have this kind of exposition for her right now.

"And Hail appears whenever she pleases." Solvius glanced up at the portal to the Overworld we opened. "What a family tree."

"My Queen, are you ready to burn a notorious bitch at the stake?~" I gave an insane smile. "She'll make a wonderful sacrifice for Lord Kevin.~"

Why would Kevin be involved? Are they going to the Sun Kingdom?

"Let's go, before this gets too weird."

6: Homework

Oran POV~~~~

I woke up and saw a bunch of people in my face. Yami, Frig, Madeira, Onyx, and Coral. I'm fuzzed on the details as to why I was passed out though. Maybe it's not important.

"Oran," Yami was helping me up out of the bed. "Stop oversleeping a retrieve a magical spellbook. It's called the First King's Spellbook. We need it to get Neo back."

"Okay—" I tried to stand but face planted. "Owwwww..."

"I see someone failed standing-up school." Yami joked, and the demons tried not to laugh. "Onyx help Oran to the portal. Frig, get in my pocket."

Did Yami make an ASDF movie joke?

"What's my assignment, Miss?" Coral asked Yami.

"I need to to watch Madeira. Don't take your eyes off her." Yami commanded.

"Got it!" Coral replied, as she began to stare at Madeira.

Coral is too sweet for this world.

~~~~

* * *

"I have the book..." I gave Yami the book before falling down. My energy was gone, and I all I did was stand and hold a book before disappearing on a fight between Solvius and Zero.

This happened in the roleplay I mentioned that happened, but within the context of the story it happened off page.

"You'll need to head out for the Elf Kingdom as soon as your not face planting everywhere." Yami told me, placing the book on my desk. "The Elf Kingdom has old magic, runes, heck even the elders. Those temples have plenty of rocks with magic transcriptions. Maybe that will help you on your boyfriend quest."

Oran's exsistance has been reduced to an errand boy.

"Thanks..." I mumble as I get off the floor. I'm really questioning whether I'm okay or not.

7: A Little Over Protective

Oran POV~~~~

I waiting for Yami to return from a small mission with Queen Solvius, so I walked around the palace. The guards have familiarized themselves with me and my presence, to a certain extent.

I've also many an effort to learn back stories, recognize names and faces, and remember birthdays. I don't want to adjust too much— but I also don't want to be rude to Yami's associates.

Out of nowhere, one of Solvius's guards appeared. Kai. The scariest, in my opinion. I also think her and the queen have a relationship of some sort.

Why does everyone keep appearing?

"What are you doing?" She made it seem, like I was trespassing. As if I was stealing things or breaking a rule. Which I wasn't. "Up to one of Yami's little schemes? Doing her dirty work?!"

Why the sudden aggression?

I couldn't answer fast enough. My thoughts didn't reach my lips fast enough; resulting in a knife against my throat. I was actually worried about how fast she could move.

"I was just walking around the palace..." I explained and Kai pressed the knife to my throat. She didn't like Yami, and seemed to be taking her anger out on me.

"Why are you even here?" I tensed up and the knife was pressed harder into my neck without cutting me. "You just showed up one day; following Yami like a little bitch."

😂 What is this dialogue?

I forgot how sensitive my emotions were. I forgot how sensitive I was. "I'm trying to bring a friend of mine back to life. It's not a normal resurrection, it requires special elements and objectives to work properly."

Oran called himself sensitive for having emotions... 😬

"Interesting. Though why pick Yami, of all people." She questioned removing the knife from my throat.

"We went to a magic academy together." I answered, and Kai smirked.

"Wait, seriously?" She laughed more, as my confusion built up.

"Yeah..." I replied. "What's so funny about that?"

"You look a hell of a lot younger than her. Guess that means you got blessed with dying young?" She guessed.

Oh, yeah. When you get resurrected you don't age anymore. Well, you age, but your body doesn't get older. That portion of the lore is still canon.

