The journey into the frozen waste lands of frost had proven both a blessing and a curse. It gave Kamae plenty of space away from everyone to recover, he had spent a long time recovering on frost now, the demon was developing his body. Training it, strengthening it, he wielded magics older than creation itself, and his body could not channel it effectively. Somewhere within a cave, amongst the jagged rocks of a frozen tundra, hidden from the eyes of men and god alike. Kamae cave had grown much more accommodating to the demon as time had passed.
The inner walls oozed a black substance that could only be called primal magic. So thick and full of energy that it melted the very creation it touched, snow, fire and even the very air itself felt sickly wet. Like one was breathing in deep mold or moisture from an underground area having been neglected. It hung heavily in the air, clung tightly to any who dared approach. The cave itself looked more akin to the inside of a great beast torn open and painted black.
Pulsing strings of black ooze that hung from the ceiling forming pillars of wetness. The downward flow seeming to pulse as if breathing, as if it self was alive. Ancient magic that was the opposite to this universes foundations, and it showed. The black ooze clawed at the outskirts of his boundary, as if trying to scoop as much of the world about it into itself like a man dying of thirst and trying to drink as much of the area it could. Kamae on the other hand was seated in the middle of the deepest chamber, cross legged and eyes closed. Body covered from head to toe in the black ooze, its vile contents originating from his person.
It came off him in thick waves of gunk, like molten lava rolling from its origin point and spilling outwards in an ever expanding darkness. If Kamae was left here for hundreds of years, he might well devour the world in his magics... But that would take far to long and would be far to boring. Though the demon sat silently, and only the black primordial magic could be heard dripping and moving. The demon didn't move a single muscle, his whole frame relaxed and at ease.
It wasn't till the demons eyes opened, the pale milky gaze of Kamae staring blankly a head. The cracks in his skin were healing, and the damage done to him by his own forcing of his limits was beginning to fade away. He had indeed made leaps and bounds in his abilities sure... but he had to be careful to not over tax his flesh anymore than he needed too. After all, he could not switch bodies like he use to. Yet at least. Unknowingly by Kamae, rumors of a darkness filled cave had reached explorers of the empire of frost... He had been found. He could only hope he wasn't disturbed before he fully recovered.

"You again!?" A familiar voice would question. If Kamae turned around, he would see Liari's face manifest from the very air within the cavern, piecing together from the either in cubic/rectangular portions. Her boots would touch the ground in a thick, gunky splash, Liari's lips curling into a revolted scowl as she took in both the sight... and smell of the cavern. Oil-like slimy mucus coated the walls, the floors, the demon itself, slowly dripping off the walls as if Kamae had taken more than a couple buckets of fresh paint to the place. What was worse than all that... was the magic, foul and eldritch like a can of sardines fresh off the 300-years-ago shelf opened up since its canning. Its ethereal scent caused the full-grown majin's skin to crawl, her eyes flickering between red and sliver, uncertain what she had walked into.
"...Disgusting." She decided, turning her nose up at the mess. She looked at the demon whose face, shattered like cheap ceramic, was slowly stitching itself back together. In honesty, she didn't expect to see this... THING outside of his little play-pen in hell. She had simply assumed Janemba had gotten him after she'd never seen him or, perhaps, the ogres had shoved him through the soul-scrubber. He didn't exactly SEEM the type to like all the things the mortal realm had to offer. He was... too weird. So what brought him here...? And why the mess and- ...Wait a second... Something was wrong here. Something was... missing. Liari stared at the back of the twisted thing's head until her gaze drifted... and realized that Kamae's pet giant was nowhere to be seen! Liari smirked at her own perceptiveness, snapping her fingers to signal her brainwave.
"Left your friend behind, did you?" The majin noted, the slightest hint of razor-sharp sarcasm in her voice. "...Figures. He seemed a little too normal for you. I mean... all this..." She waved a hand at the gunk surrounding them. "...Its a little much, dontcha think?" ...It only just now occurred to her that this... thing had been wounded, that what she was standing in wasn't just one's average, everyday black, oily substance. It could have been blood... blood that the walls and floor of the cavern had been literally painted with. Another shiver of disgust ran up Liari's spine... that WOULD explain the smell...
