It was very interesting and not at all disturbing to the little feline.

Pointed ears flicked slightly as she heard the scratching of Ryse starting to write things down, and this dream suddenly felt correct. "Really!" She sounded slightly excited about it, maybe a too little much so if one was assuming she'd just merely heard about this. "If I had to guess I'd say it takes a remarkably powerful Rage Beast and someone with a strong enough mind to not lose themselves to the bond for it to work." Even now, she could feel the 'connection' there and it was nearly more comforting than anything else in her life had been to be bound to Chaoris once more. "They probably don't all do it, from his explanation it allows us to always be able to send telepathic information to each other, from my own prior telepathy experience not everyone likes someone else being able to do that without limit." She'd had a few people try to kill her over the potent powers she possessed in terms of mental strength, but of course those were just dreams.

"I'd never actually felt the 'burn' of fire before that moment, considering I wield the kind I do, normally I'm unable to feel such a thing." Yet, he could make her feel it, the things she wanted to do around him made her feel so much. "It's actually an exhilarating moment like sparks flying you can feel the connection burning it's way into every part of you." That was the warmest she could ever remember feeling if she didn't count a few of her other dreams involving him and how he made her feel. How did someone feel so strongly for an entity that didn't even exist? Nyx didn't know, but it was so hard to wake up because she felt it in every crevice of her soul even when she woke making her time awake painful because he wasn't real.

Sitting there she chuckled slightly. "Fairly decent for me, considering I can teleport anywhere I can envision." which meant if he ever needed her, she could literally just spawn herself in. Nyx wondered if he had such an ability, part of her thought he could do something similar.

The teenager listened diligently to what the little blood devil was saying, writing down what she thought was important. Nyx seemed a little too excited about this. So not every blood devil could create this bond with a rage beast, it seemed.

His explanation? Who was ‘Him’? “You’re talking about Chaoris, right?” She asked as she wrote a question mark next to the name, raising an eyebrow. She had a strong feeling that was exactly who she was referring to, but one could never be sure. Especially when the person she was talking to wasn’t in her right mind at the moment.

She furrowed her brows as she thought about what was being said….. She had a blood bond with him? The god of blood, battle, skulls, and honor? Did she think the meetings with him were dreams too? Like she believed this one with her was? If so, this was very concerning. She opened her mouth to ask another question when the blood devil said something next that made her freeze.

“I’d never actually felt the ‘burn’ of fire before that moment, considering I wield the kind I do, normally I’m unable to feel such a thing.”

Ryse’s hand stopped petting Nyx, simply resting on her head. The pencil stopped moving, halting mid-sentence. Her heart began to beat faster, and her grip tightened on the pencil in her other hand.

“It’s actually an exhilarating moment like sparks flying, you can feel the connection burning its way into every part of you.”

Her face paled. Her stomach tied itself in knots, a wave of nausea rising so fiercely she had to stop herself from vomiting. Her heart pounded wildly in her chest as panic and terror set in. Her gaze turned blank, horror and pain clear to see in her eyes. She could feel the hellfire that had engulfed her a few days ago. The searing, indescribable agony as it burned away her skin and ate away at her, turning her skin black and charred--

‘STOP.’

She forced herself to close her eyes, taking slow calming breaths. She focused on Nyx’s fur between her fingers as her hand began gently petting her again. ‘Stop.’ She thought again, loosening her white-knuckled grip on the pencil. The cool breeze that blew past felt nice on her skin; her unburnt skin that was perfectly fine. She was fine.

She was... Fine.

“s….sorry.” Ryse apologized softly as she opened her eyes again, wiping away a single tear from her eye. Her heart finally returning to its normal pace and the nausea stopped. “I… got lost in thought, I guess.” Her voice a little strained. “I-If it’s okay with you. Can I hold you for a bit? Pease?”

If Nyx agreed, she would put down the notebook for a moment and gently scoop up Nyx, placing the cat in her lap. Her writing hand would once again pick up the pencil, which now had a crack along its side from how tightly she’d been holding it, picked up the notebook, and finished writing the sentence she was working on before. The hand that had been petting Nyx would continue to do so as if nothing had happened. There was a hole in the page she was writing on, where the point of the pencil had dug into the paper. “So um, what was it you were saying? You can teleport anywhere you envision yourself? Does that include anywhere in Mistere? Or other regions too?”