"I was dead for a while, then she brought me back a few days ago." I explained, and her eyes widened.

"Your alive? How lucky." Kai walked away. "The Overworld is shit!"

Agreed.

I'm just going to pretend that is a normal occurrence and continue on with my day as if it never happened. I hope Neo is a top, because I sure as hell am not. At least not that I've been resurrected.

8: Temporary Relocation

Oran POV~~~~

Yami sent me through a portal and told me to chill with the a pair of Elf Temple guardians for a bit to learn about elf magic. The oldest magic, and the kind that needed to preform many spells in the First King's Spellbook.

Elven Guardians Make Horrible Friends, the forth book we never got. 😞😂

"I'm Ashe," A dark purple haired elf girl, with tan skin. "I guard the Temple with my partner, Karma."

I love these two so much. Their designs (at least how I picture them in my head) is really aesthetically pleasing.

"And I'm Karma! Ashe's partner!" The guy beside Ashe, with red hair and tan skin, put his arm on Ashe's shoulder. Ashe seemed unphased by this action. "Amogila said you'd be here— What was your name again? I may or may not have forgotten..."

"My name is Oran." I told Karma, as though Ashe seemed to already know my name.

"Oran. I remember that now!" Karma's face lit up. "We're supposed to teach you magic stuff, yeah?"

"That's what we signed up for." Ashe bluntly responded, as Karma stepped closer to me. Ashe turned her head to watch Karma.

Karma put his arm around my shoulder, and smiled. "So, what's your birth race?" I flinched, not remembering if vampires were welcome in the Elf Kingdom or not. "We just need to know to see where you are in magic and get an estimate as to what your capable of."

"Vampire. But I don't burn in the sun." I explained, and the two elves nodded.

I forgot that was explained.

"You have potential to learn the type of magic you need. Wether you can actually do it or not is another story." Ashe didn't sound thrilled, though I could tell she was the type to not show much emotion.

"I'm sure you can, Oran!" Karma encouraged, trying to motivate me. Which he did, a little. "You just need two amazing teachers. Which you have, right here!" The redhead referred to himself and Ashe.

Karma and Ashe are the complete opposite best friends.

"Thanks..." I replied, a little awkwardly as we went inside Ashe and Karma's house. It was in the middle of the woods a few miles from the temple they guard.

They showed to my room upstairs, which reminded me of Neo's room. The window, the bed, the dresser. The only difference was the wooden floor, walls, and the entire forest around us.

Oran remembers exactly what Neo's room looked like, for some reason.

9: Orders Are Orders

Oran POV~~~~

It was the end of the second day I spent learning magic with Ashe and Karma. Karma and I had formed a bond of some sort. Ashe and I had some kind of friendship, though it wasn't as obvious as the one with Karma.

Ashe and Karma balance each other out. Ashe is an introvert, Karma is an extrovert. Ashe prefers reading, Karma prefers sparring. They are both great teachers, though.

Oli and water.

"Hey Oran!" Karma put his arm on my shoulder, as we walked to the temple to practice my magic. Ashe silently joined us.

~~~~

* * *

"If you had to do a fuck/marry/kill with the three Cavel sisters what would you do, Oran?" Karma asked me, as Ashe rolled her eyes at the childish game. "I'd fuck Nora, marry Jennifier, and kill Sasha."

Karma, I can't— 😂😂

"Umm, let's see." I thought for second. "I'd f— Sasha, marry Jennifier, and kill Nora."

Wait, isn't Oran gay? Also his refusal to swear is kinda funny.

"What about between, the Dragon, Fairy, and Weretiger Kingdom queens?" He asked, get another eye roll from Ashe. "I'd fuck Serina, marry Valentina, and kill Ann."

Ann is not longer the Fairy Queen. That's been decanonized.

"I—" I was cut off by the sound of a tree falling. I looked up and saw a pack of werewolves, in wolf form, right in front of us. CLICK!

Karma and Oran were so invested in that game of f#%k/marry/kill, that they didn't notice an ENTIRE pack of werewolves?