"...Ugh... Gross..." She muttered, waving a hand over her face, batting back the stench before it could set in. "...But what are YOU... doing here? Did eternal torment not sit well with you? Did your breakup with your giant boyfriend make you run away? Why are you... on a rock like this?"

Kamae said nothing as a voice rang out, the all familiar tone of the majin from hell. The demon chose to ignore her provocations, instead focusing on the present. He didn't believe the majin could understand a bodies limits the same way he could. In a way he envied her, but in others the demon simply pitied her. He turned his eyes to the front as he tried to calm his mind. He had been encroached upon in his hour of healing by none other than the majin who had forced him into such a terrible state. "Healing... I had thought to find the most secluded place I could... it would seem I have failed."Kamae stated, unable to see the majin but his eye sight would be returning soon enough. He could feel it, even as his skin was slowly etching itself back together, black ooze gripping the broken sides and pulling them together like a construct. The air about the demon shifting subtly and then as if on command, the black sludge departed from them, leaving them standing on a section of stone pulled up from deep below the ice. The sea floor flora reaching out for air as they were slowly sufficated by the sudden lose of their natural habitat Nightmarish sea creatures flopped about the stone floor while Kamae looked over his shoulder. Milky eyes vacant... empty and full of unlife. An abomination hidden away from his allies to heal... to hide away his disgusting form and avoid needless conflict. But it didn't hide the hideous truth.... {Sightless Eyes} "Why do you follow me? If you wish to spit insults or are looking for a victim... You have not found one."Kamae then returned his gaze back once more, the sightless gaze of Kamae peeling itself away from the girl and returning to sitting upright. The sound of running water could be heard as the ocean itself began to boil below them. Steam emitting from them as the black ooze seeped into the ocean, poisoning it like a vile pollutant. While it would not cause drastic change... it would certainly leave a few heads turned as to why this part of the ocean was empty. "You know me... I know you... Speak and let us be done with it...."Despite his sitting position, it was clear his ooze was working beneath them, surging and boiling. It desolved the very rock beneath them, turning earth below the sea into mushy black primal magic. "I have many experiments to do... I am to recover and return to my work. I will not be hindered, or denied... even by death."Kamae stated, clearly aware that Liari could slaughter him, but if Kamae didn't want to be found again he would disappear. He had been so focused on healing he had not noticed her approach. He would not let that happen again. Again Liari was teaching him new things, never before had he fought someone with the ability to do as he did... To move from one space to the next with ease. While he knew she could alter creation and her own flesh in this little pocket in the endless sea of black... but when Kamae knew the vast emptiness by heart and having traversed it... This was but a bubble in the vast sea of the void. Waiting to rise to the top and... pop.

"This..." Liari questioned, her voice a mix of genuine interest... and disgust. "...Is how you HEAL? You spray your gunk all over the place?" The majin couldn't begin to imagine the alien processes going on over the walls and around her boots. If this was how he recovered from damage, she'd HATE to see what it was like when he was genuine wounded. Somehow, she didn't picture it at ALL being sanitary. The demon would then turn to her, his black, weeping sockets somehow burrowing into Liari's eyes... despite having nothing but gunk inside of them. He asked WHY she had followed him and she cocked her head...
"...I'm pretty sure I got here first." Liari stated, referring to the planet. "The reason I'm here, in this cave, is because you're suddenly here. I couldn't ignore your power... or the smell of it... if I wanted to. You just aren't subtle. ...Though, I assume you know that already." Eyeing up Kamae, Liari couldn't possibly see the shattered-porcelain-faced black-oil-sludge-blooded demon-thing going ANYWHERE without drawing attention! Heck, the only way he could possibly get around town without making a mess would be from teleportation and, even then, there'd probably be a puddle where he last stood! How COULD he survive like that, weeping all that black, oily stuff constantly...? Most humanoids would be dead in MINUTES if they lost that much blood!
Liari was somewhat disappointed that the demon seemed less-than-interested in their little parlay, effectively telling her to get to the point or get out in as polite-a-way as something such as he, all eldritch and ugly, was capable of!
