As the realization slowly dawned on Nephis at what she exactly said to sunless only one thing came to her mind when she saw his enraged face.' sh.. shit'. For someone who had an enate affinity for using shaping and true names she really had to work on her own wording in conversations. Shaking that thought away she opened her mouth tried to speak.
Once she tried toexplain what she meant by 'possesion' the words slowly managed to form into a shaky but coherent sentence. "Ss... Sunless what I meant was..." But before she could ever finish sunless's voice responded like a loud boom." Po.. Possession are you fucking with me right now nephis. After all the trials we've been through all these years together you'd use that word to describe me, I'm not even a person to you huh?."
As the words came from sunless's mouth the shadows around them began to stir and shift so much so if an on looker had been watching the confrontation it would have looked like the shadows were dancing. As the environment around nephis began to change her usual pale complection started to become an unhealthy hue as sunless's hold on her neck tightened at a rapid pace leaving her no room for air to breathe. With this happening nephis only had one thought on her mind ' wh..what is he trying to kill me right now.'
As nephis was struggling against sunless's grip on her neck her thoughts became jumbled and incoherent but even so she had enough clarity to figure out that sunless was indeed trying to kill her. With this realization it took her all of the willpower she had to restrain her perfectly honed and trained instincts to burn the one man she loved alive, subsequently turning him into ashes.
So she attempted one last time to get through him, and if words didn't work out then she would have to use violence to get through to him. Using all her strength to open her mouth and speak. " Ss .... sunless .. please stop or your going to do something you'll regret." Nephis adorned with a somber and mellencollic look she slowly but surely raised her hand and carrested sunnys face. " S~sunless please y..you don't h...ave to do this" she said her voice growing weaker as the remaining air left her body she continued to plead. "I..I know y...you don't want t..to do this f..for I know you love me to..s.... So please sunless stop this."
As nephis spoke these words sunless's face that was once filled with murderous rage was now slowly replaced by a creeping despair with tears falling down from his face like a rain all the while his lips spreading out like a crack, forming a crooked frown adorned with gritting teeth in the middle of it. But slowly yet surely his mouth began to move followed out by shaky breath and a pained yet convicted voice saying... " Y... Your right...I do love you .. and I don't want to kill you either..."
When sunless spoke those words a flicker of hope ignited in nephis's slowly dimming beautiful grey eyes, but then... Sunless continued to speak while slowly tightening his grip." Bu... But If I want my freedom back ..... I'll have to do what's ever necessary in order to get it...I..I'm sorry neph... If you are able to.... Then please forgive me."
When those words entered nephis's ears tears began to fall from her eyes like a waterfall as the realization hit, that once sunless had made up his mind there was no way to convince or change it. Slowly but surely nephis's eyes began to close as sunless's grip tighted on her neck, she took a breath of air through her nostrils and embraced the darkness steadying her mind for what was about to happen next.
suddenly a torrent of white flames bursted all around nephis's body causing sunless to dismiss his avatar and hide in the shadows. As the torrent of white flames slowly died down a radiant figure of a woman could be seen in the middle with there hair flowing like a lake of pure like, wearing armor as bright as the stars in the night sky them selves holding a silver sword that seemed to be made of pure light in her hand.
As figure continued to stand there, suddenly chains made of Shadows emerged from where the flames were, now wrapping the woman's body up tightly restraining her arms and legs bringing her down to her knees causing her head to fall downwards. Then out from the shadows a demonic figure with raven black hair wearing dark onyx like armor that seemed to absorb the light surrounding the radiant figure wearing a dreadful demonic mask where eyes pure darkness lived inside. With the demonic figures arrival the shadows began to become deeper and stirred as if they were celebrating the arrival of there lord. Then the figure raised its arm beconing the shadows to answer its call, the shadows did so and shortly after a long dark odachii manifested into the deamons hand and pointed the tip of the blade at the throat of the chained figure of the radiant woman in front of him. As if responding to the action the radient figure raised her head up and looked the demonic man in the eyes and said in a somber and pained tone." So we're really doing this aren't we sunless". The demonic figure with its blade still pointed at the woman's throat responding in a deep dark and sinister tone " No." As if expecting that answer nephis looked at the figure and said in a quiet almost inaudle whisper."I.... I see."
One moment passed which felt like years between the two figures after the interaction between them. But neither moved as if hesitant to strick the other. Then in a sudden burst of strength the radient woman destroyed her chains in a torrent of radiant white flames and swung her sword towards the demonic figure in front of her. Expecting this the demonic figure dissolved into the shadows and appeared right behind the woman. Using the momentum of its armor encased body in a black blurr turned its body and swung with its dark odachii. Sensing the on coming attack nephis prepared a strike of her own an swung her silver long sword at the demonic figures black odachii.
As the two blades meet a dreadful yet melodic ringing resounded from the collision causing the sound to permiate the air all around the city. Like a bell that had signaled the end of days.

And right beside him a woman with olive skin and brown hair with well defined musculature that looked like it was painstakingly carved out by a god, but strangely enough she was carrying a small child in swaddle cloth. And right next to her Is a annoyingly handsome young man with alburn hair and absolutely perfect features. All standing there with one singular thing on there mind ' where the hell did that cockroach go.'

Elsewhere underneath a large pile of rubble lie a young patite girl with hair like a river of melted gold wearing a blindfold over her eyes . From the outsiders perspective the looked perfectly reasonable and a little to calm with the fact that she was berried underneath a pile of ruble but within the beautiful girls heart it was another story for she felt as if the whole world had ended.