"I'm giving each of you 10 seconds to return to human form or I fire this at your Alpha." Ashe threatened the pack as she aimed a loaded crossbow at who was presumably the Alpha of the pack. "10."

"Wait, what's wrong with this pack? They didn't do anything wrong, their just passing through." I reasoned, not understanding Ashe's actions.

"The new Vampire King ordered the slaughter of werewolves roaming around with their packs in wolf form." Karma explained, and I felt terrible for all the werewolves who'd already fallen. "The Elf Kingdom is obeying the order; as our leaders fear the new Vampire King."

"0." Ashe shot the Alpha, and about three wolves jumped at her. Karma froze them with magic, before drawing his sword and killing the rest of the pack.

I watched as the unnessisary blood was spilt. Why would anyone order the slaughter of harmless werewolf packs?...

That's just cruel.

10: Heat Arguments [Part 1]

Yami POV~~~~

"Madeira," I adressed her and stood up. Onyx and Coral watched us closely; ready to interfere at any moment. "If you kill Oran, Neo with personally obliterate you when he comes back."

"I can handle him. The real question is," Maderia stepped closer to me, closing the distance between us. "Can you handle me?~"

🥱 It's almost halfway over.

"Of course I can." I throw out Frig. He turned into a human, which made Madeira stepped back. "I have a magical demon who can turn into a frog.~"

"FRIG!" Coral screamed in excitement before hugging Frig. Frig seemed to be suffocating, but that wasn't my concern right now.

Awwww. Coral is adorable.

"It seems I've taken out your greatest weapon.~" Madeira closed our distance again, but this time leaned on my shoulder.

Actually, Coral took Frig out. Give her the credit.

"Who said that was a weapon?~" I pushed her off me, causing Madeira to fall. "My greatest weapon is not being able to kill you in the Shadow Realm. You also can't kill me. Queen's orders.~"

"God damnit!" Madeira got up and stomped off. Onyx whispered something to Coral before following Madeira.

11: Heated Arguments [Part 2]

SMUT SMUT SMUT SMUT SMUT SMUT SMUT SMUT SMUT SMUT SMUT SMUT SMUT SMUT SMUT SMUT SMUT SMUT SMUT SMUT

Onyx and Madeira originally made love in this chapter, but it's really cringy, so I'll spare your eyes. Also, it's not that relevant to the story.

12: Execution Order

Oran POV~~~~

"I'm giving each of you 10 seconds to return to human form or I fire this at your Alpha." Ashe threatened the pack as she aimed a loaded crossbow at who was presumably the Alpha of the pack. "10."

"Wait, what's wrong with this pack? They didn't do anything wrong, their just passing through." I reasoned, not understanding Ashe's actions.

"The new Vampire King ordered the slaughter of werewolves roaming around with their packs in wolf form." Karma explained, and I felt terrible for all the werewolves who'd already fallen. "The Elf Kingdom is obeying the order; as our leaders fear the new Vampire King."

"0." Ashe shot the Alpha, and about three wolves jumped at her. Karma froze them with magic, before drawing his sword and killing the rest of the pack.

The images of yesterday filled my dreams. I told Karma and Ashe I was taking a break today. I needed time to process this— Merciless Slaughter.

Why is merciless slaughter capitalized? It doesn't need to be.

Frank would have never ordered, much less allowed that to happen. And now the new Vampire King is tearing down everything Frank built up.

Frank was the Vampire King before the current one, but that has been decanonized.

My thoughts were interrupted by Yami appearing in bedroom.