For some reason, feeling the cat’s fur helped ease the tension in her body. And while she didn’t say so, she was embarrassed at what had happened. She didn’t even know what had just happened. She very clearly wasn’t on fire. There wasn’t even fire around her, let alone on her. So why...? Why did she feel like vomiting at the mere thought of hellfire? Why had it felt like she was on fire, even thought she wasn’t? It made no sense to her.

She shoved the thoughts aside as she focused once again onto what Nyx was saying. Deal with that later. She wanted to continue with her questions. She wasn’t about to let this little incident, whatever that had been, stop her.

The agreement had been to become part of his pack through the bond for purposes of communication. Yet, no matter how many times Nyx repeated that to herself it always felt like so much more than some minor convivence with a near stranger.

Nyx jolted slightly looking over at Ryse while wearing the blindfold, oh yeah this was a dream it would make sense this dream figment automatically knew about Chaoris otherwise it wouldn't be very convenient. "Yeah." the single word sounded fond and anyone experienced enough with emotion could probably hear the love in her voice with ease. Loving him had never required she believe him capable of returning it thus even not believing him real she still couldn't stem the flood of affection she felt towards the rage beast.

Twitching ears heard the crack as the pencil gave way slightly and she could clearly smell the change in emotion and it was very confusing for the female as there was nothing she'd done that should trigger that reaction in the dream figment. What was going on here? For several long moments with Ryse having this reaction the Kasha considered what could be causing it. Suddenly almost like lightning it struck her and made the little feline only too eager to be picked up by the hybrid. If a phoenix had fallen to hellfire in the library and Ryse was having this reaction it meant the library instance was a dream which meant breaking into the phoenix afterlife to steal Ozaki back was also a dream. No wonder she hadn't gotten to see which phoenix trail he was part of. "Yeah, sure. It's normal to flip out over something's that's killed you." she paused briefly, readjusting herself in the hybrids arms with a slight sigh. "It may all just be dreams, but I still feel the divine electricity if I think anything is going to take me from him again like they nearly did when I was a ghost. If he hadn't deemed me worthy enough to revive, it would have been over and getting reminded of that by mention of exorcists-" maybe it wasn't best to mention it made her want to kill every single last one of them so if she ever was a ghost again, nothing could separate her from the god she adored so. However, at least what she said may have gotten across the point to her dream figment that she understood.

"Anywhere. I mean to be technical I can even teleport via breaking boundaries, like into the phoenix afterlife or such for example, but it's exhaustive to put out that much energy. It's how I know that it's all dreams, I can't go to the places we should have been prior to the library had he been real, they don't exist. I mean even if a location has changed if I know it I can still go, but nothing happens when I try with anything prior to the library between us." Little did she know that was because those locations didn't exist in this world they were not somewhere she could reach simply by utilizing teleportation, it was further a jump than to the phoenix afterlife with many more barriers and navigational issues in between. Impossible.

Yeah…. Ryse could definitely detect strong hints that Nyx felt strong affection for the god. She hadn’t even been in love before, but she knew what it looked like. Nyx sounded like a lovesick puppy. She wondered if the blood devil had been following Chaoris around recently. She might have. Anyone that deeply in love would do anything for those they shared their affections with.

When Nyx mentioned that it was normal to have reactions like that, she blinked and looked down at the feline. It was comforting to know that she wasn’t actually going crazy. And that someone else knew what it was like. But even so. How did Nyx know that she died in the first place? And if she knew… who else knew?

“How… did you know?” She asked hesitantly. Also…. Nyx had been a ghost once? As in…. she could turn into a ghost? Or that she had been killed and had been a spirit for a little while?

When the devil began speaking about what places she could teleport to, she created a list of the places she had mentioned. The teenager didn’t know what library she was referring to. She knew there was one in the school, and several in the city of Mistere. But people would probably notice if there was a strange rage beast wandering around the school. So she assumed it was one of libraries located within the city.