"Well, excuse me, your goopiness..." Liari scoffed, rolling her eyes. "...but I just HAD to see what was going on when I felt your power. I mean... You REALLY don't fit here, do you? You barely look VAGUELY human, let alone like a changeling." Liari grinned, swiping her hand over her face, her features instantly shifting with the passing of her hand to resemble a male changeling! "I however..." She continued her voice lower. "Can change my face..." With another handswipe, her face changed to a unique female changeling's. "...To whatever..." Another hand swipe, her voice and face returning to normal. "...I want. Its a perk of mastering magic." Liari smiled smugly... then sighed, resting her hands against the back of her head and leaning back, doing her best to ignore the shifting of the black goop around her boots as she did so.
"...But to answer your question, I came because I'm bored. There. Happy? I didn't think things like you NEEDED to experiment. You have the whole 'I'm-old-and-know-dark-secrets-of-the-eldritch-darkness' schtick going on. You unfathomable types seem to know EVERYTHING about EVERYTHING." Liari thought back to the old Earthling legends of octopus-headed giants that were so smart, they could think through dimensions, so magical, they twisted universes of space, so unfathomable, even attempting to reach the same wavelength was like for a human child to throw a rock across a planet. Somehow... it Kamae seemed to fit comfortably in that category... if only in appearance. Maybe he was just a baby one-of-those-monsters...?
"What I wanted was some entertainment... But I guess without your backup-dancer, I'm not getting that... am I?"

Kamae simply looked at the majin as she changed her face, altering how she appearance but that did not alter her to Kamae. He saw through petty disguises and the attempt at such pitiful escapes. His eyes saw her very dna, the structure of who she was fundamentally, the building blocks of the flesh that she inhabited had a genetic blueprint it followed, like any creature. Kamae turned to her fully and snorted, even his blind eyes could see past such limited Mimicry. He couldn't sense energy, nor did he use his eyes to see, but he supposed telling her that was pointless. She wouldn't understand what he was.
"Mastering magic huh?"
Kamae stated, sounded disappointed in the girl for such simple minded thinking. She truly was just a brute with no thought beyond the next moment. Such wasted potential, such wasted power! The demon sighed as he slowly stood up and closed his blind eyes. Not that he was using them anyways.
"I come from a sea of black, where all things coalesce. Where magic is so ancient that it destroys all life it comes into contact with..."
Kamae looked down at his hand, flexing his palm as he considered the vast sea he had to get across just to arrive here.
"I once thought I knew everything there was to magic, until I learned to combine science and magic together. Then the door opened once more. You have not mastered magic fool, you have only let your ego block your sight to the next step in the ever changing galaxy."
Kamae didn't believe in stopping at learning one aspect of anything, and he didn't believe that either of them had reached their peak. But if the girl was willing to be so close minded, Kamae would not argue.
"I experiment because we are always changing, always evolving and growing... Nothing stays the same, and what I once knew changes into something I do not know in many years. A river of water running through a valley in a few centuries changes the land scape, or war. No living thing can deny change, and with change comes new forms of magic... But only a fool accepts the limits of "mastering" something. Pfft, truly the universes most horrific creature?"
Kamae snorted, uncaring if Liari packed the power of star killing ki, he was willing to die over and over and over again and again till he succeeded. Liari was patient, probably just as patient, but Kamae was willpower incarnate. Where there was a will, there was a way. He would never stop walking forward, even if it meant burning this galaxy to ash only to regrow it.
"I relish in my knowledge of things and my words because gaining power without sophistication is no different than a barbarian waving his stick around with no goal in mind. What have you accomplished as the most powerful being beyond destruction? Caused a little fear, that the little blue majin will blow up all their worlds? What happens when you meet an equally undying force I wonder Majin? Lets play the game of reincarnation, I'm game. I'll just grow stronger and stronger till I find a way to kill ya... and trust me... I WILL find a way if I want to. But no I want to experiment, to learn, and grow... to change... I am only a baby, a larva of what I will eventually become."
Kamae had stated before that he was like a parasite wasp... and he had laid the eggs of a terrible beast inside this universe. Now all the demon had to do was continue to grow. He was growing rapidly but not fast enough. In time though, Kamae knew he would rival this creature before him. He always did.