Girls just keep appearing in the bedrooms of people who aren't into girls. 😞

"You've been chosen for a special mission.~" She told me.

~~~~

* * *

After returning from the visit with the Vampire King, I realized have to do something about the Execution Order but I'm a pacifist. Unless, maybe it wouldn't hurt—

Remember the bad foreshadow?

Out of hopelessness I flip through an advanced potion book. Maybe this would help me stop the order?

Drugs are never the answer.

Then I found the potion I needed.

An Alter Ego Potion.

This sounds really dumb still. 😂

I went to work on making this potion in secret from Karma and Ashe. I also made a cure because the effects of this potion aren't pretty.

13: Breathe

Oran POV~~~~

I drank the Alter Ego potion. It tasted okay, but then I felt weird. Ideas I'd never thought of were filling head. Then a solution to the Execution Order popped in my brain.

Why not just kill the Vampire King and teleport away afterwards?

Teleport has been banned because it's way to overpowered.

It would solve the Execution Order problem. Then I could continue trying to save Neo without all the werewolves dying.

I suppose killing the person who ordered an order would stop that order... 🤔

I teleport to the Vampire Kingdom's palace. I forgot what the place looked like; I haven't been inside for years.

When would Oran have been to the Vampire Palace? He's not important.

There the king was. On his throne doing nothing of particular importance.

I managed to summon a sword. I teleported beside the throne he was sitting on and beheaded the killed. I was covered in blood. The chair was covered in blood. Blood was everywhere.

Where did that sword come from? Didn't Oran say he was a pacifist? If he truly was a pacifist then he won't be able to summon a sword at will.

I teleported back to my room in Ashe and Karma's house. Luckily, there's a bathroom connected to my room.

Why do modern quality bathrooms exist?

The bloody sword disappears from my hands and I drink the Alter Ego potion cure. I then take a shower to clean the blood off.

Why do showers exist in this world? He should have to go to the bathhouse or something.

After my shower, I changed into clean, not bloody clothes. This was the last thing I have to do.

Murder cleanup 101.

I went outside. Ashe and Karme were at the Temple so I was alone. I burned the clothes, and then quickly put out the fire before it spread.

I'm assuming it's nighttime, otherwise Oran would burn with his clothes.

I just got away with murder, on my Sasha, what have I done... I killed someone, there's probably a bounty over head. But no one knows who I am, or where I came from.

Why would he say "oh my Sasha"? Sasha is a werewolf and Oran is a vampire. 😬

I can't be tracked, or traced. It's like I don't exist to the Vampires.

I'm going to take a nap inside. Maybe that will cure my paranoia.

I'm not a murderer— Oh shit, I killed the Vampire King.

It took that long for you to realize it?!

14: Practice Pays Off

Oran POV~~~~

"Ashe, Oran!" Karma yelled as rode a black blob torwards. "Wanna help me kill this Shadow Goon?"

"Um, what's that?..." I asked, not knowing what this creature was. Ashe turned to me to explain it.

"They're monsters made of a dark substance from the Shadow Realm. They probably have a more scientific name, but Karma calls them Shadow Goons." Ashe draws a spear. "It probably come out of a nearby portal. Cover me."

Actual story exposition. What a step up from the first book. 😂

She speared the monster through the heart, or where it's heart would be if it had one. A few seconds later the spear exploded and the blob fell apart.

RIP Shadow Goon. 😞 You will be missed.

"Could you give a warning next time, Ashe?" Karma was on the ground, reaching for Ashe to help him up to his feet.

"Your still alive, aren't you?" She retorted, as she help him up. They seem pretty skilled in dealing with these Shadow Goon things. When I get back to the Shadow Realm, I'll ask Solvius about them.

I remembered their relationship being a lot more supportive... 😨

"Does this happen a lot? Where you have to fight stuff on the job?..." I questioned, curious about Karma and Ashe's job.

"Yep! It's all included in the package of defending ancient Elven Temples!" He smiled, before continuing to talk. "We fight Shadow Goons, thieves—"

"Each other." Ashe interrupted with no warning.

Pfft. 😏

"Yeah, that happens sometimes, too. We do a lot of fighting on the job, so we're always prepared!" Karma dramatically explained, pulling out his sword for dramatic effect.

I love this guy I unconditionally. 😊

"Okay, that's really cool." I told them. "I'm a pasifist so I don't fight stuff. I'm more of a healer, you know, support."

"I don't fight stuff", my 🍑. You murdered the f#%king Vampire King, Oran!

"Makes sense." Ashe bluntly said, not really caring if she hurt my feelings. "We should head home before the sun goes down."

"What if the temple gets attacked?" I wondered.

"The crystal necklaces we wear alert us if the temple is in danger." Karma explained, before we started walking back to the house.

Magic.

"Cool," I murmured under my breath.

15: A Child

Oran POV~~~~

"Karma had to visit his dying distant relative before they die and Yami wants you to come back to the Shadow Realm for the day." Ashe explained in a monotone voice. Her face was expressionless. "I'll be here. Doing my job."

I think Karma was making an excuse to get a day off of work. 😂

"Thanks Ashe." I opened a mini portal to the Shadow Realm and left.