“You can go into the phoenix afterlife?” She wondered curiously. She knew that others could get sucked into the afterlife; even if it was the design of some crazy phoenix gods. But she’d never heard of anyone physically teleporting into it before. “How does that work? The spirit world is usually different for every phoenix. I didn’t even think someone could jump into someone else’s trial.”

Against her own knowledge? Nyx had indeed been spending real time with Chaoris once more, actually neither of them realized but that made it all the more ironic. She'd drawn blood again by now, but the devil refused to admit it as truth thus pushed herself further into delusion. Unable to accept the memories she had regained as anything beside madness, she couldn't accept herself. Yet, the urge to let the truth she discovered beside him shine through was to insanely powerful it drove her closer and closer to madness with every ounce of denial.

It was slowly becoming evident how torn she was turning even outside of someone able to hear about her 'dreams' when someone could hear things like this it was painfully clear how wide the gap was becoming. "Oh, simple I found out they took Father so I broke in to take him back by force. He may know numerous phoenix's but none of them are acting scared to death of anything, cept you." the female stood, moving to sit beside Ryse before she transformed swiftly into her larger form laying down, now several times fluffier than she had been before, instead of a few centimeters of fluff she had several inches of thick currently plushy fur since she hadn't warred anytime recently. "So the line suggests you must be the phoenix who died to result in that." it was simple logic really, only not really considering she was seemingly going mad and madness did not entail logic.

"I can go wherever I want. Plus, even if each pocket spirit world is different for everyone, they all exist on the spirit plane which I can traverse freely by combining several of my physic powers, its a matter of having a way to navigate, I know enough about father to track him." she laid her head down on her massive paws, flexing the claws in them once. "To be frank, if I can fit my mouth around someone I can bring other's with me as well." she yawned slightly, being a six foot tall cat it was frankly highly possible to fit someone in her mouth, especially if they had a smaller form.

Ryse was quiet as she listened to what the little blood devil was telling her. She already knew that there was something mentally wrong with Nyx; the fact that the other thought this was all a dream made that extremely clear to her. The question was, what could she do about it? Right now, she was going along with it because it seemed the safest option at the moment. Telling Nyx the truth was what had gotten her in this situation in the first place, and the blood devil was in denial everything.

When the other transformed and laid down beside her, the teenager placed a hand on her back. She was indeed much fluffier. It was like petting a cloud, or a fluffy sheep. Ryse tilted her head a little upon hearing that Ozaki knew multiple phoenixes, and that she was the only one that was acting scared. Had Nyx visited all of them to find out which one had died? Was she the last one the blood devil had visited? In order to travel to each one, she'd have to have known their locations. That being said, if Nyx knew she'd be here, had this meeting been planned, or was it just coincidence? "I didn't know that was going to happen, honestly." She apologized quietly, running her fingers through Nyx's fur. "That they were going to pull him into the trial. I was just as surprised as he was that he was there." Not that she'd even realized she was dead in that point of time. She had just found it strange. It wasn't until after Yuuto disappeared and her wounds appeared on her body that she'd realized that she was dead, and that she was in the trial.

Hmm.... so Nyx can teleport to the spirit plane. That was interesting.

"You know, I've never tried carrying anyone in my mouth before." She mused. Being a seven and a half foot tall dog it was probably possible, though. "I've picked people up by the back of their shirt." Carrying someone in her mouth, the thought made her worry she'd accidentally crush them. Her jaws were strong enough to kill deer if she bit their neck.

Feeling hands sink into her thick fur the feline relaxed slightly under the touch, while it was weird when someone considered this her secondary body in her dreams she used it so much that it was more natural to be treated like some pet. "You can lay in it if you want, I'm not unadjusted to people getting a bit cuddly with my fur when they're not terrified of me." Nyx was not above occasionally letting companions use her as a pillow or such, not that it happened very often considering she spent most of dream-time fighting and rarely took this form outside of dream time until she'd been locked in it and trying to avoid everyone.