"Oh please. It's no big deal to blow something up." Liari scoffed, brushing aside Kamae's boast. "'Magic so old, it destroys all life it comes in contact with' huh? I can do that by blowing air." She waggled her finger in front of the decrepit, ink-stained face of the demon-thing. "...But to be able to change your face, to manipulate people and make them DO what you want... that takes a finesse your little ;ancient magics' thing is incapable of. I don't need some 'pure-black' nonsense to kill things. YOU, though, need to do something about that face of yours. Its tracking that gunk EVERYWHERE." Once more, the majin would gesture to her surroundings. Somehow, she imagined that this cave, the inside painted with oily, inky gunk, was what it looked like inside the ink cartridge of a well-used pen. ...And it smelled just as foul.
Kamae would take this moment, as smugly as you please, to explain WHY he was experimenting at all: "Because I'm a scared little man. Scared of the future..." or so Liari recognized he explanation as. He was afraid of change, this man, and was desperate to keep up. What exactly was he afraid of? WHY was he afraid? Did he even know? Were there even answers to these questions? As far as these ones went, Liari would glean no answers from his smug confidence, only that he was determined to kill Liari for... what reason...? Because she humiliated him when she was dead?
The thought brought a smile to her face.
"Oh, you can try all you want." Liari smirked, pacing back and forth across the oily black room. "...But you see... I won't stay dead for long. Consider the fact I am here. Did you notice the halo above my head when you first met me...?" The majin pointed above her crown, wiggling her finger as if to draw his attention. "...And notice how it's not there anymore...? Have you ever wondered why the people YOU might've killed or who I might've killed haven't come back yet too...? Its because I'm special." Liari grinned, a sinister edge to that last word. "...Something brought me back. I don't know what, I don't know WHO... but something is looking out for me. ...And I'm willing to bet you can't kill me hard enough that it can't bring me back... So let's skip the idle 'I'll kill you' and 'I insult you' chatter. Save it for when you can actually hurt me and I'll take you seriously. Deal?"
Liari would offer thumb's up... then she realized something as old and gunky as he wouldn't understand the gesture. ...There was a certain petty enjoyment she took in knowing something this guy didn't. ...Well, maybe she would let him in on another little secret...
"You know... You really do stink..." Liari noted, her nose scrunching up for emphasis. "...Of Evil. I can practically taste in the air around you, and old and rancid as the black place you came from. Did you know that evil people are REALLY easy to get into the minds of...?" Liari would tap the side of her head and grin, her silver eyes flashing a deep red. "...All it takes is a thought and I'm inside. ...And someone like you...? I could make you dance for me like a puppet on some strings. You can pretend you're all old and special all you want... You can think you're so high and mighty, better than me... but no matter how much you experiment with your goop, you will always be my toy. Please don't forget it... I'd hate to rearrange your parts... And you're so... interestingly put-together as you are now." Liari's grin would then spread wide, as did her arms, opening herself up to the black-blooded demon.
"...So lets do this the easy way for a change, huh? Why don't you do me a favor and work for me willingly? You and your little giant friend? I can promise you... there are more benefits to doing what I tell you the first time. For example... More things to test on than just... this. It must be hard fiddling with your own goop every day, isn't it...? I mean, you gotta draw it out all over the place, splatter it all over the walls, the whole shebang. What if I could provide you with more than that to preform your funky little experiments...? I won't even ask what they are."

Kamae amused that they were simply threatening each other when she thought the same it seemed. Regardless, the demon said nothing more as she claimed she could control him, something the demon doubted very much. Sure she had the power, but Kamae was a walking mental beacon. But regardless, he decided that he was not going to get anywhere with this majin. That armored man's plan never was going to work it seemed... How unfortunate that evil was so desperate to control everything, they could not see the benefit of aligning themselves. It was not just this majin, it was so many others who let pride blind them and ultimately found themselves opposed to everyone. He had been much the same, but he could not force a creature high on its own might to see reason.
"... No. I will not be a servant of another. I WILL work with you... but I cannot trust that you will not disrupt my own workings. At every angle have you spurned my offerings, of an alliance, and only by breaking the knee can you seem to get what you want. No I am not one to follow one to their destruction, and I will sooner die then become a puppet of another."