~~~~

* * *

To my surprise, I wasn't greeted with a punch to the face. I was greeted with hug. A hug from Yami, instead of a punch from Madeira.

"How's your Elven Magic coming along?" She asked, wanting me to succeed in my adventure to bring Neo back.

"It's okay. Though, I'm nowhere near ready to bring Neo back..." I moped. Yami put her hand on my shoulder.

Wait, why can't they hire someone to do it for them? This was before the world had a law against resurrections and people could freely come back to die and as they pleased.

"You'll get better. You don't learn magic over night, you know.~" She comforted me. I gave a tiny smile.

"I know, I just feel like I'm not making progress fast enough." I admitted. Before Yami could respond, Onyx walked in holding a five year-old Coral in her arms.

Oran being down on himself to try get the Mary Sue praise. But he's too Gary Sue to get his praise.

"I need a babysitter." She put Coral down and walked away.

Everytime Coral dies (because she's a demon, her body always reforms) she starts the life cycle over. But she grows up in like a day or two. That's why she's 5 years old now, I think.

"Wow, I guess we get to—" I was about to talk about Yami and watching Coral but she was at the door.

"Sorry, I have to take Frig to the vet to get neutered." Yami left me alone with Coral.

Yami single handedly ended the Frig bloodline before it even started. 😂

"Are you a fish?" Coral asked and I think I died in that moment. Wait, nope. I'm still alive. Coral then changes into a 13 year old kid. "Wanna play chess?"

Aging 101.

"Sure."

"Thank you for watching the child." Onyx thanked me.

"No problem..." Why am I so bad at chess?

Imagine being bad at chess.

16: Wishes & Requests

Oran POV~~~~

I woke up to find an guest watching me sleep. A guest I didn't invite into Ashe and Karma's home.

I wouldn't consider someone who broke into your house uninvited a guest. 😬

"Kevin?" I questioned myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming. "What are you doing here?"

Kevin?! What is he doing there? 🤔

"I'm here to warn you, Oran." He explained, and he sat on the end of my bed. "The council isn't stupid. The mystery you left for them to solve will be solved in the next 48-hours. Unless, we act now."

The council actually does their job for once. (Also, they have been decanonized.)

"What are you saying?..." I asked.

"I'm going to distract the council for as long as I can, while you head to," Kevin looked directly at me. "Harpy Mountain."

Why there?

"Harpy Mountain? No one's been there in years..." I explained, but Kevin didn't care.

"Go there. Climb to the top," The harpy looked at the Demon Whistle. "Bring them with you. Gather your things, we don't have much time."

Why is Kevin helping Oran? Didn't he purposely get him killed in the first book?

I did as he said and collected my things. I need to make some progress bringing Neo back, or things are going to get messy.

17: In Denial

Yami POV~~~~

"Kevin?" Oran questioned the Solaro. "What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to warn you, Oran." He explained, and he sat on the end of the bed. "The council isn't stupid. Thy mystery you left for them to solve will be solved in the next 48-hours. Unless, we act now."

"What are you saying?..." The vampire asked.

"I'm going to distract the council for as long as I can while you head to," Kevin looked directly at Oran. "Harpy Mountain."

"Harpy Mountain? No one's been there in years..." Oran explained, but Kevin didn't care.