At one time the little devil had the serenity if mind to develop strategy even amongst the heat of battle when it seemed as if she was nothing besides a berserker, fighting and plotting for her honorable victory being the same as breathing for her. Sadly, that was no longer the case! While the skillset still slept deep inside of her the girl currently didn't even have the peace of mind to plot this meeting, it had just been a string of coincidence's and her own developing madness that had allowed her to unravel all of that. Ryse spoke about her trial and the devil turned kasha realized something as she listened attentively. "You know, I think that I'd have stormed the place anyways, if they didn't revive you, even if he wasn't there." it was fun having the relatively innocent hybrid around, if she had needed to fight some phoenix gods to make sure that kept happening, Nyx knew she would. After-all the optimal end for her was the rest of a champion when everything was nothing but blood and bones turned to dust beneath it all. She'd never exactly been sane.

"Somethings taste absolutely gross, so it would take some dedication." and she doubted Ryse would ever be able to carry things of the total size she could, since her only requirement was fitting her maw around them not actually being able to hold them there. In that regard? She could probably put the hybrid girl in her physic stomach given a minute or two to accomplish it. "Plus you have to worry about jaw pressure, which I absolutely can't teach, if I need to carry something like that I just shove it in my physic stomach even if it's a person." the feline lifted a claw to pick at her fangs, cleaning between the longest set of them. "My jaws are for drawing blood, breaking bone, and consuming the flesh of sinners." she chuckled a bit, because it was only when she slept that her mouth was meant for those things, when she woke it was simply for breathing or something like that.

Even though Nyx had offered it, Ryse felt a little uncomfortable with the idea of lying on her like a pillow. Instead, closing the small notebook and putting the pencil off to the side, she transformed herself and after a moment of shaking out her black fur and fluttering her wings, she laid down beside the feline. In this moment she felt more comfortable being in her hybrid form rather than her human form. Maybe it was the fact that Nyx was an animal, like her. She hummed in contentment as she rested her head on her paws, her fur touching Nyx's. Just the physical contact of another person beside her was comforting. Someone either than her other friends. She considered Nyx a friend too, but right now she felt more open to talking about things with her than anyone else. The blood devil was sharing all of this information with her, even if she thought it was all just a dream. It was only fair to do the same.

"Thank you, Nyx. I appreciate it." She replied with a small smile. At least one person would do that, if she needed help. Well.... that wasn't quite fair. She had no doubt Oras would do the same thing, and possibly Ozaki. Though Oras would scold her for having to rescue her afterwards.

She wrinkled her nose a little as she imagined the blood devil storing things in her psychic stomach. "Do the things you store just go to another dimension or something until you need it again? How does it work?" Wouldn't that feel a little strange? It seemed like it to her, anyways. Then again, Nyx was talking as though she was used to it, so maybe it didn't bother her.

She raised an eyebrow at the eating sinners bit. Huh, well that was new. "Blood devils don't eat sinners though.... do they? I just thought they drank blood?" Was this another thing the people at the island conveniently forgot to mention to them? Or was this a different thing entirely?

As the teenager spoke, she thought about how she was going to help Nyx. Letting her be delusional like this wasn't good for her health, or anybody else's. She couldn't do anything by herself, however. She didn't know anything about mental illnesses. Maybe she should tell Ozaki, or another faculty member after this conversation was over. Maybe the nurse? Or a doctor?

Two large beasts laying in the middle of the courtyard, that would be a rather intimidating sight for anyone who came near. Of course, that ideal didn't bother her at all, the smell of fear could be just delightful and it helped weed out the weak who shouldn't be suffered to live. Knowing she was dreaming and thus there was no harm, nor any foul, it made fighting the urges deep inside so much harder than normal especially when she often freely indulged as she slept. Anyway, she quickly got a distraction, nodding when Ryse said she appreciated it.

A small chuckle emitted as Ryse started questioning her physic stomach and it was sometimes extremely difficult for people to grasp so she just stood up opening her mouth. If the hybrid was watching, she'd witness the feline's stomach contract as if she was going to heave, than stick out her tongue and angle her head downward, a longsword just falling to the ground out of seeming no where. The sword itself was not covered in saliva or stomach bile, in fact expect for some blood stained onto the blade it was spotless. "I have a second stomach that functions much like a pocket dimension. Clearly, not actually inside of my body." she gestured to the sword which even with her blindfold on she knew was longer than her natural stomach could ever hope to be in spite of her size. "Not that I recall how I know that, weird, but whatever." she was much more laid back like this, could care less why she didn't remember because in this state she sometimes got to stand next to him. "I actually found it by accident. Spit something up I couldn't remember swallowing, so I really don't know what all is there, though Mordred probably does." she had to swallow and spit him up to get him into the phoenix after-life at the end of the day, so he'd been there and she had no clue if time worked differently inside. Shrugging slightly she slid her mouth forward until she found the hilt of the blade tilting her head back and swallowing the weapon back into her stomach.