With that, the demon took a long deep breath before drawing in all the magic around himself. The primal magic soon being consumed by Kamae's own flesh as if it was a vacuum. His face was still cracked, and he was clearly still blind, yet he would not give in to anothers will... Never again.
"You can have my aid, and the aid of Halos. We will come to your aid when we are strong enough, and we will all gather together to discuss future plans... But you will not earn the others respect by barking orders or demanding our loyalty. Only one man in all of creation has ever earned the right to order me, and his name will never be spoken unless he demands it. I am eons old, but only a human has earned my respect enough as a mortal... to ever have the reins of me."
Kamae was referring to Derry, the only man in all of creation that had ever earned Kamae's respect. Not only able to see past the evil Kamae did but also saw the benefits. Kamae had found Derry once more, and bent the knee willingly to his master. Yes... He had admitted it to himself upon his second meeting of the man... Derry was his master, and Kamae would always answer his call... Always.
"Kill me... Or not. I care little. But if you wish to fight me, then I will oblige. I have not fully recovered but fighting you last time surpassed this flesh's limits... I wish to do so again. Even if it kills me, I will simply come back again and again. I know you are not dead anymore, and I am sure you share a similar ability to find ways to return. But we will get no where like this. If its a fight you want, as mentioned before... Then I will gladly take the chance to explore this flesh's limits."
Kamae stated, his blind gaze staring at the ground while he waited patiently for Liari to begin or to kill him. Either way, he was not going to bend the knee.

Kamae might've been having fun with this whole thing... but Liari wasn't. Was this thing mad...? Was he INSANE? Did he not understand what she was telling him...? She could TWIST his little mind any way she wanted using his EVIL as a handhold to PULL herself into his thoughts! She could literally make the darkness in him darker, darker, yet darker and make his shadows dance to her tune! ...And somehow he didn't think that was TERRIFYING!? LOSING HIS AUTONOMY!? When Kamae implied he wasn't the same as her, it turned out he was right... Liari would have lost her MIND at the thought of being a slave again, a puppet on someone else's strings! She was her own person... she HAD to be and yet, this THING... seemed more annoyed, perhaps even amused at her attempts to bring him under her thumb. 'Because I don't 'ally' with INFERIORS' Liari wanted to shout, the sentiment of Janemba echoing through her mind. What did it take to SCARE these people!? She just wiped a country's worth of people OFF THE FACE OF THE PLANET, and Kamae seemed little more than slightly put-out by her presence. There was bravery... there was arrogance... and then there was blindness, deafness, idiocy, and a whole lot of other insulting words dancing on the tip of the majin's tongue! It was either by chance that these feelings didn't reach Liari's face in time, or fate that this final effort at breaking Kamae's will had popped into her head. Maybe this THING was so brave because he also thought he was special. Maybe he thought that if she blew him away, he'd simply wake up in hell, do his time, and make his way out again as she had. ...And maybe, JUST MAYBE, that was true. Liari had never met anyone she'd killed back in the mortal realm (except that imposter that looked like Callion) but it was more than possible that SOMEONE out there had been chosen as she had been. ...Well, if SURVIVAL, while dead OR alive, meant so much to this THING, perhaps she could assert a fate FAR worse than death. "You know...? You're right." Liari conceded after a moment of silent seething. "...I've misjudged you. After all, I found you in hell. Its a comfortable place... when the tyrants aren't in season. For you, it'd be little more than a vacation in a wasteland before life reeled you back in..." Liari paused for effect, her eyes flashing a deep, threatening red. Suddenly, her tentacle would raise up, pointing right at Kamae. "Turn into CHOCOLATE." Suddenly, a shockwave-like energy-beam would erupt from the majin's tentacle-tip, enveloping the demon in a second if he couldn't get out of the way! He'd feel his body stiffen and contort most agonizingly, his flesh and goo flattening and hardening, segementing into a rectangular bar-like shape before... *POOF!