"Go there. Climb to the top," The harpy looked at the Demon Whistle. "Bring them with you. Gather your things, we don't have much time."

That what my crystal ball told me what Oran was doing. I knew he killed the Vampire King. And...

Yami can literally spy on anyone with her crystal ball. 👀 Also, isn't it broken?

I have to help him revive Neo.

No you don't.

"Frig, keep close watch on Eli while I'm gone." I instructioned the frog demon. "I'll be gone for awhile."

This happened in the roleplay.

Then, I opened a portal to Harpy Mountain. Now, to wait for Oran to get here.

Surely Lady Solvius, will forgive me for this act of stupidity. Or at least make my punishment something a little less than being thrown in a cell...

I honestly don't think Solvius will care.

18: Up The Mountain

Yami POV~~~~

"Oran!" I hugged Oran, knocking him down. "You ready to bring Neo back?"

"Why wouldn't I be?" He answered with a question. "What about you?"

"Ready. Let's climb this mountain."

This part of the plot is really stupid. 🥱

* * *

~3 Months Later~

A timeskip?! GASP!

No POV~~~~

"They still haven't returned, Lady Solvius." Lynn informed her Queen. "No sigh of the demons, Oran, or Yami."

They disappeared from the Internet.

"I bet they're dead," Kai jumped in.

"No. We need to have faith in them." Slovius responded. Lynn nodded and left. "I hope they return soon..."

"I don't."

Same.

"I didn't ask you, Kai."

"Whatever."

Epilogue

No POV~~~~

"We didn't start from much.

Just a zombie and socially awkward harpy.

Why is this a poem now? Its not even a poem, but it's written like one.

We wanted to help our friend.

Now, Reyna is a basically a God.

We don't talk about Lady Reyna.

And, I'm a terrible person...

I'm the reason Oran died the first time.

I'm the reason—"

Kevin turned at the sound of a door opening.

Why the sudden focus on Kevin? We don't even have a clear picture of his personality or motives yet. 😑

"It's just me, Flyboy." Habble assured. They walked over beside Kevin and looked down at why he was writing. The Hitman sighed and leaded over the letter the harpy was writing. "Is this your Will and Testament?"

That could be his diary, Habble.

"...maybe." The harpy replied, trying to hide that Habble was right. Habble gave Kevin a look of disapproval. "Okay, yeah. It is."

"Well, if it's because of what I think it is, you have no reason to write it." They explained to the Solaro.

"What? Why?..." Kevin questioned.

"The Demon King is in his castle. With his soon to be husband." Kevin gave a relieved smiled at Habble's news. Habble handed Kavin an invitation. "We were invited to the wedding."

Oran turned Neo out of stone and there was a proposal between them OFF PAGE? What else did I miss? Them adopting a child?

Kevin early stood up. "Let's go pick out new tuxedos! Or do you want to wear a dress?~"

"Tuxedo, please."

Actually, I think Habble would wear something similar to what Luz wore in the Grom episode of The Owl House.

The two left the room, to go find clothes to wear to the wedding.

And there's an off page wedding too. 😑

Bonus Chapter: Her Revolution

No Point Of View~~~~

"Hey dad," The demon called to her vampire dad from the top of the stairs. "Can I borrow the the portal?!"

Don't ask for permission, ask for forgiveness.

"What?!!" Oran responded, extremely confused. "Why, Bella?!"

Oran is the nervous parent.

"Because, I'm going to the Overworld to burn an entire kingdom to the ground and kill a bunch of people." Bella smiled, letting her father know she was joking. "I want to go to the Overworld and actually do shit."

I've never read I Am Not Starfire but—

Bella paused and walked down the stairs to be face to face with her father.

"I know you and dad said I could leave when I was older but, what should I do with my life? I mean, only like 10 other people know I exist. You and Dad, obviously. Hail. Yami. Madeira, Onyx, and Coral. Yami's pet frog man. And the Kevin and his non binary spouse."

