Raven slide into Daremo's mind, and almost screamed. But what she thought was her father looking at her was a map with his picture on it. Raven took a step forward before a feeling like something was rubbing on her feet caught her attention. She slowly looked down and saw a small kitten, purring while rubbing itself on her ankles. It was then she heard a feminine voice call out, "Socks! Socks, Where are you?" before the speaker turned the corner and came face to face with Raven, and screamed. Raven took a step back and lifted her hands into the air, while saying, "Who are you?" The Speaker who was a Red-head with hair to her shoulders and green eyes said, "I am Lily. Who are you?"
Raven put her hands down before answering, "My name is Raven. Daremo invited me into here."
"Oh. You asked about me when he was drunk, huh? Ever since I died he became a drunkard with a vendetta. Stupid asshole. He took the name Daremo again?"
"Yes. What can you tell me about him?"
"That he is the worlds BIGGEST BABY! Sorry…. He makes me so mad some times."
"so you live in his head?"
"no. I am a manifestation of his memories and expectations of me."
Raven looked confused as she asked, "What do you mean by manifestation? your like a ghost in his mind?"
Lily frowned, "If you put it very basicly. The closest thing you would understand me as is one of your emotions in your mind."
"Wait, you know about that?"
"You really are young aren't you. You are in his mind, he knows everything you do. He can see every memory you hold, plus a few you cant remember."
"how?"
"You're in HIS mind. you cant have any barriers in your own mind if you come here. But, likewise you can see all of his memories and a few he refuses to see. One thing most people don't know is that a select few can use more than the normal ten percent of their brain. In that same sense, Most people, not knowing they could, lose the potential they did have."
"So what does this have to do with what is going on now?"
Lily smiled, "Everything, Rae. For what you stand in is the supposed inactive ninety percent of John's brain."
"John? Who's John?"
Lily frowned, "John is the real name of the jackass we are standing in. But we should refer to him by his chosen name now. The big crybaby might whine."
"How can you mock him so knowing what he has done?"
"It's easy once you have been married to them. I was his wife when i died. One thing he knew that nobody else did was that i was pregnant with our first child. That was one reason he is doing what he is, revenge."
"Revenge? i think he has had revenge several times over judging by the amount of kills we had found. Why doesn't he-"
"What you found is nothing compared to what was real. You would be surprised with how far the reach of the Lights went. He said he would kill every last member, and he is, but his primary target is the boss, Loki. It was Loki who killed me."
"He was asking about a Loki..."
"And now you know why. I have to go, other manifestations require my attention. Be careful. You will find a lot of creatures and people wandering around. Some are quite dangerous."
Raven frowned and answered, "I think I can take care of myself." Lily shook her head and said, "Yea, yea, the whole half- demon thing. You should still be careful. Everybody has demons. But some of those demons are worse than the others." With that Lily turned away and left, socks following her while mewling. Raven frowned as she turned towards and looked like a door. She paused before reaching out. She had been warned. Raven raised her other hand, making sure it was ready with energy, and then she opened the door. As the door swung open a brilliant light shot out before engulfing her entirely-
-and then it had dissipated, Leaving Raven in a field outside a house. She looked around before she saw Lily again, but as she went to call out, Daremo appeared. Raven shut her mouth as she saw him. But the weirdest part was he was holding Lily's hand as he lead her into a nearby house. Raven waited a little bit before following, but in her hurry she failed to notice her surroundings, missing the clothes that were strewn about, and got an eyeful of Daremo with his face in Lily's bare chest, mouth clamped on a nipple. Raven froze as the thought, 'I should not be here I should not be seeing this, ran through her head, but it wasn't until Lily's moan that Raven phased away. When Raven opened her eyes, all she saw was a fist coming towards her. she dodged and went to retaliate, but the guy that had tried to hit her was dead, as were many more as she recognized Daremo, who was at the current moment killing what appeared to be anything that moved. His sword would cut through one man and stab another in the same move, Daremo's hand never stopping. Raven, always proud of her stomache control, couldn't help herself. The carnage was too great. She vomited. She wiped her mouth as she straightened up, but jumped when a towel was thrust in front of her face. She took the towel and turned, and found herself staring into Daremo's eyes, but they were different. the face was the same but his eyes, instead of being all black as they were, were an emerald green that rivaled Lily's. Raven gasped. Daremo chuckled and said, "I see that you are still safe, but you need to watch where you are going. Lily did not lie when she said it was dangerous. Trigon still roames in here, and while you are in here you are unprotected, though you will see him before he attacks."
"Trigon is HERE?"
"Trigon is how I got my powers, but when he tried to break our deal, I won. I control him in my mind. But my master is awakening. you need to go."
"But I need to see more." Even as she spoke she felt the world around her grow dimmer and before she knew it, she was back in her own body. She shivered in the wind, and jumped when she felt something being put on her shoulders. Daremo was awake and was apparently sober. "Its too cold for you to be out here wearing underwear and a cloak. Go back inside."
"What about you?"
"I can stand it. Go." Raven harrumphed and stood, but as she went to leave she looked back, only to see him bring out a picture. She paused before a quick "Go." was issued to phased down, but the last thing she saw was a tear falling from daremo's green eye onto the picture below...