*In a cloud of smoke, Kamae would have transformed into a small bar of DARK chocolate, Liari snatching him out of the air before he could fall into the surrounding goop! "This is how I know you're an idiot." Liari scoffed, juggling the chocolate bar between her hands. "You lived for how long...? Since forever, I think you said...? And you don't know how Majin Absorption works...?" Liari would catch the chocolate mid-toss out of the air, holding it up to her face and licking her lips. "...The best part is that they don't DIE when I eat them. They go right here..." Liari patted her belly with her free hand... "Then here..." She then lightly tapped the side of her head with her finger. "First, I get to eat you. I get to smash you apart with my teeth and you get to feel every little bit of it... just as how I know you can hear me speaking now. Next, your body gets entrapped and entombed within my mind inside of a 'People pod' where your mind, emotions, identity are scrubbed for anything I judge useful. Your magics, your powers, everything you are... at my command." ...And now for the fibbing. "...Everything I DON'T like about you... simply fades away. Gone. Consumed and absorbed and dissipated as if you never even existed. Not even death itself will claim you because, technically, you're still inside..." She patted her stomach again. "You will be digested a bit at a time. You will become as much as a sandwich is to me: a satisfaction to my hunger and then... nothing at all... Not even a soul. You will be inside forever... and you will never even know it." Liari tightened her grip around the bar. feeling the chocolate tremble and crack under her grip... before she tossed it in front of her and zapped it again with her tentacle. "Turn back... to normal." Liari muttered. If Kamae had been turned into chocolate, in the first place, he'd reappear back into his full, gruesome self. The majin would loom over him, her tentacles reaching out for the demon like an octopus poised to grab its prey. "Alliances are for equals. Companions are for friends. You... and YOUR friend will be my servants... or my snacks." Liari licked her lips again, eyes alight with anticipation. "...Serve me like you know you have to... Or I'll simply eat you and that giant-man and you will serve me as food. Decide." Liari paused dramatically again. "...Please. You have 5 seconds.""Five..." Liari began, leaning back casually, holding up her hand with all digits erect for the demon to see! "Four..." The thumb folds in. "Three..."WC: 932 TWC: 2664

Kamae simply sighed as he heard the girl finally admit he was right, to which he felt he was finally making ground. He smiled confidently as if someone who had won an argument, but it wasn't till the demon realized the girl had pointed at her using her tentacle that he felt his mistake. The sudden sensation of the world spinning, the consciousness losing and fading. Then he awoke in the hands of Liari, feeling a sudden new sensation in his gut.
Did she just say chocolate? Did Kamae just... Then she began to speak and his mind was reeling for answers. She then explained what happened to people absorbed by majins, a thing Kamae knew about in part but not its fully depth. In all his time studying majin's not one of them had used this ability on him... To suddenly have the tables turned so abruptly, it made Kamae's whole mindset flip on itself. Self preservation was now on the front of his mind... Fear, the idea that he would not die from Liari absorbing him had not even crossed his mind. He had assumed all people absorbed by majin's were killed during the process...
It was then he was turned back to normal and the demon was left on his knees before the majin. Never had Kamae experienced such a thing, and never again did he wish to. If she could absorb him by turning him into candy and then sealing him inside her... The rest she had explained he didn't even want to think about. Sweat beaded Kamae's face in clear fear, his eyes were downcast while he processed this. He had assumed he could just defeat every foe at any turn with time, patience and determination... but Liari had just proven herself equal to the task of killing him.
Death... Death had its hands around Kamae's neck finally... It had caught up to him. He felt his hands shaking, his heart pulsing in his ears... His sweaty skin a sign of his fear even to himself. Slowly raising his gaze as the girl began her count down, as she reached three, the demon held up his hands in submission.
'Ok ok... I... Perhaps in light of new... information I can see your proposition in a new light..."
He lowered his gaze once more, kneeling before Liari in total submission. She had done the impossible, found something Kamae was genuinely afraid of and capable of backing it up. Never before had the demon been handled so easily, sure he had been beaten... Hell he had lost more fights than he had won... But to be stripped so utterly of his defenses and threatened with total death... In a way that was more horrific than what he could have thought possible.
"I will obey willingly..."
With that Kamae remained silent, not wishing to ignite the fire that might be the majins Anger. Kamae had never feared an individual before... but he had been cowed on a level he had never dreamed of. Liari had done the impossible.