"It's not as if I planned to eat a body." she seemed a bit sheepish admitting that the meal had been entirely unplanned. "I just, we fought them spur of the moment after I ran into him, and than the one corpse just smelled of sin and next thing I knew, I was picking bones out of my teeth and not hungry. So whatever." It had been very tasty, even if it was just part of her dreams.

Okay. That made sense. But it was still a little disturbing watching the feline spit up a giant sword only to swallow it again a minute or two later. Ryse was concerned that she couldn't remember all the things she'd swallowed. What if she'd swallowed a person, and she didn't remember? Would they be stuck in the dimensional pocket until she accidentally spit them back up again? She also wondered who Mordred was. Was the person another one of Nyx's friends? An acquaintance perhaps?

The hybrid paused in what she'd been about to say as she heard Nyx's last statement. "You..... you've actually eaten people?" Whatever she was now ate people, she knew that. She'd been told that by Nyx herself. But it was still shocking hearing that one of her friends had eaten someone and didn't seem guilty about it in the slightest. "w... what... I mean.... even if you were hungry or fighting them, eating people isn't really okay... even if it's a criminal."

Which brought up another question. "What are you, if you don't mind me asking? I know you're not a cat. You don't smell entirely like one. And you're not a blood devil in this form." She didn't know what species Nyx was. She didn't even know if it was capable for her to control her urges to eat those who smell like sin.

Ozaki hated to admit it, but he had learned something from Mordred’s actions recently. It was that your child hating you did not mean you could just quit being a parent. In all fairness, he had also been trying to protect her from being exposed to Mordred and his gang. But it was too late for that. Now it was his duty to be there for Nyx, even if she hated him. but… He wasn’t entirely sure that was true given she had come to try and save him, even if he hadn’t really needed it in the end.

Heedless of the truth, he had to be there. He walked in right at hearing Nyx had eaten people. Ah. Good. That was a relief to hear she had been eating. Then what Ryse said next was enough to make his blood run cold… Colder anyways. No no no no. It had been hard enough to try and get Nyx to fight and hunt as a blood devil. This was… By Carmilla’s blood this was bad.

He walked rapidly over to them, a ski mask and a dark tinted pair of sunglasses as well as his normal long sleeved apparel and gloves protecting him fully from the blazing sun above.

“Ryse… Nyx is a Kesha right now. A species that is biologically required to eat people. There are many species that are required to eat people… And for them eating criminals with dead or alive bounties on their head is one of their best options that is acceptable within the law.” Ozaki’s voice came across as harder than he intended as he gave this lecture while walking toward them. Despite himself he could not find himself regretting it. Nyx had a hard enough time with eating as it was… If Nyx took what Ryse said to heart lives would be on the line.

A kesha could go a much longer time without eating than a blood devil… However once they reached a certain point it was then that they lost control. One that did not feed their species base desires and instincts was fated to be overcome by them. “And if she is able to become a blood devil again killing will be just as important.” That was a truth he had known needed to be hammered into Nyx… Whether she became Fluffy or not, when she was a blood devil going without killing was literal torture.

He really should take a note out of his own lecture though... Ozaki really did need to learn how to feed properly. And who better than the scum of Mistere? To anyone else he would say it was okay.... Ozaki needed to apply that to himself. Sharaku had been right about that... Even if he had not been talking about this particular thing. If he treated himself like he treated literally anyone else that was like him... He'd have caused himself considerably less suffering over the years. To anyone else he would hear their stories with compassion and understanding. But himself? Never. That had to change. If he was going to give others such options to try and live their life within the rules of society, he had to accept them as well.