Bella calls both Oran and Neo dad. And I didn't know that saying only spouse or partner could imply a non binary person.

"I'm don't know what to tell you. I was expecting you to ask how sex works but—" Oran was interrupted by his daughter giving him a disappointed look. "I realized that your not 12, your 22..."

Have they not given Bella "the talk" yet? When she's 22?

"Dad, I'm 23," She teased, but her father though she was serious.

"Oh shit, I've failed as a parent..." Oran was about to cry. "Was your birthday yesterday?"

Oran doesn't know her brother either. 😂

"No, that was a joke." She explained, and her father let out a large sigh of relief. "I'm 22."

"Oh," Oran awkwardly directed his attention to the floor. "Back to the leaving thing. Our world has changed a lot in the last 25 years, since your father and I married. I actually haven't been in the Overworld in since our wedding day..."

It's only been 25 years?

"Stop changing the subject." Bella demanded and her dad continued.

"I have no idea what it's like up there. All I know is that the all the warlords have somehow managed to keep their positions." He made his point, but continued to ramble. "Like, how the heck is Serina even in charge of a whole kingdom?!"

Because she's a girl boss. Duh. 😘

"You know I don't care about your opinions on the warlords, right?" She stated, making her dad be quiet. "But thanks. Tell dad I left."

"Wait! You didn't tell him?!!" Oran panicked and his daughter had opened a portal and had stepped into the Overworld.

Bella just dipped without telling Neo.

* * *

"What if she encounters another being?!!" Oran was still panicked about Bella leaving to explore the outside world. "What is she's pregnant when she comes home?!! And has boyfriend?!"

"Or a girlfriend." Neo added, since the couple hadn't asked their child what her sexuality was. "And, I'm sure she'll be fine. She is an adult after all."

Bella doesn't have a canon sexuality. Surprising.

"Yeah, it's like you think she'll do something super stupid like burn Vi alive, or something." Hail appeared on the other couch, joining the conversation. "Speaking of burning Vi alive, I should add that to my bucket list. Vi is already over the hill."

Hailey! My favorite!

"I'm worried that she'll find the Overworld disappointing and destroy it." Yami was somehow in Neo and Oran's house as well. "Like, our savior, Lady Reyna plans to do when the time is right."

We don't talk about Lady Reyna.

"Can you NOT preach your shitty religion in the house of the fucking devil, himself." Madeira, who Oran or Neo didn't bother to question ho or why she was on their couch, had joined the talk. "Don't you have work for your precious, Queen Solvius, or something?"

We don't talk about Lady Reyna!

"It's my off day, thank you very much, foul beast." Yami would have spat at Maderia, if she wasn't in Neo's fancy mansion in Hell. "What's our next move? The group is sorta back together, with the addition of the frog in my pocket."

Frig is part of the group.

"We should play that role play that Miss Serina made!" Coral cheerfully suggested.

"Oh yeah! Puns N Perverts for the win!" Madeira cheered, making Onyx shift in her seat.

This reference brings me back so far— 😂 F#%k.

"Can I—" The frog crawled out of Yami's pocket to speak but Yami pushed him back in.

"You don't get a say in this, Frig." Yami scolded the frog demon.

That's frog abuse, Yami. 😡

In the back of Neo and Oran's minds' they were worried about their daughter. Would she be okay? Could she handle the real world?

Why are they thinking together? Is that what happens when you get married? You can read your partner's thoughts and communicate telepathically?

Successfully, the gay couple managed to hide their worry in classic a game of PNP.

Well, it's over. Definitely not another book or anything that drags out this incredibly confusing backstory turned present story.

I'm still trying to decide on whether I should do the 3rd book in this series. It has a lot of triggers and it kinda brings back some bad memories I blocked out. If there's a high enough demand for the 3rd one then I'll do it. But I kinda wanna review some other things (still somewhat related to this world), so it would be a bit before I review the 3rd one.

Also, my Wattpad and Notes App  crashed multiple times while making this part. I think the universe was giving me a sign. 😂