He might've been irritating... and he might've been arrogant... but Kamae wasn't fool enough to still defy her after such a display. if fear was possible upon a face so twisted, the demon displayed it enough that the majin could pick up on it. His human-like body trembled in place as if it hadn't yet understood its reformation back into its natural state, his sunken-pit-eyes alight with the grim realization of helplessness, his form having dropped into a desperate kneeling position in hopes that it would satisfy that tyrant genie. Liari smirked, striding up to the thing so that she stood well over him... before kneeling down on the balls of her feet so that she crouched roughly eye-to-eye with Kamae.
"Do you finally get it now?" Liari questioned, reaching out for the demon... and then, once again realizing how gross and slimy his flesh was, retracted her hand, instead using it to point at herself with her thumb. "...I am the one in control. I make the rules... Follow them, and you'll be fine... BETTER than fine... I'll make sure you are comfortable... whatever that means to something like you." She then extended a finger, the tip jabbing a half-inch away from the bridge of his nose between his eyes. If he looked closely, he could see the faint sparkle of ki coagulating at the tip of her fingernail.
"...Betray me, and I'll find some way to make everything I told you more painful, agonizing, and unbearable than it sounds. I'll dedicate more time than you deserve to making what passes for your life a living hell. I promise you... You will NOT have fun if you turn your back on ME." ...The majin would then smile once more with sunshine, as if nothing threatening of vaguely frustrating had happened at all! "NOW! Get up! I have your first job ready for you!" Liari bounced back up to her full height, gesturing to Kamae to climb out of his muck and stand with her. If he did so, the majin would smile wider. "Your first objective is to get stronger. MUCH stronger. Maybe..." She wiggled her hand as if attempting to balance it in the air. "...Roughly three-to-four times stronger than you are right now...? Once you've done that... there's another planet I want you to go to. Have you ever heard of the world called 'Namek...?'"
Liari paused, waiting for an answer.
"It somewhere at the edge of the galaxy. It's a wonder what you can find in the old computers here, what data they have on the layout of important planetoids. Namek, you see, has been a part of all kinds of strange phenomena. It was where those green men come from... and some say its the source of untold magical powers. There's even rumors that two gods of Earth originated from there. Something tells me that planet is gonna be important one day. I want you, once you've become as strong as I've asked, to go there and take it. Don't KILL everything on it. I may have a use or two for the poeple on it... but I want you to take it. Assert yourself as some kind of ruler and hold dominion over it. Then send word back to me once you have. You may take your friend with you if you wish. In fact, it would be better if you did. After all, two conquering warlords are better than one, hm...?" She winked playfully as if she were joking. "...Once you've done that, phase two will begin and we can start REALLY getting to work!"

Kamae said nothing, he simply let the majin speak at him and he listened diligently. She then ordered him to stand to which he did, quickly his flesh beginning to heal as the process began to finish up. The socketless eyes returning to normal, eyes seeming to emerge from the black sockets a moment later as the cracks finally begun to mend themselves. She then gave him his first order, and that was to grow in strength. That much would be easy, and following that was ordered to namek.
Ahh namek, it always came back to that green world. His Akshaya Vata was unveiled there and his original body achieved there. He supposed it was fate to be tied to it once more. Bowing like a butler being given an order, Kamae said nothing as the girl commanded him to conquer it, not decimate it. The demon continuing to be silent as the girl finished her orders up by telling him to take his giant friend halos.
"As you command."
Kamae stated, pulling the surrounding primal magic back into his person. It crept towards him like a black sludge and fussed with his pants legs, almost as if his outfit was made of the same material.
"Get stronger, Conquer namek, await further orders."
Kamae mirrored her orders back in hopes it was all correct. When the demon was sure she was finished speaking with him, he would excuse himself as he immediately set about his task. He had many things he needed done before he got to work on his new masters orders... He really hoped Derry didn't come into direct opposition of this girl. Slowly making his way towards the exit, Kamae adjusted his jacket sleeves as he prepared to begin his new journey... not what he expected but he couldn't complain he guessed. He wasn't dead, so that was always a plus.
