"I had made a grave mistake in my inability to sense ki."

Kamae stated, staring out over the vast ocean that lay before him, as it didn't matter if he faced his death or died with his back turned. Death was death in the end, he had come here knowing full well he was about to die. Who did all that he had done and not die? 

"I could not sense the danger I had assisted in until he consumed the fruit. I took the fruit in hopes it could be turned into a seed... My intentions whether though success or failure matter little, only the results. I planned for Artic to grow stronger and for you to consume him... to gain his powers."

This was the truth, but Artic had grown far beyond even the demons expectations. Kamae had unintentionally created an obstacle for Liari as he didn't understand her at all. All majins before this had been utter weaklings, and he had learned his healing and regenerative powers from her species. 

"When I was brought into this world, I lost all my strength and more... I got it back and more. Never before have I been this strong..."

Kamae turned to Liari thrn facing her full on, but despite his mistakes... He had genuinely tried to serve his master faithfully, he had just fucked up because he had been sent into the world under prepared. Now he was here to die for it.

"But Your universe is far beyond my original. You are beyond anything I have ever encountered, and artic... Well as I stated before, Everything that had transpired was in an effort to bolster you."

Kamae hated Liari, but her magic worked its wonders. He had served her as faithfully as he could, killed his own minions in her name and now he was the USD president. She had every secret he had to offer, and he was not hiding his past. Despite his hate... he knew that Liari had made him stronger and some part of him was grateful to her. But that only got him so far, he was alone... utterly and the only person he had was Liari who barely interacted with him. Yet those were excuses, and the demon awaited punishment.

"I have failed. I created an enemy who may kill you, I couldn't stop namek from exploding even if I tried and... Frankly its insulting that I even brought the rotten fruit but it is all I have to offer the truth. I did not betray you master... But I do not expect mercy."

Kamae then fell silent, eyes half lidded as he waited patiently for the majin to do her worst. He held the rotten fruit in his hand, its purple miasma flowing from it as the demon returned his gaze to it. In truth... Kamae had hoped to earn Liari's favor, but nothing had panned out. He had failed utterly. 

Kamae was dreadfully confused, as he didn't understand his master's words. She removed his majin mark, and he felt his powers melt away. The demons eyes seemed to dilate as his mind returned to normal, and the shock on his face. He had no idea how to respond, nor did he know how to react when the majin punched him in the stomach. Was she feeling betrayal? He could sense it with his eldritch vision, his eyes narrowing as he tried to understand.

"You..."

Then being thrown away into the dirt, the demon stared in disbelief at the floor. Wait, had Liari mind controlled him to help him? What was this nonsense!? She had tricked him during their combat training and snared him like a rabbit in a trap. Now she was pretending to be disappointed and betrayed. He could only stare at the ground in utter disbelief as rage boiled in his blood, his face soon twisting into one of absolute fury, as he stood up slowly he feelt sick to his stomach at her words.

"Are you... insane? Yes you must be. Aye I must be as well."

Kamae clutched the side of his head as he tried to process what he just heard. His master, the woman who had threatened to devour him and remove everything about himself... was playing a victim card after mushing around in his brain? 

"I think... maybe You broke me pretty good."

Kamae turned slowly, eyes wide with a maniac look, but he supposed she was right. He should have come crawling back to look like a dog to someone who beats him to death. Kamae held out a hand then, uncaring if he was about to die any longer. Above Liari, Kamae summoned a large sum of medieval weapons, to which he unleashed upon his former master. The area about them peppered in a barrage of weapons that were aiming to skewer her and hurt her, this was a futile effort but the demon didn't care. Artic had taken his pride, Liari had forsaken him to namek and now she was mental enough to believe he had hurt her. 

Kamae would have kept attacking Liari if she had not hit his legs, but thankfully the demon's training had paid off. If only in that his legs did not break, but he did fall to his knees clutching them in pain. He was trying to understand Liari, Kamae was evil by nature, a liar by nature and violent by nature. Liari seemed almost... the opposite. As if she was trying to care for Kamae in her own strange way? What the hells was even happening? 

"I hated you, and never made it seem otherwise... And you were all to happy to send me to a back water planet to rot. Come to you for aid... bah. You were to busy with your little new 'pet'. Aye, I sensed your fondness for that creature."

Kamae spat the last bit, but he supposed... he didn't give Liari much choice in the matter. His form of love was to hate something so deeply he wanted to destroy it, and Liari... She seemed to hold a different view point. But regardless, Kamae lowered his gaze then, humilated and silent as he thought about his failures. It mattered little he supposed. Liari was dead set on forsaking the demon and so, slowly getting to his feet. Kamae said nothing as he simply put his hands behind his back as he always did, and said nothing. 

What more was there to say? If he spoke up more, death was sure to follow... if he attacked he would be defeated within moments and killed. But did he truly care anymore? He had lost his pride and he was just as mass of flesh now in his own eyes. Humiliated by the two greatest powers in the galaxy, what more could he do? His new found freedom was wonderful, he didn't fear his eventual death at the hands of his master, but this humiliations were far to much for him to bear. Still the demon remained stoic while he looked the majin in the eyes, hate radiating in the burning yellow eyes. But he said nothing else. She had taken everything from him, his plans, his sanity and twisted him into a knot he couldn't untie from.

He felt a twitch in the back of his mind, his brain feeling an itch in the back of it. It was but for a moment, but the demon quickly brushed it aside.

Kamae was infuriated but he said nothing more, stoic as he contemplated his meaning in all of this. His purpose in this degradation, but her words rang half true in his mind. He saw them both at fault, but more than anything else... Purpose he had come to learn his schemes meant nothing and she had proven that numerous times in her encounters with Kamae. The demon had only done what he had believed best at the time, and he growled his frustrations.

"And you stripped me of that on the various occurrences we met. Degrading my pride until I was submissive enough to take control. Aye it was for me, but it was for you more so. But blame casting will do us no good... Though You are right. I failed myself, in more ways than one."

Kamae was a coward, that was always known to himself and now to Liari... She had pushed the demon to cower for his life. His grand displays of power hide a small insignificant man who's only claim to fame was his long life... Gritting his teeth the demon was coming to terms with his own insignificance in the galaxy at large. Where once he had been a primal threat... now he was nothing more than a slug crawling across the ground in despair. But he remained silent. Blame shifting was getting him no where. Instead the demon closed his eyes as he considered his situation. The calm mind of the demon as he contemplated everything.

"Enough. Kill me or leave me. I have much... to think upon in this life or the next."

Kamae sighed as he rubbed the bridge of his nose, he had never been a warrior before. He had always been the schemer but now... now this was going beyond anything Kamae had prepared for. He had always schemed with tyrants of lesser... powers. Now he was contenting with new and all powerful entities. No longer could Kamae deny he was just another demon amongst many. In this land, he was just a single no one. But he was alive... however could he consider this living? Cowering in a corner from all powerful foes and scurrying about in the dark? What did he truly have to lose anymore now that he had accomplished his goals?

The light in Kamae's eyes were dim, his mind far from the current situation as he thought about all he had accomplished... and all his failures. Did his schemes amount to much? Did his prancing about through the void between creation only make him weaker? What was the problem he had? All of this questions but the real answer was his lack of discipline... He was tolerant of pain, and had the will to life, but his discipline when faced with death was... sorely lacking. He cared to much about his own life and that had ultimately lead him to where he was now. 

Placing a hand to his face, the demon was coming to terms with his delusions and how little he had become now that he was in a new realm. Sure he had grown stronger but he was still as weak as ever. Slowly Kamae began to walk away as he rubbed his temples with his thumb and index finger, his free hand waving before him to open a portal to the void between realms. It was clear Kamae was going to leave if not interrupted, his thoughts preoccupied now that he was experiencing a sort of Ego Death. His understanding of himself and his dissection of his own meaning.
